OP if you want slower paced games to enjoy and relax to why don't you get Xenoblade 3 and Soul Hackers 2? Xenoblade is real-time but it's not an action RPG everything is determined by stats so you can play it like a turn-based game. Soul Hackers 2 is straight up turn-based.

It does sound like you've limited yourself by wanting one specific thing and not getting it. A dark fantasy political thriller JRPG with AAA budget.

You can't get that story you want but you CAN get turn-based RPGs which fit your criteria of having a more controllable pace and more cerebral gameplay.

I believe you live in the US so I can imagine getting some help can be really difficult with how fucked the healthcare system is. But I really do hope you could get some mental health support because it really sounds like you need it.

being fair, plenty of people have kids for the sake of manufacturing some meaning and it can be just as much an attempt to fill a void that could be filled with other things

then they realize kids are a ton of work and they aren't willing to put in that work but it's the one commitment you can't walk away from, and they end up dead tired and resentful and stressed 24/7

 :yeshrug

Oh, for sure.  Having kids is probably not the route 'ol PS should take, anyway -- and it's not the route for a lot of people.  Just meant that gaming isn't going to bring him that meaning.

PS need to log off of social media and ERA especially. Sit down and think what really makes them feel happy in life. It's especially foolish to seek life advice on ERA, a place constantly swamped in negativity and cynicism. That only seems to care about policing the thoughts and actions of their own.

Oximeters are only intended to be used by white people? :crazy

Medicine still has a long way to go as far as incorporating different races, hell genders even we aren’t that far past a time when women weren’t even involved in drug studies, into device testing and qa.  She’s not really that far off on this one.

Inequality in medicine is actually a big problem that goes even beyond race.

Patents and copyrights are keeping developing countries from creating their own cheap medicine.
Certain live saving treatments aren't covered by insurance and only available for the rich and famous at private clinics.

During the COVID pandemic many more minorities died than any other group.
All the attention though went to the Yoga moms and truck drivers who didn't want to get vaccinated.
Not to mention big pharma is as protected as the big banks when they fuck up in a big way and turn a generation into addicts.

unless part of the reason it hasn't been fixed is because it's not a statistically significant difference that causes noticeable damage/risk

we need to know more than "0.2 to 0.4 fewer liters per minute of oxygen"

how much is normally provided? 1 liter per minute, or 10, or 20? what kind of tolerance is acceptable without any adverse effects?

what if science comes out 5 years from now that discovers hospitals have been delivering a bit too much oxygen which applies undue stress to the respiratory system, and non-whites have been given a more appropriate amount all along?

I get ya but do you recall PlanetSmasher actually ever being happy? He's been getting threadbanned from SonyERA threads for whining about how much he hates everything since the start. Wasn't he like this on NeoGAF.com too?

It seems less like he's getting worse than he's stayed mostly the same yet a large chunk of the rest of the forum has moved towards his worldview.

I'm curious, do people with CCTV have an obligation to hand it over to the police for evidence if requested? Is this just an extension of that?
Cops have knocked & asked me for my camera's footage before and I just said it doesn't work. Not much they can do if you say that. Well, unless you have a Ring camera lol

Fuck off, piggy. Do it the ol ' fashioned way. Look at ya!

...and, just like that, police were unable to charge the white supremacist with the hate crime murder of the innocent black man.

Health inequalities are more likely dictated by socio-economic background. It just so happens that migrants and minorities are usually overrepresented in lower socio-economic groups and therefore overrepresented in poor health outcomes.

There are some genetic factors involved for some groups, but this is not universal across all minority groups.

Ok Gregory.

I genuinely want to know the resulting effects but the study seems to be paywalled and I'm not sure if it goes into that aspect of it anyway

if the implications are that 0.2% of minorities hooked up to pulse oximeters die or suffer permanent damage due to this discrepancy, then yes, that's a huge concern

"I'm not a purtian" doesn't hold much water on a videogame forum where people get offended when someone calls them gamer.

Also reading the thread it's amazing how much they go back and forth between "Only the authorial intent matters!" and "The authorial intent doesn't matter at all!" (in cases of the designer being a woman)

I know it makes me the biggest monster here since Marrec, but I cannot stand the term “trans genocide” nor the people that use it without irony.  Charged words like “genocide”, “racism”, etc. continue to lose all meaning because of us living in an age of narcissistic perma-victims.

The post the dude was replaying was also pretty dumb:

Quote
.Do you really not see the difference between something like the "shy melon boobs girl" porn fantasy in Xenoblade 2, or the obvious "lets make this girl almost nude to pander to the male audience" like Quiet and the way Bayonetta is potrayed? These women (or in X2 case young looking girls) are just there to arouse and please a male audience.

Bayonetta sexualization is, at least in the first 2 games, obviously completely over the top. Its not even sexy or meant to be "arousing", it is a ironic view (and honestly I don't know a guy that is aroused by Bayonetta games) and the Bayonetta character even made fun this in game.

