I get face, hand, and feet tingles. Well, the feet are more pins-and-needles. So it's like yay fewer migraines, but...

Unfortunately, I think their effectiveness at the migraines are lessening.

If it's topamax, it doesn't matter if it has corn syrup, sugar, or crack. It's not going to taste right. Everything will taste like Pepsi. It's disgusting.

(Low key soda fight bait. Fight me.)

I did find that AW root beer tasted sorta OK. Like no great, but... sorta halfway if I was desperate.

I've gone for MiO (the water additive stuff) if I want something that isn't coffee, tea, or water.

Do you also get the intense face-tingly paraesthesia on topiramate? Or the 'I have absolutely no hunger drive and most food makes me ill but if I don't eat I also get migraines'? Because those are worse than not having soda.

I do have him blocked from pages ago in this thread when he was being an utter troll.

If that's changed, then I do absolutely apologize.

@Meg said in RL Anger:

@surreality but consider also that people might be asking you to stop because it is easier to get one person to stop than getting three. Simple numbers. I think most of us at this point don't think any of you are right or wrong.

This. And can you imagine trying to get shangwhatever to try to stop? I mean jesus fuck.

Srsly, just go take a break for a bit. Everyone else will find other things to entertain them.

There could be a number of reasons?

1. People didn't see your post.
2. People like to stir pots.
3. People might have been referring to your prior posts in which y'all were kinda being dicks to each other

There's a plethora of reasons but seriously there's no real reason either of you should've carried it on this long, but at this point... You're the only one who keeps on keepin' on. I get the frustration, ire, etc., but there reaches a point where you aren't going to get through to people.

Those people are going to bait you. That is their entire goal. And every post you make with a 2000 word count is another notch in their headboard. It's another win for them. Just walk away.

...but that was pages ago and you've posted blocks and blocks since.

I... seriously, babe. It may be time to take a full day off. Like, a legit serious full day. Not a 'I'm going on a break guys' and come back six hours later to post again. Go binge watch something on Netflix while knitting. Find a tool in Chrome (it has got to exist; everything exists somewhere) to disallow yourself from accessing MSB for 24 hours or something.

Migraine meds were awesome.

I mean minus the inability to drink soda anymore, paresthesia, lack of hunger signal....

They were awesome. 1-2 migraines a week? I was living again (mostly)!

... I'm on migraine #3 this week.

Shit.

@Ghost said in RL Anger:

Don't apologize on the apology thread.

DOOOOONT

Do not

@kk

My migraine meds have made it so all soda tastes flat and like it's gone bad. Enjoy that bad-for-you cola for me plz.

But you aren't apologizing, from the looks of it. Like I said, haven't read everything because it's MASSIVE BLOCKS OF UNENDING TEXT and I am in a migraine cycle, but that sort of right there says it's not an apology. An apology is succinct.

An apology is not 'I'm sorry but here's ten million reasons why you're wrong' or 'I'm sorry but'
It's 'I apologize'

Didn't we have a whole thread on this shit?

If they don't know you they don't know you. No amount of beating at the fucking wall is going to ever change that.

Just walk the fuck away.

The horse is dead, Jim.

@WTFE

Dude, just put him on ignore.
If only so I don't have to see you quoting him after I put him on ignore.

Also, surr, I love you, but for fuck's sake just stop. Please. Take a day off the forums. Have some tea. Work on your knitting. I haven't even been reading anything any of you have been saying anymore, but just seeing these huge blocks of posts are making me reach for the whiskey.

Am I the only person who thinks 'Ok I've written more than 2 paragraphs maybe this is way too much no one's gonna read this shit time to delete the entire post and walk away to do something else'?

@Ganymede

no u

@Thenomain (As I catch up on the thread) Love Shattered Starlight. Worth the read, guys! Been following it since it began. It's slow to update, so not a huge time commitment.

...and now I've caught up and seriously, is this still ongoing?
Theno has it right. It is, really, possible to see yourself tagged and not reply. I promise. You see that reply button?

Don't click it.
Don't touch your mouse.
Don't press the button.

NO TOUCHY FISHY

What about the 'Probably Need Al-Anon By Now' group?

@Monogram said in Elite Dangerous:

Is Elite Dangerous the one that's taking forever to make with people putting down thousands for huge high spec ships or is that another game?

I can't really remember.

That's Star Citizen. Elite Dangerous has been out for a few years and is a complete game. Once you buy it, you're golden. The only money after is for cosmetics, like nameplates for your ship, colored weapon beams or engine trails, flight suits, etc.

@Jennkryst said in Elite Dangerous:

Elite Dangerous is on my list of shit to try once my car is paid off and I can start saving for a hardcore computer. Right now I have a rinky-dink Kmart laptop.

It's worth it. I've been enjoying the hell out of it.

I was lucky enough to have a stint of about 8 months where I had a more flush income a few years ago and I needed a halfway decent gaming machine for work, so it was also a tax write-off. I've just had to upgrade a couple pieces here and there since.

I'd still love a gaming mouse, keyboard, and HOTAS, but for ED I'm getting away just fine with a XBOne controller.

So I'm working towards exploration (hence missions to make massive credits) so I can build this Asp Explorer.

Ultimately I wanna build this one, but it costs twice as much.

I was shown a mission that, upon completion, is like 200 million credits (which would be moooooore than enough for the 2nd ship), but takes about 16 hours?! And is also complicated af. I might try it next week. I'm apprehensive. It requires a spreadsheet.

(I mean obvs I can do exploration with less, but those are like, optimal builds. They'll let me just cruise outside the bubble and explore to my heart's content.)

HOKAY.

Most of you who actively MU* with me right now (mostly BSG:U folks as I'm pretty lurk-y over on FW) know I am basically obsessed with Elite these days.

Is anyone else currently playing? If so, would you be interested in adding me on Discord? Maybe creating a channel we can all hang out in, share handy info (like some massive credit-making missions I've found lately?), winging up sometimes to pew-pew?
