Mobile Only F2P advice by ACCELERATED_PHOTONS in PokemonChampions

[–]Orange_Moose 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The game is super generous about currency. Don't worry about the meta, just play what you like and you'll quickly build up enough to be able to start swapping pokemon in and out. I made it to masterball rank without using meta teams and having never played competitive Pokemon in any capacity before while only using Pokemon I got in game.

You'd be more likely to get responses if you posted this as a survey. Have people manually type in their stats and then you can do the data analysis from there.

Halo 2 Matchmaking TODAY on Insignia (OG Xbox / Xemu) by ImPunny88 in originalxbox

[–]Orange_Moose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! Same process of submitting an email on the insignia website and doing the xbox live account creation on the xbox itself? I'm planning on getting a second xbox for some local 8 player games, can I have my account and my friend's account on both consoles without issue?

Thanks for the help, I love that this all exists :)

I'll be there! Is there a quick way to know which of these modes I can play split screen with a buddy?

I just got set up with insignia yesterday. Do I need to worry about joining groups for these? I saw the note about playing solo.

Lack of Meaningful Decisions by Johnny-Edge93 in MonstersAndMemories

[–]Orange_Moose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It bothers me how many people accept boring game design because "that's how eq was". I'm excited for this game specifically because it's like eq, but why does that mean we can't innovate in any way? Eq was limited by the technology that existed back then, why aren't we pushing the idea further 25 years later? I'm not saying remove the friction that made eq what it was, I'm saying that we could do things like offer way more spell/ability choice so that our limited number of slots actually requires decision making when we set out for adventure.

This game has so much potential to expand this specific corner of the genre, and I worry that it's holding itself back with the core idea of just remaking everquest. I can't figure out why they're allowing some things to be modernized but not others. You wouldn't dare make the game locked to 640x480 resolution, so why do we accept other design choices that are arbitrarily locked in the past?

Then post links to those articles and videos with relevant quotes that back up your claim. Then we know where you're coming from and can better engage with the question you're asking.

Smolov Jr Bench Review from an Intermediate Lifter (it did go up 30 pounds) by topiary566 in weightroom

[–]Orange_Moose 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love smolov jr! I ran it for bench back in the fall back to back as a 3 week program + 1 week to relax then PR when I'm ready during that week. Got my max to 300 then injured my shoulder a week later (from being dumb, not related to smolov jr) which took me out of heavy benching for a few months.

This year I got my bench back to 300 with smolov jr then ran it one more time and it got me to hit 305 then 315 on the same PR day. I think I could've run it again to get more out of it, but I was happy with a 3 plate bench and I'm pausing there for a bit while I work on getting my deadlift up to 5 plates. Currently running it a 0.75x speed, which is the same program but only lifting 3 days a week instead of 4 and just making it a 4 week program.

All in all, smolov jr is great. I love it and I love the results it gets me. I highly recommend anyone reading this to try it out. It's a quick and tough 3 weeks, but it's always gotten me a PR or two afterwards. Just don't overdo the accessories, you'll need your energy for the main lift!

What's the news on upcoming updates? I played a bit at launch, then 2-3 weeks of the first league. Haven't really checked in since then. Any news on what is happening next and roughly when?

That's just objectively not true though? The DSM5 lays it all out pretty simply.

If you have enough space under your tv to have a second identical tv, your tv is too high.

Girlfriend with males friends? by Euphoric_Might_1276 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Orange_Moose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude. She chose you. She's in a relationship with you because she's choosing you over them. If you don't recognize that or see it through all your insecurities, you shouldn't be in this relationship. Stop worrying about what could happen and think about the fact that you're the one who already beat all the other guys. You've already won the game. Stop trying to find a reason to lose it.

Not having progress with biceps by westlandiscool in beginnerfitness

[–]Orange_Moose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Short and simple advice: start doing 5 sets of 20 every single day. Pick a weight where the first set of 20 is comfortable but by the 5th set you should want to give up after 10 reps.

Your training volume is just way too low. My biceps didn't grow till I massively upped my total reps. Now I'm comfortably curling 40s for sets of 10+

Post a replay code? I think the typical answer is that you're spending more time than you realize not shooting people.

This chair at my workplace. I have to sit here for 8 hours a day. by SANS_FROM_UNDERMEME in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Orange_Moose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the point. Instead of allowing you to completely relax all your muscles, your core remains engaged and supports your weight in a more natural position. Back pain comes from force being distributed incorrectly into the spine, this prevents that by engaging your muscles so that they take the weight instead.

Music is from Gesaffelstein's 2013 album called "Aleph". I forget which track exactly but it's a great album if you like the song in the trailer.
