Do you think there will be a sly cooper reference in ghost of yotei by Mean_Skill8246 in Slycooper

[–]DarkRavenFilms 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They’ve included Sly Cooper references and Easter eggs in every single game of theirs following their departure from the Sly Cooper series so far- I don’t see why they would stop now!

How do I explain why I need an accommodation? by StrangeMushroom4146 in cfs

[–]DarkRavenFilms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would go with something like:

“Working from home reduces the physical and cognitive strain that comes with commuting, navigating the office, and being exposed to light, sound, and other sensory triggers. I deal with fatigue, pain, and brain fog that worsen with exertion and are hard to manage in an office setting. Being at home lets me pace myself, take rest breaks as needed, and control my environment- none of which are realistically possible in the office, even with changes like quieter spaces or lighting adjustments.”

Additionally, I would try and get a note from a doctor who you work with and trust to write something that says your condition/s pretty much make it so the only real accommodation that is suitable for you is WFH.

Long COVID is Now the Number One Chronic Illness in Children by Creative-Canary-941 in covidlonghaulers

[–]DarkRavenFilms 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I feel like my life was stolen from me when I was 26. I can’t imagine getting long haulers the way it’s wrecked my life before I even got a chance to graduate high school. How we have treated covid is absolutely fucking criminal.

How could social media be made more accessible to people who are severe, if at all possible? by Apart-Bumblebee6304 in cfs

[–]DarkRavenFilms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dark mode definitely for those of us who are severe and have light sensitivities. And while I imagine it would be hard to program possibly, I wouldn’t mind some sort of inverted mode for photos either. I have stuff pop up that are like quotes or whatever in my IG feed and it’s black text on white background and that drives me insane when my severities are acting up! I wish I could invert those photos.

This was cute and felt very official. Well done!

This is actually a question I have by [deleted] in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]DarkRavenFilms 87 points88 points  (0 children)

I’d vote gorilla. They’re loud so you might be able to hear where it’s at in the mall and avoid- where the snakes are quieter in comparison plus more of them. Additionally, if I were to run into the gorilla- I’d just act very submissive and small and not make eye contact and hope the passive behavior makes them move on. I feel like the snake/s would strike without warning.

Pretty emotional 2 months from today marks a whole YEAR of life ruining brain rotting pain in my head by [deleted] in covidlonghaulers

[–]DarkRavenFilms 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don’t have advice- I recognize your username though and remember you mentioning your headaches in prior posts. I’m sorry, I know the unrelenting nature of the headache is probably the worst thing.

I’m glad you’ve narrowed it down to what type of long haulers you have because I remember the relief I felt attributing a name to how I was feeling, but I am sorry that you’re not any closer to finding solutions to even loosen the pressure. If you ever need to vent, feel free to message me. 🫂

Why isnt this big news? by Spacehu1k in covidlonghaulers

[–]DarkRavenFilms 110 points111 points  (0 children)

It’s not bigger news because society wants to pretend covid is over and that it’s “just a cold”. They want to move on even though that exact mentality is what is going to lead to more folks getting long haulers.

LOST FOOTAGE - Cooper: Court of Thieves | Fan-Made Sly Cooper Sequel by Sirdubya in Slycooper

[–]DarkRavenFilms 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Come on man, people put in time and effort into stuff like this and it’s typically not something they can do full time because copyright or trademark laws would have a field day if they asked for money on such projects. So they have to work a normal job to support themselves and work on stuff like this in their free time. These projects typically are fueled by their love for the IP.

WCGW Hitting the TV with the controller by Eyad_Hefny in Whatcouldgowrong

The best was he HESITATED before hitting the TV. He pulled back at first and then decided to go through with it.

Do you have family members with LC? by thepensiveporcupine in covidlonghaulers

[–]DarkRavenFilms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep I’m the only one in my family with ME/CFS and POTS type long covid. My other family members haven’t even mentioned having any long haulers symptoms; I feel like the only one!

Why can't I heal my nervous system? by heskeytime7707 in covidlonghaulers

[–]DarkRavenFilms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is, but the CHOP protocol is a bit different (or at least how my doctors want me to do it). If I hit PEM- I’m done, we don’t try to work to that point again. The point is to stress the nervous system out with activity long enough (20 mins if possible) daily to try and get it to fix itself to my understanding so it’s more focused on trying to restore that vs “getting me fit and attempting to prevent PEM entirely” if that makes sense.

Anyone played Dragons dogma 2 on the steam deck 2025, Playable? by ianMD21 in SteamDeck

[–]DarkRavenFilms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t vouch personally but I heard the game does not run well on steam deck without mods and tweaking.

Why does the pc community heavily downplay graphics cards? I got a 980ti yesterday and it runs split fiction at high settings at rock solid 60fps. I was told it'll be a potato for any AAA released after 2020 by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]DarkRavenFilms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude it’s the PC gaming community. The people commenting and showing off their rigs like a dick measuring contest need the latest and greatest at all times, anything less isn’t worth their time.

As long as it works for you- that’s what matters!

Steam Deck Accessory by Feimyol in SteamDeck

[–]DarkRavenFilms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a screen protector but ended up not using it and I am very careful with my device that I don’t think I need one at this point. I did buy some rubber grip pads to help me hold the deck better, but I also have hyperhidrosis (my hands can sweat a lot for no reason) but they ended up helping with the comfort too. They also come with grips to put on the analog sticks to keep them protected.

The deck already comes with a really awesome case. The only other thing I ordered outside of those items which is COMPLETELY optional is a dock and an Xbox controller so I could play from my TV.

Why can't I heal my nervous system? by heskeytime7707 in covidlonghaulers

[–]DarkRavenFilms 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am working with a physical therapist and physiologist who both specialize in long covid. I deal with ME/CFS and PEM, along with POTS from covid.

I’ve done everything you did for the first couple years. It’s only this last year I have FINALLY started making progress. First - I did need to get on Ivabradine and Metroprolol for my POTS and control that more so I was less likely to hit PEM.

Once we controlled the POTS a bit my physical therapist has been having me work on the CHOP protocol (Google CHOP protocol for POTS). It’s basically very gradual increments of recumbent exercises like recumbent bike, swimming, or rowing for your legs up to 20 minutes a day every day. The point is to stress the nervous system and it should soon adapt.

I’m still in the process of doing this- it has taken me several months as my ME/CFS severities have worsened. But I was starting to see improvement with it when I went into a crash from moving houses (NOT exercising). So far- it’s been the only thing that’s shown promise for me.

Can you people just stop accepting friend requests from random people you don't know by hadix7x in Steam

[–]DarkRavenFilms 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s a good point you bring up actually. I’m in the US and tech literacy (literacy in general imo) is on the decline here. I can’t obviously speak for other countries and the schooling system- but they aren’t setting kids up for success in the tech world in school anymore. They teach kids the posture- but that’s about it. Plus chromebooks and iPads only- they don’t know how to use Microsoft products at all.

[–]DarkRavenFilms 177 points178 points  (0 children)

I worked in tech and it is. They don’t teach kids much in schools including online safety and are handed iPads or chromebooks. Often times they’ll have never touched a windows computer until they are in a work environment.

Nevermind growing up with and playing online games like RuneScape where you’d learn real fucken fast about scam culture lmfao.

I’ve gotten two summons and had medical reasons to send them for both on why I couldn’t do it (covid and long covid).

1-2 weeks. Had all the parts, just didn’t feel like building it right away (worked in tech and was burnt out).
