I've never heard of someone cycling off creatine, unless maybe for minor water weight reductions if needed? But for strength sports I imagine the benefits out weigh the water weight.

Is there a particular reason you're thinking of cycling off of it?

Bit late to the party, but dredge is really one of those "I'll just play for ten minutes" (still playing 3 hours later) games then huh

Been a while since I properly indulged in a steam sale... grabbed some indie games (death's door, tunic, dredge, gunbrella) and cyberpunk to keep me busy for a while.

Was tempted by more, but I think by the time I'm done with all these they will be another sale, so may as well wait.

Long Shot The Dice Game is fun - horse racing gambling silliness with a lot of variation to keep it fresh, and fun at all player counts.

Mindbug is fun and quick to pick up, and silly, but quite tactical.

Forbidden island for quick to set up co op times.

Yes I've done BBB. It is good, but from my experience (and what I've read of others), you really do want to be eating in a decent surplus while running it.

Idk about an app but there are good spreadsheets that function similarly to an app for a lot of 5/3/1 variants.

Bulk pure whey is the way to go for me. Buy 5kg at a time and then wait for a sale when you're running out.

You can still use momentum to aid in a pendlay row.

Of course you can do it strict too, but they don't stop you using Body English.

snots are tier 1 of the tier 3s though 😉

Underworld are nonsense. Honestly after doing ok at a tournament with them I am not super hype to play them again. They just play BB one way very well which can be a bit non interactive.

Nice! Rows are a weird one. I think a bit of momentum / body english is alright in a BB row but I know there are schools of thought that think not.

bloody love snotlings.

snot team or underworld denizens?

Could try smith machine squats. Close stance, heels elevated will hit the quads hard.

Alternatively, if your gym has them, belt squat or hack squat.

Yeah I think I'm gonna have to google deck performance for games I buy with the intention to specifically play on deck in future.

Got Sifu on steamdeck, perfect steam deck game in general, but it seems that freezes / crashes are a common problem. Not the worst thing in the world but enough for me to not play it. Weird to me that a game can have "Verified on deck" with those kinds of issues.

While writing that I remembered this website: https://whatanimaldoyoulift.herokuapp.com/

which is a fun way to give context to your lifts to your friends.

pulled 200kg deadlift for 2 sets of 3 today. Smoothest it's ever moved and first time I've done 200 for more than a single. There were definitely more reps in the tank but I managed to fight my ego / I must max out mentality and stick to the triples.

Yep, that was it. Refactored to get arr of all indexes rather than just the first and got the right answer. Thank you!

Would have been nice to have an example in the test data with that structure, but oh well!

Nice one, that's definitely it.

The short answer is no, it still works.

The flow is it takes the string, pulls the number (word) or number (int) occurrences out into an object, then organises them into an array in the order they occurred in the original string, and then maps them to the relevant number. Then takes the first and last element of that array and concatenates them together. So 1 will result in an array of ['1'], so concatenating the first and last element of that array together results in 11.

But ty for the thought.

In case anyone has morbid fascination, gist with my code (javascript): https://gist.github.com/ZooeyMiller/aaaf22e14fc5401f06dcd16c3ed8b605

Last year I tried it in haskell, thought I'd make my life easier by doing it in JS this year 🙃

Spoke too soon, updated that, updated test cases, ran with actual data, incorrect answer. RIP.

oh ffs. Thanks! I intentionally guarded against that as well...

These are my test cases, with what they produce:

two1nine 29
eightwothree 83
abcone2threexyz 13
xtwone3four 24
4nineeightseven2 42
zoneight234 14
7pqrstsixteen 76
oneight 18

eightwo 82

aaa1bbb 1
threeightwo 32

I think I'm ok with just being "done" with day1 now. I will just not have that star. Day2 was nice and smooth.

Produces 18, originally didn't, but refactored it to after seeing it was a case that needed covering. Really stumped on what's up with it.

Running behind, but, day 1 part 2 has stumped me. refactored to account for all edge cases I could think of, solution still wrong, stole a solution from reddit, just to see what the result was, maybe to get an idea of where to go wrong, stolen solution from reddit also doesn't work. Dang.

assuming your micronutrient intake is decent from your diet, then you should be fine. If not, take a multivitamin, maybe omega3, and a vitamin D tablet assuming you also live in "sunny" Britain. you don't "need" anything really though.

The most important things for recovery are overall calorie intake and sleep. Whey / protein powder isn't even necessary if you can get your protein goals in without it. Creatine works and is a nice to have, but not needed.
