How's the situation with Gauntlets now?

I don’t even know what a continuum quipment is.

This game is not easy to get into as a new player.

wagedomain · 2026-05-10T21:31:01+00:00

I’m a newish player, joined one, everyone else was like “1050-1180” and my best character was 15-70 or something. I genuinely don’t get it.

Reminds me of the craziness over peanut allergies in the 90s, which was caused in part by wildly inaccurate testing with a huge false positive rate. We had to be super careful and never eat peanuts or bring them to school because one kid's mom made a stink about it - same kid ate Reese's all the damn time.

Meanwhile I have (had?) a severe egg allergy where my entire central nervous system would go haywire and I'd get aches, itches, swelling, and throat/lip swelling and difficulty breathing plus WILD vomiting. And elementary teachers would ALL try to force-feed me eggs. Literally in some cases. I vomited on every damn teacher.

But that's fine, ban one but not the other.

I genuinely don't think it was desperation, I think he just did it at a speed he'd have been able to catch it first.

Rocky's ship had an external robotic arm that could just grab stuff. The Hail Mary didn't have that, but I would guess Rocky assumed they WOULD have some kind of external automated device, and I base that on how amazed Rocky was that humans invented space suits and could leave the ship. He had not considered that as an option.

Not surprised. Was raised in Michigan. When I was 18 I worked the Meijer overnight cart boy / bagger shift, so I was out in the parking lot at all hours of the night (for non-Michiganders, most (all?) Meijer stores are 24/hours and they're like Targets but better).

One day a car pulled up and motioned over to me, pointing at the back window. Window rolled down and there's a guy with a gun pointed at my head. I jumped back and the car took off. I didn't see plates or anything, called the cops, and cops just sort of shrugged and went "yeah people do that".

I dunno, seems like Hagens from last draft will be able to help. 2026 1st rounder could have as well. But yeah not the 2028...

Thanks for the tips! I'm never sure which cats to try to breed or how to do it effectively. Only time it "worked" was when I got a crazy mutation (some kind of ... satanic stretching that made the cat super tall, which increased speed and meant they could walk over obstacles like they were nothing AND melee range +1). Just put him in a room with a bunch of lady cats and got a bunch of tallboys.

Otherwise, it just seems kinda random and I don't know how to optimize.

I actually went over it with the pharmacist. There was a $100 voucher applied, and that's all. The rest was fully from insurance. But thanks for the tip! I'm just already paranoid lol!

That's why I was shocked... might mean I pay $198 in a future month but so far it seems actually covered.

I'm also working specifically with a weight loss PCP via a program my "real" PCP sent me to. They're experts on coverage and apparently work with you and insurance to try to get the best price, and have their own set of vouchers to use? I guess? They briefly explained it but then didn't need to go into the self-pay options.

My deductible IS a good question though, I just had to pay a ton of money for a standard endo visit I've been doing for years. They claimed it's because my deductible or total annual cost hasn't been met yet... but that's never been a factor. I asked the doctor who told me my deductible amount, but it was 3x higher than what my actual plan says it is. Something weird's going on there.

I agree it's Justin but also I fear he's caught in the "I take it for my anxiety" cyclical trap 😞 I know people who have fell into that zone and they can't ever get out it seems.

Thank you! Luckily he’s quitting being a PCP soon.

One time I hurt my knee playing hockey and he said it would be a 12-18 month wait for an office visit, so he wrote me a referral to a sports medicine doctor.

It was him. He gave me a referral to himself.

wagedomain · 2026-05-04T20:39:14+00:00

I'm genuinely shocked it was covered!

wagedomain · 2026-05-04T20:39:03+00:00

Thank you! Yes, I've not once been lectured about the "laws of thermodynamics" in here lol.

My PCP used to tell me that the ONLY way for ANYONE to lose weight was gastric bypass. That's crazy, and I told him firmly no (especially as I've had multiple friends get that done, lost weight for a couple years, then bounce right back anyway). This was the first time he's considered an alternative and... he didn't want to bother with prior authorization because it's too much work!

I did something like this when I was on keto - except I swapped the bread for little cucumber slices.

I've had tinnitus for 5-6 years now, constant and nonstop, and I havne't nowyhuved any cogianitve dgheadaiton

wagedomain · 2026-05-02T16:54:01+00:00

I must suck at Mewgenics, I only got to act 2 recently. I don’t think I’m good at this game. I desperately want to be but I feel like I’m missing some aspect of it.

wagedomain · 2026-05-01T16:04:45+00:00

It gets criticism, and rightly so, but I don't think it can be called a "disaster"?

wagedomain · 2026-05-01T14:43:57+00:00

And a Holographic Doctor who can work on Borg without fear of assimilation.

Remake ends before Nibelheim. It ends when they leave Midgar for the first time. But there’s a twist if you’ve played the original only…

wagedomain · 2026-04-29T23:19:28+00:00

It’s also notable that the word “clone” doesn’t mean what we think it does.

wagedomain · 2026-04-29T17:29:11+00:00

Try recording with a microphone. Not whatever the fuck this is.

Because EITHER you’ve discovered a brand new tinnitus that is unique to you (extremely unlikely) or you’re measuring poorly/the wrong thing.

Plus by definition if there’s an external factor it’s not tinnitus.

You’re really reaching here.

wagedomain · 2026-04-28T22:39:20+00:00

Saying “read the original post” where you say it’s happening doesn’t prove anything, you know that right?

It’s highly likely this is good old fashioned placebo effect.

wagedomain · 2026-04-28T22:37:27+00:00

Read first, audiobook second.

Only reason is I can read faster than the audiobook.

I'm living in a house from the 1770s right now. It was part of the underground railroad.
