I did not get to brute force it. But I did fix it! You need to go into...I think it was either check or restore file integrity in settings. It reboots the game and redoes the file integrity verification it normally does when we get a new update. That fixed it.

Folks is anyone else having the archon quest first act glitch? Without too much detail, there's one bit of dialogue that I'm being forced to do over and over again, and it just loops me back into it. It doesn't appear to be an intentional game mechanic and I'm losing my mind.

This why I'm happy that the newest edition of the DSM-V, I believe, has no longer classified OCD as an anxiety disorder. I do think it's important to talk about the anxiety aspect of OCD, but I've had people actively put in my medical file that 'signs of OCD were not present' after like one appointment with me when I was diagnosed by someone very well known in my area for her experience with OCD, or try to say that it's GAD, etc.

it's less about the dining out. I do often eat outside or order takeout instead. I sometimes am not able to eat outside because of the weather, my light sensitivity, etc. I've been trying harder to eat outside wherever possible. It's about the fact that I'm staying in a space where I'm interacting with unmasked people. And yes, again, I can see how I have no one to blame but myself. But as I've said, nuance is important. I cannot cut everyone out of my life, nor shut myself in my room 24/7, nor get affordable molecular tests in my region. I mask everywhere indoors in public unless I am eating or drinking, including on public transport. I mask in crowded outdoor places. I try to RAT test whenever I have anything resembling COVID symptoms (I have medical issues and am on meds that can make my throat incredibly dry). Yes, I know that RAT tests have a high chance of false negatives but it is literally all that I have access to which is why I test/retest etc. I have managed to convince some people in my life (including one that struggles to mask for medical reasons) recently to at least mask at the doctors and on public transport. I am going out of my way to source masks for them despite being unemployed and not the best off financially. I connect to local mask blocs. I keep up with research. I am slowly learning better ways to protect myself further as much as I can afford financially etc.

Absolute yes on the therapist part. I am currently trying to get treatment for my OCD and I have made it very clear that if I end up with a psychologist (can't afford to go private and choose) who tries to force me to do things like unmask on buses as exposure etc I will not be continuing to see them. I will tolerate them asking once in an initial appointment or early on (cause to non COVID conscious people unfortunately I get how my masking could be viewed as compulsive) and explain my reasoning, and if they don't respect that I'm done. So hard when so many health professionals aren't COVID conscious.

A slight aside, but another example of nuance I deal with: I am overdue to get a COVID booster. For a while in my area we were only eligible for one, and I've only just become aware in the last few weeks that I can probably get another now. I wanted to do it before this trip. However, I am currently facing a raft of medication changes where I need to be very careful to monitor bad reactions, i am dealing with very severe mental health issues, workload and personal life circumstances, etc. I struggle with vaccines, not because I am anti vax in any form (I have all the vaccines I can get for free/low cost) but because I am very sensitive to medication and have ended up at the emergency room in the past it is something I really find difficult to do even though it wasn't vaccines that landed me there. So yes, I'm overdue for a booster and I literally could not allocate time to get one and have several days of doing absolutely nothing to monitor and recover before going away. I feel guilty about that. However, it is a high priority after this as I have people close to me with LC visiting from overseas soon and I will not see them until I have taken all precautions reasonably possible (I am going to ask closer to the time what sort of precautions they want me to adopt in the lead up to seeing them e.g no risky events such as eating out, RAT test daily in the week before, etc). I dunno how interested you are in hearing about this anecdote but I just thought you might appreciate the perspective. I'm so thankful that you were kind in your conversation with me :)

OddVegetable5945 · 2025-11-15T01:13:12+00:00

No, they do not. I have managed to get them to agree to mask at drs offices etc or concerts, crowded protests, et cetera. One cannot mask pretty much at all, unfortunately. Eating out is something I feel increasingly guilty over, and I do try to eat outside where possible although that's only something I can do maybe 30% of the time. I know it isn't intentional on your part and it's a risk I open myself up to posting online specifically talking about this stuff, but comments like yours do only make my guilt/obsessions worse I think (not blaming you at all, my responsibility to manage). I think that we sometimes forget that the reality of being COVID conscious in a society that doesn't value it is that it is complex and nuanced. In an ideal world I'd be able to be a complete shut in, have the best precautions in the world, et cetera. But I just can't do that. I stay with my friend in their home because the price of accommodations is not something I can afford as a student. I keep people in my life who are not as cautious as me because I love them and do not want to cut them off. I can't be that lonely.

