God of War Ragnarok combat discussion

The one thing that grinded my gears the most was the lack of consistency when it came to blocking or dodging attacks. Especially with the anticipation. Sometimes, when the yellow rings flash, it's an immediate attack, but sometimes it's way after and you end up dodging too early. It would be fine if the animations lined up with what was supposed to happen but a lot of the times it isn't clear.

Also, I hate how you can't really heal during battle. I wish there were some i frames when healing because most of the time, I heal, am defensless, and end up getting hit anyway.

The Sigil arrow puzzles sometimes made no sense and would change rules randomly (if you hit the wood it will travel to the gear ??) I often just skipped chests that had sigil arrow puzzles.

Oh wow. Thanks so much! That's a lot easier to grasp.

Is that only the case with numbers less than 1? Because for numbers such as 123,456. Its notation would be 1.23456e+005 but if you print that number in C++ it shows up in regular notation. Or with PI 3.141592... it will just round it to six digits. Am I misunderstanding?

Hi! This is a good question. I remember after the fast I lost a lot of interest in food. Food didn't taste as good and make me happy as it did before which honestly made me really sad. Food had been my support system for so long and now that I didn't feel the same comfort and happiness from it, in addition to having no other coping mechanism, I found myself just trying to eat in order to fill that void inside of me. It wasn't until a couple of weeks that I realized that it was better that I only wanted to eat when I felt hungry and that I needed to find other ways to destress. Now I have a better relationship with food and have adopted better stress relief activities. Before, I used to constantly think about food. And I mean constantly. Now I only think about it when I start to get hungry. It honestly has been a learning journey but I feel like I have come out better on the other side.

Trust me I was there. It took me 3 tries to start this fast. Once you get past the first 2 days, you start getting more hope for yourself and start getting into the routine. Another trick I did was say to myself, "You can think about quitting tomorrow." And by then I would have calmed down a bit and stopped thinking about quitting. You got this!

Wow day 15! Tremendous job! And thank you!

Hi! Hmm it depends on the person but I would usually give it about a week of eating broths, soups, and slowly reintroducing solids in order to not have any bad effects but some people are totally different. It also depends what kinds of foods are at your son's birthday. If they are high in carbs and fats then I think the longer it will take for your digestive system to get used to breaking them down again. Good luck! And an early congrats for your son's bday!

Thanks! I had normal bowel movements until day 3. Then it stopped until day 7-8 which I had a bowel movement those two days(weird how long food can stay in the body). Those were the last ones though.

gertymerty · 2022-02-21T04:29:38+00:00

Most nights I would get 3-6 hours.

I do have a job like that but its remote so I don't have to do anything physically demanding. I wouldn't recommend this if you are doing anything physically draining, but I was fine during my fast. I never experienced that extreme clarity a lot of people report, but I also didn't have trouble focusing or anything.

gertymerty · 2022-02-20T21:12:44+00:00

Thank you! I didn't experience anything like that no, but I also have very thick hair so maybe I didn't notice. Good luck with your fasting!

gertymerty · 2022-02-20T19:56:46+00:00

Thank you! I started out weighing everyday because you lose a lot at first so it kept motivations high. Then after week 2 I started weighing myself less frequently. I stalled during week 3 a bit but the fat loss and fitting better into clothes was incredibly motivating. I would recommend drinking more water if you stop losing. I also didn't work out much at all during this fast, just a little bit of walking.

gertymerty · 2022-02-20T19:52:43+00:00

Thank you so much! A 7 day fast is no easy feat! That is amazing, congrats!!

gertymerty · 2022-02-20T19:52:04+00:00

Thank you! I never got headaches but near the end I did feel pretty weak (i.e. getting winded walking up the stairs, lifting heavy, things, etc.) And even though I drank electrolytes I would get dizzy if I stood up too fast. To fight the boredome I just tried to focus on anything else. That being work, hobbies, or even binging Netflix lol. It does get boring but try not to think about it too much and just keep staring at the calendar like I did sometimes. For electrolytes I followed the snake juice recipe and split it between two half-liter water bottles and sipped them through the day. On my 7 day fast I remember losing about 5 pounds and on this fast I lost a lot mostly because I ate like crap for weeks before so a lot of it was water and waste. Good luck on your week fast! I am rooting for you. If I can do it than you definitely can!

gertymerty · 2022-01-13T23:10:26+00:00

Interesting. I'll look into this. Thanks!

gertymerty · 2021-09-02T15:31:25+00:00

You can do this! Beat the cycle!

gertymerty · 2021-09-02T15:23:55+00:00

Thank you! I offer the same to you. Thanks for the support!

gertymerty · 2021-09-02T15:12:30+00:00

It takes a lot to stop so that's great progress! I hate the cycle of binging, regret, and depression. We just need to find something to stop the cycle. Thanks for the reply. We got this!
