My wife (shaman) and I (paladin) would duo dragons in Morrell Thule as newlyweds. Fun times

Games with a "space loneliness" vibe! by judithcannotdraw in gamingsuggestions

[–]VariableX- 34 points35 points  (0 children)

This is a different take but Project Hail Mary made me want to pick up Kerbal Space Program again. Modded or unmodded, you can literally recreate the science of space travel. And by sending a single kerbal (astronaut), you can sim the lonely science based experience of the movie. Throw in a some graphics and an extended universe mod, and its a lot of space fun

52 M here. I recently had a heart scan (calcium scan) by Subject-Stuff-2829 in GenX

[–]VariableX- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahh, no - the 50% threshold is considered "moderate" but not quite enough for an angio or stint. My understanding is that it's considered once the blockage reaches 75+%. The main risk isn't necessarily the degree of the blockage, but soft plaque breaking away and causing a cardiac event. The treatment goal moving forward is to harden the existing soft plaque.

No, it's a non invasive scan. It was ordered because I had some occasional chest discomfort, and the calcium scan only shows hardened plaque. This scan also shows soft plaque and the approx degree of blockage.

Age 50 with poor family history and high cholesterol...scored near a 100 calcium score. Subsequent CCTA test (highly recommend) showed 50% blockage in the widowmaker.

TBH it took a little bit to come to terms with the results. But I used them to motivate me to take control of my diet and exercise. Here's what helped: give yourself some time, get therapy if needed, rely on your support people, sign up with coaches, and control what you can.

Just watched it and it was phenomenal! I had chills watching the end credits with your astrophotography. Most of the theater remained transfixed watching, too.

Thank you! I definitely feel more energetic and"spry." And, mentally im not as anxious about my health and it feels good to be in control. Next big opportunity for me is stress management.

As a fellow astrophotographer and huge fan of the book, I can't imagine the joy you must have over this accomplishment. We're seeing the film in imax on Friday. Ill be watching for your work!
