  • I guess the tuning of the game. With Sekiro there was, for the most part, a general linear path that you did to complete the game. You could go in some different ways but for the most part it was linear. With Elden Ring you can go in any way and as people have said, if you get stuck, go somewhere else and get higher level and go back. But I don’t like leaving so I would proceed to get dumpstered over and over and get frustrated which is entirely my own fault. But, in Sekiro it seemed like the difficulty of the encounters were created in regards to where you were in the story and even though they were hard, were better tuned to your character power. I bet co-op would be a ton of fun and could make my play through more enjoyable if I got back into it.



  • I can second both of these channels. Jeff is more straight forward and family friendly and Dr. Mike is as straight forward (maybe not straight tho, you’ll know if you watch a video lol) but with added comedic effect and maybe a bit more ‘bro’y’. Both are excellent channels for information though potentially more for intermediate lifters but you can def get great information for a beginner. They will mostly talk about sleep/diet/training as the biggest things early. Don’t try to complicate anything or do anything crazy. Another resource you can look into is Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe which will focus on the big three lifts of dead lift/bench/squat. Those lifts can be intimidating in the beginning because they are all compound lifts but will yield great results for full body strength and get a base.

    Be kind to yourself in the beginning and consistence is very important. Good luck!

    Also, if you really want someone to tell you what to do Renaissance Periodization has an app that will make workouts for you. It is expensive though I think $200/6 months but it will adapt to you and do everything for you. I have yet to try it but I’ve considered it.
