2024.05.18 22:16 enfpthings123 getting off zoloft success stories PLEASE
ok so ive see a lot of negative horror stories here on reddit about getting off zoloft so i would absolutely love to hear some success stories and positive outcomes PLEASE 🙏🏽
For clarity on my situation, i began zoloft a year ago exactly. I was in a very bad place mentally after my junior year of college and felt emotionally numb and overall depressed through the whole school year. I began getting depressed about college ending the upcoming year and feeling lost about what my post grad steps would be. after sharing this with my doctor i could prescribed zoloft (25mg) and have taken it for a year now.
Plot twist tho‼️ a few weeks after beginning zoloft, my endocrinologist diagnosed me with hyperprolactinoma (excessive prolactin being produced in brain causing little to no dopamine to be produced in brain.) Soo it turns out my depression was a result of a lack of dopamine in my pituitary gland and I have since been taking medication to regulate those hormones.
That said, my depression and reason for getting on sertraline/ zoloft was very situational and due to underlying health problems. So my psychiatrist recommended I can taper off of zoloft when I feel ready. I am in a better place now and am really excited for my post grad plans and exciting move to a new city with a bunch of my college friends and am very happy about the future.
About 1.5 months ago I began to cut my pills in half and take 12.5 mg every day for a week, then every other day the following week, then to once a week and finally I haven’t taken it in about 5 days now.
So please, if anyone is reading this, please share some positive insight and experiences or encouragement so i don’t psych myself out!!

2024.05.18 22:16 SchrodingersMinou OCD/Health Anxiety resources
This is the text of the helpbot response which can be summoned by the automod on any post by commenting with the word “helpbot.” I’m posting it here to make it easier for new people to find.
Many people use this sub to seek reassurance for their fears. This is not helpful for managing a rabies phobia or obsession.
OCD has a
helpful page about reassurance-seeking. Therapy and treatment are crucial to recover from OCD/health anxiety. Please don’t Google anything about bats or rabies but focus on accessing resources and recovering from your fears. You can check out
OCD and
HealthAnxiety for support and information. You can find a
resource list here, which is geared towards relationship OCD but also includes a lot of information about OCD in general, including FAQs, workbooks, book recommendations, Youtube videos, apps, podcasts, and videos of kittens.
Here is a
list of free crisis helplines around the world. Here is
another crisis helpline directory that includes additional countries. In areas where 211 is available, dialing this number can connect you with mental health crisis services in your area or help you find where to seek immediate help in your area. If you're in the US, you can text "MHA" to 741-741 to have a text chat with a trained crisis counselor at the Crisis Text Line, or call 1-800-749-2673 for the NAMI Crisis Helpline.
You can ask your therapist if they have any workbooks or guides they can send you home with so that you can continue practicing and working on your therapy between sessions. For the time being, here's is a
free workbook on anxiety and here is one on
health anxiety. You can also download
MindShift, a free app that uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy AKA CBT to help you learn to relax and be mindful, develop more effective ways of thinking, and use active steps to take charge of your anxiety. If you don't have a therapist, you can use
Psychology Today's Therapy Directory to search for mental health professionals in your area (worldwide). You can search by zip code, city, last name, etc. For each provider listed, you can read about their therapy approach, specialty areas, information about their fees including whether they accept insurance and whether they offer sliding scale fees. CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) or ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) therapy are often recommended approaches for treating OCD/health anxiety.
In the UK, you can
find more info and refer yourself for therapy via NHS. In India, you can call
MPower Minds and request a referral to a therapist who treats OCD or who has experience with CBT therapy.
Additional affordable mental health resource lists for India are here. In the Philippines, you can call a crisis line by dialing 0995 356 5332. You can find
a list of mental heath treatment centers here. For free mental health services and consultations,
see the list here (halfway down the page).
If you're in the US, your local
Mental Health America affiliate resource center is an excellent resource for information about local programs and services including affordable treatment services. The
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's Health Information Network (SHIN) has a Mental Health Facilities Locator that can also help you find community outpatient, inpatient and residential treatment facilities, including affordable mental health services in your area.
For peer support in the US, including referrals to resources in your area, you can call 800-950-NAMI (6264), Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. — 10 p.m., ET, or send an email to
info@nami.org. The NAMI HelpLine is a free, nationwide peer-support service providing information, resource referrals and support to people living with a mental health condition, their family members and caregivers, mental health providers and the public. NAMI also holds peer-led support groups in person across the US.

2024.05.18 22:12 Adventurous_Meal_879 Wisdom teeth removed, infection which is very painful
Hey guys,
While I'm writing this i literally am moaning and screaming in pain. I (M, 28) got my wisdom tooth right under removed last monday, and 2-3 days later i got the most pain i ever felt. Went to the doctor on friday, he said that it is infected and gave me antibiotics. So far it doesnt do shit, but google says it work at earliest after 48 hours, so that makes sense. I have a pretty high pain tolerance. I'm a prof athlete and broke many things, continued playing with pains and injuries, but nothing comes close to this. Painkillers dont do much, only for 2-3 hours it takes the sharpest edges of and then i have to sit out the next 3-4 hours before i can take something again. Its 24/7, its in my right ear, right eye, jawline, neck, rightforehead and right side of the mouth. I cant compare the pain to anything else i had before. In the last 5 nights i have slept a total of 15 hours at most, im literally sleep deprived and on the edge of going insane. Last 2 days lived by my parents cuz i cant take care of myself anymore. Anyone else that had this experience? The doctor said friday that it was an infection, and I assume he knows best. If it was a dry socket he would have told me/seen right? Anyway, i hope the antibiotics start working tommorow or monday, cuz i cant keep it together for much longer.

2024.05.18 21:53 DanielHoulis What else should I try?
Hello, everyone. 35M with Chiari 1 of “only” 3-4mm diagnosed at 17 years old with MRI due to headaches that later resolved. Subsequent scans in 2022 and 2024 revealed that the size has remained constant. Throughout the years, I literally forgot I had it due to a lack of symptoms and/or conflating the symptoms with Bipolar 1/ADHD and treatment side effects. In 2022, I had an onset of neuropathy with a job I took that had me bending over repeatedly. I remembered the Chiari at that time and got referred all the way to neurosurgery but was never able to go due to a move. Symptoms subsided again. I was on lithium, which I later learned increases ICP. I had jumpy vision (I described it as fast-forward vision) which was terrifying and for which I suspected mania, not knowing it has to do with Chiari. I had some photophobia that mostly occurred at night when seeing police lights and I assumed it was perhaps epileptiform activity, still knowing essentially nothing about Chiari. Went to a NUCCA chiropractor, at which point the photophobia became severe and permanent and I no longer drive, except on totally cloudy days, and even then with great difficulty. My symptom is silent headaches with immediate onset of dysphagia that goes away when I force myself to swallow and remove the trigger. It is still extremely debilitating and causes a panic attack basically every time because despite having never had a seizure except ECT, I still assume that that’s what’s going on and that I have to quickly to prevent it. When I finally got an EEG to try to rule out epileptiform activity it came back normal with no epileptiform activity, but admittedly, I was on a low dose of 300 mg of lithium (an anti-epileptic) because it seemed to help the headaches I was having at the time so I’d like to discuss whether that could’ve thrown the test with a medical provider. When the photophobia began, I also tried eyeglasses and have also tried several kinds of glasses for reducing photophobia, as well as greenlight therapy. Green light triggered headaches but going to get a dimmer to see if it helps.
I stay in dark rooms and get motion sick from the motion of tree shadows coming through the window (the intermittence of tree shadows and sunlight driving is my main photophobia trigger driving), screens in general, especially TV flashes on the walls. I’ve been unable to comply with CPAP therapy due to it making my whooshing tinnitus worse and me waking with a jerk right as I’m falling sleep, but I’m going to try harder to push through the waking reactions despite needing Seroquel nightly for sleep. I was already facing functional or total disability because of the Bipolar but now hopefully Chiari is some of the picture and I can regain some function. Phone calls, zoom calls, especially speak phone are difficult too. Because of pitch-dependent noise sensitivity. Car motors and other repetitive and sound sounds are also instant triggers. At the peak, was having bad phonophobia with onset of panic and weakness that felt like a blood sugar crash when planes and big trucks would pass, and only after hearing them consciously after the initial reaction did I understand what was going on.
I’m coming to the end of a course of physical therapy (with an emphasis on longer-term posture correction) with dry needling that definitely helped, and the one night that I was able to sleep with the CPAP seem to clear up a lot of the headache symptoms and some of the photophobia as well. The sudden onset of the photophobia has me concerned and I don’t want it to be permanent or worsen and I’d like to drive again. Also off of all meds, including psych meds because everything seems to cause this same silent headache with some crawling tingling around face and head and pressure behind eyes, and in brain stem and neck, plus overwhelm and a feeling of “shutdown” in the brain with dysphagia, severe dissociation—Lithium and Depakote did this, to my recollection, though they initially helped pain when I had that and I only tried a crumb—as is now typical—of Topamax with the same result of severe dissociation and panic. Admittedly, my problems with these panic attacks started when I had too much cannabis one time without prior experience but now Chiari seems to be a complicating factor and it’s hard to know whether ICP and Chiari stuff or panic is at work in these reactions definitively, but I also tried Gabapentin recently and it didn’t cause association just some calm with a reduction of muscle pain but an increase in Chiari symptoms on at least one occasion besides messing up the functioning of my sleep meds. I was adjusting my meds pretty frequently at one point and suspected them in the photophobia for a long time as well, but I’ve been off of all meds for probably four months now. I also have visual snow and nystagmus at night, when reading and I just catch it general when I’m outside—my eyes don’t know what to focus on and jump around and taking longer to focus the last several days.
I’m trying to get a neurosurgery appointment with Dr. Judy Huang at John Hopkins, besides trying to get CPAP to work and I’m curious about mild traction. It seems to help me when done rightly, but I know there are conflicting reports here about it and that it’s pretty individualized. Sometimes when therapies I try seem to be going poorly, perhaps I quit it too soon, but sometimes I gaslight myself and tell myself to try harder and push through bad reactions. There’s only so much I can do about severe dissociation and panic attacks and no one around me gets it but thankfully, my providers are fairly understanding. What else should I try between now and then? Thanks for listening to the rant. Please weigh in if it connects with your experience!
P.S. Certain things I try like rolling my neck and very light traction (tried some as we speak!) make me feel worse in the short term and then better afterwards maybe because the CSF is still settling or my brain is adjusting to changes in pressure, etc. It appears at this time the headache is much better and the tingles have moved to different parts of the head and it’s generally of a different character with the visual changes being different perhaps since the underlying structures shifted position. Ibuprofen helps and sipping caffeine does but it’s a mania trigger. Nothing rids me of the photophobia. I am able to go the gym with its fluorescent lights again after physical therapy whereas I used to do so only with sunglasses. Still spending all day avoiding triggers and recovering from them.

