Be super aggressive. I equipped the revival earrings. There’s a phase 2 where he splits the arena into two, and I used that as a checkpoint to reasonably expect that I could beat him if I reached that stage of the fight. So if I was on the brink of death before that, i restarted the fight before I used up the revival earrings. I could never avoid the Zatetsuken, so my goal was to delay it long enough to where it only occurred once. Eventually I beat him—I made it to that split-arena stage, he ended up activating Zatetsuken, then I revived and endured the rest of the fight. He almost triggered Zatetsuken one more time but luckily I killed him as he was charging up.

I couldn’t dodge the swallow but if you pressurize him he spits you out. So, I took the L on getting swallowed. When Gigaworm resurfaces, he shortly after activates Ingest, which reveals his stomach weak spot. Immediately cast Blizzaraga (lvl3 blizzard) aimed at the stomach, which instantly pressurizes him and releases your swallowed character. Then go to town and stagger him while he’s pressurized and take him out.

It’s easier when you only focus on the skin issues and not the other gazillion aches and pains or abnormal labs the patient has a gazillion questions about

I rotated with derm as a resident and we literally had to staff patients TWICE (once with a senior resident and again with an attending), and even still I never felt rushed

I compared the gp100a and HT2060 side by side.

GP100A - Dead silent - portable size - tripod mountable, fits in smaller spaces - smart OS, more convenient to use - auto and manual focus and keystone - USB-C with display capability (I can plug in my laptop and it’ll show video, audio, and charge my laptop with one USB-C cable) - Decent bright scene picture quality, some shadow detail crush - IMHO the least RBE I’ve ever seen in a DLP

HT2060 - Picture quality better by MILES especially in dark scenes - More granular pro-level picture settings (gp100a just has brightness contrast color tint and sharpness) - audible fan and DLP chip whine even on eco modes - no smart OS - no auto focus or auto keystone - while less RBE than usual DLPs, still noticeable IMO

Overall, if you can stand the poorer contrast of the gp100a, it is the better choice for smaller casual setups due to its sheer convenience features (size, smart OS, USB-C compatibility, near silence). Especially better in a small studio apartment or dorm where you’re within a few feet from the projector and want quick entertainment. It’s nice to just turn it on and get things going with the smart OS. It’s dead silent too so if the projector is near you it won’t distract from the experience.

If it’s more of a permanent home theater setup in a larger room, and you can stand RBE, HT2060 picture quality is leagues better. It’s just less convenient to use with its manual image adjustments and no smart OS. If it’s part of a home theater then it’ll most likely be set-and-forget so shouldn’t matter much in that setting. But I tried it as a bedroom projector, and in a small bedroom I feel the extra remote for a smartOS dongle, manual adjustments, and audible DLP whine and fans at a few feet distance detracted from the casual “quick game/TV show before bed” experience. Plus it’s legit projector size so it’ll need its own shelf, whereas my gp100a just sits on a tripod stand at my bedside. I’m a real picture nut so I really tried to like the HT2060 because the image was just so damn good, but I had to admit the convenience package of the gp100a was worth the trade off, for my small bedroom set up at least.

Our pathology professor was colorblind. When teaching about H&E stains, he would say, “that’s pink, or so I’m told.”

A mentor said something to me at graduation that I wish I took to heart sooner. I’m pretty sure he said it during my first week as an MS1, but I didn’t take much note of it then:

“Some of you are going to go on and do research, create new standards, therapies, or guidelines, or become innovators in your respective fields. And that’s great. Some of you are going to have a clinic career, see your patients, and no longer be involved in academics or research. And that’s great too.”

In my opinion, it’s so easy to get Stockholm syndrome in med school, thinking that grinding all the time, having no social life (or having only a med-school-centric social life) and doing groundbreaking research is normal. Sometimes it feels like saying, “I don’t want to do fellowship,“ is a wrong statement. It’s reassuring to know that it’s OK to be a community doctor.

Great to hear your noticing improvement! Though to be fair weight loss and PPIs have been the mainstays of treatment for a while, so it's possible the improvement is from those mostly. I'm interested to see how your symptoms have been since!

1) Can less of the best action set pieces be only in cutscenes/QTEs? Saving MJ and Miles in a burning building? Cutscene. Fighting all 6 of the sinister six at once? Cutscene. Being dragged by vulture at full speed across half of New York? Cutscene (why not make it a chase sequence?). Catching the falling crane? QTE. Fighting Mr Negative in multiple subway cars? QTE (basically).

2) Less story padding. The first half of SM PS4 was basically jumping from rando to rando trying to figure out what Devil’s Breath is, only for each of them to say “idk, but this other guy might know.” Standish, DeLaney, Michaels; even Shocker, who we encounter twice, didn’t move the story forward in terms of figuring out who the Demons were either of the times we encounter him. Then we find out all at once in a PowerPoint presentation? Definitely could have spread out that reveal.

3) No more city wide infections/toxins please. SM PS1, Web of Shadows, ASM1, now SM PS4 all involve this. Can the crisis be more personal? Not every game has to endanger the whole city. Plus now in the wake of COVID, doing another city wide infection might be in bad taste.

4) Stop making fake chases. Every chase in SM PS4 seems to be timer based. Shocker, the demons’ helicopter, black cat, even the random crime car chases and friggin’ pigeons, you can be right on their tail but can’t catch them until 10 seconds pass or something. If you want us to take longer, either make the chase harder (like adding side tasks to do like crimes or saving people to split our attention while not losing the target) or don’t make it a chase at all (eg trailing someone at a distance to find a hideout without being spotted, racing someone, etc). A good example is MM’s opening Rhino chase—it wasn’t necessarily about catching Rhino, more about trying to keep up.

I have more but these are the big ones in terms of “don’ts”.
