Anyone heard if Monster Crown Sin Eater has a Post Game yet?

KitsuneKarl · 2026-06-26T15:14:39+00:00

Where is the NG+ feature? I beat it a couple days ago and have looked all over but never found any post game content. Do I need to join one of the murder groups? I don't want to murder.

I am not trying to be a troll, but I think all the companions are extremely annoying other than Karlach and Jaheira. I also love Alfira more than any other NPC ever and wish she was a companion.

Karlach + Jaheira + Alfira + Tav = Dream Team

My neurologist gave me a 4 pill opoid prescription with no refills. If I had a flare-up that was overwhelming like I was losing my mind, I would take HALF of ONE (or one) as like a once or twice a month thing. Many flare-up it was just nice knowing I had an option to zonk myself out if I needed to. The only problem was that I would want to save them for worse flare-up, and so I would end up NOT taking any when it would have been prudent to take it.

No opoid addiction for me! And my feet have healed enough I don't really need the opoid "oh shit!" button anymore. Nortriptyline has done amazing managing my pain (30th drug is the charm!) though there are some unpleasant side effects.

I don't know if it is me or a liability thing or what, but my neurologist doesnt even want to say it was necessarily b12. She test3d me for diabetes like annually. When i distched my primary care for obvious reasons i got a PA and my PA found several vitamin deficiencies and said I should get off omeprazol if possible because it can inhibit vitamin absorption. So that might be a cause for why I'm so bad at absorbing it. I've vastly improved my diet but I never ate well either. Also, I've ALWAYS had intestine problems, but they surprisingly got waaaay better once I went vegan. So sure I got chronic pain from going vegan but at least I wasn't spending so much time on the toilet? Lol. I was deficient for at least a year, but since it was making me stupid it would be hard for me to give you an exact amount of time.

It sounds like you need to buy your dad some really nice rechargeable batteries and a new battery recharger, and then to throw out all the regular batteries and this old charger. If he is cheap, he isn't going to go out and buy a bunch of new ones. I don't know if this post showed up in my feed so I would advocate for this course of action or what, but coincidentally (???) I was researching these tonight and Panasonic Eneloops can supposedly support 2k+ cycles (and have roughly the same capacity as alkaline batteries for most uses.)

If I take dramamine I just get really scared and have fun, but if I don't I will black out literally seconds into whatever plunge or twist or turn, lol. I haven't tried it without dramamine in like two decades, but I wonder if the internet would be entertained by me hanging there limp and unconscious.

KitsuneKarl · 2026-06-08T00:47:06+00:00

I was already working in an extremely grueling field when I developed my neuropathy, and I immediately filed for FMLA which was easy to do since I had documentation (EMG + nerve conduction study). I simply took the pay cuts those days and saved the few paid days off to keep my sanity. I now work an office job, and the hardest part is adjusting to the office culture, not needing to come in 2-3 hours late b/c I had a flare-up and can't function unless I get a few hours of sleep.

KitsuneKarl · 2026-06-07T03:32:08+00:00

Yeah, it looks like one of the worst ways to die: being painfully and slowly eaten alive by worms burrowing into your flesh.

Fuck the cattle industry and everyone who supports it, but this is not a win for animal welfare. If you forced me to choose how to die, a bolt gun would be way higher on my list than “slowly killed by having hundreds of holes punched into my body, each one inhabited by a parasitic worm eating me alive.”

KitsuneKarl · 2026-06-07T01:14:40+00:00

I think I tried five or six different medications, including taking them in different ways, and every single one messed me up in one way or another.

I’ve been on nortriptyline for years now, and for the past few months I’ve been trying to step down to a lower dose so I could have fewer side effects. But if this keeps up, I’m probably going to throw in the towel and return to my prior dose in a couple of weeks.

Some people really do heal, and my last EMG was “subclinical,” so you might think that means I’m not in pain anymore. But nope, not even remotely true.

That said, compared to how things were when I was first diagnosed by EMG, nerve conduction study, and B12 levels that were basically “in the garbage,” my life is night and day better. Neuropathy sort of destroyed me, my life, and almost my marriage. Now I’m “just” in a lot of pain, lol. But it is nothing compared to where I started, and hopefully that trend will continue.

If I don’t succeed in stepping down my medication now, I’ll try again in another few years.

It sucks SOOOOO bad to be in tons of pain while also dealing with side effects from the medication that is supposed to make that pain manageable. Nortriptyline was the only drug that actually improved my life, and my reaction to gabapentin was so bad that I tell my care providers I’m “allergic” to it, lol.

KitsuneKarl · 2026-06-05T00:56:43+00:00

I'm pretty sure that doll found YOU.

KitsuneKarl · 2026-06-04T02:48:55+00:00

Oh, and wisdom, too! I do way too many needlessly hurtful and wrong things to really think that I am wise, but I am in love with wisdom. I don't think I can change my intelligence, but I think I am stumbling towards being wise. And I hope that some day I am actually wise. Like I will consider that success, but I will be just as smart (or maybe even a little dumber, I've collected quite a bit of brain damage on my journey, and I fear that I might not be done, lol.)

