Ring Fit Adventure for Nintendo Switch: How fit is YOUR ring?

thats good to know since i'm in a similar situation where i live below my landlord in a squeaky apt and would probably use quiet mode most of the time

my ring arrived but probably not gonna unbox it and start my routine until next week

i should probably write a letter to the neighbors about the whole squeaky noise in one location in prolonged bursts thing, proactively, to address the situation.

one thing that is sad about the game: you start to get invested in smoothie recipes, working toward them and gathering the ingredients and such. meanwhile, irl, if you're like me, you're too lazy to get the smoothie ingredients so you just have to make due with water and alcohol and coffee.

(which, to be clear, is my holy trinity of beverages. i'm just saying there's still a chasm between doing things within the game space and changing habits outside of the game.)

I remember thinking as I grew vegetables and cooked recipes and meditated in Glitch (RIP) that it would probably be a way better use of time to learn to do the same things IRL instead

of course in the, hmm, several (eek, 7) years since Glitch disappeared I have done... neither

My wife and I have been grinding on this for a couple days. Pretty fun, and scratches that coins and medals collection itch. Looking forward to powering up and having my attacks become more exciting and ludicrous.

Tipp is pretty intense! I would love to see a video of the VO session for that guy as he does rail after rail, culminating in the most enthusiastic “yeah!” The world has ever heard as he keels over. He has made his mark and can be free.

i do wish there was an option to turn down the encouragement coach a notch! but the thing that really cracks me up is the relatively chilled out voice for the yoga-inspired exercises, which sounds like someone who has had 18 shots of espresso attempting to sound normal.

I now wake up early so that I can put in more time before work. I was travelling a bit last week and really missed it. I'm on the second part of world 5 (or 6?) where you focus on legs, arms, and abs. It is fairly challenging (difficulty level is 28 over here, i think). I'm enjoying the mix of exercises. I had to do some kind of tree pose to fool some bugs this morning.

I enjoy the variety, but the attack power of some exercises don't feel like they scale correctly. For example, you learn an arm exercise where you hold your arms straight above your head and twist them. This is very easy but has power 80. More difficult things such as the presses are much lower power. Same thing goes for high knees vs squats and standing bend vs planking.

I end up not doing more difficult exercises simply because the attack reward is lower.

get the feeling this party ends with me building an altar for the ring and worshiping every morning.

getting 9th gate vibes from the ring during some of these ab workouts

I've since found that there's a wide squat with higher attack later on. They know what they're doing. My leg hurts.

I also unlocked a butt shaking exercise that I'm embarrassed about

pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoy the yoga stuff in this game. I've never attended a class, so this is my introduction. I also enjoy how it encourages me to stretch afterward. I never do this when exercising on my own. The skill tree is a nice later addition to keep my interesting in tactics. I grabbed an extra skill slot, but I'm now focused on the arm branch. I need a powerful arm exercise that also has some spread.

My wife got to Lvl 75 and then you unlock a skill where you can jump over enemies so you can go harvesting.

Oh wow. I just got to something like 65, and I am amazed that the skill tree seems to be endless.

the level with the fan boxes on wheels that you can push and pull is very challenging. in ten years, competitive 'squattery' will be the most popular sport in the world.

Yeah getting the three EXP medals on that one is tough!

Smack back perfection may be the first time this really felt like gaming, and i enjoyed it. Enjoyed the dragon statue world. Punishing level designs where they just stacked more reps than you thought there'd be.

Oh god. So I bought this early in the pandemic and finally cracked it open today.
Severely underestimated a) how brutal the first world would be and b) how massively out of shape i must be and c) how bad an idea it was to do this in 80+ degree weather without AC turned on. Wanted to die by halfway through the boss level
Seems... good I guess? But I already see exercise as masochism so

Yeah exercise is the worst. I did Ring Fit for about 6-9 months into the pandemic and then stopped. Now I'm very out of shape. Can't wait to get back to swimming.

Feel free to adjust the difficulty, though. You don't want it so hard that you stop doing it.

Body's still sore from yesterday. Those squats! I'll try again tomorrow if my haunches aren't still aching.

Ok, Day 3. Still sweating like that Jordan Peele meme so I think this is working correctly.
Anyone notice the Joy-Con charge goes down really fast with this? I would expect the Right joycon (the one on the ring) to go down faster, but for me the Left one on the leg goes down to like 75% and starts randomly disconnecting around that time, only an hour roughly. The right one is at 50% at this point.
