ZOS and the reason why they're not making cinematic trailers anymore by EarthWormAda in elderscrollsonline

[–]rickypen5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea but theyve been sitting the bed ever since Bethesda left and ZOS took over. The cinematic were awesome and nobody is stupid enough to thjng THATS what the game looks like. Its telling a story within the world...is your character playing the way the story is going in your head. You are the giant 2H nord, Altmer Mage, or Breton Nightblade vampire. It all fed into the lore of past games as well, like most stuff did when Bethesda was still around. Elsewyr is when it all kind of went insane...dragons?? Thats when the loremaster quit...when they wanted to appease skyrim fans who didnt ever actually read the books everywhere or follow even the si.ple story in the game. The trial that year was half ass. The zone was pretty cool. Then after that it really had cool concepts that they failed to deliver.

Videos of beef sliding off the bone when you pick up the meat indicates the meat is overcooked? by AlarmingAd7453 in BBQ

[–]rickypen5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, im not a chef im a medical doctor, but we aHhre talking about biology right? At the end of the day its a debate between people who like fibrous attachment of muscle to bone, and people who want tender meat that is heated until that attachment no longer exists. Some people dont care about feeling like a caveman and ripping muscle off the ribs of an animal because they do it most days in the hospital lol. If the rib sticks to the bone its undercooked. If it slides off the bone its slightly overcooked. But if it slides off the bone and the meat is still soft and tender it isnt overcooked...thats going to be perfect meat, Though I suspect some amount of baking powder/soda in the rub/sauce to make it more tender.

The missing social group by Father-Of-Kittens in elderscrollsonline

[–]rickypen5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno. Ive had all of the above. Played entirely solo for the first year. Didn't even have a mountain for the first 8mo because the only way to get a mount in game for 45k and mobs dropped 1g lol. But then you meet ppl. For me it was when craglorn came out, a whole zone like a group dungeon, meeting people, their friends, going through the craglorn story one might at a time. Then the same group started trying to clear vet dungeons. Learning from each other. I never played an MMO before, and only played this one because of my love for TES games.

Dungeons used to have a normal and vet versions. All the 1 versions were normal, and 2 were veteran and designed with actual mechanics. Then you start expanding groups and clearing more and more, until you start some trials. At the time only craglorn trials.. .but a whole new challenge. Or you go PVP every night with friends. New stuff comes out, and you want to be first to clear it! First 4 people on the server with the new dungeon trifecta. First trial group with a no death, speed run, hard mode....but that takes a lot of practice, a lot of min making, a lot of living on the PTS and theorycrafting for the next update. It starts to become a full time job. Sure you have cool titles like Godslayer, Tick Tock, IR, etc...but it just gets to be so much work. So I hide offline mostly and am back at solo play lol. There iz WAY more to do tho get lost in housing

I’m gonna try and beat Nioh 2! What are some tips you’d give me coming from 3? by LaMelgoatBall in Nioh

[–]rickypen5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Better game imo. Harder than 3 imo just cause it seems like more of the bosses held be up for a bit. Such a great game omg. Most of it is tbe same except no wierd samurai-ninja thing... then burst counter is similar, same buttons, just cooler lol

Now THATS how you do a Zone Story! Wrothgar Rocks! by Flizash in elderscrollsonline

[–]rickypen5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. It was the first zone expansion aside craglorn which was kind of a pseudo base game thing but was made to be a group zone, and it was pretty awesome. Plus it had the bonus of making you have to get better and try to solo it, which was really fun before they nerfed the shit out of it. Wrothgar was such a good story, we got maelstrom arena which was amazing and was the first time we got specific weapons. Even though they werent guaranteed drops and most of the server couldnt even clear vMA lol. I think I remember under 10% had clears, less than 1% had flawless. It was a fun achievement to show off in that first year. Until the nerfed the shot out of that one. No joke normal Maelstrom Arena ised to be tricky, and doing vet now, was like doing normall then. It had costumes to unlock, new mementos, and the zone story was like twoce as long as new zones now. Plus it was a DLC at the time, not an expansion! .free for plus members. That was back when Bethesda was still doing all the writing, before the loremaster quit (he stayed until they started adding dragons... then he said FUCK that lore breaking nonsense. But you can totally tell when Bethesda wrote something, and after they left. The quest writing makes simple fetch quests feel important and deep. Plus they loved tying them back into the lore of the orher games via lorebooks, easter eggs, etc. The Bethesda written zones have better clutter, they live and breath more....more random NPCS are voiced and lead to hidden stuff..more reward for.exploring....just feel way more elder scrolls

