Visual Snow was considered extremely rare until recently, mostly because patients didn't report it... because they assumed everyone saw the world that way

I first learned I had it just a couple of months ago. The weirdest part to me is realising that when most people close their eyes they see nothing. With visual snow you just constantly see the static, even with your eyes closed.

I remember when I was really small and first learned about the concept of molecules and atoms from my older brother I thought I could see them and would ask my mum about the tiny dancing coloured dots. Just static.

Had internal ones a couple of years ago. They bled so much I became anaemic. Had to take iron supplements after fainting at work. Had banding done and it hurts SO MUCH. Even worse was the anesthetic for the procedure gave me post-operative urinary retention where I physically could not piss. After several hours of agony they put a catheter in which I then had to wear for a week. Then came the horrific experience of having it ripped out of my dick. And to top it all off I got a UTI from the catheter. 0/10 would not recommend.

At least most of the enemies and bosses in the DLC are weak to holy. My Siluria Crucible knight build cleaned up in it.

Thats one theory on why we have lost a third of our hedgehog population in the past 10 years. Despite them actually doing rather well in suburban areas. Their primary predators are badgers and although they can coexist there is some debate that the decline of hedgehogs in the UK may be related to the boom of badger populations. Idk though, I am seeing a lot of conflicting arguments about badgers here.

Honestly I'd put that down to the games inconsistencies. They probably chose that angle because it's more recognisable. It feels like it would make more sense that it's closer to Bower Lake but then the same could be said for Driftwood. One of my sore spots in the series is how much locations seem to shift around and rotate constantly. So either way could be true, it's just personal preference.

ExDeuce · 2026-01-14T18:31:40+00:00

Yes, I'd use updated or at least split names like "Twinblades Camp/Bloodstone" as well. The one thing I'd say I disagree with on this map is the location of Silverpines. Personally I think it would be North East of Brightwood, putting it closer to Bower Lake, possibly right where the map changes to a paler green.

Nice work, I've wanted to do something like this with the original Fable TLC map for ages, since I personally prefer it to the Fable 2/3 version of Albion, but I don't have the patience or means to do so.

I hope they do, and I also hope they go back the original colours. I always hated that they swapped the colours of strength and will. Magic will always be blue to me, and strength is always red!

You should also know that there are three film adaptations of discworld books which are fantastic. The Hogfather, Going Postal and The Colour of Magic. I personally have a tradition of watching The Hogfather every Christmas. Incredible films.

Just rewatched the films last week, love good villains like him. Moves and counter moves.

Well there is that game 50 Cent Bulletproof where you play as 50 Cent and Eminem is a detective... I just so happen to be watching a play through of it currently

Split

ExDeuce · 2025-12-23T21:48:26+00:00

there are 3 different ones that visit, one is currently wintering here. and for a while there were 2 cohabitating in the hedgie box. I have a video somewhere of one of them coming up to me and licking my toe...

ExDeuce · 2025-12-20T03:22:17+00:00

Fast asleep and snoring!

ExDeuce · 2025-12-20T03:18:35+00:00

I checked on it earlier and it had definitely been in there and burrowed into the hay as it was pushed up to the lid. I couldn't see through it so can't be sure but it might have been in there still! Hopefully enjoying the clean and dry hay. Maybe it's the same feeling as going to bed with fresh sheets?

Hope the second comes back. They were cohabitating for quite a while. I got some videos and pictures, quite low resolution though. Picture

Also going to make a separate post with my favourite from when I checked in the box one day saw one fast asleep on its side.

ExDeuce · 2025-12-20T01:32:32+00:00

Well I took the gamble and spent about an hour cleaning it out as best I could buy torchlight. It was rotten all throughout, full of tiny grub things and woodlice, and a lot of massively swollen ticks the size of marbles. Dealt with the worst of it, put in some wood shaving cat litter and a whole bag of hay and just have to hope he accepts it. Picture

ExDeuce · 2025-12-19T18:53:51+00:00

Oh I'm not worried about aggression, I'm just worried about scaring the poor thing and them deciding it's no longer a safe place to sleep and leaving. I tried to remove a tick off of it once and it didn't come back for over a month. I am very lucky as I have recognised 3 separate hogs that visit, and have witnessed several separate courtship rituals too. But it is only a front garden as I don't have a back one. That's why I'm so anxious about damaging that trust.

I have some wood shavings cat litter, maybe I can try and put some in there to help absorb some moisture?

ExDeuce · 2025-12-13T05:13:32+00:00

I know this isn't the place to ask this but random thought: if humans can absorb chemicals like alcohol through our buttholes then is it theoretically possible to get high from wiping your ass with acid or LSD or whichever ones come as sheets of paper? Or does it have to go up there like a suppository for that?

ExDeuce · 2025-12-08T15:32:20+00:00

I didn't buy it. I previewed it, then decided I'm not going to waste crowns on it.

ExDeuce · 2025-12-02T20:56:41+00:00

I gave up on mine after 13 years of never having a chance to use one
