![]() Ever since his voice actor, Miguel Ferrer died, any later appearances Death had would have him to be muted.This is heavily unlikely to be considered canon, however.In the Adventure Time/Regular Show Comic Issue 3, it reveals that Death from Regular Show and Death from Adventure Time are cousins.Death may know how to speak Spanish in "The Gift that Reaps Giving," he says, "de nada," after Life thanks him and kisses him.When Death plays bass, he plays a left-handed bass restrung for a right-handed individual.It is further revealed in " Wake Up" that even Death fears the Lich.Marceline referred to this as being "deathless." Although Death is one of the most powerful beings in the universe, there are some characters who can "cheat Death" and thus not be able to be controlled by him, such as the Lich, Orgalorg and Hunson Abadeer."

The body actually has no need for carbs, but it does need a small amount of glucose. We do this by limiting carbs from the diet. The end goal of a ketogenic diet is to be in a metabolic state known as ketosis. Once digested these foods turn into glucose and raises insulin levels. The basic macro intake you will be aiming for on the keto diet is approximately 70 to 75 percent of your calorie intake from fat, somewhere between 20-25 percent from protein, and then 5 to 10 percent of your daily calories will come from carbs.Ĭarbohydrates are 100 percent anti-keto foods. We call these keto-friendly foods and anti-ketogenic foods. In case you are new to the keto diet plan, some foods are rather ketogenic, others are not. NB: "Maintenance" and "No Deficit" will yield the same result Ketogenic/Anti-Ketogenic Nature Of Macronutrients A percentage based deficit is based on how much body fat a person has. This is why, after a period of time, people stop losing weight or lose it much more slowly. As our bodies drop weight, we need fewer calories. However, a percentage based deficit makes more sense. Cutting out 500 calories each day would result in a weight loss of about 1 pound per week. ( 3) One pound of body fat contains approximately 3500 calories. Health experts recommend cutting back 500 calories each day. This means creating a deficit of calories. Most people choose the ketogenic diet because they want to lose weight. What Does the Calorie Deficit/Percentage Deficit Mean? Weight Training: Weight or strength training 3-4 times a week.If you are a bike messenger, sanitation worker, or do spinning classes almost daily, you would fall under this category. Very Active: This category includes heavy physical work, regular exercise at a gym, or sports 6 to 7 Days a week.Moderately Active: If you have an outside job that requires physical work, such as a construction worker, if you exercise at the gym regularly or do sports 4 to 5 days a week.If you are on your feet most of the day, such as a store clerk or a teacher, you can consider yourself lightly active. Lightly Active: This would mean exercise or light sports 1-3 days a week, easy jogging, walking briskly and other activities for 30 minutes or so each day.Unless you are breaking a sweat for 30 minutes each day, consider your activity levels to be sedentary. Sedentary: This means only life’s basic tasks, including doing dishes, cooking meals, mowing the lawn, etc.You can also choose this if you want to use just the BMR value for calculations. Bed-rest (BMR): Basically, would apply only if you are bedridden.Although you might have exceptions to the rule (a yearly company softball game does not make you an athlete), try to consider your overall activity level. In order to use our calculator, you will need to determine your normal, daily activity levels. Eating enough protein will ensure that you lose only fat, while eating plenty of fat prevents you from feeling hungry and keeps you feeling satisfied with your food. When you keep carbs low you will lose weight. Our calculator determines your macro NEEDS based on your unique specifications, not simply some generic percentages.By setting a safe amount of protein intake, you will keep your lean muscle and lose only unwanted fat.Our calculator will help you set up an appropriate and safe calorie deficit. ![]() They simply list the entire protein amount as being ketosis friendly, which isn’t true. As we mentioned above, other calculators do not take into account the anti-ketosis ratio of protein.Why Do We Say This is the BEST and Most ACCURATE Calculator? More than 2.0 - Very ketogenic! Almost everyone will see ketones.1.6 To 2.0 – A good state of ketosis where most people will register ketones.1.5 To 1.6 – Mildly ketogenic where ketones will likely be registered. ![]() Less than 1.5 – not a healthy balance.They don’t meet the K/AK equation, as these calculators are not designed for the anti- ketogenic nature of proteins.

