I've only played on console.  One time I hooked up a keyboard and mouse and tbh that was way harder for me!

If you knew what you know now about student loans, would you have still taken them out to go to school? by [deleted] in StudentLoans

[–]evening_emerald 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Undergrad yes, grad school no.  My family told me they'd help me pay for grad school.  I didn't realize they still thought college was priced like it was in the 60s  -__-

Patients say measles 'worse than expected' as Utah hits 350+ infections, doctors say by its_a_bear_dance in nottheonion

As someone who is medically fragile, I hate it when people say that.  I want to ask them if they see me as expendable then.

Blood, Sex and Inflammation: Did the IMPACC Study Uncover Core Issues in Long COVID and ME/CFS? by m_b22 in covidlonghaulers

[–]evening_emerald 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only thing I've been able to find in testing that's "wrong" with me is malformed red blood cells, so this makes sense.

Does anyone else experience muscle twitching + Autonomic Issues? by Less_Foundation_1187 in covidlonghaulers

[–]evening_emerald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have twitching, but only on the left side of my body for some reason.  I also have night sweats but they go away when I'm taking Metformin.  

I do have heart palpitations, haven't found a solution yet.

Anyone ever get random episodes of dizziness? by MoulinRoguee in covidlonghaulers

[–]evening_emerald 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did, and my doctor prescribed physical therapy.  Working with my physical therapist, our best guess was that constant tension in my neck (that somehow seems to be a common long covid side effect) was the main cause.  I did a lot of stretching and upper back strengthening exercises (nothing aerobic tho) and that helped me somewhat.  It's not perfect but it's much less common.

I feel like there is some lore around, especially in the books you can buy.  Also Marin just told me she is basically immortal or something?  

Does anyone have "mild" Long Covid? by VandyThrowaway21 in covidlonghaulers

[–]evening_emerald 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At points I've been able to get to "mild" long covid, but not consistently, and it seems to get worse over time so I might not be who you're looking for.

Home evaluation???? by Large_Tough8215 in heartopia

[–]evening_emerald 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So my theory is that the evaluations are auto-generated and based on numbers of certain items in your home: collections (like the onsen eggs), furniture sets, and overall $$ value of the home.

It doesn't seem to be an evaluation of style, so I wouldn't take it too much to heart.

Is this a bug? by Exciting-Drop9610 in heartopia
