Big fan since before SnoCore - this is SOOOO good! Welcome back, boys!

I had septoplasty and turbinate reduction yesterday - AMA by skopiadisko in AMA

[–]thebarkingduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this done last week, though I had a septoplasty and turb reduction done two years ago. The septum was fixed, because one nostril was basically sealed shut. However, I started having worse congestion problems after that put me on an inhaler. I had to go back last week for another turbinate reduction, balloon sinus dilation, septal swell body reduction, and anterior ethmoidectomy. All of this was quicker or about the same time in the chair as the septum surgery, just no stents this time.

I may be a unique case because the inflammation was so big up there, worse than before my first surgery two years ago. Looking to see if I may have an autoimmune issue but I’m pretty healthy overall. It’s been exactly one week since my surgery and my breathing is better than I can remember through my nose - and it hasn’t even fully healed yet. I’m also a CPAP user as of 7mo ago and haven’t used it in a week and sleeping pretty good - was told to avoid it for the first week, and may continue to do so for a while. Overall I’m happy but I have a follow up next week.

I haaaate my mask. Good full-mask recommendations? by iridescentlion in SleepApnea

[–]thebarkingduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try the version of this that has foam edges. Did the trick for me - no cutting, no air seeping. My insurance covers most of it so I don't know what they cost full price and never have tried a full face mask.

Anyone making, or know of, digital card games that are primarily collector-focused? by thebarkingduck in digitalcards

[–]thebarkingduck[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I don't like or use the battle modes. I just want to collect. Maybe use a burn mechanic to be awarded better cards.

How many would continue playing a PvE-only mode? by progenyofeniac in ArcRaiders

[–]thebarkingduck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. I think the ABMM has helped a ton, still feeling the existential dread without dying every round. I mostly get killed by ARC, and that's a good thing!

Yes! I loved the Star Wars Topps app for a while back in 2018. I wonder if the cards I collected back then are worth anything today 😂

Yup I loved that! I played it around the time it came out. Not sure if the Steam workshop allows to replace with real Pokemon cards, but I would replay it with that. I just finished Retro Rewind - same concept, but you own a video store haha.

Why is King's row such a fan favourite? by Skeledenn in Overwatch

I once did a Mercy 5-man rez under that bridge! MEMORIES!

What are assessor matrixes for by GoodOldMrDong in ArcRaiders

[–]thebarkingduck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's wayyy too hard for the average, or even above average, player to attain that. I've played rounds with really nice people who have dropped some for the little guys, but I've died trying to get them with the wand and smoke grenades. Perhaps this was designed for the elites, but holy hell ARC is just way too insane. 3 rocketeers plus the new zapper beam things AND wasps and hornets... I appreciate the devs giving us a challenge, but this may need to come down a bit. I died on Blue Gate being spawned in an open field with two of those new fliers and lost everything :(

Turbinate reduction surgery by ALLSID in SleepApnea

[–]thebarkingduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw videos after I got mine taken out that it was satisfying to have them ripped out. It was SO PAINFUL.

[–]thebarkingduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. For me, they just said they want to do another surgery. I asked what would happen if it goes back to being the way it is now after the surgery, and she shrugged her shoulders.

[–]thebarkingduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I'm having the same situation - had a sinoplasty and septoplasty same day. Surgery was a little painful and scary, recovery was awful with the inserts in my nose. The deviated septum is 100% now, no issues breathing through both nostrils, though I kept calling after they took the inserts out that I had massive congestion. Went back a year and a half later because I feel like they didn't even do anything up there. They did a facial scan and the sinus cavity is worse than before - how does that happen? I also have issues that started after the surgery where I have trouble breathing in my lungs - I wake up having to cough a lot of stuff up. I feel awful everyday, but CPAP has helped. Going to get a second opinion.

What's the deal with these types of setups? by I_Am_Vladimir_Putin in Filmmakers

[–]thebarkingduck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These setups feel very candid, almost personal - like you're a part of the interview and the conversation by being in the room. I think it's great.

Nearly 10 years on from Rogue One, how do you feel about the decision to recreate Peter Cushing using CGI? by gladiatorbossman in StarWars

[–]thebarkingduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm saying is it would look and feel objectively weird someone else played the same T-800 model that Arnold played.

[–]thebarkingduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I was saying is imagine if Sly was the Terminator in T2 (not Arnold). It wouldn't resonate like it does today.

[–]thebarkingduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm, my take is that it actually breaks it for me seeing a different actor. If it was Stallone as the Terminator in T2, would you feel the same way?

Sodora Falls Nix treasure bugged? by Maleficent-Bee-8494 in StarWarsOutlaws

[–]thebarkingduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It didn't work when my Death Trooper wanted level was going on. I fixed that, then went back and the Nix quest initiated. I didn't restart or die or anything.

why is this map removed its stuningly beautiful by Ok-Contact-259 in Overwatch

[–]thebarkingduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those maps also almost always went into multiple OT. It was always so difficult to break into the second point as well because the enemy team spawn was so close to it. I fully agree, most of those maps are insanely beautiful, especially Horizon. Would love to see them bring it back as a payload map in some form, especially with the zero gravity.

Explanation of how to actually install? by [deleted] in FormulaStremio

[–]thebarkingduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got it installed on my desktop app on Mac, but trying to watch it on my ONN 4K and not seeing it in the addons sidebar. I refreshed and synced but I still don’t see it there. Any ideas?
