> /v/ has the best /fit/ threads Spartans. What is your protein source?

>>1584578 The general consensus when it comes to /fit/ protein is chicken, and I have to agree with that. It's efficient, cheap, and relatively reasonable in what dishes you can make with it. What I'd like to know is more broad- what are good cultures to learn their recipes from? Not choosing just one culture is ideal for flavor but can be costly when they ask for different spices or ingredients. Vietnamese seems reasonable, but so could Greek. If there aren't good answers to this, then surely there's at least cultures to avoid for one reason or other, like Italian being very risky unless you have a reason to eat a metric fuckload of carbs?

>>1724589 >what cuisine Limiting yourself to just one culture is handicapping if you want to maintain high protein diet without it getting boring and using affordable ingredients. Best bang for the buck and effort would probably be modern American cuisine, DASH diet, or "Mediterranean" diet because they are grab bags of many cuisines and the latter two are designed to be healthy and tasty. Ideally, you should try to learn from all of cuisines and keep what you like but prune out what you don't. You can avoid chicken being boring by using different prep methods (baking, grilling, pan-frying, making pulled chicken) different spices or condiments, and using it in different dishes. For example, with pulled or shredded chicken you can: >season it with taco spice mix, eat with beans, pico do galo, guacamole, and some leafy greens for "mexican" variation >season it with smoked paprika or mix with barbecue sauce, put between whole grain toast with coleslaw or shredded romaine lettuce, and another vegetable of choice for a healthy, high protein sandwich >use with potatoes and vegetables >stuff it into a tortilla/wrap/ >use as a filling for an omelette >mix into a salad >mix into a stir fry >use with pasta and tomato or pesto sauce And there are probably more options I did not think of. There's enough variety in flavors and styles of dishes to keep checken from getting boring. If you are avoiding carbs and do not want to tailor dishes at all, it's probably best to avoid most Asian cuisines as their dishes often include heaps of rice. Italians are over reliant on pasta. You could also always easily tone down carbs in both and swap to brown rice or whole grain\lentil based pastas for more protein, fiber, and other nutrients. Straight up avoiding cuisines is a lazy approach. And you should not be too afraid of carbs. They provide easily accessible energy and I used to hit long plateaus when I was trying to cut down on them. You will be fine if you stick to whole grains and not overly processed ones and do not overdo them. Especially if you are doing cardio too, and you should so you do not end up with heart issues later in life. Swapping chicken for something else from time to time is good to, so you do not develop nutrient deficiencies. Sardines and turkey aren't exactly super expensive either.

As someone who likes music, whistles my own tunes, and knows the bare minimum of music reading and writing from my band classes like 8 years ago, where would a good starting point be for making videogame music? Actually studying music theory? Making chiptunes and trying to see what sounds good/doesn't? Messing around with my guitar that's been leaning against the wall for three years? Downloading FruityLoopsstudio and messing around? More specifically, are there any smaller, FOSS programs that let me make music like what I hear in the average indie/demake/high quality rip? And don't fucking say Mario Paint.

>>1585375 LMMS or Ardour, haven't messed around enough to be able to confidently tell you which one is superior.

>>1585375 OpenMPT, Bespoke Synth, Rosegarden, Reaper Studio (not FOSS)

>>1707489 >Was Grand Theft Auto San Andreas: Tarazan an actual game?

>>1707007 >>1707747 >Was Grand Theft Auto San Andreas: Tarazan an actual game? I mean it could be "technically yes, but also no." San Andreas especially has been an endlessly popular game in 2nd/3rd world countries due to being a large sandbox game that can be played on an affordable console that's everywhere. South American countries (especially Brazil iirc but I could be wrong) have hundreds of bootleg mods published as "San Andres [Dragonball/Spider-Man/Breaking Bad/etc.]" where CJ is just swapped with a different model. So it's actually very likely GTA: SA Tarzan is a real game that someone took a picture of in a bodega somewhere in Rio de Janeiro, but it was also probably just San Andreas with a shitty mod pasted over it.