To be fair, the craft examples I’ve reviewed do taste significantly better than their Mexican macro counterparts. I’d like to see craft breweries try to explain that one to their customers. In fact, you can get similar results by just adding corn syrup directly to the wort to boost original gravity. Remember, flaked maize simply adds corn sugar to a beer’s wort. Therefore, I highly doubt a casual beer drinker could grab a pale lager and say, “hmmm, some flaked maize in here…must be Mexican-style.” It’s a stretch in my opinion. More often, I wrote “soapy” and “metallic” – two perfect words to describe almost any other imported macro lager. In my notes, however, not once did I write “corny” or “grainy” for any of the beers sampled. In my own taste testing of Mexican macros for this piece, I failed to do a side-by-side blind comparison test with American macros. ![]() And even for those who could tell the difference, no one was sure which samples had the corn in it nor did they have a preference between the two. Consider these taste test results where few could tell the difference between beer made with flaked maize vs. And corn flavors in beer are barely perceivable since, as I said, they ferment out completely. Brilliantly clear, relatively tasteless, yet “crisp” and “clean” pale lagers are the most ubiquitous beers in America. Several American macros are brewed with corn as well. My concern with the approach in Group 1 is that it isn’t readily apparent what makes these beers Mexican-style. Moreover, all but Corona mention “pilsner-style” in their official descriptions. Dos Equis says it’s brewed with cornstarch and corn syrup. ![]() Pacifico’s recipe was nowhere to be found. The official websites for both Modelo Especial and Corona Extra simply say “non-malted cereals” in the recipe. This approach to Mexican-style lager, which I’ll call Group 1, draws inspiration from Mexican macros like Modelo Especial and Pacífico Clara, which are brewed with some adjuncts – possibly flaked maize. Mexican Examples: Modelo Especial, Dos Equis, Corona Extra, Pacífico Clara Īmerican Craft Examples: 21st Amendment El Sully, Belching Beaver Buenos Tiempos, Full Sail Sesión Cerveza, Thorn Barrio Lager, Anchor Los Gigantes, pFriem Mexican Lager I’ll go into detail about Groups 1-3 and then throw in a few curveballs at the end. From my experience, it seems brewers gravitate towards one of three groups: 1) pale lager with flaked maize such as our benchmark Pacífico Clara, 2) amber lager with flaked maize such as our benchmark Modelo Negra, and 3) the Americanized beer cocktail of adding salt and lime to Mexican pale lagers for which there is no official Mexican example. However, there is no consensus on what constitutes a Mexican-style lager in the first place. For the past several years, American-made Mexican-style lagers have been creeping their way onto taplists and store shelves. Now, let’s pivot now to how American craft breweries have interpreted these Mexican lagers. But on the whole, the commonalities between them that stood out as “Mexican” is that they tasted old, heat damaged, soapy, metallic, and had no bitterness to speak of. They exhibited significantly fewer brewing flaws than their rivals making them much more enjoyable. Pacífico Clara was my favorite of the pale lagers and Modelo Negra the best of the dark lagers. After much searching at gas station convenience stores and sad nights alone with half-empty 24oz cans, I came to a verdict. Clear bottles yielded some awfully skunky beer, so I sought out cans for the most part and had to reassess a couple. For “research” purposes, I tried Corona Extra, Modelo Especial, Pacífico Clara, Sol, Tecate, Dos Equis, Victoria, Modelo Negra, and Dos Equis Ambar. In order to have a mental benchmark for this style, I went out and tried as many Mexican macro lagers as I could find. Last, it’s a cheap substitute for malted barley, though it can only take up around 40% of the grain bill. Second, since flaked maize carries hardly any protein compared to malted barley, protein-induced haziness is reduced and thus clarity is boosted. ![]() First, it typically dries the beer out slightly and adds a subtle crispiness since flaked maize ferments out completely – converting its starches to sugars and then to alcohol. It can be added directly to the mash of the beer for a few reasons. Part of their magic is the addition of flaked maize, which is just corn that has been rolled through hot rollers to remove the germ, oil, and most of its protein. For the most part, these lagers are relatively clean, have practically zero bitterness, but also aren’t cloyingly sweet. Mexican macro lagers continue to surge in popularity with American beer drinkers. Set aside for 5 minutes until the chocolate has melted.

The battle is thrilling but true to roguelikes once you die, even if you beat a boss, you start all over from the beginning.Developer: Fika Productions Publisher: Team17 Genres: Rogue-lite, Adventure Reviewed For: PlayStation Also Available on: PCįew people are fools enough to brave the perilous seas. Eventually, you’ll run out of places to move and be forced to take on the boss. ![]() For every three moves you make on the map, the boss “moves” as well, removing spaces on the board. The boss battles are intense and difficult, but possible to do solo. This is where the game could have done a better job explaining the different symbols since a large part of Ship of Fools is determining your strategy and deciding if you will risk trying to get the resources or skip that and go after the boss of the level. Some of the examples are shops, trinkets (which grant you bonuses), and special ammo, just to name a few. Others will require you to land on the spaces to discover what the picture means. Some of the signs are self-explanatory, like wood for repairing your ship. Navigating your ship on the map reminds me a lot of a gameboard. You also use tendrils to improve your cannons. Some examples include increasing your ship’s health, adding more harpoons, or giving you extra money. Back at your base, you can use the tendrils to make different kinds of soup. Based on the number of kills you got and resources obtained, your total score will grant you tendrils, the chief item used to upgrade your ship. Once your vessel takes on too much water, your run is over. Your ship can only take so much damage, and using wooden planks to repair your boat is essential to keep your run going. You can also deflect projectiles that come hurling at you, but this is much more difficult than how it’s presented in the tutorial, as a lot is happening in the heat of the moment. Next, you use your paddle to bat away enemies that have come aboard your ship or those who come close to your boat. Unlike the basic cannon ammo, you have a finite amount of harpoons. These might include money, resources like wood planks or harpoons, or shields that protect your ship. Its main purpose is to snag items that the enemy drops. Besides your basic ammo (which is unlimited), you can also fire harpoons to deal damage. You’ll want to keep an eye on the amount of ammo each cannon has, as restocking them is half the battle. One of these guns will automatically fire when playing solo, although the fire rate is relatively slow. There are four positions for the cannons, two on each side of the ship. Battling with a friend certainly helps, but it’s not necessary.Ĭannons are the primary weapon. The challenge comes with balancing the two different styles. There are two main battle mechanics cannons, with which you do most of your damage, and your paddle, which comes in handy when intruders board your ship. ![]() ![]() The lesson focuses on combat, so it doesn’t explain everything. ![]() After a brief comedic introduction to the characters, you embark on your first adventure, a short tutorial that walks you through the basics. The game opens with you waking up on a beach. But, of course, if you did it once, you could do it again, right? Thank goodness the resources you gathered during your run will help you upgrade your ship and weapons. Yup, that means even if you beat that level boss, you need to do it again. Each time you die, you start your run all over. So if you are a fan of this genre and have a friend that’s up for a challenge, this game is right up your alley.Īs I mentioned, this is a roguelike, and it’s the epitome of the genre. And while you can play this one solo, it’s designed (and much more preferred) to play co-op. Ship of Fools is a beautiful, tough-as-nails roguelike. |
