Both, but keep it up.

Keep it up anon. Sure, you're an odd duck, but who cares. We're all posting on a Tibetian goat hair threading forum.
I have physical Gwent cards if you were by me would you play
Not him, but yes
Only If you wager a rare card
Yes, I keep condotierre in my backpack in case of emergencies where I’m in a group and we’re bored.
I would not play gwent with you
I will, however, engage in fisticuffs with you for said cards
Why would you do that? Fistfights in witcher are god-awful. Unless you're a pleb who doesn't play death march.
>gains skyrocket

I would bet my nuts that you have never lifted in your life
I larp that somehow adding another plate onto all of my lifts will make my life better.
Pic related, but change 1 year to 10.
Tell me anon. Is it true that northern women brap but once every 3 moons?
do you ever reflect on your mental processes and think about how autistic this is?
You wanna say that again Nekker?
>do you ever reflect on your mental processes and think about how autistic this is?
Not OP, but yes I do and it definitely is. But I'm past the point of no return. I wouldn't know what to do with the light, if I ever saw it. Nothing to do but lean into it and see how it plays out.
What now, you piece of filth?

Actual LARPing is the best way to meet autistic chicks. There are so many cute fricking chicks at those warhammer events

I like to LARP that I have been captured by aliens and they are observing me in a test lab, so I have to perform as good as possible to represent humanity. I pretend they are immensly impressed and shocked by my human strength and endurance, since they are skinny little grey b***h aliens who evolved on a low-G planet.
Back when I did track a long time ago I PRed by like 10 seconds on a 50ish second race by pretending I was Eren from AoT on my way to slay titans.
Lately I’ve been playing sequences where Goku goes super saiyan and the rate at which I get new PRs has been insane. This is the way.
>Lately I’ve been playing sequences where Goku goes super saiyan and the rate at which I get new PRs has been insane. This is the way.
Goku has been my go to imagination character, when I feel tired but have to willpower through anything.
Literally made me finish important projects and do sports when I was completely down.
I just accept that I am in a shitter at that moment, I then imagine I am goku and that I focus all my power and ascend to more and more powerful states. I'd literally flex and possibly be vocal, if I am alone.
That focus lets go of the feeling sof fatigue and I can bang out more energy.
I think it is same high cocaine of meth users feel (never used any). I always have had ability to regenerate quickly and push out just a bit more energy for one more spurt. e.g. in ice-hockey we are near last minutes and everyone are already super tired and much slower, and I saw an opportunity and just pushed myself harder, past the limits, to score. In gym as well - I always can push all my pains and discomfort away and do one more rep and one more. I have worked out until there were black sports in eyes or I nearly tore back muscles, I have worked for 3 days straight, zero sleep, because I had to finish a job (had hallucinaitons even), I also remember how tired I was finishing my research in Uni - I also couldnt sleep well, so I filled bathtub with hot water to enhance bodily processes and slept there for 2 hours and was back to work.
Never stopped, never gave up. Finished it.
It is same mentality as the Goku or any other character
It is a weird imho learned ability to ignore your body's warnings that it may go out and focus your energy and nerve system, to keep going further. I've seen this throughout my whole childhood.

>i agree and now own a gf
does this count as a larp? sex gains are nice though. i am blown away that she likes me to the point she wanted a relationship. we have 0(zero) similar interests. why would people enter a relationship like this? my persona is not even very likeable. will be breaking up with her this week.
>why would people enter a relationship like this?
She has daddy issues and you're a doormat
Why even get with her only to break up? You couldn’t just dump her after sex?
because this what i am “supposed to do”. i’ve never met a girl who i thought was interesting and wanted to hang out and laugh with. then again i don’t date a lot. but i’ve never had a girlfriend and people have been constantly asking me if i’m in a relationship and it got to me. i thought maybe once i have a gf i will like it, turns out i dont. but my parents no longer think i’m gay now which is a net positive. i do not think she is head over heels or very invested in me
is she 27-29? that's usually when they start looking for autists to settle with

Chad fellow scotfricker. Gingers are A++
Can I get a ginger gf if I am a ginger?
I had a ginger gf once but she was a schizophrenic bipolar nymphomaniac polyamorist so it didn't last long. She was hot as frick and the sex was whenever I wanted and however I wanted for the short time she lived at my place tho.
He's training for jousting, can't you see that much?

For me it’s Dark Souls esque, every Saturday I take a hike into the woods, there’s a wind shelter with mosquito net so I don’t even need anything with me but a sleeping bag and a yoga mat to lie on. I make a huge fire and just sit by the flames for a few hours, cover myself in the ashes when they cool enough to apply (whiles fire is still going) once I’m entirely covered I take a plunge in the lake, sit by fire again until I’m dry then go to bed. And yeah I have an “Estus” flask it’s either warm mead or whiskey.

That comes later. Geralt was an incel for much of his life and then got cucked by a homosexual wizard.
No
He got retconned from being monstrous and scary looking, to becoming gigachad (because normies wanted to self insert & it would boost sales)

He was still fairly grim looking in yhe first Witcher game, hate that he was all handsome and shit by the time 3 came around. He still had the same wit and (lack of) charisma when he was his canonical ugly self CDPR are cowards.

damn this is actually kinda based and sounds very fun
lmao, i do enjoy the ancient warrior mindset. Sometimes after a hard workout I'll go outside and bathe in the sun, like a warrior rests after battle.
Seems based, floor-eater anon
you better be built like a castle gate
based, I need to find my ancient stoic warrior larp
I do that too, sometimes I am batman, other times judge dredd. works like a charm with the correct ost.
I like to pretend I'm the Doom Slayer when I need to bust out the last rep. I imagine I'm crushing the skull of a hell baron in a glory kill or caving in a mancubus's chest with my fists.
It works too.
I also like to pretend im the doom slayer, but for Cardio. Either "The only thing they fear is you" or "BFG Division" blasting, hit a reasonable pace and when it drops i pretend im mowing through demons through every step. Keeps my breathing in time and makes cardio somewhat enjoyable.

