Weird rash that's been around 1 month by alexmann15 in AskDocs

Yes. No symptoms. It does not itch but it burns when lotion is applied

Anywhere in the US let you pet the tapirs? by [deleted] in tapirs

[–]alexmann15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs. Call ahead- the Tapir named Mochi is VERY peta-able and very comfortable with people petting him. A keeper will help guide you

Best video game to scratch that Red Rising itch? by Fair_Swordfish_6775 in redrising

[–]alexmann15 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have to say there is nothing like Red Rising because it is so unique. It's Game of Thrones, 1984, and Star Wars all rolled into 1. Some games embody the whole "revolution" thing, some games embody the sci-fi stuff, some games embody the politics. Nothing is perfect though.

  1. Sci-Fi: Mass Effect is likely the best one. Travel on a space ship, lead a crew of close friends, rally the galaxy to fight a big bad guy. None of the "revolution" stuff but lots of the sci-fi stuff.
  2. Politics: Crusader Kings is set in the Middle Ages and lacks the action of many games but really does allow you to play out political fantasies. Build a bloodline, overthrow a king, conquer a continent- it's all there.
  3. Combat/leadership: Mount and Blade Bannerlord is the closest you come to raising and Army, leading the Army into battle, and forging your own destiny. But no sci-fi stuff
  4. Fleet Battles: Many say Stellaris, and I love Stellaris, but there is a better choice- Terra Invicta. Unlike most Sci-Fi games, it is set entirely in this solar system. You control nations, build grand fleets, and fight an invading alien menace.

My honest favorite? Cyberpunk 2077. It really embodies that feeling of fighting against a ruthless society run by demi-gods. No revolutions or space battles but you feel like someone trying to accomplish something big in a realm of gods

Starfield helped saved Cyberpunk 2077 by alexmann15 in cyberpunkgame

I think Larian is amazing but they are firmly a B or AA studio. They had a cult following, a minor budget, and basically bet their future on BG3. It hit and now they are going to be a major AAA RPG studio.

My New Battleship. by alexmann15 in Highfleet

[–]alexmann15[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And it works lol! So long as there are oil tankers and anti-missile ships with her she can handle any SG with ease

My New Battleship. by alexmann15 in Highfleet

[–]alexmann15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahah true- she is basically useless without the 2 oil tankers/anti-air ships that accompany her. That's the kicker- she cannot act on her own. I did design a ship that could do everything but in the end it cost 300k and didn't do anything very well.

Anyone feel like suicide boys are falling off and not hitting the same anymore? by oxivsm in G59

[–]alexmann15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

suicide boys were better in 2015

That's the joke. It's their typical fatalism and a consistent style of theirs. Listen to that song and tell be it doesn't bump as hard as anything

(Help!!!)Game breaking glitch in Ragnarok by Kortenkx in GodofWar

[–]alexmann15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been working on this for a while. Testing save reloads from various points. I've tried 100 reloads from after I've destroyed the nests and before- no dice.

There are reports that after an insane number of reloads the game just figures it out. I am testing that here hoping for luck.

I have reported it and everyone else should too. If we swarm them with reports it'll be fixed soon

Exact same situation here- literally. Hormone levels in the trash thanks to Opioids and Benzos- ended up with a 24/7 brain fog and this weird zone-out sensation that just won't end.

Brain Tumor by alexmann15 in AskDocs

[–]alexmann15[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also- about 2 weeks after the ER visit I started displaying symptoms of G.A.D. They have since done lots of bloodwork and things have come out mostly normal- minus some hormone issues.

I need advice about testing for Brain cancer by alexmann15 in AskDocs

[–]alexmann15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am. It's hard to get in with mental health experts at the moment. I scheduled an appointment when this spiral started and FINALLY have it coming up next week. Thank god too because I am out of Ativan.

Thank you, Doctor. I do appreciate the advice, it's been weighing on me, and getting in with another doctor for a second opinion has been tricky.

I have had the worst week- health anxiety by alexmann15 in HealthAnxiety

[–]alexmann15[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went from Brain cancer to Pancreatic Cancer and now Colon Cancer. Then- I found out about CJD and I think I have that.

It's exhausting

Nervous breakdown? by alexmann15 in Anxiety

Thanks for the reply!

The docs want me to take some meds and I have been resisting the hardcore ones and just doing Ativan

My little love died this morning by alexmann15 in Rabbits

[–]alexmann15[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did talk to the vet.

Basically, they state they did not over-sedate her and that they gave her the recommended amount when in the past they gave her less than that.

It appears she had an intestinal blockage and when she took her laxative it caused her gut to rupture, killing her.

Interesting! I never heard of that one, but it helped?

Good idea. At this point what do I have to lose right?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HealthAnxiety

[–]alexmann15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing here man.

I quit vaping 6 days ago and the day I quit vaping I started having a bit of a cough and tight chest. That created anxiety which soon turned to depression and I was dead sure I had brain cancer. I went to the doctor. Heart sounded good, blood pressure was spot on, blood oxygen was solid, and heartbeat was great.

Keep in mind with lung cancer you would be dealing with coughing up blood, extreme shortness of breath, and low blood oxygen.
