2024.05.21 22:03 ImaginaryEar4918 Playing in a healthy way?
Hey all
Seriously considering a PS5 and am coming from a PS3, so its a big upgrade but before i do i want to change my gaming habits before i get the console as i recognize i have bad habits:
Overspending on bad games for easy Platinum Trophies
Overspending on DLC for fear if missing out since in my mind it could be delisted any day without notice
Missing great games because I can’t accept i would never get the Platinum, games like Uncharted or Last of Us which i want to play ay my own pace I just have a hard time accepting i will never get the Platinum for those even though i know i would still have a lot of fun with those games
Feeling less than other gamers online because they accomplished more in a game, got a hard platinum or have the latest game/rare game, or that they are content creators or stream on Twitch
Playing while emotional as a way to cope & escape symptoms of depression
So i want to know how do you play in a healthy way without it negatively affecting your mental health or turning into an addiction?
Thanks!

2024.05.21 22:03 Econ347 Weapons and Classes... yes or no?
A short time ago there was a post made by someone, who put together a small list of new weapons that could be put into the game and on this post I made a comment, that kinda went unnoticed, so I thought I would share my ideas here again :)
This is in no way a request to add these things to the game and Im merely hypothesizing, so take it with a grain of salt:
General idea: Have weapon categories and divide them into sub categories:
- Axe
-2 sided axe
-1 sided axe
-scythe
...
2.Sword
-Katana (big or small)
-dual wield sword -2 hand greatsword
-normal sword
-whipsword
-transforming greatsword from MHW
-Gunblade
...
3.Hammer
-maces (multiple dmg types)
-hammer
-hammer with spikes (part dmg)
...
4.Ranged
-Repeaters
-Greatbow (could be a support weapon with the new weaponswap system as pure ranged weapons might be too op)
-Harpoon launcher (same as greatbow)
...
5.aether weapons -fists
-orb weapon from brawlhalla xD
-boot weapons that make you hover ? (See phantasy star online 2 jetboots)
-aether replicator (can replicate other weapons and use their buffs and abilities but is weaker than their real counterpart)
-aether infusion beam (infuses enemy with volatile aether and temporarily empowers friendly targets with -insert balanced buff-)
...
6.warpike
-normal spear
-throwable spear with chain(harpoon like but still melee focused)
-swordspear (like serpenthunter from eldenring)
...
7.chain type
-normal CB
-medium sized scythe CB style
-kratos blades from god of war
-flail like weapon (with retractable/extending chain)
-whip
...
Maybe extend the whole thing with playerclasses (these buffs should be unlocked from a skilltree or sth):
-Aether born:
1.each aether weapon gives an additional special ability
2.every non aether weapon has increased weapon charge rate (like sword meter)
3.killing behemoths infuses all nearby slayers with aether and gives them a buff to max hp, a temporary increase and refresh to all buff durations and fills the weapon charge rate to 100%
-Weapon specialist:
1.Can use only one weaponslot:
Weapons have faster attackspeed and xp gain along with an additional ability, that allows to switch stances [Medium-Slow-Fast] Each stance has a diffrent attackchain, which is interchangeble with the others by switching mid combo (except for aether weapons)
OR
2.Can use a 3rd weapon slot: Switching weapons grants buffs depending on the weapontype equipped ...
-Aether elementalist:
1.master the 4 base status elements (frost,fire,terra,lightning) and add one additional status effect to each weapon, that is not opposite to the weapons base element (radiant and shadow weapons excluded)
2.status effects have additional effects and are easier to inflict on behemoths: Either damaging (DOT) OR passive debuffs
3.behemoths that are resistant to an element do not get an additional effect inflicted upon them and buildup for that element is harder to achieve
-Aether flow manipulator:
1.Can manipulate the flow of aether in the bodies of behemoths, making them less aggressive: -behemoths cant rage- OR -behemoths cant get aether infused-
Behemoth parts always count as being dropped from aethercharged AND enraged.
2.Non physical attacks from behemoths deal less damage and occur rarer than normal (except explosion from ragetail gnasher for example)
And so on...
This could be expanded upon further and further. Of course it needs to be balanced and these here are merely examples I brainstormed in a minute or two.
What do you think?
what would you add into the game to freshen it up?

2024.05.21 22:03 frogsbones starting out and clueless
i need to preface this by saying i don’t play video games in the first place - my experience is limited to sandbox or life sims, never anything with serious combat. so being thrown into a souls game, feels like being a fish out of water.
i have a vague understanding of general soulsborne mechanics after watching a playthrough of elden ring, and seeing similarities in dark souls; souls, bonfires, levelling stats, etc. but now that i’m actually playing, i feel so aggravatingly challenged. for reference, i’m completely trapped in the undead parish after bombing one attempt at the taurus demon, and that admittedly feels pathetic. when i go online to look for help (because as much as i do want to experience it organically, getting stuck in one spot isn’t much use) every post or forum just acts like you should know what’s going on already.
can anyone give me tips they wish they knew starting dark souls? or things that are helpful for a brand new player?

2024.05.21 22:01 Magic_SnakE_ Why is it impossible to have a smooth mp launch?
