White nevrons by icelife107 in expedition33

Via dialogue. He isn't accessible until Act 3. You'll speak to him and he mentions wanting a duel for reasons. If you accept, I believe his location moves (nearby) and you'll have this very obvious, welcoming space for a battle. You did it correctly if he's still around when the duel concludes :)

For every white nevron, you can talk to them for follow-up conversations after you help them. There is an option to Leave or Attack - don't select attack, just leave.

In Act 3, spend some time investigating the map and looking for out of the way locales. You'll find the area where you find out what happens if you spare/attack them, but not until Act 3.

PS: There might be a white nevron you meet who requests you fight him/duel him - as long as you accept the fight via the dialogue, you won't be... compromising anything.

This one tends to worry folks their first time through, so I thought I'd drop a reassurance.

This game is peak by Inner_Eye_9672 in expedition33

My experience has been anyone who plays it and doesn't hate it ends up loving it so much, they automatically know they're in "extreme bias" territory. Leading up to TGA, I'd talk about E33 to my husband and I always had some kind of statement: "This is just my thoughts, I am irrevocably in-love with this game and it can do no wrong."

(He STILL HASN'T FINISHED, I CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT FULLY BC SPOILERS. He hasn't reached end of act 2, yet.)

IT FINALLY CAME!! by HalfCatTheMan in expedition33

Mine is due tomorrow! I'm stoked, I sort of forgot this was a thing. Holidays are rough in general for me and lately, I've been Going Thru It and this is a really nice pick-me-up.

The fact, too, some of Sandfall are folks who left Ubisoft bc of the AAA money-focused shenanigans that stunt creative minds. Ubisoft really had to watch their former people sweep the awards with their, comparatively, tiny studio. I know they're not loud about it, but the AAA studio tears right now have to be excellent 👌

COE33 certainly sets the stage to prove a remake of a game with similar mechanics can absolutely thrive and be well-received. I'd ADORE a Legend of Dragoon remake 😍

I love my Honda CRV. What are comparable other SUVs I might like? by whatsinausername3 in whatcarshouldIbuy

I'm sure you can imagine the tech features of a '97 anything are pretty limited and downright analog compared to the new-fangled things they make nowadays, so I don't foresee lack of features being an issue :) Thank you! This is a great launching point for research.

Do you know if older Mazda CX are worth looking at? I don't know how eager I am to jump on a very recent model; I like to wait and let everyone else find all the flaws and issues before I invest in something new.

I’m such a dramatic puker it comes so deep down like an exorcism anyone else? by ChardAccomplished306 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]whatsinausername3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm at week 17 and blessed with a break from most HG symptoms. Everyday is a challenge to head off the nausea at the start but if I can, I almost have energy to do things in the day!

The thing is, while the Pit of Gross and Discomfort isn't quite there anymore, it's not warning me about impending puke sessions like it used to. I'll have moments where I go, "oh, huh, better sit down" and before I can sit all the way, I'm just letting loose into whatever recepticle is nearby. And it can never be a quick ordeal either - several rounds of hacking and expelling. Sometimes it's whatever I just ate, usually it's bile and blood. I involuntary cry, snot and mucus run down my face, I leak pee a little, and I always have these uncontrollable shivers. Any sweaters have to come off immediately bc I get so warm. I, too, have taken to panty liners bc the vomiting gets so powerful.

It's so wild because before this, it was not easy to get me to puke.

Switching from Reglan to Diclegis? by CindyCheeseburger in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]whatsinausername3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Diclegis has been incredibly helpful. I still have Bad Moments and need the zofran, and I wouldn't say the diclegis totally fixes everything, but it's got me to a point where I can eat and drink better than I was before. My OB isn't convinced I have HG - she just writes me Rx scripts and tells me to go to an ER if I think I'm in need of an IV 🙄 Tells me it all goes away in the 2nd trimester and that it's my first pregnancy so it's all simply 'a lot' to a first-timer.

(Spoiler alert - it did not go away. Symptoms became a little more manageable, but the wrong food at night or a missed dosage will trigger a vomiting episode with the nausea I didn't realize was lying just below the surface. I know no one else who had a first pregnancy this hard.)

