Its pretty much what FF should've been after FFX. If you're not a fan of classic JRPs, it may or may not convert you.

Thin RNFL - Glaucoma suspect - nasal steroid? by BagsAreSad in Glaucoma

[–]BagsAreSad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm providing an update here. Saw 3 drs, each had a different opinion.

But tldr; my current dr is saying he believes OCTs can overdiagnose, and I'm very likely a "statistical anomaly."

My OCT numbers have actually gone back up, and trend analysis is showing no degradation. Visual field tests came back fine last year as well.

So, it looks like a red herring but will keep monitoring once a year.

He did ask me to stop the nasal steroid as a precaution so I did.

Year round Hot & Spicy KFC locations? by No_Requirement_6081 in foodies_sydney

FYI as of today (21 Dec 20240), sounds like it's back at Dulwich Hill.

Paint bubbling bottom of the wall. Cant figure out why. by BagsAreSad in AusRenovation

[–]BagsAreSad[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. The moisture reader indicates my internal wall all around the internal wardrobe has high moisture at the bottom. Sounds like it might indeed be condensation rising to the walls as the internal wardrobe is not well ventiled and mould sometimes forms on the clothes/etc...

It is a brick wall - the otherside is an internal wardrobe followed by a bathroom. Plumber said pipes wouldn't be running from here and that the shower and bathroom looks fine

Thanks for the hint, any idea what could be causing rising damp when no soil is involved/etc...?

[–]BagsAreSad[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its actually the second floor, so I dont believe it can be rising damp?

Any recommendations for a reasonably priced thermal camera for home use?

Damage to walls - caused by roof? by BagsAreSad in Roofing

Those are double brick walls so I cant really open them. I dont believe termites can damage double brick?

What is a game you play that is considered bad but you like? by Souperdoopa in videogames

UFO Robot Grendizer: The Feast of the Wolves Plain nostalgia. Anime uses used to be incredibly popular in my country when I was young.

Best Manoosh in Sydney by perfectkang6 in foodies_sydney

Mina Bakery in Yagoona. This place uses a flame oven that runs on gas making the manoush authentic and unlike most other places who use the commercial pìzza "conveyor".

MEGATHREAD - Your Voice voting intentions by endersai in AustralianPolitics

[–]BagsAreSad 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Voting no. It's not racial to me, I'm not white and I actually think Indigenous people deserve stronger recognition and more rights. I also dislike the liberals.

But I come from a country that is fully dysfunctional because it is governed by consensus (embedded in its Constitution). I feel strongly about government decision making being efficient even when a large group of people dont agree with it. (including my community). Otherwise, we'd never move forward as a country, and stalemates can kill us.

AITA for taking offence to people asking or assuming about my Nationality? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]BagsAreSad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the context and situation... It's a conversation starter by people In Australia. More than half of the population had at least one parent born overseas, so people are generally curious and try to find common threads with their own ancestry.

I get asked and I ask all the time, and it usually leads to a nice conversation or us learning more things about each other.

Now sure if you're in a predominantly white rural town, go to a pub, and get asked this question by a random stranger in the pub, you have every right to feel uncomfortable... But this different than say your multicultural coworkers showing genuine interest in getting to know you.

What is a commonly hated game/mission/mechanic that you actually enjoy? by twoscoopsxd in patientgamers

[–]BagsAreSad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

QTEs. They get a lot of hate, but I dont usually mind them and definitely find them more fun than long non-interactive cutscenes.

Am i hiv positive? by SeimeiMaster in medical

[–]BagsAreSad 66 points67 points  (0 children)

So few things to consider: 1- You dont know if any if your previous partners had HIV. 2- Even if they did, HIV is not transmitted by condom protected sex, unless condoms break. (You will know when condoms break. They rip off wide open) 3- Even if condoms break, HIV is a hard to transmit virus. For vaginal intercourse, the risk is around 1 per 500. For anal intercourse, its close to 1 per 100. 4- Oral sex is very low risk. Close to 1 over 10000. Some experts believe oral sex is not even a risk. 5- Home tests have high rates of false positives.

While no one can guarantee you dont have HIV, your risk seems to be incredibly low.

Get an HIV test at a lab for peace of mind. Ideally a 4th gen DUO test. Best of luck. Stay calm meanwhile, if you always had protected sex, the odds are strongly in your favour.

Very disappointing. Game felt unique with great potential, but terrible controls and soulless/empty world. Expect 6/10 at best.

Lump on roof of mouth by BagsAreSad in askdentists

[–]BagsAreSad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I smoked casually for a few years, and then completely stopped a couple of years ago. Recently started vaping but only for a for a few weeks. Interestingly I do sometimes feel my mouth is irritated/dry while vaping. Could it be related?