>>1724092 Maybe a UI mod, but other than that the game is fine without mods, especially for a first playthrough. There is also the mod to uncap the level from 12 to 20, but even if you were to kill everything and try to maximize XP gain, I don't think you will go over 14.

>>1703814 Were they just eating the people no one liked?

>>1724092 >Strongly considering starting BG3 for the first time Why? that dog shit is just a WEG with dice rolls. Go play something good like Skald: Black Priory.

>>1718768 Oh shit, he wrote The Lost World? Thought it was another author!

>>1718808 You're probably thinking of Edgar Rice Burroughs. In addition to Tarzan an John Carter, he also wrote two different lost world series of books. One set in a hollow earth with evil psychic Rhamphorhynchus' as the villains and another set on an island where prehistoric creatures basically "digivolve" as they move from zone to zone on the island and recapitualte the whole chain of prehistoric evolution. There's movie versions too.

>>1718926 I actually wasn't, I was thinking of the original novel, I just had no idea that Doyle had written it, but thanks for the recs.

>specifically told how to get through Mt. Moon and Vermilion >it gets stuck in Celadon instead and stops making progress It is the most over it has ever been. The stream is down and continuing now would simply be pathetic. They must admit failure and accept it never would have happened without human handholding. You might as well just play it yourself if you need to tell it what to do in every single segment.

>>1483545 Wow. >>1409160 I'm surprised it got that far.

>>1351998 it's funny, I played a new game recently that looked like 2006 graphics but was colorful, and it was honestlyreally great. I'm also replaying God of War 1 and like... yea, turns out your brain really doesn't need fucking raytracing and all that bullshit to be fooled into just eating up what's on screen. Which is nice. ANyway, I crank my settings down all the time for performance anyway where I can on newer games. >>1077527 I mean, I'm not a dick rider, but God of War 1/2 was really fucking Goated at the time. I'm playing right now, and it does shit that modern games don't do (GIANT FUCKING MONSTERS AND LANDSCAPES). >inb4 shadow of the colossus Fine game with mid combat at best compared to God of War 1, but I don't think it's fair to compare them in a pissing match. Respect would be best due by respecting them for their different strengths. But yea, GoW1 like... it does stuff that modern games steal from to this day.

>>1307248 >I am fucking terrible at tactics in these games Just use the smile: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfdLRjBWOgM The video says it's for Vlandia but it will work with every culture. Just put a square of shield infantry in the center, and flank then with shock infantry surrounded by heavy shield cavalry, then put the archers back in a C formation and tell them to hold fire until the enemy is close. Enemy cavalry will straight up commit suicide charging your flanks, and when the enemy infantry charges your square you tell your shock troops to charge and they'll surround and massacre the infantry. All that will be left are archers and you can just charge your cavalry at them. This strategy is completely busted and will easily win you battles against far stronger armies with minimal losses.

Lmao, such a jewish thing to do.

>>1688196 I don't remember him being mentioned by name. My personal guess was the other alchemist guy who knows about Miriam's past (forgot his name). Whoever it was, the initial goal was to use Miriam (still nameless by that point) as a marketing ploy to attract some demographics (I can only think girls who cosplay, maybe?), but then getting rid of her after a prologue, replacing her with the real male main character. That was scrapped. In my opinion, Miriam as the main character was a mistake and probably the reason why many people started to be hesitant towards buying or funding it.

>>1623351 The game isn't hard, though? The complaint is that it results in levels that aren't often interesting.

>>1168805 I like 5 for its Destiny mode. I unironically like 6 because I love the animations of Zhao Yun's moveset, renbu hate be damned. I like 7E because the fame system gave you more customizable, but 8E has the roster/weapons. Strike Force was interesting in that it felt like a wuxia game with the flying and aerial combos. But my actual favorite are the Gundam Musou and I like each one for different things and because of how suits change (for better or for worse) in each iteration.

>>1676917 <But my actual favorite are the Gundam Musou and I like each one for different things It's the writing, isn't it? (Gundam 1 was a bit very basic but 2 was pretty good at patching up the jank. 3 feels really nice from what I've played up to now.)

>>1677558 1 is definitely because of Domon/Milliardo/Puru and because God Gundam is my overall favorite. Gundam.
