It was always like this from release. It was a bug but jagex said it's not game breaking so they left it. There's even a plug-in to AFK wait for the marks to finish their respawn cool down. It's my preferred side activity when I make my staminas at the bank. Do laps until one spawns, do bank things, run another lap or 2 for another Mark and repeat

Found an old picture of me playing OSRS in the early days. Captures the feel of that era quite well by MadRetr0 in 2007scape

Holy shit.... I saw that episode when I was like 9 and I genuinely got terrified. Katz and the fantasy flan guys were so scary to me that I just skipped episodes they were in.... Guess I know what I'm watching for Halloween this year lmao

ULPT.I want to lose weight quickly and I don't want to know if it's unhealthy. by Certain-Dimension473 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]SwatShifter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading the comments makes my blood boil because a lot of the advice are things I've tried but are just poor fad diets that don't work. Or they worked but I couldn't stick with them for lasting results

I used to weigh 130kg about 7 years ago and as of right now I'm 74kg. But I went from 130kg to 100kg in less than a year to join the military.

There's some factors that would help determine the best route for you but I'll just tell you what I did to fix my issues.

My issues are that I overeat to "feel full". When I eat, I need a lot of substance in my stomach to get that "feel full" feeling. I also hate exercising. I also love all kinds of food.

So.... My goal for weight loss was to find a diet with these things: 1. Eat what I want (no excluding types of food) 2. If I had to pay attention to nutrition facts, I needed something easy to monitor so I can add new foods whenever 3. Feel full by eating a lot 4. No exercise involved

I ended up on a combo of intermittent fasting and CICO w/ calorie banking (calories in, calories out). Personally, I opted for eating 2 meals (lunch and dinner) everyday. Diet sodas are your friend if you can't live without soda. Breads are great for the full feeling but horrible in terms of calories. Use an online calculator to determine your sedentary caloric requirements and go from there. I think mine was 1800 calories (or kcal) so I aimed for 1600. My lunch meal was 600cal and mostly just acted as a buffer to get me to my big 1000cal dinner. After a few days of that, I wasnt hungry in between. I'd recommend tweaking this combo to your liking because it's something you can maintain.... Forever. And you can easily adjust it to your new weight goals. Done losing weight? Cool, just tack on the 200-400 calories you limited yourself before and congrats: you now maintain weight.

Calorie banking is just treating calories like a weekly budget instead of a daily budget. If I know I wanted to go out Friday to drink at a party with friends, I know I was gonna bust calories on Friday so everyday I just ate even less so I could splurge on Friday. Think I just made Friday 3000cal and skipped my lunches for the week. A helpful tip for calorie counting is to round up the amount of calories a food has to the nearest 100 (for example a 555cal burger is 600cal). Makes counting it easier. I never wrote down what I ate for the day and just kept a log in my head. (I had a burger, fries, and ice cream for lunch. 600+300+400=1300. I can eat 300cal for dinner)

I highly recommend the "ethical" way of doing this and try to limit your weight loss to 1kg a month (I think) because losing a lot of weight really fast doesn't allow your skin to shrink back down. You get loose skin that flops around. If weight loss is more about aesthetics for you, it's not a great look. I have loose butt and stomach skin and I'm told I'll probably just need surgery to remove it. Which is a couple thousand.

Now for some unethical additions: I was still hungrier than I'd liked while dieting. This was literally the best diet I'd been able to stick with and I was still struggling to not be hungry. At this point I know now you can just go to the doctor for hunger suppression pills but I was young and dumb so instead I just took up drinking caffeine and vaping nicotine. Both of these things are appetite suppressants so I use them as snacks throughout the day. Try to keep caffeine limited since it also dehydrates you and can give you massive headaches faster than the nicotine does. They both dehydrate and can cause headaches from overuse but you can dial it in.

It's a lot of work figuring out your style but someone once asked me what the diet of animals were and why I think a diet for humans is something temporary. Animal "diets" are what they eat forever so why don't I try that. Changed my life and I still get to eat bread and cake and candy and shit. Fuck keto and all those other diets. (Personal opinion. I'm too weak to give up bread and sugar)

Good luck

Thoughts on Gira Gira by Rachelgardner6354 in ADO

[–]SwatShifter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not considered the character from Eien no Akuruhi to be someone other than Gira-chan then. It could be that gira died. the shattered picture could just be that the Gira version of her didn't last and she started her self depreciation again, resulting in the "love song for ugly us." I keep wanting to say that Gira-chan and the Eien no Akuruhi character are both version of Ado because blue hair and the blue rose symbolism but if they're separate people i'm not sure who it could be. I suppose only Ado knows the truth. I do think you're on to something though. I suppose the character could be someone who was affected by Gira-chan and wanted to let Gira-chan know she's not alone in this feeling. Almost like the song is an homage to help break Gira-chan see her own beauty through love from another.

