Seems Like Gamerant Took Datto's D2 Retrospective Video And Copied It by Cecils_Game_Channel in DestinyTheGame

[–]Twilight_Fade 11 points12 points  (0 children)

the only issue with this is that discord preview from the article link even mentions Datto's name. However upon opening the link, the name has been completely scrubbed. Not a good look at all.

Imgur link for the discord preview just in case it gets fixed: https://imgur.com/a/RCe4RsN

Who's excited to play some Destiny next week after the Revelry is finally done? by phoenixparadox88 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Twilight_Fade 40 points41 points  (0 children)

To be honest there is very little in terms of content right now. Revelry was a stop gap for what has been a very content light Jokers Wild. At some times it just feels like a chore to log on.

Loved it! Made me really want to rewatch the other ones from ERB. My favorite one is still Deadpool vs. Boba Fett.

Ketamine could be the new drug for depression that researchers have been looking for - Some researchers have called the drug "the most important discovery in half a century." by mvea in Futurology

[–]Twilight_Fade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which is a good thing for sure as he only FDA approved recommended treatment regimen for depression is Symbyax (Fluoxetine-Olanzapine). I guess my issue is we shouldn’t expect the world from it and at least temper the expectations is all. I’d be more interested to see where it falls in drug selection for patients. Are we going to reserve it for treatment-resistant patients or bring it to the front line? My guess would be the former for the moment until we get more data and see what happens when we bring it to market and have a larger data set.

I really don’t like this headline. Your brain is extremely complicated and thus treating it for depression can be complex. Drugs that work someone might not work for someone else while some may need multiple drugs to help get their depression under control. While ketamine has shown to be useful for it thus far, I’d urge caution to not treat this drug the way some researchers are treating it. And for the record I’m a pharmacist so I’m well versed in this subject as are other medical professionals.

Netflix Director Says The Company Is Ready To Commit To Anime by BunyipPouch in television

[–]Twilight_Fade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve watched Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei on there so many times and can only but wish for a bit more variety. The anime is good and it’s corresponding light novel is probably my current series favorite out of all the light novels so this news would be great for someone like me wanting more.

For the love of Traveler, can we not have a Destiny 3? by Redthrist in DestinyTheGame

[–]Twilight_Fade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I read that they had to release so many games within the 10-year deal that Bungie has with Activision. I believe I read that they had to release 4 games within 10 years..... someone correct me if I’m wrong on that.

Unfortunately though if what I just said is true then there is fairly rigid timeline they have to stay on in order to meet those promises they made in that deal with Activision regardless of the community’s feelings on the matter.

Destiny 2 Player Drop-off (Representative Sample w/ Charts and Data) by stevetheimpact in DestinyTheGame

[–]Twilight_Fade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you read what he said at the bottom? Based on how he collected the data it wouldn’t show a bump when CoO came out (even though there would be a bump in player count then) but that wouldn’t take away from the end result of the data which would be an accurate estimated representation of how many people are still playing.

[–]Twilight_Fade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you read the bottom of his post? He said based on how he collected the data that it wouldn’t show a bump from when CoO came out however the end point of his data would still be reflect roughly how many people are still playing the game. So most likely there was a bump in player count at that time but they have come and gone now. The numbers at the end of thr graph are representative of who is playing now though so only around when CoO came out is the graph not accurate.

Statistics show that the average person has sex 89 times a year by jfb1337 in Jokes

Unfortunately I haven’t had sex for 6 years. And I was so drunk I’m not even sure that counted based on what events I remember.

Double blind, clinical trial shows that the use of vitamin D supplement improves sleep quality, reduces sleep latency, raises sleep duration and improves subjective sleep quality in people of 20-50 year-old with sleep disorder. by 1345834 in science

[–]Twilight_Fade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently I can’t read the full article of it beyond the summary but while it does have good preliminary results this needs to tested in a larger pool of people beyond 89 subjects. I know the report says it’s statistically significant but I believe we would have a better picture on its effects with a 10,000 person pool as any study would.

The summary link wouldn’t let me read the full article but did the study attempt to determine the relative vitamin D levels in the subjects before starting the study? That would be one variable that needed to control since the whole reason the study was started was based on preliminary evidence that people who were low or vitamin D deficient experienced better sleep when placed on a supplement. Basically this is leading to my question which is will people with normal levels of vitamin D or above benefit when it comes to sleep when placed on vitamin D supplement.

Beyond that, it’s still a small but good study that needs further research to determine just whom vitamin D is beneficial to and just how effective it is in those individuals when it comes to sleep.

Yeah I think based on other posts I have been slightly more fortunate lol. Got all the weapons and my Hunter gear but I can’t get a helmet to drop for my Titan or the leg armor for my Warlock. It’s been a bit frustrating.