Yeah, totally not made to be arousing.

NeoGAF.com members got upset with Evilore banning people and made a spin-off forum and apparently the mods are hunting down anyone who links to it in PMs: https://icon-era.com/

Your may be wondering what the future has in store for IconEra - This is an interesting topic. There's only a few things, but I'd like to make it very clear on what you can count on. As a lot of you may understand, running a forum is an expensive task. We're not just talking about server, but we're also talking about all the nice and handy add-ons that make your engagement more fun, as well as quality of life improvements that may come as we grow.

That said, we will, at some point in the future, be introducing some sort of paid membership that gives you a few additional perks - We have a price in mind, and a list of perks you'll be getting, but all will come in due time. This will also mean that we'll also add some sort of ad scheme to the website. I can promise this won't be too intrusive, and that we'll make a conscious effort to not have ads be in your way, but it will help us gather some revenue so that we can continue to do better, and hopefully grow this forum to be the gaming place to be. Nevertheless, this is not something that is coming tomorrow, and we'll always be transparent and share with you our timelines as we determine them.

On a final note, you are the key to our future. The more members we get, the bigger we can grow, and the more diverse our discussions will become. We welcome all kinds of gamers, supporting every plastic box, and only ask that you abide by our Terms of Service so that we can keep the interactions pleasant and productive. Please be sure to share our forum with any of your acquaintances that may be interested in participating, and in social media. It's as simple as sharing https://icon-era.com.

Thank you for your time and look forward to seeing this community growing!

After my ban on GAF and i heard about this place i said i will try anything it can't be that bad right?
Even after what all the people on GAF said of how this place is all Sony Pony from the Owner Bryank75
Who i knew from my time on GAF is a hardcore Sony Pony
I remember how Bryank was not happy after Microsoft bought Bethesda LMAO funny shit

So wile this place look ok at first it is not really it run by entirely Sony Pony's but no bias what so ever right guys ;)
The gaming discussion on here are truly pathetic disgusting even it is nothing but Sony Ponys circle jerking each other cocks off and slobbering over Jim Ryan Nuts
All the threads about Xbox or anything else you see the usual Sony Pony suspect come in and post their circle jerking cool i don't mind
But how do you expect to be taken seriously when it is this one sided here?
Im trying to bring more people from all other gaming space here who are not total Sony Pony shill's

The Moderations here are more Relax than GAF but for how long really? you say we can have discussion about gaming even troll bait whatever etc...
Just no personal attacks or racist remarks right which i have no problem following
But Mods need to mind their own business they go in thread talking shit telling people to do this do that wile no personal attacks or racist remarks were said
Does that sound like another team of Bitch ass made Mods from anywhere hmm that right it the GAF MOD team ding ding ding lol

So Darth Vader if you have the balls post what me and you were talking about in the DM here for everyone to see
I know you won't you are the type of bitch made pussy that delete user comment and locked thread just like the bitches on GAF do
Grow a set of balls and stop being so weak minded fucks i left GAF because of that bullshit & you think i will stay here just for you to do the same?
Fuck no i won't

If all you Sony Pony's on here are not thin skin bitches you will leave this thread open for everyone to see & reply and discuss
That is what i give props to the MODS on GAF for doing wile they are bitches they did not locked my ban thread there or at the time of posting this they didn't
So if you are truly more free and open here as you guys claim you are do not locked or delete this thread matter of fact sticky it
Show it proudly wear it with pride as the saying goes lol trust me this drama will actually bring you guys more traffic & you need more traffic
So wile im going away im actually helping you guys here one last time as a going away present
Wile another saying would be Sex sells well so does Drama

So peace out guys i had fun this past 3 days or so here lol but how does a forum that say it more free and open with less bitch made Moderations
How do i only last like 3 days here wile i lasted over 2 Years on GAF lol so Owner & Mods team of Sony Ponys here need to rethink their shit
I know i sure did that why i bounce so have fun guys peace out no hate just love from me to you 😍


Sincerely:
The Legendary Warrior known on many Forums as Craig of War strikes again owning all candy asses that turn their backs on what was promise to him

But If you want that smoke come see me ill be on d-pad.life for now but for how long that depends on the MODS over there too lol

This is extremely misleading, not least because 1) if someone is in the ICU, the care team isn’t likely relying on a pulse oximeter to titrate respiratory support, since that is a setting where invasive monitoring is available (like a pulmonary arterial catheter), and the stated differences in the study are effectively negligible. 0.2 to 0.4 LPM is essentially no difference when the flow regulator is denominated in full liters per minute.


https://www.resetera.com/threads/study-dark-skinned-patients-get-less-icu-oxygen-due-to-flawed-device.606852/page-2#post-89913600
Quote from: Kin5290
The minimum amount of supplemental oxygen you can give someone who is acutely hypoxemic using a typical flowmeter is 1 liter per minute at 21% FiO2 (basically atmospheric concentration). However, most caregivers will default to 2 LPM since you can hardly tell a difference until then. Keep in mind that most home oxygen devices can supply up to 4 LPM to those who need it (aka those with severe chronic pulmonary disease), and providers on the medical floor typically won't blink at someone needing up to 6LPM with special tubing.