2024.05.18 21:31 Illustrious_Fan9974 Balance changelogs that i wish to be applied
[---Buffs---]
HANK! - Charging time : 3s-2.5s
- Added tank trait
- Its GONNA Blow (Sp ) : 10%-15% efficiency
- Hp value 10800-11600
( Despite this SHRIMP got huge BUFFS yet still staying on the bottom of the tiers ,is really unideal For that being. This should make him put more pressure and be a little defensive on close range scenario's . Also his sp where he gets his speed buff should be increased as it is only a 10% increaseal )
BARLEY - HP value: 4800-5000
- Reload speed increased by 5%
( I tried not to give everyone a DMG change since DMG inflation is continuously rising over time.... Soo tried some alternative options tbh. )
TARA - Both of her spawnables hp from SP increased by 800 ---( 2400-3200)---( 3000-3800)---
( Nobody's Talkin about how she fell off in the last few months.
BTY tried a different buff for her. What I've seen is what her spawnables hp from both of her SP is still the same even aftrr the universal stat buff. No wondy why her spawnables are soo fragile RN. )
JANET - Attk range: 8.33-9 blocks/tiles
( Hot take but the only thing that i suffer when playing janet is how low her range is.... As a marksman, she just..... Doesn't seem too have enough range, AKA underwhelming ..... Havin that low of attk distance also makes her more fragile, TBH i think this single buff is enough to give her a substantial improvement. )
DARRL 1.Steel hoops SP : Effect duration 2s-3s
- Projectile amount : 5-4 DMG Distribution ==> 480--600 per projectile
- Rolling reload: now also grants CC immunity for 1s
( Darrls viability is slowly descending due to better picks and HCS ( OFC ) but instead giving a basic Hp Buff, i thought what about buffing his steel hoops, as now he can be more aggro with his playstyle as he will be alot tankier . Also with the second change, he can do more consistent chip DMG even at max/mid range)
DOUG - Base healing: 1200-1600
- Teammates after reviving by his super will get 25% Shield for 3s
ASH - FULL Rage gained from receiving DMG : ==>125%- 100% of his base hp
- Rage bar now decays 15% slower
( He is also powercrept due to not having a HC as tanks get the most benefit from it and get the most sufferings without it...BUT, recently i am seeing that, as more characters are getting HCs, tanks HCs are also getting powercrept. Those HCS are still Strong tho ...... But i dont think a single HC will make him alot better. This change should let him be more AGGRO tbh )
[--MISCELLANEOUS BUFFS--]
HIEST SAFE: Base HP increased by 25% Upto ==>(80000-100000 hp)
2. Now has a Damage cap of 5000 per second
( Do i need to say somtin?.... HIEST recently has been INSANELY powercrept due to more high DMG dealing characters as well as balance changelogs, this sure is a necessary change RN)
[---DeBuffs---]
ANGELO - movement speed reduced to fast when charging attks ( from very fast)
- SCR : 2-2.5 shots
- Main attk DMG : 4400-4000
( Absolute insane marksman RN... The HIGH DMG combined with his insane speed is ridiculous )
MELODIE - Dash range reduced by 25%
- Base SCR : 4-5
- SCR from notes cut in HALF.
Misc: 1. After hitting a main shot, notes will no longer Dmg target's on the middle of the attacker ( Nerf )
( INSANELY high mobility and Very fast SCR... Considering how easy to hit shots TBH.... Also nobody's giving a Fuck about it... But for some reason, when applying her basic attk, the notes appear literally from her a-- inside..... , Dealing 2760 per attks... Even if all 3 of your notes are charged, u still do insane Dmg with that goffy ahh gimmick. [ 920 from basic attks+ 1840 from the notes ] this substantially increases her Burst DMG value... also once she gets her super... its pretty easy to cycle it with her notes as the notes charge rate is the same as the base SCR, aka 4 hits......Allowing her to do absurd teamwipes . Also the inability to charge notes from special targets will make her an insane Victim of spawners like Nita and Jessie )
PIPER - DMG value: ==>3400-3200
- Autoaimer (gadget) : knockback removed, and increased slowness by 300% ( 0.5-2.0s slow ) and DMG increased to 800 from 160
( Having two jail free cards as a marksman are already insane, soo one of them should be tuned down, this gadget change will let her intruder's aproch slower but will not cancel their attks . Mainly the intention is , there should be a way to counter her Greatly in close scenarios.
And talk about her DMG, IMO way overtuned, way too much rewarding when shot hits , needs a balance between like what happened to Nani. )
SANDY - HCR : 60%-40% ( 1.66-2.5 supers )
( His HC is incredibly strong AF, As if it wasn't enough..... )
JESSIE - HCR : 60%-50% ( 1.66-2 Supers )
( got overtuned TBH, getting that much 10k hp turrets are just too overwhelming )
BELLE --HYPERCHARGE TWEAKS--
- DMG boost: 25%-20%
- Speed boost: 26%-18%
( BELLEs high DMG boost from her HC makes her soo much deadly, so does the speed which also does insane job )
BYRON - Base healing/DMG: 760-720
( Ok i am sorry, but IMO his Dmg/heal got way overtuned.... I already Kinda doubted that after this change he might need a small Nerf... But at the same time... I think he will still be really Good )
CHARLIE - Spiders hp decay increased ( 10%-20%) Upto 10-5s spiders endurance .
- Victims can now heal and reload when they are in her cocoon with 30% less efficiency.
- Attk unload delay: 500ms-750ms
( IDK how to balance her super TBH. She has to be one of the most unserious character supers I've seen. A fast paced multiplayer game where u always have to be active, Havin a character who literally makes u being idle for a decent period of time.... Like even if the super was 3s, she still will be good... Bcuz of how her super works. her Allie's including herself, gets a huge advantage in many scenarios, because 5s is still enough to do the impossible in ongoin matches, atleast in competitive. Soo increasing the decay again will let her and her allies do less amount of crazy plays and other shit. But if u have any ideas, just let me know how to balance her super properly
but what can i see for now which needs a deserved change is that the spooders gadget Imo is still pretty braindead and strong at the same time.... 10s of endurance if doesn't get damaged helps her soo much for control , this especially helps with single non pierce attkers . This should do the damn job .
*
BUFFS , DEBUFFS and CHANGES * MANDY --CHANGES--
- first star power is now baseline. it is replaced with THE new SP ( In my sight's)..... Which increases the upper and lower view point by 15% in focused mode...
( IMO her 1st SP is a must for her kit..... So i tried making her 1st sp baseline as I think, she is quiet unviable without it....)
CHESTER --buffs--
- Main Attk DMG: ==( 1280-1400)
- SCR : 7-- 6 bells
- Poprocks super now have a throwing range similar to other spawners like Nita.
--REWORKS--
- 2 nd sp now reveals enemy's ammo bar and charge rate ( CHARGE RATE bar amplifies like lous freeze bar)
- 1 st SP now removes one cap bell attack and cycles between 2-3 bells
(Although OUR Mighty JESTER dosent have any good competitive purposes, he still feels awfull in Ladder as well.... bumping the DMG will make his long range shots more rewarding and reworking his 1st SP will reduce his Burst DMG buuuut, this SP will indeed increase his Consistency over DMG even more...)
KIT ( SIZABLE REWORK )
--Buffs--
- after leeching out from an allie, he will gain 33% of his super back
- Super duration when leeched on allies 10s-12s
--DEBUFFS--
- MAIN attk DMG : 2000-1600 ( revert)
--changes ( Reworks )--
1.Power hungry ( SP) : renamed to " Enter context ". When leeched to an allie, his allie will passively Charge its super similar to kit himself, but it will be 20% less effective.
- Cardboard box ( gadget) : renamed to "Enter context" will increase leached allies movement speed by 25% for 5s
- Overly attached ( SP) : renamed to " Enter context" . Will get 40% DMG when super is applied to opponents and targeted victim will receive 20% more DMG from all source's. The Dmg buff also Includes kits super DMG.
- Cheeseburger ( Gadget) : will now heal kit even if he isn't leeched to any allies. But it will be 30% of his max HP. And now has a maximum healing cap of 4000 . ( small Nerf) so no more Kit + Big tank combo.
- After leeching out of an Allie, he will gain 25% DMG reduction for 5s
( Tried to make him actually decently supportive rather assassin type. Hot take but kits whole system is just messed up. From gadgets being not supportive enough to SPs being very situational. One thing i also noticed that, supportive characters who has shorter range generally suffers more than the other supports. And not to mention, his super is not that consistent. After leeching out of an Allie, he literally losts his whole damn super and considering he has no other way to fastly charge his super except attacking others opponents, which he suffers again cuz he has short range , low burst and low Hp. So He has to passively charge it most of the time. Which takes a while where 20s to be exact. So i tried to make his super just a little more cyclable and tried making his whole gadget, SP reworked . To make him supportively better. Soo lastly, WDYT? Did i overdo it, or like overbuffed him? Let me know tho. For any improvements)
CHUCK --Debuffs--
- Cant place polls in a HIEST safe ( in a radious of 4 tiles )
--Buffs--
- Reload speed 2000ms-1800ms
- projectile speed 1750-1860
--CHANGES ( small reworks) --
1 .autoaiming outside the polls will no longer place one , instead all poles now need to be placed manually.
- Reroute gadget will pick up the nearest pole instead of last placed pole. The gadget Will Still pick up poles even if the super is Charged
( Outside heist and few hotzone maps.... He recently started to become outshined by other controllers. His kit is really weird as it only works decently on specific modes and maps. Soo kinda tried to rework some of his base stats .
And this change to his super will let him do more good pole placements soo he can do more controlling attribution for his team.. although WDYT?.
SAM ( SIZABLE REWORK)
--Changes--
- 1st SP is now baseline. it is replaced with ( insert name ) which upon deploying his super, he will be immune to all CC for 1.5s
- 2nd SP is now reworked, after launching his super, after 10s, he will instantly charge his super. (Doesn't passively charge bty )
- 2nd gadget is now reworked as well to ( insert name ) . It is like sprouts one, when knuckle Busters are on the ground , using this gadget will automatically home in to himself and will deal 1800 DMG
( He is completely dependent on his 1st SP ... IMO making it baseline is important, second of all... Both of his 2nd gadget and SP is Dogshit.... It really need some love... Soo tried this Rework to remove some of Sam's weaknesses. Also. Is the first SP rework good or just made it too strong ?, let me know)
OR, ( Quickfix)
- knuckle Busters pickup timing reduced by half .
- Hp Value: 10800-11200
FANG --debuffs--
- SRR : 45hits
- Super DMG: 2400-2200
--buffs--
- Main attk DMG : 2720-2800
- Super dash speed: 4000-4500
HYPERCHARGE Tweaks
- HCR : 20%-30% -- ( 5-3.33 supers)
(fresh kicks SP has been always a must pick for his kit, and now because of his buffed SCR , this SP just straight makes him to be able to destroy low-mid ladder player matchmakings . Although he is counterable in competitive matches. But knowing the fact that 70% of the whole player base are casuals, i think he actually needs a super Debuff, cuz NOBODY likes to get teamwiped in a matter of seconds. He was already pretty solid IF U PLAYED HIM well enough which most of the people weren't. After his SRR buff, he already became STUPIDITY braindead as it is pretty EZ TO cycle supers.
Now i just wanna make him skill based as how he was before sep 2023. The main thing that i noticed was his SRR change is what made him less skill
Tried to revert it. But also giving him some buffs to balance thing's out.
GUS ( Rework to supportive gimmicks )
--Buffs--
- spirit heal: 1600-2000
--CHANGES--
- Hitting a Spirit Charged attk on a wall will now spawn a Ghost as well
- Kooky popper( gadget) : added knockback but DMG is cut in 1/4th . 2000-500
- 2nd gadget: removed HP sacrificial ( 5%-0% ) And next attk upon Activation will spawn 2 spirits
( Really hoping this will make him shine again, tried to make him supportively viable by making the spirits actually useful for healing his Allie's. Keep in mind that the sprits healing buff is an indirect buff to his 1st SP as well. Allowing his allie to heal upto 4000 which is pretty substantial. And adding some kind of CC to him soo he can atleast retreat with THIS but added additional nerf to it for a compensation. )
LOU DEBUFFS:
- Hypothermia SP : Max DMG reduction. 50%-35%
BUFFS:
- Hp value: 6400-7000
- SCR : 8-7 shots ( without SCR gear )
HYPERCHARGE tweaks (DEBUFF)
- Hypercharged super insta freeze -70% of the freeze bar will be filled
( Same is COLGATE, not any big problems on his main kit, except his HYPERCHARGE.... Buuut supercell really likes to kill a character whos main issue isn't his base kit. also his hypothermia SP is kinda getting slept on as how secretly STRONG AF it is. You can still almost insta freeze any enemy with HCed super combined with Cyro Shyrup )

