When you start a game like elden ring, with a reputation like elden ring's, you think that the required Gamer's Temperament is something like this:

determination to overcome obstacles

appreciation for esoteric and obscured story beats

undeterred by "unfair" gameplay

willing to learn from each death

And what they dont tell you is a crucial part of the cocktail that makes you enjoy elden ring is

appreciation for slapstick comedy

The thing about the miscommunication trope done RIGHT with Byler is that both of their behavior is totally rational and I would probably do the same based on what they think the situation is, AND they also have valid reason to dismiss the idea that the situation is anything else.

I had a dream where Bella was babysitting the Mutant Mayhem turtles (I haven't even seen MM but okay) and took them to like a bath house? And Raph was being a little shit to her and she wasn't having it, I remember that. And then she lost one of them on an elevator and had to run up and down the stairs trying to figure out where they got off.

And honestly that part is correct if this was a sitcom there would absolutely be an episode where Bella lost one or all of the kids and had to scramble to find them before their dads came back.

I saw a theory recently that the reason Gregory dropped Cassie down the elevator is because he was worried he was actually talking to The Mimic. What's your opinion on that?

I think that's a super good reason and would make more sense than dropping the elevator to prevent the mimic from escaping WITH Cassie, since theres another elevator underground. that plothole would be explained if Gregory cut the elevator with the intention of crushing the mimic in the crash if he thought it was the one in the elevator (or that it wasnt him who cut it at all but that's not what this is about)

[pochapal]

before i put my foot in my mouth over the phone to the doctor i need to know if there's like. an agreed upon level of side effects you're expected to just put up with when taking longterm meds or if i have a legit grievance that is worth reassessing what i'm on because i feel like such a whiny fraud lol.....

Anon who asked about the coloring here. Gotcha! Hope that didn't come off as rude! I just saw that piece you did of the bad kids at the diner and LOVED the highlighting on it!

dw it didn't, and I'm glad you enjoy the piece! just mostly taking the opportunity to make clear where I come from in this space (I do what I want and I have fun and u can have fun too if u'd like)

fun medical times general don't look warning if such things gross you out/you get angry about misdiagnosis etc

when I was a kid I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. Great, fine, explained why my knees (and hips though that wasn't picked up for another couple years) didn't bend past right angles and were approximately the shape of a pufferfish. With a bit of treatment I got most of the range of motion back and the puffiness reduced a bit.

there were a few things that never quite gelled like how my blood tests never showed inflammation, x-rays showed no damage in the joints, and anti rheumatic drugs were markedly less useful than simple pain medication and anti inflammatories. But those my GP could manage so the rheumatologists shuffled me off their books.

last year my GP said, well, it's been a decade since you saw a specialist and your pain seems to be getting worse but I don't want you on some of these pain meds forever so let's get someone to look at you. public system said no, there's no inflammation in the blood tests, she's not high priority. GP said, hm, still not happy, want to try private? Me with health insurance and in chronic pain etc said, sure, why not.

specialist says, well, I'm not sure there's much I can do, but let's get you an MRI of one of your knees so we can check what's going on in there.

ever had a medical appointment start with the words, 'your scan results were very interesting'?

turns out I do not have and have have had rheumatoid arthritis.

turns out I have something so rare that I couldn't find a single layperson language resource about it

he got a scan of the other knee and fished out one done of my hips age about fourteen and turns out not only do I have this extremely rare condition; where most people who get it only ever get it in one joint, I have it in four joints: both knees and both hips

this thing is called lipoma arborescens and it's basically just gunk. It limits range of motion and caused pain through purely mechanical obstruction. It can basically only be diagnosed through MRI imaging or cutting open the joint to look, and even MRI has become much better over time: looking at the fuzzy, low-res 15-year-old MRI of my hips, even through my thwarted fury about e misdiagnosis I can kind of see why they didn't catch it.

other key things about lipoma arborescens that distinguish it from rheumatoid arthritis: it doesn't damage bone; it doesn't cause inflammation; and it doesn't respond to anti rheumatic drugs.

recommended treatment is just to go into the joint and cut it out: 'early synovectomy'.

that caused me to choke on a laugh and tell the specialist, you're twenty years too late for early.

but it's one knee down now. Today a knee surgeon went in there and did his thing. In his exacting medical terminology he told me 'there was quite a bit of the stuff in there, but I got most of it out'.

So I'll have a bunch of physiotherapy to do and an exciting new scar across my knee cap. and if it helps, I guess we line up for rounds 2-4.

Divine madness is achieving the ecstacy of a beautiful drawing only to plummet into the depths of agony when you realize that the next step is to add color and potentially ruin it.
