Ok I admittedly am the last guy on earth that should ever comment on fashion. Im 48 and never once in my life bought an article of clothing based on brand or trends. Ive literally worn plain colored t-shirts that cost a couple bucks my entire life. Jeans when its cold, athletic shorts for spring, summer, and fall. So again I have no sense of fashion.

With that being said, you like this? It looks like youre a child wearing a onesie with covered feet lol. I cant believe anyone would actually want this haha. Thats hilarious.

I'm the total opposite in that fashion is all I buy. I own about 90 pairs of shoes atm. Some jeans I have retailed for 850 dollars and I spent 730 bucks on one pairs of shoes. Fashion is my hobby aside from coding and my closet is out of control lol. Next thing I want to buy is a GIANT faux fur coat I saw on sale.

I guess the thing is I'm not afriad to wear stuff that most people would not consider. These are ridiculous shoes I admit, but stuff like this starts conversations haha.

Sorry guy but those are ugly asf. Definitely not worth whatever you paid for em lol.

I mean 20 bucks is pretty cheap lol

Lmao!

Naw, it didn't. I may have fluffed it up a bit.

It's really just 'Shoes guy, EDM fan'.

Not really EDM per se, but I have been going crazy for Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas songs the past few months. Really an acquired taste but mannnnnn nothing else I've heard sounds like them

I dunno, what has self-proclaimed Hitler & Nazi lover Ye West had to say about the fit?

I made an oops lol, I thought you were the person who said they tagged me and that's what you tagged me as. My b lol. I was like no way gfaqs allows that many characters

I put you down as the Shoes guy, and a Fellow enjoyer of EDM.

Ayyyyyyy that's hype.

UnholyMudcrab posted...

But why

Because they were 20 bucks and I thought they looked cool for the price lol. Also, they fold into themselves so when I go traveling I now have an extra pair I can pack that take almost no space.

I mean I'm not gonna defend the dude, but I still like his music and the clothes he puts out lol

I bought the Yeezy Pods. Three pairs! I wore them for a bit today and are surprisingly comfy. Also bought a tee and the pants but the pants are so dumb. I bought a size 2 and they are still soooooo baggy. I can't picture ever wearing them so I am trying to sell it. Shirt is iffy but I might as well keep it just so I own something from vultures.

That sucks. Oh well, I won't be voting because I have no idea who either of these finalists are.

Nah, I love Halo Top

Anyway, did about another hour on the treadmill today and did some weights. I'm wondering if it's better to do more reps with lighter weights or less reps with more weights tho

Only played one game by them I really liked, Skyrim.

I played Fallout 4 and thought it was meh. I also played New Vegas which I knew was not made by them but I didn't care for it at all either.

I also played Starfield which I enjoyed for a bit, but it felt very processed. Like it was made to be made and did not have the same love and charm that I felt with Skyrim.

Okay, went to the gym again today and did a long workout. Burned about another 600 calories I would say. I only ate 447 for lunch so I ended the afternoon with negative caloric intake. For dinner, I had a low calorie meal of two grilled chicken breast, some sauteed onions and peppers, and then half a tub of Halo Top ice cream which is AMAZINGLY good and it's low calories since half the tub is only 180 calories.

I probably ended the day eating about 1000 calories more than I burned from working out alone. But once you take into account the calories you burn naturally I think I've been doing good at maintaining a deficit in calorie intake

Ah I see. I will have to see what my heart rate is when I workout tomorrow.

.Paak has made some bops. I think it was a good break during the height of mumble rap, but sure he isn't original for sure.

I discovered him because when I was working retail years we would play a bunch of songs and two of which I swear were the worst songs Ive ever heard in my life. One was an Anderson .Paak song because I saw his name on the playlist while the song was playing. The other was Something Big by Shawn Mendes. Cant remember what the .Paak song was called but it was abominable. Both made me hate those artists forever lol.

