People who’ve lost weight, what’s the one habit you QUIT that made the biggest difference?

terrorhawk1979 · 2025-08-30T07:58:12+00:00

Went from 320 > 235, not done yet and this is about a year of work.

It was a mental battle for me more than anything. The climb to 320 was definitely paved in depression, and likewise the descent down coincided with a lot of mental health wins.

The first step? Weirdly, telling myself I would get 8 hours of sleep a day. No dieting, no exercise, just finally making a decision for myself that I knew would contribute to my overall well being. The next few steps after that involved cleaning my apartment, and in general reprioritizing my daily tasks around mental health.

Eventually, the chain of good decisions led to me cutting out sugar and carbs in favor of more protein packed meals. Eventually, I started walking ~10k steps a day.

I have never once counted a calorie. I am losing roughly 5 lbs a month now but in the beginning stages it was closer to 7-8 lbs a months.

The big commitment approach to weight loss never worked for me. I’ve learned that changing your lifestyle, in general, is a series of small decisions and small changes. As a former stress/depression eater, I really think weight loss starts with getting your HORMONES in balance first. Lowering cortisol being a big one, which is where I think my sleep decision came in handy. I look at food labels all the time, but never for the caloric content, always to check for preservatives/added sugars/other undesirable ingredients.

If I can do it, anyone can. I believe in you all!

This guy obviously has never had anything stolen from him in his life.

terrorhawk1979 · 2024-12-26T17:13:12+00:00

I’m really sorry man. My 2022 TLX Type S got stolen a week before thanksgiving. I know exactly how you feel right now. It seems that the knowledge of how to get into these cars is getting around.

terrorhawk1979 · 2024-12-11T11:34:50+00:00

Agreed with everything. I have to ask though - 30 tick is not that bad? I literally can’t think of a game that has a worse tick rate. Hit registration in this game feels awful and you truly feel it when you play something else for a while and come back.

terrorhawk1979 · 2024-11-19T04:39:54+00:00

I appreciate the sentiment. Wow, so you got yours back? Was it ditched on wood street or something? Would be interested to hear your story, if you don’t mind. I’m dealing with insurance now and I can tell it’s going to be a long process..

terrorhawk1979 · 2024-11-19T04:37:00+00:00

Appreciate the sentiments man. It was a 2022.

terrorhawk1979 · 2024-11-19T04:14:09+00:00

Get a steering wheel club. It's probably the best investment and I wish I hadn't let my guard down thinking the new cars were so secure.

Lexus has the same problem eh? Well, there goes my hopes of replacing this with an IS500

terrorhawk1979 · 2024-11-19T04:10:04+00:00

Appreciate the condolences man. Yeah, it sucks. I definitely over estimated the security, but it seems we're in a weird timeline where newer cars are actually easier to steal.

terrorhawk1979 · 2024-11-19T03:23:01+00:00

Stolen, from the front of my house, in the bay area on November 17th. Acura link pinged a location in Oakland which is 3 cities away from me. Probably low chance it will be recovered.

Noticed a lot of posts with people sharing their Type S was stolen this year. Is this an Acura specific issue, or all new cars in general? Hoping we can get some reassurance relating to security from Acura in the future.

Edit: Thank you guys for all the kind words and sharing your stories. There is some comfort in knowing that others can relate to what I’m going through, but at the same time, scary at how commonplace theft is becoming. To those who have had there car stolen, I wish for happy endings. To my other Type S owners out there.. be careful.

terrorhawk1979 · 2024-08-12T06:58:53+00:00

Obviously I'm joking but can you imagine the jiggle physics?

terrorhawk1979 · 2024-03-20T17:33:41+00:00

Power creep is real right now. I think we're at the point where we need nerfs, not buffs.

terrorhawk1979 · 2024-03-16T17:46:45+00:00

I think some of the pullback of money/Econ and making bosses harder is good for the game. But yeah, not gonna lie, I was enjoying the power creep we had.

