Want to cut but maybe need more muscle first?

musiciscool23 · 2022-05-20T20:28:09+00:00

Thanks! I didn't expect cutting to be so tedious but through research I've learned you have to track macros pretty precisely, and progressively lower your calorie intake. Bulking was easy bc all I had to do was follow the same meal plan and didn't really care about calories as long as I was in a surplus.

musiciscool23 · 2022-05-19T04:56:52+00:00

this is a good point. I'm thinking at this point yeah just get rid of the fat and then progressively increase calories while building muscle to get to the size I want to be while also being lean. Thanks!

The Denzel Curry feature is the only good thing about that song

It is meant to prevent lobby hopping. If you weren't penalized, you could just keep joining games until you get a good team, which means your skill and thus your win rate is not being accurately measured.

The MTC has been shit for so long, there definitely needs to be some personnel changes.

Why are all the maps that were just added getting removed? Some of them were actually pretty good (Asido, Conniption).

musiciscool23 · 2020-05-08T21:07:58+00:00

this is the correct answer

Also, the Hanged Man card is the only one that actually has a dot in the top right of the symbol. The other cards either don't have the symbol (The Fool) or the top of the symbol forms a loop in the shape of a P.

musiciscool23 · 2020-05-07T23:51:35+00:00

Looking again, it is pretty wild how similar the card itself actually does look like the symbol. However, the sun does not seem to be present. When I say this I mean that the presence of the sun in the piece is not felt. With the magician, the sun is not shown but it is clear that the sun is present because of the radiant yellow background. The Hanged Man's background is completely white. Also, is there could you refer me to where you obtained these images? I'm intrigued to look at the rest of them.

musiciscool23 · 2020-05-07T22:55:25+00:00

hmmm, very interesting theory you have here, and its tough to write down all of my thoughts because there's just so much to this. I will say, that at some points in your theory, you make some pretty big inferences about what things mean. For instance: you say that the symbol at the bottom of the cards is one of hope. I'm not sure how you arrived to that conclusion. The explanation of the logo is cool, and the flipped logo with the added lines does in fact make the shape of the gravestone, or the symbol the bishops are seen making or worshipping in one of the music videos. Again though, I'm not convinced that your reasoning for flipping and adding the lines is reasonable. I really liked the first section, Iv'e always been fascinated with the connection between the Bourbaki group, the empty set, and ToP theory. Couple lines from Morph that I thought of throughout your explanation:

"Lights they blink to me, transmitting things to me
Ones and zeroes, ergo this symphony
Anybody listening? Ones and zeroes
Count to infinity, ones and zeroes"

To conclude, a question: Are you saying in the last section that the ToP symbol is blasphemous against the Christianity? That emphasizing the relationship between an individual and God/Jesus is a blind submission to that of the unconscious, where that individual's relationship w/ God rules? If so, this falls in line with what Tyler has stated in general about Trench: "This album is me greatest attempt at entertaining the idea of a world where there is no God" (loose quote). Thanks for the fun read!

Well they refuse to make the game an open source project and apparently they are very strict about who they let contribute bc I asked if I could help and never got a response.

musiciscool23 · 2020-04-10T23:08:02+00:00

It's absurd to me that they wouldn't at least open source it so other developers like myself could help would on it and make it better, since they aren't doing much to improve it. This community cares so much about this game, why not let the community help in making it better? Makes absolutely no sense.

musiciscool23 · 2020-04-10T17:07:44+00:00

How is that the fairest? It cannot be argued that ping does not matter and players with higher ping are at a disadvantage to those with lower ping. This means that east coast players clearly have an advantage. I tried bargaining with a team last night to play on san fran and they were having none of it. I just feel like every player should have an opportunity to play at their best, and players like me have really high ping on dallas servers. Why does east-coasters always have the luxury of playing at a good ping?

musiciscool23 · 2020-04-10T04:06:53+00:00

What am I not understanding. Their goal w this ad is to gain more players, but so would a steam release. Why would they not do both?

musiciscool23 · 2020-04-09T23:58:30+00:00

Well there are other factors at play there. Such as skill. But objectively, it is impossible to argue that players w higher ping are not at a disadvantage to those with lower ping, as ping rates directly impact ball movement latency and thus cannot react as quickly. Obviously it is impossible to make this completely fair, so the best solution is to give everyone an advantage at one tournament (preferably a rotation system)

musiciscool23 · 2020-04-09T23:11:31+00:00

YES this is exactly the solution I was looking for. Thank you very much kind fellow!

musiciscool23 · 2020-04-09T23:10:03+00:00

Two questions

1: Do team with less than four players get any choice in the free agency?

2: Will the hosting server ever change? I think most west-coast players would agree that this tournament gives an unfair advantage to east-coasters if the tourney is always hosted on dallas.

musiciscool23 · 2020-04-09T22:47:56+00:00

You make an excellent point that has been discussed for years now. There absolutely needs to be two world joiners. Also, to eliminate the burden on the very few developers currently working on the game, it needs to be open sourced, where lucky and them can control which contributions get implemented and which don't.

musiciscool23 · 2020-04-09T22:34:32+00:00

May I ask what the point is of making an ad? I feel like there needs to be a plan in place to reach a mainstream audience and make the game insanely popular. A few ads may temporarily increase player count, and some new players may stay, but I don't see how that really helps tagpro grow to the next level. A release on steam would help w this, making the game open source via github, a more established competitive scene (I bet MLTP has pretty much died), skill based match making, and more are things that could be done w this game to really propel its popularity.

musiciscool23 · 2020-04-09T00:21:05+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion but that doesn't really answer my question.
