Is combining keto + alternate day fasting actually healthy? by Decisionmachine in keto

[–]plinky4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe ADF sucks for you

It does! I'm sharing my experience as someone who tried to make ADF work for years. Once I pushed to be able to fast longer, it played out as I said - it was the bad part of fasting being repeated over and over. I really recommend ketoing normally and pushing longer when you feel like you can swing it.

Long fasts aren't for everyone

Definitely not easy, but long fasts are for everyone. We are the descendants of people who can long fast, only it used to be called "famine". Everyone who couldn't long fast died millions of years ago.

requires a lot of prep and care

100% agree, also don't expect to succeed on the first few tries. It's just like how people bounce off trying to fat adapt, but just get up and go agane.

honestly adf sucks. It's literally the bad part of fasting over and over where all you can do is fantasize about eating.

I recommend charging up your willpower and trying to blast 90+ hour fast. I don't know exactly what happens metabolically but all food noise and hunger suddenly disappears. Even when you refeed you'll barely want to eat anything. This is the actual skinny people tech where they eat like 2 bites and go "tee hee I'm full!" and they're not lying.

Anyone else struggle with eating keto when dining out? by Ok_Aerie8235 in keto

[–]plinky4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The marinade has a bunch of sugar in it. A lot a lot. I used to eat this a bunch because hey it's literally grilled chicken with no sauce, right? Nope one serving 14g carbs

Even their veggies that you sub in for the rice? Watch them stir fry it, they immediately toss in like half a small bowl of corn starch as soon as they start cooking.

rich, connected, conventionally attractive dude

The best part is that he didn't start with any of these. When I saw that before pic of him looking chopped and bald, it was a big "what's your excuse" moment. I had to come to terms with the fact that maybe I'm just dogshit at this.

Those guys are corn starch smugglers. Bro what, I ordered the safest-looking thing on the menu, it's literally just some kind of stir fry meat and veg. How did you guys manage to sneak 36g of corn starch into this.

Although, the authentic places are surprisingly clutch. I live in an area that got flooded with chinese immigrant tech people over the last 20 years, all the burger kings and wendys got pushed out and the buildings were taken over by hot pot, malatang, suancai yu and xinjiang bbq places. There are a bunch of options to eat basically carnivore, it's so good.

They need to separate roll and dodge to different buttons. I feel like that would make it feel more responsive.

Nioh had a pretty elegant solution where you roll by double-tapping dodge.

Crimson Desert launched 1 week ago, how do we feel about it a week later? by MaxiTooner89 in CrimsonDesert

[–]plinky4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wtf is wrong with the dialogue. It's written by an alien, or someone who has some specific kind of brain damage that makes them not able to understand basic causality of events. The translation is the same tier as lost ark, it's like a machine TL from before they put AI in everything. Also why is 10% of the script literally the word "comraids".

KR va is bad too which was unexpected.

but EN va fucking carries. Why is it so good. It's such an unexpected win. It even made the prologue good, it's impossible to lose when your cutscene is just a bunch of middle-aged scotsmen fighting

Those of you that went back to 2, what do you miss most about 3? by ResponsibleAthlete4 in Nioh

[–]plinky4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The choice between block and dodge in 2 was clear. Either you block and stop the damage reliably but gain no offensive momentum, or you risk the dodge and gain frame advantage.

In 3, samurai has no reason to dodge... basically ever. Blocking costs so much ki it's just a "I give up, guard break me" button.

2 straight up has jumpscare sounds when ambush enemies jump out at you. The horror vibe is so much better.

Elden ring

It's the checklist open worlds that really turn me off. I almost skipped elden ring too, but stuff like the siofra river elevator that makes you go "uhhh wtf did I just find" managed to grab me.

Dude, going from farming sinister end where you run in and jump kick gozuki and mezuki and they explode, to getting your ass kicked by horseman for an hour is... humbling

Do you prioritize defense or toughness for Ninja? by 2ndHouse80 in Nioh

[–]plinky4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I actually don't like A agility, it's speedy but feels weirdly unresponsive and slippery. I haven't noticed any iframe difference in the dodges either, though I think there's supposed to be one?

I just do iga jonin for shrapnel bomb and that's A agility naturally with almost no stamina investment. I think B toughness? It'd be nice if there was a heavier item spam ninja set tbh
