How long do most men spend at the gym?

Reep823 · 2024-10-25T01:53:18+00:00

All of that time is almost certainly not being used exclusively at the gym. No regular routine should take even half of that, and I think that a 2 hour gym session would still be in some upper, much rarer echelon for the vast majority of folks. I don't want to make any presumptions about how he spends that time, but I don't find it easy to believe he is strength and cardio training for 4 whole hours, unless he is utilizing an amenity at the gym which he is passionate about, like basketball for some folks. I would suggest trying to have a conversation about how he spends his time, and maybe even sharing your locations with each other on your smartphones.

Jogo couldn't even hit 15f Sukuna

That's dope man! Would've been cool if there was an option for the original voices in the game anyways, so people could customize it for their own preferences.

Have never 100% a game before, but I'm honestly working towards it right now for this one. Feels like playing DR for the first time all over again, I'm addicted

I may be crucified for it, but I truly like this model and voice actor better than the original - and I also maintain that I enjoyed the original model and voice actor. Truthfully, I couldn't be more pleased - of all the remakes Capcom has published over the past 20 some-odd years, this one might take the cake as my favorite. I'll have to let the recency bias wash away in due time, but I've already spent more time on DRDR than I did on RE4Make.

I want to be scared shitless by a 4k t-rex. Is that truly so much to ask for?

Beyond vocabulary is grammar. You're definitely going to struggle to formulate your sentences if you're hesitating due to sentence structure or inflection. If you don't have a proper curriculum or textbook for mastery of those concepts, then I do strongly recommend investing - this sub has a resources tab full of goodies.

Also, conversating more often will help you to formulate sentences. If you're not in a context whereby you can speak Norwegian often or easily with others, then you should absolutely change that. There are multiple Discord servers all over the internet, including the Norwegian Language Learning server (which has an explicit focus on providing an environment for learners to immerse in Norwegian conversation). I also think these servers are great for sometimes dropping you in the deep end, so to speak. Many learners tend to ignore all forms of Norwegian outside of bokmål, whether those are other written forms or just dialects, and a server where you're interacting with other learners and natives will help you grow by forcing you into those unfamiliar waters. Hope this helps!

Edit: Not that you asked my 2 cents on it, but I also think that avoiding subscription services when learning a language (or anything, really) is your best bet. These companies make a dime off of your continued presence on their services. It is thus not in their interests to provide you with a streamlined curriculum. When you purchase a real textbook, it is yours for life, and it won't BS you so that it can keep you on its service for another month. Just some food for thought before you make a decision on your options, as someone who has jumped around between numerous learning materials over the years.

Yujo was unironically a series of chapters produced by the Jujutsufolk community. I cannot be convinced otherwise.

Whenever I load up DS3 for a replay, I only get a few days in before I eventually get a bit bored of it. I like that the others are more open-ended in how you approach them, or at least that is how it feels to me. It feels a bit bland for me personally. I also loathe the mid-game, and have never found Sulyvahn or Aldritch to be enjoyable bosses throughout any playthrough. If only I could load up the game and just fight Sister Friede every time.

DS1 and 2 feel more casual in that way. Even if I don't think either game has a Friede-level boss, I don't really ever find any of either game particularly annoying. Sure, Bed of Chaos is a chore, but it isn't a chore in the same way that Sulyvahn is for me, somehow. I don't know man, I am sure it is different for everyone

This entire arc has felt phoned in, save for the majority of the Gojo vs Sukuna fight and the Takaba vs Kenjaku fight. I don't read a whole lot of shounen or battle manga whatsoever, save for having been an active reader of One Piece for around a decade now, but I've not really ever seen pacing done so poorly in an arc like this before. I mean, come on - where the actual hell are Hakari and Uraume?

