Never felt better, now instead of getting tired every time I go out I take walks for leisure and can carry heavy poo poo without breaking my back.

i helped my brother carry around a 200 pound grill the other day and all the weightlifting i've been doing basically made it free

The one thing I miss about living out in the middle of nowhere was being able to just head outside with a full water bottle and my phone and just take a walk along the road for hours without seeing a single person (outside of the occasional passing car). Living in the city and actually being able to walk to a store in only a couple minutes is great, but it just doesn't feel the same and I go on walks a lot less because of it

as long as you're not injuring yourself from going too far it's truly the best poo poo. "oh i feel like rear end" time to pull myself off the sofa and go for a 1h15 weightlifting session + 1h on the treadmill so i have to be actively focused on something other than the torture that is life else i die and afterwards you're so tired that you don't have the energy to be sad
mental health ftw

i bought armored core 6 earlier this week but have played under two hours of it because i got very frustrated by the control schemes. controller feels so much better than kb+m, but also i can not Go Up and also Look Around without mangling my hand which is a dealbreaker for me, i like looking and moving at the same time

kb+m meanwhile, has default controls where if i want to use my left/right shoulder rockets, while i am locking on i am physically incapable of moving left and/or right. i do not want to learn the muscle memory required to hold the e key and potentially rapidly press the d key at the same time.

i am hoping to play more when i have some more time because the game is otherwise dope as gently caress, and i sat down yesterday to work out kb+m controls that don't make certain important actions mutually exclusive due to the limitations of the human hand

armored core has a reputation for needing 3 hands but i think you might have a better time remapping your controller a little or putting in a few more hours and seeing if you can adapt

sadly, there are only 4 shoulder buttons on the controller, and therefore only 4 buttons that can be held while also using the analog stick. between 4 weapons + Go Up there are more than 4 actions that potentially require holding a button, so i'm pretty stuck there. i mangled my hand beating demon's souls due to sprint on hold x and i really don't want to repeat that now that i'm not 19 and have much more substantial Wrist Concerns. no, i refuse to learn to not constantly refocus the camera on my latest object of attention.

i literally just played a test mission with my new kb+m rebind scheme and while the new muscle memory i need to learn is awkward, being able to do all the things i want to do at the same time felt shockingly liberating lol. i just need to find time where i'm both sober and don't have other obligations like the one i'm about to run off to

i havent needed to use the face buttons a ton but i abuse hardlock its probably much more challenging to consistently softlock and also jump a lot. best of luck

tbh having actually played all the games i dont know where this rep actually came from. the hard lock in ac6 pretty obviously exists because in complicating the control scheme they needed ways to make it easier for players to keep up, the ones infamous for having really weird control schemes are also ones with fully remappable controls that are easy to modify to be like regular dual analog setups just using the face buttons instead

i mean. if a game has a weird control scheme i generally assume its still optimal and try to adapt or just drop the game. i think the people talking about crabhands in the early stuff are like me in this regard

I desperately need to get back to exercising and working out. I havnt done poo poo since the beginning of covid and now I kinda feel like garbage. Rediscovering that the hardest part of this process is getting your rear end there at the beginning.

I sometimes click on an ANN review title when it gets clickbaitey enough to see what they’re going on about. I checked out an episode about one of the more recent episodes where Hori is playfully bitching at Miyamura about something. Miyamura is (comically) exasperated about the situation but the entire time he’s like “it’s good because I love her” and the ANN reviewer the entire time is going “Why does he put up with Hori’s rear end, she is acting like a complete rear end!”

Like, sorry she has some flaws?
remembering when love me for who i am got translated and ann's review of the first volume made a giant point about how the characters were misgendering a nonbinary character and forcing them to crossdress because they see them as a woman and the author is clearly a cis fetishist, and what happens in that scene is that the nb character gets asked if they want to wear a dress and they go 'sure'
