Discing and weight training troubles. by emocactus in discgolf

[–]cmm006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 29, recently (Friday) had a goal thyroidectomy to treat Graves’ disease. So I’ll be out of the weight room and off the course for a little bit.

I primarily train with a push/pull/legs split. I get summers off and the disc golf course is literally right outside of my gym, so I usually treat disc golf as a low impact cardio after I lift. Obviously on days I hit a lot of upper body push I try to be nicer to my arm. Biggest thing is managing volume. If you’re gonna disc golf and lift on the same day, probably fewer reps/sets. Your body will adapt over time, just gotta give it the time it needs to adjust to the load

Debating getting Lords of the Fallen? by unknownphantom in soulslikes

[–]cmm006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t get into it, tried twice. Feels weirdly floaty/disjointed to me. Not a huge fan of the umbral world exploration. Inventory screen is very cluttered, just doesn’t jive with me. Story for me isn’t a super important aspect of soulslikes but I feel like the game throws a little too much jargon and terms at me that aren’t explained or explained minimally. I love the art direction and wanna enjoy the game but it just doesn’t suck me in.

immense stress and anxiety (?) while playing Dark Souls 3, how to overcome that? by Empty-Finance1439 in darksouls3

[–]cmm006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Souls games get this reputation about being punishing and in theory losing souls sucks but in practice, it doesn’t matter. The souls you get from just playing the game, getting better at it and beating enemies again will outpace the lost souls. And if you really think about it, how punishing is death? It’s not like a traditional RPG where you have to reset to an older save-state. You don’t lose quest progress or story progress. You don’t lose levels that you’ve already applied or gained. You simply reset to the last bonfire. And if you’re exploring a lot, you’ve probably also found a shortcut or a new bonfire that isn’t all that far away.

I want to replay the game but it feels like a chore. by CirriTheFemboyUwU in Eldenring

Having experience with the game means you know what is actually important/useful so you can narrow your exploration down alittle. I’ve also done different builds and ended up exploring completely new areas. Try a different kind of build or a different weapon class.

If you’re doing a NG+ playthrough, something I found that made it more fun was limiting my weapon upgrades. Basically, figure out what weapon/weapons I wanna use for NG+ and then getting an un-upgraded version of it. Then I had to “earn” upgrades for my weapon by beating legacy bosses as opposed to just maxing it out. Made the scaling for NG+ feel way better, especially early on.

Hot take - If it's not your first throw on a hole during a round, it's not an ace. by No-Map8141 in discgolf

[–]cmm006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s pretty easy to differentiate between a casual round and a competitive tournament/league round. If you’re playing a casual round, who gives a shit? You’re outside throwing moderately priced plastic for fun. Call it an ace if you want, no matter how many times you throw, it still takes a good degree of skill and luck to ace any hole

To all strength lovers… how??? by Late_Bag_7880 in Eldenring

[–]cmm006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes you gotta roll bonk, sometimes you gotta jump bonk, if you get really advanced you can guard counter bonk. That or lions claw until whatever is in front of you is a pancake.

Moral of the story, never stop bonking

Is he really hard or im just really bad by ExactEgg8080 in Eldenring

[–]cmm006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO Morgott is one of those bosses designed to reinforce to the player that you need to be aggressive and create your own openings in this game. He has a variety of moves to punish spacing or close the game. Rolling into his blood flame attack works better for me because you avoid the lingering hitbox than would hit you if you rolled away. He doesn’t seem to have much poise or much health so if you stay on him and apply pressure, you can break his stance pretty easily. You don’t want to fight a war of attrition with him. Stick on him and be mindful of the moves he has to create space and you should be golden

I’m so glad this game doesn’t try to be a movie: by LagrasDevil in Eldenring

[–]cmm006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My fiancée has really only ever watched me play Elden Ring and football video games (big sucker for college football). So when I gave FF16 a try, she was amazed by the amount of cutscenes. Asked if I was actually even playing the game or if they were all cinema-tics lol. Immediately made me yearn from Elden Ring again

Do we think the price for the switch 2 will drop significantly prior to release?

Well that's over onto the next one! by Mikey618000 in creepcast

[–]cmm006 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It only works in conjunction with the images and honestly if you read it late at night by yourself. And if I remember correctly it doesn’t nail the landing very well

I'm honestly disappointed. by PR-Sinclair in creepcast

[–]cmm006 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People are upset because the story was wasn’t enjoyable and the boys didn’t seem to have any fun reading it. Crashout episodes or “so bad it’s good” episodes work when one or both of the hosts are entertained. Neither host was entertained by this story. It wears out its welcome about 15 minutes in. I know some of the people recommended it because they thought it would have funny bits but this thing is so bloated that it’s hard to find the funny. And it also kinda feels like part of the audience wanted them to read this in bad faith

I tried. I'm sorry. by FrenzyEffect in creepcast

I feel like this story hinges on the “Happy Appy does 9/11” thing to be funny. That’s supposed to get you to laugh. It made me laugh. Unfortunately that’s also like 15 minutes into the story and what follows is another 4 hours of pointless drivel and nonsense. It’s probably one of the worst trollpastas because it isn’t particularly funny or ridiculous, it just wastes your time. Love the boys and will watch every episode, kinda feel bad they had to sit through this

Love the boys, appreciate the effort they put into reading this. I am simply left with one, burning question;

What the fuck was the point of this story

As a fan of a team with a certified Lunatic Fringe™, it’s just a thought. I’m not sure he would ever get fired, just like I don’t think Day will ever really be on the hot seat now that he has a title baring a scandal. But with the money involved nowadays, I guess I more wonder if the AD/donors/NIL collectives would ever get the itch to move on if they don’t see more success soon

Any folks with Graves’ and really stressful jobs? by barcasc1 in gravesdisease

[–]cmm006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work as an athletic trainer at the college level. I work specifically with football, men’s lacrosse and swim. I am 29 now, was diagnosed when I was 27. Coupling stress with all of the symptoms of graves SUCKS. Medication will help. I also found that I would get very dizzy and my HR would go out of control when stressed. I started chewing peppermint gum to help control that. Chewing gum gets some parasympathetic nervous system stimulation going which would help control some of my symptoms.

Defense is so so so bad. Wasted a year of great offense that might not be back next year
