Nice, I've also started watching my calory intake and moving more.
Frequently go for a walk together with my wife after dinner now.
Instead of having a friend come pick me up to go to our dnd session I now bike the 17km there and back, takes me about 45-50 minutes so less than 2 hours total.
Lost 2kg in the last two weeks.
I have no clue how much I lost since I started because I forgot to weigh myself and don't really care about the weight, just about feeling healthier and my clothes fitting better.
1.73cm and 86.7 kg as of this morning.

# crimson inlet I've picked up swimming recently

I picked up swimming when I was like 3 years old
Absolutely loved it
Hopped in any body of water any chance I got
Didn't know how to swim
Almost drowned several times
But usually my brother was there to push me up for air once in a while

I watched some YouTube videos and copied them Ragnar_laugh

#

My brain won't let me do swan dives though (is it called swan dive even, just a regular jump headfirst dive)

Aw that's so wholesome, everyone getting healthier together. Kamap biking 17km each way is seriously impressive, and walking after dinner sounds really nice. Blues your effort paying off with better swimming is great too!

It is. Not that there’s any correlation but since EA I’ve been into lifting weights and have lost over 65 lbs. would love to learn to swim this sumner haha.

Oh wow, 65 lbs is incredible! That's so much dedication. And learning to swim this summer sounds like such a fun goal, especially with Blues' YouTube method working so well for them. You could totally do it.

Mornin' Asatru, just come back from a 2 hour drake boxing session?

I always used to go for a run 6-7 days a week to stay healthy and to not be as restless in the evenings (ADHD moment), but started to replace 2-3 of those days with going to the gym, feels good.

Only issue is I'm on a 1 month business trip rn with a limiting schedule and gym locations :/

I havent played either ramake but I've watched them enough, as I recall they tried to make the dodges scripted quick-time events, which did suck, but I remember there was a way to cheese it with walls. Nemesis was meant to be even more of an environmental hazard than mr. x, and they succeeded in that, but that doesnt make for a good game necessarily. What is your favorite re game?

i didnt played the original games so im kinda new to the fandom but i could say re4 remake is so far i liked i played re2 re3 currently playing and re4

#

watched the village and re7 mostly i got scared :3

yeah much higher standard, re4 is everyones favorite so they absolutely couldnt mess that up. I like 2 and 3 because I like the environments, I was super psyched for outlast but that sucked, big disappointment.

depends how skilled at avoiding attacks you are with the armour

you can try that, up to you, as long as you use mostly mountain tier foods

Idk what I did in my game but raids are no longer popping up. It's been about 70days since the last raid

But raids are mostly RNG, by default 20% chance every 46 minutes near player base structures.

They happened a lot when I first started

But after beating the second boss they stopped

That was on day 30ish

I'm on day 176 now

I'll ask in the other channel so I don't flood this one

storm anchor
#

Sometimes that can happen if lucky/unlucky, depending on perspective. cryingsmile

wanton brook
#

Fuck I need that emote

storm anchor
#

Usually spending more time at your base increases the chances for raid to occur.

wanton brook
#

Ooooh that would make more sense

#

We have branched out and aren't at base very much anymore

storm anchor
#

Or if you have defeated the 3rd boss, one specific raid can happen anywhere in 4th and 5th biomes.

wanton brook
#

We did defeat the 3rd boss

storm anchor
wanton brook
#

After basically being reset back to 0

#

My stats took a HUGE hit during that boss fight

storm anchor
#

Base building can be large part of the game for many, so people spending their time building and farming might encounter raids more often.

storm anchor
wanton brook
#

Yeah lmao

#

I got him stuck behind trees and just launched arrows at him...... I realized it too late that the whole time he was stuck he was throwing out slimes and skellies

I pelted him by myself for about an hour and when I thought I was safe to leave and repair my bow I hopped off my tree only to be mobbed out by a sea of green and white

storm anchor
#

You probably found out arrows didn't do lots of damage against him?

wanton brook
#

I was using silver arrows

#

Not much more damage

#

Took about 600 or so arrows

storm anchor
#

Other mountain tier arrows would have dealt higher damage.

wanton brook
#

.....

storm anchor
#

||Frost||.

wanton brook
#

I figured silver would've been the best since it was an undead creature

#

We had a chest full of those and my buddy prepped hard for that fight only for me to go out on my own and get him almost dead

#

It was a fun and very chaotic fight and since we were next to the plains we had spear goblins on us too

#

On hard they hit like trains

storm anchor
#

Oops. kek

wanton brook
#

Maybe died 50+times ngl

I'd say silver arrows are okay to craft out of any metal arrows since there is not much need for silver after mountains.

They can be effective in later game.

Here's an interesting tidbit: lefties are more likely to die in traffic accidents than righties, because they will more often swerve to the left and therefore into oncoming traffic, than a rightie will

We only know this because of baseball players because handedness is not tracked in traffic casualty reports

I'll give the Scots a pass though

Your instinct when making an emergency evasive maneuver is to pull down with your dominant hand

if i'm right handed, to what side should i hold paddle when paddling?

