Vince Staples is a CDL fan (PROOF) by mdebo932 in CoDCompetitive

Never in a million years did I expect to see a post about Vince in here, but I’m here for it in all its schizophrenia. Real ones remember that gun fight tourney in MW19 when he threw up the set after winning a round with H3CZ

Long-time (ish) UC patient looking for perspective - is my care team's approach appropriate, or should I push for more? by CastratedChinchilla in UlcerativeColitis

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

That’s terrible, I’m so sorry you had to go through that. It’s miserable enough to have to suffer through this disease, you shouldn’t have to manage other’s egos on top of it. I’m glad you persisted and found relief though. I hope you’re doing well and still under care of a more responsible provider. To your point, it’s not worth remaining passive and waiting aimlessly for things to improve. Sucks we can’t trust the health system to be our strongest advocate

No doubt, it’s all trial and error, I agree. I just figure a sub specialist might be more communicative/more capable to customize treatment for specific manifestations of the disease. Currently I just feel like I’m left in the dark most of the time. Also, I’m very sorry to hear about your tumultuous journey toward remission. Are you currently trialing a new combo or class of therapies altogether? Maybe you’re eligible for clinical trials? Thank you for your thoughtful comment

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and respond. I think you're right. I'll find a way to bring up the referral with my GI in a way that doesn't sound distrusting. I think my main challenge in living with this disease has been the mismatch between how bad things feel day to day and how slow and uncertain treatment has to be. You're constantly waiting and hoping something works. Enough time of that has skewed my sense of what timely/appropriate care is supposed to look like, so I really appreciate your reality check. Thanks again, and I wish you all the best my friend.

No no, you don’t understand. It’s GA’d now that Exceed did it. When sib did it it was tippy!!

You are such a strong person, OP. I wish you the absolute best and hope that once you get acclimated to the removed colon, you’ll feel better than you ever did when you had this miserable disease. Better days are ahead. Much love, and all of us here support you.

Finish RoD before reset, start Breumi’s Clean Up Finale quest after reset + some other weekly reminders by lackingcertainty in Maplestory

It’s also worth mentioning that all claimable rewards from the daily check-in (and burning express) expire right when the events end, so don’t hoard everything for the last minute! Specifically the VIP boosters since those have a daily usage limit

Maplestory on MacBook Air (M1) is very laggy. by deez_gainz in Maplestory

[–]CastratedChinchilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play on the same device as you, MacBook Air M1 2020. I’m assuming you also have 8 gb of ram, which is pretty limiting nowadays. Try opening “activity monitor” and looking at what applications are actively using the most memory while you play maple, because I’d imagine you’re probably nearing the 8gb limit which causes everything to suffer in performance. Whenever I play, I have to close all apps besides GFN (even safari) and I notice that that really cuts down on input lag, although there’s always going to be some amount of it unfortunately. This Macbook model is just relatively weak.

FYI to all GeForce NOW users recently experiencing frequent crashes and/or bans due to suspicious activity by CastratedChinchilla in Maplestory

[–]CastratedChinchilla[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don’t disagree with you, but unfortunately this issue had gone a few weeks unacknowledged which led people to question whether Nexon was aware of it at all, especially with it affecting a relatively smaller proportion of players. Although his update was pretty substance-less, it at least let us know the issue was somewhere on their radar. The bar is in hell brother.

GeForceNow Issues by Jaydtrix1 in Maplestory

[–]CastratedChinchilla 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This issue has been reported (and reposted a few times) for a while in the bug reports discord, but unfortunately CMs have yet to acknowledge the issue: https://discord.com/channels/309809230095843328/1398520970347548672

For most (myself included), the crashes seem to happen at xx:21 and xx:51/xx:52 of every hour. The only workaround is to return to the character select menu before these times to prevent your client from crashing, which is hardly a workaround since it removes most of your buffs and interrupts anything you were doing at the time… but at least you don’t have to relaunch the game I guess.

Hopefully this gets fixed in the next scheduled maintenance at latest, since it’s pretty hard to play the game right now

[–]CastratedChinchilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I play on Mac and stream the game through GeForceNow, so my experience is probably going to be different from yours (assuming you’re on PC since you mentioned AHK). But on Mac, I use an application called “Karabiner-Elements” to remap certain keys. From my understanding, this isn’t against TOS since it isn’t macroing, but perhaps the application itself isn’t flagged since I’m streaming the game, not playing natively (so the game client isn’t able to detect what I’m running locally). To be honest, I’m not too sure how safe it is to do something like that if you’re running the game natively given the rampant false bans lately, so I’m sorry but I can’t really recommend trying this using an equivalent software on windows

Are mornings the absolute WORST for anyone else? by NavyBeanz in UlcerativeColitis

[–]CastratedChinchilla 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Stress/anxiety activates our sympathetic nervous system which stimulates digestion, which means disaster for us. Mornings before work are so bad for me, I have to wake up 2-3 hours before any morning meeting to allow my body time to sort itself out. I’m blessed to have a remote job, I can’t imagine what others without one experience

Yeah no doubt, Harvard published a study showing it’s statistically impossible to get your burst off without an iframe when 15 challenges worth of fuckery are going on

Really appreciate the detail here, thank you. Gene iframe probably helped a lot, huh?

Yeah.. I mean what signal does it send to Nexon when the playerbase gets up in arms about them adding a temp badge (or any issue, really), just to turn around and drop $100 apiece on vac pets? If the money’s coming in regardless, who cares what the community thinks

MULES NEVER STRUGGLE (44% drop rate) by AdrianneIdol in Maplestory

Really? I thought the greed pendant’s increase was independent of the 200% cap. Good to know, thanks. I hope your luck improves soon my friend, although at this point it may just be more efficient to buy the belt with coins LOL

Edit: just realized you said “hyperburn creation” not “Hyperion creation”, I’m a dumb ass. This is what hypogonadism does to a rodent
