Snake killed Skull Face.

I'm currently on Mission 43: Metallic Archaea [Extreme].

I'm still playing because I'm assuming I haven't gotten the ending yet.

I read the game has a few other "endings" with Quiet and Eli.

But how do I know if I beat the game? I'm a little confused. I just want to beat this game already.

Steroids mess with your metabolism, I think.


Yeah, I read certain medications slow down your metabolism.

Ultima Dragon posted...
SSRIs/psych meds and heart/blood pressure medication are notorious for this. The former is not really fully understood, but they absolutely brick your metabolism. I was on Cipralex for a short time (about six months) and I gained 20-30 pounds despite zero change in my diet or exercise habits. Went off and the weight came off too.

It's not gonna be the same for everyone, but a lot of people do experience significant weight gain with some of these that counting calories and working your ass off in the gym doesn't fix.


Yeah, I take psych meds. But didn't know it caused a lot of weight gain. I don't even know if the reason I gained weight last year was from medication as well. Maybe (and a big maybe) it played a role but I do know for a fact that I wasn't eating very healthy last year and it is common for me to get fat when I don't take care of myself.

But this year with the supplemental meds I noticed this additional weight gain. I don't work out much (for other reasons) but I feel like I have given up or at least put my weight loss goals on hold. I'm very good at losing weight and have done it many times in the past. But right now I don't feel like I'll make much progress even if I tried eating even cleaner than before (hell, what I'm currently eating is extremely limiting as is).

It's more of a rhetorical question I suppose.

Been taking some new meds this year and I noticed I gained weight. I haven't checked my weight since like December or February but if I had to guess I probably gained a good 20 lbs.

Now I am already fat and this just makes it worse.

I'm just kind of shocked that medication could have made me gain that much weight. Probably even more. I eat the same as I did and since I have IBS I am on a very strict diet. I didn't get this fat when I used to eat fast food like 4 times a week last year.

Might want to see a doctor that specializes in weight loss, they can do blood tests to see what is going on with your hormones and try to figure out how many calories youre burning daily just by doing regular daily functions

That will give you an idea of what number you need to keep your calories under

Another option is to work on building muscle to increase your metabolism long term


I've gotten blood tests done. I actually forgot to mention this. From the lab results I got, everything was fine (sugar level, cholesterol, etc.) except 1 or 2 minor things I can easily take care of (like vitamin D deficiency).

Lifting is a good idea. I can't afford a gym and at this point in my life I am more physically (and mentally) tired than ever before. I'm hoping the sleep apnea thing and a cpap will turn things around. I do miss lifting.

Kyuubi4269 posted...
have you considered eating less?


I eat about the same or less than months ago and I'm eating a lot cleaner than too (since I can't consume many things like high fructose corn syrup, gluten, etc.)

Hell, I used to eat fast food almost every day for some time last year and still wasn't as fat as I am now. It makes me wonder how much the medication I take made me gain weight. I'm not making excuses at all. I was already fat, but man, it feels like the medication has made me gain about 20 lbs or so. Unfortunately I don't know when I started taking this medication to compare my weight before and after taking it. I'll have to ask my doctor.

I'm at my heaviest ever.

I'm frustrated because there is very little I can do at the moment.

I have irritable bowel syndrome so I have to be on a very strict diet.

I'm taking medication that has made me gain weight.

And I'm always exhausted no matter how many hours I sleep. I might have sleep apnea. I should be getting my results from the sleep study soon.

I'm frustrated and that's why I made this topic.

I've lost weight many times in my life. I enjoy working out and can get in decent shape when I force myself to work out. It's just extremely difficult when you are tired all of the time.

But yeah, I'm tired of being fat. I'm trying to figure out ways on how to lose weight but with all of these things, I just end up getting more frustrated.

Oh and I'm broke as hell so that isn't helping things at all.

I was already fat (no point in denying it lol) and I've gotten even fatter.

I've read some of the side effects for the medication I take and I even did a quick search from people that take it. Apparently some people have gained up to 50 lbs. because of it.

