Gosh I really love Monster Hunter World but the amount of monsters makes me wanna go back to 4/X..

It had so many by that point in the 4th Gen, it left much more room for way more element options, and for like, subspecies, zany-weird monsters (Khezu, Zamtrios, etc)..

I'm glad they ditched Styles and tweaked the individual weapons instead in World, though. It needed doing, Styles felt like.. A hotfix for the problems, World really opens up the movesets in important ways.

Was trying to remember other sour (sour-bitter, anyway) alternatives, and

Brain: "Quinoa Juice!"

Like.. I can see how you got there (Quinine is the sour-bitter component of Tonic Water), but.. No. Definitely not drinking 'Quinoa Juice'

Though I'm sure I could sell the idea to a startup and someone would

I really love grapefruit juice (and anything super sour tbh <3), and only recently found a shop that sells it (rather than sugary 'juice drink's or some other mix)

So I finally have some..! But then remember I can't drink it with my current meds. >_<

Forbidden juice.. *paws at*

The worst possible example of Strange Loop recursion

"Why do I even say 'why this' anyway? How did that become a standard part of my vocabulary?"
"It's from a Madoka Magicka parody thread. From 2011.."
"No.."
"From 4chan.."
"No!"
"..From /a/"
*sobbing*

I accidentally sleepy-skimmed a bunch of articles on linguistics before morning meds

And now my brain is stuck mangling half-digested language concepts with Dragon's Dogma NPC callouts

"Wolves, Arisen! Their kind ill like Subject-Verb-Object propositions!"

Why this

Huh, I did not realise part of the traditional Chicken Tikka marinade was dahi (kinda yoghurt?).

I think British takeaways have probably skewed my expectations somewhat.

Once care gets sorted I won't have to rely on supermarket readymeals for 90% of my food.. I'll be able to dictate my own ready meals! (having care people batch-cook stuff)

No one bat should have all this power

Okay but

How does "Vegetable Tikka Masala" work

Surely Vegetable Tikka would just be vegetables roasted on a kebab stick*.

Truly an etymological food-shopping crisis to rival The Shroomdog Incident in its ramifications

Vegetarian food seems to cause a lot of those.

(* Bits with no bones in, but most vegetables are polite enough not to grow any in the first place)

This isn't me trying to.. Scare you off them, at all, fwiw. Just um.. Providing my experience/common side effects of common NHS pain meds.

But what side-effects you get and to what degree, and how they balance out vs your pain in terms of impact on yr life.. That's verymuch an individual thing, and an individual decision. It's not something I'd try or wish to to impose my own experiences and decisions upon.

@Doggo ah, crap, howcome re CBD? :(

Fwiw I found the fatigue part.. On opioids I had brainfog and fatigue, and was like

"Welp, if I'm gonna be wondering around in a foggy state of fatigue and loss of cognition anyway, it may as well be from the pain than a constant from the meds. And I do miss having an intact/functional gastrointestinal system"

But you may have a different impact of side-effects, and there are non-opioid pain treatments. Just most of the meds you'll be prescribed for chronic pain are opioid based in some form.
