I have played all the far cry series games except 6 because the reviews are saying how horrible the game is and I don't know what to think, so I am deciding to try it. Any advices I should carry?

I feel like it's repetitive and sort of woke, I need advices, is there something I should avoid? something I should do? or should I just play it just like any other FC game? A few of the criticisms I’ve seen repeatedly are that the game becomes very repetitive, with missions, outposts, checkpoints, and side activities starting to feel like the same thing over and over again. Some players also say the game is very long for no reason and has unnecessary activities and that the repetitive gameplay becomes much more noticeable toward the later parts of the story, I’ve also heard complaints about the enemy AI and difficulty. Some reviews describe the enemies as too easy or predictable.

TL:DR: for someone who has played every other Far Cry game, what advice would you give me before starting Far Cry 6? what should I expect.

Meniere's is very uncommon, but the exact number of people living with it is still difficult to determine. Published estimates vary widely, with one widely cited U.S. estimate putting the prevalence at around 190 cases per 100,000 people, roughly 0.2%.

That might sound like a small number.

But behind every one of those numbers is a person dealing with hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo, ear pressure, uncertainty, anxiety, and the impact this disease can have on everyday life.

And here's the problem:

Too many people still don't know what Meniere's disease is!!!!

We can't expect the general public to understand something they've barely heard of. We can't expect more research, better treatments, and better support if we remain invisible!! That's why I think all of us have a role in raising awareness.

Talk about it.
Share your story.
Educate your friends and family.
Correct misconceptions.
Share reliable information.
Support someone who's struggling.

You don't have to be a doctor, researcher, or activist to make a difference.

Even one conversation can make someone realize that the person struggling with their balance, hearing, or tinnitus isn't exaggerating, they're dealing with a real condition. Meniere's may affect a relatively small percentage of people, but that doesn't mean we should stay quiet.

The more of us who speak up, the harder we are to ignore.

We have to work together on this to spread the awareness about Meniere's

Currently we have a big support group on discord for people with Meniere's. We talk about symptoms, treatments, mental health, research, and everyday life with Meniere's. If you'd like to connect with others who understand, you're welcome to join us and share your stories and experience.

August 3rd 2026.

Hello everyone, this is a personal observation, since barometric pressure and Meniere's is a debated

I've had Meniere's for about 1.5 years now, and I want to share something I've been tracking because I keep seeing similar stories pop up here.

Last August in 2025, my tinnitus dropped by about 90%. It stayed that way for a while, then came back in February. Now it's August again, and it's gone once more.

At first I thought it was a fluke, but scrolling through this sub over the past few days I've seen at least 3-4 other posts from people saying their symptoms have improved or disappeared recently too. That made me start wondering if there's a seasonal or barometric pressure connection like maybe more stable high pressure summer weather (at least where a lot of us live) is easier on the inner ear than the volatile pressure swings we get in winter/spring.

I know Meniere's is famously unpredictable and everyone's triggers are different (salt, stress, sleep, hormones, etc.), so I'm not saying this is the answer. But the timing lining up two years in a row for me, and seeing others post similar things around the same time, feels like more than coincidence.

Curious to hear from others:

• Has anyone else noticed their symptoms (tinnitus, vertigo, fullness) get better or worse with the seasons?
• Does your location's weather pattern seem to line up with flare-ups?
• Has anyone tracked this more formally, like with a symptom diary against local pressure data?

Anyway, if you guys need a support group with people with Meniere's you are more than welcome to join us on discord: https://discord.gg/xhzQJnwctK

Take care!

One of the hardest parts of living with Meniere's isn't always the symptoms, it's feeling like no one around you truly understands what you're going through. When you tell people I suffer from tinnitus it's from Meniere's they go like "Oh yeah I had a strong tinnitus too! the flu was crazy!" And it really bothers me.

That's why I'm so grateful to be part of a support group on Discord app, a community filled with people who do. I am trying to spread an awareness and get as many people who can help as possible. Whether you're having a rough day, looking for advice, following the latest research, or just want to talk with people who genuinely understand, you don't need to explain to people what Meniere's is because we all know it and we all experienced the horrible attacks that happens, there's always someone there to listen.

If you've been feeling alone with this disease, you're more than welcome to join us.

For me.. zero...

Before finding online communities, I had never spoken to another person living with Meniere's . None of my friends, family, or coworkers truly understood what tinnitus, hearing loss, ear fullness, or vertigo felt like.

It's strange how a disease that affects so many people can still make you feel so alone.

That's one of the biggest reasons I formed a discord community. It's a place where you don't have to explain what Meniere's is. Everyone already gets it.

So I'm curious...

How many people with have you met in real life?

Here is the open invite for our discord Meniere's support group: https://discord.gg/QGRyDQxHCt

I'm curious if anyone has noticed their symptoms are worse during a particular season.

For me, my flare-ups actually seem to calm down during the summer, and I tend to feel better overall. I'm wondering if it's just a coincidence or if anyone else has experienced something similar.

have you never noticed a seasonal pattern?

