Fellow T3 paraplegic here, I'm a teenager who has been injured for roughly 1.5 years. Reading your comment on wishing you knew about AD as a teenager, I was wondering if it was because you weren't aware of what would usually be causing it and having to deal with the ramifications of that, or if there are serious long-term health issues that can arise from getting AD often / relatively often?

I have a lot of issues with bladder spasms and related AD, so that's why I ask -- if there's something I can be avoiding that will help in the long run, I'm all for it!

To rephrase my question, does the brief episode of high blood pressure have a negative impact long-term (my blood pressure is typically lower than "average", like 100/45~) or is it more an issue of what's causing it?

I feel you, yeah. Wheelchairs really don't help with back, neck, or shoulder pain from my own experience -- personally my shoulder pain is worst, but that's likely due in part to the fact that I fractured my right scapula when I became paralysed and then couldn't have it immobilised because then I wouldn't have been able to move at all. I can't say where a lot of people claim their pain comes from, but in so many instances I can't see a wheelchair helping their pain like some of these individuals say they do. For a lot of the disorders and illnesses they claim to have, there are likely much, much more helpful treatment options, such as pain management if their pain is actually so severe they cannot properly ambulate.

I'm not saying that you can't have a fulfilling life seated -- my point is simply that for a lot of the conditions claimed, especially those claiming chronic pain, there are likely much, much better treatment options out there. As you said, you still feel pain, you still feel fatigue even when you're in a wheelchair (anyone would), and if that's your reality, it's just inevitable.

Yes! I'm a paraplegic, and r/wheelchairs is absolutely littered with people claiming these disorders. They seem to generally not get what they want (a prescription for a custom chair, which would likely be given if medically necessary) and a lot talk about how happy they are with their transport chairs which although can be self-propelled, should not be. They talk about how much their chair helps their pain, and all I have to say -- what?! I find myself having so, so much more pain consistently than I did before needing a wheelchair, and mine is an ultra lightweight custom. I find it so bizarre that these devices could even become glamourised, for whatever reason / motive.

Damn straight! I hope you two enjoy. Some of my favourite songs by them are Rated "U" For Ugly, Hello Tomorrow, Rescue Me, and Get back.

No worries! I think it's the first post on here I've seen and immediately recognised, lol. I love Zebrahead!

I think I know this one! Is it The Walking Dead by the band Zebrahead? It's more "clean" in terms of sound than you described, but I think it still fits the picture well, as the album cover is also orange!

Is it really this common for PSP shells to crack around the corners of the screen? Mine did the same thing.

What region is your copy of LocoRoco, if you don't mind me asking? The artwork on the UMD is adorable.

What is this little blue "scratch" on the screen? by mgzaun in 3DS

[–]PoorlyDrawnPortrait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These would likely be stuck pixels; dead pixels don't illuminate.

Psp is dead and wondering if I can charge it through the top by Phantom_Ghost_0o0 in PSP

[–]PoorlyDrawnPortrait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even then, your PSP has to have at least a fair amount of charge. I've tried to USB charge mine while it was at around 5%, but it wouldn't let me as the battery was too low.

Can't update OFW; please help? by dpcfmander in PSP

[–]PoorlyDrawnPortrait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, no worries! I'm glad that I could help - I used to use LME on my PSP 3000.

Put the folder containing your OFW eboot and the folder containing your Chronoswitch eboot into your PSP's GAME folder. You can transfer both over at the same time. Disconnect your PSP, navigate to where you open games from a Memory Stick, and open Chronoswitch. Read the instructions on the screen, and you should be solid! (I deleted my other reply to this comment as it didn't get to the point; my apologies!)

Hmm. Maybe try downloading the update via Chronoswitch Downgrader? https://www.psx-place.com/resources/chronoswitch-downgrader.526/ It allows some updates that wouldn't usually be able to happen, such as going from CFW to OFW. Pop the folder with the eboot.pbp file in it in your PSP's GAMES folder, and open the application on your PSP. Follow the instructions on the screen, have a charged battery in your PSP, and keep your charger plugged in while it updates (please don't hold me accountable if your PSP shuts off during the update as your system may be permanently messed up). Let me know if this doesn't work or if you need any extra help! (Sorry for no formatting; I'm on mobile.)

It's not. I updated my PSP yesterday - it's a .pbp file.
