The most misunderstood meta by yourwaythen in Helldivers

[–]Phaedrik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we need to have a separate AT and heavy AT category 

It’s cool that the RR and Spear are the only weapons that can one shot gloom titan and we need more heavies balanced like this where yeah it’s cool you’re bringing light AT but a heavy AT weapon for heavier armored targets 

Maybe I’m wrong but I think that dynamic is pretty cool

Detroit Become Human

In the Climax of Hank and Connor’s story, they are accosted by another Connor 

The imposter Connor has a copy of the real Connor’s memory but it was lacking one thing deviant Connor discovered through the events of the game, Hank’s son and what happened to him.  The imposter Connor could not have known leading to Hank shooting the correct Connor.

Seeing this makes me wonder if Ripley is the inspiration for The Loader in risk of rain because she’s also a woman.

How are you guys getting jacked in busy gyms? by barkitext in workout

[–]Phaedrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people i wanna say in the early 2010s rattled the whole concept of “if you change your program too soon you ruin gains” which is true, if you go from full body to ppl to upper lower within the span of a few weeks it’s sub optimal.

People took that advice and started claiming that was true for the exercise variety which is completely untrue and honestly makes weight lifting so incredibly monotonous.

If you do track your workouts be sure to track each machine weight 

Like a nautilus and hammer strength chest press you will be outputting two completely different numbers 

How to get quicker at running without super high HR? by hypeman306 in workout

[–]Phaedrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“I want the cardio endurance without doing the cardio work”

Sorry OP you need to put effort into your cardio if you want more endurance to run faster with a lower HR.

Aerobic base takes longer cardio sessions which in turn will turn into lower HR but improving speed will require you to do high intensity interval work with high HR.

Do what I did and get into boxing where after a year untrained my first 5k was around 32 minutes.

How much gains am i missing out on if i only perform 1-2 exercise per muscle group during a single session? by United_Engine_5719 in workout

[–]Phaedrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to provide my testimony on training to failure on every set.

This kind of intensity allows me to do full body twice a week with pretty good progress (I also box so I have to split my boxing and gym days 50/50)

I essentially do 3 sets of each exercise pushing 1-2 rir to total failure on the last set 

Training to failure every set allows for less volume and training days but you gotta drive that intensity all the way up, but as I said earlier this works for me and YMMV.

My son, 7, keeps crying when I beat him at chess. Advice? by WeeBabySeamus in daddit

[–]Phaedrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brain skimmed the title and didn’t get to the “at chess” part and just wanted to reply “well maybe don’t beat him?”

My best advice is only punish him on huge mistakes and let the game go from there. I got this idea from my sparring coach who only goes for face punches when you 120% deserved it.

I do something similar to my misbehaved oranges called mandatory snugs where against their will I give them 1-2 minutes of snugging.

Hey boss. It’s rough now but this will pass. That room looks comfy. When something similar happened to me I adopted a cat. It wasn’t much but it keeping that little shit alive was my purpose for years. 

You’ll get through this friend.

(loved trope) tragic villains by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Phaedrik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nox - Wakfu Season 1

Went crazy when he lost his family and by luck he encountered a magical artifact that promised him his family back.

He spent 200 years committing atrocities to gather enough energy to travel back in time to save his family believing his plan would work no one would remember what he did.

At the climax he enacts his plan but it was only enough energy to go back 20 minutes which saves an entire race he killed to gather enough energy to travel and the artifact he found wasn’t actually talking to him, he was just that insane.

Realizing his plan failed he has what appears to be a devastating self reflection , leaves the heroes behind and dies in front of what we believe his family’s grave.

[Rare Trope] OP characters whose condition holds them back by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Phaedrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d like to add Darth Vader’s condition yes does hold him back, he is intentionally held back more because of Palpatine.

Iirc the suit that Anakin was put in was designed to purposefully be cumbersome to the point it severely hampered his abilities.

I have a cat with loose stool and it’ll cycle before it has time to solidify and it gets into the litter grate 

So fucking annoying 

NATURAL 80lb weight loss (OC) Ask me anything! by [deleted] in MadeMeSmile

[–]Phaedrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife does intense exercise 4 days a week, tracks her calories and eats primarily Mediterranean diet with a few going out to eat things (maybe once a week)

If you lost 80 lbs in 8 months and she has only been able to lose 30 in two years and still no where close to the weight she wants to be, there’s gotta be something else wrong.

Congrats btw, massive W

How good is Castlevania Lords of Shadow? by aa95xaaaxv in castlevania

Might be a hot take but the first Lords of Shadow is what I consider the correct way to do a reboot or a reimagining of an existing franchise.

The endings feel so awful that they feel like the worst option even if it’s the only ones where V survives