I've been eating the same for the past few months, so I know it's not the food that made me gain weight. Besides, the food I can eat is extremely limited because I have IBS and have to be on a very strict diet.

I can see how medication makes people gain weight (metabolism, etc.) but holy crap, potentially gaining 50 lbs. is scary.

PC:

Fortnite - Linux Port

Halo: Master Chief Collection

Backwards Compatibility with Original Xbox and Xbox 360 games.

More Microsoft published games on Steam

Switch:

Super Smash Bros. - Venom Snake (MGSV) and Ryu Hayabusa (Ninja Gaiden) as playable characters. Maybe the Switch version can be a port of the Wii U version with content from both Wii U and 3DS versions, and all new content.

Fortnite port

More Wii U Ports - Budget priced ports of Wii U games like Super Mario 3D World.

GTA V port - This would certainly make Rockstar a lot of money!

Overwatch port

PS4:

Cross-Platform Multiplayer - I want Sony to fully embrace this.

Folklore remaster

All Platforms and PC:

Atlus ports (Catherine: Full Body, SMT series, Persona, etc.)

Metal Gear - Ports of every major Metal Gear game

Ninja Gaiden Black and Ninja Gaiden 2 (Xbox 360) remasters

Professor Layton series ports (Not sure how it would work on Xbox One and PS4, but it would work well on PC and Switch)

That's all I can think of at the moment.

He can have a electric shock attack, rocket punch, teleportation grab (this would be new and inspired by the teleportation arm thing), and so on.

MCU's canon is only some Marvel properties. It's missing key properties such as X-Men, X-Force, Fantastic Four, Deadpool, etc. It doesn't even have mutants!

WWE Sports Entertainment Universe (not to be confused with WWE's label for it's fanbase), or 'WSEU' for short, spans the following as canon: WWE (since it's creation), NXT, WCW, ECW, FCW (up to a certain point), Southpaw Wrestling, Smoky Mountain Wrestling, NWA (some is considered canon), classic Stampede Wrestling, UFC, Total Divas, Ring of Honor (some of it is considered canon), Terminator Universe (Arnold in HoF and T-800 in WWE 2K16), Robocop franchise (as someone mentioned in my other topic, he appeared in WCW), Hugh Jackman (not as Wolverine, but as the guy from Real Steel), Gobbledy G, Mike Tyson, Floyd Mayweather, all of Rock's movies, all of John Cena's movies, Fozzy, Motrhead, Kid Rock, Limp Bizkit, Creed, Pitbull, Mongoose McQueen, Donald Trump (and the history of the United States by association), WWE Studio films, Scooby Doo Universe, Flintstones Universe, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (via action figures), Muppets, The Price is Right, Jerry Springer Universe, Slim Jim Universe, Rocket League (via DLC), and tons more. It also acknowledges NJPW and some of it is canon.

The WSEU is far bigger than MCU can ever dream about!

Here's another example (THOR RAGNAROK SPOILERS)


I haven't watched that movie and probably never will. I read the spoilers though.

If the movie studio doesn't want to accidentally or intentionally spoil anything, then they shouldn't do it. They don't have to show that footage in the trailers.

I remember reading from a few people that the Terminator Genysis trailer spoiled the big reveal of the movie. Since I had only watched 1 trailer, I was not spoiled. I find it easy to avoid spoilers. I get hyped with certain movies and simply go into blackout mode. I did the same with The Last Jedi. I think I only watched a teaser and a commercial ad. It's not difficult.

Meh they kinda have to at this point, given the number of people who will dissect every trailer frame-by-frame to try and gather the whole plot and then spoil it. There was some post from Marvel PR or the Russos or someone about doing their best to keep spoilers at a minimum anyways, so I have no problem with it.


I disagree. It's not the movie studio's problem if people dissect the trailers and every piece of media they release. I don't know what to say regarding spoilers though. I would say it's not their problem because people themselves should avoid spoilers. I'm not on any social media site so I never worry about spoilers at all. It's easy for me to avoid spoilers. Hell, I visit video game forums every day and avoid spoilers just fine.

By calling myself a non fan, I mean I'm not into the movies and only watched a few of them.

