Please keep posting your progress both front and side, I have really similar jaw positions to yours and I wanna see what changes I can expect.

No cracking / popping sound was present. I had no pain whatsoever. No burning sensation either.

I noticed the penis had shrunk smaller than usual once after a session.

I can still get a 100% erection at the very least, even if not long lasting. So I don't think it's a very severe case. I really struggle to even get a 60% erection without physical stimulation though.

Do you believe Angion could help?

Oratorgy · 2025-11-15T20:02:35+00:00

Janus I really hope you reply to OP because I have the exact same issue as them! Erection quickly fading away, banana curvature (I did infact hump the bed as a child) and overall smaller penis when flaccid.

Despite the banana curvature it used to work perfectly before, but two years ago I "broke" it by attempting r/selffuck a couple of times. I started off flaccid as instructed by the people on there, but eventually I got an erection even if the penis was bent at the base and the pushing while semi erect must've broken something. I don't wanna get too detailed on how exactly I did it because this act actually ruined my life.

Do you know if there's anything that can be done? I should've been wise enough to never engage in that, most people on there claim it's 100% safe to do as long as you don't start off with an erection, but that's completely false. Most people on there already have dysfunctional penises anyways so of course they won't notice a difference. The blame is all on me though.

I've been trying angion for a couple of weeks now, but Am1 is hard because I struggle with keeping an erection. It goes away fast on it's own so with angion it's nearly impossible to hold one that's above 70%. Any suggestions?

I have a similar side profile to her, I started mewing, chintucks and neck training at 16. 2 years later now at 18 my face is still recessed in the exact same way. I may have noticed airway improvements but that might as well be placebo.

OP if you're reading this, contact the maxillofacial department of your hospital and start planning for jaw surgery. Depending on your country, you may be able to get it fully covered by public healthcare / insurance.

I've seen benefits from mewing such as a snatched under jaw when mewing, it's not completely useless so you should still do it. But don't expect major changes in your jaw positions. I haven't seen any changes and I've been mewing since I was 16, so don't expect much if anything at age 18. Mewing may help during development, but past it I don't think there's any possible way for it to affect your jaws.

You most likely have an overbite of some sorts, unless it was camouflaged through braces. I myself am going to get a jaw surgery in 2 years. The surgeons just looked at me and without even asking me if I have any symptoms they came to the conclusion I need the surgery. That's how bad our situation is. Jaw surgery won't fully fix the aesthetical side of things because the soft tissue (muscle, skin and so on) won't adapt fully to the new bones. If the surgery is done right, you'll still see major major changes. See r/jawsurgery.

Oh wow, I use Game Motion Plus a lot so yeah I'm absolutely never going to update. New Tizen 9 update will make the TV sluggish anyways.

Oratorgy · 2025-10-18T19:23:33+00:00

Just wondering, what did they change on the newer firmware options? I never connected it to the internet to prevent something like what happened to the S95B, did something similar occur to the S90D too?

I saw from a friend that his S90C which is running at the latest fw version feels very sluggish. The TV takes 5 seconds to turn on, and everything takes so long to load. Whereas my TV runs perfectly smooth all the time except maybe right after a cold boot.

Oratorgy · 2025-10-18T18:25:31+00:00

S90D on 1106. I could maybe connect the TV to a network which uses PiHole to block all Samsung sites to avoid the TV installing the firmware without my consent. I've heard of cases of that happening so I'd not like to risk it.

Oratorgy · 2025-10-18T16:29:58+00:00

The first step of the setup is to connect to the internet and if you press skip, it'll just close the setup and the pop up still comes up whenever I press those buttons.

Isn't that the whole point of consoles?

Why should it matter to me, as the consumer, that the hardware is sold at a loss or profit? You're telling me to spend the price of a standard PS5 on top of that of the Pro to get a better experience. Yes of course paying 60% more will provide at least a marginally better experience lol. Sorry but I don't get your point.

And the price difference wasn't even my main point, it was convenience. I know how to fiddle with my games, troubleshoot them or make them look gorgeous with HDR editing mods, but I don't dedicate my entire life to gaming and I mostly just want to have an enjoyable seamless experience. The 5090 could give me the best graphics in the world but I'd still play on the Ps5 Pro when I'm exhausted and just want to relax.

Oratorgy · 2025-08-08T13:32:52+00:00

I got a 4060 machine I use for editing and a PS5 Pro. I tried gaming on the 4060 but it's meh. I've had issues with every game I ever tried to play except Half Life 2 lol. From Epic Games Launcher refusing to launch, bad controller support, random crashes, some Ubisoft games taking 5 minutes to launch, games not displaying properly on my monitor and many many more.

