--- Quote from: Sorflakne on 26 Aug 2021, 18:38 ---I've seen my fair share of memes about bad joints and stiff joints and the "Me at 10: sleep on rocks and wake up feeling fine, Me at 30: sleep slightly askew on mattress one night and can't stand up straight for a week" macros and whatnot, and it leaves me wondering what I've done/didn't do to not have bad joints as I approach my late 30s.

My younger brother and I both lucked out on being unusually limber[1] for having a particularly stocky frames. Even so, I still have to do back stretches to realign my spine two to three times a month[2]. Granted, our parents also made us play outside as kids [3] and we went swimming a lot. So that may factor in as well.
[1] without having to work for it
[2]because I have terrible posture 3/4 of the time I'm at my desk and sometimes I get overconfident lifting and spinning things at work.
[3] we still came inside for water breaks and if it got above 92°F we were quickly brought inside

Oof, my back hurts just looking at Marigold! May has a good point about yoga, but she should go further and recommend physiotherapy as well.

I wouldn't be surprised if diet were a factor in addition to genetics and activity level. Once some types of damage are done, there's no recovery. Frequent high sugar spikes can really do a number on you, and not just type 2 diabetes either[4]. Then there's all of the acid in caramelized pop these days. I still don't understand why high fructose corn syrup or aspartame get added to some foods that were perfectly fine prior to the recipe getting changed[5].
[4]Did you know one of insulin's jobs in your body was to help clean your brain?
[5] Sprecher's brand uses honey as the sugar in their soda and they went and ruined it with HFCS. Then, there's whatever the hell A&W did to ruin their recipes.

--- Quote from: Near Lurker on 26 Aug 2021, 21:51 ---Appropos of nothing, jacuzzi or no, I'm still salty, after nearly 25 years, that you don't get to play as Zelda except in side games (or those weird ones from the early nineties). I mean, she's wicked badass! Literally a sex-swapping ninja! And yet, you only ever encounter her at the end of her own adventure.

You'll have to excuse the providence of the inspiration behind it[1], but back in in 2013 Arryn Diaz put forward a brilliant fan treatment for such a game called LoZ: Clockwork Empire. The treatment includes details on the setting, the recurring trio[2], combat, weapons, outfits with different utilities, a unique magical artifact with multifunctionality[3], and schools of magic.
I also found out that there's a tumblr blog entirely dedicated to LoZ:CE which includes cosplay, fanart, and even multi-chapter fanfic. https://clockworkzelda.tumblr.com/
[1]Seems Anita went a bit mad a few years back.
[2] Yes, Prince Link (it's explained in the FAQ)
[3] I'm not accusing Nintendo of ripping things off wholesale. They came up with their own outfits, and added their own stuff to the whole 'you can weild any weapon you can lift' thing.
EDIT typo fixes
Perfectly Reasonable:
Marigold would benefit from any low impact stretching and strengthening regime, but yoga sounds sexier.
Also there is a gaming thread that is feeling neglected.
SubaruStephen:
Ok, this one hits home, hard......mostly in the lower back
Mr_Rose:
I want to maybe take up Tai Chi…
