  1. Gaming Starfield | Metacritic (Series X): 83, OpenCritic: 86

    You have to travel in steps, if it's undiscovered galaxies. Just travel to the one neares you in that direction and so on.
  2. Gaming Starfield | Metacritic (Series X): 83, OpenCritic: 86

    Can't wait to try this, but am so busy with work that I will wait for the 6th. Very curious about trying out the doors. I think they were pretty decent in Skyrim, so if Bethesda exceeded that here I can only dream :drool:
  3. Your plane crashed in an Amazon jungle, how long do you survive?

    This story is amazing. Taking care of a baby and all.
  4. SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)

    Unsurprisingly I tested Covid positive today, just a few days after masks ceased to be compulsory here. Didn't have as much as a common cold in the past three years. I'm not forced to go home and can work Covid-positive. Back to using a mask and disinfecting all the time, to try and not pass it...
  5. Coronation thread

    I watched some good 90 minutes of it, feel kind of guilty.
  6. SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)

    He was one of the first persons I used to understand Covid (other than this thread) and never thought he was too bright in the basic sciences required, seemed to lack some depth. But he was tireless in compiling up-to-date information, which made him very useful. Haven't heard him in three...
  7. SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)

    This was the first week that I worked as a clinical doctor without mask. It feels so strange, after three years. I feel a tiny lingering anxiety getting very close to patients, not Covid specific. It just seems wrong. I welcome seeing people faces though.
  8. Chicago Mayhem

    That's how it's written. Don't ask me where the name comes from, never figured it. EDIT: A play with the words Chicago and Iraq, it seems.
  9. Chicago Mayhem

    I spent a few weeks reading a subreddit called Chiraqology and it is terrifying. Young kids not afraid to identifiy themselves, counting kills, etc, many murders on video. After a few days I could recognize some gang members by name, all extremely young. I remember reading about a 17 year old...
  10. Gaming What is the greatest video game console of all time?

    These are what I owned Master System Mega Drive PS1 PS2 PS3 PS4 Switch XBoxseriesx MS was the second choice gift, the jump to mega was great. PS1, aftear playing Tony Hawk the first time I felt games junped, and then it's evolution from then on. PS1 wins for me. TOCA wasn't a bad racing game.
  11. Opioid Epidemic

    Morphine is quite safe taken on medical doses and formulations. Unless you already take opioids, in which case there will be tolerance, it's effects are rather predictable. I use it plenty in acute very painful conditions like renal colic, shoulder dislocations... Paliative patients I'm also...
  12. Opioid Epidemic

    In my island it's the NPSs ravaging that population.Every day I see them, not sure how deadly they are - the few I've heard have mostly been suicides. But in terms of psychosis they cause, it's a disaster. On the other hand, opioids seem to be gone. Three years working in an ER and only one...
  13. Gaming Hogwarts Legacy (PS5/PC/Switch/Xbox)

    The game looks beautiful. Lots of back and forth so far, I think I'll have to dodge my open-world obsession of not using fast travel. Will endure a bit more as I presume we'll unlock mounts at some point. I know nothing about Harry Potter, I imagine fans of the series will love many things...
  14. Gaming Hogwarts Legacy (PS5/PC/Switch/Xbox)

    Will I have to read a few of the fecking books to enjoy this or is it stand-alonish enough to introduce someone new to the setting? Never watched a movie etc. I'm a sucker for single player open-world games so with these reviews I'll definitely want to play this. And am stupid enough to go...
