Advanced Training

Okay, good news in Mass Effect 2: Legendary Edition, the "Advanced Training" glitch seemed to fix itself. Last night I completed Mordin and Grunt's loyalty missions on Tuchanka, and afterwards the option appeared in the Research terminal on the Normandy.

It's possible that this wasn't a glitch at all per se, and the game was waiting for Mordin's loyalty mission specifically because he's the Scientist who runs the research laboratory.

Or maybe it was a glitch, and after missing the flag on Miranda's mission it registered the flag on one of their missions.

Either way, I was able to gain a new bonus power like normal. So I'll call this a win.

I also breezed through these missions much more easily than I normally do. Maybe it's because I'm only playing on Hardcore instead of Insanity (I wanted a relaxed playthrough for my first time) but I didn't get stuck anywhere. I actually stopped and checked to make sure I hadn't accidentally lowered the play difficulty.

I got through Tuchanka so quickly I even had time afterwards to go complete Tali's loyalty mission as well.

You want to know where I did have problems a few days ago? Haestrom. I just could not get past the final approach to Tali's location, and I died over and over. Which is odd, because normally that's an easy level for me. But it went on for so long that I actually stopped for the night and went to bed. I had to pick it up the next day.

My Shepard is now nearly at max capability. With Tali's Energy Drain as my bonus power I've got advantages against Shields, Barriers, and Armor, and I've leveled up enough for very fast cooldowns on everything.

I hope to finish the game before next week.

What are the key qualities and skills needed for a successful career in medical coding?

What are needed for Medical Coding ?

To correctly assign codes for different medical procedures and diagnoses, medical coders must have a high attention to detail. Precision is essential in maintaining the accuracy of medical data and billing processes.

Analytical Skills: The ability to evaluate medical records and extract valuable information for coding is required. Coders must assess complex medical documentation and assign codes based on recommendations.

Knowledge of Anatomy and Medical Terminology : Understanding medical records requires knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and medical terminology. This expertise enables coders to assign codes appropriately and ensures proper communication with healthcare practitioners.

Understanding of Coding Systems : Medical coders must be familiar with coding systems such as the ICD (International Classification of Diseases) and CPT (Current Procedural Terminology). It is also critical to stay current with changes in coding systems.

Ethical Standards : Medical coders handle confidential patient information and assist with invoicing and reimbursement. Maintaining ethical norms, especially patient confidentiality and truthfully reflecting medical services, is critical.

Time Management : Medical coders frequently work under time constraints. Time management is essential for examining medical records, assigning codes, and satisfying reporting requirements on time.

Communication Skills : Clarifying paperwork differences with healthcare providers requires effective communication. To ensure appropriate code assignment, coders may need to contact with physicians and other healthcare experts.

one of my not-so-favorite things about rrverse fanfics is how often percy is described as clueless. like, i know it's all in good fun and for comedic value, but percy is incredibly perceptive. for the first twelve years of his life, he was raised in an abusive household and was consistently surrounded by people who would belittle him for shit he couldn't control. so being perceptive was likely a defense mechanism. then he was immediately thrust into a world with threats of godly proportions and monsters with the intent to kill. so it quickly became a survival tactic. the only time percy has ever been clueless was about people being romantically interested in him, which could definitely be chalked up to low self-esteem.

NWR No.1 and SLYM No.11513 at a dual gauge interchange just outside of the city center.

SLYM No.11513 is an Advanced Steam Locomotive native to Gymnome--a coal-burning steam engine operating at high pressure, with technological improvements to allow it to rival the efficiency and ease of use of a diesel locomotive, such as electronic controls, compound expansion of steam, a gas producer combustion system firebox, dual exhaust, and automatic firing and oiling. 11513 was built some time in the 2340s, and survives to 2381 as a museum piece.

NWR No.1 is a much older locomotive and from another planet altogether, built 1915 for the LBSC railway as a one-off prototype for a six-coupled shunter to replace the aging Terriers and to supplement the much larger E2-tanks. NWR No.1 made it to the North Western Railway not long after it was built, having been allocated there for the war effort. It is not clear how a locomotive built 465 years in the past on planet Earth made it intact to Gymnome, nor how its gauge perfectly matched Goo'iw Broad Gauge, at least not without invoking some kind of universe-spanning magic railroad, or perhaps the notion that this is all a simulation being run in some kind of virtual reality in some alien starship.

(no this isn't canon.)

Artist's notes:

Earlier today I doodled this in my sketchbook.

And when I got home i decided, hey, I have my Thomas 3D model, and I have the game model of the Advanced Steam Tank Engine... why not actually stage them together and draw them to-scale. The size difference is greater than I expected--partly I think this is because the Thomas gauge-1 prop was not designed with scale in mind, so it's bigger than British Railways loading gauge. Granted, they are at different gauges (standard gauge versus roughly meter-ish gauge), but the loading gauge on the advanced steam engine is very wide.

