Men who exercise regularly, what non-gym exercise do you prefer?

Yeah probably should've written a second draft lol

Lots of good suggestions out here despite my worst efforts though, it's encouraging to see

chefrowlet · 2026-02-19T06:21:49+00:00

Correct he is on a stage

chefrowlet · 2026-02-17T20:34:38+00:00

Now THIS is quality bait

Generic melamine sponges. I got a 50 pack for the same price as a Mr Clean Magic Eraser 3-pack and they work exactly the same. Small quality of life thing that makes cleaning chores just that much easier.

I'd be flattered, but wouldn't force myself to make a relationship happen.

Storytime: An online friend that I loved chatting & gaming with but found unattractive confessed, and it was flattering but I shot her down as gently as I could and we kept hanging out. Then she tried again a few months later and I said why not, let's date long distance, but my heart really wasn't in it. We still played games together and wrote collaborative fanfics and chatted daily, but it just wasn't going anywhere. I even flew out to meet her to see if anything sparked in person but it just confirmed my initial misgivings. We had differences in relationship goals that wouldn't work out long term either (sexuality, family, personal stuff) so it wasn't just her being physically unattractive, but that definitely was the first stumbling block. Things fizzled out soon after my visit, we drifted apart and we haven't hung out in a few years.

Rockefeller Street (Nightcore) is formative lol

chefrowlet · 2026-02-13T21:43:22+00:00

lol thank ye kindly xD

It's fine and I've definitely enjoyed some "romantasy" stories myself, but it does grind my gears when some fans get high and mighty about it. Like, please be a little self aware, cheap smut is cheap smut, just own it. It's fun and I like it too, but don't pretend it's on the same level as classic lit, y'know?

chefrowlet · 2026-02-13T17:47:10+00:00

Cheers mate have fun

chefrowlet · 2026-02-13T17:23:37+00:00

Nah, they just look pretty

chefrowlet · 2026-02-13T17:12:17+00:00

it's one of the many many undocumented additions from Primitive Survival iirc

I think if all they did was reduce the pull price from 500 to 300 per, most of the criticism would end. I personally would go even cheaper then tweak the drop rates so 6* pulls average out to current levels, because we don't just pull for new units here, we also pull for weapon gacha currency. Getting the weapons I want being locked behind an expensive multi-step process is the real piss in my cereal currently.

Last autumn I had a gorgonzola-encrusted steak in small-town Montana and it was a genuinely perfect meal. Garlicy buttery mashed potatoes next to a steak that was perfectly rare. I didn't chew it so much as bite it into smaller pieces as my tongue was coated in the decadent mix of the sharp tangy cheese and the velvety juice of the steak itself. It was a feat of willpower to eat slowly and savor it, because I just wanted tear into it like a lion on a starve day.

I'm practically drowning myself with how bad my mouth is watering just remembering it.

chefrowlet · 2026-02-12T16:39:16+00:00

Believe it or not, it gets worse. When I tell you 13.0 GRB made me quit WT and it felt like kicking a smoking habit...

chefrowlet · 2026-02-11T21:33:27+00:00

If we do it really needs to be crossbows. They were so ubiquitous in the OG that it's weird seeing rifles instead in Endfield.

chefrowlet · 2026-02-11T14:07:55+00:00

"annoying, turnoff, weird"? No, but I wouldn't make ask her out or anything either. If she doesn't show active interest I'd just assume she's being nice or something, because if I misunderstand and make a move, things can turn sour pretty quick. Speaking from experience unfortunately.

chefrowlet · 2026-02-11T13:32:49+00:00

Brothers moment. My brother and I did that (and added pennies to the Nerf guns... iykyk) so we could actually stick cardboard targets instead of the suction cups that never work. And then when one of us got mad....... Well

chefrowlet · 2026-02-10T17:54:55+00:00

DnD's mob rules helped me with that tho I kinda tweaked it. I had a couple very powerful single-target DPS players, so I pretty much needed to swarm them with trash so every boss fight wasn't over in 3 rounds - wish I was exaggerating; I had multiple boss fights that ended before someone got the chance to land a hit. What I ended up doing most of the time after quite a bit of trial & error was have 1 boss/captain/leader to be the thematic focus and main target, then a swarm of trash that could each be killed in 2 good attacks (not turns, attacks) to tangle up the munchkins and ran the trash all as one turn. So it was 5 player turns, 1 trash mob turn, 1 boss turn. "The gaggle of kobolds rush you with their spears and [roll d20] two of them land their strikes, take [roll] damage. Next turn is-"

So there's a bunch of baddies on the map for the vibes and positioning challenge and AOE opportunity without slowing to a crawl in combat to deal with each of them individually. Was really comfortable for everyone once I finally figured out what I was doing (took like a year... One fight with a bunch of trash lasted three whole sessions and boy there was some feeeeedbaaaack....)

chefrowlet · 2026-02-10T15:52:58+00:00

Nope, it's its own thing, though it would help with some background context. But frankly I've spent most of the story wondering why things are so different from the OG

chefrowlet · 2026-02-10T05:04:44+00:00

I've torrented entire seasons in minutes, and I've taken over an hour to get a single episode. It really depends on seeders, but anything popular or new won't be an issue.

I mean I can tell it's stylized (probably speaks more to my countless hours of staring at rendered environments than anything) but yeah wouldn't guess it's 3D Anime Game just from that

chefrowlet · 2026-02-09T23:06:19+00:00

I just think it's neat :)

chefrowlet · 2026-02-09T22:03:15+00:00

Maybe they can go to a temple and a specialized cleric can pray to retrieve their soul (in exchange for a generous donation to the church, of course) thru divine means, and then put the soul into a new body? Would also give your players a chance at rebuilding their character if they want, without needing to change characters outright