It's not just this game. Look at every COD ever and the tons of issues they have when launching a new game.
I don't even need to mention Battlefield.
I really don't understand why it's so hard to get this right across so many different companies.
I guess the only logical conclusion is that developing an online mp is nearly impossible to do.

2024.05.21 22:00 MadMedic21 Another Comprehensive Guide From a Caregiver and ACLr Recipient
Hi all! First off, so glad this sub reddit exists because it was a life saver when I was making decisions on my own ACLr and knowing what to expect from surgery. I'm a 2x cancer surviver, Paramedic, Rugby player, and now have been a caregiver to my partner who just celebrated 3 months from her own ACLr. I collected a bunch of advice and tips and tricks that I have used both during cancer treatment, my own experience with ACLr, and now through care taking my partner through hers. I know there have been guides before, but mine is a bit different and aimed at caregivers so I thought I'd post it here since ya'll helped me so much instead of it just circulating the rugby community every time a teammate or friend has to have ACLr or some other reconstruction. Hope it's allowed and helps!
A Cancer Patients Guide To Knee Reconstruction Recovery
A Comprehensive Guide To Surviving and Thriving In the Pre and Post-op Period Built From The Perspective of Caretaker and Patient.
Before The Date
__/__/____
Preparation
It is important to adequately prepare for surgery in the weeks and days leading up to the procedure. A significant period of immobility and reliance on support can be expected immediately post-op and will vary by procedure and personal experience. Physical modification of living space and thorough preparation allows for the immediate post-op period to be free of emergency store runs and the small inconveniences that can add up to big frustration. Not having food and drink nearby as well as other essentials may be a small deal now, but can turn into a big deal when you can no longer get those things for yourself. While physical preparation (home modifications, adaptive tools, meal prepping, etc.) are important, mental preparation is crucial to the long term success of the repair. Making small, achievable goals in the immediate post-op period and maintaining a long sighted view of recovery will make the pain and immobility that is initially experienced more bearable. Additionally, social support through a partner, family members, or friends is an essential part of recovery, as is maintaining contact with sports teams or other social groups during rehabilitation.
General PEARLs
- Pre-surgical rehab is an essential part of recovery and can improve immediate outcome so if it is a resource available to you- use it!
- Learn the basics of your procedure such as reconstruction technique, graft type, surgeons recovery timeline, where you will do your rehab, and what you should expect going into and coming out of surgery. Knowledge is power and can give a sense of control and set reasonable expectations in a situation that is otherwise out of your control.
- Seek out positive experiences and recovery stories from other people who have had your procedure and gather as much advice as possible from resources such as ACL. Know that some people will have negative experiences, everyone is an individual, and that much of your long term recovery is in your control.
- Expect and learn to advocate for yourself or the person you are taking care of. Be vocal and honest with any needs you may have and understand that issues may come up in the immediate post-operative time that you as a patient or caregiver may have to contact your surgeon to resolve. Familiarize yourself with who to call and when *before* you leave after surgery, as well as being quick to call with any questions or problems that arise. It is better to be told that what you are experiencing is normal than to sit with the anxiety of the unknown.
- Create a folder with all relevant information: Surgeons name, procedure information, follow-up appointment dates and times, phone numbers, emergency contacts, facility of choice in an emergency situation, and any other important information. Maintain this folder throughout your recovery and add paperwork as it comes.
Days Leading Up To Surgery
- Contact support people and confirm any arrangements that have been made including but not limited to: Who is taking you to/from surgery, child or pet care, transportation to first PT appointments, meals, etc.
- Recommended Items we found essential:
- Ice Machine (Polarcube, etc) if at all possible
- Recommend checking facebook marketplace or other second hand options, as they cost hundreds new but can be found for $40 or so used.
- Studies have shown these do actually reduce pain and lend to earlier mobilisation and our experience has shown this to be essential not just immediately post-op but in the weeks and months afterwards so if you *can* obtain one you absolutely should.
- Large sweatshirt and oversized shorts for surgery day, especially if you wear a bra, as putting clothes on after surgery can be a struggle and it’s easiest to just throw on a sweatshirt and shorts that fit over your post-op bandages and brace.
- In particular, we found a blanket hoodie to be very useful both for going home and the first few days as it could stay on when moving around/when napping.
- Neck Pillow
- Helps with reading or other activities during long hours spent in bed or on the couch and really helped in the first two days to prevent neck strain and provide head positioning during napping.
- Large pillows for body positioning and elevation of the leg
- We found cheap, giant, dog beds from places like TJ Max or Marshalls to be more affordable than specialty products
- A large, thin, dog bed (or blanket) rolled into a tube and secured with stretch bandage or tape around the surgical leg and brace helped significantly with comfort during sleep so that the leg was padded, comfortable, and the other leg didn’t get roughed up from the brace.
