Maybe many of you have already realized it for a long time, but I just got it today while reading the Player Guide.
Agents of Edgewatch brings a whole lot of potential to the table: it can be a modern version of Curse of the Crimson Throne. Long over-arching campaign staged in an urban environment where the characters are guards. Does it ring a bell?
Now, let’s analize the pros of this archetype of adventures:
Fixed stage: having a single big city as the main stage makes so every bond you make with the environment is significant and long lasting. (for GCP fans: think of how funny Tom Exposition is and how sad it is to meet him only when the episode is staged in Trunau) Since the reward for bonding and interacting is enhanced by frequency, your player will be more involved with what you show them.
Vigilante trope: in almost every party there is someone that wants to be the Batman but, in order to be Batman, you need a Gothatm to protect. You can’t be as good of a Batman while portal jumping.
Guards and Skyrim memes: I was an adventurer like you till I got an arrow in the knee. Ya know…
Streamlined quests progression: being part of the Watch (oh, there is more potential for a recurrent pun) means that someone constantly tells you what to do. Now, this isn’t for everyone but I think that the “Quest giver (!) à Quest Reward (?)” Structure is something very familiar to many of us and it also helps visualize what you are looking for/what you are doing. I swear to you this wasn’t always clear to my players in Age of Ashes. You delve into a dungeon, focus on killing everything and “why did we come here in the first place anyway?”. It also helps chaining up events since once you’ve completed a chapter, the next one is simply opened by the next assignment.
But this promise to be even more awesome (and CotCR is hands down one of the best APs they wrote; idk about playing it but reading it was a blast). For starters you are in the biggest city in the known Golarion. If you become someone in Absalom, you’re someone in the whole world. Since you are in Absalom, events in this campaign will most likely be of the same scale of some of the last 1e APs. We’re talking of the scale of rising of nations, return of ancient lore characters and the like. One thing that we (me and my party) are sad about the old APs we played (Rise of the Runelord, Second Darkness and Skull&Shackles) is thay didn’t have major built-in changes to the setting. Many old APs just focus on s

Hi everyone!
I'm Stephen, the maker of Recurrence for iOS & macOS. I made Recurrence to scratch a personal itch I've had for several years. Traditional to-do apps typically focus on the current and the future, but I've always wanted to be able to look back historically. For many tasks it's helpful to see when they were last done & be able to record notes alongside that history. Recurrence makes this possible! It's great for tracking automotive maintenance, bills, pet tasks, chores, and so much more.
I've just released version 3.3.0 with support for Siri Shortcuts. I'd love for the app to help others get organized as we head in 2022!
Recurrence is a free download with ad support and a five-task limit. You can remove ads and unlock unlimited tasks with Recurrence Premium — available as a monthly or annual subscription. A lifetime unlock is also available as a single purchase as well.
For the giveaway, leave a comment with something you'll start tracking with Recurrence. I'll select 5 users to receive a free-time lifetime unlock of Recurrence Premium.

Eternal Recurrence is, if you're not familiar with it, the idea that our awareness (incl. the awareness of pain) will come into being again and again and again and again ad infinitum (empirical definition). Our awareness/consciousness is very likely an emergent property of our atomic configuration (brain) X, but this property [your conciousness] could also emerge from another, perhaps COMPLETELY different particle constellation (brain/body) Y, and, I mean, why the fuck not?? That could mean, that, once you're dead and no longer exist with us, your awareness could emerge, perhaps, millions of years from now on on another planet or even another, potentially existing universe in some alien slugs body getting devoured by some terrifying-looking otherworldly insects, and you wouldn't fucking know the difference between an hour or millions of years being dead, since you have no perception of time (after all, the dead are not stuck in a dark, empty space for an infinite amount of time from "their" perspective, since there is no "them" to experience time. So it's "boom, you're dead", end of the story, assuming that eternal recurrence does not hold true of course). So, according to this hypothesis, you're gonna wake up from a host body over and over again, only to be tortured and killed over and over again, forever, meaning that hell actually exists, more or less.
Lemme put it in another way. A function f(x) can be c for an infinite amount of x. For example, there are an infinite amount of solutions for sin(x) - 1 = 0, not just one. So your awareness of your environment's stimuli and your inner turbulences, like experiencing pain from touching a hot stove, can not only necessarily exist within one brain or neuro system, but in potentially infinite amounts of "host bodies". That being said, I think my wording with a "host body" can be very misleading and one could think I'm speaking of mysticism and New Age bullshit. I'm not talking about metaphysical "souls", the mind being separate from the body (mind-body dualism), the afterlife or religious notions of reincarnation and a karmatic universe, no.
