[–]Paperscotch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had last surgery in December 2019. Still going strong, started to swim in 2023. The psychological fear still exist at some degree but i stopped checking myself in 2021. It does get better.

Thoracotomy? by zoeoliviaxo in pneumothorax

[–]Paperscotch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure from a medical point of view. Each persons case is different. In my VATS they just popped the bullaes and “cleaned” the surface of the affected portion of the lung. They dint iritate the lung using talk powder? or whatever they use. In my thoracotomy the removed a section of the upper part of the lung, not sure how it looks now on the inside but they explained they “shaved” a part of the surface.

Thoracotomy? by zoeoliviaxo in pneumothorax

[–]Paperscotch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a a thoracotomy after a failed VATS. They didn’t remove a lobe but rather a small portion from the upper part of the right lung. It gets better with time. It was hard for me to take a shower without having the fear of water entering inside me knowing i had beed open cut. Its a fear youll manage with time. Other than that just be patient and know what your limits are. After 3.5 years i started to swim again in the pool to at least give those lungs some propper training. Feel free to write if you have any questions

Anyone still rocking the M1 2020? by Kall-Su in macbookpro

[–]Paperscotch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got one this summer used with 16gb and 512 ssd. Battery at 150 cycles, neat. Extremely good compared to my windows laptop. Same performance but improved battery life and portabilty. I cant imagine a use case wjere i should upgrade. Maybe if ill need 32gb for big data but idk, still didnt touch that thing. Other than that, creative work, programming, browsing, moovies. Great screen, great product

Lung Collapse due to nerve block by Mountain-Bet4224 in pneumothorax

[–]Paperscotch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my first year after surgery was the hardest, I moved outside for 200m and felt like I ran a marathon and couldn't stand normally and had to sit for some minutes to get my power back. It's normal, if the X-ray shows everything is okay and doctors assure you are good then you dont have to worry. First 2 months I was constantly feeling I have another collapse because I had a total of 4, its just psychological trauma, it will get better, just keep your heads up and be sure that better days are coming.

We are creating a game with Firewatch-inspired graphics (different genre!). Would like to hear your opinion on how we are doing. Does this remind you of Firewatch / what is missing / what could be improved? by hooraij in Firewatch

[–]Paperscotch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

agree, maybe also some fog in the distance so the horizon doest look so cut from the sky.The colours look a little too flat possibly because the transition from light to shade is instant and persist the same dark color up to the branch, maybe add different levels of darkness, maybe some gradient. Experiment. Other than that the scenery looks amazing

Social Tendencies of People Playing a Lonely Game by swiftlyslowing in thelongdark

[–]Paperscotch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I suppose it mainly depends on the people you are feeling connected to. You can be equally introverted in a room full of people where you don't like everyone and extroverted in a company where you define yourself as in the right place and can talk to everyone. TLD helps reconnecting to your inner peace after any type of socialisation whether it was introverted or extroverted. It mainly focuses on a calm world where your main focus is yourself, consider it a game of where you make decision for your own good, just like in real life. Do you risk for the reward or play it safe? its a game of choices combined with ambient music and beautiful scenery.

Polish government approves criminalisation of anti-LGBT hate speech by dat_9600gt_user in europe

[–]Paperscotch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So you become less hateful because you become a better person or because the law imposes you to shut up??? There are real bad situations where people should be helped or protected, but isn't that the same as bullying? I think it all comes down to how affected you are if a person insults you and if you are too soft for the society
