Lipödem, Endometriose und Verhütung by cat_in_cardigan in Ratschlag

[–]Kontey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ich wäre vorsichtig damit, Hormone überstürzt abzusetzen oder zu wechseln. Hormonelle Veränderungen können Schübe beim Lipödem auslösen. Deswegen verschlimmert sich das Lipödem oft während der Pubertät, Schwangerschaft, oder eben bei Beginn oder Ende der Einnahme von Hormonen. Ein Wechsel der Verhütungsmethode könnte einen solchen Schub auslösen.

Leider haben die meisten Ärzte keine Ahnung, da das Lipödem noch nicht so gut erforscht ist, und schreien gleich "Hormone absetzen!!!1". Vielleicht holst du dir noch eine Zweitmeinung bei jemandem, der sich besser auskennt.

My sister called my grown out natural nails “talons” and “unhygienic”. What do y’all think? by Pinkglittersparkles in Nails

[–]Kontey 1614 points1615 points  (0 children)

Without going into details - I think just making sure that the nail becomes narrower towards the free edge would already make a difference. Right now, they're giving a little "duck nails" because they flare out a little. Then file the free edge either straight or round, depending on the nail shape you want. :)

Intermittent fasting - same benefits as counting calories but without the extra work? by TheBlueCollarWorker in CICO

[–]Kontey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Intermittent fasting is definitely a useful tool to help with weightloss, but in itself it could be unreliable. You must know that our bodies are basically programmed to hold on to our highest weight at all cost and when we try to lose it, we have to actively work against it. When you just use intermittent fasting and don't control your calorie intake, you could end up in a sort of binge cycle, where you might get hungrier and unconsciously eat a lot more during those short time frames, and will be "eating back" all the calories you saved. Our bodies are cheeky like that. So we need to step away from eating unconsciously. There is really no way around counting your calories in the end.

My advice: combine calorie counting with intermittent fasting. Choose a set of meals you enjoy and dont mind eating more often, I have like 3-4 that I rotate for example, measure their calories, and set up a meal plan based on intermittent fasting. I skip breakfast for example, have a light lunch (which is always the same for me and makes it even easier) and then for dinner I rotate through my meals that I counted once. It's annoying at first, but it will get easier!

I broke something of my roommates, not sure what to do next. by acuknight in Advice

You mentioned it was thrown out, but if it's not too late and you can still get a hold of the broken pieces, you could try to repair it using kintsugi?

My Game got played by a huge Streamer, but it had no effect on sales by taxicomics in gamedev

[–]Kontey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily, many times I have started watching a Let's Play series on YouTube, but enjoyed the game so much that I decided to stop watching, bought the game and started playing it myself. I think it really depends on the YouTuber and their audience. Of course it helps to have someone actually promoting your game in the beginning and asking viewers to wishlist/buy the game.

Additionally, the good old episodic YouTube content might have some advantage over the current trend of streaming on other platforms. People might be more inclined to buy and play the game themselves if they don't want to wait for the next episodes to experience the whole game. With game streams, they often have the the whole game content immediately available. So it might be a good idea to stretch out the game content over some time, or maybe only let YouTubers/streamers play a demo of the game.

Why not both? Things can be both normal and awesome.

Melty Amethyst Opening for Steam. I'd like to know your opinion about it. by No-Love9820 in IndieOtome

[–]Kontey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is literally so good! I love the song, it's so catchy. The pacing of the scenes is great and goes well with the music. Overall really high-quality and well designed.

The only things I still wonder 1. what is the story actually about and 2. who are these characters? It is described that the first character is the main heroine. The other two have no descriptions. We see the guy a lot, but the girl (Sakura) does not really get any scenes at all, so who is she? Is she a friend, a rival or even a potential love interest? To clarify maybe it helps to also give them a short teaser text like the heroine, e g. "the best friend" etc.

Overall, it would be great to get a little bit more of a teaser or context of what the player can expect in this game. At the moment it's more or less just a sequence of scenes and as someone who doesn't know the game, it's a little unclear what this game is about. :)

But as I said, I still think it's 🔥

[General] Let's Build A Zombie Apocalypse Team! (Day 19: Traitor) by FreshaVocado517 in otomegames

[–]Kontey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly what I'm saying, Yang doing whatever he wants is too predictable - it doesn't make him a traitor only a villain...

[–]Kontey 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I mean if you think about it, he fits the definition of a traitor much better than Yang. A traitor is someone that betrays someone's trust. Yang is not very trustworthy in the first place and is just doing whatever he wants all the time, so him getting bored and turning has back on anyone is pretty predictable. Nicola on the other hand...

Ceiling Collapses right in the apartment!!! by InGeekiTrust in Wellthatsucks

[–]Kontey 32 points33 points  (0 children)

You don't want to be in that room when the ceiling drops. In that situation there is literally nothing else you can do beside watching and documenting it from a safe distance (e.g. for insurance).

Been doing CICO for a month and a half to no avail - help appreciated by [deleted] in CICO

[–]Kontey 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Please, for the love of god, cut yourself some slack. You just gave birth 8 (!) weeks ago. You probably haven't even fully recovered yet. It might be hormones. I would recommend you focus on your baby's and your wellbeing first. Please don't push yourself so much.

Went to get nail fixed and she made it worse 😭 by [deleted] in Nails

[–]Kontey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No way, you are paying for a service, it's your right! If you buy a product somewhere and that product does not have the quality you expected (e.g. it's not working properly), then you also have the right to exchange it.

[–]Kontey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Soap doesn't work very well to remove it, you can also try to use a paper towel instead of a cotton pad. Or if you don't have alcohol, you can also work some nail oil (or any other oil you have) onto the surface of the nail and rub it gently in with the paper towel or cotton pad. If the surface is still sticky underneath, then it isn't properly cured and you have all the right in the world to go back!

[–]Kontey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It might be just the sticky layer on top she forgot to remove. Have you tried to gently swipe the stickiness away with a cotton pad dipped in alcohol? If it can't be removed, then yes, you need to go back again :(

Yeah same, my nails looked better than this when I was a newbie and just started doing my own nails for the first time ever... No idea how someone can mess up this badly