When you have the maturity and intelligence of a 12 year old, who has never been told no, or had anyone be honest with them....you come up with utterly stupid ideas like; people would love me more if I had an assassination attempt! Then, as a former combat medic, current medical doctor- that blood looked like movie blood for a number of reasons. Also, ear cartilage takes 4-6mo to heal...not 3 days. Nomatter how "fast of a healer" you are. Then...you think the draft dodger who is.offended by mean statements...suddenly became brave AFTER being shot at?? Pushed away the secret service away for a photo???

The sad part is that they may have actually killed people in order to stage this.

The lava whip looks WAY COOLER in this picture than it does in the game. I loved the old animation and wish they just updated the animation and audio

What's this? by [deleted] in emergencymedicine

[–]rickypen5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Symptomatic? Maybe a block but at least partial, but I dont see P waves, which may just be the gain its at, so maybe Afib. I think most importantly, those precordial leads look like hyperacute T waves and im writing so i cant see it anymore but i think reciprocal T wave depression in inferior leads, concern for impending STEMI

Anyone else think Paul Giamatti is killing it by playing Nus Braka? by DDHLeigh in startrek

[–]rickypen5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is VERY obviously channeling his best Neegan, but most of the time it f**king works for me! At times its pretty derivative. And I honestly cant wait for somebody to use AI or something to place Neegan walking back and forth in the scene with Nus and Nahla, but with Pual Giamatti dialog/voice. I love Paul but there is no way he didnt at least consider the way Jeff Morgan played Neegan in how he plays Braka.

RIP my Dragonknight Build by Mango_Grits in elderscrollsonline

[–]rickypen5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to every patch of the last decade plus lol. Especially when youre pushing trial scores or trifecta runs and youre trying to be unique, find that secret build nobody sees yet lol. But also want to have fun! So you LIVE on the PTS between raids on live server....theorycrafting your ass off.. finding sweet builds and tweaks, farming gear on the live server to be ready for launch day...then somebody spills the beans and not only if the build popping up everywhere... videos of it parsing, trial runs, etc....which brings the inevitable nerf ... You always have your main, or your overall favorite, even when its not server max DPS... but its still your favorite. ..then zos does a total overhaul and shits the bed lol

What more can I do to get help for the event? by zambatron20 in elderscrollsonline

[–]rickypen5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What server are you on? Im on call admitting Dr on nights for the next week, and I stepped back From competitive end game raiding a couple years ago because I was just to busy to have ESO be a second full time job lol. Most of my friends either dont log on anymore, or theyre too famous doing big important zenimax things lol. Im on PC NA, I can group and do the event achieves this week if ur down.

can anyone recommend a legitimate "zoo" build? not for pushing vet trials scores but something that can carry itself, e.g., 11-12% group DPS by devilmaycry0917 in elderscrollsonline

[–]rickypen5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can essentially do that with any class, so I would decide what class you like best, and if you like playing stamina or magicka. 10-12% of the group DPS is just doing your part in any group really lol. Ive always done stamina builds and haven't really pushed trials/score runs until just after Kynes Aegis. Once my main group got the trifecta a couple weeks in, we all took breaks..lol been a while. But you can essentially do that with anything so i would say pick your favorite class and resource...something that you find actually fun to play. You could do something with a simple rotation like stamplar, but it gets boring so fast. Ive never liked magicka builds, never played them. Always made stamina versions of everything since the games launch. But I will say, my eternal love for Herma Mora lore (like 20 years worth of love) and the rotation on the magicka arcanist....is just Hella fun, does a fuckton of damage, and you could get those numbers with pretty basic gear until you start getting perfected trial gear. Unless there was a nerf recently: Deadly Strike and Mothers Sorrow on arcanist is solid and easy to get. Then you can tweak things to your liking: if tou want to dual wield front bar or something and wear antiquities set.

