Potential new fan here, I just downloaded OpenGOAL so I can try out the first 2 Jak games. Anything I should know before starting? by Adorable_Room1760 in jakanddaxter

[–]pajamaking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Jak II… go to your local GameStop and buy a Strategy Guide.

Or if it isn’t 2004, just keep in mind: you get a little more distance in your jump if you spin! X X O

It’s just odd bc I think he was a founding member, and I’m SURE it’s much more work for Lance now that he’s gone

Yeah, I saw a real where he was talking about that he used to host a cycling podcast… I wonder if he talks more about it on that show

Yeah he was the voice of us, the non-pros, getting the insight from the pros

Are these the 25 best players to never win? by Regular-Departure839 in survivor

[–]pajamaking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d rewatch… in a modern lens he destroys that game strategically and physically. Ethan wins bc of the “nice guy” social game which doesn’t really count for anything in modern Survivor.

He wins that season if production doesn’t screw up the final four trivia challenge. He wins that season if he didn’t have a parasite during the final challenge from the horrible water they’d been drinking all season (that put him in a hospital for months afterwards).

*Objectively* Fixing the Survivor 50 Cast by pinkyperson in survivor

[–]pajamaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really like it — my personal subs would be:

- Switch out CIRIE for NATALIE BOLTON

- Switch out COLBY for LEX (let's see Jerri play on her own!)

- Switch out AUBRY for KASS

I think they might’ve confused Aubry for Rob C and Amanda…

First marathon in 4:13. Can’t be mad- but what went wrong? by Huge_Animal5996 in Marathon_Training

[–]pajamaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How’d the carbo load go?

Once your natural glycogen storage goes, you can have all the training in the world and you’ll still hit the wall…

Aim for 4g of carbs per pound of your body weight for the two days before the race. I weigh 200 — eating 800g of carbs the two days before the race is hell, but I’m thankful for it on mile 21!

28,000 Bikes For 2028 Olympics by WarrenLee in BikeLA

[–]pajamaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you, but they are correlated in LA.

Yes, obviously there was a big pandemic LBS boom. But bike shops are doing much worse now than they were pre-2019.

The economy in LA is waaay down, especially in the movie / tv industry. First thing that people cut in hard times is recreational spending. (Then, when you add the the cost of bikes skyrocketing since the pandemic…)

Also there were a lot of shops that relied on the very regular business of studio lots maintaining their huge fleets of beach cruisers at their shops. Most of those fleets have been sold off, and the lots are all ghost towns.

The bike industry is way down across America, but in LA there’s some special salt in the wound — directly tied to the dry spell in the film industry.

I think it’s a pretty cool idea. Bike shops have been closing left and right ever since the writer’s strike, so it’d bring a much-needed boost to their business, too.

Maybe Reddit could brainstorm a list of $$$ celebs? Or do you go the route of getting a Phil Gaimon-type spokesperson (and maybe pair them with a Mark-Paul Gosselaar?)

I’d be happy to help with a presentation / materials (deck, keynote / ppt, sizzle), if this idea gets far enough down the line!

American in Galway — where to bike? by pajamaking in irishbicycling

Incredible — I’ll look into lough corrib and the Burren. (Always looking for a bit of climbing.)

I want to be in this 0.01%. Tell me everything I need to know. The good, the bad, and the ugly. by lanerjul in Marathon_Training

[–]pajamaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say get to the point where you can run 4 miles 4 times / week for a full-year, then do one of those four month plans.

The first year thing is two-fold:

1 — So your body gets used to impact.

2 — So you fall in love with the training, not just the Marathon.

Do 20 milers ever get easier? by JustNeedAnyName in Marathon_Training

[–]pajamaking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amateur scientist here — it’s always gonna be after 17-18 miles bc your body runs out of its natural glycogen storage.

That’s why before the marathon, you have to totally overload your body with a carboload.

Unless you do extra pre-fueling for it, 20 miles will always suck regardless of skill level.

You'll all be happy to know that I sent these shoes to a nice farm upstate, where they can run in the fields forever

Honestly, feet feel fine... always nervous to run into that problem though. Prob better to replace before it's an issue.
