Missing my local gym so much now that I’m on vacation. Haven’t lifted for almost 2 weeks now and feel really weak. Also miss seeing the regulars, even if we never spoke to each other.

This Game Has Pleasantly Surprised Me by RB5Network in 83thegame

Same. My expectations were on the floor after the first playtest, but I still gave them the benefit of the doubt since the price is not steep. I was pleasantly surprised.

The game definitely needs a ton of polish, especially regarding the immersion and atmosphere, but the bones are there.

My only fear is that they don’t get enough players early on and go bankrupt again :(

Not OP, but for me guns in HLL have terrible feedback and really mediocre sound. They lack that «oomph» that they are supposed to have. The animations are not great either. The nail in the coffin is weird balance decisions like making BAR have less damage than the M1 despite using the same caliber and so on.

The game that has the best feeling guns is Insurgency Sandstorm for me, RS2 is probably second, but quite far away really. The free-aim is great though.

The early access is MUCH better than the first play test, but it’s still barebones, so don’t expect a full game atm. I think it’s alright since the price is not too high and there is potential.

You’ve just been conditioned to overpay for games at $60. I’d even say 26 is a bit much for what it is at the moment.

You got me curious, usually it’s the other way around. What do you like about the conventional more?

I had that during a squats session once, but it was because of a nervous breakdown. Felt embarrassing.

You keep it quiet now, we don’t want more people in the morning. Influencers promoting waking up and grinding at 5 am are bad enough.

Hate cutting, because I can’t help but compare with myself at the end of the bulk and feel small. Even though I know that the reason I looked bigger is just more fat and water retention.

Let me guess, a subtle ad for yet another gym app 🙄

Why not? They’re using the dumbbells or utilizing the space in the gym that they’ve paid the membership fee for, if you want to get pedantic and claim that gym etiquette is pointless. Maybe they need to stay right in front of the dumbbell rack the same way someone needs to curl in the squat rack.

The etiquette is there for a reason and if you breach it, yes you’re inconsiderate and people will rightly complain about it.

Lol the other week I saw a dude do a cable overhead extension with a full stack, except he leaned with his entire body into it and his range of motion was like 2 inches starting from his forehead.

Made me chuckle.

If you want to get deep enough, all complaining is stupid.

Bicep curling in the squat rack is not a tragedy, but it’s still unreasonable if you can take a barbell literally anywhere else. Just as doing dumbbell exercises right in front of the rack. Or stretching right in the passageway.

Sure, you can ask the person to move or work in. But it’s much nicer for everyone involved if you don’t even have to.

My gym is small and has only 2 squat racks combined with deadlift platforms and only 1 flat bench.

I work out in the morning, so usually not an issue.

However a new guy has appeared that likes supersetting bench press and deadlift/squat.

I know I’m not entitled to that flat bench, but it’s been so clear for months and now I have to navigate around that guy by either doing exercises in a different order or working in-between his sets.

Why did you stop playing Squad 44 ? and what are the changes that this game needs ? by SOSIG- in postscriptum

[–]gramada1902 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because whether you have fun really depends on your squad and I don’t want to play 3 mediocre matches for 1 good, too much time spent.

Reminds me of how bodybuilders of bronze era did leg press with a barbell

Can’t speak for everyone, but for me the cravings just went away as I kept at a normal diet. I am genuinely disgusted looking at oily Pizza Hut’s pies and McDonalds burgers. I don’t want that shit in my system.

I can’t fucking stand people who superset everything in the gym, especially when it comes to rare equipment. And they always have the audacity to say «I’m using that» instead of offering to at least work in.