- A shower chair
- Can be found used at second hand stores like Goodwill, or cheap online
- Easy substitute is a chair covered in a trash bag
- Allowed showering the second day post-op which was a huge mental boost and relieved physical discomfort and achy muscles
- Extra large leg cast cover
- Can be found cheap online
- Placed around outside of brace covering the entire leg initially, we then found it easier to place on the leg and place the brace outside of the cover for the remaining healing period for the incisions: We did this after the first PT appointment when it was safe to take off the brace for short periods while laying down. We acquired a second post op brace from a friend (you can find on eBay for cheap) and it was amazing to have, as we could let it dry after showering and immediately put her post op brace back on.
- Foldable stool
- Great for elevating the leg during transfers, while on the toilet, etc.
- Lap Desk
- Great for eating on the couch or in bed, but we also found it useful as a side table for holding drinks/meds/remotes/books that could be taken to whatever room they landed in at the time
- A small table works as well, really just anything that can be used to set things on within arms reach
- Assortment of sodas, water, seltzers, snacks, etc.
- There is no way to know what you will want and when, but when you want it it’s nice to *have* it available
- Appetite often decreases after surgery so make sure to have favourites on hand so that when you *are* hungry you have it immediately before your body changes its mind
- A big bucket
- We used a soft plastic beach type bucket from the dollar store, it was extremely useful to have to put small items in, a small towel, a spare water bottle, extra meds, baby wipes, etc.
- Also doubled as an emergency puke bucket, as you never know when a sudden bout of nausea might hit in the first day or two after surgery
- Extra reusable ice packs and bags of ice
- Your home ice maker will not be able to keep up with the demands of constant icing the first week or so
- Reusable ones are great for ‘hot spots’ and short trips where you can’t take the ice machine
- Extra steri-strips and assortment of bandages
- Sometimes there’s extra leakage, sometimes your steri-strips come off and you need to slap a new one on, sometimes you’re allergic to the ones they put on you at the hospital. Always consult a medical professional, but it’s handy to have these on hand just in case.
- We also used a bulky padded bandaid to keep the brace off the healing incisions once the large post-op dressing was taken off which helped immensely.
- Compression sleeves
- Aside from helping with swelling these also provided a layer of protection under the post-op brace
- We found cheap ones at Wal-Mart (copper brand) but also just bought a cheap pair of leggings a size down and cut off one of the legs to use before getting a more expensive one once swelling had fully subsided after a few weeks. Your leg will change so cheap works great at first, then you can get something a bit more substantial when you know what you’ll need long term. Now she wears high compression socks to sleep 3 months out.
- Slide on shoes
- Self explanatory, bending down to put on shoes becomes a chore after surgery. Avoid flip flops or other styles that can become a trip hazard.
- Baby Wipes/Dude Wipes/etc.
- Wiping down after you get home from surgery can help prevent that icky feeling and restore some sense of normalcy, then can be used over the next few days before you can shower more normally
- Lotion and chapstick
- Hospitals dry out your skin big time, and lips are often cracked post surgery from intubation/LMA placement
- Small, easily labelled tupperware containers
- Regular pill containers are too small to hold pain meds, OTC pain meds, anticoagulants such as aspirin, supplements, and edibles or other small things you take with your medication. We got small tupperware boxes with lids from the dollar store.
- We found it very convenient to have six sets of meds set up and labelled with times which meant we never missed doses and could leave the next dose of meds at bedside, take them with us when going to appointments, and keep up with what had been given and when.
- Small notebook to record med times and other important information
- Two extra changes of clothes already setup and ready to go
- Compression device
- We are athletes so we already had leg compression sleeves but these days off brand versions can be bought online cheap. Studies have shown these lead to reduced pain, increased mobilisation, reduced the chance of blood clots, and there is even some evidence they help with bone healing.
- We used it 3 days post op and beyond and her range of motion was significantly improved after the first time.
- A yoga strap
- Excellent for strapping to the brace and moving the surgical leg
- If possible, pick up post-op medications prior to surgery to prevent any unexpected delay in obtaining them. If this is not possible, verify that the prescription can be filled the day of the surgery by your selected pharmacy and that it has been filled prior to leaving after your surgery. Controlled substances cannot be transferred to another pharmacy without a new prescription sent directly from the provider. You do not want to be trying to get in contact with a physician in the hours after surgery, unable to manage pain, before the pharmacies close for the night.
- Do a thorough clean of your living area, it will make the time after surgery when you cannot independently do normal activities more bearable and a neat organised space is easier to function in when your body is not cooperating. Take special attention to removing tripping hazards and clearing a wide path from wherever you plan to spend your recovery and the bathroom.
- Plan to spend the first couple of days in one spot and on one floor and set up that area the day before surgery. If you have a downstairs bathroom a floor mattress or well setup couch can be your landing pad until you are more mobile and is the easiest during the immediate post-op period. That being said, if you don’t, it’s easier to get upstairs by sliding up on your bum immediately post-op when your pain is still well controlled than realise that you have no bathroom downstairs a few hours later when the pain has started to set in. Wherever you intend to land, plan on staying there at least a couple of days and bring all your supplies to that area. Plan to lay with your surgical leg on the outside of what you are laying on, this makes transferring easier.
- Have your recovery bed setup the day before surgery and prepared for when you return before you leave the day of, including blankets and your supply table setup.