Someone explain zones to me because I have no idea what that means lol.

but yeah I had about the same amount of working out today as yesterday. I just did a straight hour on the treadmill at like 2.3 mph on a middle incline. Says I burned 612 calories and climbed 999 feet.

and my usual meal lately has just been grilled chicken with fried onions and peppers. Pretty much been eating it every day

Is it even controversial if I go Lady Gaga >>>>> Taylor Swift?? She is far and away the pop queen of 2008 to now.

This take is cold as fuck. Lady Gaga is so much better. I really don't see why Taylor is as big as she is. I've heard a ton of Taylor's music and 95% of it falls in the category of "Fine." I haven't heard anything by her that really impressed me or grabbed my attention. Other than her totally random feature with B.o.B. of all people because I like that song.

Cashmere Cat is my absolute favorite DJ but he rarely makes music anymore and never tours. He pretty much only produces now and that's so sad because Princess Catgirl is a 10/10 album in my mind.

yeezus fucking sucks

It does. And I love Kanye. But that album is not it

EDM or just electronic in general is the best genre of music and its not even close really. So much more variety than band guitar stuff.

I pretty much never interact with any of the music threads on CE because its always a bunch of old people jerking off to bands and guitar music, which all sound the same to me. No one ever likes EDM.

I do like hip-hop/rap though and can enjoy discourse on that here every now and then, but its mostly all band guitar stuff here, like 99% of all the music discussion tbh

I love EDM lol

Anderson .Paak and Travis Scott are no-talent hacks

Screw that fucking guy

Just had the best workout yet. I decided to redownload Yugioh on my phone and play that on the treadmill since I play decks that don't require a lot of input on my part and I can kinda just watch the duel and play a few cards here and there. I was hoping it would distract me and it totally worked.

450 calories burned on the treadmill
125 calories burned on the bike
about 50 reps on various weight machines

Even if the machines overestimate the calories burned a little bit, I spent about an hour of excercising not including any breaks I took. I used the massage chairs I had access to and could have worked out more but my phone was dying and didnt want to overwork myself. Today was a good day tho lol

Im gonna look at other archetypes for my going second decks. I NEVER win coin tosses and its so much less stressful to play a going second deck because 95% of the time I get to go second.

Problem is I feel like there are just not a lot of anti-meta archetypes. Ive done Yosenjus and Gravekeepers but Idk what else to make. I could try to make a going second Gravekeeper deck which Ive never done before. I love my Fur Hires too and have not used them in FOREVER.

Problem is I dont special summon because I think its lame to combo. I do 1 special summon per turn at the absolute max. I just wanna floodgate and watch my opponent squirm and theres not many decks for that I dont think. When is Mystic Mine gonna be unbanned? I wanna use that card

Had to take off the gym today and had a rest day yesterday. Back to the gym tomorrow

I briefly worked in cars and I know how to get the best possible deal.

1. If you are not ready to take the car home today, dont run the numbers. Dealerships love same day pickups. Only get serious when you are 100% ready.
2. Come in with a price in mind for the car you want. Give them your card and say if they can hit the number, its an automatic buy. If they come back and say they really cant hit the number, then you know they cant.
3. Get a definitive amount to the cent of what you need to come in with when you pick up the car. A common scam is you pay the first month of the car, and then when you pick it up they try to explain that you pay the first month now, even though you already did.

This at least was what I observed when working there. This is what seemed to have the most success for customers. This is all new car sales btw

Never saw any of them

I had a couple people get in my face and curse me out while I was working retail. Honestly, I loved those people. Made the day interesting.

One dude said a bunch of f-bombs claiming he called the store and we said we had a pair of shoes. He didn't call, or maybe he called the wrong store because we didn't have the shoes. He got super mad, cursed me out, then turned to walk away and I just said "Have a nice day, sir!" and he muttered more profanities under his breath that I could hear.

It's funny when people get mad like that.