2024.05.18 21:30 Wooden_Researcher_36 Started taking bupropion/amfebutamone
43 years old. Had MS for 30 years. RRMS. Currently on Fingolimod, been on Rebif for far too long before that. The first decade with it I was struggling a lot with fatigue, but then "learned to live with it" and I've been doing pretty good since then. Sometimes dead fatigued to the point where it looks like I'm on heroin, yes, but mostly not.
That changed after COVID. I've been walking in a haze since then. Dead tired all the time. Felt like I was carrying another person or two on my back. In combination with challenges on the home front it's been rough.
So, at the beginning of the week I was reading some posts on this sub, and stumbled upon someone talking about the drugs in mention. I did some googling on my own, and thought "why not" and went ahead and did a trial run. I live in Mexico, so even tho it theoretically requires a prescription the pharmacists don't care. I got the 150 mg extended release for like 27 USD for two weeks' worth.
I don't know what the policy is about swearing here, but holy son of a monkey, balderdash and barnacles.
Fairly immediately (30-60 min) after taking the first pill I felt like the load on my back was gone. I could actually function. My brain fog cleared. I don't feel high. Except for a slight headache the first days and increased REM activity it seems like there have been no bad side effects. And I'm just... I feel normal, I guess. It's insane. At 8:30 PM I crash hard after putting the kids to bed, but it's a good tired not the oppressive fatigue.
I've only been on it since Monday, but oh boy oh boy, I'm officially a fan.
Not advocating for self-medication, nor experimenting with your body. Milage may vary and as with other drugs the side effects can be harsh.
Anyways, just felt like sharing my sunshine story. I'm still having a hard time believing that it's possible for me to feel like this (again).

2024.05.18 21:18 tattootemptresss I regret euthanizing my cat. Now my life is ruined.
4 days ago I brought my 7 year old baby boy to the vet for euthanasia. Now I’m having insane regrets. He was in kidney failure with dental disease. The dental disease is what caused the kidney failure because I wasn’t aware of the wounds in his mouth until I saw him eating his food in a strange way. His vet recommended surgery to clean and extract some of his teeth. When i brought him in for his surgery, the vet ran some blood work and discovered my baby boys kidneys failing so they couldn’t do his surgery. He was put on a prebiotic medication and a special kidney diet for about a month then I brought him back in for more blood work. His kidneys had only gotten worse. Vet recommended a scan on his kidneys which would have costed me $600 and I didn’t have the money. I should have asked for help but I didn’t and now it’s too late.
A little bit of time passes and he deteriorates. He got down to only 5 pounds because of his tooth pain despite me making him a slurry soup of wet food and water. He couldn’t hold his jaw closed and was drooling green puss on himself. I knew that he couldn’t get his surgery yet because of his kidneys so I wanted to bring him back in for some pain medications and the stuff he gave me last time to clear up his mouth so he’s a little more comfortable. My boyfriend recommended euthanizing him to take him out of his pain. I refused for a few days then finally broke down on Tuesday and took him to the vet. He convinced me it was the right thing to do.
I made an appointment specifically for euthanasia and when I brought him in, they had already set his room up with blankets and tissues. They didn’t ask any questions about him or offer me any alternatives… but I didn’t ask. I didn’t even ask them if I could get some more of the medicine that helps clear up his mouth so I could hold onto him a little longer and get his kidneys back to normal.
Was it really his time? Few days before, I brought him into the back yard and he chased a lizard. He looked happy and comfortable. He still wanted to snuggle all day every day, even on his last day. He still walked up to me demanding attention and followed me around. He still gave me kisses and purred. We had a very special connection. A connection that only happens once in a lifetime. I talked to him…. And he understood me. We went through everything together. Almost every adult milestone was met with my baby boy by my side. I kissed him on the nose every time I saw him and he would reach up and kiss me on the nose right back. I’ve never felt such immense, unconditional love from any being. I miss him so much and wouldn’t have brought him in for euthanasia if it weren’t for my boyfriend pressuring me into it.
All I can do is cry my little eyes out every day. Even at work. I feel like my life is completely over just knowing that I can never see him again. I’d do anything to hold my best friend one more time. Did I do the right thing? I’m struggling.
I’ll have his ashes back soon and his urn will sit in his favorite spot.