My first attempt at the drawing was from a very different angle:

But I quickly realized that you can't actually see the Advanced Steam Engine's wheels, and that's a major design aspect.

So i chose a different angle.

I constructed the dual gauge track before anything else.

And before long (the better part of 2 hours) I had the line art finished.

The Advanced Steam Engine ended up being a hybrid between the original illustration I did of it months ago, and the game model--with most of the geometry accurate to the game model, but with the subtler detailing of the illustrated version.

Thomas was meant to be a sort of hybrid of the Gauge 1 Prop from the TV series and a realistic loco. I prioritized the geometry and simplicity of the gauge 1 prop in most respects, but added details below the running board, in particular brake rigging, sanding gear, and these blade-like protrusions of the frames which i'm pretty sure are some kind of debris deflector, a british version of a cowcatcher. There's also snifters on the cylinder saddle, and the whistle is made of two different lengths to justify Thomas' multi-tone whistle.

The original background was going to be this marshland with (electricity-generating) windmills in the background, a callback to that first shot in the Thomas & Friends opening credits, but I hated how it felt like the middle of nowhere, so I introduced the retaining wall and an alien city scene.

British steam engines are generally given very shiny liveries which reflect the environment in interesting ways, so I made sure to do that justice, using a GWR 14xx autotank as reference.

By contrast, the Advanced Steam Tank Engine is kept in a more workwormlike condition, with a somewhat faded matte paint work and a fair amount of grime.

The original illustration of the advanced steam engine, for comparison.

Finally, a version with faces.

post i made last night actually got me Thinking about what on earth i'm gonna do with the nationals so i did some doodles to get my ideas out. the concept is that they all still represent their countries but i completely removed the flags from their designs and just based them on real trains. these are subject to change but the base idea is there

[the-physicality]

thinking this labor day about all the athletes in women's sports who didn't have a stable league, who were only making decent money from a spot on their national team, who had to fight to get even a fraction of what they deserve. who spent their prime without a club league or the infrastructure to propel the sport. who came of age after title 9 in the usa [forcing schools to fund women/girls’ sports], the ones who fought for cbas and are only seeing big change at the end of their careers or after their careers concluded. who didn't have the media attention before, but are now showing just how much they can sell out stadiums and arenas. the players who played year round because overseas teams paid athletes what they were worth. athletes who endured and reported harassment but the league never took appropriate action. athletes who never had the media attention or ability to monetize their talent but who had careers that were just as impressive as the stars of today. who did it without the help of the science, technology, and medicine we have today. who set records with less support and fewer games in a season, which will be broken by kids who have had personal trainers since high school. athletes who played great games that are no long available to view, their talent no longer archived and accessible for young or new fans. athletes who still don't have a league or are just getting one in 2024. athletes who took it upon themselves to create change for which they will never reap the full rewards.

Finally ready to start showing off the project we've been working on for a few weeks.

TRAIN PUZZLE (dot exe) (title pending)

me and @msasterisk are working on a switching puzzle game set on slimegirl astronaut Eaurp Guz's homeworld. You operate an Advanced Steam switcher to move cars around. The prototype implements a single level, a model railroad Inglenook layout, but there will be other original levels as well.

MsAsterisk has done all of the programming and game engine work, I've done the game design and art assets.

more screenshots and development photos below the cut:

Until the last couple of days, the game has used plain colored boxes for its cars. The first playable version, shown here, was just a pixel art train toy, with no actual game mechanics, but with an external list randomizer you could still run the inglenook game.

The physics was apparently a monumental undertaking to get working, but now it works great!

i don't remember what this was about. Truncated the vertices to the unit cube or something.

@thefallencomet's playtesting of the first prototype revealed a severe bug with couplers where switching cars coupled at a distance between three tracks at once would completely break physics. MsAsterisk fixed it by simply breaking couplers when they're too far apart.

car concept art

u.i. concept art. The tracks are bonafide pixel art here, but they've since been replaced with all 3D assets. The loco here is a pixelated render done in blender of the advanced steam tank engine model that i made about a month ago.

control stand model, WIP. We're not sure if we're going to go for this kind of detailed control stand. Why does a steam engine use a control stand that would look more at home on an EMD diesel? It's the magic of Advanced Steam Technology! The actual engine is controlled with actuators and microcontrollers, they're merely operated from the safety of the control cabin. The gauges are for brake cylinder, boiler pressure, steam chest, and speedometer--but no promises about whether these will be functional.

and finally, portraits of the engine crew

More to come as the game continues development.