I'd love to hear everyone's experiences.

Are we getting closer to a breakthrough for Meniere's disease?

For many of us living with Meniere's, one question always comes up:

"Will there ever be a treatment that targets the disease itself?"

Recently, there has been growing interest around SPI-1005 (ebselen), a drug being studied for inner ear conditions, including Meniere's Disease. The goal is to explore whether protecting the inner ear could help improve symptoms and outcomes for patients, which gives many of us a reason to feel hopeful. That being said, it is important to remember: SPI-1005 is still being tested. It is not a confirmed cure yet, and more research is needed. But after years of limited options, seeing new treatments being investigated specifically for Meniere's feels like an important step forward. While we wait for the future of treatment, we can support each other through the present.

Hello, I’d love to hear some advice from people who have experience working as cabin crew. If you could go back to when you first started, what advice would you give yourself?

What were the hardest parts of the job that you didn’t expect, and what are some of the most enjoyable or rewarding things about being a cabin crew member?

Did it start in one ear or both at the same time?

If it started in one ear, how long did it take before your other ear developed tinnitus or other symptoms?

I'd love to hear your experiences.

Would love to hear your story on our Meniere's online discord support group.

When I was diagnosed with Meniere's I felt like im dying slowly, it felt horrible and I couldn't take it no more. Life was dull and I left my job and stayed bed for more than 6 months, no one understand us. no one ever will do unless they feel what we go through.

After going to different ENTs and Doctors and other bullshiters who take money from you while not giving you the right cure, I found a great ENT and I slowly started to recover & understand what MD is. I never used reddit before and decided look up a local Meniere's support group but I couldn't find any.

When I first thought about creating a Discord community for people with Meniere's, I honestly didn't know if anyone would join. I thought maybe a few people would find it useful. From the first day I announced the creation of it more than 10 people joined and what surprised me was how many people were looking for the exact same thing:

A place where they didn't have to explain themselves.

A place where they could say:
"My tinnitus is awful today."

or

"I'm scared about my hearing."

or

"I had another vertigo attack."

And instead of having to explain what Meniere's is, someone could simply reply:

"I understand." Because we all have know what it is.

That was the moment I realized how many people are quietly dealing with this disease alone.

Meniere's is horrible. Friends and family can care about you deeply, but unless they've experienced it, they don't always understand the fear, frustration, and uncertainty that comes with it.

The goal of this community was never to replace doctors or provide medical advice.

It was simply to create a place where people with Ménière's could:

• share their experiences
• talk about treatments and research
• support each other during difficult days
• celebrate the small victories
• and meet people who truly understand

Seeing people who joined as strangers become supportive of each other has honestly been one of the most rewarding parts. We became closer day by day- we even chatted about the study the talks about the cure of tinnitus.

Anyway, If you're dealing with Ménière's and you've ever felt alone, you're welcome to join us on discord: https://discord.gg/m9ypfrJePX

One thing I've noticed is that almost every week, someone new arrives here scared, overwhelmed, and wondering if life will ever feel normal again.

I remember that feeling and many of us do. That's one of the reasons I'm passionate about being part of a Meniere's discord support group, not because we have all the answers but because nobody should have to face this disease feeling completely alone.

Some days we talk about treatments and medications. Some days we discuss the latest research and updates on the cure. Some days we celebrate small victories. And some days we simply listen, because that's exactly what someone needs.

Living with Meniere's is hard enough. You shouldn't have to do it by yourself.

I am currently planning to buy a ps5 because GTA6 is coming soon in few months so I was wondering if LG UltraGear G6 27G610A-B 27-inch 200Hz QHD 2K 1ms Gaming Monitor good for a ps5? I want something budget friendly, I looked for Oleds but they aren't available where I live, would appreciate some insights and suggestions.

I'll go first.

Meniere's is such a strange disease that I think everyone here would describe it differently. What would your five words be?

And if you'd like to meet others who understand exactly what those five words mean?

This month is a special month known for raising awareness around men’s mental health and honestly, I think it matters a lot for people living with conditions like Meniere's.

A lot of us talk about the vertigo, tinnitus, hearing loss, fullness, anxiety, bad days, medications… but not always the mental side of it.

The frustration.
The fear of progression.
The sadness of feeling like life changed unexpectedly.
Trying to stay strong while quietly struggling.

And if you’re a guy, sometimes it feels like you’re expected to just “deal with it” and move on. So if nobody told you this lately: it’s okay to admit this condition is hard sometimes. You’re not weak for struggling. You’re a human being.

I would like to take a moment to say thank you to all the brothers, fathers, and men who are quietly dealing with their own health struggles while still trying to show up, provide, and hold things together for their families. A lot of the time, that struggle goes unseen.

And honestly, one thing that helped me most was talking to people who actually understood what living with Meniere's feels like day to day.

If anyone ever needs support, I’m part of a fairly large and active Meniere's support Discord community. It's an open invite if you ever wanted to talk to someone and share the pain with us. We all talk to each other and support each other on hard & easy days.