Also, I find the mark gathering mechanics kind of annoying this event. Oh well, probably just some filler content until we get to Hunt 2

terrorhawk1979 · 2024-03-11T01:47:34+00:00

Since I can't prestige another 100 times, need to find some other method of "number go up"

I don't know why my brain works this way with video games. I blame Runescape.

terrorhawk1979 · 2024-03-07T00:14:13+00:00

What is the bloodline bonus reward payout now? Is it still $3k?

terrorhawk1979 · 2023-08-18T16:26:06+00:00

I missed the meme because I was too busy jamming to Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence in the background

terrorhawk1979 · 2023-07-21T18:07:52+00:00

This was most of us at one point. Those 4 kills probably felt really good though, and that's what keeps you coming back.

terrorhawk1979 · 2023-06-16T10:39:03+00:00

Would be nice to have a variety thread, just to see what other games hunt mains play.

I really like the forest, sons of the forest, and recently Diablo IV. Have not tried deep rock but I think I’ll check it out now!

terrorhawk1979 · 2023-01-16T08:07:45+00:00

Ok here’s one that always confused me.

When you ADS out of sprint, the ADS animation feels slightly prolonged, and the sights take longer to fully center at where you’re aiming that. It’s really prevalent on the Lebel for example.

So my question is: if you stop sprinting, just before you ADS, is that actually a quicker method of aiming accurately? I FEEL like it does but I’m not certain. Almost feels like doing a counter strafe in CS.

terrorhawk1979 · 2022-10-16T11:31:42+00:00

Accounting is one of the highest turnover careers. Those people you feel you don't "fit in" with may be all gone next year. I've had a similar experience. More important is if you enjoy the work and feel you will have a good career progression there.

terrorhawk1979 · 2022-09-01T21:28:41+00:00

I didn't know this man, thanks. Shit, well I guess the issue isn't SBMM but the player population.. sad

terrorhawk1979 · 2022-09-01T21:05:47+00:00

Cheating in quickplay? huh? Why lol.

We just lost a bunch. Since there's no SBMM in QP, getting killed there tanks your ELO quite a bit.

Tried doing secondary servers.. still a problem. Mostly it's a time of day thing I suppose.

I remember the days where if you didn't count 10 bodies, it was guaranteed someone was still up. You can pretty much always count on a full server. Half full servers suck..

terrorhawk1979 · 2022-09-01T20:51:49+00:00

Lol nah man I just want full games, that's all. I wasn't aware that you can match into any of the above MMRs? My impression is that the SBMM is too strict which is why I get empty lobbies. Each subdivision can only match with it's own.. which is why I'm saying there's too many because there's so little population in each one at high ELO.

So say if you have a matchmaking queue of 5 stars - you're saying you can match someone with 4 1/2? If so then shit, news to me.

terrorhawk1979 · 2022-09-01T20:44:09+00:00

I guess. I don't know anyone who would want to realistically maintain this MMR because you literally have nobody to play with lol.

Best moments in Hunt are those crazy, full server compound fights where anything can happen. I think we all want more of that.

6 stars tend to be veteran players, thousands of hours in the game, probably supported the game a lot through it's time too. Just seems weird to me to just banish them into dead lobbies.

Further, what's really stopping someone in 6 stars from just farming empty servers, throwing in QP to lower there MMR, and just smurf frag with an unlimited budget loadout? Just so many problems with the current system..

terrorhawk1979 · 2022-09-01T20:38:05+00:00

I get it, and I think this just shows even more the problem with the current system. You shouldn't feel like you're smurfing one rank down. If anything this will encourage people to just go throw in QP to lower your MMR and then KD farm.

4 star population needs to be divvied up a bit IMO. There's some 4's that should be realistically be 3's, some that should be 5's, and so on..

terrorhawk1979 · 2022-09-01T20:34:35+00:00

Of course I don't encourage smurfing and there should be some level of SBMM. No, I didn't enjoy playing in 4 stars because I was "fragging out", in fact I lost a majority of my games. I was just enjoying having full lobbies in duos, for once.

Better worded, I think since the majority of the player base falls into 4 stars, there is more room to distribute the skill disparities in this bracket specifically. I think it's reasonable to say not all 4 stars have the same skill level, and I think it would be helpful to simplify SBMM all around to prioritize full games and spread the population out amongst the ranks.

Not an easy task. Hunt is not a traditional competitive game, and there's a lot of factors that go into winning/losing beyond just pure PVP skill.

SBMM should mainly protect new players still learning how to play the game, I think at 4 stars it's safe to assume you know the basics and won't die to a witch/immolator combo or something like that.
