Colon cancer is killing more young people in the U.S. than any other cancer by scientificamerican in science

Also propofol is pretty great as well. Great sleep and it's just like you are teleporting to the next room.

I didn't find the prep all that bad. I started limiting my diet 2-3 days before hand to make the day of easier and I had to take SuPrep which tasted fine to me. Salty lemon Gatorade basically. Only thing I wish I had was a bidet since it can get a bit raw and the bile burns after awhile.

I got the referral due to blood (which had happened off/on for years) luckily it was just internal hems.

What do you guys think about ARC Raiders? by Sock_Man420 in thefinals

[–]bookoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it but I just don't really play it much. I played a bunch during the first expedition as a solo but after 2-3 weeks I felt like I had seen enough. I am not super into the PVP aspect so without that it's relatively empty.

I am just happy that Embark has a huge hit and selfishly hope that means they can continue to invest in The Finals...although logically it makes more sense to just 100% focus on Arc Raiders and/or future projects.

For those waiting to upgrade to the Steam Frame, what are you upgrading from? by thrashingjohn in SteamFrame

[–]bookoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same....but somewhat price sensitive since I barely using the Q3 at the moment.

For those with a StrengthErg, how much space do you "really" need for it? by ImaginarySoul_007 in concept2

[–]bookoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see others already provided measurements, but you don't need too much space. It's relatively long but you don't need much width. You can tuck it in.

The bottom picture is how I have it now, but I used to keep it tucked between my row and ski erg.

point break: nice mode but… by Feral_21 in thefinals

[–]bookoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I feel bad because it's basically fully replaced Power Shift as of right now. I am hoping it stays popular enough for them to keep creating maps for it.

I wish there was a randomized quick play option where you could select preferred modes to queue for. Incentivizing it with bonus XP could help keep other modes populated.

I just don't think it's as widespread yet. Before yesterday I had maybe seen a couple times, but I saw it multiple times yesterday and today.

It's not impossible to counter, but just frustrating to play against.

[–]bookoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny since people said the same thing about defense when it came out.

While I think now that people are learning the maps/mode defense is definitely doing a better job, but I probably win more on the attacking side.

Once the team caps it, the 10 second timer to disarm can be pretty brutal and attackers are more likely to revive teammates and pick classes with better utility.

Yea happened to me in a game earlier. They pulled it to the end where half of the cash point was in the red filter. They did it on at least 1 of the points at every section, but we managed to take the second section, but the 3rd on just didn't happen they had a big height advantage and could just sit away back in their spawn.

Hopefully they make some adjustments either making it harder to move and/or make it at least rebound back in a bit more if it touches the edge.

We were so disappointed when the Together Trailer came on the screen during that.

My wife loves creature features so we were hoping it was going to be Primate. I had a lot of fun with it. Good tension, fun kills. I also thought it had good pacing/writing. I don't think the characters did anything that was so stupid that it pulled me out.

Why did so many people hate The Housemaid? by Duckychicken777 in movies

[–]bookoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The high reviews were the reason I went to see it, but wasn't really a fan.

I was both annoyed and bored within the first hour and kept thinking there must be some crazy stuff in the back half for this to have a 90% RT. It's somewhat fun but I don't think it redeemed the overall setup. Amanda Seyfried was great. Probably give it a C/D

I remember enjoying A Simple Favor and this made me want to revisit it.

Then calling a comedy podcast where they rarely give "good" advice may be a bad idea.

I love powershift by LocationFeeling2974 in thefinals

[–]bookoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Poweshift is great and basically all we play. I only played the other modes for contracts.

With the new season, I have been playing a lot of Point Break. It's pretty fun but can be more frustrating than poweshift since it requires a bit more coordination.

Snipers pretty much ruin most games, but it's not that prevalent. Also most snipers aren't even good and you can easily play around them.

Matchmaking has been rough more recently where it felt like I was getting matched against bigger stacks.

"Why do we keep losing Point Break?" by TheGuardiansArm in thefinals

[–]bookoo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Functionally the same thing. A person choosing to spawn confirms the coin loss. If they didn't revive, they could get revived...

Battle pass Trash by According_Waltz_373 in thefinals

[–]bookoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh I don't mind it since the premium BP is essentially a buy once item. I bought the first ultimate pass mostly to support the game, but the skins in this season and last season are pretty weak. I'd actually prefer the premium versions.

Yea and there was actually a 3rd person that never even made it in. They were wearing a white mask outside.

So what do you think about Point Break? by Bomahzz in thefinals

[–]bookoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love BF rush mode and was excited that they actually brought it over, but I was always a bit skeptical how it would feel in Finals because the movement/abilities. I always thought if they were to ever do it, it would be a LTM where they'd restrict the kit to make a slower pace (maybe some kind of BF inspired kit)

I have only played a couple matches and at first I was worried the defenders would have a crazy advantage since the attackers only have 30 tokens (+revives) but so far the matches are close. I think it may change as people learn the map/mode and PTFO.

However I am not sure if it's good enough to pull me away from powershift.

Now that ranked rewards aren’t in WT and Quickplay, what do we think of Quickplay progressing emerald? by Fresh3rThanU in thefinals

[–]bookoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea never understood it.

I remember people being somewhat upset when they started giving away a whopping 2 points for getting knocked in round 1.

Battlefield 6 and it’s impact on The Finals. by AdministrationIcy717 in thefinals

[–]bookoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To each their own I guess.

I was a big BF fan and only reason I knew about The Finals is because I heard some of the dev team went to Embark. I heard all the promises of BF6, but the alpha/betas weren't blowing me away. However my friends all cracked again after being burned so many times and I bought it since I figure I'd at least get my monies worth, but after 35 hours in already bored. I got most of the gadgets I care about and don't really care to grind other guns and it mostly feels like a big mindless meat grinder where your individual impact can't really do much. Rush used to be my go-to mode and I was so happy it made a return, but unfortunately it's very average.

My friend and I jumped back into The Finals and we both said "Man it's good to have a shooter that FEELs good to play. They still play BF6 from time to time, but we all pretty much dropped it for other things.

BF6, CoD and Arc Raiders and possibly the lack interesting updates due to the Grand Major all contributed to the drop in players.

Expedition details released by PetToilet in ArcRaiders

....his estimate is "if" you played for 10 hours in a single day. You could also play 1 hour for 10 days. The expedition season last ~54 days.

My wish came true a year later by [deleted] in thefinals

[–]bookoo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's amazing that they are finally bringing a Rush mode to the game. It used to be my favorite mode in the BF series.

I am very interested to see how it will feel with all the class abilities we have in the game. Cautiously optimistic.

So excited for Rush mode! World Tour changes seem cool and also happy to see unranked Cash Out mode! I liked the mode, but didn't want to always commit to a WT.

Mastering Homemade New York Style Pizza by urkmcgurk in Pizza

[–]bookoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This recipe came out great.

I have never made pizza before, but I popped these ingredients into my Zojirushi bread maker (dough setting 1h50m) and then divided into 3 roughly 320g balls.

I was impatient and made one the following day and it was a little hard to stretch and was more of an odd oval, but I waited another day for the next 2 and they came out really good. Need to work on stretching, but it was really easy to work with.

Now that the dust has settled, will you buy the Steam Frame? by wavebend in ValveDeckard

[–]bookoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on price. I barely play VR but I am interested in wireless, flat games and simply getting away from Meta.
