People with bigger calves live longer. A meta-analysis of 37 studies found every 1 cm increase in calf size = 5% lower mortality risk. why? Two reasons: 1. Calves pump blood back to your heart (the soleus acts like a second heart) 2. Calf size = a proxy for total muscle mass. less muscle → more frailty → earlier death If yours are small: 3x20 slow calf raises daily. add weight when it gets easy.

The "significant backlash" that Saros is getting (we'll see if it's actually significant when we get sales numbers) is making me think. A lot of the anti-woke crowd doesn’t actually hate politics in games. They hate not being the default anymore. For years games catered almost entirely to guys, so a certain slice of players got used to every protagonist looking like them and every story orbiting their comfort zone. Now when a game shifts even a little away from that, they act like the medium has been taken over instead of just growing. What they want is sameness dressed up as purity. They want every game to feel like the ones they grew up with, so they never have to think about who else plays games. It is not about loving games as an art form. It is about wanting the industry to freeze in place, so they never lose their spot at the center. This doesn't go for EVERYONE that might align with that crowd though. There are some valid arguments to be made about shoving stupid shit into games just for representation, but I think most of these dudes are too dumb to think that deep.