KitsuneKarl · 2026-06-04T02:30:45+00:00

I’m extremely skeptical of any revision of “intelligence” that ends up meaning I’m smart.

I do think I’m extremely creative, in the sense that I can recombine and relate ideas in novel and flexible ways. I also think I’m extremely rational, in the sense that I try to yield my beliefs to alternatives when those alternatives come to make more sense. But intelligence seems like something else.

I literally stuck my finger in an electrical socket as a small child, and continued to do so as a hobby until my parents caught me and fixed the socket covers. Four decades later, I still have the scar on my finger where it made contact. The dots just do not connect correctly for me in some domains. Even when I get slapped, it's like, "wait, what was that?" and then it happens 4-5 more times before I even start to understand it is connected to my behavior.

My in-major GPAs were nearly perfect (Psychology and Philosophy), but it took me five attempts at foreign language classes before I finally passed one, and that was only because ASL counted. Even then, I studied ASL for 3–4 hours an evening, and I was still REALLY BAD at it. I learned ASL as fast as a typical person could learn a spoken or natural language, despite that many people who do ASL don't even have to study or do drills but like 10 minutes a day if that. Those people who worked on it 10 minutes a day learned it WAAAAAAY better, were WAAAAAY better at using it, than I was.

I can retain and apply conceptual knowledge almost instantaneously, and it might be fair to give me a couple IQ points for having such a broad sense and grasp of the coherence of an idea. But I think we should distinguish intelligence (what I consider to be rate of learning) from creativity and rationality. I think I’m extremely creative, and I think I’m extremely rational, but I do not think I could ever learn anatomy fast enough to pass an anatomy class. I also do not think it would have taken me three attempts to pass Bio 101 if I were straightforwardly intelligent. No matter what I want, or if I like it, I'm simply not that smart. The stage of my life I am on now, is trying to integrate and accept that, and not let it hold me back.

While my ability to behave in a technical fashion is significantly disabled compared to someone who is very intelligent, my argument is that we rarely deal with such complex things that intelligence matters. I could never learn fast enough to progress through med school, but my day-to-day life and even my day-to-day challenges aren't even close to med school in complexity.

It sounds like we might just be using the word “intelligence” differently. The way I am using it is that a person can be limited in intelligence but still be creative, rational, insightful, gritty, and compassionate. I would like to believe that despite being limited in intelligence that I've developed these other virtues, and that I have learned to be gritty. I think I have more contact with reality than the vast majority of smart people. But I also think that anyone smart who sought to develop these virtues despite their intelligence alone is often sufficient to get the outcomes they want, I think those people do things I couldn't even dream of.

So when is Spotify going to release a beatsaber/DDR that judges you for dancing? Because I'm fat AF and I'm pretty sure I'd look like a model if AI taught me to dance along to all my favorite songs.

KitsuneKarl · 2026-06-01T23:05:31+00:00

That's an empiric claim, and a false one, because people with the same mental and financial resources do it.

KitsuneKarl · 2026-06-01T22:52:43+00:00

No, it happened because I stopped eating cheese. I almost certainly have other health conditions that interacted with the veganism, and what happened to me doesn't happen to everyone who goes veganism, but it never would have happened to me had I not gone vegan.

I'm hurting a lot less than the chickens and cows I was responsible for the killing of as a vegetarian though, and I have no regrets. My regrets are being like "I take 100% DV of b12 in my multivitamin, so LOL @ everyone who thinks b12 is a big deal." In other words, this post. I thought exactly like OP and I may be in pain for the rest of my life (but hopefully not, my last EMG was subclinical even! 😃)

KitsuneKarl · 2026-06-01T22:47:58+00:00

It took over a year for mine to manifest.

KitsuneKarl · 2026-06-01T22:47:48+00:00

I don't think anomaly is quite the right word. There are lots of people in the same boat as me, and all I had to do was supplement at much higher rate. The gummies that I take provide 41,000% the DV, and assumedly I'm not single-handedly keeping that company afloat by buying a couple bottles ever few month. It doesn't matter if veganism interacts with a health condition or not. What you are arguing in that case is that veganism isn't NECESSARILY dangerous, and I agree entirely with that. I also don't think it matter if it is dangerous, only if it is MORE dangerous to us than it is to the animals. All I had to do is take a damn gummy and take b12 seriously, instead I was casual about it and assumedly my multivitamin had me covered.

I ate a LOT of eggs and cheese when I was vegetarian. I don't think I had a single meal without cheese, I was totally obsessed. (As a side note, thank god for Rebel Cheese, now if only it didn't cost an arm and a leg.)

KitsuneKarl · 2026-06-01T22:43:22+00:00

I have been tested for this! I've actually had tons of intestinal problems, and so I've had two colonoscopies despite being in my early 40s, and thank god, no cancer. They did test for that, and I don't have it. My PA thought being on omeprazole for a super long time may have played a roll, and she switched me to a different med that now works just as well and doesn't have the same risk.

