I just picked up Halls of Torment again and ended up some how playing around 10 hours this weekend…it is alright.

Reminds me of chatting in RA2 lobbies and asking people “what is pen10 + pen5?”

Getting a response of pen15 and then swiftly followed by a “user was banned” system message.

This is too vague to give an in depth answer as we don’t know your ultimate goals or your diet as a whole but not eating before working out isnt bad. Some diets such as intermittent fasting involves fasted work outs.

Changing both your diet and work out habits can be hard, especially if you do it all at once which can become demoralising and hard to maintain over the long term.

I encourage you to research different approaches towards your ultimate goal and make smaller changes over time with a view of changing your outlook on food and exercise for the long term and making it stick.

Sorry, should have done so, something like this Nike one.

I believe I currently use a Sondico one which was much cheaper but equally as good as Nike is fairly over priced IMO and you are paying for the logo more than anything.

As someone else mentioned I would recommend a compression type base layer. You can get slightly different thickness ones that will help in different temperatures.

I had a Nike DRI Fit one that lasted for 10 years, and would have lasted me longer if I hadn’t left it on the roof of my car at one point and lost it. You can get far cheaper ones as well though, my current one cost me around £15 and has lasted me 5 years so far and hasn’t stretched out of shape or have any holes in so far and I use it pretty much everyday during the winter ones.

They keep air flowing and move sweet away from your skin to keep you dry as wetness will make you colder.

In my opinion morino wool is one of the worst things I have tried. They make you sweat a lot more, dont move the wetness away from your skin exacerbating the problem and making you feel very uncomfortable and fall apart in no time when compared to compression garments.

I’d say save your expensive wool for some when else.

For other layers I tend to use a cotton t shirt over top the compression layer, maybe two t shirts if it is very cold and then add in things like gloves, something to cover your neck and face and then a wool hat of somekind.

It is always best to be able to remove these layers where possible whilst you are running. In time you’ll find what works with you. I’d often start out with a few more layers for that initial start then once you get going progressively remove stuff until comfortable. I’d always rather be very slightly cold then too warm when running.

Journey - This game brought me to a sort of Zen, it is calm and peaceful and was just a wonderful experience that didn’t out stay its welcome. By the end of it I just felt like I had had a nice uplifting experience.

Fallout games - Yeh this may not seem like an uplifting game experience for most people and I would generally agree but on a personal level I do find them uplifting by the end of them for the following reason. I have always picked up the modern fallout games when I have been quitting one substance or another in the past. There is something about the desolation of the people and the environment within those games with mirrors the desolation I felt withing myself at these times in my life. Working through the stories draws me in and helps me forget about whatever it is my body is telling me I “need” even if it is only for a few hours at a time. Multiple times though these games have helped me get through those feelings and so therefore for me they have a certain uplifting quality, like a weird unexpected safe space.

Nah I’ve never had issues with latency and don’t play anything competitive I’ve always just prefered wired to be honest. My favourite controllers were the wired 360 controllers that got rid of the massive bump at the back and were a really nice weight. I wish they did an official modern wired only version.

Yeh it was the text that was throwing me. I’ve customised my own controllers with different coloured buttons etc before so that part was easily explainable but the text is professionally added and I never knew that was a thing people did (seems like a waste of money to me)

Turns out it is a design labs custom one as per the other responses though. Learn something new every day!

Yeh this one cost me £4 and came with a recharchable battery pack. I’ve always used my controller wired (playing on PC) but now maybe I’ll try wireless!

Cheers man for the reply. Yeh it seems like this is the case I just didn’t know that it was a thing.

I’ve bought coloured buttons and modded my own controllers before but it was the text on the bottom that was throwing me as it has been professionally added! I didn’t know that design lab was a thing :)

Not that I knew of and apparently it is a custom made one as per the other responses. Til

Yeh, it is unfortunstely a micro USB controller but it cost me £4 with a recharable battery pack inside so I’m not gonna complain at all. Just didn’t know where it had come from! Thanks for the reply :)

Cheers for the reply! Looks like it is custom after all :D

I knew custom controllers were a thing but honestly the quality looked too good that I presumed it wasn’t a custom one. Thank you for the reply though! Solves that mystery :D

Thank you for the info, I just presumed it wasn’t custom as it looked too well done and I wasn’t aware of this service. Thanks so much for the reply!

Wow, someone else that actually feels the way I do about these things, particularly the eating part. The whole process of preparing, cooking and eating food feels like such a waste of time to me, I wish I could just take a pill or supplement that actually gave me everything I needed as if I were eating a healthy balanced diet and then maybe eat one meal a week for the actual taste of food.

I agree, Lemmy as a whole is rammed full of bullshit US politics and I’m tired of reading about it. The fewer, relevant communities this shit gets posted to, the better IMO.

Right? I learnt to skate before YouTube and tutorials were a thing. Just a few tips from someone who was knowledgeable probably would have help me nail Ollie’s years quicker xD

If you’d watched the video then you’d realise these aren’t “pupils”, this is a guy with a lot of experience in the sport passing on tips and help to the local kids at the skatepark. That is exactly how people used to learn this sport before it being mainstream and how a lot of people still do I’m sure. He is more than able to give kids help and they will appreciate it a shit load coming from someone obviously good at the sport.

Also the goal in skating is never to “not hurt yourself”, sure ideally you don’t want to hurt yourself but it is a sport that when learning you are inevitably going to hurt yourself and you need to accept that. On the whole your take is pretty shitty man.

This link may help you with that :)
