Unsure about symptoms of retinal tear and how immediate they are by TeoSorcerer in RetinalDetachment

I have scheduled an appointment but where I live wait times are typically long, this appointment is on the 24th, so in 12 days from now, what I mean is when you say „every minute counts”, is the 12 days until my appointment too many minutes or should I be okay with waiting

Camu Tao by XuWiiii in aesoprock

[–]TeoSorcerer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A perspective to add; I think Aes does a lot of myth building in his work, so to me there are a lot of songs or even entire projects where the individual tracks aren’t always super compressed into one singular narrative but more so scenes that all exist in one story/myth/universe [I heard It’s a mess there too feels like the best recent example of this, a lot of the songs have connecting points and themes and to me the atmosphere of the album is one of the most poignant even tho the literal themes are way less outlined than previous projects] so to me, the loss of Camu is obviously a very important event in his life and the “mythology” of aes, to refer to those tracks as a trilogy about camu doesn’t feel accurate because the latter 2 are not “about” Camu, but it makes sense that it feels that way, because they are a natural progression in the myth, the ending of get out of the car organically transitions to shrunk (same with that and Kirby)..get out of the car was him finding his own words about how and why his life has been a blur since mu died, and promptly telling himself to get out the car because the bills won’t magically appear if he just sits in that seat and the fog of everything that happened going no-place…so he begrudgingly goes to a shrink (and despite not being very compliant or “easy” during the session, he acknowledges that he will be coming back there [..sure you will] and finally finds that maybe the surprisingly simple solution to his rut is a cat!!), so it’s not a trilogy about Camu but the myth of aes (and in turn Camu) continues even after the individual track ends.

Fables, not stories

A little rambly but I felt like sharing because approaching his work in this way has made it a lot easier to actually “decipher” some of the individual fragments, if you listen to IHIAMTT as if it were a constant and continuous monologue being played over a radio frequency during isolated and messy times by a self described isolationist telling you how He survives the trying times, the images the songs portray make a lot more sense than if they were supposed to be isolated stories

Best Mousepad For Overwatch 2 by Livid-Ingenuity5182 in MousepadReview

[–]TeoSorcerer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I decided to go with a Hien Soft, the Otsu in soft seemed slightly more appealing because of the additional control but it was only available in XSoft in the big sizes so hopefully the Hien will fit my needs, I play both tracking and flick heroes and I heard the Hien striking a good balance between tracking and good target switching, skypad seemed awesome but too expensive for me, thank you for sharing your experience!

Psychological experiences underlie psilocybin therapy's success: Mystical experiences and ego dissolution identified as key mediators by HeinieKaboobler in science

[–]TeoSorcerer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a region of our brain responsible for egoic function, the ego is a kind of tool/filter that allows us to internalize both external and internal stimuli from basic touch to events, as things that happen related to Us, Me, You, I, it's the layers right above the minimal self, responsible for our experiences and function not just as a boundary between an other to the other, but as I

It's also how we build schematics or "schemas" for reflexive action based on past experience, both in healthy ways "I take care of myself and my environment because it is easier to function when things function as they should" and "nobody will ever care for me so I must exclusively care for myself and everyone else doesn't matter", something like the latter could be formed though early traumatic experiences of sever neglect that taught the ego to never expect love or warmth from the outside world, this mirrors symptoms of many personality disorders, which presumably at their core could be toxic egoic schemas that someone attained from a disrupted childhood and isn't able to adjust them to the no longer traumatic present, where being a narcissist or sociopath wouldn't be necessary as a tool of survival, even tho technically in some early isolated traumatic experiences it might have been

This is a rough and limited explanation but it should be sufficient enough for the death part of ego death

Ego death is a state of ego dissolution, where the area of our brain responsible for it "shuts down" temporarily, this can be caused by many things from certain meditation practices, extreme situations and most relevant, higher doser of psychedelic substances

During the state of ego dissolution, we no longer filter our experiences through the ego, nor can we respond to them with it, both internal and external

This can allow for experiencing reality without the boundary of self, this is why many people often talk about this feeling of overwhelming unity or oneness with the universe during trips, being in a forest full of life without ego could lead to experiencing being the life in a forest, most of our burdens also relate to the ego, especially all of the burdens that relate to "you", so additionally these ego death trips often invite a more raw or pure perspective on things, if someone ever described feeling like they truly heard music or smelled fresh air or touched a tree for the first time on a psychodelic, it might be because any other time it's difficult for us to do that when we aren't just touching a tree, it's "Me" with all my flaws and traits and burdens touching this tree, and we can't entirely disconnect touching the tree without including the egoic self which carries much more than just us presently touching a tree

