I see you

TLDR; They're both well-within their rights to be acting like this and I don't think either of them are behaving out of character when considering what all has happened.

I’m not happy with how Steve is behaving regarding the love triangle, but I’m also seeing a lot of people in disbelief at why he’s treating Dustin the way he is, and I think it actually makes a lot of sense in context.

Steve and others have mentioned it more than once in these four episodes that Dustin has been behaving like this—snarky(-er), reclusive, standoffish, combative—for a while. Not only that, but he won’t listen to Steve or the rest of the party when they beg him to stop provoking the jocks. Personally, I think Dustin can do whatever he wants because he’s grieving, but with the amount of times people have already brought up his attitude change, it sounds like it’s been going on for some time.

I love Alex he's one of the best GMs I've ever seen and he gave us heart-wrenching drama and beautiful character moments but he really did mess up the ending.

There's the whole making magic disappear thing which we all (rightfully) complained about but even before that, ever since the party left Svalbard I was feeling like the story became really mcguffin centric. Like it was all about going to place to get thing and the main events came from the fights and mechanics. Even 207 which was in my opinion the podcast's last hurra was only exciting because characters were going to die in a fight. The only real roleplay we got was between Zolf and Hamid and that was mainly them continuenly butting heads which was fine at first but became really tiresome after a while for me, especially when it became clear this relationship wasn't going to progress in any way.

Sure the battle at the end was exciting, but again that was all just mechanics, there was nothing character-wise to hold on to. So for me the end was just kind of anti-climactic and not really satisfying. The epilogues were nice but I just wasn't feeling it as much by that point.

TMA's ending had its detractors of course, but I feel like it ended up nailing the character arcs we've seen develop over series 5 and it was unexpected and tragic while still allowing us to imagine a possibility in which things worked out.

Zolf got a new tattoo lol

STOP

Stop.

Take that after a meal. Take it with a big glass of water. Don't take it on an empty stomach EVER. Don't take it with alcohol. You will destroy your stomach. You will end up with an ulcer. You will vomit blood. I'm not exaggerating.

Yes, you. Yes, it will happen to cute little you. With your cute little bottle of miracles. Ibuprofen really does that to your body.

Acetaminophen, not a NSAID, even more so that NSAIDS, should not be taken when drinking. No seriously, it causes liver and stomach damage (and it's particularly hard on the liver to start with).

That's because it only is toxic when you take more than your liver can metabolise, as it's the metabolic product that's actually toxic, and that gets metabolised again so quickly as long as your liver is at least partly functional, there's no damage at all. If you already have liver problems, ask your gp, they can tell you whether it's severe enough for it to be toxic.

Alcohol does not help, though, that's true.

Acetaminophen does not cause stomach damage. It just doesn't. In fact, if you want it to take effect sooner you actually should take it on an empty stomach.

Anything that you take orally may upset your stomach. That's not the same as stomach damage though. But people with sensitive stomachs should take most medicine with or after food.

Painkiller overuse is a serious problem, but painkiller misinformation also leads to false treatment or even no treatment at all, which can cause other problems (like chronic pain).
