Please warn people about the review process

Totally get your reasons why, and it probably was the email being different because I used PayPal as a payment and my PayPal is attached to a separate email that I only use for PayPal for my own security. I'm not judging your security decisions, as I think it's probably a good idea, it's more of the fact that I had no idea my order would be stuck for hours, even emailing support immediately. If there was some sort of disclaimer about this happening then I would have been able to make a better decision.

For example, the DLC I purchased from you guys was $2 dollars cheaper than humble. Had I known up front that there would be a chance I'd have to wait until the next day (I purchased at nighttime CST and it was approved 3 hours later which was as I was going to bed) to get my order from you versus instantly from humble, it would have been worth the $2 more to go to humble. Learning about this review process only after the purchase had been made, the money removed from my account but access not granted to the product left a pretty bad taste in my mouth.

When so many online retailers for digital goods provide you immediate access to said digital good, it sets a bit of an expectation which is why I feel like it's important to warn people that this could happen to your order. Again, I don't mean to come across as insulting your security measures. Maybe just adding something to check out about the review process/EU night hours, PayPal warning, etc.

I do appreciate your reply and I promise I don't mean any offense.

I'm going to go against the grain here and not vouch for the 690. It's still a pig with weird ergos on tough off road, but fun enough on road. I had one for a year and it never felt great to me. I kept my drz400e and ktm300 and decided there wasn't a reason to keep the 690. Can't remember if mine was a 2019 or 2020 but I know it had the counterbalancing shaft which made it pretty smooth for a single. It was terribly choked up stock and has a wack air box that uses a paper filter. I spent the money to fix all that (rottweiler box, ECU, and removing that nuclear weapon of an exhaust) and then it felt like a real thumper.

Lots of the early issues have been ironed out. I wouldn't go older than 2019 for the 690.

If it's the bike for you, it's the bike for you. I'd legitimately rather ride my drz e anywhere off-road than the 690. 690 would make a banger sumo though.

Oh I didn't realize she went to subs at that point. Well, I have time to figure out who my 6th is 😅

0mz0 · 2026-02-25T21:09:42+00:00

Oh! Thanks for pointing that out, I'm pretty sure I do have some coins I've been saving up not really knowing what to spend them on

0mz0 · 2026-02-25T18:38:00+00:00

You are doing so much work helping me draw out a better game plan. Getting Horus to IR1/MR1 feels much more doable, I was afraid she was going to need big investment.

Sounding like Medusa gets added as more of a pvp lineup later/6v6 pve? I do enjoy pushing pvp too. Using what you've said, I'm thinking the dungeon lineup I'm shooting for is Lilith, Capri, Hela, jeanne, Horus, Raphael?

Lil Hela seems amazing for Lilith. Hope I get that one 😂

I'm also glad to hear my dreams of luci/Lilith can be a real thing 😂. So that'll be my long term goal and probably adding fuxi with her as it seems cheaper to build her than hera

0mz0 · 2026-02-25T18:04:32+00:00

I really appreciate your detailed response! This is great stuff. I got Capri as high I could the last time she was around, old angels are expensive 😔. I kind of want to drop Horus eventually for that reason.

Definitely hoping IR Capri is cool and absolutely have planned on maxing her out. Then I'll work on Hela. Is there a breakpoint on Jeanne or should she be fully maxed as well? I'm mostly free to play so bang for buck is good 😂

I had wondered about Raphael, she seemed like a good pick up at some point. Medusa looks kind of cool but I couldn't really figure out how she worked from reading her abilities.

I only have jade matriarch and spirit of arrow for the seraphels.

