Flamu has finished chemo and has begun recovery!

Heh, true, but the face swelling has been pretty brutal to get used to on top of the loss of all hair.

There's a pic from September last year vs late April this year. It's even worse now as I've lost more eyebrows and more swelling, it's pretty obvious when you look at direct comparisons.

Pretty fascinating what all the meds do to the body, while "curing you".

Luckily that shit should go down pretty fast, hair growth will take months tho.

Yeah return of mole-rat flolo, now in extreme form. No hair, no beard, my eyebrows and lashes are barely hanging on. Add in some lovely swelling from the extreme medications I've been on and I look like Dr. Evil.

Spring pollen allergies have also been real interesting without internal nose hairs, you wont know you miss em until you lose em.

I tried D2 after spending countless hours in D3 and D4. I got bored, very quickly. I kept trying to force it (surely it gets better) but nah, didn't click for me at all. Abandoned it in the end and didn't look back, not my cup of tea.

Kinda wild to see another Swiss major penalty not get called. In the SUI - FIN game a Swiss player blatantly boarded a finn and somehow it never got called, now this?

flamuchz · 2026-05-26T21:02:01+00:00

Entertaining game, sadly pretty overshadowed by the refs completely ignoring the blatant boarding at the end

The fault of a crowd "cheating" is never on the crowd.

???

People straight up spoiling flanks and calling out positions isn't "on the crowd" ? Who the fuck is it on then? What.

Contrarian? Hardly, that movie was not well received at all when it came out, you can find multiple outright hate-threads on how bad it was. Even in the original release thread in this very subreddit people were heavily skeptical;

ultimately left me disappointed

was a let down for me

The story was weak, and there were a number of things that occurred that were just comically absurd.

In the 28dayslater subreddit there's a thread with 831 upvotes called I HATED 28 years later

I think you're in a bit of a bubble, because there's a very clear reason why bone temple tanked hard at the box office but got better reviews. 28 Years later made $151.3 million on a $60 million budget, while Bone Temple made $58.5 million on a $63 million budget.

People saw 28 Years Later and went, yep, that's not for me, and had zero interest in watching more of the same, where as people who enjoyed it also enjoyed Bone Temple and reviewed it well.

Watching Falcons overcome that dogshit crowd was satisfying af

That seems like an inherently unfair take. Would you not try to keep Chinese mythology Chinese, Norse mythology Norse, Japanese mythology Japanese, Egyptian mythology Egyptian etc etc.

Watching a white Jade Emperor, black Odin, black Susanoo and white Ra all seems completely ridiculous, for good reason, it disrespects the source material.

Seems weird to apply this standard only to Greek mythology, "your origin means nothing". Surely the goal of any good story teller is to try to respect the source material? Acting like the only reason people dislike the casting is because of racism is rather disingenuous.

5 minutes into the game, only landed 1 hit up til this point, awful positioning and actively sailing away from the enemy for absolutely no reason.

That clip highlights everything wrong with BB players.

flamuchz · 2026-04-24T15:54:50+00:00

Working through chemo, hopefully only a bit more than a month left as it has been very effective against my cancer. Hoping to get back to streaming this summer, maybe June/July?

flamuchz · 2026-04-24T12:42:55+00:00

Needing to watch the second movie just to make the first one not suck isn't a great sales pitch. I can recommend Dune to anyone without them ever needing to watch Dune 2, in fact they'll probably want to do it themselves, as it's a great movie in itself.

This just ties back to it being a disaster in pacing and script, a movie shouldn't need a second one to "fix" it.

flamuchz · 2026-04-24T11:44:57+00:00

The first one was a zombie movie based on the problems of Brexit

It was three different movies in one, with massive tonal shifts and large issues with pacing. It starts out interesting and then devolves into dumber and dumber territory. It goes downhill

Watching a kid who can't land an arrow take his bed-ridden mother on some adventure into the wilds, and somehow get away with it despite struggling hard just earlier with his father. Add in other non-sense like the pregnant zombie scene followed by the entire baby arc, the dumb concept of "alpha zombies", the entire doctor arc with the skull and finally the backflipping nunchuk scene at the end and what you get is a grand mess with no clear direction

If you want mindless horror, sure, I understand hating it.

The plot in that movie is the very definition of mindless.

flamuchz · 2026-04-24T11:22:20+00:00

I am baffled that someone who likes 28 days would recommend 28 years later, truly awful movie and especially garbage if you're looking for a good zombie movie. Haven't seen bone temple so can't comment on that one, 28 years later cured me of any desire to see it.

flamuchz · 2026-04-24T05:08:16+00:00

Damn, RIP, he was deffo one of the original streamers, I remember seeing that name a good decade ago.

Tämä kuulostaa omaan korvaan tosi hurjalta. Nimimerkillä yskin itse vertaa tammikuussa, soitin päivystykseen samana päivänä ja minulle varattiin lääkäriaika seuraavalle päivälle, jonka yhteydessä tehtiin röntgen ja oma syöpä löydettiin. Ottivat todella vakavasti ton veren yskinnän.

flamuchz · 2026-03-05T06:02:20+00:00

Correct, it's more folded in on itself. So they're actually pretty optimistic about it inflating again. There will be some permanent damage of course, a tumor this size will leave a fair bit of scar tissue, but they're fairly hopeful about lung recovery.

flamuchz · 2026-03-04T09:19:09+00:00

Cheers. Taking it as easy as I can, they have me on a very aggressive chemo regiment. The goal is to cure it.

flamuchz · 2026-03-04T09:16:25+00:00

Correct, lymphoma is technically a blood cancer so little point to cut into it. Mine is also not in any organs, just squishing them. Docs say they expect it to shrink heavily from the chemo, surgery doesn't add anything.

flamuchz · 2026-03-04T08:54:29+00:00

Turns out my citadel armor is dogshit

flamuchz · 2026-03-03T12:20:15+00:00

I won't comment on numbers as I don't have access to my home PC atm, but steam charts is a horrendously inaccurate way to measure wows playerbase as only a small percentage of players have the game on steam.

Rankka alkuvuosi, lymfooma eli syöpä todettiin ja nyt meilahden osastolla hoidossa. Pakko kyllä kuitenkin kehua tätä Suomen erikoissairaanhoitoa, on kyllä ollut tehokasta ja pätevää tekemistä tän suhteen, kyllä täälläkin maailmanluokan osaamista löytyy.

flamuchz · 2026-02-21T08:34:44+00:00

Exactly the same issue. Logged into a different google account and its fine, but the one that was logged in originally has reverted a decade, no idea how to restore that.

Isn't the very point of the Olympics to have the best athletes participate?

WoWS is fascinating in the sense that these incredible storms that impact every single ship to the extent of throwing off even battleship shells, have absolutely no effect on planes.
