  1. Looks really good. The only problem I had with the last game was that they created a massive map, but the entire thing felt empty. I'm not sure how you resolve that, but I hope they do. Although I'm sure I will get this game regardless. Mostly because there are just so few next-gen games that appeal to me.


  2. Don't smoke weed. I know a young gentleman who is now Schizophrenic/schizophreniform as a result. Sleep deprivation and a combination of low mood can contribute to all of those signs. The only thing you've described is low concentration and mood. So get enough sleep and see how you feel. Try to do some of the things you normally enjoy.

  3. This is pretty much Dark Souls next-gen. Identical gameplay, mechanics, environments and ambiance. Not a bad thing though, I really enjoyed that game...

     

    Just kidding, I wanted to kill myself every 2 minutes. I'm pretty sure I went through depression because of Dark Souls.


    They should bundle this game with Citalopram.

  4. Yeah I've looked at it before, from my understanding there are a few variations but not sure if I can do it. I've seen the 16 hour overnight fast (basically skip breakfast), and the 5:2 fast (2 days <500 calories). Not sure if I can physically do it though. Which is why I'm just trying intermittent carb-only fasting (6:1). It's all about experimenting and seeing what works for you I suppose. The science behind dieting and exercise is sketchy most of the time.


  5. I've been trying to go very low carb diet, just to see if it'll help cutting and whether I can sustain it or not. This is roughly my plan for tomorrow:

     

    Meal 1: Americano, 2 scoop protein shake

    Meal 2 + 3: 500g chicken, 100g mixed leaf salad, 30g low fat cheese, 30g light mayonnaise, mixed together and seasoned with Tabasco sauce.

    Gym

    Meal 4: 2 scoop protein shake 

    Meal 5: 336g tuna, 100g brocolli

    Meal 6: 1 whole egg, 5 egg whites, 30g low fat cheese


  6. You're both experiencing 'delayed-onset muscle soreness' (DOMS). I personally tend to feel it most 2 days after a workout. However, the more you go to the gym the less you'll experience it. It'll come back if you take a break from the gym, start doing different exercises, or increase the intensity of your workout.

     

    With the deadlift, it's a full compound exercise so you'll feel it in a lot of muscle groups. Just make sure your form is good, have someone check it for you. I know that my form starts to go when I fatigue, so I have to be more conscious. Not sure why you'd feel it in your chest, might be from another exercise.

  7. Finally finished this game, including the DLC (which was quite short).

     

    On reflection, this is probably the best story told in a game. The execution of story and the likability of the two protagonists, as well as their character development throughout the game was the pinnacle of a masterpiece. The game play itself was very good, and I enjoyed the juxtaposition of calmness to chaos. 

     

    However, I found the perfectionist in me kept wanting to replay encounters to reserve the scarce resources. Although, the game became more enjoyable once I stopped caring about any of that and just shotgunned or bow an arrow'd anything in my way, with tact of course.

     

    Overall, brilliant.

  8. Got my deadlift to 120 kg (~265 lbs). Next target is three plates (140 kg/ ~310 lbs) on my 5x5. Not sure if I should go up in 2.5 kg increments, or 5 kg. per week. I only deadlift once a week, so thinking the former. Gonna start cutting from next week, the worst part of life. Any tips?