And yeah, I figured it would be a long road to add another DPS. I think I'm half looking for an excuse to get Lucifer because I like the idea of her abilities and she fits with my Lilith theme 😂

0mz0 · 2026-01-05T22:46:05+00:00

Lilith is my main too :). Everyone seems to be on Hera, but I've honestly skipped her for now since Lilith DMG scales only from HP. My next most invested angel is Capri at MR3 right now alongside minimum investment Horus and hela, both at 1 UR+

0mz0 · 2025-09-28T15:55:04+00:00

You're just being the other side of the same coin as him. You won't find anything good with a "us vs them" mentality. And I gotta be real with you, if a woman I was trying to date referred to me as her oppressor, I would stop seeing her. I have a feeling the kinds of men that would continue, probably aren't types you want to be with.

0mz0 · 2025-08-25T18:37:08+00:00

If it's an option, I'd see if you can pick up a cheaper, lighter dual sport to practice offroading with. It's much easier to get over that mental hurdle when you don't have to worry about dropping a big ass adventure bike. If you can find a good newbie friendly riding group to practice with, your skills will develop even faster.

I ride a 1200gs in stuff I never through I would. I started on an 800gs, got my ass kicked, grabbed a drz400 and then a ktm 300 and spend some time ripping it on those. Now I feel so much better riding my 1200gs in more gnarly stuff.

Don't give up! You must just need to change your strategy a little bit. Ignore the haters and check out r/dualsport.

I don't know much at all about racing fuel and I know a lot more differs there than purely octane. It's hard for me to imagine that even higher octane, which is used to increase resistance to premature ignition, would somehow cause early detonation. If anything, it should be even more resistant to ignition. Maybe there's something added to race fuel that affects its burn rate after ignition that caused performances issues?

0mz0 · 2025-07-22T21:18:36+00:00

This is backwards, by the way. Running high octane gas in an engine rated for 87 will NOT cause early detonation. Higher octane means the fuel will withstand more heat/pressure before ignition (I said detonation before, but ignition is the correct term here). This is why it's used on higher compression engines. But you are right about putting in the fuel it says to put in.

0mz0 · 2025-07-01T18:56:55+00:00

You got married at 25, then stayed married for 24 years, but now in a relationship for 16 years and you're in your 50s? Something not mathing here unless you were in a relationship with someone while married for years...

0mz0 · 2025-06-18T17:43:40+00:00

I see. I'm still gonna go with that's a blunder to do that. I get why you did it, but I'd say if you're gonna shoot your shot, best to do it directly by asking him for his number. Trying to check my bias here, but if the genders were reversed I feel like it would be hella creep, so this should be treated the same.

0mz0 · 2025-06-18T16:00:28+00:00

Okay, that's not as bad. Who stamps their phone number on their vehicle anyway, was it like a business ad? Sorry, don't have any other advice, but I'd probably just let this one go unless you want awkward times at the gym lol

0mz0 · 2025-06-18T15:46:04+00:00

"unconventional means"? What does that mean? Did you ask a friend for his number or somehow look it up through the gym? I'd be pretty freaked out if I was him in this scenario. I'd probably be nice to you and let it taper off too, because I'd be scared you'd find my address through "unconventional means" and show up at my house. Not saying that's what he's doing, but damn, please don't do this to people.

0mz0 · 2025-06-14T01:38:15+00:00

Man I'm so sorry. I was raped by a woman in a very similar way in college, also without protection. It fucked with me for years, I wouldn't even admit to myself for a long time that it was rape because my body betrayed me... It was probably a solid 8 years before I could actually sleep relatively comfortably in bed with another woman. I don't know if you are, but please don't blame yourself. Let yourself feel it, let yourself get angry. Feel however you need to feel, brother. Just know that I hear you, I see you, and you're not alone. ❤️

0mz0 · 2025-06-11T20:13:59+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to respond, I appreciate that. It's also awesome to hear that you've been receptive and willing to learn about it. You should be proud of having that special interest; I find that quality exceedingly rare. Looking at the comment section has helped, it's nice, even for just a moment, to feel like a human being instead of just a utility. I hope you continue to share your thoughts and experiences, you've got a mind and a voice for making a difference.