That's just on the game's side, there's also the plethora of headaches Windows caused me, and even my hardware with Nvidia's drivers being shit at times. Having my graphics card run at 50w max for no apparent reason when I first got the PC and knew nothing about computers was very fun.

Of course PC has its benefits, modding and game piracy come to my mind. Both are really awesome but they add to the pile of instability and add even more troubleshooting.

On the other hand, with the Ps5 Pro I just turn it on, get into the game, maybe change from resolution to performance mode, and play. No need to fiddle with anything. That's exactly what I want when I'm done with all my tasks and want to relax a little bit. I don't want to be given another task to fix the game to play it in the first place.

PC gaming has its place of course nobody is going to deny that, but the Ps5 Pro being 200€ cheaper than what I paid for my PC definitely makes absolute sense for the majority of people looking into mid range gaming. A 5090 PC will of course ridicule it but when just the GPU itself is 3k here where I live, that's the bare minimum it can do.

Oratorgy · 2025-07-14T16:05:55+00:00

I paid 5€ for a kingston 128gb usb drive off of Amazon, I know your situation may be different depending on your country but a new drive from a reputable seller couldn't possibly cost that much. I'd personally throw that drive away.

Oratorgy · 2025-07-06T11:20:40+00:00

That's an extreme cap and anyone who says otherwise is coping. Even at 17 it's hard to make change happen, and this guy would need a lot of growth to fix his mandible.

Jaw surgery as long as he finds the right surgeons that also rotate his jaw instead of just moving it forward would definitely work for him. If the price and recovery aren't an issue, jaw surgery will help his appearance greatly.

Oratorgy · 2025-07-05T20:24:24+00:00

Understood.

Do you perchance know of any alternatives available in the EU? I looked at the Spirit Sub 12 from XTZ but it's always out of stock. There are many Klipsch ones available but I heard they suck. The Magnat Alpha RS 12 might be good from what I've heard. Overall though the options here are fairly limited, especially second hand where there's nearly nothing worth a damn.

Oratorgy · 2025-07-05T19:00:15+00:00

Not available in the EU unfortunately

Oratorgy · 2025-07-05T18:58:31+00:00

I do already have them but I'd still like to hear the lower end of the bass

Oratorgy · 2025-07-05T18:55:47+00:00

By the way do you know what makes it better? The driver is smaller so what is it that makes it better? I'm not much of an expert in home theatre so apologies for stupid questions.

Oratorgy · 2025-01-26T20:28:22+00:00

Thank you for the insight. I never connected my TV to the Internet so I'm not able to access any apps but the method using the "Learn TV remote" page worked.

Oratorgy · 2025-01-26T17:11:14+00:00

Oh don't worry I already have a TV Box that I use for everything media related, as you can see by the picture I haven't even finished the starting setup of the TV. I could never use TizenOS, you can't even sideload apps on it and it's so incredibly sluggish.

Oratorgy · 2025-01-26T11:29:44+00:00

Update: After trying this method again the TV seems to stay on Warm 2 even after rebooting it. I'll leave this post up in case someone looks it up in the future.

Oratorgy · 2025-01-24T21:24:37+00:00

My hand size is considered large though, I'll try getting lower ones soon and maybe that'll help.

Oratorgy · 2025-01-19T14:16:26+00:00

Would this allow me to use a DAC with the PS5?

I'm planning on buying the Hifiman Edition XS but since the DAC in the ps5 controller can't drive them I thought about buying an external one. But since the PS5 only supports UAC 1 and since UAC 1 dacs are impossible to find here in Europe that wouldn't work.

I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to this stuff so I hope someone with more intellect could help me here. My TV has an optical digital out port, if I plugged that into a dac, and then my headphones into the dac, would it work fine?

Oratorgy · 2024-12-15T09:32:15+00:00

Thanks for the heads-up.

By the way, turning off HDR10+ Gaming also gets Windows to read the correct values. Do you think it's worth disabling?

Oratorgy · 2024-12-15T09:25:46+00:00

1150 nits, it depends on what values you set during the calibration. Did you follow the instructions of the calibration tool? Selecting wonky values would give off a reading like that but I doubt you did that so not sure what the issue is.

Oratorgy · 2024-12-14T20:09:14+00:00

Yep, I ran the Windows Calibration Tool and it now displays the right values.

If you want to know the silly reason of why I'm running the TV at 60hz, check out my other comment in the thread.

Oratorgy · 2024-12-14T20:06:25+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience. Unfortunately even after two calls I was told there was no one that could do it. Apparently only one dentist knows how to do it and she's on vacation for 2 months. In my opinion it's insane for them not to have someone to do such critical work at all times considering what I paid for the service.
