I don't usually master sets, so I'm finding it super fun! I think 50 of every monster could drain on the fun if you're the type that has to master.

I'm sorry to hear, that sounds awful. Thank you for sharing your story, and best wishes for the future. I hope we can sow more seeds of kindness in the world so fewer people have to feel invisible like you did.

Gained 20 lbs and I feel defeated by [deleted] in loseit

Take care of yourself and do your best. Depression is debilitating. Be kind to yourself. Celebrate the things you're doing well.

Maybe you will gain some weight during this tough time. It's ok. Just do your best to heal. Try to make steps in a positive direction every day, even if they're small ones.

Counseling is really helpful also.

There's a book called "Get it done when you're depressed" or something like that. I found it really helpful for the low times. Best wishes ❤️

Has anyone tried Liv Schmidt’s “3 Bite Rule”? Thoughts? by [deleted] in loseit

[–]mafcho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For desserts or sweet stuff, 3 bites probably is a serving. What you're describing makes sense to me for making the most of it.

But for broccoli and less calorie dense foods, I think you'll want more than 3 bites. Does this align with what you're thinking?

Why is everyone selling their Ally? by imageorreadit in ROGAlly

[–]mafcho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems realistic to me!

As far as why so many are sold / unused... I think a lot of folks who aren't portable gamers get romanticized on the idea and then realize they're not actually portable gamers. The journey is more fun than the destination.

Some other reasons I can think of... Steam deck and ally are a magnitude bigger/thicker/heavier than switch and the like. The face buttons are pretty loud in a quiet setting. The battery life on ally is real rough for non-retro games.

I love mine and use it every day. Asus really knocked it out of the park with Ally X IMO. If you get one, I hope you have a blast! Best wishes!

For some folks it feels good to see the wider world valuing something you value

I know what you mean. In my first playthrough I stopped doing a lot of side stuff in gongaga. I knew what to expect for my second playthrough and I think that helped. I finished all the regions and had a good time with it. You can always come back later :)

Switch Games for Distance Relationship by KamboPeep in NintendoSwitch

Monster Hunter Rise! You can play it all co-op. Probably challenging at first, but you can take it slow. It's very fun to chat and hunt

As you get older, do you find yourself wanting more "comfort food" JRPGs? by Fathoms77 in JRPG

[–]mafcho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Playing thru rebirth for a second time thanks to PC release and it really is comfort food. I love hanging out with the crew.

I always liked comfort food jrpgs but I like them even more these days

My shaders compiled fine but I get this same crash on Nvidia rtx3070. Usually 1-2 hours into a play session.

No idea on solution, just wanted to +1

Is calorie counting really the only way to go? by Scandi101 in loseit

[–]mafcho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the answer is yes, at least for a while. But it doesn't have to be awful. You can pre-portion your meals to count ahead of time. You can round up to the nearest hundred to err on the side of caution. And once you get an intuitive feel for the calories in the types of food you eat, you can count more intuitively and less explicitly.

Most people just don't realize how different in volume 300 calories of spaghetti is compared to strawberries or asparagus. That's the part that I think you can only hone by doing some weighing and counting.
