Iām not a fan of anything medical-like either. I donāt cringe or feel stressed out about it, but I donāt enjoy any of it.
I am curious about it mind you: when I got the doNExT in, I wanted my installer to cut my arm with the opening facing me, so I could see how it looks on the inside. But it wasnāt practical, sadly. So I never did get to see 
Send me a pm and Iāll chat with you some
I did the same
Was worried for anything and then last minute someone made a comment about it hurting a lot and that got me freakingā¦ wasnāt a big deal
Iāve heard some stories about a NorthStar swap on the back of the hand. Supposedly you could see the āpatientāsā bones! Metal as hell!
Yeah, Iāll be honest, it hurts, youāre getting stabbed with a decently large needle! But, itās totally manageable. The worst part is the anticipation, because, especially with x-series, theyāre over quickly. If youāre getting worried, CVS/Walgreens sell otc numbing cream, not a recommendation, just a fact! 
(just DONāT get one with menthol or capsaicin!!!)
NoUsersLefft already has a xNT in. If he asks Amal to turn the mind control knob on all the way up, he should be comfortably numb on d-day. Just make sure you wear a bib to catch the drool.
I didnāt even think of that 
@amal turn it to max Friday at 5 Central time. Wait like 30 mins and set it back to default.
Turn it back down before that: youāll have several implants after itās done, remember. Might be a bit much for the gray goo between your ears
Ah no worries, theyāll just think itās MRSA again
So for what itās worthā¦ having done what your worried about recentlyā¦ and I had cold feet about recovery last second
Iād do it again when it come times to add more chips to my left hand, Iāll add however many at the same time
Which I currently want some kind of mifare option I think, so probably a xm1
The xg3 also seems fun for non sensing applications
Oh yeah, I know that one - used to play it a lot as a kid, and really loved it (okay, sat in front of my old 486 swearing quite a lot)ā¦ funny enough, no probs with motion sickness. Out of nostalgia, I watched some videos of that very game not so long ago, and even got sick by just watching^^ Guess that whole motion-sickness-stuff went worse over the years, but I think I try to start getting accustomed to it, maybe it works.
What on earth makes you think that? 
Okay, to be serious, even considering the stuff we all do here (some more, some less extreme) might require to have something āwired not quite rightā in the eyes of most other people 
But yeah, poking at bruises or using the tongue to further irritate that one little slightly inflammated spot in the mouth - totally normal here^^ Itās just a test - if it doesnāt hurt more than last time I tried (usually 5 minutes agoā¦), itās not getting worse! Perfect home-made medical advice! 
Ugh - thatād be too much for me, I thinkā¦ The procedure of getting a skin-lift is strange, but not exactly unpleasant, but seeing my own body from the insideā¦ mmmh, rather not.
Mine was doom. Descent was amazing though. We ran a bnc coax network cable running a netbios lan a few houses down to my uncleās placeā¦ burried it in the neighbors grass at nightā¦ my aunt wanted to win so bad but she was terrible at itā¦ I once flared her to deathā¦ the flare would only do 1 point of damage so I have to hit her 100 times before she could kill meā¦ she never landed a single shot. Quit the game. Never played again. Normally Iād be sad I crushed a fledgling gamer so hard they quit gaming all together, but honestly she left my uncle a few years later with some guy from her work so whatever.
That is awesome
Covert and tactical even before playing the game
I learned earlyā¦ phone phreakingā¦ downloading the anarchists cookbook from a japanese bbs on my own line from the comfort of my bedroom after making crazy long distance calls on an my neighbors lines so I could call the phone company and complain that we never made that call to Japan and they say yeah itās on we have a problem in the neighborhood with illegitimate calls being made and taking it off the billā¦ stuff like thatā¦ I never did truly bad thingsā¦ just a lot of technical mischief.
Defrauding the phone company definitely isnāt a bad thing. Itās just payback.
I have a collection of boxes of different colors in my box of old shit too. We didnāt need no computers to have fun back then - although they helped
Oh they got me back real good laterā¦ started a dial up isp in 1996ā¦ they sabotaged us little idiots from the start with T1 connects we didnāt need and assurances the phone company wasnāt going into the internet isp businessā¦ then crushed us with broadband like literally a year later while we were still under contract for an ascend router we didnāt need and T1 lines we couldnāt fill.
You were bad!
There might, hypothetically, be a glitcher / unlooper / loader in a box around here somewhereā¦
I think this plan is sound. The xG3 wonāt be an issue for the reader sitting between the xNT and Spark. @turbo2ltr put an xG3 in a similar locationā¦ he might have some insights?
Hmm, seems Iām missing out on this thread.
Did a fair bit of phreaking in the late 80s/early 90s. Not sure what ever happened to my red box. We had a COCOT at our high schoolā¦ weād make long distance calls from there using various methods. Once day we found a legit MaBell payphone dumped in the woods. The money box had been ripped out, but we werenāt interested in that part. We went back with black garbage bags and a skate board, put it in the bag and on the board and pushed it back to the house to take apart the electronics.
I once hacked a storeās VM systemā¦ they left the password the default.
Remember diverters? Used those a lot too. Anyone on DDial?
First 3D game I think was something on the TRS-80. Donāt recall though. PC I think it was Wolfenstein. I remember being amazed at the graphics. lol
I would not recommend the location for sensing. Great for holding small screws though. I had migration problems with my install. Took several months before it finally settled down and it settled one metacarpal over. (Installed between 4th and 5th, now sitting nearly on the 3rd.) It sits right next to the tendon for the middle finger. My hands are pretty lean. There isnāt much skin thickness which may be partially why it took a while to settle downā¦ Itās definitely closer to the surface than my other ones.
Well yeah, but those arenāt true 3D. They donāt count 
Otherwise, the maze-like game on my ZX-81 would be my first 3D game too.
Fake 3D games didnāt make me puke at least.
Where would you recommend for sensing other than fingertips?