Back when my unit dealt with COVID patients during the early stages of the pandemic, we would deal with severely ill people receiving up to 15 LPM, which is as high as the regulator goes, before we would need to kick them over to the ICU.

In the ICU, hypoxic patients in respiratory failure can receive up to 60 LPM at 100% FiO2 (pure oxygen) from a Heated High Flow Cannula before needing to be advanced to BiPAP and, failing that, intubation and mechanical ventilation.

So when these researchers say that on average people of color received 0.2 to 0.4 LPM less than their white counterparts, I can say that this likely had no to minimal impact with their care. The fact is, we treat patients, not the blue number on the monitor and it's associated pleth. If someone looks like they're having labored breathing but they're hanging out with a SpO2 of 92%, a nurse will probably throw some oxygen on them anyways, regardless of their skin color.

Not to mention that this study took part in an ICU, where invasive blood oxygen monitoring is much more available, which provides a degree of selection bias in this study's sample. Come to think of it, the only way the study authors could have gotten approval for the serial ABGs they used as their "gold standard" is if their patients had arterial access where the samples could be drawn from, since repeated radial artery sticks would probably introduce way too much risk of bleeding/hematoma and injury.

Reported those posts and a couple others for Racist dogwhistling and downplaying concerns about intentionally racist murders.

I hate that we live in a society where an elderly Black man can be murdered by openly racist doctors and racist medical companies who try to excuse their violence by saying they didn't intend to kill him because it was just a little unplanned chaos that their devices told them to refuse oxygen to any Black person so when he comes in with a few natural injuries from playing with some local kids he winds up dying exactly as the doctors and medical companies intended so they can profit off capitalism. It's time to start getting justice against these racists as you can't rehabilitate this shit, these people are too far gone and their families probably refuse to cut them off. By any means necessary. No cops either, they'll just stick up for their fellow whites.

people are confusing incest with statutory rape. if two consenting adults who happen to be related want to do things to each other, i don't care.  yes it's gross, it's creepy but it shouldn't be illegal and it's definitely not criminal.

of course if this started when the nephew was under 16 then that's criminal - the statutory rape part, not the incest part.  a quick google search shows that the age of consent in Puerto Rico is 16, so take that in mind.

Psh. So 2021, man.

He's on the shit list now. For some reason.

Trying to comprehend and understand majority of Era's constant seesaw of opinions, is like going UP a DOWN escalator.

Just continue to enjoy what YOU like regardless of the opinions here. You'll be much happier for it when you realize the opinions of a bunch of narcissistic strangers on a internet forum don't make who you are as a person.

It's a forum with tons of users and tons of opinions, opinions that can change depending on how 1) the person in question is acting at the time and 2) how the user perceives the action given the political and/or social climate.

It's not complicated. You're just annoyed by users not liking what you like, and want to be free to like something without said annoyance. You don't want the burden of having to consider others opinions bringing down your enjoyment of something. That's fine.

I couldn’t care less what users like or don’t like. I literally don’t have the room in my circulation for such things when there are bigger, more important priorities in both my life, and life in general. It’s a useless endeavor to care about such things.

I do however, find it fascinating to see certain instances of hypocrisy that happens especially here every now and then. With people that are either truly awful, or people that strangers on the internet were basically gang piling on this news story at first, that talked about a girl who was taking advantage of a school, but turned out to be something completely different and actually depressing for her situation. I can’t quite remember the name of that story though.

It's a forum. You're looking for a mental/moral consistency that can't exist here.

Not really looking cause it implies I’m even trying to find something, when it just so happens to appear on a daily basis right in front of me.

But my opinions on such topics in a thread about a stand up special is off-topic. So I think I’ll steer in a different direction if it’s all the same to you my friend.

I imagine in Burr’s stand up, that when he ever talks about certain taboo topics like cancel culture or what not, he will do what he usually does and that’s sorta roast himself in saying something along the lines of “this is coming from an opinion of a overly rants and angry white man” like he usually does.

There's no point wasting your time typing all of this out. He's not going to reply or acknowledge it. If your post doesn't give him an excuse to complain about games and requires him to acknowledge his own issues he won't engage with it.

I don't think he's a troll purposely trying to waste people's time or make them feel bad with his constant negativity, but I also don't think he cares that it's detrimental to others.

Let me be blunt, Zero. You've known me for long enough by now that I can be blunt with you. Just because I cannot write a essay explaining all the ways I have literally tried to fix my busted-ass life doesn't mean I haven't tried. It doesn't mean I haven't considered what people have told me. Guess what: I've been on vacation! It didn't help! I've been to therapy! It didn't help that much either! The only thing that would fix me is being someone other than who I am, because guess what: nobody in this fucking forum loathes me more than I do.

Good night. I'm done.