So, what's the counter-argument I spoke of in the title? So there's this one paradox I found, many years ago, by thinking about recreating (exactly recreating) humans, atom by atom, and what implications it would have, speaking of the philosophy of the ego/the self, and the paradox I found (I'm sure I'm not the only one) - to which I refer to as the "

Scanxietty and effects of about 20 different drugs were making me think it was back but it's amazing to have this peace of mind for the first time in a long time.
If anyone out there is having issues with recurrence and is being told they might need an Allo transplant please feel free to ask me any questions. Obviously I still have more scans left but so far everything is going the way its supposed to.
My old PC is making me stressed and making my life a living hell, I can't quit my all day sitting job since it's my work and I love it, I try to work around the office as much as I can but I need something to minimize or obliterate the recurring PC.
Is laser hair removal worth it? If yes what's the best type i should get? What are is the important one to get hair removed from?
If not what techniques should I use (Cream, razor, trimmer)?
At the meantime I'm using an electric trimmer every 1 month around the cleft and upwards like the whole area but should I go inside the natal cleft above my anus or its not necessary(it's a hard and painful area)? Where and how should I trim?
I need something every time I have a little bit of pain I go to my doctor pay money to tell me there's nothing, I ask what should I do and the answer as always keep the area clean and hair free without giving me valid and reliable answer. I'm wasting money and can't get the advice I need and now there maybe quarntine in the following month so I need to see what should I do before or after?
In 2018 I had Green laser surgery for prostate cancer. There were 19 nodes on the right side according to a 3T MRI.
Dont remember my Gleason score but it was high.
For 2 years I had lupron injections.
My PSA tests would come back zero.
A few months ago PSA tested 2.5.
Yesterday it came back 4.3.
I've even had a couple of emissions but they hurt like hell because my tubes are all dried up.
I'm 80 yo too.
Need I be worried?
I was diagnosed with LSIL on my pap almost a year ago. Colposcopy showed LSIL/Cin 1. A pap in summer was negative. The in late fall I had a pap/HPV test and both were negative.
What is the chance that my next pap in a couple months will also be clear? I’m a bit confused on when I can go back to regular screening intervals. Is it if my next pap is negative, as well?
To start off, I did have surgery to remove my pilonidal cyst back in July 2021. It was one where the surgeon basically scraped out all of the infected flesh (straight down the the bone) and then stitched me back up. I have a 3 inch scar that starts just above the crack and ends about 0.5 inches inside it.
About a month or two ago, I noticed a little bump that formed on top of the scar. This freaked me out, but the doctor had assured me that it was my body breaking down one of the sutures. Eventually this went away. Now, another bump has appeared but it is very different than what it was last time. This new bump has a little white head on it. Very similar to the cyst when it would close up on its own. This new bump also formed right on top of the scar in the same exact spot where the last bump was (but the suture should be gone, right???). It doesn't hurt to sit down, the bump doesn't feel warm, but it is kinda tender to the touch. It makes me incredibly anxious to sit down or lean my lower back against anything because I don't know what will happen if this new bump were to pop and what it would do to the surrounding scar tissue.
I have a doctors appointment next week to get it looked at, but my anxiety is through the roof. I've dealt with this for about 5 years and I can't have it reoccur. I can't afford to be off work for another month (not to mention recovery was absolute hell)! But, I wanted to ask you guys, especially those who have had recurrences after surgery, if their recurrence happened right on top of their incision scar (or any scar). I can't find anything similar to it on Google, I can't find any images that remotely resemble what my condition looks like, and at this point Google just thinks of have extreme acne on my butt! I just don't know what to think and the anxiety will not stop and it really derailed me at work today. If you guys have any advice, I will be ever so thankful!!!
Hi all,
After years of it being quiet I have had a recurrence again (third one in my life) last July that needed to be lanced and drained (ie squeezed out) by my GP. It has been uneasy ever since and since the end of November I basically go on and off: infection - drainage - quiet for a few days - infection - drainage - etc... this cycle is on its fourth recurrence now. It drains pus and blood. I keep it clean, but nothing seems to break this cycle now and I’m at my wits end. This is no way to live and I feel extremely defeated and sad. Do any of you experience these recurrence cycles too? Do you have any suggestions for me?