- Meal prep, whether that means cooking or getting easy to make microwave meals is up to you. You won’t feel like cooking and neither will your caretaker the first few days. High protein, easy to eat meals are key! We had chicken and broccoli casserole, egg and sausage frittata, and lots of applesauce the first few days and it was a lifesaver not to have to think about meals.
- Spend some time mentally preparing for the long haul of recovery and make long term plans that fit within your timeline. For example, we planned to attend a rugby game five days after surgery *but* planned nothing else for that day and the next day. We also planned hiking trips the next fall, and other events appropriate for her timeline along the way that could be looked forward to and keep up morale. Remember that this is temporary and that it is okay to be recovering and resting, expect hard moments and days but keep things planned so you don’t get stuck in those down places.
- Eat your favourite meal and eat well the day before surgery. Your body needs fuel to recover and fasting the day of surgery sucks. As weird as it sounds, after multiple surgeries, the pre-surgery night meal of whatever I want is one shiny thing in a crappy situation to hold on to.
- Plan for what you want your first meal to be and consider making a playlist for the ride to and from surgery. Small things, again, help maintain a sense of control and comfort in a situation where you are largely out of control and these things can be done with friends or support people in the days leading up to reduce anxiety and pass time.
- Hit the gym, take a walk, do a hike, visit places or do things you enjoy but won’t be able to do in immediate recovery! We took my partners knee to one last tournament before her surgery, it helped pass time and kept spirits high.
Day Of And Immediate Post-Surgery Phase
- Maintain fasting starting at whatever hour you are told. Some people can drink clear liquids up to a certain point, others are completely nothing by mouth. Your instructions will guide you on this.
- Before leaving home double check that everything is set up how you need it and place a blanket, pillow, drink, and snack of choice in the car. You may or may not need it but if you do it is important to have. Make sure your ice packs are in the freezer ready to go!
- Bring your own post-op snack if you are picky or have food allergies, otherwise you’re stuck with whatever graham cracker and applesauce combo the facility gives you.
- Go with the flow, or as I always say “surrender”. Feel what you feel, have a cry in the car before you go in, listen to your playlist, bring your blanket or other comfort items into pre-op, tell your support person what’s going through your mind, tell your pre-op staff how you’re doing, ask all the questions, and most importantly just do what you have to do. For some people surgery can be overwhelming and the loss of control frightening, but fighting only makes it worse, so whatever you are just be it. I’m pre-op pacer myself, but some people just snuggle up under some warm blankets and wait. Either way, just let the waves take you where they go and know you’re along for the ride. Remember that future you with a healthy joint thanks you for what you’re doing today.
- Speak frankly with your anesthesiologist and utilise any pain control or anxiety control options given to you. There is no award for least meds taken or toughest patient of the day. If a nerve block is available, know that you can request sedation for its placement, and utilise that option if at all possible.
- Caregivers should bring something to keep them entertained and be prepared for a long period without update once surgery has started. Honour your feelings as well, it can be tough to watch someone you care about go through this! Consider having someone to act as a support person for you as well through text or phone, that way you can divert your own worries or struggles to them and away from the person having surgery while still making sure you are also taken care of.
- Make sure that pain is well controlled before leaving after surgery. You have more options there than you will at home and getting things under control once pain has become unbearable can be very difficult.
- Make sure you note when the next dose of medication is due, what medication they should be taking, and write it down.
- Double check contacts from your surgeons office and add any post op paperwork to your folder in case you need the information later.
- If your post-op meal requires picking up, or your prescription, try and do that immediately after leaving surgery even if you are not hungry yet. This is the most comfortable you will be for a while and your support person will be unable to leave for at least that day and night. I have been known to peruse the big gas station after surgery in search of snacks, my partner however simply waved to the nice people at the drive through and napped the rest of the way home before eating some hours later.
- Once you get home crash wherever you plan on spending the rest of the time. Don’t have friends or family over that first day. Just go ahead and sleep through the rest of the anaesthesia and get comfortable.
- Try and keep your home cool, and consider keeping the room dim for the first few hours if not days. Sleep is precious and pain meds can make you hot, and getting hot can lead to nausea. It is better to have the home cool and the person snuggled under blankets and comfortable than be trying to cool someone down who just had surgery and got too hot and is now dizzy, nauseous, and miserable. The least stimulation for the first little while the better, and naps will happen throughout the rest of the day and over the next few days. A cool, dim place lets this happen much easier than a bright, warm place where they might be overstimulated or awakened by noise or activity.
- If allowed, try and activate the quad muscle immediately after returning home and once every few hours by having them squeeze it and feeling for contraction while in the brace. Some people will be able to begin range of motion exercises immediately and if so, make sure to do them as soon as allowed even if that means just helping them by doing gentle manual range of motion movements in the brace.
- If it’s not already on, begin continuous icing as soon as you come out of surgery either by meticulously timing the replacement of ice packs or with the ice machine. Make sure to check the ice machine, replace ice as often as needed, and keep it on *continuously* for the next few days. For us this meant I checked it at every medication dose throughout the night and added ice during that time as well. We went through frozen mini water bottles and bags of ice like crazy the first week.
