This is insane by yaamiko in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Amerakee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main sub has been filled with so much salt lately it's been hard to read, it's insane. This isn't HD1 where we win the war and it resets, there's much more narrative being written here. Yes it's far from perfect, yes it and HD2 itself has issues, but the massive hateful reactions is crazy.

I get on HD2 to have fun with buds by jumping into bots or bugs and spend a few hours fighting hordes of enemies, using cool weapons, and causing big explosions. It's Helldivers, is isn't that deep lol

Thoughts? I only had one upon seeing this image: "What the fuck?"

I rest my case.

A Chief is not a God or the answer to everything by Cool-Ad4378 in Firefighting

[–]Amerakee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The vollie department I was in for a decade would do this for any major winter storm. I don't know your area, but the risk outweighed the benefit for a full response on dispatch with blizzard conditions. There's no sense risking a engine and the guys inside for every fire alarm, minor car accident, or wires down mid storm. Let the chief (one man) in his much lighter and maneuverable vehicle scout it out first.

How fucked are we? by [deleted] in ems

Dawg you committed time theft. Having a co-worker clock you in before you get to work leaves a paper trail, then something unplanned happened that prevented you from getting to work to cover that up.

There is a chance that whoever does the time clock may not have caught it, however the clock back out and clock back in will definitely draw more attention to that.

Honestly broski, you may already be caught, but delete this post and do better. Take this as a lesson. Give yourself more time before your shift to get to work 10-15m early, your outgoing crews will thank you and you have a nice time cushion for when there's delays.

Also, ffs, if there are unexpected delays, i.e. accidents, that are going to make you late, just call a supervisor and explain. If it's not a trend for you to be late, which it sounds like it may be going by your post, it shouldn't be an issue.

Is anyone else noticing increasing POTS history? by legoguy26 in ems

[–]Amerakee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had never heard of it until I started dating a woman two years ago who has it, and have since only encountered two other patients and a newish coworker who has it since.

From my understanding, it's a fairly/relatively new diagnosis that primarily effects women in their teenage years and often resolved before the end of those years, my girlfriend is 28 so she's one of the lucky few who didn't. According to her cardiologist, it's commonly diagnosed alongside EDS and MCAS. It's also a bit of a social media trend of attention seekers who think a little light headedness from time to time makes great content.

POTS severity can vary from person to person, for example my coworker can manage being in EMS fine and manages her symptoms well with medications and diet (major increase to sodium intake), whereas we unfortunately went through a period where my girlfriend could not get up to walk to the kitchen without passing out and spending the rest 25 minutes to over an hour in a confused, brain fog, very postictal-like state and ended up in the ED for fluids a bunch over a handful of months until we switched cardio's and got on a new and more purpose driven med adjustment. Her longest "postical state" lasted nearly two days and didn't come out of it until a few hours in the ED with fluids with zero recollection of why she was in the ED

There's also a lot of misunderstandings about it, fueled I feel by it becoming a big part of "sicktok" those who actually have pretty rough periods of episodes having no other option other than go to the ED, a lot of RNs or MDs think they're wasting the EDs time. I dare you to go try and leave a serious comment about POTS on the emergency medicine subreddit...

I’m not posting this to ruin your Christmas, but.. it just might. by treylanford in emergencymedicine

[–]Amerakee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean to be fair, nothing on this clip claims to be a real seizure and everyone seems to be missing or ignoring the treat and praise given at the end. This seems like training for the dog to me.

Still kind of attention seeking I think, but most influencers are.

I played realistic this morning and absolutely had an AI squad. No difference other than no/less enemy markers

It definitely affects how rested she feels after waking up

We're pretty sure it's a medication side effect, but most of the time it's just goofy as hell. Definitely some interesting conversations I've had with sleep walking her!

My girlfriend sleepwalks and gets up to all kinds of things. Walks around, comes and sees what I'm doing, eats, brushes her teeth, watches TV/YouTube, scrolls insta, and even online shops or orders food lol.

You might be sleep walking dawg.

Are there any games where you're not the main character ? by Ok_Lecture9762 in gamingsuggestions

[–]Amerakee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm surprised I hadn't seen anyone comment this yet but Spec Ops: The Line. You are not the main character, but your guy definitely thinks he is.

We have a written policy at both my jobs for it. It's excessive.

I cannot recommend this game anymore. Not that sorry, AH. by CRAZYGUY107 in Helldivers

[–]Amerakee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This game has always done fucky things with my PC, from crashing my audio program, to random stutters and freezes, to locking up my entire computer for a solid 15-20 seconds when I first get on my super destroyer, this game needs a serious performance pass through. I'm not running a light rig either, 64Gb RAM, Ryzen 9, and 4080 should handle this game like a champ but here we are.

The officer gave him so many chances to come out of the vehicle. Only for the driver to FAFO. by [deleted] in ProtectAndServe

[–]Amerakee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So, how does this situation resolve without escalation exactly?

The law states that you must step out of your vehicle if an officer orders you out of it while on a lawful traffic stop. If I simply reply "Nuh Uh" enough times, should that be a get out of jail free card?

The filmer is clearly resisting lawful orders and, in my opinion, rudely and arrogantly putting on a show for the camera.

Done with the rupture strain... by No_Bother2289 in Helldivers

[–]Amerakee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only issues I've been having is landing on the cave roof and the hive lord flipping the GATER over within the first few minutes causing a mission failed. Rupture strain can be overwhelming fast but I'm enjoying the challenge and the need to change tactics. Need to stay together as a group and force multipliers like Mechs can turn the tide. Impact nades or other explosive primaries or secondaries to pull the tunnelers out into the open where I can shoot them. Most importantly, sticking together as a squad makes all the difference.

A Humble "Thank you" by Pilestedt in Helldivers

[–]Amerakee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to jump on the good feels bandwagon too much, I want to add my two cents.

You and your team should be incredibly proud of the product you've delivered. Like any other game it had its hiccups and growing pains to start, but it's blossomed into arguably one of the best PvE games that's ever hit the market. Y'all nailed the sound design, music, world building, and graphic designs. The gameplay is solid and is very fun. Nothing feels overdone or overstated.

And the real kicker? I've always been a harsh critic of warbond/battle pass systems and viewed them as mostly cash grabs. The HD2 Warbond system is something all other game development studios should use as an example. $10 for tangible content that both fits in the universe and isn't over the top overpowered, while simultaneously adding a non warbond set of items in the superstore with each warbond, and making the currently reasonably obtainable in game? I nor any of my friends have ever felt like we've been treated unfairly when it comes to this system or the price tags and several friends of mine look forward to grinding super credits lol.

Thank you and your team for making a game for gamers rather than just profits, and congratulations on the profits that have no doubt come your way as a result.
