ThatWeirdGuy1001My knee gave out at work today and all I could think of was this
🇰 🌀 🇱 🇦 🇳 🇦 🇰 🇮 🏆This is how I know Solid Snake is the ultimate soldier. His knees don’t crack when he crouches, even though he’s like 80.
Especially with how many times he’s jumped from pretty high up. If I jumped 6ft down my knees would explode.
IninewCrowJust thinking of doing that made my knees swell
Simply stretching makes my body sound like a bone symphony.
Like an old house … with age we become musical instruments
proleNanomachines, son
And when you try to stand back up you make this involuntarily grunt sound that alerts everyone as well
It’d be like trying to be quiet around a sound activated turret.
Worse: a loud “nnyyyaaaaa!” as you try to stand, but then you fall over. That’s how the bullets miss you.
What was your injury?
I broke my leg as a teenager and the way they set the cast caused a buildup of scar tissue in my knee. So now if it gets too cold or if I overwork my knee it will lockup or send a sudden shocking pain down my leg.
That’s awful, I’m sorry. May I ask how you broke your leg?
I’m in a similar position (I’ve gone into detail in previous posts). I remember, while waiting for the EMTs to arrive immediately after the injury, comforting myself by thinking “at least it’s not forever.” Even one of the nurses who rolled me into the OR said “in a few years you won’t even think about this.” Turns out it is forever (from my viewpoint) and I think about it nigh constantly.
Life is good in general, but you’re right. This part sucks.
I was climbing hills on a 4 wheeler. At the top of the hill was a rock that flipped the quad over. I was inexperienced and didn’t know to jump left or right so I jumped straight back. The handlebars landed on my leg breaking both bones just above my ankle.
It usually isn’t an issue but during the winter months it’s pretty irritating.
My condolences to you. I hope that, some day, you find continuous relief. Thanks for sharing.
I don’t even need to crouch. I turn my body and they make a pop/cracking sound
I was sitting on the toilet while reading this and thought „ha, let’s try“.
… yeah my knee cracked while getting up from the toilet
It always bothered me that all the guards in stealth games noisily trudge around each other, yawning, complaining, coughing, but if they hear a whisper of a footstep coming from you they instantly find it highly suspicious and worthy of immediate investigation. Like, how do they know it’s not just another one of their noisy buddies?
“Hmm. Must have been the wind”
“!”
“A box…?”
“A box?”
“Is it steel?”
“Are there locks?”
“Is it filled with a pox?”
“A pox? How delightful, a pox”
Ex skateboarder, my knees always make cracking sounds
It’s okay the sound of the skateboard cover it up.
After years of football, my shoulders crackle every time I lift my arms up. It’s ok though, all the concussions mean I don’t think about it much
My shoulders sound like rice krispies whenever I do pull ups.
e̶t̶t̶y̶b̶l̶a̶t̶a̶n̶t̶I’ve broken many bones in my life, but the standout is my hip. I was 34 when I fractured the femoral neck in my hip joint. When I get up after sitting on a chair/couch for a while, my hip pops LOUD, and normally is pleasant feeling (sometimes really, really not), but anyone in earshot immediately looks to me with alarm because they can’t place what popped to make the sound.
Me: points to hip–> it’s my hip cracking, don’t worry! Them: 🤮
I don’t have the excuse of broken bones, I just have really loud joints. Like my ankle which sounds like a whip cracking.
I once tore my hamstring playing Ultimate on a wet field. I thought I heard a sound like a giant rubber band snapping when it happened but I figured I was just imagining it. But then everybody came running over to me saying “what was that sound?”
My kid just got me to try Beat Saber on her VR headset.
Nobody told me there would be crouching.
exuYou can disable that with mods
Don’t even need mods, just have a look at the options on the left side of the screen when you’re selecting a song.
Ah thanks, it’s been a while since I played and I never did without mods.
Absolutely sucks when your joints start audibly complaining about the gifts genetics and father time have given you
Time to my joints