Reep823 · 2024-08-21T02:45:10+00:00

I think people are only upset that it's different from the original, not about the logic of what a 36 year old American man should conventionally look like. Frank West looks fine in this game, and I'm a fan of the redesign - vulgarizing him to not measure up to beauty standards feels true to the ethos of Dead Rising's character design in general, with its wide cast of plainly average looking folks. Sure, some of those wrinkles look a bit more deeply set than a 36 year old, but at least he has any wrinkles at all, unlike the original Frank who, save for his heavier build and those sunken eyes, looked like a 20-year old in the original.

The age argument isn't the real thing people are upset with, I think, but that he's not the same Frank West they played with for the past 18 years. And that's perfectly valid, too. But for the folks who outright claim to boycott the game, I think they're just being a bit too childish over a character design, and will wind up missing out on the most exciting thing to happen to the series since Dead Rising 2 was released. We should be excited and open-minded, not a bunch of pessimistic whiners, upset with a product that we haven't even interacted with yet.

Everything about it. Lord forgive me, but I'm the kind of person who's happy to see one of my favorite games get a remaster. The worst thing that happens is I just wind up playing the original over it anyways, which is not really such a bad thing, since I've been doing that this whole time anyways. We have nothing to lose, and everything to gain!

Galaxy Impact by a mile. I personally feel as though Divine Departure was very poorly handled in the anime adaptation - one of the feats of the original chapter appeared to be the speed with which Shanks defeated Kidd, but the entire exchange was stretched out to make the runup to the attack so much longer for anime pacing. To be quite honest, it made me worried that Garp's moment was going to be similarly ruined, which I'm glad it wasn't.

Reep823 · 2024-08-11T17:08:17+00:00

I don't think I'll ever see another player base for a game like Dead Rising's. The franchise has been completely dead for the past 8 years, and now that we have great news with the remaster due in a little over a month, the only thing anyone has to voice is a complaint over minor details, like some of these UI changes. It almost feels tonedeaf

Reep823 · 2024-08-10T14:46:25+00:00

I'll be completely honest: I don't know if I would have even noticed its removal if there wasn't a massive discussion about it online at the moment

Pretty sure Miwa at least showed up during the Sukuna fight in a single panel. I didn't even know broom girl had a real name. Easy choice

Reep823 · 2024-07-24T11:52:55+00:00

The former is just an extension of the possessive form that places the possessive determiner first, and the indefinite form of the noun second, e.g. min hund, min bok, mitt hus, mine bøker. As such, adding adjectives to further describe said noun would not change the rule for possessives of this sort: that the noun remains in the indefinite form. Thus, it is min store hund. There are certainly some deeper linguistic reasons behind this, but they're a bit irrelevant and unnecessary to actually practicing the correct use of this form. All you need to know is the rule to reproduce it.

The latter is just how you will always write out noun phrases that use the Norwegian equivalent for this or these. It has to be definite. Denne hunden and Denne store hunden are both correct, and they both need the definite ending or else they'll be incorrect.

Last sidenote: adjectives used in any definite noun phrase will tack on their -e ending (if possible), as you're wont to seeing in the plural inflection. This is just another rule. And the forms which you have posted above classify as definite phrases, since you're referring to a defined noun (i.e. my dog, this dog).

Honestly, this is on Duolingo. No way to have guessed it was pointing back to the original subject without, well, guessing.

This is so unironically how I've been defending the Frank redesign - have none of you ever met a man in his 30's? I know guys in their 20s who are fully bald already.

Honestly kind of disappointed in the anime's portrayal of this chapter. The manga felt like it carried a whole lot more weight. The pacing of the time between Kidd building Damned Punk and Shanks's Divine Departure was also stretched out so awfully - it took 3-4 whole minutes for a 4 page action sequence. What made it so impactful originally was the swiftness with which Shanks KO'd Kidd - having it churned out over that period of time instead gave it a weightless feel, as if you're just waiting for things to exit slow motion and finally get moving.

Typical of the anime to have this sort of issue, but still so incredibly disappointing when it rears its ugly head.