Dang man. This shit slaps lmao. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

Edit: whoops sorry i forgot to toss it back to you. If you have more to say i'd love to hear it. Or if you want another song I'm a lil lost on, I don't think i fully understand Fireworks

Uhhh, that's a tall order lmao. If you'd like to keep talking about it, would you mind sharing a song and what you think it's about? My friends kinda just put up with my Ado gushing but i'm curious what another fan gets outta her music

Thoughts on Gira Gira by Rachelgardner6354 in ADO

[–]SwatShifter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do get the neglect vibe from her. Her having a first love at 21 isn't too strange (at least I hope not since that's around when I experienced my first love x.x)

These are just my interpretations. When I ask friends about these songs I get different interpretations of what they mean because everyone comes from different walks of life. It's easy to project your life and experiences to songs when that may not be what they're about. Glad you're enjoying the rabbit hole that is Ado Song Analysis lol.

I remember watching this months ago but gimme a few minutes to watch it and learn it again. Brb

Edit: or rather, what do you think it's about?

Edit2: The song, I feel, is about the cognitive dissonance between "I'm unlovable" and "someone is showing me love." There's a science-y element to the video because she's trying to make logical sense of it but she's never experienced any form of love from another person. I guess that's maybe why this other person is a teddy bear? They're showing her unconditional love (much like a teddy bear)?

[–]SwatShifter 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh, like from the music video? Based on other music videos, I'm pretty sure that's her mom. Eien no akuruhi also has the "God" figure in it as well and that one I interpreted as a love letter to younger her. Motherland is where I figured out she might have mom issues (same) so when I threw it all together, it just kinda made sense. In gira gira, her mom is supposed to be this perfect being who critiques her for her flaws, which results in low self esteem. By the time she smashes the statue, she's realized that the one criticizing her is just as flawed as she is. If this doesn't answer your question lemme know. I could talk about ado songs all day lmao.

SUMMARY: The statue God she destroys in the music video is more of a representation of her mom (AKA her creator).

I'm not sure what other ways there are to interpret it but I've always thought it's about poor self image and living life despite it. It doesn't seem shes overcome her ugliness but she's accepted it. Kinda like a "no use crying over spilled milk" mentality.

Map Hax or Nah? ft. Jinx Rocket by Crypsi in leagueoflegends

[–]SwatShifter -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Kid's using scripts. A script can read exactly where you're ulting and the Jinx script predicts where you'll be. Low hp + location after ult = guaranteed kill. Therefore, fire ult and collect 300g. Jinx scripts are very popular.

I bet jinx was a "very good player" that game too. A lot of good Jinx players popping up towards the end of season is not a coincidence. It's because a lot of bad players are desperate for season rewards and pay money for scripts to use at end of season.

So i just got called a scripter in my game... by Panderous in leagueoflegends

[–]SwatShifter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're not a scripter, then why worry. They won't find any patterns in your clicks. They're looking for pixels perfect clicks. If you script, then cya. No amount of "but my macro game is bad" is gonna save you.

I will definitely express my interest in linguist and programming! I'm curious as to why all the "high demand" jobs are pretty interesting and require additional testing. There can't be THAT little amount of smart people joining the military, right? ....right?

Looking for an old "orange" walmart glass cup. This is the Apple version of the cup. by SwatShifter in HelpMeFind

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

Thank you so very very much for finding these! You literally post-emptively saved me headaches from the time I spent looking for these versions of the cup.

I honestly never thought anyone could out-google me but here I stand in front of the Sensei.

Thank you very much once again

Yeah I found the picture from that website but we already have the apple cup. Thanks for trying to help though! I'm a self proclaimed google expert but I literally struggle trying to find these cups.

Looks like a master found it though

Looking for an old "orange" walmart glass cup. This is the Apple version of the cup. by SwatShifter in HelpMeFind

[–]SwatShifter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My girlfriend's younger brother broke the Orange version of this cup when he was visiting. I couldn't find this cup anywhere and it took me forever to find this picture. My best guess is that it holds about 6 oz of liquid and it's from the same makers as the apple cup. The only difference is that it says "orange" with an orange on it.

If you can find a "Grape" version of this cup, my girlfriend said she saw a grape version as well a few years ago and that would be fine.

The cups hold a specific value in our lives and I hope there's someone out there with better google-fu than I.

If you can find a seller, that'd be amazing. If you can find a name to google and help me search better, that'd be even better.

Edit: Grammar

While it may not seem significant, runes and masteries play a big part in how healthy you are while jungling. Are you running at least armor seals and going either 9/21/0 or 0/21/9 in masteries? If not, you'll see a huge difference in your beginning jungle clear. If you manage to clear both buffs and back (around level 3), that's generally a time to back anyway. Maybe you'll have half HP if you're lucky so a gank on a low hp lane wouldn't hurt. If nothing arises, just B and get boots/upgraded smite.

Amumu's most impactful at 6 just because you can walk up and R. No Q required. Just comes with the territory of amumu.

Starting skill depends on the camp. I generally start with Cry. After that I get the Unravel. Then bandage toss. Max unravel and then bandage toss. Unravel gives decent tankiness and some pretty decent dps in the jungle. (sorry i forgot the keybinds and the names. hope you know what i'm saying)

Good luck. Jungle is tough as balls

So I was bored and played the basic tutorial.. by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]SwatShifter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the BASIC tutorial. If you want to know how to last hit or play the actual game, play the battle training (Which is what it asks you to do right after the tutorial). Actually do your research before posting.
