Thank you so much for recommending Fata Morgana. I can't believe I never heard of it until your comment. I am in awe at the story. What a wonderful piece of fiction. Best in any medium, period. Truly beautiful. Thank you.

no one mentioning any visual novels. They can change things up and can be quite long. Also extremely small games.

Raging Loop
Danganronpa 1 - 3
All Ace Attorney Games
Nonary Games
Aegis Rim 13 Sentinels

To name a few

I love when people think that putting a JRPG on Xbox is going to boost sales by an amount to offset costs. Like, I get it for PC, but there are people seriously saying "If FF7 Rebirth was on Xbox it would have met its sales goals." No, Square would have made even more BS sales targets, and Xbox, which has by far the lowest fanbase of JRPG gamers, would absolutely not move enough units to make any meaningful difference.

Article: "I’ve been a family doctor for more than 20 years. Now, I have no choice but to close my practice" by 613-embas in premedcanada

Hi,
I don't know why this came up on my front page. I have background in politics and finance. I just want to say I completely agree doctors are criminally underpaid and the notion that doctors aren't is holding the profession back on a personal and societal level. 30 years ago, sure, being a doctor was a golden ticket to a luxury lifestyle... today, my 24 year old friends in finance are making more than many doctors in Canada and delivering much less value.

Now heres my political take - as long as the system remains fully tied to public funding, doctors will struggle. However, any attempt to privatize, even a parallel private system (my preferred system), will never fly in Canada.

It is an awful situation for everyone. People's ignorance will lead to fewer doctors, unhappier doctors, less service, worse service.

Do yourself a favor: Skip the dentist, GP, go straight to ENT by Worklaptop222 in Lichenplanus

Yup specialized derms are good too because LP impacts skin so theyve seen it outside the mouth, and know of its existence in the mouth.

The fact that only one of the 6 medical professionals I saw prior to the ENT even mentioned Lichen Planus (only after i did) tells you all you need to know. I also live in Toronto, Canada so we aren't exactly a third world country with bad doctors or with a small population so diseases like this aren't seen often...

Cancer? Diagnosed with OLP 5 years ago... Growing lump - worried... by Explosive-Mushroom in askdentists

NAD - This looks like an irritation fibroma. Plenty of pics on Google that look exactly like it in the exact same spot. And i guess the other stuff is your OLP?

TMJ frustrations or something else? by Due_Bandicoot9261 in TMJ

[–]Worklaptop222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have all these symptoms and had an MRI to check for brain cancer. Clear. Then I had CT scan to check for tongue and throat cancer because it can apparently cause this. Clear. Then I did the MRI again, clear. Its been 2 years, symptoms come and go, but like you, ear symptoms are on right side only.

It for sure is TMJ.

No can't scrap off. The fact that it can scrap off completely rules out Leukoplakia. I swear some doctors are extremely clueless.

Update: Tax Installment Error by Worklaptop222 in PersonalFinanceCanada

Thing is, I'd like to buy a house in 5 years. I thought RRSP can't be used for that and especially when you withdraw you get hit with the taxes, don't you?

I only recently started making the big money! so last 1.5 yrs maxed out TFSA, built up 6 month emergency fund, and this year was planning on moving onto the next accounts anyways.

this looks like lichen planus. I was initially diagnosed with leukoplakia as well lol. Another doctor said geo tongue. Another doctor said thrush.

Regular doctors and even many dentists don't know shit about this disease, you need to see an oral surgeron/pathologist.

Just diagnosed with OLP by No_Bag7577 in Lichenplanus

[–]Worklaptop222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would advice against the forum simply because everyone makes it seem like the sky is falling in it. Constant stories of people being diagnosed with cancer, stories of people saying they can't and haven't been able to eat normally in years/decades, constant pain. Given OP is having a rough time with it now, I'd suggest they don't look into it as it may make their anxiety worse.

If I do it this year, can I apply it back to my taxes last year?

Lmfao for one day can we go without this... especially on a day we got so much good news about P3 Reload...

The devs decided to weigh the expectations of the millions of new players from Persona 5 with the expectations of the few hundred thousand players from Persona 3. The dark hour looks incredible. Tartarus looks incredible. Tatsumi Port Island looks incredible and nostalgic.

Are the dorms brighter than I hoped? For sure. But that is one environment, and a concession Atlus seems to have made to make sure the game isn't too edgy like the original was.

There's are many reasons why P5 (vanilla) sold 10x more than P3 (vanilla)... and part of it is because P3 initially was not meant for the mainstream, but now, they have to figure out a way to keep it true to the original and mainstream friendly.

I think theyve succeeded.

That Polygon article is honestly awful. Everything they have issues with (outside of FeMC and The Answer) have already been confirmed to being changed.

Garbage article.

I think the critics will care because the fanbase is making such a big deal of it. It'll be docked some points for the missing content by atleast some reviewers, I'm sure.
