How I plan on streaming WoW Classic+ in 2027

@stalmico Im eying some right now 😂

@sonii waiting for the standing desk to floor desk pipeline

Sitting / laying on the floor whenever I can has been the biggest game changer for recovering+deepening my hip/pelvis/back mobility recently. I have no idea why I didn’t get a setup like one of these sooner.. anyone out there got a floor(?) desk(??) Recs?

I feel like WoW: Classic+ has been more or less confirmed / hinted at for a while now and I’m curious.. What’s your wish list for things you’d want to see? Or general direction / style of development you’d prefer? I think SoD wasn’t too bad..

For sure is. And I’d say getting overly obsessive with any one thing can take away from being able to enjoy / do other things, too.. but then again how does anyone become very proficient or great at anything? Usually obsession to some degree. I’ve certainly noticed my baseline for where I enjoy my fitness / health to be is probably higher than the average ~ it’s all a spectrum, and we all individually go from there(?). Also something to be said about getting to a certain level of physical capability that you get addicted to, not only the endorphins / feeling, but also in many cases (for myself) the healing properties found in it.. both literally in physicality and figuratively in mental / cognition. Training is my medicine really. We also never know where one’s genetic health starting point is or what they might be dealing with. For some it takes more obsession and for others, less, you could say.

@sonii Is there a point where health and well being becomes too "obsessive"?

Yearly apologetic tweet for taking a hiatus from gaming / streaming on Twitch. Truth is it's taken me up until recently-ish to feel physically healthy / fit again. (Hormone levels good, not insulin sensitive, mitochondrial health primed, hips/pelvis not out of whack, endurance / strength / mobility solid) I know I may look a certain part throughout the year if you swing by my streams but reality is it's not hard to get complacent and coast on my health/fitness while looking outwardly fine but outside of streaming feeling like I'm dying (mentally & physically). The older I get ~ the more excessively sitting and gaming without balance does a number on my body and my expectations of what I want to remain capable of doing moving forward in life. Whether or not the perfect balance can exist, I'm not sure ~ but I am sure I'll keep ignorantly trying to some capacity. Will probably fire up the streams here in the coming week to chill and get caught up ~ miss gamin, and miss hangin'. To those that still hang around and support, I appreciate ya. This tweet / update is predominantly for you ~ always feel guilty not giving updates but there's a fine line between oversharing // living my life as well. If you read this far Naruto > One Piece ty and cya soon.

@AndrewSandfer doing the best I can brother 🫶🏼🙏🏼. appreciate the kind reminder

@sonii I hope youre taking care of yourself. Sometimes we forget to take care of our mental and emotional states. Men especially. Im sure you can find a healthy balance between what youre juggling. I appreciate you and have alot of gratitude for you because ive learned alot from you.

@DizzyUtd I actually hear this a lot about state of gaming rn =\. I think revisiting some older classics are worth but ya.. good new releases seem really few and far between nowadays.

@sonii Ur not really missing anything. Gaming is boring ss hell nowadays. Been a gamer since childhood but i’ve genuinely felt haven’t felt truly excited for anything since Classic launch 2019. Some cool games here and there but nothing major. Idk, maybe we’re growing old lmao

@Midexhealed Think that probably had a big hand in the recent break too ~ Aion 2 into AoC imploding left me a bit lost in terms of what to stream until future MMO launches / classic + or replaying Classic for the 12th time.

@sonii The mmo scene is so cooked its sad and difficult to be excited for new project. Best we can do it be patient.

@EatMoreVitamins I think I just tried to be genuinely useful / entertaining when I was super active on Twitch and social media over the last ~10 years. Never really felt “massive” to me, but it built up over time from that.

@sonii how did you get such a massive following

@zboogin Not really about sympathy. Just being honest about why I step back sometimes.

@sonii Buddy I don’t think you’re gonna find much sympathy by the fact you’re struggling to sit at a computer and play video games lol

@ThatNerdJake 1. Samurai Champloo 2. Naruto 3. Vinland Saga 👁️

@sonii Glad you’re coming back. Now rank the big 3 👀

@zboogin If the consistency is in me stepping back when I need to reset physically / mentally, I'm cool with that!

@sonii At least you’re consistent with something.

@raiojr If I just sat in a chair and gamed all day for the rest of my life I genuinely don’t think I’d feel that good😅 Learned that one the hard way these last few months trying to get myself physically right again!

@zboogin Woah look at that, almost exactly a year ago ~ wanted to check to see for myself. x.com/sonii/status/1…

@sonii I feel like I see this exact post from you once a month scrolling my feed and I don’t even follow you.

@KevxDelgado I don't think I need to make an "excuse" for why I took a break. I'm just giving an update to people who might've been wondering where I've been or whether I planned on streaming again. At the end of the day, stepping away for a bit was what I needed.

@sonii You are just making excuses at this point

@FuzzyLogic89 Well maybe you did it wrong!!11

@sonii I call bullshit. I've been close to this lean and you most certainly DO NOT feel great.

sometimes I forget what I’m capable of probably best I’ve ever felt and looked physically and this last training block has been one of my favorite ones applying a decade of trial / error with a sprinkle of new age optimization (no, not PEDs) Stay Clear. Stay Consistent 🫡

If you’ve been following me for a while you’ll probably have noticed that I’ve always just sorta stayed subbed 11/12% no matter what kind of training I’m doing. So my body has gotten pretty accustomed to staying at a lower % set point. The insane shreds in recent years have come from me going more into endurance training and the muscle from decade of weight training sticking around. I just can’t eat enough calories to not lose fat atm. I’d say any negative side effects in terms of energy loss is more from the energy output towards training rather than the body composition I’m at. I.e. I train for 3/4 or 5 hours im just exhausted from that. Libido is good. Mental edge / verbal fluency / memory recall all good. Think maintaining energy levels is more so where I decide to put energy in a day if that makes sense? Feel pretty solid.

Holy shit dude. Everytime I see you do a physique post you seem to get more and more shredded. Genuinely curious, have you experienced any of the negative benefits that are often associated with maintaining a very low body fat % over a prolonged period of time? Things such as decreased sex drive/ability to perform, brain fog or difficulty maintaining energy levels?

@payowow Only ROIDS i’m popping are the ones in the steppes homie 😎

@sonii NICE ROIDS LITTLE BRO