Stay safe and sound.

I'm 100% sure this will either will get removed or someone will get upset but ill say it anyway.

I genuinely do not understand the community sometimes

For months, people have been spreading random “GTA 6 leaks” from Discord, YouTubers chasing clicks, anonymous insiders, fake countdowns, and “trust me bro” sources. Every time someone says “maybe don’t believe this unless Rockstar actually says something,” they get called negative, accused of ruining the "fun" orr straight up insulted instead of anyone making an actual argument.

Then what happens?

The rumor turns out to be fake. Nothing happens. No trailer drops. No announcement. And suddenly people are flooding Rockstar posts angry at them like Rockstar promised something and they didn't. Rockstar never promised Trailer 3 today. Nobody official announced anything. People get hyped themselves up over rumors and acted like speculation was fact.

Speculation is fine, presenting fan theories and fake insider claims as guaranteed events is the problem. What's even crazier is seeing people panic every time a made up fake date comes and goes and some people are even acting like the sky is falling because marketing hasn't started yet!!!! when Take2 literally said marketing would ramp up in the summer window. Why are people acting shocked that a random fan theory didn't come true?

Also, can we stop rewarding YouTubers who make 15-minute videos over every fake leak just for clicks? "MrTrashFTW" They throw enough rumors at the wall that eventually one tiny detail overlaps with reality and suddenly they’re “credible.”

Also, can we be realistic for a second?? about how secretive Rockstar is? Rockstar is notorious for strict NDAs and keeping things tightly controlled. Could a real leak happen? Sure. No company is leak proof. But people are way too quick to believe random accounts claiming they know exact trailer dates, exact marketing plans, and exact announcement schedules with zero proof. Take the whole Best Buy email situation as an example. Even if the email itself was real, people instantly jumped to “Trailer 3 confirmed” and “preorders are definitely happening now” when Rockstar never said any of that. A vague rumor became “confirmed information” because enough people repeated it

I was bashed once by discord mods just for correcting someone and saying their “source” wasn’t reliable. The mod banned me and insulted me instead of using a valid comeback argument. They they accuse me of ruining their "fun" because I say not to believe false leaks for it. That kind of reaction says a lot about how people treat information in these hype spaces

If you want to speculate, cool. But stop harassing Rockstar over promises they never made, and maybe start holding fake insiders accountable when their predictions fail for the 100th time. and instead of insulting people who do you a favor telling you those fake leaks are fake thank them instead of bashing them.

Your life isn't over yet. If you were recently diagnosed with Meniere's,

I know how confusing and scary this can feel in the beginning. You’ll probably spend hours searching symptoms, wondering if things will get worse, and reading stories that scare the hell out of you. And honestly some days will be hard. But I want to tell you something I wish someone told me earlier: you will learn. You’ll learn your triggers. You’ll learn what helps. And over time, this thing that feels terrifying right now becomes something you understand better. I had it rough but now when I get hit by loud tinnitus I just normalized it and know that it's part of the disease and keep it cool and chillax.

Most importantly: don’t go through it alone.

I’m part of a Meniere's support group on Discord where people talk openly about symptoms, treatments, we ask and answer questions, and just life with this condition.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been dealing with it for years, you’re welcome here on discord: https://discord.gg/xhzQJnwctK

I’m honestly just tired of this condition so I will talk about it.

Meniere's Disease Awareness is usually mentioned in February 7th, and with Mental Health Awareness Month in May, it made me reflect on something I don’t really say out loud.

I’m exhausted by this condition.

Not just physically but also mentally and emotionally too. I am writing this with a tear in my eye I can't stand this. No matter how good you can be you will still be fucking depressed because of it. I am losing my relationship with my family and my parents. They never understand how it feels like and I don't get along with people already and people get on my nerves too quickly. I am so sick of it. There are moments where I feel genuinely sad about it. Sad about how unpredictable it is. Sad about how it can take a normal day and completely ruin it without warning. Sad about how something so invisible can still affect so much of your life. I just saw a video of a close friend of mine who is happy and celebrating their graduation at a party from a university and I just wish I was a quarter as happy as they are.

And then there are moments where it just makes me angry. Not at anything specific just at the disease itself. At how random it is. At how you can do everything right and still not have control over it. I followed all the right diets and took all my necessary pills and still that loud monster in my ear.

I am very stressed and I always try to talk to others and make it sound positive regardless of the pain that I am going through because I dont wanna be a negative Nancy to the people I love because im afraid I don't wanna lose them I already feel like im losing my parents because of it which is probably the hardest part for me. Because it builds up over time, especially when there’s no clear “fix” in sight.

Even on better days, there is this thing in your head that will tell you it will come haunt you any time. And that never fully goes away.

If anyone here ever feels like they need a place to talk with people who actually understand both the physical and mental side of Meniere's, I’m part of a small peer support Discord group. It’s just people sharing experiences and supporting each other through it.

You’re welcome to join if it helps:
