Anybody play Heroes of Might and Magic?

Posted by SaintTiger80 on 5/14/24 at 3:03 pm

I grew up playing HoMM 2 & 3. Apparently 3 & 5 are considered the best. Found it on gog.com for $2. Installed it and the Horn of the Abyss expansion. Still very fun to play. Has a surprisingly engaged online community....

[quote]How do you know your percentages?[/quote] Either test your squat, bench and deadlift to find your 1 rep max. Aaron Asmus recommends using 90percent of your true max as your training max. Or just guess what would be a challenging weight and use that as your estimated max. ...

Just get a cheap one off Amazon. If you are using the same scale every morning it should be close enough to track if your weight is going up or down week over week. Unless you are needing to track weight for some competition. Then you might want to get a nicer more calibrated scale....

I usually train Jiu jitsu at the 6am class during the week. After getting the kids in bed, I’m working out in the garage gym at about 830-9pm. Can be tempting sometimes to skip a workout at the end of the day and push the program back a day. But, it feels really good when you’ve been looking f...

I focused on dividend investing for a while.. advice I would give: 1) you are still buying pieces of a company. Make sure you believe in the value and growth potential for that company even if your focus is dividends. Companies that have good/great dividends but whose business model is dying will...

Diet is the biggest factor. No liquid calories. Only water and maybe a protein shake. Start planning meals so you are consistently eating good foods with consistent portions sizes. You need to be in a deficit to lose weight so figure out what you normally eat during a day and reduce that by ...

Not sure if serious? Haha But, popular opinion would tell you no. Too light of a load, too slow to fire, rifles are hard to maneuver in halls and doorways. I have a short barreled pump shotgun loaded with buckshot. Could also use a full sized handgun.. loaded with 9mm at a minimum ...

It’s frustrating that a random medical bill can just pop up in the mail. If I don’t remember receiving the service or even know the doctor then why should I pay. There should be a statute of limitations on medical billing. Visible prices for every service as well. Just my wish list....
