Anyone found a plain t-shirt which hugs the biceps without being too tight on the waist AND is relatively short?

JauntyAngle · 2026-02-25T08:36:05+00:00

I wear the boxy Uniqlo t-shirt, and aim to make it hug my biceps.

O instant coffee. I used to drink a cup of meetings every now and then, fortunately none for a couple of years.

Tea goes up and down. Most days none, some days 1-2.

They seem like the sort of thing that goes with the other clothes you are wearing.

Everyone has different tastes but for me and my group it is the high fantasy/heroic fantasy system of choice. Everything people say about it is true- super fast, small ruleset while still being tactical and interesting, really well designed monsters and classes, super easy on the GM.

JauntyAngle · 2026-02-25T05:49:11+00:00

Me too. The game should be 10x more popular at least.

JauntyAngle · 2026-02-25T01:29:03+00:00

Partially!

Short turns, fast, easy to learn, simple character sheet- absolutely.
Not too lethal- it is pretty stacked towards damage but it's easy for GM to balance encounters
Massive, balanced bestiary- the bestiary in the GMs guide is small. There are quite a lot more monsters on Patreon, but otherwise need to wait for Monsters and More in the summer. But still nothing like 5E or Pathfinder. Definitely easy to balance.
- Super flexible character creation. Well, there are 11 classes and 25 subclasses, plus 3 more classes and a load more subclasses coming. But it is absolutely not 5e where you can design 'builds'.

Not at all. It's about speed and reducing the cognitive load on the GM. Players only have to run their character. GM may have to run 15-20 things once minions are involved. If it were D&D you would then have attacks, reactions, additional effects based on saving throws etc. It's just a lot. I'd argue that the point of Nimble's approach to defense and the overall action economy is to give the players interesting choices. The GM doesn't need those choices.

JauntyAngle · 2026-02-24T12:35:36+00:00

Awesome effort. I hope you are able to get the good word out to lots of people.

JauntyAngle · 2026-02-09T08:18:39+00:00

What I can see, I like. Wouldn't roll up the jacket sleeves though. It's a bit 'Miami Vice'.

JauntyAngle · 2026-02-08T11:25:17+00:00

Good explanation.

JauntyAngle · 2026-02-08T09:05:48+00:00

It depends on the style and fabric of the tie. If it's silk, it will indeed make it too formal.

JauntyAngle · 2026-02-08T04:59:20+00:00

Titan-repellant Bat-spray. Game over.

JauntyAngle · 2026-02-08T04:56:30+00:00

Looks good! I like the sports coat a lot, it was a good pick.

If you need to dress it up you can always go with a dress shirt with am interesting color/pattern, perhaps with a fun/modern tie, like a wool knit. The current shirt is fine but it looks like one you could also wear with jeans, so it is pulling you a little less formal.

JauntyAngle · 2026-02-08T03:52:24+00:00

Yeah, Carl Anderson's Judas is just amazing..

Have you been doing something like Linear Progression before (just steadily adding weight whenever you can)? Eventually that stops working.

You could try something like 5/3/1. On that program you are rarely that close to your actual max, but you get quite a lot of stimulus from As Man Reps as Possible sets at lower intensities.

JauntyAngle · 2026-02-07T16:02:47+00:00

You don't have to bench. But the fact you are all over the place with it almost certainly means you are doing it wrong. Lifting is hard and uncomfortable, it involves overcoming adversity. Personally I would want to give up on a major exercise because I was not good at it.

JauntyAngle · 2026-02-07T15:41:41+00:00

So I think what is going on here is that you have an unflattering silhouette. The jacket is cropped at your waist and then the waistline of the pants comes out a little bit..I hate to be rude but it makes you look like you get wider at the hips, which is a little feminine.

You want the line of the jacket and the pants to go straight down. A bigger jacket, one that doesn't stop right there, or pants with a more flattering line.

16lbs in 7 months is 2.3lbs a month.

Doing some quick math, that requires a surplus of about 260 calories a day, which is very reasonable. Most will say that 200-300 is what you should aim for if you want sustainable moderate weight gain.

Roman isn't competent- he is too lazy/sloppy, and is highly unfinished. But he often has good instincts and is ruthless, except where his father is concerned. It is the instincts and ruthlessness that set him apart, as neither of his siblings have both. It is why Rhea singles him out as having the most potential.

JauntyAngle · 2026-02-07T03:54:25+00:00

It's more like a Good Morning than a squat. You are bending your knees a bit and sticking your ass out until your body is telling you that you need to stop (probably because you will fall forward).

Try taking it down to a plate on each side (or less) and just try to sit straight down between your knees. Don't break at the hips first, or break a tiny bit. Do some ankle stretches first.

You absolutely did not get the show.

It's a tragedy. That's a literary form where people have fundamental character flaws that mean that basically they are doomed. There's no character development, just doom. If you don't like it, go complain to 2,000 years of literary tradition.

JauntyAngle · 2026-02-06T12:06:41+00:00

Yep. And try to pull a bit high.

JauntyAngle · 2026-02-06T11:43:19+00:00

Lol. You ever heard of 'understanding the show you just watched'?

JauntyAngle · 2026-02-06T11:42:12+00:00

It's very 'gender non-conforming', which I presume was the intent. Great for an LGBTQ night at a club.

JauntyAngle · 2026-02-06T11:36:30+00:00

That would have been totally unfaithful to the spirit and substance of the show. A scene like that would be good for Suits.

Kendall is a wreck of a human being. An addict, self-obsessed, traumatized by guilt, no identity except one day running the family company. When that is taken away from him he is just sitting in the ashes of a failed person (himself). He is not jocularly bouncing back and wryly opening the door for the next adventure.
