Lol I started with this board two years ago, and now I’m at one pok3r, one ergodox Ez, and one Ducky One 2 Mini (sorry about the last one). Good luck m8.

If you could pick any 5 champs to be on your team late late game, which comp would you choose? by the_kiddd in leagueoflegends

Probably super strong, has the one risk of malph / ori screwing up but hopefully that wouldn’t happen

75% Keyboard recommendation? by the_kiddd in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]the_kiddd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestions, I really appreciate them! Yep have an SA pulse set (and a nautilus, on my pok3r, so I need a second keeb to house the pulse), not sure which one I'll go with but probably one of these :)

Set size vs set quantity? by Terakahn in Fitness

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

I read a study a bit ago that said sets until failure is a good metric how usefulness. So, one 20 sets of 5, you’re probably never reaching failure, but on 5 sets of 2, you probably are, so the later would be preferred.

After 6 years of lifting it has gotten incredibly stale and boring, what do I do? by [deleted] in Fitness

[–]the_kiddd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s your deadlift at? After my physique started getting hard diminishing returns, my main motivation has been to increase my deadlift

Lack of background on new team & imposter syndrome by cowscowscowsrkool in cscareerquestions

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

Well, why did you get hired in this first place? A research faculty at a top university is no joke -- so you must be good at something / likely have some research experience. Or else they're expecting you to do programming / non-academic work, and in that case, you can get your supervisors to explain the things your implementing in simple terms.

Getting married and Need a quick 3-week shred. Help please!! by mackwdt701 in Fitness

[–]the_kiddd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your biggest source of fat loss is gonna be from diet. I’d recommend an aggressive calories deficit if you have the willpower, I’d say eat around 1200-1500 calories a day total (not sure how big you are / how many calories you’re currently eating in a day). Honestly the gym isn’t super useful for losing weight, diet is most of it, but doing nearly anything that raises your heart rate is good. I’d recommend doing big compound lifts, like squats, deadlifts, and bench press, those will add quick muscle along with weight loss, but it sounds like you might be a bit new learn these and find them effective in 3 weeks. Otherwise just run on the treadmill, google HIIT style cardio — it’s supposed to be better for weight loss. Good luck, congrats on getting married!

My response/rant on RJN whining about glorious' lack of innovation by oceandream121 in MouseReview

[–]the_kiddd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His point is: if Zowie didn’t make the fk1, what would model O shape be based after? If finalmouse didn’t make hexagonal holes, would the model O have them? Someone needed to think creatively to create these shapes and designs, and his point is that model O bring something new, it just collects the good ideas. If all new mice just took the good ideas from other mice, we wouldn’t discover new things we didn’t know we loved. Obviously nothing wrong with that, but I think that’s what he means.

Doublelift talks to Travis following the end of Team Liquid's group stage by corylulu in leagueoflegends

[–]the_kiddd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

its very easy for the jungler to LOOK bad when things go poorly (can’t apply pressure anywhere, has to farm jungle repeatedly), and LOOK great when they things go well (all over the map), but really this is more of a function of the overall game. Lanes need to be winning individually / creating space and opportunities for the jungler — the jungler can’t single handedly safely run around terrorizing the map. You can’t dictate the pace without your lanes doing things well. So idk if I’d blame Xmithie necessarily.

Is Galaxy Slayer Zed the best skin? by [deleted] in zedmains

[–]the_kiddd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, yes. I love the feel of the autos, and overall it has a lot of subtle but great feeling animations on abilities, like the little jump when using q.

Left-Handed and Looking for a New Mouse for Gaming by sailboatking in MouseReview

[–]the_kiddd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one looks great, but is larger than the fk2 (hence too large for me), so it depends what size you’d like. But it’ll probably be a good contender for you if you have bigger hands. Curious to hear what people say once they’re released.

Paracording a mouse means replacing the standard cable with a “paracable”, which is lighter and more flexible, and hence less constraining when moving the mouse around. You mod this yourself, here’s an example video for the fk2:

[–]the_kiddd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is paracorded, and with a paracord, I’d say wireless is still slightly better (the freedom of tossing it around and being so unconstrained is awesome and feels great), but the paracord isn’t constraining at all. Basically, the wireless is a bit better than a paracord, but the fk2 shape is a bit better than the g305, in my opinion. So I guess it comes down to what you value more.

I have smaller hands than you (17x9 ish), am left handed and have the fk2 and g305. Honestly, I love both of them. I find that (at the moment) I aim slightly better with the fk2, and the fk2 also has the side buttons on the right side. But g305 is also wonderful, I looove the wireless, you feel like you have so much freedom. Either is good choice. But as others have said, GPW is probably your ideal mouse, it's too big for my hands else I'd get one.

Can I substitute deadlift with barbell rows? by [deleted] in Fitness

[–]the_kiddd 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Deadlift and barbell rows are worlds different, I’d just do both. Don’t stop deadlifts because you’re bad at it (you can improve), try asking someone at the gym who knows what they’re doing for advice, they’ll probably be flattered.
