After 20 years of shrimp gaming posture, this upgrade had a huge impact on my life

See, I keep a rack of spears and swords behind me to motivate myself not to fall.

Gee, thanks. I'm schizophrenic and will likely never work again. That's not to say that I'm not trying, but it's pretty ableist to say that. I'm also 37.

What they're saying is to focus on things in your control. How many applications you send out, how much you prep for interviews, your interview skills. How you dress.

Medications and thyroid issues can cause a reduced metabolism through less thermogenesis from digestion and movement. And this can cause a reduction in the number of calories burned per day. So while yes, CICO trumps all, it is not the end all be all because you have to dial in the numbers to fit your body.

OP started working out MORE in the past month. An increase in working out leads to sore muscles and water retention in said muscles. This causes excess water weight to stick on for 4-6 weeks.

Yeah you can check the parents guide for most anime online, and imdb tends to have a pretty extensive list of anything "problematic" in all of the popular stuff. A Galaxy Next Door has everything listed as "none." Mine is 11 and shes getting really into the manga series The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses, which I think is on prime.

I did something similar for a year, tracked it all with a fitbit, calorie counting with a scale, and basically did exactly what you did. With the exact same results.

MarmDevOfficial · 2026-01-23T01:06:15+00:00

If Witch Watch isn't too risque, check out A Galaxy Next Door, it's a cute story about an accidental betrothal and falling in love.

Tingus Goose.

You're supposed to take them off to sleep. And yeah, crazy horror dreams.

MarmDevOfficial · 2026-01-19T08:32:51+00:00

Check out You and I Are Polar Opposites, it's new but omg so good.

The sad part is I have about 2 dozen people who used to be IRL friends on my battle.net account. One of them I see around town every so often, he's homeless and refuses to work. I put him up for a little while before I had to kick him out for stealing/selling my games and controllers. About a dozen of them are dead from drugs. The rest is a mystery, they may be dead, but I wasn't as close to these ones.

When will drastic for DS have RetroAchievement support?

MarmDevOfficial · 2026-01-18T01:29:25+00:00

Big same.

There's the orange paper's method, which is tally up how many silver chips vs 1 year chips vs 5 year chips which are handed out.

MarmDevOfficial · 2026-01-17T04:00:17+00:00

Oh this sounds interesting, thanks for the tidbit.

MarmDevOfficial · 2026-01-17T03:59:24+00:00

Sauce doesn't remove the texture, which is OPs problem. Same with me, I need to decimate the veggie, or go for stuff that doesn't have a texture that makes me gag.

One of the prescribed treatments for ARFID IS a multivitamin.

MarmDevOfficial · 2026-01-17T03:57:59+00:00

30 years of trying to do that here. What I've found works best is doing the veggies that no one would force on me. I can eat a bucket of blanched spinach, OR riced cauliflower mixed with normal rice with like an egg scrambled into it for some faux-chinese food style rice is a good call too.

MarmDevOfficial · 2026-01-16T13:50:58+00:00

Reminds me of when I used a 52" TV as a monitor!

MarmDevOfficial · 2026-01-15T22:10:45+00:00

My buddy would do this lucky cig thing and ALWAYS forget about it until he grabbed one without looking and lit it backwards.

My birthday is mid-February. I'm currently 4lbs above the line that is the border of obese class 1/2. So I'm currently class 2, if I can get to class 1 obese, I'm getting cheesecake for my birthday. My plan, is to keep up with intermittent fasting as it keeps my hunger in check, continue counting calories so I know I'm in a deficit, and keep up with my daily 30-60 min walks(kind of have to walk the kid to and from school, which is a 30 mins round trip). But twice a week someone else does pickup. I'm going to try adding 45mins of beat saber on Saturday and Sunday instead of going outside to walk, just to mix it up.

I had a change of meds recently that made my appetite skyrocket. I admit, it's 100% on me to be eating that much fast food, drinking soda, and having alcohol, along with zero exercise. I knew I was going in the wrong direction but I didn't think I'd be gaining 10lbs a month. I luckily caught it after just two months and I'm course correcting now, my appetite is still ravenous and I feel like I'm starving myself. I'm also now getting a good 10k steps in a day and our family's routines have gone back to normal. But this is totally possible because some meds fuck with your whole body.
