This is tangential... AT BEST... but can you post some videos of your claimed lifts? High rep 300lb+ rows, 400+ squats, etc.?

I've been a strength coach for 14 years so I have been diligently practicing not taking lifters' claims at face value for, well, over a decade now. I want to believe, I want to be like Neo at the beginning of the first Matrix, ie, "He's beginning to believe", but until I see a video I can't help but think... nah dog... that shiz is highly inflated.

I'm 6 beers deep so... with all due respect... your game is amaze-balls regardless... etc. etc. etc. etc.

I'm using a hammer strength row machine if that helps you believe.

Here's a vid of me squatting 435x12.

Here is what I looked like in 2018 before wrecking my shoulders and elbows. Trying to get back to that now.

EDIT: I can shoot a rowing vid tomorrow, its back day.

I get stronger nearly every workout, even when cutting, but its slower progress. I don't do anything special, 2 sets to complete failure where I can (Not squats obviously), with a static hold for 10s (not all the time) on most lifts. 2-3 exercises per body part. More when bulking for size. I don't even care about strength, all I care about is size, but its weird I lift as much as some pro bodybuilders, but lifting natty for 30 years and you'll be doing some impressive stuff, especially if your consistent.

Well, the idea is that you'd be sacrificing precision with raw destructive power. Giving a buff to the player that lets them one-shot a block adjacent to the one they broke would still allow them to pretty much dig in whatever shape they liked.
Unless what you're saying is that adjacent blocks should have a random chance to just shatter upon a block break.

No it would do a small radius damage, so it would "crack" nearby blocks so to speak making mining of them much easier because they took collateral damage.

 
omegarte just reminded me. Mining Book, "Sod Buster!" would make your Pickaxe as good as a similar Shovel for Sand/Dirt/Clay.
Save a Slot and personally, I frickin hate having to constantly switch between the pick & shovel when mining an ore vein.

You don't have to, if you notice gravel is easily destroyed by a pick now for that very reason.

 
YES! the wife likes this version and is buying it to play together.she said after 20 years of playing her games to help her, it is only fair, and this version looks doable.

edit: damn it MM where is a steam sale when you want one!

We're going on sale for Halloween, but a hardcore fan such as yourself ought to pay full price. We did save your marriage right? :D

 
Vehicle Mod - Garage door opener
Please remember this for future as I think this would be an awesome mod for all vehicles to work with the powered garage doors (given you can make it work)! Thanks!

Not bad. Motion sensor or pressure plates work fine too.

 
Unrelated note: Just got back from voting few minutes ago or as I call it "Picking the one least likely to screw me and others over but am sure it will happen anyway"

History has shown that nice people are bad for the job. You want the snake, the vampire: Cold and calculating...

but with a smile.

and before anyone deletes this, we're talking about Walmart greeters!

The only thing that concerns me with that is the odd chance of mines caving in because of the area damage and not accounting for it. Would we see more than one damage ui pop up for each block affected?

No. I don't even know if its easy to do or performant either. We'll keep brainstorming.

And it was a profoundly welcome change. :-)

Note: Had to delete my old post, coz I done quoted da wrong one... /facepalm.

 
Did you preview it? I never preview any worlds I make I just play them.

LOL No I was just being sarcastic using "great", "greatest", and "perfect". Like well you know.

BUT, it does look like a good seed from the SS you posted. Desert mountains look awesome now.

Looking good MM! Now I know what inspired the gym equipment decorations blocks. 😅

 
Oh but I want to delete that book with something better, there is no point in bundling ore unless we screwed players over and made the stack sizes tiny.
Click to expand...
I got that book and I realise I don't have any Ore enough to be bundle, still waiting for one bundle of any order. I prefer Iron;s to be bundle instead or wood or stone. then ore.

No? People use algebra in their day to day without even realizing it.
Did you misread and think I said other maths were worthless? Because I didn't. I'm saying that at a bare minimum, algebra is frikkin' important.
Click to expand...
But some people do not realise that COunting money, adding your salary, subtracting their expenses is part of algebra, they thing it is economic only.

Thanks! Na the level design guys wanted to do that stuff, I did want a mole's gym though. I heard there is one but I haven't seen it yet.

I'll buy a 2 pack for some friends, just because A18 is so fun, I want everyone to try it. (I wish I could buy more but I'm having a hard time with money)

 
Yes but I forgot the table saw. I'll add it, if there is a destroyed version.
Click to expand...
No, there currently isn't a destroyed version of the table saw. :)

Any chance of adding a table saw to trader compounds that may/may not be broken, like the rest of the stations?

 
Seeing 7d2d all the way up on the 4th row of games (most watched) on twitch is pretty awesome. I dont know how much better this is than usual but the last time I checked twitch a long time ago it was way down the list. That's pretty cool.
