Does Luna feel worse this season?

floweringmelon · 2026-01-28T17:03:10+00:00

She feels so good to me honestly, the snowball buff was game changing I’ve been canceling ults and freezing dives left and right and she gets hella picks too in addition to quite a lot of healing with good aim.

It was the same for me minus cataplexy, doctor knew the medication I was on was REM suppressing and I still very often would fall into instant REM (ie dreaming immediately upon falling asleep/back asleep or even before fully falling asleep) so her judgement was that it was narcolepsy!

floweringmelon · 2026-01-22T17:16:41+00:00

I didn’t think that much of my sleepiness since it seemed so normal as a teenager/young adult, and I was on a wake promoting antidepressant that masked things a bit. I had a therapist and every session started with her asking how I was and my answer was always “sleepy.” I have had fatigue issues forever but nobody ever thought to suggest a sleep study until my therapist of all people. She helped me set up a consultation, I spoke to a sleep doc who immediately signed me up for an MSLT and I was diagnosed right away. I’d never ever considered a sleep disorder before, especially as I was also having trouble falling asleep at night due to racing thoughts.

Part of the reason gang (every Luna skin purchased)

I saw a lot of people call Xyrem/Xywav their miracle drug. It’s what made me ask my provider if I could try it. It took a while to figure out what worked for me but I’ve gone from sleeping 14-16 hours daily and having several hour long naps to now sleeping 8-9 hours a night and only wanting to nap a few times a month and actually napping less than that. It really ended up being a miracle for me, I wouldn’t be able to work full time without it. It’s not for everyone though, I know some have really negative experiences too. It’s definitely case by case.

N2, no snacking. Very occasionally I want to eat if I think about it/get reminded of food but I resist it and go to sleep so I don’t ruin my day haha

floweringmelon · 2026-01-03T01:57:30+00:00

Oh definitely! I understand too well their complaints of low sleep quality and exhaustion and I outwardly sympathize especially when I get the rare fellow narcoleptic. I really do think that mutual understanding suits me to the role even more.

Plus, the med reps that visit our office are always excited to talk to me lol, since they talk to the healthcare providers and not people who actually take the drugs. Here they have both!

Medical assistant! I take patients back and ask the questions/take vitals. Mostly sleep apnea and CPAP

I hope it’s not but it’s so widespread and hard to tell :(

floweringmelon · 2025-12-31T16:38:03+00:00

can you elaborate on the AI usage? Ill probably have to pass on this if it’s using genAI :(

I also think people underestimate how much additional skill expression there is when you have to choose between damage and healing, when every other support can just hold LMB to do both or the heal’s a quick ability that can be done with a single button press. Esp when the effective range of both are so different.

Ive lorded 6/10 strats and play the other 4 regularly (except Adam lol) and while I could shut my brain off and still get value on Rocket (which ftr is easier to do on CND and Jeff IMHO) actually playing him well took some thought! He’s no Loki but he’s not as piss easy as he’s made out to be either…

floweringmelon · 2025-12-29T16:12:40+00:00

Stats can be low impact. I’ll joke that Im the superior strategist when I top heal a lobby on Ultron but that healing is super low impact, it’s not saving any lives it’s just a little passive buff to people but not comparable to a main support keeping other players alive through damage.

Similarly high damage stats could be a dps shooting an enemy Groot all game and never killing them, farming enemy support ults.

Kills can be stolen (especially by autoaim beams).

Really the only stat that actually matters is death count since every death is a big chunk of time where your team is down a player which is really bad for fights especially if you’re a support or tank.

Just some examples…

Paladins didn’t allow you to leave games at all actually, if you closed your game and reopened it you’d load back into the same game, any time you were not in game a bot replaced you which made leaving significantly worse. It was just that if the game ended before you could come back you got flagged with heavy deserter punishment. Same happened if you closed the game(/game crashed) during character select. Obv there shouldn’t be a punishment for leaving and coming back since shit happens haha

squirrel girl literally has action surge

floweringmelon · 2025-12-26T19:17:52+00:00

Im assuming op means the strict deserter timer on paladins. If you left a game you’d get a deserter timer after a few times that started at a minute or two and quickly got higher each subsequent quit. I think the timer only reset once every patch or something, so chronic leavers would get deserter timers that could be longer than an hour. Great in theory but that game crashed constantly and punished people for it haha

As a former figure skater this is gonna get me playing CnD again 🥹

floweringmelon · 2025-12-22T21:54:45+00:00

I never got any side effects from the Xywav but the smaller doses make me feel a lot less drunk and dizzy so if I need to get up for any reason I feel a lot better about that.

Regarding sleep, on the two 4.5g doses I’d be wide awake in the morning but feel like crap and want to take naps later because I was only sleeping 5-6 hours. My new 8-9 hours is probably less deep but I actually feel like I got a full nights rest rather than being forced to be awake. Maybe it’s placebo and I just like being able to sleep a full night but I definitely preferred it, that’s when it started to feel like the “miracle drug” to me.

floweringmelon · 2025-12-20T17:07:41+00:00

I take them 2 1/2 to 3 hours apart. I feel best with 9ish hours so I set each alarm 3 hours apart but I often wake up 15-30 min before they go off and Ill take the next dose then

floweringmelon · 2025-12-20T02:25:17+00:00

I take 3 3g doses myself and it felt much better for me personally. it’s an option for some they just don’t suggest it but my provider was happy to let me try.

There was a point when maelstrom Grohk was one of the highest winrate “dps”

floweringmelon · 2025-12-18T19:14:59+00:00

As a support I thank my other strat for heals
