Shower the horse, ya bum.

A few. Most recent is my neighbour.

Or driveways.

There’s a colony of them off the coast of northern BC. It was started about twenty years ago for a study.

Granted, they are plastic and nailed down, but hey, who cares about details.

• Doesn’t do anything to accounts that raided a server, sending members gore and worse videos.

(Lost a good community in the aftermath, and at least one of the offensive accounts is still active!)

Satisfactory. Lots to organize and build. A bit of a learning curve if you want to get complex, but if you want to keep things simple it’s really doable.

No Man’s Sky. Space exploration, building, and all round reason to goof about for hours. (Free to play this weekend on all platforms.)

Both games have a great community.

Had it for forty years, it was my CB radio call sign.

Multi tonal tinnitus is a real thing.

Source: My right ear has two tones, and the left ear has different from the right two.

I’m jealous! Mine only is tuned out if I listen to something loud, and I don’t enjoy the headaches more than the tinnitus.

Not as a rule, no. I end up with a bigger headache and more ringing.

I’ve had tinnitus for decades, and it SUCKS. I’ve always been careful for my hearing, but after a concussion it arrived and never went away.

I play games with most sounds off. I can’t use headphones, wearing them gives me a migraine no matter the volume.

I’ve had hearing tests, seen a specialist. I have no hearing loss, but I do have misaphonia and tinnitus. The combination is pure hell, there is no respite.

I can’t distinguish voices in chats well enough to follow what’s being said if more than one person is talking. It’s even worse online when I can’t lip read to decode what’s being said.

Project your earholes.

I have noticed this. I have a few searches that I do regularly, and over time I’ve watched the results get less and less relevant for the same keywords.

One of the more recent searches was for a set of data I had been building. I had the keywords from my notes, and when I went to search for it again, using the same keywords that found it the previous times, it was no longer a result. I knew the dates of one event in particular, so I narrowed to that, and still google served me results for ten years before the specified date range. A bit more fine tuning, and Google continued to serve the same results, all not even remotely close to what I was after, and results that were found even as recently as last week are not longer there.

I go to a sports physiotherapy group. Much better results when the goal is to help me recover so I don’t need to come to them.

I used to see a chiro, stopped while I was pregnant after he ‘treated’ PGP. (I’m hypermobile, and pregnancy made everything ready to dislocate.) Daily pain went from 5/6 (manageable, barely) to a 9 and severe mobility limitations.

I was slowly moving, but able to move before that appointment. Could barely walk, and climbing stairs was not happening for months after.

A physio realigned everything, and I walked out of the first appointment and could take stairs again. Ended up at a specialist dealing with the aftermath of that chiros treatment.

Physiotherapy is my first stop now, and I will never set foot in a chiropractor’s office ever again.

Not easily. :(

Current list is Path of Exile, Sea of Thieves, Satisfactory, and Warframe. Aust timezone.

No argument there. Just have to find a new place to game from.

It’s incredibly isolating when there is a game you are super keen to play, but your gaming group powers through as a group to end game, leaving you on your own to play catch-up.

They make promises to help, but magically they are always to busy even for a ten minute assist to help kill that boss it took them five people to take down.

A little empathy would have gone a long way, perhaps an invite to a group when they’ve rerolled their fourth character while I’m still levelling my first.

The people I’d been playing games with for the past few years stopped including me even on a token level. ‘We thought you were in guild/server/discord already.’ Never did get those invites.