I was invited and told my friends I'd go if they couldn't find someone else and that I'm not really a fan of the movies.

With that said, I've only seen the following MCU movies (in no particular order): Iron Man 1, Iron Man 2, The Incredible Hulk, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers 1, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and I think that's about it. I have no interest in other MCU movies besides Guardians of the Galaxy.

Anyways, lets get started (in no particular order either).

Even though I didn't have any expectations and wasn't interested in seeing it, I really enjoyed the movie. It was fun.

I really wanted to see more of the Hulk, especially against Thanos. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Maybe an explanation is made in Thor Ragnarok as to why Bruce Banner can't transform into Hulk. But it didn't matter. I thought the big pay off at the end was Hulk, but nope.

The Guardians of the Galaxy had the best scenes. I really have to watch their movies. (I watched a bit of Vol. 2 on Netflix and the little of it I watched was fun as hell).

Thor was pretty cool in this. I never liked Thor for some reason, but he was likeable here.

No Ant Man. Why? :/

Spider-Man is still fucking annoying as fuck. That Iron Spider-Man suit was bullshit. I don't like how some of the technology in these movies are basically magic. Look at Iron Man and War Machine's suits, they literally have weapons on top of weapons and millions of missiles. Where the hell does all of that fit? And not a fan of Spider-Man's abilities coming from technology. The spider-legs were cool though.

Glad Captain America's screentime wasn't long. He sucks.

Thanos was okay. He could've slaughtered some heroes early on so they wouldn't screw up his plans, but nope. But we're getting to the "this is just a movie" territory and I understand why some things didn't happen.

Some events could've been avoided like Star Lord's dumb rage with Thanos that caused him to keep the gauntlet, not using the time stone, and not destroying stones earlier. But again, it's "just a movie" and if some events in the movie were heavily altered, they wouldn't be a movie. Still not a valid excuse though.

I didn't care about the war at the end. It's just heroes fighting a bunch of fodder. No threat at all. Would've been better if they had a few cool looking henchmen bosses fighting the heroes instead. Thanos' henchmen looked like they came out of World of Warcraft.

Question: Has Betty reappeared in any of the MCU movies? It's weird that she isn't in them as she is Bruce's love interest. It looks like he's moved on to Black Widow. She probably wouldn't add much to the story though.

But yeah, I know I mostly posted some negatives, but those were just a few things I had some issues with. Like I said, the movie was fun overall and this is the perspective from someone that doesn't care about these movies and hasn't watched them all. This is way better than Age of Ultron, which I didn't like much.

Edit: I forgot to mention, heroes dying in this movie had no impact at me at all. We all know they'll just bring them back. None of the characters that died looked permanent anyways. With a world with magic, they can just rewind time or bring them back by snapping their fingers. I would have preferred seeing Thanos killing some heroes directly.

I'm not sure if I play a particular set of video games too much in a short period of time, but I end up getting burned out quickly.

I'm already thinking about rushing through MGSV because I am burned out from playing it (it can be a very repetitive game) and want to beat it so I can delete it off my SSD and play something else.

I have a very small SSD so I can't just keep a bunch of games on it. I'm considering removing a few multiplayer games I have that I'm not good at (like PUBG).

But I'm not burned out from playing video games in general though. There are still so many games I want to play.

I'm thinking about going to one.

Last night I was in bed thinking it would be cool to go to cafe and play video games on a laptop or something. Just so I can be out of the house for a bit. Then it hit me, Cyber Cafes are a thing!

So I took a look at a few places and I want to go to one since I don't have a gaming PC at the moment. I'd only go once because I'm buying a gaming PC very soon.

One Cyber Cafe I looked at looks very cool and the pricing isn't that bad! I really want to go. The only thing that's stopping me is driving. It's not far but I hate driving and I dislike going out. I need to go out to get some fresh air and what not, but I dislike going out in general. I know Uber is an option but it would be a waste of money since I can just drive there myself.

I wish it was closer. But who knows, I'll probably go this week. It would be a cool place to hang out and possibly meet some friends.

Anyways, have you been to a Cyber Cafe? If so, how was it?
