  • Not a doctor but maybe something I’ve done will help you out. Stretching my calves everyday and going to a wide toe box shoe like Altra or Topo brought my plantar fascitis to an occasional minor soreness. I get soreness/pain in my left knee inside so I do squats and lunges if my mileage isn’t keeping it strong enough, usually in the winter when I get lazy.

    I like zero drop shoes a lot but it’s recommended you switch gradually to allow your gait to adjust and all the under used muscles develop. Some love them, some hate them, might be worth trying on.










  • My best friend of 15 years told me, when I had a rough patch, that he’s there for me just reach out but unless I initiate he would treat any interaction as just a normal day.

    Throughout the rough patch I choose not to speak of it and just treated our hang outs as a chance to get away. He choose to support me in the only way he knew how and the only way he was comfortable with. I was not comfortable and didn’t know how to ask for more support. It’s about 7 years from then and my parents still don’t know, I just don’t know how to ask for and engage with emotional support. I am completely weirded out by the concept of talking about my emotions and somebody else caring, it gives me a high level of anxiety.

    TLDR: small male friend groups with limited experience providing or receiving emotional support are unlikely to provide explicit emotional support and there’s a good chance if you’re a man who needs it you don’t know how to ask



  • I’m 60 hours in and haven’t touched the outpost, ship building, or equipment modding. Main quest and 2 faction side quests completed. I’ve enjoyed my time and bought the game with the expectation that it would be FO4 with some things improved some things worse and a new setting.

    There are definitely failings and it’s not a 10/10 game but for a lot of people it’s a great game. The proc gen system needs more variety but that can be improved through updates and mods. If you prefer handcrafted content follow the quests and you’ll see minimal repeats of the POIs. I don’t regret my purchase one bit and would be fine if no DLC, mods, or updates happen even though I prefer they do. End of the day make your own decision based on what you like just realize it’s not a dumpster fire and not the perfect game that everyone should run out and play.



  • I’m loving the game, about 18 hrs in. A lot of the complaints are a positive to the right people like system tutorials are “hey this exists, have fun” rather than making you sit through long explanations, you can ignore tons of content if you want. Don’t want to do outposts that’s fine buy or mine yourself, don’t wanna build a ship buy a premade. The game is a Bethesda RPG with a lot of area separate from the main quest, if you wanna explore there’s 1000 planets, if not there’s a handful of really cool ones the quests lead you to.

    Performance wise she’s a hungry game. I’m at recommended and I get 50-70 fps, 1080p, medium settings, FSR 2 for most spots. Even when it dips into the 30s I only notice because I have an overlay counter. Few minor bugs and hiccups. If you liked Elder Scrolls or Fallout check it out. Some people will love it for years to come, others will hate it with a passion.
