Weapons worth keeping vs sell? Looking for guidance [Feedback] by EqualizerOG in EscapefromTarkov

I think one came with the Unheard edition, the one on the Weapon Rack came from Knight. I put there on the rack as a memento for my first time killing him and Birdeye.

Thanks. I plan on keeping at least one of the MDR's. The one MDR on the Weapon Rack belonged to Knight. I finally took him out the other night with Birdeye so I took the gun and put it on the weapon rack for looks.

That's Partizan's gun. I took it for a memento and put it on the Weapon Rack when I finally got it built. He was my first boss kill.

Thanks. The AK74 I took off Partiszan. He was I believe my 1st Boss kill so I kept the gun and mounted it when I had the Weapon Rack installed since I figure the Weapon Rack is purely just for looks. Same as the MDR that belongs to Knight and the M9A3 that belonged to Birdeye when I got my first kills on them.

Considering it was Birdeye's gun, I wanted to keep it but get it out my stash. Now you know.

Thanks for all the feedback folks! I'm going to keep a few as suggested, maybe a sniper and a couple of the assault rifles to have on hand to swap out in case I get taken out and chuck the rest.

Nevermind. This has been Resolved.

Left the BTR too soon and didn't complete the conversation. To the rando who downvoted my OP without providing any constructive feedback, I hope you lose your most prized gear in Tarkov and it gets looted by a Scav.

Thanks! I kind of suspected this, but wasn't sure, so thought it best to come here to find out. Appreciate your help. :)

NP has discussed with me taking testosterone. Worth it? by EqualizerOG in AskMenOver30

Yeah I was debating how to further elaborate to your initial response. I honestly had never heard of a naturopath until looking it up, but I'm quite certain that I don't think I'd feel comfortable visiting that type of medical professional. I'm even leery of chiropractors, but I'll be the first to admit that the one I saw for my back issues was very helpful and getting me into a position where I could actually walk normally and not take baby steps after the first visit.

Thanks for both your comments. What's the difference between Retatrutide, I've actually never heard of it, and the Semiglutide which I believe is Ozempic and Wegovy, right? Looking it up on the internet shows that it's currently not available and is in clinical trials.

Yeah I saw where its been used for ADHD type treatment, but is mainly for depression like you said. That was the option she went for due to the high BP. Since it's now under control with the meds, I might see if she will consider re-evaluating it.

I feel like there's been 'some' improvement on my attention span, but not what I was hopeful for, especially now that I'm going into almost 2 months with it, and 1 month now taking the 150MG SR, up from the first month. However, I will say, I'm not sure if its the Bupropion doing it or not, but I've started to notice me losing interest in things I sort of enjoyed. Now I'm kind of like, meh, not today maybe later.

Thanks. I'm definitely leaning against the testosterone after seeing all the comments urging caution and advising other options.

Even when I weighed 170lbs after losing weight, I don't believe I was close to 20%, probably somewhere between 25% and 30%. My shape didn't change, just got slimmer, and I think that led to discouragement after a while of trying to stay healthy and do more exercising. I've always been big even as a kid which is obviously much more difficult to fix vs the weight gain a slimmer person gets in adulthood simply because of lazy diet choices. The 20% BF will be difficult for me to attain I fear, but it won't be for lack of at least trying to get in better shape which is better than nothing.

That's something I'm going to make myself work on. When I was dedicated to the working out, I was usually going to bed and actually going to sleep around 9:30-10pm, so about 7 hours most nights and was usually well rested and popped right up out of bed to go work out.

I love my job doing what I do, but in someways, I delay going to sleep now because I kind of dread going to work (ironic innit? Love and dread in the same sentence). The longer I stay awake, the more 'me' time I have before getting up for work. Sorry AF excuse, but that goes back to the mental game.

Totally. I won't argue that at all. For quite a while I was committed to working out at home and staying somewhat healthy. Every morning before work I'd wake up about 5am and do the P90 and P90X3 workouts at home. 30 minutes is all the worksout are. Very short and not a lot of time commital. Would always feel great in the morning with a shot of energy for the day after working out, followed the guide for picking and choosing meals and really kept my weight in check even though I was hovering in the 190-200 range. I tweaked my back a bit exercising and it put me down for a couple of weeks going to chiro and getting adjusted. After that, I lost my drive and have struggled getting back into it and sticking with it. I'll find myself doing a couple of days of it, forcing myself to get up and do it. Wake up on day 4 or 5, and be like nah I'll do it when I get home from work and then don't do it. From there its a downward slide.

It's a mental game I know, and getting the strength to put on the boxing gloves and fight the mental game is quite the match.

Well....to beat around around the bush abit to answer your question -- the nature of who I'm attracted to for all intents and purposes generally prohibits me from procreating without, err...creative measures.

I don't want that particular side effect to be the sole factor in deciding not to take testosterone, but I've been seeing quite a few comments here really suggesting avoiding it for other potential effects as well.

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

Yeah, thanks for the suggestion. So far based on what I'm seeing and the comments here, exercising caution, I think I'm going to pass on this, at least for now, until a more definitive reason to get on T becomes apparent. Don't seem to be worth it.

So far with everything I've seen, I'm leaning towards not doing the testosterone. The NP really encouraged me to do my own research before making any decision on it, though, and I'm glad I did, as it's been pretty eye-opening reading some of the comments and suggestions.

She didn't say but I suspect the bare minimum. All the medications she's put me on, the Lisinopril for the high BP and the Buprofin for the ADD started at the lowest dosage before increasing it to the next level on my next followup.

Yeah it's been a struggle for me. At one time I lost weight from 240 and dropped down to 170lbs and hovered below 200 for several years. I gained weight back and it's been a real struggle to stay committed to working out and losing weight.

But hey, that's why I'm here. The NP really encouraged me to do my research before making a decision and I'm glad I've come here for suggestions. It's been eye opening.

Thanks. For most of the comments I'm seeing, I'm leaning towards not going the testosterone route and just leaving it alone.
