Gris is such a beautiful game. It's up there with Journey and Sayonara wild hearts for me in the games I can easily hold up as art category.

So something I tell my patients after they have had a surgery is that our goal with pain killers is to make the pain bearable rather than gone. Paracetamol is a great painkiller and helps opioids to work better. It's also non addictive and provided you don't take more than the packet recommends very safe.

For chronic pain the current thinking is it's multifactorial, but basically your brain gets set with your pain threshold too low, there is also a huge psychological element to pain and therapy or things like CBT can be hugely beneficial.

For me paracetamol and codeine have been enough to manage all the pain I've had, the worst being when I fell off my bike and smashed my ribs (pretty sure I didn't break any), luckily I'm in the 90% of people who can metabolise codeine to something more useful. Didn't make the pain go away but meant I could breathe a full breath without flinching. Codeine at lower doses just makes me a bit drowsy and slow. Good for getting to sleep.

Got myself some StepOne boxers, best undies I've ever owned no questions asked. Miles better than anything else I've worn, I'm incapable of going back to lesser pants now. They are made with bamboo fiber, have a low friction glide panel between your legs and have a pouch for the junk to sit in. They aren't cheap but worth every penny in my opinion.

Same. I enjoyed a lot of what I played but I don't get on well with metroidvanias. So I only played a couple of hours before I either got lost or died too often to a boss.

I recently got myself an Anbernic, it's the one which looks like the GBA, see through plastic and all. It's a surprisingly competent little console. It even comes preloaded with a shed load of retro games. I've been enjoying playing games from systems I missed out on growing up.

And party on dude! I came here to say this. It's such an easy tenant to live by. The world would be a better place if everyone really took it to heat.

Snap I'm about to go to the innermost zone. Really enjoying it so far. The vibes are great. It's mostly chill with some intense oh god I'm going to die moments mixed in.

There's a really good Kurzgesagt (in a nutshell) about this topic. (Also their videos are excellent in general, highly recommend their YouTube channel).

My thoughts on this are: we may not have free will but it still feels like we make choices so I will continue to choose to do things which matters to me and enjoy my time in the universe.

Yup, several times. The joys of working in healthcare.

Don't forget those chicken leg demons they were easily the best designed enemy in the game.

I've not met many poly groups but my experience was strained. First time meeting these people and the only thing they spoke about was them being poly and how much sex they were having. It was a bit odd for a first meeting with strangers. Not usual dinner conversation I felt.

See an osteopath instead, in the UK at least, they are trained and regulated unlike chiropractors who regularly kill or permanently disable people with unsafe and inappropriate "manipulations".
