  • I realize this may seem more critical than helpful, but trust me, it comes from a place without judgement. This is purely advice, not criticism:

    Vomiting and pooping aren’t effective solutions, because they don’t actually help you lose weight.

    Vomiting with a high frequency wreaks havoc on your esophagus, vocal folds, mouth, and teeth. It’s a stopgap measure for consuming too many calories, but it won’t help you. Rather, it will only make things worse.

    Pooping does NOT lead to weight loss. This is a common misconception, one I held until my 30s! As it turns out, weight is primarily lost through breathing! Pooping is mostly just removing the waste that wasn’t kept by the body from the food you ate.

    When you burn fat the vast majority (like 84% or something) leaves the body through your lungs as carbon dioxide. The rest as water through exhalation, urine, and sweat.

    The key to weight loss is eating fewer calories than you expend. The simplest way to do that is to eat fewer calories, but this can be really difficult for people like you and me. The alternative way is to exercise, though it takes quite a bit of exercise to offset food intake. Just remember, anything that makes you breathe harder is helping you lose weight faster!

    Definitely talk to your doctor if you’re concerned about your weight, especially since it sounds as though you have an eating disorder (which are nothing to be ashamed of and are far more common than people think; binge eating for example is an extremely common eating disorder that I myself suffer from).



  • How? It’s a well defined term. If you don’t have a publisher and are independent, that’s what indie means. It has nothing to do with budget. Even an indie game can be AAA, because the term AAA refers to how expensive it was. These are two different subjects.

    That’s not how the term is used. Definitions are descriptive, not prescriptive. Wikipedia’s definition is far more useful.

    Take the game “Animal Well.” Go look it up if you haven’t heard of it. Animal Well was programmed by a single person, Billy Basso, as developer “Shared Memory.” It was then published by Videogamedunkey’s company “Bigmode,” the very first title Bigmode published.

    By your definition, Animal Well is not an indie game. But it’s exactly the kind of game meant by the term “indie game.” So your definition isn’t a useful one.

    Conservatives and liberals should be one circle called liberals with a smaller circle inside called “conservatives: the most hated liberals”

    *gestures at “Leftists don’t bother telling conservatives and liberals apart.”*

    You’re just proving the chart accurate.
