I’ve only hallucinated when I was young and really feverish and sick. I was scared of “lava buckets coming up the stairs” according to my dad.
I work with people with delirium who commonly hallucinate, it’s often things like people or animals. Common things are small children and dogs for the nicest ones and spiders or aggressive people for the less nice ones. They also don’t realise they are hallucinating a lot of the time. Being unwell is hard.
Nice, that’s good to know. I know most gaming is not an issue due to proton these days.
I’ve got a hp reverb G2, which is windows mixed reality. I don’t think this one would work. The G2 is a pretty small user base compared to meta headsets.
I’ve got a hp reverb G2 which runs through windows mixed reality, which is helpfully not supported now anyway. It’s also one of the smallest user bases for vr I think. Have you heard anything about that headset? When I looked initially (ages ago to be fair) I couldn’t find much about it with Linux.
VR gaming support and I do play Helldivers 2 on occasion despite the ridiculous anticheat. My understanding is neither of those would work on Linux.
Though with proton and MS getting increasingly crap I am more and more tempted to make the switch.
Life outside of work. I’d love more time to spend with my wife and dog. Time to watch movies, play video games, hike, read, camp. Hell if I didn’t have to work so much I might actually do some strength training.
I love slay the princess, such a great game and a great story. A good one for video games as art.
I really enjoyed it but I found the pay off of all the meta stuff to be a bit lacking. The first section though was some of the best atmospheric game I have ever played. I especially didn’t appreciate needing to watch a couple of YouTube videos to “finish the story”. I did appreciate what it was trying to do and the first part of the game with Leshy was truly excellent.
It’s an entertaining game. I work with elderly care so I think I’m pretty good at recognising Parkinson’s from someone’s walk but yeah other things are harder without talking to someone.
Healthcare professional. Play spot diagnosis from people’s walks and stuff observable from a distance. always keep an eye out for people who look like they need help. Always check people at car accidents are out of the cars and calm before driving on. I do the veins thing too.
It really depends on the lifestyle you want and what “retirement” means to you. Do you want to never work again or work part time? So you want to live in a home with no mortgage and minimal bills or travel the world for 6 months of every year. Your best bet is to talk to a financial advisor.
Honestly I’m not sure. Probably the same as the chem trails and 5g, he’s all in on the conspiracies these days.
UK here. We have fluoride in our water. My understanding is it’s good for teeth and helps prevent dental problems with little/no downsides.
My dad is a conspiracy theorist nut who thinks it’s a government mind control agent or something so both sides get purchase over here.
We spent 2 hours doing CPR on a lady who worked in our hospital, while her husband watched and cried. She was young and the cardiac arrest was unexpected so we tried everything we could. Despite all our efforts we didn’t manage to get her back. CPR is not like it looks in movies and shows, it rarely works and is brutal on the person who’s died. CPR is physically exhausting to perform, generally you rotate so you’re only doing about 1-2 minutes at a time but even with breaks it’s still very hard work. Add on the emotional shock of an unexpected death and supporting a grieving partner, it was a naff day. One of the worst parts is you’ve got to go back on the floor afterwards and carry on like it’s normal.
Was scrolling through to see if this was posted yet. Such a hard game, emotionally and mechanically. I’ve never managed to get very far through it before everything goes wrong and my characters start dying horribly (Which is entirely the point).
It’s a really good portrayal of the civilian toll of war I think.
Anywhere you can buy food here you can probably get alcohol. Corner shops, petrol stations, supermarkets all have booze.
In the UK we measured alcohol in units the recommended limit being 14/ week. Spirits like vodka are served in 1 unit = 25ml. So their low to medium drinking is already more than the UK national recommendation by 4 drinks and you’d be getting advice on how to reduce your drinking by a Dr. Though that 450ml/week is real easy to get to that’s one vodka and coke per day if your free pouring rather than measuring. Many lay people wouldn’t consider that a problem at all.
Admittedly we do have a fairly problematic relationship with alcohol in this country.
Definitely agree with your take to make booze harder to get and more highly taxed like smoking. At least the younger generations seem to not be drinking so much.
A solid decade before Minecraft at least no idea where it came from.
