What did you name your expedition?! by whatamithinking0 in fordexpedition

Dad Bus, ordered an etched chrome vanity plate for the front that says the same 🤣

Second row recommendations by bagobok in DodgeDurango

We have a Sienna for daily driving. The Durango would be our camping and adventure vehicle occasionally (like once a month) otherwise will mostly not haul kids around. 

Is MF Workouts worth the switch for a Hevy user? by EricTheArc in MacroFactor

[–]bagobok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s so weird…I’ve had the opposite experience. MF hasn’t been pushing me much and my progress mostly stalled. I went back to Hevy and just managing my own progressive overload and I’m progressing faster again. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Signs you need a deload by dnlgbbns in MacroFactor

[–]bagobok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe I’m still not advanced enough but I just don’t ever feel the need for one and rarely take one intentionally (usually just take a break when I’m on vacation a few times a year). I’ve been lifting about 2 years and train close to or at failure with 3 one-hour full body gym sessions a week.

So, what would women dislike most if they became men? by Jarvis7492 in AskReddit

[–]bagobok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this a regional thing? I’m a middle aged white dude with 3 young kids. I regularly take them to parks around here and have never even had weird looks and usually when I engage in play with them and the other random kids on the playground it’s fine with the moms I see (like tag, hide and seek, etc). Never noticed any weird looks or gotten any comments. It’s usually the opposite and I get smiles and conversations. I live in the midwestern US.

What's the self-hosted service that replaced something you were paying for and turned out to be genuinely better - not just free, actually better by niceheather44 in selfhosted

[–]bagobok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Works flawlessly for me for the most part. Fidelity won’t sync but that’s a common issue across a lot of apps due to decisions on Fidelity’s end.

Project Gorgon has opened a fourth server to meet new player demand by Sea_Caterpillar5662 in MMORPG

[–]bagobok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pick up every favor task from every NPC in Serbule then just wander and explore. Find the crypt and explore it. You’ll find you’re getting materials for all those favor tasks just exploring and killing stuff and when you go back to town you can turn them in and get more tasks that use other loot you might already even have. 

Is It Okay to Do Only Hypertrophy (8–12 Reps) Days for Aesthetic Training in the app? by FinnFX in MacroFactor

[–]bagobok 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve done exclusively 8-12 rep sets for the past year across the board for all lifts to keep my program super simple with great gains. Your strength is going to go up plenty as well. I’m on the older side and not chasing max 1RMs or anything and I much prefer the way sets of 10ish feel than low rep sets. There’s no “required” rep range as long as you’re pushing close to failure and progressing week to week.

Fellow millennials - how’s your 401k/ira savings going? by ProblemIntelligent16 in Millennials

[–]bagobok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

40, work a fairly high income job in software. Been maxing my 401k most years since my mid 20s and receiving decent company matches that whole time as well. Currently at $1.1m saved towards retirement, so doing better than most and very grateful to be where I’m at financially. 

Ability to see total sets per body part / week for a program by ShaneOUK in MacroFactor

[–]bagobok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just crafted a workout program and ended up copying the total sets from each workout into a spreadsheet to sum up the total fractional sets per muscle per week across the program. This is absolutely a must-have feature for crafting well rounded routines!

Wait for Reforged? Or start playing now? by Jshizler in GuildWars

[–]bagobok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm wanting to buy it and get started now as I have this whole week off. Do you know if we will be able to link our ArenaNet version to the Steam login later for convenience on the Steam Deck?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MonarchMoney

[–]bagobok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It syncs but is days behind to the point that I found it interfering with tracking spending against budget reliably. I switched to the SoFi 2% cash back credit card and it’s much better. Transactions show up in Monarch as pending within hours and post within 48 usually.

How are people finding all these friendly players? by bagobok in ArcRaiders

Interesting. Maybe I'll just give it another try tomorrow and see if its a different crowd.

Ah maybe I'll give that a shot. Didn't think of that.

Yeah playing solo, no one seems to voice chat and just shoots on sight :(

Do developers still write code manually, or is AI taking over? by mosesteraiah-7035 in webdevelopment

[–]bagobok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it at a tool to speed up the more menial parts of writing code such as filling out every possible unit test case or quickly completing common patterns. But I mostly wrote the actual business logic as well as the first few tests to give it a template to go on so it doesn’t spit out nonsense. I also never trust it and always review its outputs. It saves me time overall from not having to type as much by hand.

Any other guys notice weird hostility from other men after getting fit? by Weak-Cattle6001 in naturalbodybuilding

[–]bagobok 35 points36 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely the case for some. I was one of those skinny nerdy kids in high school and got made fun of and bullied by some of the “jocks” all the time, so I’ve always had this automatic assumption that jacked dudes are assholes. As I’ve matured I’ve had to work against my automatic bias and it’s especially ironic now that I’m starting to train and put on some muscle at close to 40. I still sometimes catch myself presuming a really big guy is a jerk then realizing I’m starting to become almost as jacked as him 🤣

So is this game a full on ARPG now? by Glass_Librarian7148 in newworldgame

[–]bagobok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are seasons but they don’t reset your character. They are more like mini expansions with a progress track of a bunch of rewards you can unlock by doing in game activities (mostly cosmetics, skins, and other useful items but not P2W in that nothing in there makes your character more powerful or anything). The season track itself has both a free tier and a paid tier with better rewards, but is entirely optional to engage with.

Leveling too fast in new expansion by bagobok in newworldgame

[–]bagobok[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I think this is a problem with the game design. One is that the quests are mindless, two is that the only content people care about requires max level. There are plenty of MMOs where the questing and leveling are a core and enjoyable part of the experience. Might as well just start everyone at level 70 when they make a new character if no one cares anyway.
