I May Have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, What Specialty Doctor Should I Consult With?

I did the Phalen's Test (you should try it as well, it's just a 60 second test) and I think I have Carpal Tunnel.

I have to schedule an appointment to a specific doctor to avail my HMO (not US), I just don't know which specialty? (e.g. occupational therapy, physical therapy, gynecologist, pediatrician, etc.)

Just Got an 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller, What Now?

The immediate goal is to use it on my potato pc and play Batman Arkham Asylum.

Using the 2.4ghz adapter immediately detected the controller and the game recognized it as well so I could play on the get go.

However, I wanted to try the bluetooth mode which I had trouble with.

And I wanted to try using the back buttons (like mapping it to A so I can use it for sprinting while moving the camera).

1. Do I need to download a software? update firmware?

2. What games would you recommend to take advantage of my new controller (note: I have a potato pc, so probably indie games? or retro games on emulators). I wanted to try Armored Core 3 on PS2 but my PC either couldn't handle it or PCSX2 isn't too compatible for that game.

Young Adults, How Frequent Do You See Your Friends?

Juggling between Work, Family, Rest, and Traffic, seeing my friends once every two months is already good.

I'm just curious if there are others who actually see their friends at least once a week. How do you do it?

What Does Fabric Conditioner Do? And Should I Use It?

I hear people on the internet recommend to not use Fabric Conditioner in their laundry to save the durability of the clothes. In my country, it was the norm to use Fabric Conditioner during laundry so I was at a lost.

Is it actually necessary?

Tip of My Tongue Stealth Game Puzzle in PSX/PS2

I'm pretty sure it was PSX but there's a really small chance it was PS2 because it was so long ago.

Here's some details.

The gameplay is like you are controlling a spy and you need to go to a particular point inside the room without being spotted by enemies, lasers, etc.

The room is like a wireframe room. I think it was either green/blue/orange. This is 3D, 3rd-person view. I remember the enemies are also just polygons (not 100%).

I believe it has self-contained stages.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think this puzzle game is only either the tutorial or just a side-game, not actually the main game.

Can Someone Explain Gemini (2017) to Me?

Spoilers ahead

I just finished watching it and was confused. Either the mystery part was lacking or I'm missing something.

1. What were the coins about? Was it just a red herring?

2. Was it really just self-defense? or was it premeditated or something?

3. Why did the detective insisted on watching the interview even though the case was officially closed?

I still enjoyed the film, it was visually pleasing, it had a unique vibe to it. I especially love the city light scenes in Travy's house.

I was all caught up with the mystery up until the "twist" where it was actually the fan who died. I was waiting for something more cathartic, but apparently that was it. It just left me wanting for more.

7/10 maybe 7.5 if someone explain the ending to me better.

Just Finished Watching Death to Smoochy (2002)

I didn't know what to expect coming in to this film. All I knew that it had Robin Williams, and I found the film from a clip of him dancing through the streets and faceplanting to the wall (btw just watch the whole thing, it's a great love letter to the late Robin Williams).

I was disappointed that the MC wasn't Robin but was Ed Norton who plays Smoochy. Only for a bit though because Ed killed it and greatly portrayed this bundle of ethics character that had an anger management problem deep deep deep down.

The plot was wack but the characters and their interactions with one another were the highlight of the film.

Robin Williams still played a significant part in the movie, but I wished he was used better. He was eclectic as Rainbow Randolph, never really felt scary as a villain but maybe that was the point.

Anyways it was an enjoyable experience, 7/10.

NFS Most Wanted Black Edition (PC): Can't Seem to Get any Pink Slips, Am I Just Unlucky?

I've been playing this old game for a bit and I've beaten 4 blacklist members already. I've missed getting the pink slips each time which is 1 out of 3 every time or 1/81 in total.

What's wrong?

Full disclosure, I'm playing dodi-repack of the game.

Besides Robux, What Can I Give to My Little Brother that Plays Roblox?

I just think Robux bad value for its price.

How Does a Country's Debt Affect its Citizens?

Currently my country, Philippines, has tons of debt and it keeps increasing every year.

There'd be stats like, each Filipino has 120k php (around 2.3k usd) of debt. But of course the individual doesn't directly pay for the debt but rather supposedly taken from the taxes we pay.

So how does it actually work?

How Do You Deep Clean a Mattress? What Tools Do I Need?

I am naturally sweaty and only use Fan (no AC) so I sweat through the night and the smell sticks to the mattress (and the pillows).

Is there a way to clean this mattress before I invest in a mattress cover?

Please Give Me Some Alternatives to Genshin Impact and Spider-Man (PS4) on PC/Android

I realized that I like these two games a lot and their common feature is the open world side quest things.

When I play Spider-Man instead of teleporting to the main quest, I swing to the general direction and probably clear most of everything I encounter (Photography, Random Crimes, enemy hideouts, etc.) that I find myself spending most of my time doing the world quests rather than the main story quests.

Same thing with Genshin, I remember my first 10 or so hours of playing it was just looking for chests throughout the map, opening waypoints, looking for those anemoculus, etc.

Bad thing with Genshin though is that it has Gacha so I thought to look for Alternatives.

Yes, I could just continue playing Spider-Man instead but I don't normally have access to a PS4/PS5. (I can play on PC, but I'd rather just finish it on the ps4 instead of paying for it twice).

I guess in summary, please recommend games that has these amazing world quests (BOTW is another one, but I already plan to play that).
