Oh look at me I’m New York City. I have a cool socialist mayor. My basketball team has perfect vibes and is up 2-0 in the finals. I have the best food and the coolest clubs. I’m the center of the world. Fuck you
The Stop Killing Games movement has officially backed the proposed California bill focused on protecting players when online games are shut down.
> Publishers must provide an offline mode or a way to keep the game playable after server shutdown.
> If this is not possible, players should receive a full refund.
> The goal is to protect digital ownership and game preservation.
This proposal follows growing concerns over games becoming completely inaccessible once support ends, especially after shutdowns like The Crew.
Most gamers think that if players pay for a game, it should remain playable or be fairly compensated.
Always saw the biggest guy at my college gym eating sour patch kids inbetween his sets and my underdeveloped brain could not comprehend why a man so jacked would eat something so taboo (this was peak low-carb era).
But now I understand. Fast carbs (glucose, dextrose, sucrose) enter your bloodstream immediately. Working muscles sucks that glucose out of your blood via GLUT4 transclocation, independent of insulin. You bypass the usual metabolic bottlenecks and feed your engines mid-burn.
High intensity training is heavily dependent on glycogen and glycolosis. Burn through your glycogen stores and your performance suffers. Less explosiveness, no pump, more cortisol.
Keeping your muscles fueled mid-workout gives you everything you want and need. Glucose has an osmotic effect. It pulls water into muscle cells and hydrates you at an intracellular level (very anabolic btw). You get better bloodflow, bigger/fuller muscles, better contraction. You can sustain peak output for the entirety of your workout.
Its not just your muscles that are being fueled either. Your brain is a glucose hog. Low blood sugar during long sessions is the leading cause of fatigue and poor motor output. Hence why glucose microdosing is beneficial for cognitive tasks as well (especially hybrid psycho/physiological tasks like martial arts, sports etc.)
Better yet, exogenous glucose blunds cortisol-induced tissue breakdown. Extremely anti-catabolic.
You perform better, you feel better, you recover better, and you leave your workout less fried than you otherwise would.
All while giving you a perfect excuse to get your sugar fix in guilt free.
Yo doods @benbuck346 and I decided to hook it up for everybody and give away a Switch 2 and digital copy of Pokopia. To enter:

Rolled live for proof (attendance not required) on twitch on 3/21 the final day of Switch Week! Also go follow Ben :]
Honestly it’s been a pretty financially tough year and getting a switch 2 isn’t really in the cards. If this is true, I think that’s amazing, and if it happens to me that would be incredible. Guess I’ll try my luck?
The ability to quickly reset and recover. From a bad interaction. From a bad day. From a missed workout. From a poor decision. You can start over whenever you want. You can't always control what happened, but you can control how long you carry it.
The hardest part of coming out of a anxiety/depression fog is coming back into reality. While you feel better you’re instantly faced with the people and tasks you’ve neglected. No one talks about the guilt that comes along with that.
I'm kind of an absent friend like i will love you with my whole heart and go out of my way to give you any help you need but I tend to live in my own world and suck at keeping up communication and I'm really sorry to anyone who takes that personally.
It’s okay to be silly and loud and cringe and nerdy and goofy… doesn’t make you any less of adult. Always hold onto whimsy and the things that make you happy for as long as you can. Life’s better that way. Phuck the haters.
Social media has RUINED the expectations of a man in a relationship. “if he wanted to he would.” a 23 year old man does not need to be buying you expensive clothes, bags and trips when he’s trying to build a life. that’s not normal. 1/2
i’m convinced you can get good at anything if you just do it enough.
