Laura and Liam in Cooldown, talking about Dorian's new sword (which has a cool "whirling dervish" multi-attack feature) and the potential of Dorian and Orym doing dance combat together:

Laura: You could have sex while you're fighting.

Liam: And if he hits, he can just keep hitting it again and again and again....

According to Matt in episode 97's Cooldown, Teven is Cabin Ron Swanson meets Tim Curry in Legend, so...

Artists, do with that whatever you will.

Musings on Cooldown

There's gotta be a better way to do it. There has to be. Every game has it's own things that are on cooldown. Doom grenades, halo shields, even (shudder) league of leg.

But in TTRPGs, the mechanic always seems to fall flat! Or at least it does to me. Cooldown tokens, recharge tokens, whatever-- everytime I'm playing ttrpgs online and I use a thing, at the start of every turn I find myself going "gog. digdt i evgen tagke off the tokgen." (the caffeine and lack of eating paired with intense tactical mindset have at that point made me delirious.)

Yeah, it could probably be really easily solved with physical gaming sheets and tokens or like pennies or something, but do I really want to print out gaming sheets? and gather pennies? Spare a thought for the printerless and paperless and pencilless and penniless. When I play a game, especially a wargame, I want the work to be done right after I make my models. To be fair, the sheets and tokens are still a very easy, very fast solution, but I am stubborn and i want my cooldowns cool and different.

Currently, DEATHMATCH suffers from this issue-- how you know if your frags are ready to be thrown again? Or your flashbangs. molotov, corruptor, the list goes on.

Couple answers:

Active Recharge: I didn't really like Gears of War 3, but the active reload was a pretty interesting mechanic. In honor of the game, the Active Recharge is dubbed. Basically, the thought is that we still have cooldown tokens, but you remove one everytime you capture a point, kill an enemy, move more than a couple inches, harvest-- whatever. Certain actions remove cooldown tokens. If you want, you can take 2 actions (which is all the actions in entire turn in DEATHMATCH) and remove all the tokens instantly from a single gadget.

Action-Based Timing: Everytime you take an action, any action, any action at all, remove a cooldown token. Gotta do more stuff if you want your other stuff back.

Manual Recharge: You want your Frags back? Fuck you. Removing a single cooldown token from every item is an action. Oh what's that? Cooldown 5? That's gonna take you three turns? Gonna cry? Like a little baby? Fuck you, shoulda brought the Overcharger.

But hey. it's very late over here, i'm tired-- you could probably think up more stuff than me, and you should tell me all about it!

By the way, DEATHMATCH update coming out. Dunno when, but soon. If a month goes by and it still isn't out someone poke me about it.

 🤸‍♀️ Stretch vs. Mobility: Wait, They're NOT the Same?! 🤯 Why Your Workout Might Need BOTH!

What if I told you that just hanging out in a stretch (aka Static Stretching) isn't the whole picture... and might not be what your body actually needs pre-workout? 🤯 Enter: MOBILITY!

They sound similar, but trust me, the difference is a GAME CHANGER for how you move & feel! 🔥 Let's break it down:

Here’s the simple difference:

🧘‍♀️ Stretching: Helps your muscles chill out and get longer while you relax. Like gently making a stiff rubber band longer. It increases how flexible you could be.

🤸‍♂️ Mobility: Is about moving your joints smoothly and strongly through their whole natural path. Like being able to swing your arms in big circles easily without them feeling stuck or shaky. It's about how well you can actually move yourself.

Think of it like a door hinge: 🚪

Stretching = Making sure the hinge isn't rusted shut, so the door can open wide.

Mobility = Being able to actually swing the door open and closed smoothly yourself, without it creaking or getting stuck halfway. ✅

Why does this matter for YOU?

Move Better, Feel Better: Mobility helps you do exercises (like squats!) and everyday stuff (like reaching!) more easily and smoothly. 💪

Ouchie Prevention! 🩹: Moving your joints well (mobility!) makes them stronger and happier, so you're less likely to get aches or injuries. Just being flexible doesn't always mean you're strong in those bendy positions!

Warm-Up Right 🔥: Doing mobility before exercise gets your body ready to work! Doing long, held stretches right before might actually make your muscles a bit sleepy. 😴

So, Quick Guide: 🥸

BEFORE Exercise: Do Mobility! Think gentle movements like arm circles, leg swings, walking lunges – things that get you moving! ➡️

AFTER Exercise (or Rest Days): Do Stretching! Now's the time to relax, hold those stretches, and cool down. 🧘‍♀️⬅️

Basically, you want to be able to MOVE FREELY (Mobility) and feel NICE AND LOOSE (Stretching). They work together! ✨