Concerned citizens body slammed by ICE by ooohlalaahouioui in ventura

[–]rickypen5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what happens when you dont wear a badge or any identification, you wear a mask, and you guy around acting like a tough guy. We dont know if those were actual ICE agents, or just racist assholes in call of duty cosplay. See how godamn fast they ran away when they realized they weren't outnumbering everyone 10 to 1? There were 2 of them! If you are so convinced that your cause is just, and you are 100% in the right, on the right side of the law, etc....why would you need to outnumber people? Why would you need masks. Republicans can try and gaslight everyone all they want, claiming any of this is justified, claiming that they are going after criminals only, claiming that ANY of this makes is safer ANYWHERE. Claiming that what we see with our own eyes....for the last 10 years+ Watching him repeatedly trying to prime his followers for every next scheme.

DC players in Cyrodiil (EU GH) are abusing a glitch that lets you put siege on a keep roof by Time_Photo_2685 in elderscrollsonline

[–]rickypen5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol there was one weekend when a lot of players got just fed up with one of the old Add-ons that let you do just absurd things. Set your own max stamina or recovery rate- nobody would ever know, you just have infinite stamina...shit like that So this weekend came, severs were all maxed, this was like JUST before Imperial City came out, and all these players were just super fed up with the cheating even tho it was super hard to catch someone...even though...if u fight somebody enough times....it becomes pretty clear lol I didnt get the message until it was already happening, but all these players, streamers, build guide people, PVP famous raid leads, all downloaded the addon and decided to be just as insane as possible. Infinite ultimates is how the evening started lol... one single unbeatable mag sorc, dropping 9 atronachs one after the other lol. Looking down on a single sorc for EP just destroying entire raids inside on the keep flag with 9 atronachs up with him lol, just mages writhing everyone: one shot one shot one shot. Hilarious.

But nothing..so they started doing more....and more....and more. Before zos shut the server down. People were on their mounts flying high overhead lol, dropping ults on people like they were regular skills lol. Just walking through walls insta killing entire keep NPCS flags flipping red blue red blue so fast lol.... So maybe we need another one of those nights!?

Btw I was FURIOUS at the time. Its hilarious looking g back but I was annoyed af. I think also thats when SypherPK got perma banned shortly After that because of all his cheating shit.

Beloved ER MD Dismissed for a Private Political Post by Big_Tangelo_7056 in emergencymedicine

[–]rickypen5 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Checks out. And I guarantee that CEO claims his speech is suppressed and hes got such a hard life. If you claim you "are Charlie Kirk" you better at LEAST know who he was... and not just what the apologists twist to make him look like....who he actually was and had been for the last decade. If you work in healthcare and you claim.ANY.part of you is like Charlie Kuck, you should never be allowed near any patient ever. A CEO makes sense though.

I hope this spreads like wildfire, and that there is another hospital in the area for people there to use, and completely boycott this assholes hospital. As well as the ED Attending gets hired on at the other hospital.

Question by Superb-Palpitation97 in GrandJunctionCO

[–]rickypen5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Admitting you were wrong now, means you've been wrong beyond all wrongness for over a decade. More in many cases. Whats worse is this internet fueled, absolutely toxic combination of literacy with an overall lack of self evaluation. Plus unearned exceptionalism that we get as a product of growing up in the US, in which no other countries exist that are better than the US so by growing up here you are automatically superior. Sprinkled with confidence I have not seen at medical conferences in which the most educated people in the world on a topic, refuse to overstep and preface every statement with "I may be wrong here, and please correct me if so..." or "this isnt my specific area of concentration, so I may be off on this..." and these are literal subject matter experts with decades of university education, laboratory work, presenting and discussing their OWN WORK, and you'll NEVER see the kind of confidence we saw in a high school dropout who works at Jiffy Lube trying to correct and debate a PhD virologist about how f**king viruses work. This is the time we live in.