2024.05.18 21:15 Virtual_Switch6996 Recovery repost
I'm going to link my previous post but it won't be there bc it was removed.
https://www.reddit.com/covidlonghaulers/s/vac8kfy5To I just stated what I took and helped me recover in 2 months. I talked about ivermectin but also a list of supplements I'm going to repost it here. If you guys/mods plan to remove my post again could you tell me what guidelines I didn't follow? I shared my recovery story just like many other people share what they did or took that helped them.
So take it how you guys want if it gets deleted again. I'm going to repost here along with one more update and if it gets removed again then just screenshot my tips if you want to apply them to your protocols. GOD BLESS.
Update at the end POST: I want to start by saying I am aware everyone's case is different. I'm not stating this is the ultimate cure for everyone since long covid is a unique case for each individual.
So I started experiencing long covid since Jan 2022 after an infection that passed fairly quickly, i got the vaccine a few weeks after. By July 2022 I starting experiencing strange symptoms which I know now to be long covid. I had two symptoms: A pressure throbbing facial pain 24/7 behind my nose, eyes and forehead and an elevated temperature 99.5-100F. I did the initial rounds like we all have and everything kept coming back normal, got on nerve medications but they failed. They told me I had atypical facial pain trigeminal neuralgia type 2. I was pretty much left in the dark. I didn't know what I had could possibly be long covid until March 2024. After finding people similar to my case, I talked to my doctor about it and started researching.
March 2024 I was put on Nurtec ODT this helped me manage my pain to some level, its used for migraines
April 2024: I started targeting the viral load and spike protein degeneration via supplementation and prescriptions.
Prescriptions:
- Ivermectin - every other day for 6 days, now once a week. I will keep doing this for many more months regardless, and if i get infected again it will be first thing i take for 3 days straight. I saw this work first hand on my dad in 2021 but I didn't take it when i got infected.
- Clarithromycin - Currently finishing up my 2 week course i got this for SIBO overgrowth from covid immune suppression. Its showing up on long haulers, overgrowth can cause brain fog and headaches. You can ask your provider for a test.
Supplements:
- NAC - 500mg 2x a day for spike protein denaturation
- Vit C - 1500-2000mg a day
- Glutathione 250 mg once a day for spike protein denaturation
- Nicotine gum - 2mg 2x a day (To bind to the acetylcholine receptors covid binds to, so it can be released and broken down with supplements)
- Quercetin - 1x a day
- Antihistamine - Allegra D 1x a day with a low histamine diet.
- Vitamin B complex (therapeutic doses for nerve regeneration) - Brand: Nuphoria.com
- Oregano oil - Antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral 1x a day for 3 weeks with a one week break in between.
- Gut repai recover supplement - Brand: Mybrainco.com
- Probiotics- Low histamine probiotic by vitamonk
- Licorice root tea - Natural blood thinner that got recommended to me for possible covid microclotting
- ashwagandha - 1x a day at bedtime, helps with covid.
- Zinc 30-60mg
Honorable mentions I didn't try: Nattokinase (for spike protein denaturation)
****I STOPPED TAKING MAGNESIUM. I see people reacting to food even on low histamine diets. I had to even stop my multivitamin. Why cut magnesium off? My provider told me that mRNA strand was cut using an enzyme that is activated with magnesium, and deactivated with NAC, EDTA, high doses of vitamin C or glutathione. IF anyone knows how enzymes work, they help chemical reactions by catalyzing them to completion. I suspect this is why I still was reacting to food even on a low histamine diet.
Also could be why carnivore diet helps long haulers bc there is less magnesium in red meat, higher concentrations are in fruits and even higher in vegetables. Still some amount of magnesium will enter your body,, but lowering it as much as you can during your recovery protocol could really help in your recovery.
Throughout this whole process i started developing other covid symptoms I didn't have the past 2 years, I knew this was a good sign because they would only last 24hrs max. For example: Chest tightness, shortness of breath going up steps, fatigue. Recently I developed strange rotten smells and a metallic taste in my mouth. ALL of these were signs I was well on my way to recovery because my atypical facial pain and elevated temperature was 95% gone. Now I don't have ANY symptoms at all.
Update: get checked for silent reflux and I'm in the process of doing so, COVID can really damage so many organs and this could be a second reason why you are reacting after food consumption. Silent reflux can also cause head and facial pain. I think during long COVID my gut was greatly affected. Regardless I react less on a carnivore diet. :)))

2024.05.18 21:15 SanderSo47 Directors at the Box Office: Clint Eastwood (Part 1)
| https://preview.redd.it/m07tmkxgi81d1.jpg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a069dd209bca819edad29814e0bbd2b76eaa50db As Reddit doesn't allow posts to exceed 40,000 characters, Eastwood's edition had to be split into two parts because his whole career cannot be ignored. The second part will be posted tomorrow. Here's a new edition of "Directors at the Box Office", which seeks to explore the directors' trajectory at the box office and analyze their hits and bombs. I already talked about a few, and as I promised, it's Clint Eastwood's turn. Eastwood was a troublemaker at school, and he had a bunch of odd jobs such as lifeguard, paper carrier, grocery clerk, forest firefighter, and golf caddy. In 1951, he was drafted into the United States Army during the Korean War and was discharged two years later. Through this, he got into contact with a Hollywood representative, who got him into acting classes and started his acting career. He got his start by starring in the hit show Rawhide, but he said he was exhausted by the experience. This caught the attention of some film producers and he decided to act in films directed by the then-unknown Sergio Leone. His career was on the rise, and then he got the chance to make his directorial debut. From a box office perspective, how reliable was he to deliver a box office hit? That's the point of this post. To analyze his career. It should be noted that as he started his career in the 1970s, some of the domestic grosses here will be adjusted by inflation. The table with his highest grossing films, however, will be left in its unadjusted form, as the worldwide grosses are more difficult to adjust. Play Misty for Me (1971) "The scream you hear may be your own!" His directorial debut. It stars Eastwood, Jessica Walter and Donna Mills, and follows a radio disc jockey being stalked by an obsessed female fan. Before his colleague Irving Leonard died, he and Eastwood had discussed the idea of producing a film that was to give Eastwood the artistic control he desired, and his debut as a director. Eastwood said he was ready, "I stored away all the mistakes I made and saved up all the good things I learned, and now I know enough to control my own projects and get what I want out of actors."

High Plains Drifter (1973) "They'd never forget the day he drifted into town." His second film. The film stars Eastwood, Verna Bloom and Mariana Hill, and follows a mysterious stranger who metes out justice in a corrupt frontier mining town. Eastwood reportedly liked the offbeat quality of the film's original nine-page proposal and approached Universal with the idea of directing it, which would make it his first directed Western. The screenplay was inspired by the real-life murder of Kitty Genovese in Queens in 1964, which eyewitnesses reportedly stood by and watched. Holes in the plot were filled in with black humor and allegory, influenced by Sergio Leone. It was well received, and the film even surpassed Play Misty for Me at the box office. Eastwood was just going up. - Budget: $5,500,000.
- Domestic gross: $15,700,000. ($110.4 million adjusted)
- Worldwide gross: $15,700,000.
Breezy (1973) "Her name is Breezy." His third film. It stars William Holden and Kay Lenz, and follows the relationship between a middle-aged real estate agent and a young hitchhiker. This was his first directed film without starring on it. And his lack of presence certainly hurt the film; it received mixed reviews and flopped at the box office. - Budget: $750,000.
- Domestic gross: $200,000. ($1.4 million adjusted)
- Worldwide gross: $217,753.
The Eiger Sanction (1975) "His lifeline, held by the assassin he hunted." His fourth film. Based on the novel by Trevanian, the film stars Eastwood, George Kennedy, Vonetta McGee, and Jack Cassidy. It follows Jonathan Hemlock, an art history professor, mountain climber, and former assassin once employed by a secret government agency, who is blackmailed into returning to his deadly profession for one last mission. The film received mixed reactions for its writing, and it wasn't a box office success either. - Budget: $9,000,000.
- Domestic gross: $14,200,000. ($82.4 million adjusted)
- Worldwide gross: $14,200,000.
The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976) "An army of one." His fifth film. Based on the novel Gone to Texas by Forrest Carter, it stars Eastwood, Chief Dan George, Sondra Locke, Bill McKinney and John Vernon. The film tells the story of Josey Wales, a Missouri farmer whose family is murdered by Union militia during the Civil War. Driven to revenge, Wales joins a Confederate guerrilla band and makes a name for himself as a feared gunfighter. After the war, all the fighters in Wales' group except for him surrender to Union soldiers, but the Confederates end up being massacred. Wales becomes an outlaw and is pursued by bounty hunters and Union soldiers as he tries to make a new life for himself. Eastwood was fascinated by the novel and he bought the film rights, hoping to star on the film. He got Philip Kaufman involved as screenwriter and possible director, but left after disagreeing with Eastwood in the material adapted to the screen. Kaufman insisted on filming with a meticulous attention to detail, which caused disagreements with Eastwood, not to mention the attraction the two shared towards Locke and apparent jealousy on Kaufman's part in regard to their emerging relationship. This caused Eastwood to take over as the director. Kaufman's firing angered the DGA, as he did most of the pre-production, and sanctioning a $60,000 fine. This resulted in the Director's Guild passing a new rule, known as "the Eastwood Rule", which prohibits an actor or producer from firing the director and then personally taking on the director's role. The film received critical acclaim, and in subsequent years, is ranked among Eastwood's greatest films. It was also a huge success at the box office, doubling his previous highest grossing film. It was also one of the few Western films to receive critical and commercial success in the 1970s at a time when the Western was thought to be dying as a major genre in Hollywood. - Budget: $3,700,000.
- Domestic gross: $31,800,000. ($174.5 million adjusted)
- Worldwide gross: $31,800,000.
The Gauntlet (1977) "The man in the middle of..." His sixth film. It stars Eastwood, Sondra Locke, Pat Hingle, William Prince, Bill McKinney, and Mara Corday.

- Domestic gross: $35,400,000. ($182.4 million adjusted)
- Worldwide gross: $35,400,000.

Naturally, the British are worried that the jet will be used as a first-strike weapon, as rumors say that the jet is undetectable on radar. They send ex-Vietnam War pilot Mitchell Gant on a covert mission into the Soviet Union to steal the Firefox. The film received mixed reviews, but it earned almost $47 million, becoming Eastwood's highest grossing title as director. - Budget: $21,000,000.

The story centers on a U.S. Marine nearing retirement who gets a platoon of undisciplined Marines into shape and leads them during the American invasion of Grenada in 1983. The film was inspired by an account of American paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne Division using a pay telephone and a credit card to call in fire support during the invasion of Grenada, and fashioned a script of a Korean War veteran career Army non-commissioned officer passing on his values to a new generation of soldiers. Eastwood was interested in the script and asked his producer, Fritz Manes, to contact the US Army with a view of filming the movie at Fort Bragg. However, the Army read the script and refused to participate, due to Highway being portrayed as a hard drinker, divorced from his wife, and using unapproved motivational methods to his troops, an image the Army did not want.

