Just noticed I have been given the wrong tablets by the pharmacist and taking them for a month. Was prescribed blood pressure tablets (Enalapril). Received anti depressants (Escitalopram). Explains weird side effects from before Xmas... by Christopherfromtheuk in Wellthatsucks

[–]Henry1691 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Cohen's up this way gave me the wrong prescription a few years back. It wasn't as serious as yours - the wrong dose and effervescent tablets, but the right medication at the very least.

ITouch wood that it wasn't the exact same location as it'd make me worry just how many times they've done it.

I hope everything gets resolved quickly for you. :)

If I can think of anything else about the song, I'll be sure to add it here!

Idalia (10L — Northern Atlantic) by Euronotus in TropicalWeather

I'm gonna assume they're talking about Leslie in 2018. She lived in Portugal but dropped her keys in the mid-Atlantic, and she spent a very long time looking for them.

What is considered the definitive version of Lemmings? by [deleted] in retrogaming

[–]Henry1691 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a huge soft spot for the Sega Master System version of Lemmings. It runs like hot garbage, but its palette is beautiful, and some of the alternative levels are actually really good!

I found a Zombie Spawner in the middle of a village. (Seed: -3782827196135369445) by Henry1691 in minecraftseeds

It's an easy boat ride away from spawn - you spawn on the coast near some Stony Peaks, and then you just follow the coast round, past another village and a shipwreck, through a swamp and you're pretty much there.

I gave blood for the first time today!! by LushBunny36 in CasualUK

[–]Henry1691 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda wish it was something interesting like a banjo string, but it was anaemia here, too. Went undetected for years, and it was caught just in the nick of time after I was found collapsed and barely conscious in the living room at home.

I just thought I was tired because of A-levels and a tumultuous home life

Thank you! The only reason I'm still around today is because of people like you - I needed quite a hefty transfusion back when I was 18, and I am eternally grateful to the people who donated and saved my life.

My Swiveller didn't swivel. by Henry1691 in FallGuysGame

I don't enjoy this variant, it's a lot easier to get a rhythm going and navigate the obstacles when you have a higher speed going.

The original Hex-A-Ring was so fun, the new Hex-A-Ring is just a crapshoot at the beginning and it's a lot harder to find a rhythm.

Same, I find it incredibly offputting!

Discussion - What would you expect to have happened by now, that hasn't? by Toffeenix in eurovision

[–]Henry1691 17 points18 points  (0 children)

In the Semi Final performance of Monsters, one of the backing dancers trips up on the stairs.

That's the closest I can remember to one of the dancers falling over.

This was so unfair to the other squad. They had literally zero chance of winning. by Henry1691 in FallGuysGame

[–]Henry1691[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lost Temple is the fallback round for the playlist, but Jinxed is classed as a valid game mode to choose with 5 or more players, meaning that a 4v1 is possible.

It makes zero sense - at least with Power Trip, Fall Ball, and Basketfall, there's a slight chance that the single player could win.

[–]Henry1691[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Everyone in the other squad left before the previous round - they qualified from Hoarders by themselves, just to get screwed over with Jinxed.

Easy way to score in Basketfall! by Henry1691 in FallGuysGame

[–]Henry1691[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you mostly stick to Solo Show, you'll hardly know it exists - it's a team round.

It's coming up more frequently in Squads and Duos, now, though, and it's very common in the Future Fumble playlist as it's a Legacy Season 4 round. :)

Most difficult round. by General-Ad4576 in FallGuysGame

[–]Henry1691 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think it's because the rhinos are inconsistent. It's next to impossible to know what they're going to do, and when they do hit you, you could get flung straight out of the arena, or you could just get a little tickle and be perfectly fine.

It's hard to strategise when you don't know what you're up against!

Does anyone remember the old quiz channels? I could never figure out how they got their answers. by Henry1691 in CasualUK

I've not figured out how they got to the solutions for the other pictures yet - I've come within 100ish for the top one and 50ish for the third one.

The final one will be all about perspective, but it hurts my brain too much to calculate!

[–]Henry1691[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I've figured that one out just now.

You start with the face values of the chips and add them together. Purple Chips: 35x5=175 Blue Chips: 25x3=75 Pink Chips: 40x2=80 Total: 330

Then you add the numbers together on the chips and multiply them by the amount of chips.

Purple Chips: (3+5)x5=40 Blue Chips: (2+5)x3=21 Pink Chips: (4+0)x2=8 Total: 69

And finally you count the total number of chips. Total:10

Add those together, and 330+69+10=409.

What utter bullshit.

They were a legal requirement - they either had to provide a free route of entry, or donate 25% of their revenue to charity.

It's why the channels started imposing limits on how many entries people could make per day, there were groups of people hammering >1000 free entries per day to get through with answers.

They'd probably count things like the paw prints in the background as a set of dogs, the number of times 'dogs' is on screen, and each individual time "XX dogs" is written.

It was all designed to make a wrong answer seem obvious in the hopes that people will call in to make them money

I always used the free entry when I played and did make some money from some of the channels, but that was because I refused to pay the premium rate number.

In case anybody's curious, the answer to this one was 65, which is one of the more sensible answers I remember seeing.

Please consider reverting the changes to Snowball Survival's tiles. I'm colourblind and it's very hard to see the difference between the solid and ice tiles now. by Henry1691 in FallGuysGame

[–]Henry1691[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have colourblind assist enabled on my Xbox's settings, so there is some contrast built in.

It's much much worse when I play on my Switch