I know I’ll have to schedule a surgeon’s consultation but I’m scared af. Also, due to Covid, the local hospital that does laser surgery and, if that’s not feasible, a bascom cleft lift, has suspended all non-life threatening care and surgeries to divert the scarce resources to the ICUs.
has anybody had a low grade myxofibrosarcoma/lgfms? if so, did it recur? i know there is a very slim chance that it does come back, but it’s still scary. thaanks :)
I am on my second round of cdiff and can’t believe how much easier this one is on my body than my first bout with cdiff (which was just a couple weeks ago). My first cdiff round was so severe—fevers, nonstop mucus, awful pain. I have had all the typical symptoms this time but it’s been much milder (mainly way less pain).
Has anyone felt this way too? I had assumed if I got cdiff again, it would be as bad as the first time. It helps that my doctor immediately started me on higher dose of Vanco (1000 mg a day vs. 500 mg a day last time).
I'm in remission for one month now, currently undergoing radio. There's 3 more months of treatment for me.
And even though I was happy after the scans saying I'm clean came and my pain started to go away, the fear of it coming back is something that I hate already.
My doctors said I have low chance (about 20%) of recurrence and that they don't plan any further treatment for me, no oral chemo, no anything. They believe I'll be fine after the radio and last 5 chemos are done.
But I don't know, I'm kinda scared. If it was just 5%, then alright, whatever. But 20% feels like a lot. And now I have to wait 3 to 5 years for the recurrence risk to go down to 1%...
What makes me most anxious is the emotional stress, which causes muscle tension in my chest. The lungs are the most common site for Sarcoma recurrence, so when I feel anything unpleasant on my torso, I kinda panic and then it gets worse. It's confirmed to just be the stress thing, but it's the worst.
I'm definitely going to therapy after treatment for some time.
How do you cope?
It appears that Orcrist and Glamdring were forged in the first age by the high elves of the west. Glamdring, the foe hammer, was the sword of the king of Gondolin.
Balin says in the Hobbit, "Swords are named for the great deeds they do in war." It would be a cool continuity if the show featured Glamdring, Orcrist, or even Sting. Seeing what the sword was named for would be cool and what happened to the sword.
Although 3 months ago I had my first negative result (hoping for consecutive negatives in the next 2 years), I would like to hear your experience with recurrence since I couldn’t find much in the literature.
Question: What is the likelihood of high-risk HPV returning?
Have you had a positive test after being negative? If so, after how many years and what strain was it?
Or if you have been negative for how long?

More specifically, did Nietzsche mean we’d live this exact life, every moment of it, again and again for eternity? Did he mean it literally or as a mindset we should have in life? If he meant it literally then how does it work that time “moves forward” yet when I die I return to relive my life again? Does each individual inhabit their own universe in which they’re eternally bound to? Would this include animal life too?
How can I fully understand such a recurrence function? --> How can I fully understand such a recursive function?
I am waiting for the wise man to teach me how to fully understand such a function.
I also tested positive with swabbed test yesterday. And experiencing the first outbreak ever.
Hello, stuck on calculating this equation. I have read a lot of materials on this topic but I can not find the answer.
n = 11 V(0) = 0 V(11) = 10
V(n) = (x * 0.02 / 1 + V(n-1)) * (1 / 1 + 0.02 * 1) = 10
I'm weak in this topic and maybe I didn't make something exact, in general I need to get 10 in 11 repetitions, but I can't find x.
I had shingles almost 5 years ago. Typical case in terms of rash on trunk, stuck to one side. Non-typical would be that I started antiviral meds late and have been dealing with PHN. Nerve pain seemed especially bad but the worst symptom was a general feeling of feeling very unwell (the best and only way I can really describe it).
What I’m interested in hearing/knowing is if anyone has felt like shingles has come back but not quite in “full force”. For example, in the last few years, I’ve had periods of time where for a couple weeks, I get that feeling of unwell again. No rash, not really terrible nerve pain but maybe some. But really just fatigue, maybe even some depression, and that overwhelming feeling that my body is fighting through something.
My hunch is that this is a lesser resurgence of shingles. One time when this happened, I was able to convince a doctor that it was shingles and they gave me Valtrex which helped greatly. Has anyone else experienced this? Had success treating? My primary care doctor retired last week so if I need to convince someone new of this it would be good to know of other success stories.
Thanks in advance!