- Elevate the surgical leg as high as possible, placing support under the heel and calf but not directly under the knee to promote extension and prevent more headaches with gaining range of motion later on.
- We found that icepacks directly under the knee helped tremendously with the discomfort associated with this.
- Anticipate that bathroom trips will not be fun or easy and take them extremely slow. As a caregiver allow the person to guide you on what they need and don’t need your help with and avoid grabbing or moving someone unexpectedly. Standing, acclimating to being upright, and then proceeding to the bathroom is the best way to do things and rushing will only result in frustration for both of you. A rolling chair or wheelchair can be helpful, but for some people standing up and sitting down is harder than just moving on to the bathroom. Pay attention as a caregiver and know that it is possible they may need your help getting off the toilet or back from the bathroom so be close by and available should that happen. For the first few days do not lock the bathroom door in case of an emergency.
- Place chairs or things to sit on around your path to the bathroom, kitchen, etc. And consider a small backpack or using a rolling chair to carry items around the house.
- Once you know when your next dose is, set alarms for each time your doses are due. If using the med boxes this makes doing meds and keeping track very easy, as they are each labelled with a time and all we had to do was open the box and take the meds instead of finding each bottle and dosing each med individually each time. As the days went on we were able to re-label and time the boxes as needed and remove meds as needed or adapt to what was needed when sleeping or up during the day.
- For example day 1 would look like:
- First post-op doses at 4pm box: 250mg tylenol, 10mg oxycodone, 5mg edible.
- 8pm box: 250mg tylenol, 10mg oxycodone, 800mg ibuprofen, 10mg edible, 12.5mg diphenhydramine (itching and sleep), stool softener, and regular night time meds.
- Midnight box: 250mg tylenol, 5mg oxycodone, 5mg edible.
- 4AM: 250mg tylenol, 5mg oxycodone, 800mg ibuprofen, edible (if nauseas or restless).
- 8AM box (preparing to get up): 250mg tylenol, 10mg oxycodone, 5mg edible, aspirin, stool softener, normal morning meds.
- 12pm: 250mg tylenol, 10mg oxycodone, 5mg edible, 800mg ibuprofen.
- Repeated on time, reducing pain med dose as tolerable, and refilling boxes 1x a day.
- If possible do scheduled tylenol (paracetamol) and ibuprofen (or another NSAID), alternating them on the dosing schedule, and take them religiously even through the night. This also goes for additional pain medications, which you will also need to wake to take through the night if you are prescribed for at least the first night.
- Staying on schedule might mean waking up in the night, but it’s better to be awoken to take meds than to wake up in pain and spend several hours trying to get it under control. You may find you seldom need them if your nerve block is in place, or you may just not need very much at all during your recovery. It is easier to trial run this after the first day by stretching out the time between doses from 4 to 6 to 8 and then potentially off entirely, but everyone will have their preferences.
- Eat a small snack with every med dose and keep emergency meds (extra pain med doses, nausea meds, etc.) at bedside as well as the next set of meds due so they can be taken when it is time.
- We found that edibles were a great addition to pain and nausea control after surgery. There are medication options available and having at least one option for nausea is advisable for the first few days after surgery when anaesthesia and medication can really make you want to puke.
- Expect absolutely nothing in the first few days post-op. Some people will feel well enough to move around, others will not be able to do anything but get up to use the bathroom. Expecting nothing is better than expecting more and being disappointed or frustrated. I would highly suggest not making plans until your first follow up 7 or so days after surgery.
- Be obsessive about icing, meds, any PT you have been given, and keeping track of appointments. Give yourself the best start to your recovery that you can and you will thank yourself later!

Looking for recommendations on other free or psplus games to play online with friends; not looking for anything super competitive like COD or Fortnite; instead we love moving out 2, overcooked, rocket league, fall guys, golf with your friends, sackboy, and even uno. Any other similar good games to play with friends (while possibly high)?

2024.05.21 21:57 bookwormsub F/51 Looking for platonic friends
Hello everyone.
I'm a 51 year old female that lives in Florida. I would love to have someone to chat with about shared interests (at least some). I can send either hand written letters or typed, or we can text or email. I will NOT share pictures of myself.
Now a bit about me, I love to cook and bake and I love to share recipes. I'm not a healthy eater. LOL I believe in butter, sugar, oil, etc to make my food taste good. I love easy crosswords and logic puzzles - both in books (pennydellpuzzles.com) and online (conceptispuzzles.com). Maybe we can share puzzles and work on them together (but obviously not at the same time - LOL)? I love board games, domino games, card games. I would love to have you as a friend at boardgamesarena.com. I love playing new games at least once or twice to see if I like it. I also quilt mostly, but I occasionally also crochet and cross stitch (very occasionally). I used to read a lot but my other hobbies have crowded that out. I am trying to learn German and ASL (American Sign Language), but not getting too far with either of those. I am thinking about learning history, but really don't know where to start (US history as well as world).
I don't watch TV or movies, so I won't be able to chat about those. I do watch a lot of YouTube and TikTok and would love to share videos or YouTube channels. I also don't talk politics or watch the news.
