Never heard of mumbai flight simulator. In KSP you design, build and then fly rockets, planes, space planes and spacecraft. It’s a one of a kind game.l
Any of the building/management games like Factorio or Dyson Sphere Program or RimWorld. You can definitely make those games extremely challenging (speed runs, achievements, ultra hard modes/challenges). But for me they’re cozy games where I can chip away at a small project or part of a larger project, like, I don’t know, slowly building a scale model or something.
My lungs collapsed 6 times near the end of highschool, i am fairly tall and was on the skinnier side, and tall skinny lungs are prone to do that apparently.
They performed surgeries to pop the blebs (blistery things on the lungs i guess) on my lungs and put some powder between my lungs and the rib cage to “glue” them up during the bleb healing. No idea if it was video assisted though.
Haven’t had any serious issue since then. I was training for a marathon before hurting my calf from not stretching, and then i joined a competitive rowing team, so id say no barriers from that standpoint.
For me at least, it seems after an especially violent puking session, my lungs can lightly collapse, or at least there’s a correlation there. This only happened after a night of fairly stiff drinking so i don’t do that anymore.
The surgeries were about 14 years ago, and i can’t imagine how many chest tubes i would have had if i didn’t get them. For me it was great, i hope they help you out similarly.
I have pretty much the exact same experience, but mine was 30 years ago. If I do something extreme I can still get a partial collapse, but they always heal and aren’t too bad. The surgery is, honestly, the worst thing ive ever experienced (this includes later cancer surgeries) but was worth it in the end.
Yeah, now is definitely going to suck, long term it should be better though. Not getting admitted multiple times in a year is nice.
Avoid abusing the morphine drip, eat the shitty food for a few days, and you’re in the clear more or less. Hopefully you have enough visitors coming by to keep you entertained. Either way I’m rooting for you!
I’ve had VATS twice now. One in 2019 and one in 2021. Both were for a pleurodesis as the pneumothoraxes I experienced refused to self resolve. Zero regrets on both, but I didn’t have a choice, really.
Only pain I was left with is slight discomfort in my left upper chest region if I inhale too deeply while reaching up for things, and some nerve damage that results in a localized burning numbness that extends slightly into my armpit if I press above my right breast. Nerve damage came from the second.
I did have nerve damage from the first that left me numb in a candy bar shape right under my ribs on my left side for a year or so. The numb burning above my breast comes and goes in severity but the severe end has been weakened more and more with time.
I was able to return to normal life. Exercise isn’t an issue as long as I avoid over extending my arms upward. Basically no straining to reach stuff on my left side. I haven’t been swimming in many years, but I can imagine large, powerful strokes could cause me some discomfort.
Life is back to normal for me now, but I do have some anxiety that crops up with chest pains. The worst part of it all in my experience was the chest tubes.
There are few games where winning and losing are equally fun, but Burnout Paradise pulls it off flawlessly.
You hit that turn with the perfect drift? Hell yeah. Oh shit, there was a car waiting for you at that intersection and now you have to watch your car and their car get smashed, crumpled, and tossed like a bag of moldy tangerines in slow motion? Hell yeah.
I got this game a week or 2 after it came out in 2008. There’s literally a whole open city to explore but I remember the first 30-45 minutes I played were spent literally driving up and down the same quarter mile road because I found a split ramp built for barrel rolls but I just wanted to see all the ways I could squish the top of my car with a failed barrel roll and still drive away lol.
I’m not sure what VATS involves but after my 2nd one they removed a bit of the top of my collapsed lung. After everything healed, I it didn’t feel any different than before. So no pain or any restrictions even when doing pretty involved sports.
Same thing they did to me for my first one. Took out roughly a quarter of my left lung and did a pleurodesis cause it was a really bad hole from what I understand.
Tetris Effect. The funny thing is I used to hate Tetris with passion, but somehow Tetris Effect has won me over. The music and sound effects are so ASMRish it’s almost trance-inducing…
FTL is a great chill out game for me. The only problem is I’ve put in so many hours that I’ve practically seen everything! I looked into some interesting mods but just haven’t tried them out yet. When I think about it, FTL shouldn’t be that chill, but there’s a certain simplicity in the gameplay, and the ability to pause all the time, even during combat, gives me the ability to take my time thinking through what I’m gonna do.
Underrated chill out game, agreed, maybe I’ll finally get around to trying some mods.
Yeah I haven’t tried the mods either and I kinda suck at the game but I’ve always felt like it has a low cost to entry, which is why it feels chill to me. A lot of death anxiety in games is due to time investment and, frankly, like BOTW, fear of long loading screens more than any in game punishment.
Ftl has such a satisfying and similar gameplay loop and allows so much pausing that it doesn’t really feel stressful for me. I still hate dying and do it a lot in the game, but I can play ftl with a sort of soft mental focus that many other games don’t allow me to do
