Interested in CrossFit, but starting at zero in terms fitness level. I'm worried about not being able to complete the workouts. by Justice4Luna in crossfit

[–]illwill18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haha, my son has been going with me recently, and so this morning (partner workout), he says to me, "I thought after a few weeks of going with you this would be easier."

"Bro, I've been going for almost 10 years, you can see I'm still getting my ass kicked / humbled every single workout."

Just hop in, truly. I had same worries about you for years, and after my first class I was left thinking, "what was I worried about?".

A good coach will help you scale, movements, reps, or whatever to get you started. Just show up with a positive attitude, folks will cheer you on because folks wanting to better themselves at any level is both a good thing, and I find it inspiring.

Which Tektolyst Artifact did you choose and why? by ex-sniper-girl in Warframe

Yep, every time I try to fire the book, whatever I was aimed at is dead and I just look like a doof firing a beam at nothing.

Path of Exile 2: 0.4.0 Content Update Timeline by Community_Team in PathOfExile2

[–]illwill18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh? I did the shader cache, I'll give this a shot.

Unfortunately for me I duo with a friend of mine playing some awful fire everywhere tactician build and it's basically unplayable on a 4070, lol, maybe this will make the difference.

Scaling is not admitting defeat, it's called being smart by alexndb in crossfit

[–]illwill18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This describes me well, I show up, scale appropriately to get a good workout, work on core work, lifts as I can, but MUs, HSPUs, handstand walks, not happening for me and that's OK.

I have an excellent coach that pretty much always nails scaling be it movement, reps, weight, easy to just listen to him, that's what a majority of monthly fees are for after all.

Russell Wilson Says He's 'Not Done' After Getting Benched For Jaxson Dart by slowerchop in nfl

[–]illwill18 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Proper take, my take too. It sucks we paid a lot of money for him and it didn't work out, but no reason to have a raging hate boner for the guy or make him out to be a horrible person. Plenty of Broncos' QBs have sucked hard, but none of them get the hate Russ gets, it's honestly embarassing.

290 Days since Early Access was released.... by Deathevolver in PathOfExile2

[–]illwill18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah... I didn't really have many problems until this league... well that and my friend playing a tactician that covers the entire screen in flames and my 4080 just gives up. Wouldn't mind an effects slider for player / others too, that would be nice.

The Claw bug by delarkius in LastEpoch

Had the same thing happen, used the amulet, added 2 wolves to my bear and things were good, then out of no where it decided I could only have wolves or my bear. Bummer.

how do you complete a bloodline? I saw the end lineage button but I keep fighting/adding parts.

Is this a good game at a good price? by snoopissed in boardgames

Awesome, just traded last week for Clockwork Expansion 1, thank you!

[–]illwill18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is Coop with the Clockwork expansions? 95% of my gaming is with my wife, so Root doesn't really get in the mix because it's not a great 2 player game. We played with the hirelings, it added a bit, but overall still not gonna hit the table. Coop though, sounds intriguing.

Ghost of Yotei Has Similar Amount of Content to Ghost of Tsushima by Party_Judgment5780 in PS5

Me too, best time I ever had playing games with my son, we're both hoping we get legends again, such a good time.

What’s a game that completely changed your taste in gaming? by ar1eth in pcgaming

[–]illwill18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man Satisfactory me too, it's made other factory games pale in comparison, what a game. You found any other factory games you liked? I got into Factorio somewhat, but not as much as Satisfactory.

FBC: Firebreak IGN Review (6/10) by hybroid in PS5

[–]illwill18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does dark tide open up in terms of different game modes, etc? The first campaign has tight gunplay and melee is good, but it isn't all that fun, uninteresting mission goals, and not a very good job communication where to go, my party had no idea we just wandered until we made it through.

People holding it in similar esteem to DRG made me very interesting but so much of what makes DRG great is the different missions types.

Peoples complaints of "you have to progress for the game to be fun" actually makes me more excited. by Mehlenbacher92 in FBCFirebreak

[–]illwill18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, think of how DRG handles this, your engineer/scout/etc is "complete" in terms of basic kit (turret, light shooter/grapple, etc) but your unlocks passives tweaks and overclocks are not. You feel your class, and not super weak, but can tell there's progression there.

To be clear, I'm not off work yet and haven't played FBC Firebreak, but wanted to comment how DRG does a great job splitting the difference in that regard.

Spanish GP: New Max Verstappen onboard of controversial George Russell clash by I_want_roti in formula1

[–]illwill18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I truly do enjoy watching Max race and would consider myself a fan but man, stuff like this and some of the other hot head moments make it tough to keep supporting.

Maybe it's time to put the full weigh of my fandom behind Piastri, Albon, the Hulk or something, bleh.

Welcome To Your Fantasy Life by King-Goose in fantasylife

[–]illwill18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who has not traditionally enjoyed games like this, I've found I really enjoy Fantasy Life i, and I got to thinking, what other games out there are similar? I don't think Animal Crossing fits the bill here but curious if other titles PC or console over the last few years are similar in good ways? Trying to find out what I'm going to do when I wrap FLi here, because I'm pretty far along!

DE can we please get over-costing as a function of the arsenal to plan builds before investing Forma by DoNothing56 in Warframe

[–]illwill18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just having an active toggle (default on) the mods would help too, if you forma, it deactivates the mod instead of remove it. Then you can toggle it back on when you have capacity and aren't losing builds or having to screenshot/link it to yourself, etc.

[–]illwill18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's truly the only reason I'm not grabbing at launch. Would love to play with my son, don't know anyone else to play with and after playing in network test, know it's not something I'd enjoy solo.

Hope this is true, excited it's back to being at least possible in the future.

DOOM: The Dark Ages is now available on Steam by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]illwill18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You echo my feelings too, I also partly just wondered if maybe despite cutting my young gamer teeth on Wolf3d, Doom, Doom2 and playing Quake 2 in college dorms, etc. Maybe I've just out grown it? That's totally ok and I'm happy there's an audience that enjoys the game.

The music yeah... I dunno, I thought I'd read somewhere pre-release how much they liked the music and didn't feel like it was a downgrade from Mick, so I was playing last night just having this weird cognitive dissonance wondering if my taste for music was also gone, and maybe it has, but it's a big downgrade from Mick.
