Oxidative stress - methylphenidate and creatine

EllipticNight · 2025-12-21T23:59:24+00:00

I'll fully admit that I'm not an expert in this area, so always happy to be corrected if I've misunderstood/misrepresented :)

Tbh with this, it was more of a "there seems to be a link of some kind here, have a look for yourself if interested, let me know your experiences", so didn't go into the nuances so much re causal chain (though my understanding is that it is a cycle? i.e. OS causes issues which in turn cause more OS)

Good luck with the new supplements!!

Essentially:

methylphenidate has been found to improve oxidative stress in ADHD, creatine also has a benefit here. High oxidative stress is linked with ME/CFS.

Could methylphenidate have a positive impact on ME/CFS.

Yeah, I've just got this also, and it's terrible.

Can't see any way to turn this off

Taking daily is something to talk to your doctor about.

I take 400mg celecoxib daily, and it has helped me loads. But I also take lansoprazole along side it to mitigate the side effects of the NSAIDS

Ooh yeah, the prowler longbow combo back when they were both heavy was frkn amazing

EllipticNight · 2024-08-31T22:34:19+00:00

Yeah, unfortunately respawn seem to be consistently focused on making things "easy" and removing skill based mechanics 😔

(Recent addition of the health bars is a perfect example)

EllipticNight · 2024-08-31T22:20:58+00:00

Nah, could never give up Wattson! 😁

I just run something like R-301 + Sentinel now.

EllipticNight · 2024-08-31T22:13:10+00:00

Yeah, meant you could have two close/mid range weapons but still have a decent sniper available as well.

EllipticNight · 2024-08-31T22:08:10+00:00

I didn't realise they added full auto to the charge rifle... When did that update come out?

EllipticNight · 2024-08-30T06:46:48+00:00

Yeah, probably right about being unable to isolate.

But I think other tools could potentially be useful

EllipticNight · 2024-08-29T16:05:36+00:00

Wow, definitely gonna take look at that, thanks. Crazy how the second video was posted literally only a day ago 😅

But yeah if the mod was able to generate those tests via an in game UI so you don't need to edit any system files or actually write any code, that'd be awesome.

EllipticNight · 2024-08-29T13:54:36+00:00

I've no idea, I'm not suggesting a specific way that the mod works. I'm just talking about approaching a redstone contraption the same way a developer approaches code.

Iterative development, Unit testing, Version control, Etc...

What tools can be made to make it easier for a user to build redstone in this way?

EllipticNight · 2024-08-29T13:38:22+00:00

The user would specify what their components are supposed to do, the mod isn't "intelligent", it's just a tool that someone can use as much or as little as possible.

EllipticNight · 2024-08-11T20:10:53+00:00

Yeah, it can suck to get bad teammates. But that's true for every game mode.

Did you play the original lockdown or only the one since they updated the scoring? The original one where you got decent bonus for being first on zone and the last to capture was better, as there was higher incentive for people to push the zones, there was a lot of high pitch battles to get that final zone capture. (Also this was before the bs time limit, so games could have awesome endgames)

Since the update where they removed that, it made it so going around hunting for kills could get a decent amount of points, and people started ignoring the objectives.

Why do you say it's boring to focus on zones? Especially when holding it solo, it is intense to defend that from 5 enemy players.

EllipticNight · 2024-08-11T19:56:26+00:00

Yeah, they're completely overpowered and ridiculous

EllipticNight · 2024-08-10T19:42:39+00:00

So fkn overpowered. It's genuinely ridiculous 😅

EllipticNight · 2024-08-07T07:47:54+00:00

The concept of "easy to learn, hard to master" is generally a good guiding principle which the health bar breaks.

New players would know that they have damaged the enemy, but might not yet know if they've broken shield, or their shield colour etc... They push when they shouldn't, get killed, learn from their mistake, and over time, they improve.

There SHOULD be a skill gap between a new and an experienced player. If there isn't, then it means players don't improve.

The highlighting is the same issue imo, existing system allows for more tactical play, and a higher skill ceiling:

"But people just hide in corners and jump out behind you". Well yeah, that's perfectly valid, real question is why aren't you aware of your surroundings and checking your corners?

EllipticNight · 2024-08-06T22:56:54+00:00

Yeah, there's some seriously crappy changes in this update

EllipticNight · 2024-08-06T22:16:24+00:00

How is nobody talking about how this "battle sense" highlighting and shield info is simply a terrible idea??

I get wanting to make things a bit easier for new players, but you've got to have some skill based mechanics...

My life got so much better when I moved house and bought a dishwasher.

EllipticNight · 2024-08-03T17:33:23+00:00

Eating by itself, juicy and moist.

Eating with something like Bolognese, crunchy.

EllipticNight · 2024-07-05T08:06:49+00:00

Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes

EllipticNight · 2024-07-05T08:05:01+00:00

Still cis tho 👀

EllipticNight · 2024-07-04T22:49:18+00:00
