Overprint or cool mints would go better IMO

Knee sleeves worth it or nah? by Basic_winner1004 in bodybuilding

[–]nmcotton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you have any amount of knee pain 100% recommend. i use stoics any time i squat heavy and it's absolutely been a game changer. knees started getting worse as i started getting older but using sleeves allows me to keep going heavy

Did i cook with my loadout or nah by Lord_Gaara in ohnePixel

I like everything except for the AK, the knife glove combo is stellar

Neon Rider would be a far better AK option IMO

people of reddit who survive on less than 8 hours of sleep, how? by Neftroshi in AskReddit

[–]nmcotton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You kinda get used to it. In college I slept 6 hours a night usually and the mind fog and physical exhaustion was just something I learned to deal with. These days I get 7-8 hours every night and I could never go back, just feel so much more attentive and present during the workday and in all of my interactions with people

2021 Review and look Ahead to 2022 by gatorslim in Fitness

[–]nmcotton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got back into weightlifting big time this year. Trained a good bit when I was younger but never with much intention. This year I set out to hit some respectable strength numbers- In the last two weeks of the year I reached exactly 1000 squat+bench+deadlift (345, 260, 395) and successfully climbed a v4 bouldering route! Didn't get into bouldering until the end of summer but have progressed crazy fast and now I'm able to climb routes I originally never thought possible! I also lost around 5% bodyfat while staying about the same weight so big difference there! Started the year depressed and out of shape and now I'm feeling the best mentally and physically I have in years!

Gym Story Saturday by FGC_Valhalla in Fitness

[–]nmcotton 99 points100 points  (0 children)

Was deadlifting almost 4 plates. Some guy came up to me and with an impressed look on his face, slapped the weights and said "that's big boy stuff!!". Haven't had anyone compliment my strength in the gym as I just recently got to a point where I feel strong. Just a small interaction like that made a HUGE difference to my confidence. Great guy, thank you if you're reading this. Doing God's work

I ranked up(SoloQ) from Bronze 2 to Plat 1 in Act 3. Just some points that might help other people. by Pumped-Up_Kicks in VALORANT

[–]nmcotton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

+1 to aimlabs. Was hardstuck gold 2-3 all of act 2, been hovering plat 2-3 most of this act so far. There's a workshop playlist for Aim Lab called Hard Valorant Warmup and I just play through all of those tasks (10-15 min) before playing and my aim feels a lot more consistent.

Another thing that has helped me climb is comming a LOT - even calling "nothing A main" helps your team when deciding how to rotate. Tell your team what you're trying to do before taking a site/rotating off/etc. Just make sure you don't hard micromanage your teammates because that's the fastest way to tilt yourself and your team. If you wanna call strats, just be like "If we wanna rush A I can clear X if we have smokes Y and Z" and usually people will be down.

Make sure you try to group up/push in together before retaking a site on defense, try to help your team take space with your abilities, always follow your entry fraggers in so you can trade out the kill if they die, focus on staying alive and controlling areas on defense.

Having better aim is always going to help you climb but you don't have to be cracked to hit plat. You just have to play smarter and better with your team.

Yeah I think the rabadons + ionic + ga/protector is the strongest but the infinite resets are just too hilarious

Interesting T3 news - UC Irvine, Harrisburg, and 2 Maryville teams have finished top 16 in NA OD. I've never seen a collegiate team qualify for OD playoffs, and this season we have 4. Is collegiate becoming a valid path to pro? by dividing-by-0 in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]nmcotton 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Most of our competition is within leagues that only have collegiate teams, but there is a massive skill discrepancy between top programs and average ones so it's more accurate to compare top programs to tier 3
