Ear pain pillow

I wonder if I can type this while listening to a Fallout 4 video on Youtube? I don’t think I need to concentrate too hard since this isn’t an academic paper. I’m also wearing my ear phones so I don’t wake Kristi up. However, wearing ear phones can induce ear pain so I don’t want to wear my earphones for too long. I’m also propped up on some pillows and my neck is kind of bend forward and creased, which may cause phone-neck. All those things aside, I think this is a decent little set up to talk about The Original P.W.A.H and how it can treat ear pain and ear pain related conditions.

Hmmm watching Youtube makes me think that getting the perk that allows you to see the enemy’s level and weaknesses is a good idea. Although is it a good idea? Will it make the game feel more ‘gamey’? Do I want to know the level of the characters I’m fighting or will that end up being a pain and breaking the immersion? If I see that they are level 6 and are susceptible to ear damage then I could shoot them in the ear, steal all of their pillows and force them to suffer the misery that many people out there are suffering from right now. Ear pain when sleeping is no joke and to have it replicated in a game is taking fidelity to a new level. Bethesda, I salute you.

Well, now the guy that I’m watching and listening to on my ear phones is saying that he’s glad he got that perk. I guess that’s because he’s at the beginning of the game and needs all the help he can get. He’s also playing on ‘survival’ difficulty which is insanely difficult. I’ve now bumped the level up to ‘Very Hard’ and I’m going to stick with it. If I can’t progress being a certain point I’m not going to cheese the difficulty down, I’ll simply find a less difficult fight elsewhere. This way I get the most out of the game since I do feel good playing on a higher difficulty.

I’m also going to keep an eye out for items for my base. I will certainly find some pillows for the beds because all my settlers must have terribly sore necks and painful ears sleeping on such a hard bed. I don’t think there will be any pillows with a hole in the game however even if ear pain has been so faithfully modelled.

Speaking of The original P.W.A.H, I haven’t heard from Mumsintheknow Macclesfield yet. We’re looking for more local ladies to help make our pillows, http://www.thepillowwithahole.co.uk/page/howitsmade As seen in the link I just posted. I paid for the advert, but I have yet to get any interested people. I will check to see if the website owner has done any social media shout-outs because that is when people tend to see the advert for the pillows. I’ll do that now actually, or rather I will email her to find out.
