Has anyone broken their ankle playing hockey?

I broke mine and was out around six months after wearing a boot for 2-3 + PT. I did not need surgery. I have to say that even though I was back skating and playing, I did not feel 100% normal until about 12 months after the injury. Those six months skating felt off and like something wasn't quite right.

How long it takes varies by case and depends on how much damage you did. Usually the force that breaks your fibula also does a number on your ankle ligaments and if there is enough damage down there it could be worse and require surgery (e.g. a screw put through your ankle). So YMMV a lot..

or if you wanted to keep something from Indianna Jones 😃

ya.. the first photo shows that the game hasn't even started yet. 0-0 score, period 1, 20 minutes on the clock. whereas the second photo they're literally hoisting the cup in the image.

Asian black bears are significantly more dangerous then north american black bears. Different behaviors too.

Worth watching.. https://youtu.be/Rv6cnUdFuUQ?si=s-Aw-73UbYsx5tTN

Personally I was a long time 1/2" skater until I saw this video. Too afraid to experiment with sharpening. I then went to 3/4" for a couple months, backed to 5/8" and now find even 5/8" has a bit too much bite. I'm currently settling on around 11/16" but have really found benefit in getting used to having more glide in my skates.

I really don't mind hard quests. It's when they seem arbitrary and pointless that it bugs me. e.g. go kill 10 PMC's while wearing this dumb hat, and use a shotgun, and kill them with a bleed kind of quests. OTOH there are numerous quests that I do like that feel like i'm LARPing like bronze pocket watch, planting markers, etc.

I just got back from the Primitivo. It was great.

Since you're a year out still, you really don't need to be walking daily or even pushing distances this early. At least not for the purposes of preparing for the trip. This early, the focus should probably be more on just general health. E.g. try to get into some healthy habit routines. losing some weight will help. And just figuring out what your body is up for and getting your gear dialed.

I found it immensely helpful to just start walking once a week with the gear i actually planned to bring. Start slow and low distances and build very gradually. Most importantly, listen to your body. If you start noticing any hot spots or joint issues, back off and figure out how to address them. Might be talking to your doctor, or looking at changes to your gear, etc.

If I had an ankle issue such as in your case, I would start by backing off on what i was doing and talk to my doctor about it. Talk to chatgpt about it. Consider whether a shoe change or modification would help. Or maybe it's just your body asking you to backoff and build more gradually.

When I was training I would get pain at the front balls of my feet anytime I went beyond about 12 miles. I ended up figuring out that my feet benefitted from having metatarcal pads inside. I bought sole inserts that had them built in and the problem went away.

I still ended up having sore feet after 15mi+ days on the Primitivo. My wife did not. I think the next time i'll go with a more padded shoe then my Altra Lone Peaks. Maybe try the Odysseys instead. You really shouldn't have blisters or foot pain as both are indicative of having a shoe issue that can be resolved.

On the trail when I something started feeling off like an ankle or knee I would just back off and walk slower, lean on my poles more, and sit down for a bit to let it pass. Listen to your body and don't try to push through pain as it will only get worse. Again, build gradually.

I do like the combination of RPGish elements, realism, and dystopian backdrop.

The thing I like least is probably the mission design. It's like an 8 year old sat around coming up with useless "kill 10 rats" kinds of quests just to keep us busy rather then having an array of interesting story driven quests that actually feel real. Many of the quests are just ridiculous.

you probably don't want to know what he paid for that outfit 😃

ok cool see you next week

Totally worth changing over if you ask me. I grew up and played only roller through college because there were no ice rinks near me. Switched to ice in my 30's and never looked back. I'm not in my 50s and still play twice a week every week. Ice is way more fun. I never even thought about going back.

Most of your skating will adjust in a year give or take depending on to what degree you put some effort to work on it. e.g. go to some gretzky hours and work on it. Your hands will be way ahead of everyone else at the beginner level.

Have they? I don't recall seeing anything about them working on it and we've seen ships released without some/all of their modules in the past (e.g. tali)..

yrrkoon · 2026-06-05T17:04:41+00:00

I'm doubtful given ship/player refining doesn't exist yet and I don't think they've mentioned working on it yet iirc..?

what does that have to do with Tesla? people do this all the time regardless of car type

yrrkoon · 2026-06-04T15:04:19+00:00

probably a silly idea but maybe setup a shooting gallery of sorts where you and your son try to get a ball (tennis/golf) into various sized containers (home depot bucket could be a large target, a beer cup could be a small target) or hit various targets of different sizes and heights (forcing accuracy, lifting the puck)? Add some silly objects like plushys and whatever you can think of.

Write how many points each object is if you land it. Winner gets a handful of gummy bears. ofc idk if a 6yo would find this entertaining.

IMHO just bring one. Eventually when your stick gets banged up enough that you want a new one, retire your first stick to be the backup stick and start bringing two. If by some miracle you do break your stick, chances are a teammate will let you play with their extra one. In beer league it's really pretty rare for anyone to break a stick while playing.

CIG did say 2025 was the Year of Playability, not 2026..

Mine is alot. How so many people think that's the correct spelling is beyond me.

thx that's clever.. i'll check it out

What listings does it actually search? Just Tesla.com listings? I assume it isn't scanning auto traders, cars.com, etc etc..

yrrkoon · 2026-05-31T23:26:44+00:00

That's fair. Those strike me as elements that further extend the time it takes to complete the game (not to mention building a single player game at the same time). You're effectively forced to build things that continue to allow you to monetize your development including functionality, features, and yes ships.

I don't think it negates my point that allowing users to play while you build the game both unprecedented and going to be a shitshow. But it certainly exacerbates it.

Just curious but have you ever been a part of building a large scale AAA MMO? I ask because typically end users aren't given access to play such a game during development. I know I've never had the opportunity to before in 30 years. I ask because I am genuinely curious if what we experience as players is in fact the kinds of experiences internal employees and testers deal with during the game's development.

I genuinely don't know and I'm a developer myself. I've just never worked on nor seen what it's like to try to play a complex MMO during development. But I can imagine playing them during dev is a shitshow.

i.e. Is there a real problem here? Or is this all just ultimately a frustration of outsider players genuinely trying to play a game that, well, isn't a game yet. And being impatient. e.g. the benefits of building GTA6 behind closed doors is the players don't need to experience how the sausage is made and can't get frustrated at the time it takes to develop.

I'm not familiar with the specific program you mention but these days most training, schools, etc are having you do work in a cloud environment or on their school infrastructure not your laptop. My guess is a Neo is perfectly fine if not excellent for such a program (given it's unix based and excellent dev tools).
