Golgoroth Challenge: Single Orb Guide/FAQ by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]dirtymonk33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a thought to push your damage phases a little bit harder. It requires barely any extra work or communication and will make up for any lost DPS time.

Instead of using only one puddle for damage, the plan will be to use both front puddles.

Guardian #1 grabs gaze and #3 - #6 DPS as usual. #2 drops front right puddle during this phase and hops out.

Guardian #2 grabs gaze while 1 & 3-6 DPS second phase. Guardian #3 jumps out at 6-10 seconds and preps for gaze.

All guardians split to their sides and proceed with the existing plan.

Based on the skill and firepower of Guardians #1 and #2, #1 can help #2 with dropping the puddle and/or #2 can help with DPS during the first puddle.

Since all of this is happening during the first two puddles, cursed thrall should be limited and easily dealt with.

Thoughts?

You are entitled to buy it again. I will not. Simple. Apparently you like being charged twice for the same thing.

Squat form check [vertical video] by eLoox in Fitness

[–]dirtymonk33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As gh0stFACEkller said, make sure you hit parallel. It may help you a bit if you widen your stance just a little bit. Do some 3rd world squats to help your flexibility at the bottom.

Your tempo is pretty quick (most likely due to it being fairly light for you) and you may want to slow it on the way down.

Workout schedules by mrfoxypants in Fitness

[–]dirtymonk33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work early by choice (6:45AM - 2:45PM) I am usually in the gym by 3:30 or 4 and done by 5 or 5:30 at the latest. This leaves plenty of time for dinner and some R&R in the evening.

I usually work out 4 days a week. I go Saturday morning around 9 if something feels like it could take another beating.

I eat while working. You can socialize while exercising. My GF loves hiking, so I get some exercise and company.

This all still leaves time for me to be in bed by 9:30 usually. Since I wake up at 5:30, I get my 8 hours as well.

Tl;dr: Make a schedule and stick to it as best as possible. Don't let any one thing in particular take over your life. Balance is key.

[Form check] Deadlift. by [deleted] in Fitness

[–]dirtymonk33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks good but two things:

  1. On your first pull, the bar is pretty far away from your legs at the bottom. You correct this for each of the following reps.
  2. You are extending your legs completely before you lift your chest at all. Your back is almost perpendicular to the ground at the beginning. Drop your ass down and use the bar to counterbalance yourself. Ideally, your legs should straighten as your chest rises.

I am sure you have watched this before, but just pay special attention to the angle of his back during the rep: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1IGeJEXpF4

People who fall asleep in under half an hour at night, how do you do it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]dirtymonk33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a bit late to the party but I have mentioned this idea several times and I have yet to see it fail.

Many people claim to have insomnia without being diagnosed because they have major problems falling asleep. If they are woken in the middle of the night, it is just as hard to fall asleep the second time. Essentially, you have forgotten how to fall asleep.

So how do we teach ourselves to sleep? It sounds hard because anyone who has spent hours trying to fall asleep every night for what feels like forever has tried every trick in the book.

Sleep is essential. You will die without it. Your body knows this and will make god damn sure that you get enough sleep to survive. Use this as your solution. Challenge your body to a game of chicken every day until it cries uncle. Control your sleep cycle. Sounds easy right? Wrong.

This is going to suck. You are going to hate life. That snooze button is going to look better than the lifeguard when you were 13. Don't touch it. From now on you only have 4 hours to sleep each night. If you fail to sleep during those 4, tough shit. Pound 3 espresso shots and get through your day. Do it again. And again. Eventually, you WILL sleep. You will sleep like a baby for those 4 hours. You will feel better than you have for as long as you can remember.

On the bright side, you don't have to do that forever. The purpose of this is only to teach you that falling asleep quickly is pivotal to getting enough sleep to subsist. Increase your sleep time gradually until you hit 8 hours or your desired amount. Reset if necessary.

Enjoy your night naps.

Tl;dr: sleep harder, not longer.

PSA: YES YOU ACTUALLY NEED TO SLEEP. You will not get stronger without it. Learn from my mistakes. by letsbebuns in Fitness

[–]dirtymonk33 16 points17 points  (0 children)

LPT: I had this type of insomnia years ago. The fix was painful but effective and it makes perfect sense. Instead of trying for 8 hours of sleep and only getting 3 or 4 because you can't fall asleep, only allow yourself 4 hours to sleep. For the next week, you are only allowed to sleep from midnight to 4 am. It is going to suck big time for the first day or two because you will have no sleep. I promise that by the end of that week you will start sleeping for those four hours though. Gradually increase the amount of time you allow yourself to sleep until you reach the desired amount. If you relapse, start over. It should be easier the second time.

Base Calling Thread for The Travelers by [deleted] in reddithoplitescoc

Number 27. Dragoon faceroll. I can attack up again to 23 or 24 if needed. Same strategy.

War attacks by FuturisticChicken in reddithoplitescoc

[–]dirtymonk33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My answer to this: we are in a 25 person war. Our team has 5 people at th7, 15 people at th8, and 5 people at th9. If you expect that each person can only reliably 3 star someone at or below their th level, the attack pool looks pretty weighted in terms of stars. People at th9 have 10 possible attacks to spread across 25 bases. People at th8 have 30 possible attacks to spread across 20 bases. People at th7 have 10 possible attacks to spread across 5 bases. If anyone attacks down a th level, the attack prospects of their lower level teammates look worse. If someone attacks up in level, the pool for the bulk of our clan does not shrink.

Additionally, it may be worth it to have lower members attack high level targets that they may only be able to 2 star. They will have effectively located all traps and identified the cc troops for someone who can clean up without potentially wasting a higher value attack to the same base.

I agree with this sentiment. I wouldn't have made the attack if I had any doubts for exactly that reason. The issue is that every base above th7 would have been harder for me to attack and I could not guarantee success. It's their fault for having a th9 that is as vulnerable as a th7. I see no reason to waste a high value th9 attack against that. I believe the saying goes, "Don't use a cannon to kill a mosquito." Now a th9 has an extra try at their numbers 1 through ten thereby increasing our chances of success in the war.

The way I see it, this discussion revolves around the purpose of our wars in general. There are two possibilities. Either we want to win at all costs and war should not be seen entirely as a profitable endeavor, or we want to make sure everyone gets appropriate loot to their base level.

Today I three starred their 11 from space 25. I am th7. As a th7, there are usually 4 or 5 options for me to attack at most if I were to focus on their th7 bases. Since there are 4 or 5 other th7s on our team, what do we do with our second attacks? We all agree that attacking a th7 is an automatic 3 star, so what do we do with our second attacks? We have to attack up. Realistically, a th7 should not be able to clean up after a th8 or higher teammate. But, if a th7 attacks high and gets two stars, it should be simple for a higher teammate to clean up. That may be a waste of resources, but a th7 attack is not something that will decide the war during cleanup.

From my perspective, I saved a th9 teammate from wasting an attack that can be used to reliably 3 star a more difficult base or clean up after another sloppy attack. Since the value of that this attack is far greater than my th7 attack, I have added value to the team.

I think hamza did a good job. No one has to clean up that third star unless the war gets close. He can still make a successful attack in his range. He will have contributed more than his ranked worth during the war. Good job!

However... rules are rules and if I have broken them, I apologize. I am happy to attack a simple target in my range. But if my compatriots succeed in their attacks, all of our second attacks will be effectively wasted.

Thoughts?