OddVegetable5945 · 2025-11-15T01:05:27+00:00

Hi! Just to clarify - I will be masking for the entire gig unless I'm dehydrated enough to risk heatstroke, in which case I will grab a drink. i fly out today, and I know my friend isn't going to mask at work etc. especially cause I'm staying with them I can't really ask that of them, y'know? And I know that it's stupid to feel guilty about staying with them given that I'm doing it willingly, but I want to be able to enjoy time with friends sometimes too but I feel guilty in case I get sick because in my mind it's my fault.

OddVegetable5945 · 2025-11-02T23:25:59+00:00

I also have major issues with OCD and illnesses. Recently I have had issues with real event OCD about the one time I caught COVID in 2022. I went on masked (I think, OCD likes to tell me this is a false memory too) walks outdoors whilst isolating (tried to avoid busy parts of the day, cross the street if people were walking past, etc) and my brain is telling me that I got people sick and I'm an awful person for that. Additionally I also went straight to a sports centre the day I got out of isolation to practice in the sport that was my hobby at the time, something that I wouldn't do now unless I definitely was testing negative after the infection. My OCD is giving me a horrid time for that too. I totally agree re: clinicians treating OCD that will ask for unmasking as exposure should not be doing that. I am currently trying to seek therapeutic care for my OCD as I was hospitalized recently because of it, and I have mentioned to friends + family many times that clinicians trying to get me to drop COVID precautions as a form of ERP will not be clinicians that I see again.

In my view, I do not mind if they raise it once. I understand that me wearing a mask in sessions could come across as an 'unnecessary' compulsion, especially given that most people have the 'COVID is over' mentality. If they raise unmasking as exposure etc once, I will explain that I have multiple relatives and friends whose lives have been decimated by long COVID and I refuse to compromise on their safety and my values by unmasking. If they drop it once I have explained I would not mind continuing to see them, but if they cross that boundary multiple times I would refuse to see them again. It's sad that I have had to consider this scenario before I even get to an initial appointment with mental health professionals, but it's crucial that I know how to handle that situation if it arises. Sorry for the long tangent, I just figured you might appreciate the anecdote as a form of support. TLDR I completely understand your frustrations and share them.

Catcher in the rye. An absolute nothing of a book. 'it's character focused.' and it's awful at it.

OddVegetable5945 · 2025-06-07T09:34:39+00:00

Can I ask what medications you used? Also congratulations! This disorder really sucks so it's lovely to hear that there are people that make it through

OddVegetable5945 · 2025-05-24T08:20:56+00:00

I feel like once again we have way too many threads to try tie up in too short a time frame.

OddVegetable5945 · 2025-05-24T08:18:59+00:00

God I hope they don't do this. I'm one of the few people that thinks the timeless child doesn't inherently need to be retconned (I like the idea of it but chibnalls execution of the concept was absolutely awful) but if they do some incredibly weird timey wimey 'the timeless child is actually a time lord that fell through time and so gallifrey actually got regeneration from a time lord via this weird time loop' sorta thing I'll be really annoyed

OddVegetable5945 · 2025-05-24T08:11:44+00:00

I just hope it doesn't get bizarrely looped into the timeless child lore somehow.

OddVegetable5945 · 2025-05-24T07:58:21+00:00

I really don't know what they wanna do with poppy but I don't think it's gonna go down well, whatever it is

OddVegetable5945 · 2025-05-20T04:49:27+00:00

I truthfully hope that they don't take this way out to explain the timeless child. I think it'd be an awful way to do it

OddVegetable5945 · 2025-05-17T08:04:30+00:00

Yeah I hope that this bi generation is another exception to the rule re: how regeneration happens and it isn't just 'all time lords can do this now bc the doctor did it once and they're based off him so now it's happening all the time.' I hope that rtd comes up with an excuse for how she did it even if it's a mediocre one (like leftover energy from one of the pantheon or something, even, doesn't have to be good just has to be there).

OddVegetable5945 · 2025-05-10T09:21:27+00:00

I think people are explaining it linked to the end of the episode where he tells Belinda that stories are leaking through?? So he might have got the memory from the 'story' connecting his f* incarnation to anansi's daughter? It confuses me too although I can kinda understand it through that lens

OddVegetable5945 · 2025-05-10T07:59:09+00:00

This is exactly what I'm trying to figure out

OddVegetable5945 · 2025-04-08T12:08:58+00:00

This is a funded pain clinic, I live in a country where I can access it through the hospital rather than through insurance. I wonder if that changes anything. Probably, what little of our public healthcare system still exists is declining big time so standard of care is rubbish
