My child watched this one about a year ago and I agree as far as TV slop goes, it's pretty good. Netflix has so much trash on it that we have a rule that he needs to get our approval before going on it and watching anything (I don't even have it on his tablet), and this one was pretty easy to say yes to.

Man, OK. This makes me feel a little better haha

Say what you will about Apple, I gave them a couple hundred bucks almost fourteen years ago and I can just use their video editing suite as much as I want and they give me every updates on the reg.

I missed this game when it first came out, but my child heard a lot about it at school so we got it for him and I saw it was co-op so I was like, "cool, a game we could play together." Holy shit do I not understand this game at all. I beat all of base Elden Ring solo, no on-line help, but I die within the first ten minutes of being in this game. I'm guessing it's just something you have to be properly wired for or something and I am decidedly not.

The closest Culver's to me is over 250 miles away and it makes me so sad. Luckily, I get to the midwest once a year or so and get to partake.

Certainly don't want to diminish anyone that is proud of benching two plates and isn't acing like a jackass about it. Reaching your personal goals is a very positive part of lifting. But acting like people choose to be "weak" and that makes them "lesser" when He's probably not even in the top lifters in an average commercial gym anywhere in the country is pretty pathetic.

My man talking like he's some sort of He-man when his bench PR is, as of two days ago according to his twitter, a whole two plates.

I've had this song in my head all day despite not having heard it in forever. Wild to see it posted on here now. Great track.

This whole soundtrack rules. That Filter + Crystal Method track is arguably my favorite from both those bands.

Basically. He's your typical swing voter. Went for Trump in 2016. Was keenly watching the 2024 primaries from the Republican side (Vivek and Hayley booster), but once Trump had it stitched up, seemed to support Biden. If you go back to the 2020 Democratic primary he actually supported Bernie when it was down to Bernie and Joe. Just all over the map.

Overall, wouldn't trade my home gym for much. But I do miss the community you get from going to a public gym. I met so many people I otherwise would never have met. Like a dance professor that had the same lifting schedule as me or the time USMNT player Ben Olsen brought some academy players in on a random day. I don't miss feeling rushed on equipment, or the commute to and from the gym, or being lectured for "dropping" weights when I do Pendlay Rows, but I do miss the community.

Roth always elevates the podcast when he's on. And Felix actually seemed engaged for this one, talking a lot of their favorite 2016 sickos in the Trump orbit.

I played last year after a pretty big gap (not 15 years, but close) and honestly it does not hit the same at all. Was thankful, it was pretty easy to put down compared to Vanilla and Burning Crusade. Just seems so streamlined now, I feel like I'm on a conveyor belt of various line fills up.

Really have liked Alice Longyu Gao since I heard of her through that track she had Oli Sykes on. Wish she leaned into that screamy, heavy stuff a little more, but most of what she does is enjoyable regardless.

I really enjoyed the game circa 2014 or so. The game. The player base has individuals that are as toxic as reputation gives. But the matches were actually fairly slow paced and movement creep hadn't gotten incredible yet. Something very strategic about how the phases of the game went. The heroes were deep enough that you could become good with them on a level that impressed, but not so much so that you couldn't rotate between good "counters" to opponent's choices. I actually enjoyed how long the matches were. I usually only played when 2+ friends were also playing to mitigate the toxicity, but I had a blast doing it.
I remember a while back on here someone was asking how to get to a standing ab wheel rollout and today this video came into my timeline and it has some things I personally used along with some ideas I think are pretty inventive, especially putting a band around yourself.

At the more entry levels of filmmaking, nothing separates the wheat from the chaff faster than sound. Not only is it very underrated by a lot of budding, amateur filmmakers, but it's so easy to get wrong and so difficult to get right. A lot like finding a drummer for a fledgling band, finding a good sound designer is super hard to find, but so important.

I am happy that, for the most part, the computer handles the Pathfinder crunch, but I agree it is a bit much. I even have GM'd Shadowrun tables for like a decade now and find Pathfinder to be too much crunch haha

Oh, wow. I knew WotR and Kingmaker were very buggy too, but I didn't realize the turn based mode was a mod! Wild. Especially since Rogue Trader only really has turn based.

I hear you on that. I haven't had a crashing bug that stopped me completely, but I've never had a game crash as much as Rogue Trader does. But, in some way I almost appreciate that because it stops me from playing a bit. It's the type of game I could really get sucked into and the crash pulls me out and lets me to other things with my 'me' time of the day. But maybe it just shouldn't crash and I should have more self discipline haha
It's a wholesale rip-off of Jet Set Radio, but SEGA has barely touched the franchise in 20 years so you snooze, you lose. Actual cyberpunk story and isn't even named Cyberpunk. Maybe a little too easy, but hey, games are power fantasies, right? Nice, tight, single player experience. No skin store, no micro transactions, no games as a service filler. 60 fps on my Switch. Doesn't get much better than that.
At the risk of certain officers of the law being called in, specifically looking for, lack of a better term, horny electronic music. Nothing wild lyrically, just stuff that's low key hot. Women vocalists, please. Examples: [cyber milkchan - Condensed Milk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJqTkqyiOHI) [Nero - Draw Energy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQOzACXdohc) I'm not super familiar electronic music, so hit me with the most normie shit in the world if you'd like. I probably haven't heard it.
Specifically when it comes to hypertrophy.
Now Eventually You Do Plan to Have Cyberpunk In Your Cyberpunk Game Franchise, Right?
Thanks to [@artificialset@hexbear.net](https://hexbear.net/u/artificialset) who posted their collab with Purity Ring, introduced me to be the band. I normally listen to hardcore punk and metal. Not sure why this noise pop group did it for me.
Seems like Scott has some major health issues. Really sad news all around.
Just wanted to recommend this free program from Stronger by Science if you're looking for a powerlifting based program. It's a little wonky, the 28 "programs" are basically modules for the press (bench or overhead), deadlift and squat divided up by frequency, intensity and/or volume. You then combine them together for a program. I have an incredibly hard time building upper body strength and size. My legs have always been good to me, I hit a 440 lbs squat during this for example. But I have never seen my arms peak above 16 inches around until after two months on this program where I went from about 15.75 to about 16.25 inches or so. My legs also blew up over 27 inches around now, and that's fine and all. But it's summer. Suns out, guns out and all that. Just wanted to pass it on if anyone is looking to for a change up in their lifting.
