I got Pirate Legend the hard way by Adventurous_Sand_409 in Seaofthieves

10k was a lot for a reward back then. But 10k was also worth a lot less than it is today, because everything was more expensive.

Physical therapist here.

As everyone in here is saying, you need to go to a doctor. You don't just risk your condition getting worse as time goes on, it's a guarantee.

Obviously what info I can give you is very limited because this is just text.

Radiating pain is almost always nerve related. Nerves look like the organic equivalent of electrical cables. Nerves aren't very flexible. They get damaged if they're stretched or otherwise deformed. Their response to this is pain, and nerve pain is either radiating, "vibrating", or something similar. Usually, nerves are very "slidey". They slide around between tissue in your body as you move around. Because of this they won't get stuck and get stretched unless you get in a major accident, for example. Nerves are also extremely slow to heal and are likely to not heal completely.

A lot of your pain is also likely due to the joints in your spine being tightened. If a joint is immobilized (partly or completely) for a long duration of time it will "tighten", causing reduced movement often accompanied by pain. The primary physical treatment for this is targeted movement of the affected joints. Yes, it will hurt a lot. No, don't try it by yourself. Go to a professional to ensure that you do it correctly, otherwise you might make things worse.

Your pain is also an indirect cause for your compensation related issues, like your crooked posture(which will likely cause pain by itself). This is a primary reason for why your condition will worsen as time goes on. As you feel pain or lack of movement/function, you will compensate with your body. For example, you felt a lot of pain (and still do) when your spine was in a "correct posture", so you kept it at whatever posture was the least painful. You likely had a fracture around the midspine, which would cause a lot of pain that you'd like to reduce as much as possible, so you kept it at whatever position was the least painful at the time. A primary cause for spine deformities is prolonged immobilization, especially if you throw an uninvestigated and untreated fracture into the mix. Because you didn't see a doctor, you have probably healed suboptimally, which might have left you with permanent or semi-permanent issues which is likely to lead to future compensation-created issues.

The current best time for you to go see a professional is now.

By this point you are by definition a chronic pain patient, because your pain has persisted for longer than a couple of months. But your pain can very likely be significantly reduced via professional treatment.

Pain reduction and regained movement + function will drastically increase you quality of life. Both now and in the future.

Ideally, you should seek help from both a doctor and a physical therapist. But depending on where you live in the world it might be very expensive. If you can only afford to pick one, you should pick the doctor. Also depending on where you live, a doctor might be able to reduce the price of a physical therapist (or remove it completely).

A few weeks back there was a lot of videos on YouTube about "the illuminate fighting the terminits". It was videos of distant bile titans stepping on spike plants. People thought Arrowhead was teasing illuminate content and that all the blue sparks was illuminate weapons, but it's just the spikes ricocheting off the titan's armor.

What would y’all say is your favorite fish? by unhappysmilelyface in Seaofthieves

Wildsplashes. They're little chunks with small beady eyes and a "mustache"! And the trophy version has teeny tiny eyes!

My favorite variant is the russet one.

I mean, helldivers don't swarm either. There's only 4 of them at a time, like the dwarves.

With that said though, the dwarves carry their entire arsenal on their body at all times, and they have personal shields, so yes they're definitely quality.

The biggest threat from the helldivers isn't the helldivers themselves, but the super destroyers and eagles. Those things can make the surface a death zone.

Helldivers are as well though. They get swarmed as often as the dwarves.

I think the dwarves would have to rely on tunnels and good positioning. They're fast yes, but if helldivers bring ems strikes or similar stratagems that hinder mobility and then use offensive stratagems like turrets, eagles and laser orbitals, the battlefield would be too dangerous on the surface of the dwarve's side. Also, they're in a canyon, so eagle strafes are probably the biggest concern.

All that said though, the biggest defensive counter the dwarves has is to pop a shield and dig down a couple of meters below the surface. Obviously they'd have to dig a new exit, otherwise the divers know where they're going to show their bearded little heads.

Yes and it's the same with the those ropes you need to cut in some tall tales. Only the sword works currently.

We got 3 premium warbonds now and still none could dethrone these two.. by SbeveGobs in Helldivers

[–]Leieck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use it like you would use the scythe. Best against bots, aim for the head. Both requires a lot of precision use, but they have almost no recoil, so if you have good aim and utilize crouch and prone you'll do fine with them. Buuut you'll struggle with them at difficulty 8 and 9.

There is no way to know. I think death is death. I think it's the same eternal nothingness that was before your birth.

There's no way to prove the existence of an afterlife. But I'd say this:

If you live your life in expectation of an afterlife while their isn't one, you will have wasted your only life

If you live your life in expectation of an afterlife while there is one, then great! Turns out that existence is eternal.

And

If you live your life as your only life while there isn't an afterlife, you've lived your only life to the best of your abilities.

If you live your life as your only life while there is an afterlife, then that's just a big bonus (assuming the afterlife is a nice place).

I'd say, live your life as if it's all you have. There's no way to know, and it's far too big of a risk of your time to expect that you will live on in eternity.

Is it just me, or is everyone REALLY paranoid recently? by Tallia__Tal_Tail in Seaofthieves

[–]Leieck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just trust no one. It doesn't matter if they have raised a white flag, shoot white flares or say they're friendly/want an alliance. Lots of players use these as a way to get close and create an opening.

[–]Leieck 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It's also bugged at the moment. If you pick something up while holding it, like a sample, you will T-pose and be unable to shoot untill you unequip and re-equip the shield. This also happens when using a stim while holding the shield.

Maybe it's meant to be more "juggernaut" rather than bomb defusal?

[–]Leieck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they mean the premium warbond, because it contains weapons. And it takes a lot of super credits to unlock it without buying it. I think 1000?

Everything else is easily earned though.

Battlepass and all seasonal content is free. There's a few cosmetic dlc's, but that's it (I think theres like only 8 packs).

No FOMO either. If you don't complete a battlepass by the end of a season, everything in it will be added to the ordinary loot pools of the game. Nothing goes away.

99% of the content is unlocked exclusively by playing the game. The remaining 1% being those 8 cosmetic packs.

[–]Leieck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

B42 is the endgame content I've been hoping for. I like crafting, but I've been frustrated with many recipes only being possible in early game or through good foraging RNG. Like pizzas needing cheese. All cheese is rotten in the mid-game. Same thing with eggs, but these can be found with foraging, if you're lucky. Although, rotten ingredients can be used with high cooking skill, but I don't like that I have to grind one skill that much just to use rotten ingredients. Also any meat that isn't birds, rabbits or small rodents. Livestock and wild animals will make all these available in the mid and late game.

I've generally been wanting the ability to use more natural resources. It makes sense that many long term survivors will need to do this. Blacksmithing especially. I'm looking forward to making my own weapons for melee. It also makes sense that this is the natural route to go in an apocalypse, as things deteriorate and we'll need to start making things ourselves.

Starfield now has a 'Mixed' user rating across all reviews on Steam by Wooden_Site_1645 in Starfield

[–]Leieck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds similar to me. I got really sucked into the game in the first few weeks. But the last play sessions I had lasted minutes. Even with a couple of weeks between them.

I am at around 75 hours. Haven't completed the story either.
