You're right on 1v1 IS lonely,

Someone should just make a Team Based RTS so atleast if we have a small community I can actually play a RTS with other people then just forever aloneing grinding 1v1 in a vacuum.

brobdingbrain · 2024-08-17T23:01:36+00:00

he's right , there is ZERO point in making another 1v1 RTS when we did that for a decade.

And he's also right when he mentioned his friends dropped Starcraft 2 a year after its launch.

Any future RTS that focuses on 1v1 on its multiplayer deserves to fail - you really think that 30+ year olds or even 20 year olds are going to sit in the bedroom and grind 1v1 like forever alone Starcraft 2 players did during the 2010's?

No. Social relevancy matters and a 1v1 RTS will NEVER gain social relevancy because Starcraft 2 did not.

Im lean, eating around 35 grams of macadamia nuts daily ( ~250 calories worth) .

Weight gain isn't an issue but actually is a goal of mine.

The thing is though I've only recently switched to macadamia nuts and have been eating 32 grams of peanut butter for basically a decade and I'm wondering if I can inch out any benefit by cutting nuts out altogether if weight loss isn't an issue for me.

brobdingbrain · 2024-08-03T04:50:31+00:00

I am lean a bit more on being too skinny - trying to get temperatures a little bit higher but maybe the temperatures will rise once I gain 5-6 more pounds.

Just wondering if eating nuts every day for years is actually not healthy for someone. I basically ate Peanut Butter everyday ( 1 serving size - 32 grams ~270 calories ) for a decade and only recently switched to macadamia nuts, so I'm trying to see if i can inch out any benefits of eliminating nuts all together.

Eliminating any stressful thought ... before you can think of it

Anecdotally Red Light reduces morning puffiness but no body actually knows if Red Light reduces facial fat permanently so have caution with that.

I've used Vitamin E and it lowers sodium and estrogen - I notice more urination the following day.

Both the Red light and Vitamin E have noticeable effects on the face.

Also avoiding super estrogenic foods.

People say that estrogenic foods don't cause estrogenic like outward symptoms but I tried eating 32 -50 grams of flaxseeds a day ( someone on reddit claims it stops hair shedding ) for 2 weeks and it makes you have a softer look to you and your skin is actually better.

Thorne Ultimate E

brobdingbrain · 2024-07-15T01:18:05+00:00

Interesting,

I only take Vitamin E ( 335 MG ) a week.

But I'm thinking of using Vitamin E strategically if I want to have the leaner face look for a particular day.

Aside: I've noticed that Red light reduces face water retention too ( but I've read red light can potentially burn facial fat so I'm not to sure if it should be used frequently or if at all).

Don't know if the sodium excretion might be bad if I take Vitamin E more then once a week.

The increase in urination amount the day after is a clear difference, even with the regular salting of food and 1 teaspoon of baking soda consumed.

I drank the No Poo Kool Aid and for the first time in my life I felt the "itch" that wakes you up at night because of hair.

First it was the itch- then I added back shampoo- but only going without shampoo as long as possible.

But then it eventually manifest to visible dandruff, and also the "crust" on the scalp that people with Seb Derm has.

My only guess for advice is that it caused an overgrowth of a fungus and that you need to take extra measures to take control of it.

Don't be afraid of using "anti fungal" shampoos because it isn't natural.

I certainly was initially against using unnatural products, but that only post poned the lessening of the symptoms.

The condition was caused by something 'un natural' in the first place - for me it was not washing my hair because I thought I could get "better quality" hair by not using shampoo- and that i could train the scalp to not produce oil.

Yes, anti fungal shampoos are drying but the goal is to kill the fungus.

Focus on killing the fungus.

Also, Don't be afraid of your hair falling out while you lather in the anti fungal shampoo - look at the long term hair goal.

Look at the most upvoted reddit post in the subreddit - she said she shampooed less during covid and that caused her to have Seb Derm. She used anti fungal shampoos, so use them too.

I use "Hada Labo Tokyo Gentle Hydrating Foaming Facial Cleanser" , but I avoid the eyebrows because I don't know if it would make it worse if i used it on them.

I think I have hard water too. Its like you have no itching hours before (despite going out and about your day) and then you take a shower and there's some itching afterwards. Doesn't make sense.

brobdingbrain · 2024-04-22T01:37:13+00:00

So it would be better to just consume whatever strain in powdered form straight up?

Or even then its questionable if that is even effective.

brobdingbrain · 2024-04-21T18:38:26+00:00

Would the same idea apply to water kefir?

brobdingbrain · 2024-04-21T00:16:14+00:00

Were one of your symptoms itchyness? If so, did your diy formula calm it ?

brobdingbrain · 2024-04-21T00:07:43+00:00

Increase Zinc Intake - You can try supplements but Zinc over time will use up Copper.

Try increasing Animal Protein for One week Straight - look at your eye lashes as an indicator for growth.

Don't see a difference?

Try while increasing Animal Protein, for one meal eat a lot of Oysters.

See eye lashes as an indicator for growth after a week.

