If it’s longer, prettier, and less fun than the original Max Payne I’m not interested.

I just want a mechanic where your character slowly succumbs to PTSD and tinnitus, making them unplayable, and then you have to navigate the VA to prestige.

Get a one-on-one trainer, talk to your vet. Don’t take the internet’s advice beyond this point.

This is more of a tool, but I have a set of 4” knipex cobra pliers that are perfect for around the house. Just small enough to fit into about any space, super grippy, and you can easily make minute adjustments to the plier spacing. I’ve used them more than any other tool I own.

Oh, and noise-canceling headphones (ideally over-the-ear). Instant quality of life upgrade.

It sounds like you are possibly in an ambulatory role (maybe?) with patient education. My spouse has bounced between a few different floor positions, including ICU, then went to ambulatory, and now does outpatient chemo infusion as sort of a compromise. Each move corresponded with burnout. The floor became too rough, ambulatory became too boring and bureaucratic (but learned a LOT from providers), but the outpatient infusion setting seems to strike a good balance, at least for now. She heavily considered a NP/PA route, but it’s more school, money, and you’re on salary with long hours (no overtime!). Sufficed to say, there’s probably a niche for you too!

Purchased was Tomb Raider II. So worth it because I loved Indiana Jones.

“25 or 6 to 4” by Chicago. He’s a band geek at heart, so the horn section is a must.

Steam EVA Unit is my pick.

Whatever Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow was.

Oh, I didn’t know it had developed into that. Last I dealt with Sony a few years ago they wanted $60/year for multiplayer access only (plus the two shovelware games a month, but come on) and like $170/year for the full suite which had maybe a few games that I wanted to play, but they dropped all the Konami titles. I guess they’re on par now for shittiness — good to know.

PS+ is an expensive fucking joke compared to what you get on Gamepass, last I recall. They’re already overpriced.

Always follow the instructions on the label in case it’s hang-dry only, dry everything on low, turn your jeans inside-out, and never use fabric sheets (wool dryer balls work almost as well without the chemicals).

Leaving without saying a word is the best thing you can do. This will be far from the last time. It’s stupid how much abuse nurses take, and are expected to take. Sadly, the hospital is not there for you, they are there for the paying “customers” no matter how much they say abuse isn’t tolerated.

Also know if someone yells that they’re going to sue, they’re more than likely bluffing — the real lawsuits happen quietly and without announcement. Make sure you always document everything, no matter how trivial, and cover your ass. The chart is where management will go first.

Just a wild guess, the one with all the freedom

I threw up every morning from anxiety.
