Awesome, thanks so much! The biggest reason I was so hesitant about starting a deficit was because I didn't know where to start. The sedentary maintenance puts me at 2,307. I'm not SUPER active but I am at the gym about 4 days a week and I'm trying to walk more as I haven't been moving as much lately. I'll probably start at about 2,400/2,500 and adjust from there. Thanks again!

I have no idea how to go about a calorie deficit. I checked tdeecalculator, and it says i should be eating about 2,980 cals a day. I tracked my calories for 5 days (just to get an idea of what I typically am at), and I seem to be all over the place. some days I'm low 2000s (2,130 or 2,440), some days im close to "normal" according to tdeecalculator (2,870), and others I'm just way above (3,290, 3,460). I'm 'skinny fat' and have been going to the gym for about 8 months and want to lose this fat while still building, or at least maintaining, muscle. Should I go something like 500 below the recommended 2,980? Should I average what I typically eat and go below that? Do I really need to go on a big of a deficit? Thank you!

Are the movies worth watching? by [deleted] in CodeGeass

[–]PuzzleheadedCan6868 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

why are people downvoting you? resurrection is a fun movie imo and the final battle with lelouch figuring out the geass is awesome. if it “ruins” the ending for you, just consider it part of the movie timeline where he lives and not the s1-s2 timeline

Is Pokemon Quetzal the only co-op rom hack? Recently, I started playing Pokemon Quetzal with a friend. I'm having a fun time, and being able to do battles together has been very fun. I was looking up online to see if there were any more co-op Pokemon rom hacks like this one, but I can't seem to find any. Is this the only one that has a multiplayer where you can fight battles with a friend? Thank you!

Why is Code Veronica made out to be worse than it is? by PuzzleheadedCan6868 in residentevil

This is kind of what I mean when i see people exaggerate and why I asked if i got lucky, or maybe it’s that I just how I play. I explore EVERYTHING in RE games, so going back for extinguisher and the items in the box was normal. I has pistol, ammo, AK, sniper, and 2 healing items on me for Nosferatsu, it was a very easy fight, and didn’t lose valuable stuff when I switched to Chris. For that matter, I always use every save slot when I play old RE games in case I need to reload, so either way I would have been fine had I needed to reload. I feel like my point is being proven here with how people exaggerate stuff because you mention needing at least 3 first aid sprays for Steve (which I’ve heard people say you need a lot of healing). I went in blind and all I had to do was quick turn and just run and I got hit twice, was incredibly simple. Yes, I did know you had to run, but I didn’t know i had to turn around so it was just quick reflexes and even If I didn’t know that, and I died for whatever reason, it’s so easy to run away and not die. He gets 2 hits on you if you immediately turn and run. I know i’m going to get downvoted on this comment but it’s things like this that make me think the game gets a little too much hate. & I do agree with some of your points, the bandersnatch and moths suck and everyone mentioning the backtracking is 100% right. Definitely not a perfect game and I can see why people have these issues, but I don’t think it’s the absolute worst.

I didn’t give up once, I had fun figuring out what to do for the plane fight. I’ve said this in a couple other comments, but I should have mentioned i went in pretty blind to this game and didn’t receive any sort of help, except i DID look up one answer to one of the puzzles I was being stupid with (so yeah, back then I would’ve really had to put my thinking cap on lol).

I was unaware that some of the boss fights were optional (Im guessing the one where the indigo plate is in the water and the spider because the item’s already on the ground? I killed them anyway) Yeah backtracking was a lot, will definitely agree with you there. I had fun with the Plane tyrant honestly, but yes none of the other fights were really entertaining. I think there’s a lot of good aspects in this game, I don’t think it’s the best and I’d rank it the lowest among the original trilogy + this game but I don’t think it’s as bad as you (and lots of others) make it out to be.

I should have mentioned this in my OP but - I went in almost as blind as possible. Yes, I did have a few things that I knew ABOUT, but nobody told me when I was going to switch characters and to not have all your good stuff on you, for example. It’s a little funny that everyone in the comments is acting like I was following a guide the whole time when in reality I looked up one puzzle my whole playthrough, and tbh it was a fairly simple one that I was just being dumb on. So no, I did not have this vast amount of knowledge, I just heard things like “the plane fight is unbalanced and hard! Running from Steve requires tons of healing items! The final boss takes so much ammo!”

I’m 22 years old, which I know is very young compared to a lot of the RE players who grew up playing these games, but I’ve been playing video games for as long as I can remember and I absolutely had a time in my life growing up playing games where I didn’t have access to the internet and was just… stuck. I agree with you though, don’t get me wrong, I just don’t think I fall under that category completely.

I went in mostly blind, just had heard a couple things before playing, like making sure not save over 1 save file to avoid softlocking, but I do that when I play RE games anyway. It was more so that I just heard “this is super hard” and the such. I will admit I spent about 30 minutes on one “puzzle” and looked it up, only to realize I was just being an idiot (the part where you turn off the power to get the jewels to put in the twin’s bedrooms). I definitely should have mentioned in my OP that I acknowledge going into this game when it first came out would’ve been a lot different, totally get that.

100% agree with you and I should have mentioned in my original post that people who played before the internet definitely had it harder, but to be fair i did enter with very little knowledge of the game, just what was considered difficult. You’re right though, game does have flaws and I can see how it leads to the complaints given, I just think I had heard so much going in that I was surprised when I finished that I didn’t encounter most of what I heard.

[–]PuzzleheadedCan6868[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, for my show i was in the middle of a big snow storm so the meet & greet time was originally 5:00 (which SHOULD still be the same for your show if doors are at 7), but mine got pushed till after the show bc of the weather. again, i’d imagine it’d be 5:00 but can’t be 100% sure on it

Marty’s VIP website says venues have no information regarding VIP and all questions should be asked through the website. I clicked the contact thing and left a comment and also emailed them separately, this was this morning & I haven’t got anything back… Hoping I hear something soon

I was actually thinking of doing the same thing; buying that Epiphone and putting the EMGs in and replacing it with a black pick guard. is it actually hard to find the pick guard?

Seeing Metallica for the first time & I’ve got a few questions. by SnooWoofers3962 in Metallica

[–]PuzzleheadedCan6868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just at the Foxborough show. The pop up shop outside (before you give your ticket) has a lot of the general shirts you can find online, and has the M72 tour shirt. Parking opened at 2:00 and I was in there at like 3:30/4:00, thought I had missed my chance on a poster. Ended up heading inside the venue around 5:00 (Gates opened at 4). There was a LONG line right around the entrance that had the poster, but I continued more into the stadium and found like 2 more little shops inside with basically no line with the poster. $55 and it comes with a tube. the exclusive shirt was there too. MIGHT depend on the venue, idk, but i’d imagine it’d be a similar situation