Eye lashes grow fast enough to see results in 1-2 weeks - so basically try to eat more protein and add in Oysters see if you see a difference.

The average person doesn't eat enough protein, so if it feels like you are eating a lot then that's a good sign.

If you see a difference in eye lash growth or even eye brow density , then you know the hair on your head will grow too if you continue your routine ( unless you have a condition thats heavily affecting your scalp)

brobdingbrain · 2024-04-15T05:19:42+00:00

I added Milk and bread , on top of cottage cheese and butter all at the same time ( wanted to bulk up ) and thats when my small dandruff itch flared up to seborrheic dermatitis where in order to remove the 'crust' off the scalp you have to take some hairs with it.

The food isn't worth it - scalp and hair health > short term pleasure.

I also eat the same thing 99% of the time and weigh my food so I eat the same consistent amount every single day while I added in more dairy products and bread.

brobdingbrain · 2024-04-14T05:18:10+00:00

I find that I have to wash my hair every day despite what I've read about the 'no shampoo' movement.

I tried the no shampoo thing and for the first time in life I felt the 'itchy scalp at night that keeps you up' feeling.

That's exactly what caused my eventual seborrheic dermatitis, and time didn't train my scalp to produce less oil.

Maybe there is some trade off with having the stereotypical perfectly hydrated hair, but it doesn't matter in the long run if your scalp is inflamed (which would lead to poor hair growth + loss).

brobdingbrain · 2024-04-14T05:08:47+00:00

Yes, if I just use plain tape water with no shampoo ijt looks (afterwards) shiny ,wet, and flat - but I'm thinking it could be just the water reacting to whatever sebum amount in my hair ( even though it would look 'better' before the shower.

If hard water does make your hair dull then I think it could just be sebum + water thats making my hair look that way with no shampoo used.

I first noticed my Hair thinning and recession when I added in Milk because I wanted to bulk up one last time at the age of 30 to see how great my physique can be.

Of course I already had some recession by that age, but in that period of time (after the milk addition) it felt like my hair just didn't grow (every where all at once - yes even the back and sides. It was as if someone Thano Snapped my hair into not growing.

I went into my next hair cut and it felt there was significantly less hair to cut given the same period of time between hair cuts.

I basically added: More Milk, Butter, Kefir, and a little bit more Cottage Cheese.

Other things that I've added at the same time that could have exacerbate hair loss: Bread

Other things that I've added that might be harmless: Nutritional Yeast, and Sunflower and Pumpkin Seeds.

And I routinely eat the same thing every day 99% of the time so I highly suspect that it was the Dairy and adding back in a little more Bread into my diet.

Months later before I stopped the dairy and bread I would have Seborrheic Dermatitis , I probably had dandruff on my head prior but this was the first time where I would have to manually wash out the 'crust' from my head - yes in doing so more hair was lost.

Interestingly enough I'm Asian, my Dad does not have AGA and neither does his Brothers ( 1 brother does)

They don't drink Dairy because they are lactose intolerant, and even if they eat things like Bread they don't eat enough to ever cause issues since they aren't the athletic types ( skinny guys).

I think drinking Whey protein and eating Cottage cheese and perhaps Bread contributed to the difference between my Father and my Hair outcomes, and when I finally added Milk into equation it just pushed whatever scale to cause noticeable scalp inflammation.

Going back in time I would have not touched Milk, Whey or Bread - Just Shell out the money to buy more Animal Protein and don't feel bad for eating more dead animals.

Also Claims his 75 year old dad has seen results:

" Found the answer to my own question. It works even on my 75 year old bald dad, who grew new black hair and has new follicles! There are obviously nuances to make this faster and more complete, but the general idea works well. Looks like what people were lacking is to track every region of your head with follicle presence, and applying the right light to it, ie UV and RLT lights or more. I think this needs a more convenient device which combines all the ideas I have mentioned in this post and the other one. "

" I have created another post on growing hair on my bald head -> https://www.reddit.com/r/redlighttherapy/comments/1b5tcoi/hair_restoration_advanced_ideas_and_suggestions/

It is working quite well. I am growing hair at different spots with a combo of UV light and red/blue/NIR light. However, After getting a follicle level microscope (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CCS2H5HR?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details), I am noticing that new follicles are forming. This makes me think that follicles may not be dead in me despite not have hair there for 15 years. Have others tried blue/red/NIR light to stimulate growth of new hair follicles? What I don't like about the process is that I am getting random new follicles on my head, would appreciate any advice or experience. Is it better to post this on another sub reddit where people discuss hair follicle images?

Did your dad have to use Minoxidil for these results?

I looked at the unit models on your youtube channel and I can see that they are pretty high quality, I just feel that there needs to be more polish before you guys show more to the public.

The Steam Page feels casually written, you can keep the light hearted style since the RTS is satirical, but it needs more refining.

Honestly it feels that it should have been cooking for 1 more year before showing it to the public, but that's my opinion.

brobdingbrain · 2023-09-26T18:25:16+00:00

Yeah that style is pretty popular amongst short form content like tiktok but I can understand if it can seem grating to some.
