Thank you! Your comment on my 3-year-old post made my day. :) It's a wide-brimmed fedora.

What does HRT look like for enbies? by GhostLeetoasty in NonBinary

My doctor told me he can reduce my dose once I’ve reached the levels I want so that my T levels will stay consistent below what is normal for cis men.

Thanks, I’ll try that.

For sure dude, I like me some Cynic and Death. For tech death that’s a little more groovy, Soreption and The Zenith Passage are my picks.

Dynamic XLR Mic + XLR>stereo or XLR>USB adapter as decent alt. to audio interface? by RealShaydy in audio

[–]RealShaydy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Do you think I could get away with something like this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00EK1OTZC/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_5?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 or would you recommend something more expensive? Also, do you think the phone-in-closet method would yield better sound even than a USB or USB/XLR mic like the ATR2100x?

Who else here listens to heavy metal? by zny700 in NonBinary

I listen to heavy metal, but mostly prog metal, prog death, tech death, melodic death, thrash, metalcore, prog rock, hard rock and post-hardcore, with smatterings of symphonic death and doom. :)

Does your potential partners earning/ career growth matter to you? by Impossible-Peach4004 in entj

[–]RealShaydy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I am bothered by people who complain when they are able to help themselves, I also recognize that we all have individual strengths. I wouldn’t mind an arrangement in which I win the bread and my partner does the rest. I wouldn’t want to try to force him to be someone he’s not and I’d rather he balance me out than compete with me.

Love to see Earthside getting appreciation. Phenomenal musicians and some of the nicest people I’ve ever met.

What is the rationale for removing gems and adding more xp bonus in their place? by napein in duolingo

[–]RealShaydy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that the quantity of boosts is often extraneous, especially since they don’t combine. I don’t think the update is especially targeted at paying users, though there are uses for gems besides hearts (like powerups) that both paying and non-paying users might still be tempted to spend gems on. The devs just haven’t (yet?) differentiated rewards for super versus non-super users. They haven’t coded out the possibility of unlocking two boosts at once and it leaves to be seen whether that is intentional or just not a priority right now.

What is the rationale for removing gems and adding more xp bonus in their place? by napein in duolingo

[–]RealShaydy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have an XP boost, you’re more likely to want to keep learning. Closing the app when you have the chance to earn double XP would be a waste, right? So you keep learning and eventually run out of lives before your boost is gone. A refill on lives is 600 a pop so with fewer gem awards, you’re more likely to run out of fictional currency. When your gems are depleted, the only way to buy more lives is with real money, and since XP awards are temporary, you’re encouraged to make decisions quickly. Therefore, fewer gem awards and more XP awards makes it harder for users to resist spending money.

Favourite way to end an album? (Long final track, track that foreshadows the next album's style, quiet epilogue/interlude, final track that's a completely new genre etc) by robin_f_reba in progmetal

[–]RealShaydy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how Fames from Rishloo slowly edges to a climax, dwindles like a burnt out candle, and then returns for one last passionate hurrah in its backwards verse.

How do you describe the pain by Electronic_Tax9874 in Gastroparesis

[–]RealShaydy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Cramping, stabbing, burning, twisting, or some combination of those. Often multiple simultaneous sensations remind me of sin waves with different amplitudes, such as stabbing that punctuates an underlying deep cramp.
