On the image is a cat. The cat is indifferent.

Oh man, for once Youtube's sidebar videos did me something good; it reminded me that these new Disney shorts exist, and apparently are still being made. I could make recommendations, but honestly they're all worth watching, and they're nice and short too so it's not a huge commitment to watch a few every now and then. Art and animation style is kind of a hybrid between old school and modern, and it's really fucking well done if you ask me. Top notch animation and humour that hits all the right notes for me, what else could a man wish for? :v

Okay, so the new df dev log sounds like an april fools joke and frankly i cant believe it, but holy fuck does it sound awesome

[Arcvasti]

No longer do you have to search the ground for fluffy wamblers to throw, you can just start with dozens of them! This is probably the most exciting adventure mode news in a long time.

Praise be to the shoulder hamsters, may they live gloriously.

Thanks for this, I've been enjoying them as well. They do have a nice amount of detail put into them as well as lots of small reference. I've been watching some of the older episodes as well and, while I do still prefer the hand-drawn ones, these newer shorts seem to have a faster tempo and better timing on jokes. The backgrounds are also really nice, looking like watercolour paintings.

Hey I feel ya, I was getting a bit down about having bodyfat as I creep up on 38 after being a wiry bundle of teenaged muscle into my twenties.

Woodworking with hand tools is a surprising amount of exercise, great for pain resistance too, I now have to check if I actually hit myself with an edge by waiting to see if it bleeds... hrrm.

Spoiler: FINALLY remembered to snap a shot of my most used tools: my marking/cutting gauges (click to show/hide)

They're so damn important but I never think about them.

Yer welcome, also ditto. The old traditionally animated ones will forever have a special place in my heart, but these new ones can absolutely stand on their own. Gotta say, i also quite like the new Minnie, she's much more of a character now than just Mickey's Flat Love Interest(tm) (... and also her giggle is cute as fuck).

Sorta this, though I'm only 32.  When I went to college I stopped exercising as much, and I had learned to associate food with exercise/justification, so I had a pretty serious brush with anorexia.  Over years at a tech company I taught myself to eat "for no reason", which has problems of its own, and I was technically overweight briefly.
I'm now at a pretty good balance, in my honest opinion, thanks largely to low-effort exercise.

I don't think I've mentioned that your woodworking pictures are really cool.  Both my grandfathers worked wood, now that I think about it.  One made tools and things like you, the other repaired and varnished furniture for people.

Be careful about that pain tolerance, though.  That kind of outlet should be treated with caution, in my experience.

Heh I don't know if exercise ever made me "happy", though "relieved it was over" was certainly a thing.  The endorphins felt good, but it's a numb giddiness that I now recognize as being a lot like alcohol.

That's why I hesitate to call what I do now "exercise".  It's playing Pokemon GO, or Dance Dance Revolution on my lame plastic pad, or just picking a slightly farther destination and walking to it, to show I can.  The DDR is fully aerobic but there's a point where I get too exhausted to make any game progress, so I go do something else.  As opposed to chasing the endorphin high.

Well, I went to Krav Maga. Turns out it's more a kind of MMA thing, but it was still enjoyable.

I missed a good chunk of the lesson because between being unfit and the heat, the 10 minute warmup left me lightheaded and a bit nauseous, but once I got over that I enjoyed the rest of it. Highlighted my need to exercise more though. Doubt I'll do any tomorrow, don't think my thighs would appreciate that, but Saturday would work.

How much did you eat prior to it?

[hops]

Exercising is a good way to be productive without needing to think too hard imo

We live in a world where we're so efficient that we need to set aside some time to waste energy

[scriver]

It's funny because Krav Maga looks like the Swedish words for Demand Belly-a. Belly Demand

I was contemplating taking up leatherworking, but it's a minimum of £140 to get started with all the tools, and that's going for fairly cheap shit that'll probably break pretty readily. That's without taking leather into account.

Still, I have something to do, and it ought to motivate me into exercising more. I was already losing weight, but slowly, and adding exercise into it can only help. I think one of my issues is that the standard "Exercise makes you happy" system seems broken in my head, so I need to find exercise I'm interested in to enjoy it.

Oh god, leather the way I'm doing this shit means I'd need to dismantle a cow and tan it at some point, I think wood is easier, but more to the point, leather is something I can do some things with if I try, wood is something I just get, though there remains the satisfaction in knowing you're starting a project which doesn't have a guaranteed outcome. I've fucked up most of what I've tried to make, some in huge noticeable ways like my first snapped saw handle, others in little scrapes or badly chosen grain directions which only another woodworker would even notice.

Wish I'd picked this up twenty years ago though.
