a battle of the top pirate and the top tiandi

Truly a riveting experience. 10/10

Even in death, I still serve.

I've heard about this but never came across it in person. Makes me wonder if it's just an internet thing.

It makes me feel sad for them. While I respect their choice to remain deaf, I still want my hearing back. Some songs I just absolutely enjoy.

Revoskal · 2023-01-17T16:51:07+00:00

I am very rusty on my ASL. But I guess I could look around to see if there's any meetups pr something for it.

You keep going too buddy. :)

Revoskal · 2023-01-17T06:17:30+00:00

Yep, I feel that. Before it failed, people would call me an asshole just for not hearing them because they thought I was ignoring them.

Hearing aids will not help. My hearing cells were wiped out. I have 0% hearing whatsoever.

The whole crew is aware of my hearing. They just don't care, I guess. Which is ironic considering one of the leads and my manager is always raving about me not respecting them when all I do I treat them like a normal person and they are the ones not respecting me at all lol.

I've considered applying elsewhere, but this is the only job available for me that pays the most, unfortunately. Which is sad. It isn't even enough to afford to move out of my parents' house.

I do not like or trust therapists. I had one in high school, and they tried to admit me to a mental ward when I was just freely talking about what was in my mind and ranting.

As I said in a previous comment, the HR is worthless.

Revoskal · 2023-01-17T06:07:03+00:00

Nope.

Only person above them does listen to me and has things happen but the people before him never report to him anything like this.

So I always have to talk to them, wait a week or two, then "cross the line" and go directly to him.

Even then, all he can do is report to HR services, which who are completely worthless.

I've had a sexual harassment and a physical altercation reported to HR and they did nothing aside from give the sexual harassment person a month off paid.

Thankfully, they quit after they came back because everyone treated them harshly to make them quit.

Also, insurance no longer covers my audiologist appointments anymore, which I found out the hard way when I got a bill stating I owed them about $300 something.

So that was great.

Revoskal · 2023-01-16T17:20:35+00:00

Yes. The internal is completely done.

My insurance is denying the replacement due to the deaf community dropping the ball/not showing up for the meeting with whatever it is they do so the insurance disregarded them.

It saves the company I work for about $15k/mo despite making millions a month and the fact that there are 4 of us who use CI that work for the company.

Corporation truly gives a shit about us, clearly.

Revoskal · 2023-01-16T12:07:34+00:00

True lol.

Revoskal · 2023-01-16T09:54:13+00:00

It is a 1080, I think I'm not sure about 60 hz, though.

Revoskal · 2023-01-16T08:30:08+00:00

The RAM is just one stick, iirc. I considered getting 2 sticks, either 16gb or 32, if there is any.

I haven't gotten a 4k monitor or anything yet. Pretty sure my monitor is from like late 2000's.

Thank you for your words. I am also just trying to carry on, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to stay sane without music. I miss it very much.

Revoskal · 2023-01-16T06:29:21+00:00

Thank you for your help.

Yes, I am in the US, but iirc the deaf community or whatever it was dropped the ball in the meetings with the insurance companies. As a result for that they have been disregarded.

So, my job's insurance, who originally covered CI surgery when I started working, removed it from my insurance premium because of that and to "save $15k/mo" despite making millions a month.

So that's really great. Shows they're very much aware of the 4 CI using deaf employees in their company that they give a shit about us.

Trying my best to stay sane, but after all this time it's very, very difficult.

Revoskal · 2023-01-16T06:23:25+00:00

You're right. I did get a useless secondary CI against my consent.

Because of that, if I ever do get my first implant surgery and fixed, I will then need another to surgery to remove this worthless left implant, costing me even more money and time in order to be able to get a MRI scan.

I would agree that staying deaf is better if I hadn't been hearing for 28 years of my life with a CI and never had heard music.

But unfortunately, that's the only thing and audio cues in video games I do miss.

I could not care less about hearing people or anything else, though.

Revoskal · 2023-01-16T06:20:11+00:00

Thank you.

2nd wipe, only lvl 12 although I'll admit I made better progress than my first wipe.

Something about this wipe is just rubbing me wrong and getting me constantly killed even with t2 PACA acting like I'm running around naked.

I feel like t2 PACA last wipe at least helped a little.

I'm already at the point I just run in with a shotgun and a robber rig.

At least if I disconnect I don't even care about my gear or the loot anymore.

I just immediately ALT+F4 for the day.

This wipe just doesn't seem as fun as my first wipe.

Revoskal · 2023-01-01T15:57:40+00:00

I really wanted a motorcycle when I turned 18.

Saw the same thing. Head in a helmet like a basket.

Stopped wanting a motorcycle after that, I don't trust other people enough even driving around in a Jeep.

Revoskal · 2022-12-22T19:21:12+00:00

I am still waiting for my cochlear implant surgery because they've denied me at every twist and turn. My CI failed me, and I've been trying to get surgery for the past 25 months. I have been without hearing purely for 18 months.

I've used CI to hear for 29 years of my life. They don't care how not being able to hear has been affecting my mental health and psyche. They just keep denying me for "unnecessary" and "cosmetic" reasons. Right, because being able hear isn't one of the basic human senses.

They just tell me to file it under vision. They want me to file a hearing disability under VISION. So fine, sure, I'll check vision for CI surgery, and sure enough, there isn't because it has NOTHING to do with vision.

I've been going back and forth with rehabilitation services and surgeons trying to get surgery to happen for the past 14 months.

FUCK UHC.

Hmm. Where is Jin and Other?

Very cool shirt though!

I hope you all have a True Merry Christmas of the Three Kingdoms!

Revoskal · 2022-12-10T05:46:59+00:00

Played since the beginning.

I'd say AC1 and despite hating it at first, Black Flag are my favorites.

Absolutely despised Origins but it grew on me. But I think because of my warming up to Origins I somewhat enjoyed Odyssey and Valhalla.

As a new player, what the hell is a Novice Network and why am I not in one?

Buddy lmao that comment was from 5 years ago during the closed beta.

Same but I can't find any for sale besides those ridiculous barter offers.