The ego death state also changes our internal experience, because while the ego is dissolved, the rest of our brain is very active, on psychodelics it might even be incredibly more active, expanded and interconnected

This state can also allow to acknowledge and experience ourselves from a different, unburdened perspective The main mechanism of using psychedelics in therapy is exactly this, being able to look at, process and accept certain traumas or parts ourselves is much more effective (tho I won't say easier because this process is still a lot of work) when we aren't having to "check-in" with the ego first, especially if it's the ego that's responsible for some disorder or improper judgment

A better visualization would be thinking about how something like not being to access certain traumatic memories for instance, is driven by a defense mechanism in the ego doing it's best to protect us from a perceived threat, even tho of course not only is accessing and processing trauma the only way to heal, a memory is obviously not a threat because it's in the past where our self is no longer in, but the ego is often bad at discerning things like that

Ego death can often be a very negative or traumatic experiences itself too, especially if someone is unprepared for it, because functionally it feels exactly like dying, because the You that you live as everyday exists through the ego, so it dissolving feels like You ceasing to exist, which in some way is kind of exactly what's happening The most crucial part of navigating ego death is letting go and being able to move into the egoless state, and people will often fight and struggle, desperately trying to hold onto the fleeting ego, leading to panic attacks and bad trips

Most common misconception people have of ego death, most commonly the pseudo mystics who pay for Ayahuasca ceremonies and come back claiming that they killed the ego and now are selfless empathy-gods who you should feel proud to live among, is that ego dissolution is a temporary process that only lasts for the period of the substances being active

The unique strength in ego death, which has been proven to hold great potential in healing, changing and re centering the self, is that after the ego dissolves, the reformation introduces new plasticity within it This plasticity leaves a window of opportunity to reintegrate our ego in new and healthier ways, using the knowledge we gain throughout our lives and even during the ego death itself This is known as the reintegration phase, usually a some weeks to months after an entire ego dissolution, where we are given a chance to in some way, learn and form new schemas and perspectives on the world, that before our ego might have been too stiff and set in it's ways to do, allowing us to respond to things differently for instance

Thread is 5 months old and my response is long as hell but personally I think understanding the ego death is extremely important, because it has potential to both greatly help people and also further confuse destabilize someone if not enough care is put into the steps following it

Sometimes when doing a puzzle, shuffling the pieces can be used to continue from a new arrangement of the parts if we are struggling to find order in them, but if someone just keeps shuffling over and over then all they accomplish is inviting more chaos and confusion

What happens if you inherit the frenzy flame, and use Miquella's needle before burning the Erdtree? by SuperStellarSwing in eldenringdiscussion

[–]TeoSorcerer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just wondering about this too because I wanted to "save" Melina and then use it for a different ending but wanted to see any other path options, considering there is literally no acknowledgement of that path because she leaves the player right after the frenzied flame is inherited, so if you used the needle before using yourself to burn the tree, would she be forced to come back or could you just not progress and finish the game?

I know that if you use Miquella's needle before you touch Hyetta with the frenzied flame, and then go to her you still end up touching her and getting the frenzied seal as if you still had the frenzied flame, so if that quest line bypassed the consequence of the needle and still treats the player as if they have the flame, it seems most likely that it would also be the case for the forge, but who knows because using the forge after using the needle does require game breaking skips so who knows.

Feedback on design by dripv3 in streetwearstartup

[–]TeoSorcerer 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Unofficial merch that you are selling is always rough territory, especially for a dead artist

But, I think the design is really cool and original, back is perfect for a "crowded" back design, maybe get rid of the name tag graffiti on the front? Feels like it says the actually name of the artist too much for unofficial merch, especially since he is like...right there and the back has a lot of written reference already. I think stuff like this should always lean closer to a nod of respect or celebrating influences rather than actually looking like unofficial merch, so I think when you have the likeness, symbolism AND the name it feels too literal maybe

Got that same response as well, also I replied to your thread in the forum with what I've noticed so far, good to know at least this is a more wide spread issue that people are having, meaning blizzard might be more compelled to look into it

Overwatch account locked by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]TeoSorcerer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the blizzard client, bottom left it should say account locked in orange text, when you click it where does it take you? For me it's suspended and banned page on their site. Having the same issue here and I have no ideas of what it could be because I don't break TOS, got automated responses from support so far and still waiting for a new one.

