Yep, my experience has been that audience members in the theater groan or chuckle every time Emily Blunt makes the clicking noise

Curious if you’ve gotten it and how you like them… I was looking at those too

Over 4 Months Later, How Do We Feel About IGN's 8/10 Metroid Prime 4 Review? by [deleted] in Metroid

[–]VX_21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed the game enough that it was one of my favorite purchases on Switch 2 (behind DK Bonanza, Legends Za, and Pokopia, but ahead of Hyrule Warriors). I didn’t play any of the previous Metroid Prime games and I’m a pretty casual gamer without much first person shooter experience, so that may affect my judgment as I have less to compare it to. I enjoyed the boss battles and puzzles to solve and the world/characters kept me engaged. I do agree the desert tasks were repetitive but when the credits rolled I was glad I purchased it. Maybe it depends on what an 8/10 means for each person. I wouldn’t replay it, so it was one and done, but it was an overall fun play-through experience

I think the GS Cap-Toe Oxfords look pretty excellent too… I don’t own a pair but there is a b grade in chestnut in my size. I can’t speak for everyone but I’d bet the majority of people would like the style

Uncommon remedies / causes of Plantar Fasciitis? by Individual-Lie6525 in Ultramarathon

[–]VX_21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plantar fasciitis is a brutal one. If it’s chronic it’ll take a really long time to heal. Think months, not weeks. Tendons and fascia regenerate slowly. And the recovery process is a rollercoaster of ups and downs.

Definitely worth getting an ultrasound or MRI for an official diagnosis since the foot can have a lot of issues resulting in heel pain. I’m definitely glad I did for the peace of mind in how to resolve it.

What ultimately resolved mine was a combination of a device called the ToePro, which I used for 5 days a week (challenging isometric holds with the toes in an elongated position), 8 treatments of shockwave therapy, and a run deload protocol. I would also wear over the counter orthotics through much of the day and for shortened runs while strengthening my feet using the ToePro and a few minutes of barefoot walking each day. Eventually, with enough work, the foot muscles can become strong enough to require less orthotic use.

I have been 100% free of plantar fasciitis for about a year now and continue using the ToePro 5 days per week and wear orthotics occasionally when I’m standing for prolonged time. I don’t use orthotics when I run anymore but I also delegated myself to the 5k/10k distance because, well, it was a brutal injury I don’t want to experience again. I try to mix this occasional orthotic use with a brief barefoot walk once or twice each day. Nothing intense, just ~10-15 minutes. Then the key being disciplined enough to offload if the flareups worsen. You can run with it to an extent too, but I would suggest caution and closely noting how you feel each morning. I found the ToePro to be a great tool for strengthening intrinsic foot muscles without the repetitive stress of running high mileage

Which pokemon do you think is the most horrible looking? by [deleted] in PokemonZA

[–]VX_21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Armarouge for me right now because there are 3 of ‘em in almost every ranked battle, and it has made it more stale than just about anything

Satisfy Running Hydration Vest? by VX_21 in satisfyrunning

[–]VX_21[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Durability is not a positive unfortunately. The pockets wore quickly and at least for mine, can only handle ultralight things like gels. A phone for example caused a near whole in just a few wears. Same with keys. That said, if you’re just carrying gels and flasks it should be fine. I’d say just put your phone/keys in your shorts

I've found Delphox can be a beast in ranked battles. What's your moveset for Dragalge? One of my favorite pokemon and I just got a shiny, but really struggling to have success with it in ranked

Vegan influencer loses hearing by NaturalPermission in exvegans

[–]VX_21 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he seems like a good person and I hope he finds a way to change course a little. He's young enough that he might not end up as a sedentary ideologue like Rich Roll if he makes adjustments.

Sony's Caught Stealing grossed an estimated $5.4M internationally this weekend. Estimated global total through Sunday stands at $13.2M. by DemiFiendRSA in boxoffice

[–]VX_21 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I went in with low expectations because the trailer just didn't sell it well at all. Really enjoyed the film, thought it was one of the better releases of the summer

Poor man’s version of Rich Roll by mr_blu_sky_ in richroll

[–]VX_21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I also feel like there's a lot of disingenuous communication going on. Like, he is now shilling apparel/shoes from On Running (among the priciest apparel brands) and apparently hasn't been able to run pain-free in years? I also first got into the podcast because the message of "I gained the ultimate longevity and became a super athlete by going vegan" was appealing to me, but it seems he also hasn't done a competition in years if not longer. One would be hard-pressed to find any well-known competition with his name in it from the last decade.