- Domestic gross: $42,724,017. ($121.7 million adjusted)
- Worldwide gross: $121,700,000.
Bird (1988) "There are no second acts in American lives." His 13th film. The film stars Forest Whitaker and Diane Venora. It is constructed as a montage of scenes from saxophonist Charlie Parker's life, from his childhood in Kansas City, through his early death at the age of 34. Eastwood, a lifelong fan of jazz, had been fascinated by Parker ever since seeing him perform live in Oakland in 1946. He approached Chan Parker, Bird's common-law wife on whose memoirs the script was based, for input, and she lent Eastwood and arranger Lennie Niehaus a collection of recordings from her private collection Before Eastwood was involved, Richard Pryor was originally cast as Parker. Despitive positive reviews, it performed poorly, earning just $2.2 million in North America. - Budget: $14,000,000.
- Domestic gross: $2,181,286. ($5.7 million adjusted)
- Worldwide gross: $2,181,286.

It follows a famous movie director, John Wilson, who goes to Africa to make his next movie. He is an obstinate, contrary director who'd rather hunt elephants than take care of his crew or movie. He has become obsessed with one particular elephant and cares for nothing else. Despite positive reviews, it made just $2.3 million domestically, not even 10% of the budget. - Budget: $24,000,000.
- Domestic gross: $2,319,124. ($5.5 million adjusted)
- Worldwide gross: $2,319,124.
The Rookie (1990) His 15th film. The film stars Eastwood, Charlie Sheen, Raul Julia, Sônia Braga, Lara Flynn Boyle, and Tom Skerritt. It follows a veteran police officer teamed up with a younger detective, whose intent is to take down a German crime lord in downtown Los Angeles, following months of investigation into an exotic car theft ring. It received negative reviews for its acting and story, and it became another flop for Eastwood. That's three bombs in a row. Ouch. - Budget: $30,000,000.
- Domestic gross: $21,633,874. ($51.6 million adjusted)
- Worldwide gross: $21,633,874.

It follows William Munny, a widower with two young kids, who was once a very vicious gunfighter who gave up everything after marriage. Now, a man named Schofield Kid brings him an offer that he cannot refuse, forcing him to come out of retirement for one last job. David Webb Peoples wrote the script all the way back to 1976, and it was optioned by Francis Ford Coppola, but he lacked the funds needed to helm it. By Eastwood's own recollection, he was given the script in the "early 80s" although he did not immediately pursue it, because, according to him, "I thought I should do some other things first". Eastwood has long asserted that the film would be his last traditional Western, concerned that any future projects would simply rehash previous plotlines or imitate someone else's work. He dedicated the film to his close friends and mentors Sergio Leone and Don Siegel. Hackman initially refused to participate as his daughters were upset that he was starring in too many violent films, but he became fascinated by the script that he agreed. It opened with $15 million and it legged all the way to $100 million after playing for almost one year, closing with $159 million worldwide, his now highest grossing film. The film received Eastwood's best reviews of his career, with many considering the film as his magnum opus as director. It received 9 Oscar nominations, and won four: Best Picture and Best Director for Eastwood, Best Supporting Actor for Hackman, and Best Film Editing. So Eastwood, on top of being a reliable box office draw, was now a 2-time Oscar winner. - Budget: $14,400,000.

Hi! Here’s my story:
I’m a 25F and started experiencing weird issues about 2 months ago at the beginning of April.
These issues included: Head pressure all over my head (no pain), Intense ear pressure & ringing, Visual Snow that’s usually super light, became suddenly worse, and my jaw area slightly swollen, THEN BRAIN FOG (worst symptoms)
Now for context: I never felt something like this before.
I do grind and clench at night per my partner waking me up and telling me he can hear it.
I had braces from when I was 12-14 years old and never had problems after that alignment wise until…
I have a molar (14) top left side that’s had several root canals starting from when I was 15 and a cap that never felt right on it that I got at 19 and it’s constantly inflamed. When I’m sick, this tooth hurts and I get an ear infection usually on that side. Well the pain has become more frequent, it shoots up to my jaw and head daily. I don’t think it has roots or infected, I’m not sure X-Rays are pending for this upcoming week but i feel the pressure and pain shooting into my jaw on the daily now from this one tooth.
I went to see a new dentist, he’s holistic which I like because I do believe in healing the whole body. He decided the best course for a tooth that’s been failing for years after several root canal attempts is to extract it. The plan is to extract, bone graft, then implant.
He does think the irritated tooth and cap could be causing my bite to be ever so slightly misaligned causing the grinding. But I wake up everyday with impending doom and anxiety that this will continue even after the extraction. I know that’s excessive but the brain fog and ear ringing take up my symptoms 24/7 and do bother me.
I do see a woman for cranial sacral therapy too more recently, we have sessions bi-weekly now and I have seen tiny improvement in the head and ear pressure but it’s still too early to tell with a few sessions if it’s working.
I’m very new to this, I don’t know if extracting the tooth will fix all these problems but I am hoping it does and that’s why I am here. I’m hoping people with more experience can not only give me some hope but answer if this all makes sense and could be related/fixed.
(I have had MRIs of my neck and back, numerous of times for other unrelated issues and it’s come back clear in relations to anything skeletal related) (Also I have had my nose checked out per my sisters request to have a nose job and used me as the model at the consultation where the doctor described my passage ways as perfect and my nose straight so I don’t think it’s breathing related)
I think my years of my early 20s and ignoring this problem tooth are coming back with a vengence lol

2024.05.18 19:23 MagicBold Brief explanation of the physio-metabolic treatment method for AGA (antiandrogen+minoxidil+muscle stress+cold temperature stress).
If you're reading this, you've probably read the weird, crazy comments on
tressless posts.
The essence of my AGA treatment method is to do the following during the period of using FDA-recognized medications for androgenetic alopecia (finasteride 0.25-1.25 mg everyday, minoxidil 5% topical 2ml or(and) oral minoxidil 2.5-5 mg everyday) physiotherapeutic actions:
- Do jogging, running, jump rope, running uphill, cycling, sports (football, etc.), swimming, weightlifting (squats, deadlift), calf raise, leg press and leg extension. You need to exercise in such a way that you experience failure, heavy and rapid breathing, muscle pain, and sweating. You need to work out intensively. It is enough to use different exercises 2-3 times a week, avoiding injuries and overtraining.
- On exercise days it is necessary to use cold stress i.e. Exposure to uncomfortable temperatures may include:
A) Performing exercises (working outside, sport) in temperatures of -10 to +12 Celsius.
B) Use of a cold shower on the whole body and always on the hair (thermal effect with cold water from +5 to +15 Celsius. Possible dousing with water from a bucket or tap. The effect is short, 10-20 seconds.
C) Drying the body without a towel in a room with a temperature of +18 to +22 degrees Celsius, preferably in a draft or outside in the wind. It is advisable to see traces of piloerection (raising of hair on the skin) and goosebumps on the body, this means that everything is correct. After partial drying and feeling cold, you can dry yourself with a towel as usual, the main thing is to feel the cold from drying in order to activate natural heat regulation.
The essence of the method is to increase the metabolism (anabolism) of your body to the maximum level by reducing the androgenic effect and taking minoxidil. At the same time, exercise maximizes the effects of minoxidil, and since androgens no longer harm the follicle, a growth window appears. When performing exercises and during the period of muscle recovery, many unique anabolic effects appear in the human body: activation of stem cells, improvement of fat metabolism, gene emission, emission of unique proteins, the appearance of growth and regeneration factors. Without training large muscle groups, such effects will not occur in the body of a person who does not exercise and leads a sedative lifestyle. Main pathways of muscle stress: SSH, sympathetic nerves, Foxp1, Fgf18, Adrb2, APM hypertrophy, CXCL12, FGF21, BNDF, Hedgehog-SCUBE3-TGF-β, COL17A1, Lipid metabolic acceleration, SULT1A1, IGFBP-rP1, JNK-1( cold). Also, leg exercises from weightlifting (squats, deadlifts), which have a high androgenic potential, help combat the side effects of finasteride.
At the same time, the activation by cold of the piloerection mechanism and goose bumps as part of the thermoregulation mechanism gives a signal to the follicle and the muscle of the follicle to raise the hair, if it is not there, then the body reacts accordingly, taking into account the absence of obstacles to hair growth (DHT). Cold relief has an anabolic effect and a mobilization effect on cells and the nervous system, enhancing the effects of muscle stress. Pathways of cold exposure: SSH, sympathetic nerves, Lipid metabolism acceleration, JNK-1.
The method should work quickly and have an effect in 1-3 months. The method was developed based on personal experience, taking into account the analysis of hyperresponse
tressless, analysis of a large number of scientific papers from around the world. When analyzing hyperresponders, it turned out that they used finasteride and minoxidil, and also played sports indoors or outdoors, responders usually used their leg muscles. The best results were published when therapy took place during the colder months of the year. In fact, h-responders experienced similar levels of stress to the lives of the Amish and the homeless, who are famous for their hair cause hair its natural thermoregulation mechanism for bad weather environment (not for beauty). Amish and homeless both use leg muscle stress to survive. Previously, I thought that the main thing was muscle stress, but I did not take into account temperature stress. All this makes hyperresponding a unique and rare phenomenon. Moreover, the method has a huge anti-aging effect and helps in mewing.
The method should help most AGA patients achieve the hyperresponder effect. Try this!

2024.05.18 19:09 LokiCanadian Question about cistamax and tongkat ali
Hey all,
Hoping someone can let me know if taking 5mg of pregnenolone is necessary if already taking the cistamax which includes 2.5 mg? Taking this with tongkat Ali 10 percent.
Also if anyone is aware of there is any contraindications I should be aware of? Was hoping to take this with ashawanga and Lions Mane and the usual sups and multis.
Also on hydroxide for hypothyroidism If that matters.
Thanks.