Actually the funniest story I have about left handedness is that growing up, my mother and sister were left handed. Me, my brother, and my father are right handed. So I believed that all women are left handed, and all men are right handed. It still seems weird to me to notice a left handed man.

Paddling in a boat, you have to be ambidextrous if you don't want to paddle in a circle.

Paddling a canoe with two means you should be on opposite sides.

And yes, you should be able to paddle on either side if you're canoeing.

Preferences, then, I guess. I can paddle equally well both sides, it's just more comfortable on my right.

i have much more finesse when on left side

i used my bottom hand to pull the paddle, there's no much space for fine movements there

gray crypt
#

Now, I should point out that I also carve my own paddles. My primary is a gorgeous voyageur style paddle with a huge blade, so I'm doing a lot less work with my arms than many do.

I used a $500 carbon fiber paddle on exactly one trip. Broke it in a rapids. Never again.

#

The thing basically exploded.

radiant nebula
#

They're really not good for that kind of abuse

gray crypt
#

I wouldn't use mine in rapids, too big.

#

but when you're doing a long trip on lakes or deeper rivers, the long blade makes steering so easy.

sonic pond

#

all it takes is one rock in the wrong place.

sonic pond
#

well i used mine for rapids specifically, all kinds of abuse etc

radiant nebula
sonic pond
#

i see, that can happen. IT's not meant to be used as leverage

radiant nebula

#

yeah. Carbon is super light and great for lots of stuff, but if you catch it just the wrong way, it's done.

gray crypt
#

Wood is heavier, for sure, but much more forgiving of abuse.

sonic pond
#

carbon is great as it pulls forward by itself after each stroke, as it can bend a little

radiant nebula
#

I can also repair and restore wood a lot easier with very simple tools

Field repairs are actually at least possible with wooden paddles

sonic pond
radiant nebula
#

It can happen pretty quickly in tougher rapids

sonic pond
#

i didn't often hit rock in this way though. but i hit rock quite often with a direct stroke when not visible under water

radiant nebula
#

ohh you mean the hitting of the rock, not the near-sinking of the boat

sonic pond
#

yes

#

i was doing some ww4 and ww5 rapids

#

ww5 only on raft to make it clear, i woudln't dare in kayak

radiant nebula
#

I'll do 3 on a wilderness trip, anything more than that and it just gets too risky when help is literal days away. Never done a 5 but I've done class 4 technicals in training courses

sonic pond

#

yah that too, with canoes loaded for three or four weeks

sonic pond
#

also annoying if you had to port

radiant nebula
#

annoying, yes, but so is retrieving all your gear in a current, and we aren't exactly bringing spare boats, either

sonic pond
#

if you have people on shore doing safety on difficult parts and people who can catch the boat and paddler, that's very different

#

i don't do such long trips and and there aren't long rivers that would allow for such trips that would also have rapids in here

#

there's some ww1-2 perhaps, so it's mostly just paddling, drinking and similar, in such cases

radiant nebula
#

They're all over the country here, and Ontario and Quebec are especially good for remote rivers

#

Probably why I got into it, it's just so accessible here

sonic pond
radiant nebula
#

I'd say probably 30% of the people I meet out there aren't from Canada

sonic pond
#

in Europe it's either long tamed rivers or difficult untamed ones and the interesting parts are short

#

but that varies also, people often go to Norway for paddling

#

if i wanted to do a long ass trek i'd go along Danube from start to finish

radiant nebula
#

Still a long way to go if you're not already there. Where I live you just strap a canoe or a few to a few cars, and drive 12 or so hours

#

Or I can go to Algonquin park for a weekend, only 3 hours away

#

There's just so much of it available here

Sometimes you can travel 12 hours and still be in the same Province!

sonic pond
#

did you mean you'd drive 12 hours?

radiant nebula
sonic pond
#

i'd cross 5 countries in 12 hours time

radiant nebula
#

One end of the country to the other is a whole week

cursive elk
#

Which still strikes me as bloody insane, and I live here even!

radiant nebula
#

Yeah it's pretty crazy when you think about it

gray crypt
#

It's more than a week.

radiant nebula
#

But man, you get out there, and look north, and think to yourself, dude, there's ten thousand miles of nothing in that direction...

#

I visited a freind in the very far north a few years ago, well past the tree line close to the arctic circle

gray crypt
#

When you think that we have the second-largest country in the world and 90% of us live within 100km of the US border.

radiant nebula
#

And holy shit, you have no idea that that much nothing can even exist

#

Hours and hours on a snowmobile, and... nothing

gray crypt
#

I call it gorgeous.

radiant nebula
#

Not so much as a shrub or tree or even a footprint

gray crypt
#

at least when you look up it is.

radiant nebula
#

Even the rivers have this odd iridescent blue hue to them, because they're completely dead. They're covered by snow 8 months of the year so not even algae can survive

gray crypt
#

yeah, but the night sky up there.

radiant nebula
#

Oh I thought I'd seen the northern lights before I went there

I had not
