I think you're confusing 'making snowmen' with corona virus.

Like I said, they hadn't played for months and just came back to it last week.

Damn, FF7remake is going to be free for PS Plus next month. Guess I'll have to subscribe again.

Yeah, that’s a huge “freebie” for subscribers.

Hello, been meaning to write but I am in horrible pain the last few days from my back. This started a few weeks ago as a small ache on the right side of my back, whatever. Slowly started to radiate down my leg, not the jolt of electricity with numbness of sciatica, this is more an ache that is taking over the leg. Did stretches, took aleve, used pads, nothing seem to change anything. Last three days this kicked into high gear, now sitting only gives me some comfort, the lingering pain is there. My leg is a disaster, I can hardly walk straight on it. The more I sit the worse it is when I stand up. Laying down is horrible, no position works so I can't use my bed, recliner does work either.

Saw the doctor, got prescribed anti inflammatory steroids, said will start to take effect by tomorrow... bah. Put in for an MRI but that could take time. Blood work too. He also told me to stop the aleve or Tylenol... so I’m just dealing with this.

So this is what is driving me mad, I don’t know what I should do to help get refilled or what is making it worse. If it’s a back muscle spasm do stretches. If it’s a slipped disk, rest. If it’s an SI joint, it’s other exercises.  Every time I do the recommended stretches about an hour later everything is worse. Laying down to rest clearly makes it worse, when I get up it’s horrific, all of a sudden today it radiated to my groin, that’s not fun.

Right now the pain is so bad I can’t even stretch if I want to. I’m also basically alone so I have no one to help stabilize me and push.

Anyway I’ll be ok, there are people that deal with much worse, GG, the rest of you dealing with pains, you all deserve a medal. if anyone has any advice I'll take it.

I finally got around to checking all my Joycon for malfunctions so I can ship them to Nintendo.  All 3 of my left Joycon have pretty severe stick drift.  One right one has a fauly shoulder button.  I didn't detect any drift on the right Joycons, but I'm not 100% sure they're unaffected.

I'm going to send in 2 sets and keep the third back a bit longer so the kids can at least use the Switch.  Nintendo better not charge me for this.

Wow, that really sucks to hear there Dvader. Hopefully they figure out what is going on and you can get it all taken care of ASAP.

Damn Vader that sucks. Not to play amateur doctor or anything, but have you tried looking into Tens unit? My wife has a lot of severe back and shoulder pains from a couple different things and it's helped her out quite a bit.


And in gaming news, I'm a complete and utter Hearthstone junkie again. oh well, that year of sobriety was nice. My completed games number for this year is going to pretty much plummet again I suspect oh well, the good news is even taking off 14 months and missing out on three expansions, I'm still pretty decent.


I've gotten pretty high into the silver rankings, which probably isn't that big of a deal, but with a full month to play in March I think I should be able to get to the gold and then start flirting around with the Platinum level.

You knew it would happen! This is on you.

Damn, I hope the steroids help, Vader.