Anyway, DM me if you are interested.

2024.05.21 21:54 Different-Ad-2515 Please help-current info on marker CD-79b
Hi, I’m just diagnosed a few days ago with B cell NHL, not sure yet of the sub-type. This is one of the markers listed in my pathology report on the lymph node they removed, and I’m really freaking out about seeing online some things that said this is not good news for outcomes. Can you let me know if this is true and like any idea how bad this is? I haven’t gotten to see the oncologist yet and I’m frankly really scared. Thanks!

2024.05.21 21:52 OhMyGodThisIsMyJam Closet Rhymes: Love and Beats from Torontos streets - From Clout To Clink: Bottom 5
Top 5, from the streets of Toronto, had always tried to live up to his older brother, Foolish. When Foolish was killed, Top 5 took on his persona, chasing clout online to fill the emptiness. He got caught up in wild behavior that eventually landed him in prison for the murder of a 21-year-old student—an innocent guy caught in the crossfire.
Prison was a whole different game. All that bravado he had online? Gone. The inmates saw right through him and quickly put him in his place. Top 5 had to figure out how to survive, leaving his GGG (Go Get Em Gang) crew behind and trying to find out who he really was without all the fronting.
Then he met El Presidante, a real killer with a serious rep. El Presidante remembered all the trash Top 5 talked about him online. Their first encounter was brutal. "You think you're funny?" El Presidante growled, pinning him against the wall. "All that stuff you said about me online. You got the guts to say it now?"
Top 5 was shook. El Presidante didn’t just beat him down physically—he took control in ways Top 5 never expected. But something weird happened. What started as fear turned into something else. Top 5 found himself drawn to El Presidante’s presence, craving his attention despite the pain.
Their encounters were intense, a mix of fear, pain, and twisted affection. Top 5 couldn't help but need El Presidante’s touch. Prison life became less harsh with El Presidante around, even if their relationship was all kinds of messed up. Top 5 struggled with the guilt of leaving his gang, but he couldn’t deny the bond he was forming with El Presidante.
Determined to stay close to El Presidante, Top 5 started acting out on Instagram Live via his prison purse IPhone X. He went wild, incriminating himself further with every post, ensuring he’d never leave prison. He even dropped a track from prison, confessing to the murder. The song blew up, securing his place in prison for life and tying him to El Presidante forever.
Their story became a wild tale of unexpected love in the darkest place. Top 5 went from chasing clout to finding a weird kind of solace and redemption with the man who now controlled his world.

2024.05.21 21:47 FreqRL [Build Guide] Buff-barian Earthquake
| I did some research on how the order of buff synergies, because I couldn't find anything about them online. After doing 2-3 short runs to figure out their connecting paths, I figured I'd make a build that uses all buffs (except Haste, because I hate moving too fast). The result was pretty intense! I managed to get to OL12 without any issue, and was able to facetank it while being AFK (the gif is OL11 but I got to OL12 later on). The run is literally still on-going in the background as I'm typing this guide, so I'm pretty convinced it works. The Build Skill selection Runes Have an exact selection of skills, combined with the Prowess rune to ensure you have every buff, or a way to synergize into them, made stronger by the Synergetic rune. Combine with Earth skills because Earthquake is easy damage and Earth Shield provides immense healing. Core mechanics Contrary to my other builds, the core of this build isn't a particular skill, but rather scaling buffs to such a degree that your stats essentially don't matter anymore. In order to get all buffs, we need to use synergies to get them. The only alternative is to take skill that grant us the buff directly, but that would require an insane amount of Skill Mastery runes. If we want to get the synergy passives, we must have 2 sources for the "start" buff. For example, if we want the synergy passive that grants Bulwark when we get Finesse, we must have 2 sources of Finesse already. Once you get a synergy passive, that passive now also counts as a source for that buff, so you can daisy-chain them to get more synergies. Additionally, we can get Prowess from a Rune, which also counts as a source for the synergies. Combining all buffs (except Haste), we can get damage, crit chance, crit damage, multicast, armor and block. We can get those stats to such a high degree, that choosing any of these as an actual reward becomes borderline useless. If you've already got 2000% increased damage, getting +15% as a rare reward doesn't do much anymore. What remains is cast frequency, (some) multicast, health and experience. We also need a bit of movespeed to make it a bit more comfortable during the earlier levels, but as we'll completely stop moving around OL8, we don't need too much of it either. Even though we also get multicast from the Finesse buff, it's the one buff that we don't have any synergies towards so it doesn't get quite as high as the others. Breakdown This skill uses the Unexpected Arsenal rune to allow all weapon-specific skills to be selected freely. Skill Selection For the Bulwark (block) and Finesse (multicast) buffs, we use Whirlwind and Double Slash. Double Slash has the added benefit of also applying the Debilitated debuff on enemies, reducing their damage dealt. Since both skills grant both buffs, we immediately apply for both synergies. However, Finesse synergizes into Bulwark, which we already have 2 sources