    I've been a long time viewer of W2G content as well as your controller guides, honestly it helped me a lot in the beginning, pushed me to improve and play better on controller and to this day I'm doing high end content and just smashing it out of the park.
    The Xbox announcement was awesome, more Warriors of Light joining us!
    I hope your health journey continues to go well, you're honestly looking great! You got this dude!
    You're honestly a really strong person and it's so easy to see that you've been through a lot, honestly inspiringing.
    And your big smile always brightens my day!

    I loved the XB reaction and thought it was a great thing finally. I remember back in the day playing Final Fantasy XI, we were all playing together. XB, PC, PS2/PS3 it was awesome! Definitely low-T makes it very difficult to lose weight, one of the best supplements for that I've found was Testro-X, by Umzu. Many young males have it as well I think a lot of it has to do with the crap put in food.

    Hey man, I'm glad you're coming back. Your videos helped me settle into xiv when I joined the game three years ago, I still check in now and again to hear your thoughts on new updates. It's good to hear you're working on yourself, I need to work on my health too. I really hope you enjoy Dawntrail and that it has some of what you've been wanting from the game. I really liked your reaction to the Xbox announcement, I'm happy for you, that's gonna be me when they announce Blitzball, FFX was one of my first games as a kid, and my first FF game, I'd like to see an expansion in a world like Spira one day. But yeah I'm happy that we have people like you to criticize the game, it's important to keep in mind that the game can always be better. I'm glad you're coming back, and I wish you well with your health and your family

    Glad to see you healthy, man.
    Yeah, this makes a lot of things make more sense. I'm with you on the XBox thing and having a thing open to so many people. Also agree with the perspective of...being content. I know so many people unhappy who have more than lots of people do, but are perpetually unhappy because they aren't content. They want more. A little ambition isn't bad, but there's a special kind of strength in being able to be happy and fulfilled. And I understand the depression thing. Felt that really strong when I got out of the military and moved home, just kind of seeing how the rest of the world had moved on and all.
    But yeah, working out and being healthy(er) myself, even with this Texas summer (live in the country about an hour east of DFW and it's been a scorcher, but the evenings aren't terrible for jogging), and I understand the importance of knowing portion control and moderation, both in food and stuff like game time.
    Be well, my friend.

      A) I didn’t feel gaslit as a member of the community. B) What gives you the power to decide who true fans are within the community? C) How can you make a judgement for the entire community when you’re one person within it? D) Surely fans that love the community want to see it grow and welcome new and old members back to share love for the same game?
      Let the toxicity go. It doesn’t benefit anyone, not the community, the game or yourself.

    Dude, I had a stroke last year and had to leave gaming (I joke that I was frigging Bobblehead Day at the Ballpark). I had to get right. I'm still working my life back and gaming has really dropped on the priority list, so I totally feel you. That being said, one of the only reasons I can even play anymore is by using a controller instead of my old k&m ways - your guides helped me a lot, and they're still just as good today as they were when they came out - they are something you accomplished, not something you need to work on, because you need to work on you. So happy and proud for you man, and make sure you let us all know if you bring your stand up to Austin, TX. Stay strong brother.

    I'm finally trying to shed weight as well with the goal of 40 lbs, and seriously I recommend going on the carnivore diet. For me at least I've lost 14lbs in a month eating mostly beef, chicken, salmon, eggs, bacon, cream cheese, honey, heavy cream, and lamb. Seriously I'd recommend looking at some of the videos talking about it cause for me this was years after eating the recommended salads and lean protein. Then after I started including high fat high protein meals I felt great.
    The first week and a half is brutal though after getting carb withdrawal and diarrhea due to your gut bacteria adjusting, but after that I've put on muscle without even trying.

    • @Work2Game
      @Work2Game  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Now imagine doing something like this and not losing. I’ve been fasting, protein, keeping carbs limited not eating after 8… and it just wasn’t working. Thankfully it is now, once my hormones seem to get better balanced

      @@Work2Game Believe it or not, I'd recommend adding animal fats and getting rid of vegetable oils. I don't wanna go into an essay in a comment, but cholesterol is one of the primary building blocks of testosterone which is why statins will tank it. A video I'll recommend is "What I've learned: The $100 Billion Dollar Ingredient making your Food Toxic", a guy named Dr. Ken Berry, and Dr. Chris Knobbe - 'Diseases of Civilization: Are Seed Oil Excesses the Unifying Mechanism?' I promise they're not quacks, but you can be the judge. Just figured I'd help a brother out.

    Tip to lose weight. Eat two to 3 times a day but eat only real food (no processed foods, pasta, bread, and especially sugar). Train something for an hour a day and something that makes you sweat and gets your heart rate up. I suggest bjj or grappling since it’s low impact and you can train hard without hurting yourself. I lost 60 pounds just with this and then was worried I was underweight.

      I’ve been so happy, and based on my health it’s at least a year before I’m anywhere close to being able to play again.

    Great to hear that you are working on your health, and I know you will manage to get where you want to be, since if there is a will then stuff will get done.
    As for mental health, that is something we men are really bad at talking about, especially if you, like me, grew up with the "men do not cry" mentality which is really harmful. But mental health is as important as physical health, and crying is natural or else we would not be able to do it.
    Enough of that rant, great to see you back.

      @@Work2Game It is bad for young men and boys at the moment, I also feel like society at large has left them alone in the room, and as they sit alone in that room uncle Badexample enters to tell them how to be a man, adding that if they only pay him some money each month he will spill all the secrets of being a man. That is, like you say, not a good long term strategy.
      As for myself.
      I struggle with sleeping, because it is when it is time for bed that the mind wants a chat, it wants to speak about bad things in the past and why I need to worry about tomorrow.
      I have also had a mild depresion for 20 years, working on that now.
      And after a period with a virus last year that did a real number on me I also get anxiety attacks in situations that I never had that in before and it limits me, working on that as well along with undoing the harm said virus did. Virus was not covid.
      My main takeaway from my own situation is that as a man it was difficult at the begining to speak about it, but I also noticed that some profesionals did not take me serious. A combination of those two things are, in my opinion, a big reason why 2/3 of everyone who take their own life in Norway are men, not sure how it is in the US.
      As for boys and young men. That is an issue that has to looked into, it is complex and it has been allowed to get worse over the years since talking about it is often meet with "so you hate women" or "so you want girls to do worse". Now I am not an expert but from what I have heard the starting point of that downward spiral can be that many boys are not mentaly prepared to start school when they do, which leads to a feeling of being a failure, and so the downward spiral starts.
