Basically any word or short phrase I can think of to mean "a lot of muscle" also implies skinny or almost no fat. Fit, or lithe bring to mind more a track athlete's body, and buff, ripped, jacked, muscular, ect. generally are though of more like a body builder. The closest thing I can think of is dad-bod but thats obviously still pretty far off as well as being male-specific. Is there even an English word for this?

Me and my girlfriend are attempting a keto-style diet, but I am a terrible chef and don't have much energy to cook generally. Previously I'd mostly eat soups and stews since I could make a huge pot, freeze some of the extra and eat it with rice, but most of the recipies I know aren't keto friendly (or at least the one suitable for a full meal). It also doesn't help that I'm a pretty terrible cook and my girlfriend is used to well-seasoned African cuisine.

I'm hoping to find some keto or keto-adjacent meals that can be prepared in bulk easily, and ideally (but not necessarily), frozen.

Was originally thinking of posting Lenmy content on Reddit to less directly advertise Lemmy, but in the communities I follow, its almost exclusively content or already posted to, or directly originating from Reddit. This got me wondering if there were any niches that Lemmy serves better than other, larger platforms.

For those who don't use Steam but would still be interested, the submissions are specifically from 2024, and catagories are:

• Game of the year
• VR game of the year
• Labour of Love for an old game that the devs have maintained well
• Best Game on Steam Deck
• Better with Friends for the best multiplayer game
• Outstanding Visual Style
• Most innovative gameplay
• Best Game You Suck At for a difficult game
• Best Soundtrack
• Outstanding Story Rich Game
• Sit Back and Relax for a chill game

Extra points for expanding on why you picked the games you did.

I have Trivia Murder Party 1&2, which are great, but was hoping to find a couple other options to play with friends, esspecially those that have specific catagories you can choose to play or to include.

Often, its asked what the fediverse or lemmy needs more of in terms of content, but are there any specific features or functionality you really feel are lacking?

Personally Im enjoying the War Thunder Halloween event. Its just races with weapons disabled, but its silly fun.

Edit: before buying

After spending the last few days, tinkering and trying to put together an HTPC for my family, I wasn't able to get a smooth enough experience to match even our old, ad-filled, laggy, Roku. In particular, every streaming service I tried needed to be controlled almost exclusively by mouse, as everything has been reduced to electron apps/websites with little-to-no keyboard or controller navigation support. As such, I'm looking for other options, although considering how quickly these platforms change and how outdated a lot of the information available on them is its hard to single out the best options.

In particular, I'm looking to be able to:

• Use Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+. Ideally other services too, since we tend to juggle subscriptions.
• Control it with a remote, controller, or similarly simple device
• Be able to cast to it from a phone

Does anyone have much experience with options for this - esspecially if you've tried multiple and can compare?

I'd like to switch from a smart TV to an HTPC, but trying to navigate a standard desktop enviroment regularly with no desk is a royal pain. Is it realistically possible to set up an HTPC that won't require this for regular use? I expect it'd have to be controlled with a game controller, given that there is probably better (or the same) support compared to using a remote, but thats just a guess.

In particular, I'd like to be able to use a few of the larger streaming services, my own video files, and YouTube. Are there apps with controller (or remote) support for these? I'd also like to be able to browse the web when needed, or better yet, be able to cast to the TV from a phone.

For reference of my own skill level, I'm not tech illiterate by any means, I've worked in low-level IT jobs, but when people start talking about recompiling software or that, I tend to start getting lost.

Edit: After extensive testing, it isn't viable. Almost nothing has support for non-mouse control, so I'll have to just get a Roku or something.