for. Still, more block is never bad, and it provides an extra chance to trigger Bulwark's synergy, which goes into Aptitude (crit damage). This is our only source for Aptitude, so the extra chance to trigger it isn't unwelcome. Whirlwind is almost exactly the same as Double Slash, just without the Debilitated debuff. For Prowess (damage) and Resilience (armor), we primarily use Heavy Strike and the Prowess rune. Like previously mentioned, the rune counts as a source of Prowess and allows us to synergize into Resilience. That synergy passive then becomes the second source, allowing us to synergize Resilience into Form (crit chance). Heavy Strike also applies Bleed, but we don't actually scale it so it doesn't do much in the bigger picture. To make the build actually deal damage, we include Earthquake, which is one of the highest damaging abilities in the game, due to the Brittle stacks it applies and the Colossal buff. Brittle stacks on enemies increases the damage of future hits by a flat value. This means that you're better off using a skill that does a ton of small hits, instead of using slow but heavy-hitting skills. Earthquake itself is a skill that does a ton of small hits, which means it both applies a lot of Brittle, and take great advantage of those stacks. Further more, as you get higher level and start casting Earthquake more often, you'll both apply more Brittle and hit more often, which makes Earthquake particularly powerful. The Colossal stacks provided by Earthquake also make Earthquake itself hit a much bigger area. With enough multicast and skill-chaining, we can get Earthquake to cover pretty much the entire arena. This is another way in which casting Earthquake faster make Earthquake more powerful in general. https://preview.redd.it/nacvbt2cyt1d1.png?width=689&format=png&auto=webp&s=c830d93242cc00dd7ab3cf8fb1cb194f8c9bb53f An easy second choice for an Earth skill is Earth Shield. Not only does it also provide another source of Resilience to allow us to synergize Form from, it also provides massive amount of healing. With the amount of block and armor this build is already stacking, this healing can make us borderline immune to anything but one-shots if we get enough multicast and skillchaining. https://preview.redd.it/avc1bdtpyt1d1.png?width=395&format=png&auto=webp&s=b7891025b7e59fe2ffeaeaa764a82c5ca2c900ed For our 6th and final skill, we use Scent of Blood. We've got a pretty big stack of Finesse building and Scent of Blood is just an easy stack of Cast Frequency. It also creates a feedback loop where we get Finesse stacks from attacking, but Scent of Blood makes us attack faster, resulting in more Finesse stacks, make Scent of Blood stronger, and so on. This makes scaling Scent of Blood slow at first, but once it picks up, it is easily maxxed out. Do be aware that the Cast Frequency provided by Scent of Blood doesn't apply to Scent of Blood itself. You'll need to scale some skill-specific cast frequency for Scent of Blood, and keep an eye out for any Duration passives as well to get 100% uptime. https://preview.redd.it/akimp052zt1d1.png?width=397&format=png&auto=webp&s=51109cb4fadbdd8099315a8788795c64b451f546 Mechanics Skill-chains As always, skillchaining is the main way to scale the build, as it allows you to bypass the long cooldowns. The most important one is Swing-to-Earth, since we really need a ton of Earthquake and Earth Shield casts to get end-game damage and healing. Swing-to-Slam is also fine for getting more Prowess and Resilience stacks. Synergies Synergies are really what makes this build work. It's the best way of scaling our buffs into the ridiculous amounts. There's not much to be said about them, since they're just passive rewards, but they are on par with some legendary rewards for this build. Skill Choice The Earth kills I chose are largely because Earthquake is mega-OP and Earth Shield honestly is as well. You could probably swap them out for Holy skills without losing too much, since they also provide some healing, but I don't think you'll be able to deal as much damage. If you don't mind losing the healing, I doubt there's a skill you couldn't make work with this setup. Rune choice https://preview.redd.it/7n2ha8be0u1d1.png?width=368&format=png&auto=webp&s=d4e4c319b8d3f794cd7a214c5b6d6cc30769c593 Versatility Runes: It's the usual combo of Endless Refill and Reroll Mastery to get easy skills selection, and we need Unexpected Arsenal to get acces to Heavy Strike. I wanted Heavy Strike since it's fast, but it's not a requirement for the build specifically. You could swap out Unexpected Arsenal for anything you want, but then you need to change Heavy Strike for any other skill that at least grants Prowess. I'd recommend Armor Shatter. It's a bit slower, but it does provide the Shattered debuff, which might be nice. Tenacity Runes: The most important one by far is the Divine Legacy rune, which is (in my opinion) easily the best rune in the game. By cleverly saving and using your locks only at every 25th level, you can get 3 legendary passives every 25 levels, which is just crazy. This is probably true for almost every build, so you'll see this section in a lot of my builds. Synergetic is super important for really getting the most out of the buffs you get from your skills, as is the case for any build that focuses heavily on buff or damaging debuffs. You need the Battle Proficiency rune for triggering the Prowess into Resilience synergy, but that synergy isn't mandatory for the build to work since Earth Shield already grants Resilience. It's probably the best choice, but you can swap it out as needed. Critical Mastery is super effective for our build since we can reach around 1000% crit chance at our highest point through Aptitude stacks. That's an easy extra 250% extra crit