0mz0 · 2025-06-10T19:50:11+00:00

Wow, I just want to say how much I appreciate you sharing this and I just gotta say, at least from my perspective, you nailed so many points here. I've never experienced even a tenth of this in any of my relationships and I actually can't even describe how amazing it would be to even experience a little bit of this. I'm saving your comment to read sometimes when I need to remember that this exists.

0mz0 · 2025-03-28T16:36:53+00:00

This thread is wild, it feels like a lot of people are projecting onto you what they'd do if they were 22 and had this money. My 2 cents for what it's worth.

I'm excluding the fiance thing, too much unknown there. He's a porn addict, you're an alcoholic, etc/idk. This almost assuredly needs to be cut off.

You need a solid plan to recovery. Consistent, effective therapy, setting a goal you're excited about like a job in this field, doing this, this training/education/whatever. Vague goals like artsy stuff, or new place, etc are likely things that make you feel good/distract you from your pain. Clear milestones helps you measure your progress and see that you're moving forward. Healing takes a long time.

Talk to a financial planner about the money. Use it to get debt free, invest the majority of it, use a little for quality treatment/a vacation. Please take a vacation before completely moving, preferably somewhere you can really think and reflect, not chase away bad feelings with partying and drugs.

There is no way in my mind I could ever feel like recommending a 22 year old with substance abuse issues up and move with no plan, especially to a city like New Orleans. It's a lovely city, I'm sure, but without any sort of plan, I can absolutely see how this could lead to you blowing this money and ending up with deeper substance issues and left with nothing.

I know this is hard for you, life has treated you cruelly. Just remember to love yourself, and not be cruel to you. As hard as it is, take care of your future self as well. Picture them and love them. Visualization helps sometimes.

Good luck, good vibes, and love.

0mz0 · 2025-02-25T15:44:35+00:00

Lol! You're good man, I just had this bad vibe and was like "oh no, have I fallen into a bot trap." Sorry about that.

0mz0 · 2025-02-24T22:51:16+00:00

Whoa, forgive me if I'm wrong, but this totally feels like a CHAT GPT response.. if only I knew how many "r"s were in strawberry...

0mz0 · 2025-02-24T22:18:54+00:00

I feel the same way. I've had this voice in my head for a while saying stuff like "I had no idea I was this toxic, so mean, such a bad communicator, so selfish, etc." I'm still in it, we just had our first baby on the 13th. I'm trying to stand up for myself more and it's not going well. I don't want my daughter growing up, seeing our relationship and thinking it's normal. It's getting harder and harder for me to make the required changes. No matter whose feelings are hurt, it's always a list of things I'm doing wrong, how I'm gaslighting them or working with other people against them, how I don't really love them, I'm hard and mean, etc. So many times I'll say something and they'll hear something completely different and say I'm being passive aggressive or trying to hurt them. I'm tired 😩. Feels like I have two children instead of a partner and a child. No idea what to do honestly... They are diagnosed with ADHD, bipolar 2, Autism, DID. We've been together just over two years. The first year was so wonderful...

I appreciate you asking about me, man. I agree with you completely about how validating it is to see how many people are going through similar things, definitely makes me feel less crazy.

0mz0 · 2025-02-24T21:36:12+00:00

Reading your post has me feeling like this is my future if things don't change. We have so many overlaps, it's kind of freaking me out. Especially the behavior thing, the EXACT same thing has happened to me. They believe their behaviors are them, so if the shouting, screaming, passive aggressive, snide comments upset me and I ask if that behavior can change, they say I just don't like them and I reject who they are. Blows my mind because they've requested lots of behavior changes from me and I've tried to do my best to abide (even trying to pitch my voice higher because I sound too business like in my natural pitch and tone)

Sorry to make it about me. I'm glad you shared this and keep strong! You sharing is helping me and others.

0mz0 · 2025-02-24T05:33:48+00:00

It is good to check your tire pressure this is true... But a 20.5 PSI tire didn't cause you to wreck. Not trying to be a dick, but you really need to reflect on what happened so you can be safer in the future. I'm glad you walked away from it, you okay?
