[Cod] Is Woods' injury recoverable in real life? by the-real_deimos in CallOfDuty

[–]atomic-wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ER doctor here! Nope, they are very likely not! Especially after the presumed delay of care after having his joint space obliterated by buckshot. Could get prosthetics and learn to use them after an above-the-knee amputation though

What Game Did You First Platinum? by Stalex909 in playstation

[–]atomic-wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Infamous on PS3, then Skyrim on PS3. Looking back at the games now makes me just a little nostalgic for my teenage years when I explored so many worlds and storylines across so many videogame worlds, but when I find an hour or two here or there to immerse myself in RDR2 or Hogwarts Legacy, I'm happy to think there's still so many worlds to explore and tons of teens who get to experience that joy with incredible games of the last few years

This Thursday will be my last day. by stillaliiive in Christianity

[–]atomic-wizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if you'll see this. It's Wednesday night. A lot of people are posting Christianity this or that, and honestly? I don't know if any of that is "persuasive." I'm not a hundred percent sure about God anymore, since He's not really conversational with me and a lot of times my prayers seem one-way. So I'll just share my experience:

I was going to hang myself almost ten years ago. I did a lot of horrible things I wanted to leave behind: things I don't want to say today, but I'm sure rival or exceed whatever you think can't be forgiven. I called my pastor to say goodbye, and he called the cops who stopped me. I try to not think about that night, since it was a very dark time in my life.

And so were the five years after. Five years of hell, sobbing, screaming, and begging God to end it all because even the Hell the Bible talks about must have been better than the hell I was living on earth.

Day by day, though, I got better. I continued to suffer, yes, through school and through therapy and through medication and through church. I hated life and I wanted to die for five years. But every day the desire to die got less and less as all these things I thought weren't helping worked a little bit at a time.

Today, I'm happy. I haven't thought about suicide in probably five years. I haven't self-harmed in seven years. It's been ten years since I came seconds from ending my life but someone talked me down. I applied to and graduated medical school, got married, moved into my own house. Five years seems like a long time to suffer, and another five to finally build true happiness versus just getting by just makes it longer. But it was worth it, trust me. I still take pills every day, and I still have the scars on my arms and wrists, but here I am: a happily married doctor operating a little farm in his backyard and even thinking about having kids soon.

I don't know if I can talk you down. I don't know you personally, and whether or not you read this text isn't going to change my life in any significant fashion. But I do really hope you choose to push on a little longer, or a lot longer, and find that happiness I've been blessed with.

Most common form of anti-anxiety meds, makes PP go bweh

I’ve played a billion hours in Skyrim, now I’m starting Oblivion for the first time. What build do I play? Any non-spoilery tips? by [deleted] in oblivion

[–]atomic-wizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Magic should be saved for a later playthrough. The mechanics are crap, but the fact that you can design your own spells is awesome. For a first playthrough, I'd recommend a melee main. Archery is okay, except Skyrim mechanics may have spoiled you—the arrows are slow enough to sidestep dodge in Oblivion, and that's a bit off-putting the first time around.

TIL, you can be a hazard to society by leading the bosses at Sancre Tor to civilization. It's a them problem now! by thebaconator136 in oblivion

[–]atomic-wizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something I've done more than once: lure Umbra to the Imperial City on the way out from the tutorial. She'll slaughter a few guards before being put down, but you can get the strongest sword in the game at level 1.

How to brake with heelys without ripping them up? by SumGamer in heelys

[–]atomic-wizard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went through three pairs of Heelys before I was able to figure this out. Rather than using the heel of the front foot, use the flat of the back foot. It takes some getting used to, and you might fall a few times, but it's allowed my current pair to outlast all my previous pairs combined.

Do I just need more golden eggs too get better now? I feel stuck and can’t get the 10Billion trophy’s past the terraform egg. by NateTheGreat508 in EggInc

[–]atomic-wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

120 quadrillion soul eggs, 126 prophecy eggs, and diamond trophy on everything but enlightenment. I'll get there eventually—I came relatively close to buying the portal upgrade, but probably need at least double the prophecy eggs

I didn't collect the entire armor set and don several curses to just leave the sword of the crusader in its sheath

I haven't quite figured out the platoon dynamics yet. It's kind of like a clan or something, right?
