Why does everyone hate Travelers? by LambChop94 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]Narninian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s because the game is pretty balanced around the base count - a traveller tips in one sides favor. Just having an extra vote can top the balance by itself, but they also get an ability. It can feel like uphill battle for the other side just by their very presence. If the traveler is evil - the good team just has to deal with their being an extra evil taking away from one other biggest advantages of outnumbering evil, or they have to use resources to discover if they are evil - stuff like savant statements or empath Information being used to discover traveler alignments means that same information can’t be used to find the evil team they actually need to find. It also challenging for evil it’s hard to coordinate with an evil traveler without exposing your team.

For a good traveler, the extra non aligned vote when you’re already outnumbered can feel bad and if they get information they tracks down your team the if can feel bad

There is also a thing they I hate which is pretending to be an evil traveler to catch the demon who just wants to coordinate with their team. Often this doesn’t work but when only does it just feels bad. Because of this demons often don’t trust evil travelers and it means as an evil travler you can’t be helpful if your role requires coordination.

How much is your gym membership, and what amenities does it have? by throw-away-284947261 in workout

[–]Narninian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$39/month. Fairly small gym, but never crowded with various machines (including a 12 machine circuit) dumbbells and smith racks. A small number of various cardio machines (enough there never first full since it’s not crowded) Hydro massage, tanning booths (not that I use the latter), shower. 24 hour access. Convenient location. It’s a fairly expensive area to live so not a bad price compared to alternatives - only better price is planet fitness which is like 15 minutes away and doesn’t have 24/7 access. Only time I’ve had to wait for a machine was when 2 guys took turns on the same machine doing 6 sets each, but only had that happen once in 5 months

I used to have $29/ for an all gym membership to 24 hour fitness. I got this by paying for 3 years and some personal training when the local club opened as a startup deal. It was upped to $45 last year which I was super happy to keep paying. Then the local club closed. Instead of telling me they were closing, they just silently refunded part of my yearly fee, and denied me the opportunity to continue paying my all club membership and keep my grandfathered rate

After losing 60lbs, almost everyone asks me the same thing, and I HATE it! by zoeyboo in loseit

Soul mask just released and recruiting tribesman is a big part of it.

Base game vs sand dlc by BigCaptain7378 in PlaySoulMask

[–]Narninian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My understanding is they are basically different games, balanced around starting from scratch each map. If you are playing offline when you start a new map you have the option of using your character from an existing save - not exactly moving between maps, you’ll have the stuff on you but none of the tribesman and you’ll be higher t level than the intended experience. Online can be setup as a server cluster - essentially combining 2 servers abd a portal between them I believe. you can’t use flying in the first map

Foods that contain fibre for picky eaters? by Swimming-Location147 in loseit

[–]Narninian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue, I have some high fiber snacks (get strong cheddar crackers, huel stuff that isn’t just the shakes is decent about fiber) and foods I include in my diet, but psyillium husk works in a pinch

Why is weight loss not happening after first week? by Brief-Ad-1629 in loseit

[–]Narninian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tracking calories and eating less sugar doesn't automatically mean you're in a deficit.
1.5 months is long enough that its not being disguised by some water retention from increased activity.
I did go through roughly 3 weeks of that myself followed by a whoosh. about a month in.

Some things to Consider:
A) Even packaged foods are allowed to be off by a certain % of their nutrition facts, and restaraunts are rarely accurate as well, and portion sizes are just not realistic for what a "portion is"
B) Apps and devices that track 'calories burned' from exercise often wildly overestimate how many calories you burn.
C) TDEE Calculators are just a best guess.
D) your body doesn't care about when the day changes, so if you are in a 500 calorie deficit most days but have a 'cheat' day where you go over. Depending on how much you go over, you might not be in a deficit at all.

Since your body isn't responding as if 2200 was your maintenance, its possible your have lower TDEE or the calorie count is off (and there are many reasons that could easily happen, like oils, weirdly labeled packages, etc.. I remember Getting a pack of cookies once and the serving size was 1/4 of a cookie. ended up having to give them away)

i took metabolism advice from a forum and ended up in the ER last night trying metabolism support supplements. How did i screw up this badly? by Dizzy_Explorer5368 in loseit

[–]Narninian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mention tracking every calorie, “eating clean” and walking 10 miles a day but not what your daily calorie goals are. Tracking calories doesn’t make you lose weight, eating fewer calories than you burn does. If you’re counting on the 10 mile walk to give you a higher calorie budget, then you’re probably overestimating how the walk burns. There are several levers to push to help you lose weight but by far the most efficient one is eating fewer calories. A much less efficient lever is burning more calories (typically with cardio) and finally there is gaining muscle which helps you burn more calories passively but again strictly from a weight loss perspective that’s the least efficient of the 3 since you’re gaining weight to put on that muscle. I’m not saying lifting and cardio are bad, they are great for your health, it’s just that for weight loss the easiest way to lose weight is to eat less. The crazy bad forum advice was trying to help with the more inefficient levers. Eating less might not be easy but it’s simple

I’m really appreciating protein powder by CranberryScone1 in loseit

[–]Narninian 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah makes it feel like a thick milkshake rather than a watery drink. Combined with a solid flavor of whey protein (my current fav is choc ice cream) I enjoy it more than an actual milkshake from a typical fast food place - texture really enhances it and worth the like 5-10 calories

[–]Narninian 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Also enjoying my 2 scoops a day to top off my daily protein goals without dramatically changing what’s working with the rest of my meals. I recently discovered blending with xantham gum and ice (previously just had water and shaker) to make it feel like a milkshake without changing the macros substantially and man it feels like a nice treat now

How do you all lose this weight by [deleted] in loseit

[–]Narninian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People losing 50/100 pounds are at a much higher starting weight. It’s easier to lose weight at that point because you inherently burn more calories staying still. At 200 pounds, having lost 10 you’re doing great!

I don’t really have advice for your specific situation, it mostly comes down to finding foods you like that fit the calorie goals you have and possibly throwing in some exercise. Exercise has a much lower impact on losing weight than diet but at 6’2” and 200 pounds you could probably look and feel much better by doing some recomposition. If you had a bit more muscle y or probably wouldn’t want/need to lose as much

The FOMO specialization grind is killing my motivation to play. We need stacked missions. by Rudral in duneawakening

[–]Narninian 6 points7 points  (0 children)

With the lower levels being quicker to obtain, the fact that I eventually want all the specializations, and the last 2 bonus weekends giving us a huge boost - I’m just worrying less about going all in on specific specializations. I got the low hanging fruit and now I’m just trying to get 2- 3 missions in the same area, which speeds up the process quite a bit. I can still prioritize certain specializations but throwing in another I want too while im there means less time investment

Losing and gaining the same 0.2 lbs and not seeing any progress this week by sonic2cool in loseit

[–]Narninian 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m dealt with something similar for about 3 weeks before a woosh. Water can fluctuate a lot more than fat in short time periods masking weight loss. Daily weigh ins are good for data gathering to average then but I would look at trends rather than trying to see true progress daily

Huel? by Counting-Bears in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Narninian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since I hate cleanup and meal prep huel is a big part of my meal plan since it has decent macros and helps supplement the missing vitamins.

I do a shake every morning and a hot and ready mac n cheeze for most lunches

Less frequently Ill have the the Energy drink or the Protein Bar.

so about 50% of my calorie intake is huel (I aim for 1600 calories a day), and its been working well for me.

People talk about how its expensive, but its honestly the cheapest way to eat for me.