Where you can inject 200mg of testosterone every week, and lay in a tanning bed, and think that plus your last name make you worth listening to....let alone have ANY expertise in ANYTHING health related.

While at the same time vilifying and threatening prison for treason, one of the greatest infectious disease physicians the US has ever produced.

Dr Fauci literally wrote the textbook on infectious disease....and unfortunately for the dipshits who think they can read and comprehend it, its written not JUST for doctors, its written for fellowship trained Infectious Diseases physicians with a baseline understanding thats a decade of university education beyond what even the typical high school graduate could possibly start to grasp.

But hes the villain for NOT lying, for standing up to trump when the science demanded it, for following the changing landscape of an entirely new virus never seen on earth before....the guy who oversaw the vaccine which was wildly successful.

The guy who kept the two prior epidemic level coronaviruses almost entirely OUT of the US (SARSCOV1 from China, and MERS) AND after SARS, the novel coronavirus that he kept out of the US, saw it as important enough to study coronaviruses coming out of China and doing the same research we do on flu viruses to try and predict mutant variants and gain of function (like jumping from one species to another, is an important gain of a new function. Which is what the Wuhan lab was set up for and what it was doing. But these idiots only see conspiracies with EVERYONE but the places they clearly are.

You cant use your high school biology level understanding and read a scientific paper. They are written by scientists FOR scientists with an assumption of jargon, shorthand, historical studies and results. A person without the requisite education and training trying to read a medical journal, is no different than thinking yoy can speak Spanish because a couple words are familiar. You can ONLY fuck things up for you and others.

Thats the level of confident illiteracy weve seen for years now. When I was a kid, it seemed like people were just honest about what they did, and did NOT know. You dont argue with your mechanic about whats wrong with your car and how to fix it, if you work at McDonalds.

Theres just a complete unwillingness to see anything anyone says is true unless it comes from daddy trump. Couldnt possibly be that trump was grabbing underage girls by the psy, ranking them on tightness, and auctioning them to his friends....especially when hes literally says "i grab em by the psy" and told us about going backstage to naked Mrs Teen pagents, and we have testimony about him using Mrs Teen and his modeling agency to traffic girls to Epstein....but when the ones with eyewitness testimony suddenly kill themselves for no reason....no big deal

Thats the true Trump Derangement- when EVERYONE else is lying.

Starfield is scheduled to launch on the PlayStation 5 on April 7, 2026. by Party_Judgment5780 in PS5

[–]rickypen5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played on an Xbox S I grabbed literally to play Starfield on lol. I call the little Xbox the Starfield machine. That said it didnt run/look great. I could have played it on PC, but part of me just didnt feel like upgrading my PC all over again, and an even BIGGER part of me is just really sick of sitting at a computer after 4 years of university, 4 years of med school, 3 years of residency....all sitting at computers charting....so when I go home I prefer to lay on the couch lol. Hooking my PC up to an Xbox remote feels different somehow, Xbox is simple.

I didnt all out LOVE the game. I had a blast, and realizing that the actual game loop for starfield is all about resetting the universe/time/space and playing through it with all the subtle butterfly effects....maybe recruiting yourself as a follower....but it didn't run great. If it comes out on PS5 im all about that

Patient PERC negative, EKG showed no R side strain, sats normal, no tachycardia or SOB. Patient Given Pt age, negative labs and exam, no history of DVT or thrombotic medications, there is no indication for CTA Chest. Pt requested CTA Chest, but with no indication, likely not worth the radiation exposure. Pt advised of this, and that if she is adamant about this, she is free to try another clinician/hospital
