@deylitesavings So underrated. If it wasn’t for how much they had to cut from what they planned, which makes the beginning of this game super confusing, I think it’d be much more highly revered
Blue Testament boss fight still one of my favs ever. The set up? Theme? Rain in the church? Wow
@ShadowEliteHD I’ll add that I’m really enjoying the game and even some of the mini games, esp Queen’s Blood. It’s just odd how often the game seems intent to slow down its own momentum. Approaching a great story beat? Here, go toss some shit with Cait and here’s a long tutorial for it. Why??
@ShadowEliteHD I think the main issue is how often the Open World is designed to just stop you constantly. Does it need to completely stop you to notify you you completed something? Not really. Do we need Chadley calling constantly? No. Did Gongaga and Condor have to be pains to traverse?
In 1935, two American doctors examined seven women's ovaries and saw small lumps. They called them cysts and named the disease after them. They were wrong. It took 91 years to fix.
What we called PCOS is now Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), announced today in The Lancet by an international panel of doctors and patients. The renaming followed more than a decade of consensus work and 22,000 patient and clinician survey responses.
The lumps Stein and Leventhal saw were never cysts. Modern imaging shows they were follicles, the tiny sacs inside the ovary that grow and release an egg each month, frozen partway through by a hormonal imbalance. PMOS is a multi-system disorder centered in the endocrine system, the body's network of glands that produces hormones like insulin (controls blood sugar), cortisol (the stress hormone), and thyroid hormones (set the body's metabolism). The ovary trouble flows downstream from there.
The naming choice is not academic. When doctors hear "ovary" in a diagnosis, they look at the ovary. "Metabolic" and "endocrine" send them to the whole body.
PMOS affects roughly 1 in 8 women worldwide, more than 170 million people. The WHO estimates 70% have never been diagnosed. Among those who do, 1 in 3 wait more than 2 years, and nearly half see 3 or more doctors first. The CDC reports more than half of women with PMOS develop type 2 diabetes by age 40, a risk 5 to 10 times higher than women without the condition. Around 37% have clinically significant depression, compared with 14% in women without it. Anxiety runs at 42% versus 8.5%.
A label born from a 1935 look at seven ovaries is finally going away. The new diagnostic guidelines roll out fully in 2028. By then, a woman walking into a clinic with these symptoms should hear questions about her blood sugar and her mood alongside her cycle. Those are the parts of the disease the old name hid for 91 years.
We have spent years being told it is “just a period problem” while our skin, our weight, our mood, and our energy were all falling apart. Today, the medical world finally admitted you were right.
PCOS is now PMOS.
@Junksterrr Imagine you spent $70 on shoes and if you didn’t wear them for a month you had to call me and ask me for my permission to wear them.
yes, your phone works but why the fuck do you need permission to use something you bought?
People really saying “just connect to the internet not a big deal” my brother in Christ that’s not the point. God forbid a natural disaster happens or you can’t pay your WiFi bill one month and just can’t play games you PAID for until you reconnect.
It doesn’t matter if you have internet, it’s a matter of principle. You shouldn’t be okay with PS arbitrarily taking away access to games you spent your hard earned money on. The more comfortable you get with this the worse it will get.
We’re frogs in the pot and they’re slowly raising the heat and some of yall aren’t noticing.
@BlackCobra170 We need Xbox to get it together because now that Sony doesn’t have strong enough console competition, they are making the DUMBEST choices
@PlayStationAsia Absolutely insane how the consumer has to keep footing the bill for the bad financial investments made this generation, like Concord.
I got a PS5 in 2021 and it was HARD to get one then. Now it’s easy to get but costs more nearly 5 years later? Insane.
@Spot1B@justalexoki Not even disagreeing with the post because, again, I’ve been on the other end of this, just saying that the “men can’t handle rejection” thing comes from somewhere. I don’t think I’ve ever felt physically threatened saying no to a woman. Just a lil creeped out or disrespected
@Spot1B@justalexoki To clarify, I didn’t say it doesn’t happen. It’d be like saying women don’t abuse men. Just outright incorrect. Of course it happens.
But culturally sexual violence, including murder, happens to women much more commonly than men. There’s a reason they fear that more than men