damage, which is pretty significant. Stat priorities These are the priorities for "basic" stats. Skill chain, type-synergies ( like "more damage per ice skill for non-ice skills", and legendary rewards are almost always better. Prioritize in order: Buff Synergies Any buff synergy is good, even those that provide armor or block. Buff Synergies are so good, I personally consider them on-par with several Legendary passives don't do as much for our build (like Physical Damage for example). Health It's a bit weird to have Health listed this high, but in reality, we really don't need much else. Our buff provide such insane base stats, that we really don't need to worry about our damage output. Rest You might want to get some Cast Frequency or other stats at first to get the build going, but it's really not necesary to overinvest. It might not make your start the quickest, but this is a marathon-build, not a sprinter. Likewise, you'll probably want some movespeed to make dodging easier, but you won't be need to do much dodging in the end-game, so don't go overboard. Increased Experience is honestly pretty good for this build, since most of your power will come from the Legendary skill-chain and multicast passives and boosting Scent of Blood to get your cooldowns lower. That's the build! It's not very suprising that stacking a ton of buffs would result in a killing machine, but I didn't quite expect to be so unkillable. This was definitely one of the more fun builds to do, since I had to figure out which buffs synergize to what and which skills to take to get the daisy-chain started effectively. In the GIF that I linked at the start of this post, I actually did the build semi-wrong, since I didn't take the Prowess rune (even though I intended to at the start). I only later noticed that it was missing, and only then found out that Earth Shield also provided Resilience, so that was pretty lucky for me. Fortunately, you guys have this build so you don't need to make the same mistake I did :) If you haven't seen it, please have a look at my previous build, the Conflagrate Barbarian. submitted by FreqRL to SoulstoneSurvivors [link] [comments] |

2024.05.21 21:45 keraned Learning English
Guys, hello everyone! (I’ll say in advance, if I’m from Russia, please don’t be aggressive, I’m not interested in politics, only what’s below in the text, thank you). Recently I caught myself thinking that I want to learn English. The most effective way that I have found is to talk to a native speaker. I understand that not everyone is able, as a free teacher, to simply sit with me on discord/telegram or somewhere else, correct me and teach me something. There is an option with games (that is, during gameplay, for example in Minecraft, just chat as friends). In short, I propose an online friendship in which I would like to learn English. If anyone agrees, write, I would be very happy!

2024.05.21 21:45 hunterc1310 Notes from Mike Straw's CFB 25 stream
-Option offenses received a ton of attention (new animations, tons of efficiency and speed) *could be OP*
-You will notice when you use a 2 star player against a 5 star player (5 star players apparently feel different)
-Wear & Tear matters a ton in longer games. You'll be able to tell by how he plays if a player isn't receiving proper rest.
-Online Dynasty will not be cross play *this* year. It is something they want in the future
-Gameplay and the core dynasty experience was a big focus for this game
-Mascot mode likely NOT in the game this year
-Deep dives coming soon *possibly this week*
-Madden and CFB 25 on same engine, but the developer have done a lot to make CFB 25 feel different than Madden.
-CFB 25 will play much faster than Madden
-Many new animations for CFB 25. "Plenty of new catch animations"
-POSSIBLE THAT HELMETS COULD GET KNOCKED OFF
-Not a full ESPN license. Just the broadcasters like Kirk and Chris. NO ESPN SCOREBUG
-The easier schools will be really easy to play against if you are a bigger school even on the harder difficulties. (example used is Michigan vs Buffalo)
-No mode like The Yard from Madden in CFB 25
-He reiterates that this game will not be barebones. It is treated as a "foundation building" game.
-Dynasty and RTG will have a ton of replay value
-A LOT OF EFFORT INTO HOW THE OFFSEASON WORKS IN DYNASTY
-No BCS option for Dynasty. Playoff only
-It's all about becoming a "Huge Star" in RTG. NIL plays a role in the mode
-College Gameday not really in the game. Will be a preshow, but not really College Gameday
-Custom Playbooks
-Recruiting is deeper
-Teambuilder is basic, but enough for people to be happy
-More detailed substitutions
-A lot of different equipment compared to madden
-Many different crowd reactions
-Full gameplay footage by early June
-There will be a ticker at the bottom of the screen
-FIRST TRUE CURRENT GEN FOOTBALL GAME FROM EA. GROUND UP CURRENT GEN
-Will come to PC with future releases

2024.05.21 21:40 Luke514_2 Fundamental tips to build a gaming PC
I would like to play games like total war, bannerlord 2 etc. and I need to build my first pc.
I don't know
how to build it. I have senn online a lot of tutorial but I think the best solution is to ask enthusiasts like you.
Specifically, I would like to have a
comprehensive guide (also send links if it already exists)
to help me choose the "main" parts:
- GPU
- CPU
- RAM
- power supply
- ventilation system (?)
What I would like to know is
how to choose these components so that they are in “tune” with each other!
For example, I expect you to tell me, "gpu and cpu must not create a bottleneck.." or "RAM frequency must be.." or "is it possible to increase the RAM with this motherboard?.." etc.
I know there are many sources online, but if I may, I would like your opinion according to your personal experiences.
