    Sometimes the headline and the article sensationalize the actual research. Sometimes the study is flawed in some way, but the journo doesn’t actually catch it. And then of course because the news site wants readers to not bounce, they won’t even link the study. So frustrating and obnoxious.




  • Don’t sleep on MAME. D&D: Tower of Doom and Shadow over Mystara are great action beat-em-ups with magic. The 90s era JRPGs on SNES are great: Secret of Mana, Secret of Evermore, Chronotrigger, FF3|6 and FF2|4, of course Earthbound (S-tier game, imo). Other good SNES classics: Actraiser (I liked 1 better than 2), Ogre Battle, Zelda: Link to the Past. The steam deck should have a shitload of space, so go find some NES/SNES/Genesis torrents and all of it will fit and then you’ll have so much to sift through.














  • Nah, I get it. Not screaming or whatever either. You are correct that human physiology is complicated. There are indeed many factors that go into nutrient absorbsion, etc. However, no one that has stopped eating for a significant amount of time stays fat. Not eating isn’t comfortable. The constant dopamine hit of always putting something into your mouth and having your taste buds light up your brain is super addicting. Feeling hunger is uncomfortable. No one denies any of this. But ultimately, it is up to you, what you choose to put into your mouth and what level of activity to perform to expend energy. If you need psychological help and coaching (think life style changes, CBT, etc), I’m 100% in support. But the responsibility for being fat is on the person for the vast majority of the cases. Modern, car-focused society is not very supportive of fitness endeavors. Weaponized food science (high calorie, low nutrient shit designed to addict you) and weaponized psychology (I bet you can sing at least three jingles for some company if you live in the US) is not supportive of healthy diets.

    The research and me are both correct. You can have metabolism issues and still be responsible for your fatness. Thermodynamics ultimately decides your fatness. Without a source of surplus calories, you will lose weight, period. If you don’t, it is a measurement error or some adjustment in metabolic output estimation needs to be made. And if you’ve somehow magically measured, perfect, all of your input and output and are still not losing weight, get yourself a Nobel for perpetual motion. You just broke physics.


  • Former fatty. It was 100% behavioral. CICO. Physics. Some people need help, no denying that. But rigorously limiting and counting my intake, and estimating my output from added activity with fitness trackers, while also altering my diet to include more volume, less caloric density to stop feeling so hungry, 100% worked. And I learned to be hungry and that the world wasn’t going to end if I was hungry for a little while until it was meal time. I had plenty of caloric surplus and my body was being a little bitch.

    Anyhow, anecdata of one that supports the control what goes in your facehole camp.
