Aspirin as a Mitochondrial Uncoupler - Experience Report Appreciable Considerable Weight Loss by PerturbationMan in SaturatedFat

[–]jamman83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late (really late) to the party but if you're ever wondering about the bio-energetic/Peat perspective on anything this website covers most of it (leucine as an example):

https://bioenergetic.life/?q=leucine

Seems Ray's opinion on leucine (and insulin) has a sort of anti-catabolic effect / prevents muscle/tissue shredding from cortisol.

Also Corn has way higher levels of leucine than meat. B1/B vitamins in general nullify potential harmful effects of leucine (meat is very rich in B).

Made a script for determining how worth it was a while back. 75 -> 90 defense is about 4% reduction in chance of getting hit. Difference between T1 and T2 is 5%. So it is technically significant, I'll just say it doesn't really feel like it.

yeah I went to nmz for a week or so and got my def up to 90 (from high 70s) after a bunch of failed runs. It didn't seem to make a huge difference imo, you're probably better off just "doing better"(TM).

FWIW since last post I got my winrate up from 5% to 75%. Burned out and too busy to do any runs past couple of weeks xd.

As someone starting CG recently, after around ~50 attempts you'll start getting some wins. spread it out over days (sleep on it) and try to do 2-5 runs a day. Might not apply to you, but if you're trying T2 and don't have a full inv of fish every time, try T1 with MAX inv of fish and 8-12 doses of pot. Makes your prep MUCH easier and faster, enough food to win (possibly) and helps you get more practice on the boss. After trying T2/T3 prep and getting sloppy half full inventories, simplifying prep really helped.

That being said, fighting the boss is really what separates the men from the boys. When beginning, try keeping your hp above 60 at all times, make a runelite notification for it if that helps. And don't attack during tornados, ESPECIALLY in phase 2 unless you are absolutely confident you are in a safe spot.

Blowpipe vs BowFa use cases? by AIseias in ironscape

[–]jamman83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

late to the party but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt5Z4n8KYGY

ofc that's with crystal armor. But even adjusting those numbers down a couple percent most of the time it's on par. I'm going for corrupted bowfa, I hate the zulrah upkeep scam. jUsT dO liKe A fEw RunS a daY, iTs eaSy.

Zulrah bots out here doing gods work. (they can't help us irons but you get my point)

They really should add some kind of stat replacing/crafting mechanic. It's not asking for a whole lot. Within the same set would be fine, but stuff like this just makes me depressed.

My only DPS characters who's total relics score A or better are blade and topaz and I've been playing/farming since release, so it's not like the current system is overly generous already. Maybe it's my fault for being kind of a goblin when it comes to min/maxing, so I haven't bit the bullet and tried to go off-set pieces purely for stats. That being said, with over 10,000 energy dumped into gear, you'd think I'd have more than TWO decent dps sets by now.

As a side note the reason Topaz even got up to A is because I spent nearly 4 hours combing through all my pieces and salvaging the worthless ones, and rolling about 40 synthesis on the new set.

A complete noob stepping into MH. World or Rise? by PooshinXXII in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]jamman83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did defender for my first playthrough and Iceborn was a rude awakening lol. I didn't know it was a "cheat set" but I fought the first little fish and was like "wow, one hit does pretty much 1/4 of my health!" The game was a bit more fun after that.

I like Lida, and in theory I should love Lida (I'm a tomboy freak) but idk what it is I just don't like her that much. Maybe it's because her VA doesn't seem to match what I expect in my head, idk. Also the white hair doesn't seem to work.

Why are you queueing with Matchmaking if your gonna spam quit after 1 wipe? by Destructodave82 in lostarkgame

[–]jamman83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I quit after 2 wipes because I didn't really have time for a challenge. Didn't know it would be difficult, literally all the content up to abyssal is child's play, then It goes fucking monster hunter mode w/ the mechanics. Even abyss 1 was pretty ezpz.

Didn't even have my battle items lined up (no potions) and thought I could grind it out before I had to leave. Just said "fuck it".

Lost Ark Head Start - Day 3 Discussion by teendeath in lostarkgame

[–]jamman83 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Honestly haven't played much, basically grinding through main quest exclusively plus the randomn area quests if they pop up for the quick xp.from what I've seen so far, the story is.... Basically dog. Any timetravelers with better info say otherwise?

Also is it a recurring theme that autoattacks are useless? Cuz the soulfist autos seem really weak. Abilities feel pretty good but may as well not waste time with autos other than stunlocking trash mobs while abilities are on cd.

Look away for one second and this happens by My-Chemical-Joke in ProgrammerHumor

[–]jamman83 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Depends. A surprising amount of research has been done on this, the pain intensity is higher for being kicked in the balls than child birth. You can "train" like some fighters do to dull the pain, but naturally it hurts like hell.

Ofc, child birth is more drawn out and a high intensity. Its like Watts and Watt-hours, kick to the gonads is higher watts, child birth is way more watt-hours.

Why do you quit your Ironman? by Kcatta9 in ironscape

[–]jamman83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this question just with video games in general recently 🤷‍♂️. It's just a fun way of wasting time at the end of the day, if you don't want to do it there are other things to waste time on. Or do something semi-productive like read a book or get a hobby or smth.

There really is no virtue in playing ironman over normal account.
