Yep, should be no issue with opioid checks if it’s just a higher dose of normal OTC painkillers. Acetaminophen + oxycodone (Percocet) would likely trigger the check, but it’d be the oxycodone part they’re tracking.
Last time I had oral surgery though, they prescribed oxycodone, so might just be worth double checking in case the prescription was for more than just extra strength Tylenol.
And on the left of the box with the word BIRTHDAY, the top part of the capital T is randomly broken.
First thing I’d do is call the pharmacy again, explain the situation, and ask if they can contact the doctor directly. This is not likely to work, but sometimes they have communication channels beyond the main office line. Pharmacies can sometimes override a prescription and offer enough of a med to get through the weekend, but not likely if this is a one-time prescription and not something you take regularly.
The only other approach is to try to get a prescription from elsewhere, like a telehealth service or an urgent care clinic, but that will require a consult which might come with a copay depending on your insurance (assuming they cover any part of it at all). You might be able to argue with your insurance that this was not your fault and they should cover it due to the circumstances, but they’ll likely tell you that you should have gone somewhere in network anyways.
And this is all on top of the fact that you need pain medication, which could be interpreted as doctor shopping if you’re not careful. If the original script was placed but not signed off and it shows up in an opioid control database (likely won’t if it’s just extra strength tylenol, but would if it’s percocets), there’s a good chance any other prescriber will say no and tell you that you have to follow up with that office when they reopen.
If you have no meds and the pain is unbearable, then you go to the ER. Depending on insurance, prepare for a high cost. Don’t take an ambulance if you can help it.
Yes the USA is fucked.
Other than the plagiarism, butchering of a classic IP, and fad genre bandwagoning?
It’s a grindy game in a genre that otherwise caters to F2P but comes with an extra $40 price tag. It’s also just plain bland and soulless, which really represents how far Bungie has fallen as a developer. The only thing they can really do is give bad consulting advice to other Sony studios on how to make live service games, which has not worked out yet for even one of them. And Destiny died for this game to happen.
Not to mention that it makes Sony money. Regardless of how defeatist it is or how little the general public cares, they remain on my personal “do not buy” list.
True, forgot that abomination got a PC release too.
They also put out Ghost of Yotei and Marathon (yikes).
Marvel Tokon too if you count console exclusives that are also on PC.
Edit: Whoops, I forgot Ghost of Yotei was late last year. Unless you’re counting fiscal year starting in October I guess.
You know things have gotten bad when even the vaults from Fallout seem more egalitarian…
Ugh, thank you, my reading comprehension is not strong today.
Does have me wondering what the Austrian legal system is like (where Denuvo is headquartered). Seems hard to set a court decision when the accused hasn’t even been identified. Can they even prove it’s a single person?
They’re right, though.
Enshittification makes companies money by being actively consumer hostile. Companies know they will lose customers by making unpopular decisions. But these days, they all know how to keep making more money in spite of/because of it.
Sony knows people hate this move. But the problem is that it saves them way more money than they’d ever lose in sales. They get to have a more captive audience with lending/reselling no longer a thing, no longer have to pay for materials and distribution for discs, no longer need to include a disc drive in the cost of the console, etc.
And they know the gambit will pay off, because what are people going to do otherwise? Pay the cost of a PS5 just for RAM?
WoW Forever is…interesting. Definitely not for me, but curious to see where it goes.
It seems like a tacit acknowledgement that the modern game has been a series of missteps, so they’re going back to basics and starting over. Just a big redo with different decisions and lessons learned.
I just can’t help but look back on the “You think you do, but you don’t” statement about classic WoW, and now they’re basically putting their entire future into it.
Honestly I am surprised they didn’t do this years ago. It makes sense to let the studio that made the best Fallout game continue making Fallout games while the other studio works on the long-neglected Elder Scrolls 6. Otherwise we’d just be looking at decade-long droughts between Elder Scrolls and Fallout games at the pace BGS develops.
I’m guessing that this was the result of editing text on a different post using the inspect element tool in a browser, though. Notice how the timestamp says “in 7 seconds” as opposed to “7 seconds ago” as if it was a screenshot of a post that had yet to be submitted.
