Life Advice / Re: Permanently changing diet without getting sick?

Great to hear that you sound to be good for B12, it kinda bothers me how many years I wasted feeling like shit every day to find out I just needed more vitamins in the morning.

Hey, just wondering but I'm gonna be tracking all my food and exercise on that myfitnesspal.com thing(since I'm curious and it seems neat)... and does anyone want to do like a weight-watchers group thing here (or in another thread)?

Also yeah, living on the coast I agree with the fish thing.  I can only really eat cooked(raw or smoked any time is great though) fish if it's like... pan fried in lemon juice shortly after being caught.  Otherwise it's bleh

While that would be fun, I could see it as incredibly painful if you set yourself up as a king of say Fantasy-England, ruled it through successive generations only to start hitting an irrevocable powerloss as democracies and the rights for people start becoming prevalent.

It's not so much I read it as I was told it by my doctor.  I went and had a blood test, B12 showed up as 'A little low' is what I was told at the time, she sent me for a test where they took a tissue sample I gather and it was extremely low then. This was a few days apart.

Animal revenge and manhunter are a bit different though.  When the man-hunter's show up from an event, psychic weapon or psychic wave they stay manhunters even after they sleep or if they get KO'ed but live and recover.  The animal revenge ones wear off the same as when random animals go berserk from starvation or unhappiness.

or polio, maybe.

No... I am fairly certain Polio doesn't go away from age.

It is something you can get as a child, that will go away as an adult... that generally forces you to stay in bed a lot.

You mentioned feeling lightheaded and dizzy at one point I believe?

Also, make sure you're getting enough B12. It seems you have a mostly vegetarian diet, and there's virtually no B12 in that stuff if it hasn't been fortified with it during processing (read labels carefully to verify). Some of your health issues seem consistent with B12 deficiency, so I'd recommend going to a doctor to check your levels.
I'm a vegetarian (Or whatever the hell they are calling it these days where you will still eat some seafood but zero red meat, chicken, ect) who is struggling with weight issues (It's genetic though, most of the men in my family die of high blood-pressure, obesity and heart faliure by the time they are 35.  I'm still overweight like my entire family going back to grandparents but cutting out all meat has prevented me from having to deal with any of the conditions that come with it.  Tendons, nerves, muscles, skin, eyes, blood pressure, heart ect are all absolutely great... I just weigh 80pds more than someone my age/height should)

Anyhow enough about me, what I was trying to get to is that he's absolutely right about the b12 issue.  For years throughout highschool I felt hungry, tired and dizzy constantly to the point where when I was in university I was passing out walking down the road.  I had bloodtests, checkups and everything else and was told repeatedly that everything was fine (Tell the concussions I got a few times from fainting that) until I read an article about how if you have a really severe B-Vitamin deficiency it can show up as normal on blood tests where your body is routing B vitamins to vital organs through your blood.  I got a tissue test and it came back has having near to zero B12, so I started taking about 5x the daily recommended amount of B vitamins (I think it was like 2 b-complex and then 2 extra b-12 1000mg pills?) for a few months till I started feeling exceptionally better, then cut it back to the daily amounts afterwards.    I now at 22 finally feel completely awake for the first time in my life that I can remember.

So yeah.. TLDR low meat diets should REALLY take B-Vitamin supplements.... and I'm following this thread to lose a heck of a lot more weight than you are dealing with ahahah.

I mean, no need to be rude.  A lot of the wildlife actually do say they are genetically engineered or cloned off of ancient DNA patterns so it's not actually that implausible.

Well, the only answer is that everything is genetically engineered and grown in vats.  There's just a massive cloning facility for wildlife that you never get to see or hear about.

Naw dreadwing is like a -side- boss of sorts.  That said, neon's not being fair to the bosses... me and him got pretty much top quality gear after dreadwing.  If you don't make a point of trying to get the best stuff you can some of the other story bosses can be difficult... with the best gear they are laughably easy so far though (Done 5 of 6 of the keys so far)

Much of Rimworld's animal behavior is explained by psychic events.  That's what causes mad animals and manhunters, and probably causes packs of animals to wander in already tamed.

Well... Not always. I'd put it about 50% of the time.

Most Manhunter packs are simply... well... packs of hunting animals.

And a lot of the time a mad animal is just hungry (bonus points that if they fall asleep they aren't mad anymore)
Don't forget the cataclysmic toxic fallout events, ash rains, ship-part impacts and terraforming mechanoid ships landing on the planet every other week.  Animals can get really weird when they are stressed out that much.

yeaaaaaa.... Neon's saying that cause he watched me spit and curse multiple times when trying to navigate a volcanic planet.  Kept accidentally sprinting from habit, then not being able to jump in the air resulted in me falling straight into lava lakes.

Crash on startup/refuse to open also sounds like a really common anti-virus problem for a large number of games.  Maybe try turning your AV and firewall off temporarily and then try again?

If you have the right angling you can block dreadwings swoop with a shield, and it blocks 100% of the damage in my experience.  Tricky to time but it gives you some headway