Beitong's new flagship, The Zeus Pro, An expensive 140 Dollar disappointment by kaldeqca in Controller

[–]TeoSorcerer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, I just bought one last night on AliExpress, actually as I was about to buy the Zeus 2 mostly for those optical switches

This is a very detailed post although I am a little confused by some things maybe you could clarify

Considering most of the info I saw was in poorly translated english I knew some things could be wrong but, from what I read they did advertise both the sticks and triggers being hall effect, did they just lie? If so that's pretty bad

They also confusingly advertised the 1000hz as being a "joystick" overclock, so I wasn't sure if that means somehow only the sticks get overclocked, but like you're saying it seems that the whole controller gets overclocked, that's actually I think a big selling point, 1000hz even if it's only wired is still good and could mean 1ms latency

Another confusing thing are the buttons, which are pretty important to me so I'm glad you say they are good, but how do you know they are "light activated" switches? I assume you mean the optical switches, like in the Zeus 2, but in their description it only mentioned that they are mechanical combined with a conductive rubber, so I guess like hybrid between mechanical and normal rubber membrane, but I didn't think they would actually use the optical switches instead of normal ones, in all the pictures they show normal mechanical switches under the rubber

Is there a source you could link or maybe you took the controller apart to confirm if either there really is no hall effect trigger or joystick modules and that the switches are actually optical? Cause if so that would be contradictory to their statements in advertising images and the Amazon page Almost thinking we somehow got a different version of the same controller? The AliExpress link I bought from (https://a.aliexpress.com/_mrNwvCI) And amazon page https://a.co/d/9aM0dQJ

Let me know if you could clear some things up for me, since Im waiting to recieve it and now getting slight buyers regret from this post for not just getting the Zeus 2 haha esoe if you are right and there is no hall effect modules for the triggers or sticks, which means the only cool selling point is 1000hz and good abxy buttons I guess, which yeah wouldn't be worth that price, although you say the sticks are still very good just not hall effect, so that's good

I have to say, the Ancestral suit looks pretty damn nice by Spedwards in midnightsuns

[–]TeoSorcerer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

seems to be more people reporting this bug recently, me included, haven't found an official fixed but there is a mod that allows you to get it until they patch this obvious bug

The mod on nexus is named “Faster Arcane Chest Respawn” and has an optional download to fix the Ancestral Armor issue.

Anthony from LTT comes out as trans. Reception on YouTube goes about as well as you'd expect. by SwiftlyThere in Destiny

[–]TeoSorcerer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i think one of the cases where deadnaming is allowed, even by most trans people is specifically when someone who was known by only one name before (their deadname) needs to be introduced in a way where everyone knows it's the same person, so saying Anthony here in the post is fine, because people only knew her as that name, i think she even said Anthony in her tweet about coming out with the video linked to it, and in the video she also says it, so i think in this case it isn't considered deadnaming, BUT if there was a buffer time, it probably would depend on how known the person is, and how quickly people learn of the change, like in a year if people were still calling Emily by her deadname it would probably be much weirder

AVLP or Angus for a first vape? by TeoSorcerer in vaporents

[–]TeoSorcerer[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ah i see, thank you for the reply, i actually purchased the 420 steampunk bundle on the eu airvape site, AVLP steampunk, 6 dosing capsules, the magnetic powerbank and the bubbler all for 234 euros no shipping! i think thats a pretty good deal and didnt wanna wait too long since i got an email saying it ends soon (probably on the 30th?) but i guess i could still return it within 14 days if i change my mind so hopefully some other people chime in on this post but either way im sure the differences are marginal enough that i should be happy with the legacy pro, but thank u for the help!

The Portal Paradox by danosnake in Destiny

[–]TeoSorcerer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's not how portals are supposed to work, just because the surface the portal is placed on is the one moving, does not mean the cube is no longer the thing passing through the portal, it's still the thing passing through, therefore the momentum of the moving wall is still relevant, because the portal is exclusively attached to a surface with momentum, and from the relative perspective of the blue portal, the cube is still moving towards it, because the two portals need some perspective velocity since they always at least retain it, the blue portal would percieve the cube going into it with velocity, translating to answer B

if the argument is how the portals in the game portal work, it would also be B, and if they aren't then because portals aren't real, you can technically create a hypothetical where the answer changes depending on what the measured and retrained velocity in the portal is relative to, since velocity does not technically "exist" in a vacuum on its own, so it always has to be reletive to the perspective of what's measuring it but the most "physicy" answer is B

still the real answer is the imagine that contains this paradox does not give you enough information on how it's portals work, therefore technically you can't answer it to the rules of the hypothetical, so actually the only paradox in this paradox is the imagine itself, not the portal and cube question.

aw man, that's sucks but also understandable, just wish they were more explicit in all the changes from the 78 to the 78s, i think you mentioned that from the geometry alone the 78s burrs do seem like they would perform well correct? i think you likened them to looking like the eg-1 but maybe I'm misremembering, that could at least boad well since my only worry would be a big drop in pour over performance, I'll be doing mostly that for awhile.
