  • Note: my experience is limited to the US medical system, so things may be different where you are. However, I definitely agree with getting wrist braces first while waiting for your appointment. Schedule an appointment with a primary care provider who can evaluate you and recommend either medications or refer you to a specialist. Often times carpal tunnel can be managed with over the counter medications, wrist braces, and avoiding the repetitive movements that exacerbate it (usually typing in today’s world). If not, then the specialist of choice is often an orthopedic surgeon that specializes in wrist and hand surgery, though there are also plastic surgeons that specialize in hand surgery as well.

  • Not knocking the technology at all, it really can be life-changing for people with Parkinson’s disease. But it’s been around for a while, it was approved in the US by the FDA in the late 90s. A chip is not implanted, but rather electrodes in the brain that connect to the controller elsewhere.

  • Depends on how much or little you want to use glitches. Personally, I don’t care since it’s a single player game.

    There are glitches to transfer durability from one weapon or bow to another. Get a high durability item like the biggoron’s sword or lightscale trident (60 and 70 durability, respectively), and you can transfer that durability to any other weapon to make it last much longer. Can even repair durability in the same way on the fly if you keep a pristine version in your inventory. Same thing works for bow to bow durability transfer, so I have several copies of a 5 shot savage lynel bow. Let me know if you want to know more.
