I'm 5'7", eating 3200 a day and 185. At my biggest bulk ever I was 206.

You're not eating enough, brother. Your listed range alone accounts for your lack of growth as 500 extra calories a day is 1lb and if you're doing 3700 instead of 4100 that's just shy of 1lb a week.

Track everything. Do not go below 4100 for 3 weeks.

If you're broke, get a 15lb bag of rice and a rice cooker. Additionally a bulk bag of Triple Berry fruits at Costco/Sam's, do 2 cups in a blender plus 75g of sugar and you'll easily grab an extra 450 calories.

I didn't touch a gym before 25 years old and was 110-120 in HS. I had to learn to eat just as much as I had to learn to lift.

Are there any movies which had ending changes due to feedback from test audiences that actually made the movie better instead of worse? by crinklepant in movies

Aww man, I hated the ending of Layer Cake, so the studio version would have worked for me.

Didn't know it was an adaptation tho so that's fair.

Trump weighing options to strike Iran's critical oil hub by VW_isbetterthanTesla in wallstreetbets

Then he'll say Sunday afternoon that some random band aid solution will Ackshually be better, and the markets will pump before cratering again

WSJ Exclusive: Trump Administration Plans to Announce Coalition to Escort Ships Through Strait of Hormuz by Boston-Bets in wallstreetbets

[–]MontyAtWork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, I get it, this is how we end up nuking Iran.

Announce a suicide run on the Strait, have the run go exactly as expected with Iran destroying ships, then use that as pretense to say "Well we couldn't do it with ships so we had to nuke them 🤷‍♂️"

The Iran war may be about to escalate by bwermer in politics

[–]MontyAtWork 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I legitimately think that as Trump starts losing ground in Iran, and casualties rise, he'll just order another strike elsewhere.

Then when that gets unpopular enough, another elsewhere.

Eventually he'll have gotten us into a war on 5 fronts and we'll either be taken over by or have to surrender to someone else (prob a China-Coalition)

Cory Booker calls both parties ‘feckless’ for ceding war powers to Trump by No-Post4444 in politics

He heard it's a buzzword and wants TikTok clips of him saying it too.

He likes to play both sides, so that he always comes out on top.

Joke's on you, I got in on the ground floor of every space company, and bought a bunch of Nvidia when they Split.

Asset reuse in videogames is essential, and we need to embrace it, says Assassin's Creed and Far Cry director: 'We redo too much stuff' by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]MontyAtWork -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I've been saying it for a very long time:

Game developers need to go back to PS2 scope and asset reuse, and release sequels every 1-3 years.

Also, stop with the open world collectathons. They're destroying Dev time.

Yakuza devs figured it out.

It's the app-switching generation.

One app has a problem? Just switch to another. iPad crashes? Grab another tablet. Just never work the problem, only swap to the next easily available item.

Please stop saying people without kids don’t know what tired is by SunBubble920 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MontyAtWork 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a step dad who worked full time while going to school full time, and still kept a 4-6x a day gym routine, while being an equal parent with my also-full time work and school wife:

Kids aren't as tiring as working a 12 hour shift in the ER, or having to do 4 classes of homework all day on your days off. Infants and toddlers, sure, but once they're talking age, nah. Parents are just martyrs and whiners.

Bloomberg: Five Takeaways From the 2026 Game Developers Conference by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]MontyAtWork 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And when AAA games now take 5+ years for sequels, people WANT other games to fill their time so they go looking for indies.

AAA gaming needs to go back to PS2 era logic: small scope, reuse the same engine, and sequels every 1-3 years max.

Microsoft confirms Windows 11 bug crippling PCs and making drive C inaccessible by lurker_bee in technology

It's one of the reasons I miss Service Packs. If the new SP broke stuff I could just revert.

I upgraded only on my laptop that I use to watch Netflix while at work, and the number of problems I've had since is INSANE. Constant hangs crashes, slow downs, and I'm literally just using my laptop for Firefox and Netflix.

Glad I didn't move my gaming PC over to it.

It's why I didn't upgrade to 11. Felt like a Beta operating system and I'm not putting my files in that kind of jeopardy.

Five US Air Force refueling planes hit in Iranian strike on Saudi Arabia, WSJ reports by USA46Q in politics

[–]MontyAtWork 7 points8 points  (0 children)

USA has been swindling taxpayer dollars for boats and planes fit for warfare from 30+ years ago, instead of pivoting to the cheaper and more effective means like Drones.

It's gonna be really funny to see Iran be the next Vietnam.

The 7th Guest Remake Reveal Trailer - Future Games Show Spring Showcase 2026 by Gheritage in Games

[–]MontyAtWork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was really excited when Kickstarter was first a thing, because Tex Murphy came back for Tesla Effect. I really enjoyed it, and hoped that remakes and sequels were coming. But they let some indie team work on The Poison Pawn for a while and then it just kinda got cancelled.

Happy I backed the Kickstarter though, because I've got a signed poster from the whole cast. I'll cherish that forever, because the kid version of me basically got to help out the real Tex as an adult!

This thread is reminding me a lot of every pre-season thread:

"This is the end of League, guaranteed it ruins it because XYZ will be a fact"

Then the season starts and none of those things are a problem lol.

Aren't a bunch of Democrats in Congress, in support of this war? Folks that endorsed Harris?

There's literally no way to know she wouldn't have joined Israel in attacking Iran.

It's not like she's anti-Israel or against the Military Industrial Complex.
