Event Title: DSC Raid Event Author: RenFengge Calendar: Destiny Calendar Event Date: 01/03/2021 09:00 AM @TurboR56Mini and I are looking to get one more raid in before it's back to the work grind. Ajay is in too! Anyone up for it? DSC Raid N.B. If viewing this via the FG App, please visit the Calendar event via browser to RSVP. Thanks.

Out of sheer laziness of not wanting to do a blog but still needing a place to hold myself accountable, this is going to be my place to track myself in my 2021 health goals (in addition to doing some online "bet" with a large [like couple of grand] winner pot). What will be in subsequent posts: Workouts. Goal progress. Random babbling. Fair warning, I babble online a lot when I have an online outlet. I prefer writing. Background: I have struggled a lot since I can remember on physical weight and perception. I'm Asian, and I grew up in a culture that prized women to be as skinny as possible and as fair-skinned as possible. So, between my mother commenting on how fat I was (when in reality, I wasn't but I did not realize that at the time), to my father doing his best to undo the mental damage of that whenever he was home from business trips, let's just say I had a rather unhealthy relationship with food until I was 20. I barely ate due to being afraid to eat and also not having much money, and if I did, it was not the best thing, but it was what I could afford or what someone gave me. Unintentionally, I developed much healthier habits when I was stuck in the Philippines for a year. Between combat martial arts training and just eating real food, I found a sense of peace in it. Nutrition is a rabbit hole I can dive into for hours and days. So, I've gone back and forth between being relatively healthy and being utterly lazy. Basically, when I stop fitting into my clothes comfortably, I start getting back into my health routine. I've been getting back into it since August of 2020. I have two doctors who keep tabs on me. One who I see on an almost weekly basis. Two coaches who really hold me accountable on not slacking and putting in the work. And, now, this plus my year-end goal to complete to move onto my next goal. The goals are related. I can't do the next part without completing this. Current: I'm starting today with the initial weigh-in. The online bet has a 6-month goal of losing 10% weight. Based on what I know about myself, I can safely and mostly easily lose that. The next (final) 10% will be more difficult, but it will be a healthy weight. Overall, I'm more focused on measurements than weight. I had a doctor in my teen years who noted that I was at a perfect weight based on medical knowledge, but it did not physically work for me (body fat percentage was too low). Exercise Programming: HIIT workouts 2x a week (social) Boxing workout 1x a week (social) Weights 1x a week with some added cardio (home) Nutrition improvements: Intermittent fasting with an 8 hour window to eat Keto/carb cycling for my sanity (keto-paleo fan, but I've learned that I do a lot better when I cycle it) Keeping the dairy but lowering consumption Focusing on high-quality versus quantity

Happy new year! Good post to start the year! Things I'm going to try: Be consistent with working towards my goals Do more than weightlifting once a week (so, cardio lol) Focus on my health a bit more in terms of food, in addition to working out Have a veggie and fruit garden! Be a better leader to my work team

Love and Monsters! It was just a good, funny, post-apocalyptic movie. I do hope they continue world-building.

Event Title: DSC Raid Event Author: RenFengge Calendar: Destiny Calendar Event Date: 12/29/2020 12:00 PM @TurboR56Mini and I are home for the week. Anyone up for a DSC raid? (no, i don't think we're able to teach it yet lol.) Currently going, as far as I know: me @TurboR56Mini @Kemp210 DSC Raid N.B. If viewing this via the FG App, please visit the Calendar event via browser to RSVP. Thanks.

Thanks, @Baabcat and @Venom , for the run again! Soon, I'll be able to say that I'm slightly competent in this raid. Hahah! (any chance you two will ever be up for teaching some of the other ones...)

Hah. You didn't need to accommodate us! But, we appreciate it. It will be @TurboR56Mini 's last time on for the next couple of days.

Rough for me and @TurboR56Mini for those times. But, I know others are in your time zone that would most want to do it! I'm off starting Christmas until the 4th. @TurboR56Mini will most likely be unavailable until next Monday as we have a winter windy storm coming on Christmas... so he has to go be useful and make sure people have power for the holiday haha.

What time are you thinking?

HZD is a fantastic game that I'm glad I waited on for the expansion to come out. It completely engrossed me in ways that not many games do. For example, I actually read almost EVERY SINGLE PIECE of lore in the world when I found them. I rarely do that. I love the games I play, and I generally enjoy the lore. But, you won't catch me reading every single piece of Dragon Age lore found in that world. And, I love Dragon Age. Guerrilla Games knocked it out of the pack with HZD and going against everything they knew. HZD is what happens when a studio takes it time and isn't forced into weird engines or demands :: cough cough :: Frostbite and micro transactions :: cough cough :: I think Days Gone is a sleeper game. When I saw the announcement trailer, I thought, "Oh look. another zombie game.. how boring." Wrong.. I was.so.wrong. Are the characters interesting? They aren't the most interesting. I find the main character to be more immature than I prefer. I find some of the plot points to be... a reach. But, the overall story? Decent enough. But the gameplay? Wow. Just like how HZD makes you pay attention to the environment and sounds for the sake of hunting and survival, so does Days Gone. You think you're safe hunting whatever, but you might not be paying attention to the sound cues that a hoard is coming and will chase and eat you. Sometimes, two hoards may merge into 1. Sometimes, you can be clever enough to use a hoard to your advantage. Sometimes, you just might be riding around and then get tackled by a super fast and terrifying zombie. Who knows? And, that's the beauty of it. But, the most interesting thing on Days Gone is that it is set in the SAME universe as Syphon Filter. I never played it, but I think that's really awesome. I completed HZD during winter of 2017. I completed FFXV winter of 2018. I completed Days Gone last winter. This winter will be Ghost of Tsushima. Winter is when I play engrossing games. If there's a lull in my winter gaming, it's because there's nothing worth my actual time. I play other games for the sake of community, but not because I hold them in as high regard as GOTY games.

Good times! Thanks for the run. Thanks also to @Venom for teaching!

Jumper = sweater? We got onesies over here!

Lolz. RIP BioWare. Casey came back in hopes to save it. Guess it wasn't salvageable.

I just completed this quiz. My Score 90/100 My Time 86 seconds  

As for mice... I feel like that's super personal. It depends a lot on the size of the hand and whatnot. I like my Cosair M65 mouse.. and it really sucks when I go into the office once a week and go back to my sh*tty setup there. If just for work, maybe look at Logitech MX Master 3 Wireless Mouse with Hyper-fast Scroll Wheel WWW.LOGITECH.COM The Logitech MX Master 3 Mouse features MagSpeed Electromagnetic scrolling, gesture buttons, app specific customizations, Darkfield™ tracking, 4000 DPI, quick device switching and more

Das Prime 13 White LED Backlit Mechanical Keyboard SHOP.DASKEYBOARD.COM Das Keyboard Prime 13 is a minimalist mechanical keyboard designed to take productivity to the next level. Free of fancy... Totally forgot about these, and I really really like them.

If you end up with like Corsair/SteeelSeries, why not adjust the RGB profile to not be RGB all the time? (Also, commenting to remind myself to dig around)
