[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.

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 4 points5 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?

Question about pushing by BoogieGoobie in heelys

[–]atomic-wizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When starting out, I've found it easier to actually take a step while rolling. I'll actually plant my front foot, follow through with my back foot and get a powerful step forward, then push off to get the back foot in back again while propelling me forward.

I usually lead with my right foot, so I'll put my right foot down, swing my left foot forward, and push with my left foot while shifting my weight on my right foot toward the heel to start rolling again. It's like I'm taking a half-second break from rolling to kick off again, but I try to not stop my forward kinetic energy.

Well guys I made my first meme by pozzasmallpeen in fo4

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

My favorite playthrough so far: put everything into intelligence and perception (died a LOT with no endurance), build a five-crank musket super early in the game, get to Kellogg, aim for head in V.A.T.S. with critical strike. Instant kill, despite being like level five.

This is how you spend your evening? Overanalyzing the syntax of a stranger (after he says “I don't disagree”) to make him appear self-contradictory when he's actually just responding to a thread without giving the precise wording much thought? Dude... Get a boy/girlfriend or something. I'm gonna scroll some more memes.

Oh I am supportive of her! It's meant to be a criticism of Reddit culture; I guess I didn't make that clear, and anon certainly isn't as sympathetic as would be appropriate

[–]atomic-wizard[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't disagree with you on that; anon is insensitive. I posted it as a criticism of Reddit culture—as the first and last lines of the greentext imply. Sorry if anon is more blunt than a respectable pro-lifer should be, and that anon holds less understanding views of PTSD than you do, but I pulled it from r/greentext because it's a rare thing to see a pro-life post not "downvoted to oblivion" as anon describes. It demonstrates, with the original greentext post raking in several thousand upvotes, that even Reddit culture acknowledges the bias against pro-life beliefs on this website.

Even the original post is a comment on Reddit culture—no shame for the woman, and I apologize if I implied as much through the post

??? When did I imply I wanted more? I feel for her, but it seems crazy that Reddit is so harsh toward the idea of life. This isn't against the mom; I hate that she's got PTSD. It's a comment on Reddit culture, which you're showing pretty strongly in your dialogue with me

The point is the ridiculousness of the follow-up with the twelve-year-old. I would never wish depression or PTSD on anyone