2024.05.18 19:01 MoonzyMooMooCow Some feedback after playing the game for nearly 600 hours
Inspired by a post recently, I decided to write my own feedback on the game. Please note that these are my opinions, so you may or may not disagree with some of it and that's fine, I respect that.
Mission effects:
- 50% call-in time should NOT affect extract countdown (1 extra minute is a lot, either in a dog fight, or sitting around doing nothing)
- Bug spore map is fine, until there's a mountain that cut across in the middle of the map with no gap to cross in the middle until you run to the end (which end? u have to find out by walking around it, have fun wasting 5 minutes)
- Fire Tornado is NOT fun and doesn't add anything to the game other than wasting your time when they choose to go on objective or just kill your civilians doing almost nothing to enemies that walks in it.
Mission Type: Evacuate trapped civilians(40 minute and 15 minute variant):
- Civilians can get stuck on nothing occasionally, if both (or 3) paths are bugged, it's game over, there has to be a fallback for this
Evacuate trapped civilians(15 minute variant):
- Bugs are fine, but the bot version on this mission is near impossible to clear (without using certain tactics blablabla), more so after factory strider have been added to the spawn pool
Evacuate high value assets (20 minute 8 rocket mission):
- It can get bugged and missile refuse to continue launching, killing the entire mission (suspect it has to do with network instability, especially from network host)
Enemies:
General:
- Dead bodies should despawn sooner (or based on amount on the screen because defence mission on bots can have enemies piled so high that you can't see or shoot past it, god forbid u get stuck under one)
Bug front:
General (almost every unit):
- Should not be able to dig their way up through solid rocks (just remove the dig mechanic, I don't know why it should exist other than bugs digging through solid rock when players stand on top of it by jetpack)
Spewers:
- Nursing Spewer's dead body hitbox does not fit model (after butt have been popped, the hitbox remains, cant walk past)
- Bile Spewer's animation between them raised their butt in the air to suddenly spewing when you are close is non-existent (it's even faster than they running and raising their head to spew, they skip the head raising animation and go straight to spewing)
- Should not one shot players for something that spawns in such numbers
- (still) running too fast
- Too quiet for something that can one shot you out of nowhere (should not one shot)
- Their attack should apply DOT status similar to bleeding (either stim or dive in water to clear), remove the direct damage
Shriekers:
- Dead body deals more dmg than being alive
Stalkers:
- Does not unstealth after taking damage from Incendiary Shotgun from a distance (they should remain unstealth while taking damage, either from bullets or DoT like fire)
- Their knockback sometimes cause your character to have a long [explicit] roll animation if the ground is not even, which is basically a death sentence when fighting them
Brood commander:
- Can call breach without head
- Can track you without their head
Charger:
- Non-intuitive design where the butt is NOT a weakspot to everything (it's ok if I need 1.5 mag of my shotgun to kill it, but at least give us more option to kill that thing than just AT to the face or explosive dmg to the butt)
- Too quiet for something that can one shot you out of nowhere
Bile Titan:
- Non-intuitive design where the SHINING OPEN MOUTH during spit animation is NOT a weakspot, but the forehead is (without any indication)
Spore Spewer:
- Bouncing stratagem at the base of most layout
- Requiring certain weapons/stratagems to destroy after buffed (lowering weapon choice is not a good decision) Possible solution: allow hellbomb, or revert the changes. It's really frustrating and NOT FUN to deal with after the changes. Their main role is to obscure the map until players find it, it shouldn't be hard to remove as well (perhaps removing the red marking on the radar to make it harder to locate, instead of making it tougher)
Shrieker nest:
- Stratagem bounce on certain terrain/layout (particularly the two nest on a mountain layout), making placing hellbomb difficult
Bot front:
General (almost every unit):
- Should not be able to re-engage infinite distance away after been previously engaged before (should lose aggro ~1 minute without line of sight and revert to their regular scan distance)
- Why isn't Arc weapons doing more damage to bots? It should bypass their METAL armor and deal good damage to them
Dropship:
- Killing the dropship should have more significant impact to the enemies they are carrying/carried
Scout Strider:
- Revert whatever changes was made last buff
Rocket Devastators:
- Limit their rocket firing to x amount of salvos (to reflect their model), can add in (infinite) reload downtime to replenish their rocket (so players have opportunity to fire back)
Heavy Devastators:
- Gun firing angle does not fit model sometimes
- Can shoot through wall if they hug the wall (placing the scan further back from their body's hitbox might solve this as it wont be able to phase into the wall and see past it)
- Needs to add more inaccuracy, especially long distance away
Hulk:
- Face hitbox is weird (might be my potato aim but I can miss my shot when I shoot it near point blank)
- Flamethrower variant should not one tap (remove direct damage and just make it deal burning status, burning is already deadly enough)
Gunships:
- Having a VERY small pool of support weapons that can effectively deal with this enemy. One of the worst thing in the game because it's very limiting on what weapon you get to pick IN CASE you see one.
Tanks:
- Too quiet
- Shredder variant turns too fast to be able to reliable target the vents at the back
- Can climb things unreasonably well for something that runs on tracks
(Stationary) Cannon Turrets:
- Should not snipe you from 200m away without any warning or prior aggro, limit their scan distance}
- If they do want to snipe, make their dmg fall off with distance as to not get one shot out of nowhere from something you barely see
Factory Striders:
- Can shoot through wall if their face hugs the wall
- Their cannon turret is a bit too tanky for my liking, for something that already have two deadly MG on the chin
- Limit their spawn per dropship wave to 1 or 2 (especially in defence mission)
Detector Tower:
SAM Site:
- Very hard to locate
- Does the job that it's supposed to do very poorly
Stratagem Jammer:
- Should have limited enemies on them because you can't use stratagems, sometimes it's easy, but sometimes there's so many devastators on there plus dropship it becomes hell
- Can be deadly when spawned close to Gunship fab, perhaps limit the distance between these 2 sub-objectives
Command Bunkers:
- One taps you out of nowhere sometimes (no one likes getting one tapped from full health)
Extract:
- It's not red on the map in mission briefing, but you can drop into an extract with Factory Striders etc
Stratagems:
SOS Beacon:
- What does this do, exactly? Other than being a free one-time use hellpod dmg for host if they manage to attach it onto enemy
Airburst Rocket Launcher:
- Sometimes just fly past enemy's head, what's the proxy radius exactly? Should increase radius but only detonate after x amount of clearance from user (can be time or distance based)
Autocannon:
- GOATed (esp against bots), nothing wrong with it but it's so fun to use against bots that I just want to put it here.
Spear:
- Lock-on issues (it's like wanting to sneeze but you can't)
- For something that require lock on and only have 4 shots, it better one shot regardless of hitzone (or make it lock-on to weakspots instead)
- Useless in snowstorm even though I can see the enemy clearly
- Why would it lock on but miss if the target is too close, what's the point of lock-on if the projectile isn't actually locking onto the target
Orbital Railcannon Strike:
- Needs to lower the CD for something that only targets a single entity
- OR make it one shot every unit in the game (factory strider can be one shot by 380mm, so I don't see why railcannon can't)
"Guard Dog" Rover:
- Sometimes does not target enemies in-front of you, attacking you, or the enemies you're shooting, not sure why
"Guard Dog":
- The constant downtime is so bad compared to its counterpart, PLUS it runs out of ammo
Sentries:
- Non-existent health, too soft for something the developer wont let players place at hard to reach places
Mines:
- Doesn't feel as impactful as other stratagems, other than teamkilling
Shield Generator Relay:
- Should prevent enemy unit from entering
- Should have infinite health until time is up
- Should just be DRG's gunner shield
- Have problems with plasma punisher (the projectile cannot pass through the shield)
Smokes of all kind:
- Needs to work better, enemies should stop firing into/across the smoke or something. I brought smoke to survey mission and smoked the objective, between me and enemies (before the bots drop), I was the one who got smoked instead
Booster:
- Needs to give precise numbers on what EXACTLY each one does (maybe on wiki or something, to prevent people from coming up with nonsense like localisation confusion will create more patrols etc)
- UAV Recon Booster should do something to bug spore map (either reveal the map but not enemies on the map, or enemies nearby but not the map)
- Flexible Reinforcement Budget needs to have more impact to the cooldown time, as it stands it's the worst booster
- Expert Extraction Pilot needs to have more impact to the countdown time, 18s/27s is not good enough for something that does nothing throughout the entire game until the end
- Only a couple booster tends to be taken to missions because the power level of boosters is very different
Misc:
Gameplay:
- Stratagem should NOT bounce, let players decide where we wanna call our stuff, make it stick to walls, top of rocks (if players manage to land the stratagem there, why not), and enemies (sometimes you can stick stuff to chargers, sometimes you can't, I never understood why)
- Equipment/Stratagem loadout would be great to have
- Allow players to finish the mission in solo mode if kicked or lost connection, this would greatly reduce the impact of griefing and/or steam's weekly maintainance. You can prevent abuse by giving each mission an ID that can't duplicate reward if same player complete it twice. (just like Super credits that wont be given twice if you pick up the same one from the same mission)
- Enemies should have more ways to be killed and objectives should have more ways to be solved, so people actually can try out more loadouts than feel pressured to play the "meta".
- Patrol spawn rate should increase when we call extraction, not right after we finish main obj. Finishing sub obj is way harder if we finish main obj first (in blitz especially, where you can't choose when the main objective ends if you want to clear everything)
- Supply packs should have an icon on the map
- Icon for dropped items should appear in a larger radius
- Samples, Requisition Slips, and Medals should have uses other than being allowed to be capped (one interesting idea is the ability to purchase extra stratagem slot for operations/missions)
- Tier 4 Ship upgrade felt underwhelming, like it's AH trying to give players something to do while not wanting to reward the players. (the cost-to-impact is horrible to say the least)
- Armors should have more passives and stat variety, instead of the exact same stats and passive but different color
- Armor passive could be swappable (for fashion divers).
- Allow Stimming at any time (for stamina boost even if health is full to run for longer)
- The animation of rolling slowly after falling/diving/knocked back onto un-even ground is long, unnecessary, and annoying
- Allow viewing of Support weapon's stats like primary and secondary
- Allow players to customise weapons (especially the scope)
Lobby:
- Nickname given to Steam friends should not appear in-game, this can cause confusion between players as I see different name and player tag (ie: H2 vs D2) in mission from other players. But indication of the steam nickname should still be given, maybe upon entry. (ie: "dremskiy (HD2 dreamskiy) has joined the lobby")
- Allow sending friend request from party list (I don't know why this isn't a thing)
- Allow viewing of Steam player's Steam profile (and playstation profile for PSN players? I have no idea of the PSN ecosystem)
- Allow host to disband and create a new lobby (to mitigate the current multiplayer bug that might happens if someone leaves, or just so you can change party members without kicking)
- Allow host to set minimal join level for their lobbies (I know, this is controversial, but I'm tired of Lv20s joining Helldive missions. A good portion of them don't know what to do and run around like headless chicken and using up reinforcements. I'm here to enjoy the game, not carry and get frustrated when I get teamkilled or have them bring a big group of enemies into objectives. Everyone has their preference and "standards" when playing. I also know level isn't an indication of actual skill, but the proportion of frustration I've had with low levels vs higher level players is very different. I once had a lv10 matchmake into Helldive difficulty. How is that even possible? Don't they need to clear lower difficulties first? Yeah, they did nothing but die the entire mission)

