Is people being naturally skinny actually a thing?
  • 10 years ago people told me the same thing about getting 30, yet it still hasn't happened. Whether that day may come or not, I can just appreciate that I still get "Once you're old..." kinda stuff after 30. Feels good, actually.

  • Is people being naturally skinny actually a thing?
  • I'm about 30 and still skinny. I eat at least 2,000 kcal a day, up to 3,000 kcal. I only get more weight by working out. Recently I've been injured and couldn't work out for several months. I dropped back to about 70 kg (I'm almost 1,90 m) - while eating the same amount of calories.

    Maybe I need to space out my calories, I only eat two meals and don't snack at all. These just happen to be really big meals.

    For the record, I've been checked for thyroid issues and other stuff. My body just really wants to stay at 70 kg, I guess.

  • Dragon Ball DAIMA - Episode 2 discussion
  • Yeah, now I'm curious if 18 is still an android. Some things did change back, others seemingly didn't.

    Only Trunks and Goten got new cloths for example, which kinda makes sense. I would have loved the old Vegeta or Piccolo cloths. They got rid of facial hair, but other than Krillin, nobody changed their hair style. At the very least, I would have guessed Bulma would have a different hair style.

  • Dragon Ball DAIMA - Episode 2 discussion
  • As for Roshi, his eyebrows reverted color. Maybe he was just bald?

    Could be. I did remember him having hair in Dragon Ball, but apparently that's filler. The manga only showed Roshi as a bald student under Mutaito.

  • Dragon Ball DAIMA - Episode 2 discussion
  • Shenron saying he only grants three wishes for returning customers confirmed my earlier sentiment that lore doesn't matter in Daima and they just do what's funny in the moment. There would have been easy explanations otherwise (it's only one wish due to the ritual or he doesn't have enough power for two more wishes since Dende is now an infant). So, I'll stop mentioning lore stuff.

    As for the actual episode: It was fine.

    I'm kinda sad neither Korin nor the turtle are considered 'friends of Goku' - at least that's how the wish was translated for me. As for the actual designs, I would have prefereed to have child designs and not just chibis. I guess the main difference here would be their hair, like Roshi for example having some. And of course their cloths, after all a lot of these characters already have cild designs.

    I'd like to know what's up with Gohan. Dende reverted back to an infant and Piccolo is a child now. Gohan should be inbetween them (ignoring their different aging process) - so which is he?

    Popo seems interesting, his horns are similar to an Oni, I guess. Up until now I'd have classified him as genie. More story on him would be great.

    I would have liked more time with the full cast, but I guess it's adventure time now.

  • US-Wahlkampf: Musk verlost eine Million für eine Unterschrift
  • Das ist nichts neues - Wahlkampf in den USA ist reinster Kapitalismus. Wenn man bestimmte Regionen gewinnen möchte, dann passt man nicht seine Inhalte an die Region an. Man investiert besonders viel Geld in seine Kampange dort.

    Wer keine absurde Summe über Monate hinweg investieren kann, der kann nicht Präsident werden.

    Wenn nur reiche Leute Politik für sich machen werden die auch nichts daran ändern um den Pöbel reinzulassen.

  • Japan man with 4 wives, 2 girlfriends aims to father 54 children, become ‘god of marriage’
  • One man, single-handedly fighting the declining birth rate in Japan.

    Questions of morality aside, he could probably help others too, finding multiple woman who not only like you but are fine with this kind of setup is quite a skill many would like to learn, I'd assume.

  • Does anyone else find binaural beats actually freaking psychoactive?
  • Just looking on youtube, you can find binaural beats for pretty much anything: inflammation cure, pain relief, changing your eye colour, finding love and becoming rich. All the ones I've looked at feature comments from people claiming they've helped them.

    They can't possibly do all of the above and I don't think there a studies proving anything but a placebo effect.

    And, without truly believing in them, they never had any effect on me. I've tried them in my youth.

  • [Discussion] Dragon Ball Daima Episode 1
  • It's a setback for sure. However, if they still have all their techniques, ki control, muscle memory and so on, they only lack in physical strength. Which should be the easiest one to train - like, just get a few zenkai boosts.

    On another note, did Gomah watch the entire Buu arc or only the stuff that was shown to us? If he saw everything, he'd know about the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, throwing a wrench into his plan. Depending on the cooldown between uses, they could be back to their original age in about a month to a year. Assuming they will still age.

    Of course, I don't actually mind if none of these things are addressed, as long as the overall adventure is good. After all, if they want to recapture the original Dragon Ball, it's partly a comedy anime and Gomah doesn't seem to be particulary smart.

  • [Discussion] Dragon Ball Daima Episode 1
  • I really don't know if I'm into it or not.

    I was kinda surprised they started after Z yet again. And, once again, with their own canon (see the potaras or the demon ear thing). However, I actually neither liked GT nor Super so maybe the third time's the charm?

    De-aging them all would be a great chance to finally shine some light on Trunks and Goten - or so I thought. Apparently, they're babies now. Bummer.