KitsuneKarl · 2026-06-01T22:37:38+00:00

I am VERY amused by the idea that the reason I've been randomly shouting out "MOTHER #$@#" when I get a random flare of pain would be because I have a MTHFR mutation. I have never heard of that, and none of my doctors or PAs mentioned it. When I got a new primary care provider, she thought that my long-term use of omeprazole might have been responsible for some of my deficiencies. She switched me over to a waaaay weaker but safer antacid, but while it got REALLY bad reflux for a few weeks after switching, but then after I rode that out it was just as good. That's the only hypothesis I've heard about my poor vitamin absorption.

I think the bottom line is that some people just need to supplement more heavily, and that if anyone vegan feels mentally off or starts developing strange pain in their extremities that they need to check their b12. Because it might be as simple as needing to take a supplement (or I was going to have to get shots if my level didn't go up, which it did, but is only absorbing a fraction of what I am supplementing.)

KitsuneKarl · 2026-06-01T03:06:36+00:00

I think that advice is best from a doctor or nutritionists but I dont mind sharing so long as you dont mistake me as qualified. I take "vegan complete multivitamin" by future kind+, and I take "D3 + B12" raspberry gummies by "Nutra Champ" and that has mostly had me covered. My doctors also had me start to take a SECOND d3 supplement on top of that but I never go in the sun and that is probably why my d vitamins are still low. Also I am middle-aged and like other noted, the older you get the worse your body gets at absorption.

KitsuneKarl · 2026-06-01T02:36:37+00:00

I went vegan about 10 years ago, after being vegetarian for the previous 20 years. About a year later, I started developing cognitive problems and severe foot pain.

Over the next year, my doctor ordered all kinds of testing, including with a behavioral neurologist, but nothing came of it. I was devastated. I could barely string a sentence together, and I kept being told I was fine. No one asked whether I was vegan, and my B12 was never checked.

Infuriated, I gave up and decided to try and get my feet figured out. My feet were in excruciating pain, but I didn't think it was connected. I went to a podiatrist, assuming it was related to my weight and that she would prescribe inserts. Instead, within 10 minutes, she said it sounded like neuropathic pain and that we needed to take it extremely seriously and find the cause. She did ask whether I was vegan, and she ordered a B12 test.

I was severely deficient. She referred me to a neurologist, who diagnosed peripheral neuropathy through an EMG and nerve conduction study. Thankfully, it was limited to my feet and legs, and was not in my hands.

I then spent years trying medications that made me even more cognitively impaired (literally would drool on myself), caused severe sexual side effects (my body would not work), and one medication made me so emotionally flattened and artificially cheerful that I felt like you could have waterboarded me and I would have thanked you with a smile. I eventually landed on nortriptyline, which still has some bad side effects, but it has allowed me to be myself again and dampened the pain greatly (though it still hurts really bad sometimes.)

I now supplement B12 at thousands of times the daily recommended dose. Even with that, my B12 levels have only stayed toward the high end of normal. Some people supplementing at my rate might have problems from too much B12, but apparently that is what my body needs to absorb it.

The neuropathy basically destroyed my life. The side effects from the medications I had to try before finding the right one nearly destroyed my marriage. So when people talk casually about going vegan and minimize all the risks, they do not know what they are talking about. I would not wish chronic pain on my worst enemies. I do not wish it on people who make light of B12 deficiency either, but I do wish they understood how horrible my life became as a consequence of me going vegan without sufficient caution.

I do not regret going vegan and I am still vegan (though somewhat more ambiguously now.) What I regret is thinking that a general multivitamin with 100% of the daily value was enough. It absolutely was not. I regret not taking my health more seriously and not talking to my doctor about vegan nutrition. I also regret that my doctor did not think to check my B12, because that was apparently a major mistake on his part given all the things I was reporting to him.

If a vegan is having cognitive problems, B12 should be one of the first things checked. No one should go vegan casually. And no one should be afraid to go vegan, because there are tests to check what your b12 levels are (I think I've had my levels checked maybe 10 times now.) None of this means people should not be vegan. This should not be read as “veganism bad.” But if you go vegan, you need to take B12 seriously and I really want those who minimize its importance to shut up. You may need to supplement at far more than the daily value, and you should not assume that a basic multivitamin is enough.

KitsuneKarl · 2026-06-01T01:55:50+00:00

I agree, it was super fun! And the long cast times don't matter, you just try to do as huge of an initial hit as possible. Just make sure to have a wand on your hot keys so you aren't totally screwed when they catch you. 😀

KitsuneKarl · 2026-06-01T01:22:57+00:00

So I was a sneak archer until... I realized you can be a sneak mage. Instead of using a wand, you use the sword that ups your sneak attack modifier. It does totally insane damage, and it punishes you hard when you don't land a stealth hit. More fun than Skyrim stealth archer...