2024.05.18 18:59 Ravacholite Galaxy at War (Star Wars)
Hello hello! I'm Alex and this time I'm looking to do a story set in the Star Wars galaxy. Before I dive into any discussion of potential plots I'd like first to go over some important stuff; firstly, I'm only looking to do rps with people 18 or older, for a variety of reasons. Also, I only want to do anything with people who are confident in being relatively literate. I've done RPs where replies are over 1000 words, but I'm totally fine if the average replies are less than that. I'm just specifying to explain my interests. For rapid fire stuff: I'm queer, my pronouns are he/they, I'm ND, and I'm a student.
Now, for the plot. To start: I'm VERY familiar with Star Wars legends and canon. I don't have too much of a plot, but I do know I want to strictly avoid playing established characters. Other than that, it's very broad. I do require playing multiple characters, because either me doing everything or just having two characters is extremely boring.
For some potential scenarios:
As far as setting preferences go, I prefer the Imperial Era, but I am fine with doing something based in the Old/High Republic, or Clone Wars. If you have any characters or ideas about any setting, feel free to shoot something over.
Note: lead with information, absolutely do not just say "hey" or "hello!" or say you want to see where it goes or some shit. I will not respond to anyone who does not lead with something of substance. If you have a question do not ask to ask for a question. Do not comment to ask if you can message me. If you do message me then include the phrase "Nerf herder."
Assuming it's the Imperial Era:
I adore Saw Gerrera and his insurrection. The idea of playing freedom fighters against the Empire is massively appealing, especially with how broad it could get: imperial turncoats, former prisoners, Jedi, Mandalorians. Anything, really. They'd fight back against the Empire, always on the run and striking at different locations.
There's also the very important potential of playing as the Empire itself. I think playing members of the Inquisition could be really fun, or as Imperial explorers in the Navy. Or as Stormtroopers on an important mission.
And Mandalorians, of course, are fun and important. Playing as a surviving Mandalorian clan, maybe trying to make a New Mandalore by conquering a planet, or just going fully nomadic.
Or maybe the Mandalorians and Jedis instead take on the life of the frontier. Instead of fighting the Empire tooth and nail they move to some unimportant planet and settle down, perhaps making a farm.
Playing as criminals could be really neat too. Trying to work around the Empire and the rebels to carve out their own fortune.
It could also be near the Empire's total collapse, with everyone scrambling to ensure their side gets the optimal victory.

Here is the recap of the 8 monetized posts from Kylea and Joseph "Joe" Gomez of Kylea G Weight loss Journey on 05/17/24.
"Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away." Elvis Presley
⚠️ Compuslive Buying Disorder (CBD), aka shopping addiction, Disordered Eating, Domestic Violence, Gaslighting, and Religion will be discussed.
Disclaimers: I am not a physician, influencer, or paid content creator. I am not affiliated with WW. I am semi-retired from the healthcare field with multiple college degrees. These opinions are my own based on social media content. I wish no harm to Kylea or Joe Gomez.
☎️ If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, please call or text 988 for assistance.
☎️ National Domestic Violence Helpline: Confidential Help is available 24/7 at 1-800-799-7233. Or text START to 88788.
The tagline of Kylea G Weight loss Journey is, "I changed my entire life with prayer and a playlist of songs. No surgery, no meds. Just Jesus."
DAILY STATS 05/17/24:
0/8 posts discussed prayer
0/8 posts discussed music
1/8 posts mentioned walking outside
0/8 posts shared a recipe
2/8 posts were about something Kylea ate or drank
1/8 posts was about driving home
2/8 posts were about a current pet
1/8 posts "Joe" discussed Kylea being a dog mom
1/8 posts "Joe" made about Kylea sending him McDonalds
📢 For our friends at Meta, that means that approx. 50% of the monetized posts had nothing to do with weight loss, which is the tagline and purpose of her page.
⚠️ Disordered Eating- Daily WW Points Used (Data compiled from monetized content):
2 WW Points: Plate of scrambled eggs + plate of fresh fruit + Peanut Butter Chocolate Muscle Milk in coffee.
8 WW Points: Double Shot Espresso over ice with almond milk, sugar-free vanilla, 1/2 of Peanut Butter Chocolate Muscle Milk shake, with cinnamon on top. Turkey, bacon, cheddar & egg white sandwich.
📢 For our friends at Meta, that means Kylea consumed 10 out of (up to) 30 daily WW points in maintenance mode= Disordered Eating. This is dangerous and potentially deadly messaging for those on a weight loss journey.
Recipes Shared: ZERO
🚨 Please speak with a medical professional about any questions or concerns you have about your health.
Comments: In my opinion, Kylea falsified the timeline of her arrival home. She frequently lies and has a history of mental breakdowns during travel. Let's see if you agree...
- Unknown Breakfast Location: Kylea does not even vaguely mention her sister's presence and shows a closely cropped picture of food and a beverage.
- "Joe" posted this, "My wife has been waiting to be a dog mom for a long time. I'm so excited for to be welcoming one into our home soon. 🐶 🏠"
*I kept the wording of the quote exactly as it appeared. "Joe" shared an old photo of Kylea holding RayRay's face (her mommma's Frenchie) and kissing him above his left eye.
⏸️ Remember, Kylea was traumatized from a dog biting her face as a child and told her followers she wanted a puppy from a breeder because of this event. This was an odd picture to share.
- Unknown Starbucks Location for Lunch: A tightly cropped image of an empty Starbucks paper bag, Iced Beverage, and Muscle Milk is shared. There is no mention of her sister, leading Reddit users to believe Kylea was in an airport, possibly alone. How is she consuming all these dairy products without issues this trip?
- God is Good: Kylea's sunburn disappeared from yesterday in this tightly cropped photo of her near a flowering plant. Her location is not disclosed. "I've just been walking around and appreciating all of the beauty of the world around me today. God is so good!!"
⏸️ This suspicious photo led Reddit users to believe Kylea was either already home, almost home, and/or there was a serious disagreement with her sister (they have a history of this happening). Why buy a Go City Pass and barely use it? Why go to CA to whale watch and not complete the task? Why so secretive this trip? Was she alone the majority of the time? The entire vibe has been off.
- "I think Oliver is missing his Mom 🐈⬛️ 🐾" An old 📸 of Kylea sitting on the floor, squeezing Oliver to her chest (he looks like he's trying to get away), is shared. This is the 1st mention of Oliver this trip. She normally posts more often about missing him while traveling...
- "Joe sent me a picture of the fur babies and they both look like they're ready for me to be home 💖" An (allegedly) old 📸 of Oliver and Alice on the back of the couch is shared.
Concern has been growing for weeks about the welfare of Alice. 🐈⬛️ I hope she is okay.
- Driving 6 Hours Home: "The last few days of adventure in California was fun but I'm so ready to get home to my hubs!! I had a long day of travel today. ✈️ Now for the 6 hour drive back home! 🚗 Ready to cuddle my cats 🐈⬛️ and introduce you to our new family member later this weekend! 🐶 🐾"
⏸️ Notice, Kylea never says "we" today. This fuels the speculation of a separate return trip home from her sister. I would hardly call scrambled eggs, fruit, salsa chicken salad, and coffee an adventure. Her photos (if they were even hers) showed empty tourist destinations. I learned nothing of note from her "California adventure." What an odd trip.
- "Joe" posted McDonalds: "I worked late last night and my wife still made sure that I got one of my favorite dinners. I love McDonald's cheeseburgers! 🍔 🍟"
I have shared resources this week on domestic violence. Not only is McDonalds triggering content for those on a weight loss journey, why is Joe Gomez unable to buy his own food? These photos (Joe holding the takeout bag) remind me of a young child posing with objects for praise.
📢 To our friends at Meta, "Joe" posting (under Kylea's account with her name) 25% of her content today is ridiculous. The page name is not "Kylea and Joe's Journey." This is not a lifestyle page. Kylea blatantly violates many monetization policies with her content. Please follow your policies and take action.
Final Questions: Do you believe Kylea traveled alone or with her sister? Do you think they were together the entire time? When do you think she arrived home? What did you learn about San Diego? How did she do as a travel blogger? 🤔
Takeout: Unknown breakfast restaurant for KG= $18 est + tip; *Possible breakfast for sister= $18 est + tip; Starbucks for KG (unknown location)= $15 est + tip, *Possible lunch for sister= $15 est + tip, Muscle Milk for KG= $3.50 est;
Shopping/Travel Expenses: Airport Parking (up to 50% off with prebook)= $16 est; Return Flight for KG on Unknown Carrier at unknown time (I do not believe she ever had a $45 round trip flight)= $82 + fees; *Possible Flight for Sister (same issue as above)= $82 est + fees; Mileage Dallas, TX to Joplin, MO= (350 est mi/33mpg) x $3.85 est= $40.83 est;
All info from Reddit. ✌️