    The premise kind of makes no sense at all. While Goku might be a child again, I don't think he's back at his original power level - making the whole thing kinda pointless. Otherwise, there would be some wild differences in power between the main cast (admittedly, from this perspective they had to remove Trunks and Goten but like, Buu is still there).

    Do we get child Roshi? His turtle? Baba? Dr. Briefs? Poppo? King Kai? Yemma? Shenron? Where is the line drawn?

    Otherwise, the animation looks great and the demon realm has potential. I'm curious where this is going, but the very next episode could create a lot of problems, depending on how they handle the de-aging.

  • "Shocking": Bird-flu infected cattle dumped at California roadside
  • These cows, confirmed to have been infected with avian influenza (H5N1), were left exposed without any warning signs [..]

    They make it sound like piling dead cows on the roadside is perfectly fine if you just add some signage.

    I'm worried that wildlife could come into contact with them.

    Of course that's a concern! These poor creatures have no signage to read, which would tell them to stay away.

    With how conditions usually are, I'm actually amazed these people only created one pandemic during my lifetime (so far). The sheer amount of horrors created by them never fails to shock me.

  • Like tears in the rain.
  • As I started to hit a massive wall in the DLC, I started to look at helpful items. Turns out I never even saw Boggart in my first playthrough and in the second one... well, I currently did a fist weapon only run.

    And I never did his early quest to begin with, missed it both times and never knew he would sell stuff at all.

  • Decks for starting out

    Greetings!

    I'm fairly new to Master Duel and didn't play much Yu-Gi-Oh! in general for the past decade - you could say I'm a complete amateur.

    Now, I've done most of the solo mode stuff to get to know some more archetypes and played the current Theme Chronicles event to the point where I got all obtainable gems with the vendread loaner deck. Luckily, the loaner was actually quite good, so I didn't need to build a deck. (Got all gems with a 22:8 win ratio.)

    After all of this, I want to dive into ranked. For the solo mode stuff I've used an Endymion deck, which seems to be rouge at best - and I've only got the bare basics for the deck anyway (pretty much no extra deck). But now I have no clue which deck to go for. I don't know shit about the meta game and even less about the longterm viability of decks, as I don't want to spend all my ressources on building a deck that will banned soon anyway (like, Baronne seems like something that will be banned soon). Or worse, something that is simply unfun to play.

    I don't particually enjoy stun decks and I'm not into all or nothing combo decks ending on a board full of generic boss monsters (looking at the new superheavy stuff). Is there something viable to start building, ideally with a low power version to test the strategy, before commiting to pulling/crafting all cards needed? (like, Mannadium would take all my ressources and it's gamble if I'd like it)

    Got some minor troubles with Godot itself, am I missing settings?

    I'm just starting out with Godot and I've run into some strange or unwanted behaviors. Maybe some of you can help me fix them. I'm currently running Godot on arch linux with x11/i3 as my desktop environment.

    1.) Godot got some really aggressive focus. The editor grabs the focus mid typing in other applications and suddenly I'm tying there. With i3 being a tiling manager, Godot is sometimes passively resized when I resize another window - of course it also immediately gets itself focused and messed the resizing up.

    2.) The focus within Godot is even stranger. I can ctrl c + ctrl v nodes just fine on a freshly opened project. But once I've a clicked a single property in the import or inspector docker, ctrl c + ctrl v will work exclusively there. Even if the import docker is hidden underneath the scene docker where I'm clicking the nodes I want to copy/paste.

    3.) The last one is about using an external editor. Whenever Godot encounters a bug, it will automatically open the script in question. Which is annoying because I use vim for everything and will throw warnings at me, that the file has been changed. I've looked through all editor settings and tried setting vim as my external editor but the behavior persists.

    How would you rank the mainline games you've played?

    Basically, as the title says. I've got the itch to play another dragon quest game and would like to know how well regarded the ones are I didn't play yet compared to the ones I've played. Although I'll probably play IV in preparation for the upcoming DQM game, as I love those, maybe I've got time for two. Anyways, here's my list:

    1. DQ V (DS version)
    • It's got the overall best story thus far and includes monster taming, which I really liked. Overall just one of my favorite games.
    1. DQ VII (PS)
    • I'm oddly fond of VII. I'll acknowledge that it probably is not better than some of the following ones on paper, but it just clicked with me. I really like the beginning part of RPGs and VII got several of those with how disconnected it is at times.
    1. DQ XI (Switch)
    • I loved every second of XI and would probably rank it higher if the post-game wouldn't do what it does. While I really liked them later on, the Hero and both twins started off quite bland.
    1. DQ VIII (3DS)
    • The game itself is still really good, but it never grasped me with its story as the ones above did at times.
    1. DQ IX (DS)
    • IX never clicked with me at all. Having only silent no-names in you party already started off bad, but the overall story wasn't my cup of tea either. I generally like class systems, but this one didn't do it for me either.