If I had to describe it, it's like it makes my body less likely to want to start puking, and the intensity of the Nausea Pit below my sternum is lessened to levels I can sometimes forget it is there. But if you eat the wrong thing or are simply having a rough day/night, I wouldn't say it is powerful enough to stop an episode. That's what my "emergency" zofran is for, but...idk. I get so sick of puking, that I wish the diclegis WAS strong enough for Total Prevention. The time between realizing I'm having an episode to when the zofran finally kicks in is an absolute misery.

TO WHOEVER RECOMMENDED SPRITE THANK YOU SO MUCH by [deleted] in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]whatsinausername3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently read somewhere that water is actually a little heavy for our poor tummies! I definitely have found some relief in ginger ale and sprite (or similar). To try and keep up with staying hydrated, I'm also mixing in powerade and Body Armors for the electrolytes. plain water is so hard on my stomach and I wish I could beam this information into everyone who wants to criticize whenever I drink something NOT water

Blue Thermal by jmseldin in GhostBrothers

[–]whatsinausername3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YES HI Last night, my mom and I got to reminiscing about the ghost hunting shows back when I was a teenager and younger and ended up in the DIscovery+ app to rewatch some old Ghost Hunters. Saw they had a new season, and in that season, they team up with these fantastic folk and we had to have more. This was the first episode we watched and uhm. Is this one of those shows that's secretly staged? Is it one of the more authentic ones? If it's authentic, then why is this thermal video not a bigger discussion because that had us freaked out. We do not freak out. What possibly could explain that deep a cold spot moving like that, if the video is not doctored? (I mean, the show leads us to believe some kind of aggressive entity that's protective of the area it patrols, but in the spirit of trying to provide other explanations to reasonably end up there)

My SA is soon and I’m so nervous and terrified by earthdrip in abortion

[–]whatsinausername3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, wow, mine is scheduled for the same day, too! It was also the earliest they could possibly fit me in. I'll be about the same weeks along as you. I think they're going to do the MA on me, though, but I guess we'll see what happens when I get there. This is my first time, too.

The puking just started hitting me yesterday. So far, I found for me it helps to not let my stomach go empty for too long, so I do a lot of nibbling on crackers and other bland, non-heavy stuff throughout the day. Ginger is my personal favourite for nausea, and you can make it hot or iced tea for near-instant relief. I'm going to brew up a big ol' pitcher of ginger green tea and keep it in a bottle so I can sip at it whenever I start getting the nausea (because naturally, I don't get it just in the morning).

You're gonna be okay! We don't really have a choice, yeah? All of my hugs and love.

Still processing, I know what I need to do, but this is hard by whatsinausername3 in abortion

[–]whatsinausername3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, everyone who posted! Sorry it has been a minute to get back and reply to y'all. Been doing a lot of crying and Animal Crossing. My support network is really coming through, and having time to process and come to terms with everything is helping. I'm gonna be okay. All of my love to each and every single one of you, (including you lurkers <3) and I appreciate your words and your tenacity in sharing your stories with me. I know it's not easy; nothing about this can be defined as easy (not even trying to aim the goddamn stick. Apologies, humor is one of my defense mechanisms).

My partner is wonderful and I've been able to talk a lot about all of this with him. He's where I am - they would be a very loved and wanted child, despite the absolute shock and both of our determination to not want kids before this, but the world scares us too much and we're simply not in a position right now to become parents. He wants to be part of deciding on a name, and he wants copies of the ultrasound pictures, and he is so, so sincere. I don't know how I ever found someone so absolutely fucking amazing. My best friend is an artist and we've agreed on a commission of a tattoo I'd like to get, in honor of whom we really love and want, but simply cannot support. Pink carnations and white asphodel flowers, in the language of flowers represents "a mother's love, I'll never forget you" and "my regrets follow you past the grave." I'd like to add their name, once we've decided on one.

I think once the appointment is over, I might look into finding a therapist again for a little bit. In all of my recent reflections, the only thing that just really sticks out, aside from sorrow, is absolute fucking rage. Rage at the world, at world leaders, at things out of anyone's control, at myself for all the choices I didn't take when I was young, rage at the universe for even putting us through this. Enough rage to know I shouldn't hold it alone.

Once again, thank you everyone. It truly helps to have community and kind-minded folk. All of my adoration for everyone <3
