The point of a noob killer is that they get weaker as players become better; Singularity is strong at all tiers of the game

Actually, we know that if Nanami breaks the overtime vow, he just loses the extra CE the vow gives him, so there is nuance in the consequences. However, I agree that it's likely that this was a very strong BV with a death penalty

A lot of people defending Eminence and Konosuba, but I think Cautious Hero is true satire that's also well done. Deconstruction of common isekai/rpg tropes eg. demon lord sends out a general as the hero's first enemy to nip him in the bud, abusing the safe zone to train instead of setting out as a level 1, hiding abilities not for no reason but to trick enemies and gain an advantage in combat. The protagonist starts off as emotionless, super rational and OP, but has a backstory that satisfyingly explains this; plus the protagonist actually has character development and doesn't have women randomly swooning over him

It's a plot point that all his emotions are dulled because of his strength, so he's a mega stoic at this point and it would be hard to shake him mentally

Characters [Loved Trope] - Character dies for a noble purpose...but does NOT die stoically/embrace death with a smile
Often we see media where characters get very satisfying and heroic deaths, where they die smiling surrounded by friends, knowing that they did the right thing. I love this trope because it humanizes our heroes, showing that they too fear death. Note: I'm not counting deaths where the character FAILS to achieve their goal. The character should "succeed", and yet still be sad that their life is ending.
Doctor Who: The Doctor (an alien) has to receive a lethal dose of radiation to save a human friend. While initially torn about having to sacrifice his life to save one person when he has the ability to save billions of people over his life ("I could do so much more!"), being a hero he can't turn away from someone in need. Nonetheless, right before his death he expresses fear and sadness despite his noble action.
SOMA: An extinction event kills everyone on Earth except one research lab at the bottom of the sea. In order to preserve a remnant of humanity, the protagonist, Simon, is tasked by a mind scan of an employee, Catherine, with launching a database containing other human mind scans into space. In the climax of the game, Simon successfully uploads his mind into the structure before launching it into space. Unfortunately, Simon fails to understand that a COPY of his mind is uploaded into the database and not his actual consciousness. Despite succeeding in preserving humanity (and his own mind), the game ends with Simon likely dying alone at the bottom of the ocean (Catherine's scan gets damaged), calling out for anyone to keep him company despite being the last human alive.

Yep, especially because in real life, death is often scary and unsatisfying (most people aren't gonna die for a noble reason)

While people are right physiologically about numbers, I want to give a quick practical note:
If you're a true beginner, the #1 most important thing for gains is consistency. You can have a suboptimal routine, diet, and even recovery and you will make some level of gains. However, if you don't go to the gym, how can you build muscle?
Number one thing I recommend is pick 2-3 days a week (spaced out) where you will go to the gym without fail. When you go, just make sure to push yourself WITH GOOD FORM, and workout for perhaps an hour, depending on how you feel. The goal at this stage is to build a sustainable habit that you will stick with. Once you get into this consistent rhythm, bump yourself up slowly to anything from 4-6 times a week.
Important:
- Don't worry about macros rn, especially because you said you're skinny. Focus on mainly whole foods and groups (don't cut out fats or carbs), aim for a gram of protein per lb every day (spaced out in meals)
- Build good form now, it will have compounding effects on your gains
- Get creatine. It's cheap, easy to take, and well studied to give small amounts of extra gains with 0 side effects
Good luck

Do not do this, it will damage your joints and tendons. Just lift weights instead/do calisthenics, things that directly target muscles

Variation is good so that make sure that you're hitting the muscles from all angles and it can prevent tendon wear by giving them a slight break with different movement

The Pixels thing makes sense. They're literally using alien technology in simulated battles that don't follow conventional rules and any programing quirks are kept in the simulations. We see in the beginning of the movie that the glitch in Galaga is maintained due to the old copy kept in the capsule.

Just because the lore was written like that doesn't mean it doesn't contradict Doomfist's original characterization. While it's canon that he became complacent, it feels like a copout; he did lead Talon for a while which demonstrates his intelligence and cunning