2024.05.18 18:54 Asmscorpion Alamo rental car disaster
I rented a premium luxury SUV for a week long vacation to the NC Outer Banks last week. Selected a Yukon/Suburban or equivalent. I purchased the extra insurance, and roadside assistance. I was given a Jeep Wagoneer, which seemed less luxury than a Yukon/Suburban, but did the job of hauling 8 people with luggage fine. We rented a vacation home in Carova, which is accessible only by driving down the 7 mile 4x4 only beach road along the ocean. Had 2 other vehicles (not rentals) with us, one of which was not 4x4 and promptly got stuck on the beach road. After pushing and digging him out several times, in the dark at this point, we arrived at our rental home. At this point I noticed the key fob was not in my pocket, and not present in the vehicle. It was 11pm by then, and I wasn't braving the sand again during high tide, at midnight to search for the key. The next morning we went out at dawn to search the beach road for the fob. Although I found several of the locations we were stuck in, I didn't find the key. This is day 3 of my 8 day rental, and a Sunday morning. I called Alamo Customer service to report a lost key, and arrange a pickup of a new key, or a tow and a new vehicle. I was told they can not issue a new key from a local Alamo location, can not authorize me to pick one up from the local Jeep dealer, and the vehicle would have to be towed. No big deal, I paid for the upgrade insurance, and roadside assistance, so a $250 lost key fee was all I needed to pay extra and they would bring me a vehicle and tow away the one without a key. Sweet, in about 2 hours or less i'll be good to go again........... not what happened. I received a call from the roadside assistance about 30 min later, and a man that barely spoke English informed me that because I was 'offroad' they couldn't recover the vehicle, and I would have to wait for the 'special recovery team and the risk department' to recover the vehicle. He said they contacted all the local tow companies and no one can tow from my location, and special recovery can take 72 hours to 7 days to recover the vehicle. I asked again about a key, either from Alamo or a local dealer. I was told to contact the local Alamo dealer I used to get the vehicle, that the national customer service desk didn't have that authority. So I called the rental counter at the Detroit Airport where I rented the vehicle to see if they could overnight a key, or authorize a new key to be made at a local dealer. Waited on hold for an eternity, to transferred to a message claiming the office was closed until Monday at 8am. The airport desk is 24/7, yet I couldn't get an answer. Called back to the 800 number and told them what was going on again, no notes on my account for them to read they said, and was informed I would have to wait until Monday morning. In the meantime, I located 2 tow companies in a 30 mile distance that would recover the SUV, and tow it to an accessible location for Alamo to pick it up.
On Monday I spoke to DTW Alamo service desk, and explained ehat was going on. I asked again for a key, that towing was not necessary. Nothing was wrong with the car, just need a key fob. I was informed again that that is not an option, and since it can't be towed, special recovery must be made, and I have to wait 72 hrs to 7 days for pickup. I gave him the 2 tow companies willing to come tow it. He said they only use their vendors, no other companies can be used. I offered to pay to have it towed to the main road, and was told that I couldn't do that, and if i did and any damages occured during the tow i would not be covered by my insurance purchased. After 5 phone calls on Monday to every number I could find for Alamo service, I was unsuccessful in an alternate solution to special recovery. During my day of missing vacation to deal with this issue I had seen a concrete mixer truck, 4 roll off dumpster trucks, 3 - 1 ton pickup trucks with large enclosed trailers, and several lumber and building material delivery trucks drive right past my rental home. So much for 'not accessible' this is a neighborhood with sand roads. 10+ homes are under construction in this neighborhood, and heavy truck traffic is a regular occurrence there. Anyway, 3 days pass, and I receive no calls from special recovery, Alamo customer service or the risk department. I called 2 times a day, and was met with the same resistance, once risk department is involved, customer service can not give any information, or transfer me to anyone in risk department. They are treating this as a repo of a stolen rental car. I can't get another rental from them until this one is recovered. I had to leave the rental home on Friday morning, and leave the car in the driveway. I was told by the home rental company they would allow the car to sit there until Monday, and then they would have to report it to the local sherif as abandoned. Alamo has refused to give me any information, they have not picked up the vehicle and told me I was responsible for paying rental on the vehicle until it is recovered despite all the extra insurance I paid for. Add to that the possible impound and towing fees associated if it isn't picked up by Monday morning, the risk of damage by the renters of the home that check in today, and the cost of another rental and this car is going to cost more than the entire Vacation. If anyone has a number to Alamo Risk department or Special recovery please pass it on.
Do not rent from Alamo, I know I never will again.

2024.05.18 18:49 JL5887 Review my diet
I recently posted here and learned a ton. Really appreciate this community and hope I can help others in the future as I learn from my own experiences.
I'm late 30s male and my last lipid panel 8 months ago was LDL 152, HDL 39, Trig 60. While others in my family have HP and high cholesterol I believe it's mainly attributed to poor diet. My grandparents have all lived to be almost 90 so hopefully I have good genetics on my side. My doctor's recommendation 8mo ago was to clean up my diet and do more cardio, then see where we're at. At the time, I was weightlifting and eating 5+ eggs along with almost daily beef and very high dairy intake, with little to no fiber. I didn't take the doctors recommendation seriously at the time due to other things going on in my life. Before I get tested again, I've been cleaning up my diet and getting at least 30 minutes of cardio a day. The reason for this post is that I want to make sure I'm eating in a way that will help drop my cholesterol. If diet doesn't help, I understand that statin is probably my only option but obviously want to start here first.
HOW DOES MY DAILY DIET LOOK? - 1cup plain Oatmeal + dates + chia and flax seeds + honey 800 cal 24g protein 0g sat fat
- Advocado 240 cal 3g protein 3 g sat fat
- Salman or chicken 400 cal 3g protein 6g sat fat
- 1/2 cup black beans 110 cal 7g protein 0g sat fat
- 1tbsp olive oil 120 cal 0g protein 2g sat fat
- 1/2 cup white rice (or farro or potatoes) 300 cal 6g protein 0g sat fat (this mainly for calories)
- 1/4 cup walnuts 200 cal 5g protein 2g sat fat
GRAND TOTAL: 2,160 calories 99g protein 13g sat fat
I don't have weight to lose and need to maintain high calories, hence the rice. I will be filling the rest of my calories with plenty of fruit and vegetables, depending on how much cardio I do.

2024.05.18 18:41 Merle-Hay Skipping doses
I have just started LDN recently- just finished 14 days at .5 and 2 days of 1. I am suffering right now from intense back spasms that steroids and muscle relaxers are not helping the pain. I want to take Norco for the pain - can I skip a few days of LDN and then go back to 1 mg? I can't take NSAIDs due to one kidney.

2024.05.18 18:37 iamhappy_7s Upgrade from Steam Deck
I've gotten into gaming in the last few years with a Steam Deck, and it's reaching a point now where that isn't going to be able to run some games I want to play. But I don't know jack about how these PC parts work or how much I need of what. So I'm looking to put together an PC to be its replacement/upgrade that can:
- Can run current gen AAA games (for example, Cyberpunk 2077 or Forbidden West) with a big step up in graphics from what a Steam Deck is capable of.
- Will be able to run AAA single player games for the next 5+ years, knowing that at the end of that range will be reduced graphics settings, which I'm fine with. I know no one has a crystal ball, but I'd still appreciate input from you who know much more about this than I do.
Brand new.
- Please list any existing parts or monitor(s) you have that you would like to re-use with this build.
I'm going to be getting a monitor, that I'll also use for work. Haven't fully decided on a model yet, but will likely be a LG 27GP850-B or similar. 1440p will more than fine, I don't need 4k. As I'll be using this for work also, don't want to get an OLED with potential burn-in issues (and cost).
- What will this PC be used for?
Almost exclusively for gaming.
- What country will you be purchasing in? If you are in the US, do you live near a Micro Center?
USA, there is a microcenter a 1-2hr drive from me.
- Do you need one or more monitors included in the budget?
Not including monitor in the budget from a money standpoint. But if you do have recommendations other than what I put in question 2, I'd love to hear them.
- What is your preferred and maximum budget range for this build, in local currency?
$1000 USD? I don't really know how much I'd need to spend to meet the targets I listed at the beginning.
I'm willing to spend more if it's a good ROI, up to say $1500-1800, I just want to avoid spending an extra $800 on a PC now if in five years the difference between the two for new games will be small.
- Do you need WiFi, or do you have a wired ethernet connection available?
Would strongly prefer WiFi, but can do ethernet also if it was a large savings.
- Do you have any specific size or noise requirements for the build?
No.
- Do you have any aesthetic preferences for color or lighting?
No, so long as it works it could look like an outhouse for all I care.
- Any other specific requests or requirements? Examples might include a specific minimum amount of storage, or a particular CPU socket for a future upgrade path, etc.
One request is that I'd like to be able to upgrade components down the line. I don't know if that's doable by default, or if that takes special considerations.
Another question that might not fit this sub, but I've read that the Nvidia 50-series will be coming this year. Would it make sense to wait to buy until those launch, and prices on 30- and 40-series go down?
