the Charging system needs to go. It's no wonder that the ways to break the game involve bypassing it. Absolutely not, imo. The delayed effect is something I've often found useful, like casting a spell on an ally, then having ally move for optimal placement of the spell. The charge time of some spells (especially the strong ones like Bahamut or Meteor) is a little too long for personal tastes, even with the Short Charge support, but that's a minor thing in the scheme of things. Making all magic (and the Aim skillset, I suppose) instant worsens the gameplay. ~ Being a massive fan of FFT, and as one who thoroughly enjoyed most everything the Tactics Ogre Remaster offered (yes, including the level caps), I'm massively hyped for this. --- Remember that I won't rest, 'til we share the same tense Just know, to me, you're better late than never again. |

a little bit frustrated because Ive been stuck in the 237ish range for days now. Went and did pretty much only weights today Yeah, it sucks sometimes. Again, just stick with it. Even if you weigh yourself daily at the same time (first thing in the morning, post-piss) your weight will always fluctuate like +/-2 lbs between poop and salt/carb intake and other water retention stuff (or if you were drinking the night before, for a somewhat dehydrated state). When someone first starts a weight loss journey, they tend to cut out a lot of salt and carbs (less fast food, e.g.) which makes their weight plummet like 10 lbs over 3 weeks. Then the fun grind actually starts, and -1 lb per week is a good and healthy pace. So stalling for a few days is no big deal. It happens. It doesn't necessarily mean you need to be even more active or cut even more calories. The occasional "ratcheting" still needs to periodically occur, but not yet imo. --- Remember that I won't rest, 'til we share the same tense Just know, to me, you're better late than never again. |

And yeah Im more concerned with burning calories and fat atm than muscles. Then you're pretty good on your current scheme! Like I said, stick with it and you'll eventually see results. Personally speaking, you'll start seeing results in the mirror at about a month and friends and family will see your progress at about the 3 month mark. To further emphasize a point -- you burn more fat by doing a combination of diet and exercise more than diet alone. Which, you're doing, so bravo.

I'm wondering if it's better to do more reps with lighter weights or less reps with more weights tho depends on your goals. If you wanna get a lot of muscles (hypertrophy), sets in the 5 to 12 range is fine. If you're focusing on burning calories and increasing endurance, >12 is also pretty awesome. 100 reps is probably excessive, and you can get the same thing (calories burned with muscles fatigued, with rest to promote growth and gains) done in less time. But, aiming for 100 reps isn't necessarily bad either. If you do indeed knock out 100 reps, great! Next session aim for 101 reps or go for 100 reps at 72.5 lbs or whatever. --- Remember that I won't rest, 'til we share the same tense Just know, to me, you're better late than never again. |

It's a pretty solid action RPG. Most builds are pretty straight forward with your basic generating Class Resource, your Core ability consuming class resource, and then 3ish other abilities with timed cooldowns. There's an array of viable* playstyles. Graphics are pretty good, cinamatics are amazing per standard Blizzard. *Peak 5% of the content calls for some heavy min-max stuff with on-meta enhancements. You're fine doing your own thing for 95% and being good enough with any modicum of synergy and self style preference Once you're "locked in" with your desired skill tree and abilities the gameplay can get a little same-y as you just push up towards higher levels and more difficult dungeons and trying to farm up better gear. I like it more than Path of Exile(!), but the last time I played it was 2016-ish with the Maps system.
