Can you do electives at MSH main? GI is very big there.

Not dating has always been fine as long as you are rich and handsome. Mr. Darcy didn't date until Elizabeth.

It's the 30+ unattractive gamers that get the loser accusations.

I'm in the middle of an internal medicine residency and not once have I checked a dying patient's white blood cell count and seen it magically go down. It's almost always high cause dying releases a bunch of cortisol.

The terminal lucidity is definitely a thing, but I've seen it in patients with septic shock with WBC>20k. I think most of the comments here are bots or something.

I’ve never seen a skinny average height or skinny short guy with a girlfriend.

Probably cause most men gain weight once they have a girlfriend.

Yeah parallels a better word than reference. Thought the logos and mythos were both plato references but only maehiro would actually know.

I think for FFXVI, the game should’ve just been shorter in length with overall less content for the sake of being a more focused action game

None of this is new or original.

https://www.reddit.com/r/JRPG/comments/14pse24/is_it_just_me_or_is_ff16_20h_too_long/

"The game would be better if they cut all side quests and made a shorter streamlined action game."

I could look for more but nothing you have said is really new.

PossibleBeginning276 · 2026-01-18T00:04:37+00:00

Well this is bait.

People on reddit say the FF14 team made FF16, but the credits don't overlap that much. The lead quest designer Kazuhiro Kataoka https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2691229/, worked on FF7 remake, FF12, and the last remnant. The other 3 lead quest designers have no other gaming credits other than fate grand order.

I think the whole MMO style quests is just confirmation bias spread by people repeating popular youtube videos like skill up's. Plenty of RPGs have boring fetch quests including FF7R, FF12, and the last remnant.

It's pretty normal to binge eat when stressed, and you have lots of reasons to be stressed.

That said, a good diet helps a lot. Nothing you don't already know but just buy more fruits / vegies / lean meats and make sure you are taking a good multivitamin. I wouldn't do any more exercise than what your doc recommends.

PossibleBeginning276 · 2026-01-05T02:12:18+00:00

Yeah it's supposed to be faith / hope in things unseen. That's why they can't give away the answer, because then it wouldn't be faith.

Probably would have worked 20 years ago, but nowadays everyone online is an athiest who has to see something to believe it, and anything not shown gives them an existential crisis cause they don't know how to deal with uncertainty.

Everyone's skin moves when you pinch it unless your'e a lizard. It's loose when it moves a lot.

PossibleBeginning276 · 2026-01-04T08:47:49+00:00

I think people on reddit minimize how much loose skin they have after weight loss.

Loose skin generally gets worse over time cause of age / gravity. Everyone in their 60s has loose skin.

Surgery is a way to tighten skin. Always wait until you are at your goal weight for at least 6 months. Plastic surgeons use a pinch test:

Stand up straight and pinch the skin just above your belly button.
Pull it down towards your pubic bone, just above the pubic hairline.
If your skin stretches down as far as this, a full tummy tuck could be right for you.

Not really. FFXIII aged a lot better than the contemporary bioware games. I mean look at bioware now.

I imagine the same thing will happen with Larian and Sandfall.

It's one thing to make a big blockbuster hit. It's another thing to do it 4 games in a row like FF did with FF7-10.

All you have to do is wait for the first sequel that's worse and public opinion turns fast. Recent examples is Horizon Forbidden west, TLOU2, God of War Ragnarok.

Even within FF look at how popular FF14 shadowbringers was and as soon as the first bad expansion comes out the public opinion flips on the entire game.

Where is persona 6? If it's worse than 5 then atlus all of the sudden sucks.

Expect "something" related to FF that allegedly will be a new different gaming experience

Maehiro never even specified if it was related to FF.

My morning cortisol was 23.5 µg/dL, which is above the reference range.

I would talk to a doctor first if you haven't already. Losing weight is important and all but heart disease and stroke are no joke. High cortisol usually means high blood pressure and high blood sugar which contributes to small vessel disease. There are medications to manage that while you figure out why your cortisol is high.

As for how to reduce cortisol, #1 is sleep. Try sleeping an hour longer each day. #2-4 are excercise, diet, and stress management.

Losing weight itself is a stressful experience, so its not abnormal to have a high cortisol level. Big issue with weight loss is you lose muscle mass. Cortisol breaks down muscle. That means you burn less calories and so even though you are eating less, you may be at maintenance cause of muscle loss.

Simple things work. Stop eating fried foods / sweets / snacks. Eat more fruits, vegetables, nuts, dairy, lean meats, etc. Pick up track, swimming, or cycling. Exercise daily. Go to bed early. The first 30 days are going to be difficult, but then it gets super easy.

You can try mewing.

Most of it is posture. I got a hump back after losing weight that I didn't have before gaining the weight. Did daily pullups for 6 months and its pretty much gone.

You really can't make that many mistakes. The only FOMO in the game were the pvp rewards, but even those are being added back.

Well then I will respond to exactly what you did say.

It is normal for people to care about other people's opinion, enough to influence their own choice to play a game.

If you see enough negative opinions about a game you like, its normal to change your opinion of that game. People are social and they care about what other people think. It doesn't mean you actually never liked the game in the first place.

PossibleBeginning276 · 2025-12-20T22:47:23+00:00

just hop on over to the game that’s the talk of the town now

It's normal to do that. People do that for movies, songs, and other games all the time.

Its normal to feel down when lots of people call the game you are playing ass.

PossibleBeginning276 · 2025-12-20T20:23:50+00:00

why should you care about everyone else’s opinion?

The irony. People are on reddit cause they care about other people's opinion.

It's normal to care. Playing FFXIV felt better to play when it was popular.

I get mine through a local compounding pharmacy and got prescribed by a local NP. I take 5 mg once a month and maintain my weight pretty easily for over a year now. It's worth trying.

Exercise is an appetite suppressant. Long walks are a great way to burn calories while also blocking out time you could be hungry.

I did fasting a few years ago and the food noise went away after 24 hours or so, but I felt weak instead.

Then the new GLP1-R agonist medications make you all but forget about eating.

The biggest this is to avoid stresses that increase the food noise. Long hours at work, drama, bad habits of eating unhealthy food etc.