I larp as Conan.
"CROM!" I curse after doing my calisthetics/cardio till failure.
I like to think I'm a member of Adeptus Astartes and work myself into rage about Horus's betrayal during my workouts.
Lately I've toned it down a bit; I think I scared one guy away from my gym when I told him about my larp stuff.
> work myself into rage about Horus's betrayal during my workouts
you are not alone brother
newbie its referencing a pasta.
>work myself into rage about Horus's betrayal during my workouts
Funny, i like to LARP sometimes as a Khorne Berzerker, Good thing i have a home gym. Would probablly have gotten kicked out of a public one for doing barbell swings
Someone post the greentext
So many anons dont understand this reference its sad
My sides, I read someone "lifting for the void" once idk if it was funny enough to be screencapped but this comes up from time to time
Interesting in one of Arnold’s videos he actually mixed alcohol with his protein shakes as well
When I'm lifting not really, but envisioning myself as an ancient warrior on a quick march through wild conditions helps a ton with cardio.

I'd call you based but your mother sucks dwarf wiener
Yes, because it's fun. For me, it's Longin Podbipięta from "With Fire And Sword". He was this really strong guy who easily wielded a twohanded sword in one hand.
>during squats pretend that I'm lifting a dead cossack's body
>during OHP pretend that I'm blocking a cossack sabre with Zerwikaptur (my greatsword)
>during bench press pretend to lift up a dead horse off me so I can go and kill more cossacks
>during deadlifts pretend to lift up this horse cart to put the wheel back on
I strongly identify with Longin Podbipięta, because just like him, I am celibate.

well you're effectively pouring extra carbs into your protein shake, so it's pretty normal for your lifts to start going up again on a bulk phase.
I pretend I’m vegeta when I’m doing squats. I blast his theme and imagine I’m getting ready for a big rematch with kakarot.

>when we meet sometimes (and it is rare, she lives far away) we relive all our memories, we frick like the world will stop turning tomorrow. It is uncanny what odd lives we lead.
>and I also am highly moral - despite being a bit rude and enjoying confrontation, I usually step in for the weak person.
>and since Witchers life eventually turned good, I sort thought that I am doing good as well. and it freed me a bit.
I think if you don't go too crazy, larping is good.
e.g. when I train chest I imagine I am Arnold and I just do sets till failure and then do more. Gains are always there. Also feels like cumming everywhere lmao

When I was obsessed with shitty MMOs, doing daily quests on 3 of them each day, I asked one of my friends why he bothered to work out. He told me "What if there was a daily quest you could do in a game that gave you free cosmetic improvements, strength increases, and stamina increases? And they only took 30 minutes to an hour for 3 to 4 days a week. Would you do them?"
I've been doing that daily quest ever since. Thanks autism.

>Is larping good for gains?
Yes.
>or am I just autistic?
Yes.
Used properly, autism can be a very powerful tool.
When I lift and eat, I think about if he would be proud of me.
So do you mainly work your thighs? Can you double jump yet?
>sees someone on IST that doesn't LARP
YOU DENY YOUR AUTISM ITS PURPOSE

>being proud of weak dyel cuck
you would be nothing in his eyes you pathetic dyel
he only respects people who are on his level of combat prowess
I usually lift with the thought of participating in an ULTRA-Violence Crusade, not necessarily against humans.
(I would maul the shit out of an alien-demon if one of those frickers ever dares to breach MY dimension.)
I enjoy thinking I'm Duke Nukem. I think and say his voice lines all the time, even make my own depending on a situation. (Dinner's up, baby!) I've pretty much made an entire character in my head based off of him
I've got balls of steel
Hail to me, the King baby
I pretend I'm Gon right before the palace raid, where I need to train to tackle a impossibly strong cutie.
I larp as somebody who has something beautiful to defend
I hate the desert of the real

(OP) #
no but I replaced skyrim with mnb:warband:warsword conquest with my comfort game and my gains skyrocketed
the game is overall skyrim but grimdarker and you and your faction have a larger impact on the world, i.e. capture towns and castles while it also adds in dungeons to explore that are very reminiscent of those in skyrim. Plus it isnt a steam roll once you do get engaged in faction seiges (like with vanilla warband) each faction can easily retake castles and towns by banding together to form a huge army
just recently in the siege of kislev i put myself in the foremost of the first wave and jumped into the thickest part of where enemies were and slew them to clear the way for the advancing ally wave behind me
my armor got soaked in dark red from all the kislevites I slew that day
Zased...
When I was a fat teenager in the early 00s. I did...whether it was swimming, running or lifting I pretended I was a character in an anime...Dropped 60 lbs in a summer. I don't have to anymore but I might bring it back...
Sort've. I often have nightmares/dreams that involve me fighting demons with my bare hands. The dreams are incredibly frightening and the fear I feel in these dreams is only matched by the rage that swells when the demons threaten my family.
I had one of these nightmares recently where a horde of demons were threatening my wife and kids and I went ballistic in a way that would've made my boy Guts proud. I tore those frickers apart limb from limb to save my family. I like to imagine training as my way of preparing for that level of visceral lethality, like these dreams are visions of the strength I've yet to uncover but is surely within.
When I'm struggling to OHP I pretend I'm Shinji strangling Asuka, usually helps.