I'm scared to know how many gems I've spent on the Gravekeeper secret pack. It's got to be like 200k gems. That's all I buy. Just bought 50 of the packs rn

Makes sense to me.

Also, since this is a going 2nd deck, consider putting in Triple Tactics Thrust. If you bait out a negate or handtrap, you can use it to search out those boardbreakers like Raigeki or Evenly. I'd take out Necrovalley (not very useful in a going 2nd deck) and either Ghost Sister or one of the Ghost Belles for 2 copies of Thrust.

Necrovalley is there mainly to get rid of Horus decks specifically. It singlehandedly destroys them

Basically, most duels go something like this.

Turn 1: Opponent does a bunch of shit
Turn 2: Lava Golem/Sphere Mode everything. Or raigeki or Evenly Matched or something.
Turn 3: They do almost nothing because they used all their resources already
Turn 4: I summon all of my Yosenjus for a bunch of damage, then go into Tepir to lock down all monster effects.
Turn 5: They do nothing because they can't.
Turn 6: Attack for game.

That's an oversimplification but soooooo many duels are roughly that formula.

Because I never have monsters on the field. I need to bounce the Yosenju back to my hand to keep using their effects

Cowboy and Tepir are the two best cards tho. Use them almost every duel

What other cards would you recommend? I want everyone to have a bad day.

super cool. the few romhacks i played were of mainline, and yeah it seemed like they either changed mechanics or added minor stuff. i played crystal clear which is crystal version but open world and that was pretty neat
that's awesome tho, 16 hours of a unique story/content is really impressive

Ive had a ton of people say they prefer my game over the one that Im building off of which really motivates me Im doing something good haha. So yeah, try to get some feedback on what you have if you can

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/b/bbd3d5d8.jpg
I decided to come back and build a new deck for competitive. It's been having amazing success.

Also I have more gems than I know what to do with. Probably almost 20k since I have so many gifts waiting. There is absolutely nothing I want to buy tho so I may just continue my quest to get a royal finish necrovalley

Pokmon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky actually lol. I like PMD way more than mainline and I feel like you can do a lot more creative things with the story.

I am making a Pokmon rom hack and its at 16 hours long so and not even near done. I release it in installments. Im not sure how Ill feel when Im nearing the end, but what keeps me going is feedback from people. When there is a community of people who care about your work and want to see whats next, that makes everything easier imo.

If I was in your situation and the game is in a playable state, Id get a friend to play it and see what they think. If they really like it, then naturally you are gonna want to finish it and make it as good as you possibly can. Maybe that doesnt work for everyone, but thats my mindset.

This is a perfect sentence to take out of context

I knew that when writing and thought about changing. Buuuuut its more funny like this

Mario still kinda looks like he's grabbing Flurries breasts when she blows.

I am absolutely loving it. Was nice to include the retro music badge as well.

I play these games slow tho. Just finished chapter 2. I got 20 floors down into the pit of 100 trials. I want to grab some of the rewards early

Did mainly weights today. Not actual weights, the resistance machines.

After doing that, I took a break and used the massage chair for 10 minutes. Tried to go back and do more weights but my body told me nahhhhhh don't do that. I could barely do what I was doing before so I thought my body had had enough. Went to the grocery store and bought some chicken wings lol.

Man, working out makes you hungry.

I didn't really have a goal in mind, but I guess getting down to 220 would be a good place to start. That's 25 pounds from where I started. Also I weighed myself this morning and I am at just under 240. Like 239.5. So that's cool, but I bet that's all water weight.

I have been easing into lifting weights. My arms are sore as hell but I'll probably do a bit more weights today. Also my friend says carbs before the gym is good so I just downed a bagel and I'm going back to the gym in a little bit.

A little annoyed I have seen not much progress yet. I feel like I've been doing a good amount of working out and watching what I eat but have seen very little results so far.

God that Chinese was mid.

Back at the gym now. I noticed no one around my age does the exercise bike, but its nice because I can easily use my phone to distract myself as I work out lol.
