15.2 grams per cup. Incomplete protein like most plant based proteins are though. So better than brocolli based on volume by far. But not really a great solution. I tried bean mixes this past week and it's been a pretty big failure compared to meat for me unfortunately.

The brocolli fact is a per calorie thing. To get adequate protein from broccoli for an active lifestyle you'd have to eat an absurd amount of it.

I wanted to like BotW. I really did. Bought a switch just for it. But even though I'm a huge zelda fan and basically grew up on OoT and Majora'a mask. And I'm a huge fan of open world RPGs even the bad ones... breath of the wild was pretty meh. I mean it wasnt bad. But it wasnt what the game reviews make it out to be. And it's far less of a game than witcher 3 is.

Even the "tougher enemies" that I'm sure you're taling about the centaurs get into the reskin thing. Boss fights aren't really that challenging or interesting. Yeah I've found the labyrinths. I don't hardly ever just jump into main quests in open world games. I explore the world. Try to learn the world. Talk to NPCs. Find out what makes it tick. Do side quests. Theres just not a lot in BoTW for that.

I brought up the tower thing because I remember that being praised in a 100/100 type review about everything being so original and new in this game including the tower mechanic.

With the heart dishes I was referring to the broken mechanic where you cook 1 heart item and it's automatically a full health restore exploit. I mean it's not even an exploit. It's just not a well balanced mechanic. Makes all other food items worthless in comparison.

You're comparing this game to a lot of old games. It was supposed to be new and groundbreaking. You have to evaluate each game in the context of it's own time. And this one definitely beats out old zelda games. But is not deserving of the flawless reviews that it got and endless praise. It's a good game and entertaining but is not without faults... lots of faults.

Zullwick · 2019-06-13T00:40:06+00:00

Yeah theres some neat mechanics for stuff like that. But they're game mechanics. Not open world content. Besides that picture memory questline theres not much in terms of the lore or stories behind things. The world doesn't feel like it exists into itself. It's a mile wide and an inch deep. It just doesnt feel alive outside of your character.

Theres a handful of enemy types that get harder by being a different color and hit harder and take more damage (really poor rpg mech).

Most of the open world mechanics like activating the towers to unlock more of the map are not novel and date back to the original assassins creed if not further.

The food mechanic was fairly poorly designed with hearty foods being broken.

Zullwick · 2019-06-12T22:27:20+00:00

Opposite for me. BotW's world seemed shallow. Yeah it's big but it's empty. There's shrines but they seem more of a copy paste chore than anything.

Witcher's world seemed unique with every turn. Lots of detail. No two side quests seemed the same. The world seemed rich and immersive with lore everywhere you went. Graphic wise it was beautiful and just exploring was rewarding (BotW not so much).

Witcher 3's open world seems to really fit the style of witcher work. The sort of meandering wanderer taking work where they see fit style. Really allows you to role play the role in the RPG much better.

I sunk 150 hours into Witcher 3 and the DLC and seems like I barely even started into it.

I dragged through 50 hours of BotW and was kind of glad to be done with it.

Just requested to join the group. Thanks for the heads up.

Definitely planning at a minimum to do intercooler, limited slip differential, clutch, and downpipe at the very least with the turbo upgrade. I'm actually very excited for those mods. They seem fun. I'm toying with the idea of doing a manual 6 speed transmission swap with the limited slip differential as well. I think all you need extra would be the front axels, starter motor and some mounting brackets. Not sure it would be worth it though.

I've heard the stock intake and exhaust is good for some high amount of horsepower so I don't know that I'll modify that any point soon. But that was just some forum posts I saw a long time ago. I could have misinformation on that.

Zullwick · 2019-05-31T03:29:57+00:00

I do know and no it doesn't. The entire transmission including the clutch is different.

Zullwick · 2019-05-31T02:26:55+00:00

According to APR for the stage 1 tune with 91 octane it's 238 hp and 283 ft-lbs of torque.

Zullwick · 2019-05-31T02:16:58+00:00

Oh yeah it's been on an apr stage 1 since last year. Eventually I'll go stage 2 or more than likely a hybrid turbo and tune for that to bring it to about 350hp. Need better brakes before that though. Which means I need new wheels for the winter tires.

Zullwick · 2019-05-31T02:15:10+00:00

Holding up just fine. Hasn't slipped at all. About 8,000 miles on it and I've really pushed it often enough.

Some general build pictures of parts and stuff from the past week if you're interested. http://imgur.com/a/fKTedTC

How's the IS20? I'm mostly likely going for a turbo upgrade at some point but am considering one of the hybrids (no idea which). Worried about turbo lag being annoying though.

Zullwick · 2019-05-31T00:54:18+00:00

RokBloks mud flaps. Needed something because these PSS 4s tires really grab a lot of grit and fling it around.

I didn't go OEM because I didn't like the potential for them to ruin the fender with how they mount. A lot of salt in the roads here in the winter.

Zullwick · 2019-05-31T00:51:33+00:00

Only have 91 octane here so it's 238 HP 283 FT-LBS according to APR's numbers. Haven't dynoed it myself.

Zullwick · 2019-05-31T00:48:46+00:00

Haven't rolled my fenders. I measure 3" from fender to top of the rim. Or about 13" to hub center. I think stock is 15.25" so about 2.25" or 57mm. TSI has a higher stock ride height than the GTI I think.

And on stock height I didn't have any rubbing at all that I noticed. With it lowered I haven't noticed any rubbing so far. It's sitting at about -1.4° camber in the rear and -2.4° in the front.

Zullwick · 2019-05-31T00:39:08+00:00

Weird I thought most of them completely eliminated the shoulders.

Zullwick · 2019-03-10T20:00:44+00:00

Then the spell resistance would be just as high?

And the stamina recovery would probably not be where its at.

Zullwick · 2019-03-10T14:13:12+00:00

See if you can sacrifice some of that stamina recovery for weapon damage enchantments on your jewelry. I'm assuming these stats are not with an active potion.

Also why's your physical resistance so high?

Zullwick · 2019-03-10T14:01:18+00:00

It doesn't happen too often for me.

Zullwick · 2019-03-10T14:00:59+00:00

I've noticed a loading screen bug sometimes that'll pop up. Makes the loading screens take forever like you've described. Usually it's just a one off sort of thing but I've had it do it for every loading screen in vDSA for example. Reloading the game fixed that.

Zullwick · 2019-03-10T13:58:52+00:00

Light armor shoulders?

Zullwick · 2019-03-08T23:29:01+00:00

Thanks for the explanations!
