Hey all, went away for a long weekend. Still in a farir amount of pain. At this point the sleep deprivation is worse than the pain, the month of January no restorative sleep.  Getting to see a doctor tomorrow (lol, just typed "yesterday" if that gives you an idea where I'm at) and at this point I'll ask him for sleep pills over pain pills.

Anyhoo, managed to keep slighly chipping away at Spiritfarer and not much else.  Daughter beat Thank Goodness you're here for the fourth time, which she calls "Lemon Head"

I really like the new redesign.

Well, my new doctor, a nice vietnamese man, prescribed me two months worth of an epilepsy drug that the pharmacist put me thorugh 20 questions and lots of side eye before he gave it to me.

It's a drug they give people with epilepsy to stop convulsions with high pshychological and physical addiction risk. It's explicitly not reccomened for my condition in two research papers I've read and Pfizer was sued for hundreds of millions of dollars for illegally marketing it!.

What could possibly go wrong? :

Pretty sure half a bottle of tequila would have been a better sleep aid.

Paper 1:

"There is moderate- to high-quality evidence that anticonvulsants are ineffective for treatment of low back pain or lumbar radicular pain. There is high-quality evidence that gabapentinoids have a higher risk for adverse events."

Paper 2: (CLBP = Chronic lower back pain)

"Existing evidence on the use of gabapentinoids in CLBP is limited and demonstrates significant risk of adverse effects without any demonstrated benefit. Given the lack of efficacy, risks, and costs associated, the use of gabapentinoids for CLBP merits caution. "

Youtube's compression sucks. DF has uncompressed versions of their videos on their site that look much, much better, but you have to support their Patreon to download them.

Never!

I also realised that they often zoom in, but not to a massive degree. They do it subtly enough that you don't even realise you're looking at a cropped, zoomed image.

They do it without pointing it out, most of the time. Rather than just having full screen vs full screen they will have a zoomed in image, in general which perpetuates and exagerates these "flaws".

Giving you a much worse impression of how a game actually looks.
