    They got it just right with the first Mega Man X I think. The difficulty and flow of the game is perfect. I've only ever beaten the second one of the classic games. I bought 1 - 4 many years ago, but the Yellow Devil in the first game made me rage quit, haha.

    Warning for People with Noxacusis: For the Love of God, Protect Your Ears!

    This is the longest lasting setback I've ever had. Usually the pain lasts for 2 - 5 days, and now it's been over two weeks. Maybe I'm slightly better than a week ago, but it's very minor. Have you seen any improvement yet? You are really strong and brave for living with this, it is one of the...

    Steroids: Prednisone / Dexamethasone / Others (Oral and Intratympanic Injections)

    I managed to get a prescription for Prednisolone today. I took 30 mg about 8 hours ago and I'm feeling like shit right now. I think my tinnitus is louder (I already had a spike) and there are so many tones... Also have pretty bad anxiety. Is it common to get louder tinnitus at the start of...

    Fair points. I've only played X2 and X3 once, and I did it back to back so they are like one unit in my memory. Will replay some day. Have you played anything after X4? From what I've seen I don't think I will bother.

    Thanks for all the information. I'm still not better and I'm in a really bad place right now. Some days I wake up almost without pain but all it takes to set it off again is a quick shower or talking to someone for a few minutes. How long have your minor setbacks lasted generally? I stayed at...

    Now playing: Live A Live (Switch) RPG by Square originally released exclusively in japan in 1994 for the Super Famicom. Here it is remade in the same beautiful art style as Octopath Traveler (they call it HD-2D) with added voice overs. It's a really interesting and unique game where you play...

    Warning for People with Noxacusis: For the Love of God, Protect Your Ears!

    Thanks for your reply, it means a lot. I don't know if I would be comfortable doing acupuncture on myself, but I will look into DMSO and Magnesium. Where exactly do you apply the oil? I just tried putting a hot water bottle to my ear, and I think it changed one of my tinnitus tones. Odd.

    Prednisone Made My Tinnitus Worse :(

    Did the Prednisone help your hyperacusis or ear pain at all? I'm on the fifth day of worsened pain and sound sensitivity and was thinking if it would be worth a try. Really scared that this is becoming the new normal.

    After multiple minor noise incidents last week I'm having pain in my bad ear that is far beyond my usual burning sensation. It feels like it's coming from deep inside the ear and I feel pain in my face and even my arm on that side. It is really really horrible. It's been near constant for four...

    @Steph1710 I think I have read that you have Pulsatile Tinnitus as well. How is it going with that? I hear my blood flow really loud in the ears as soon as my pulse goes up. Also annoying but not as much as regular Tinnitus.

    That is one, Frigid Outskirts is another... At least I liked the bosses. Black Gulch is not fun either, but thankfully it is very short. I think I'm done with Dark Souls 2 now. All bosses are defeated. Don't think I will bother with New Game+. If Dark Souls 1 is a 10/10, I give this a 8/10...

    I have finished the game now and I can see why it's the least popular. There are some really cool areas and there are some that are really, really frustrating. Many bosses go down too easily and often I didn't get the same satisfaction that I remember from the first Dark Souls when beating a...

    It looks amazing. I hope to play it one day. Don't have a console for it yet. I'm currently playing Dark Souls II, and I have been totally obsessed with it the last few days.

    This is Engla, she is a mixed breed. Her father was a Shih tzu and her mother was a Lhasa apso/Tibetan spaniel (I think). The love I feel for this lady can not be put into words. I was 15 when we got her, she is 15 now. :) Photo is from 2016.

    Cool! It's been a few years since I played it, but if I remember it correctly you don't level up in Blasphemous, so it's not as complex as Dark Souls in that regard with stat points etc. You do get this currency from killing enemies though that you can spend on upgrades for your character.

    I got a couple of new games for Nintendo Switch. Infernax is a game similar to Castlevania II: Simon's Quest and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link in which you can choose to be good or evil, so it has a lot of replay value. I have played through it once and it's a decent game, a bit rough around...

    I actually replied to this the other day, don't know why it didn't appear. My tinnitus is not as loud now. Hard to tell if it is back at baseline or not since it fluctuates so much. I can finally pop my ears again and the hearing is back to normal. I am not vaccinated.

    Unexpected indeed, and maybe a bit worrying that it comes so soon, if you think about the time it takes for Nintendo to develop their open-world games. But it looks nice. Will probably get it on day 1 also.
