    It's always the weirdest stuff that prompts cramps and twinges.

    I bet you want to handle it in private to sweep it under the rug right?

    Bro, take the L.

    What videogames are you playing in 2026?

    Broke down and just bought RE9: Requiem at full price. Played the opening scenes and the early part of the hospital last night. No regrets. So far, it's one of the best games I've played in a long time.

    Dudes at the gym seem to have some inexorable compulsion to be on the bench. It's weird.

    Weighed in at 163.8, so I'm satisfied with the progress so far. 18.5% BF, so down just a smidge despite the 1.5 pounds dropped. Doing some back-of-the-napkin math, though, it means I'd still have to lose a full 10 lbs to get to about 12% BF. That, in turn, means I'll have to drop lower than my...

    Measurements and "official" weekly weigh-ins happen on Saturday (so tomorrow), but I've been checking my weight each morning. It's been going steadily down, and I weighed in at 163.4 this morning, so I feel confident I'll hit my 163 mark tomorrow. It's been a fairly predictable 1.5 lbs each week...

    How's your energy level been overall since you recovered from the crud?

    What videogames are you playing in 2026?

    I've been running through a bunch of the Resident Evil remakes ahead of Requiem, but I'll probably hold off on buying it until a sale. I've also been playing through the remake of Silent Hill 2, and I have to say that I'm disappointed. I loved it back in the day, but now it kind of feels like a...

    At our age, I would argue an emphatic "yes!"

    Had Upper yesterday and Lower today, and I'm feeling good. Not quite as strong as I was before I got sick, but almost there!

    So, Saturday morning check in. I woke up bracing myself for disappointment and ended up pleasantly surprised. Down to 165.4 lbs and 18.8 BF%. So despite the minor cut, I still managed to shave almost a pound and more than a full percentage of body fat this past week. I'm almost (but not quite)...

    My sinus infection is finally clearing up, and I'm slowly recovering strength. I binged this weekend, so I've been working to get back on track with the diet to at least break even tomorrow with last week's weigh in.

    Minis for TTRPGs

    I like Reaper Bones a lot--as someone else upthread mentioned, you can't beat the price. I find, however, that I have to really wash them (toothbrush and all) to keep them from interacting weirdly with primer. As someone who uses the "slapchop" method, primer's important. My favorite minis to...

    Sorry to hear that. That said, there are lots of reasons you wouldn't be at peak performance: calorie reduction, caffeine reduction, getting over a cold, etc. It could also be that you need a deload given how hard you've been pushing--I don't recall when your last one was. That's all to say that...

    Took my measurements today and meh. Down almost three pounds this week, but I suspect much of it was water as the other measurements didn't change. Maybe (?) lost a fraction of an inch at the waist, but who can say. I've had several successful cuts in the past, but far more false starts. The...
