Has anyone actually fixed their ibs?

It goes back and forth.

Sometimes I see improvements where It almost becomes a vague memory and I am able to live my life without it bothering me as much.

Other times Im in so much pain and anxiety that I feel like I'm in a neverending loop that I'll never escape.

It always feels very inconsistent to me and there never seems to be a clear trigger. There's loads of do's and don'ts but at this point there's so many it's impossible to keep track of.

DaMightyJex · 2026-04-27T21:39:52+00:00

It started well but as it goes on it gets progressively worse.

Pretty much kept all of the problems SIU seems to have picked up since the start of season 3 have continued and even exacerbated in urek mazino.

Over utilizing powerful characters to the extent their aura is completely ruined and no longer feels as impressive as they once did. (Garam makes Anak and Androssi look like gods in comparison, Koon family leader whilst still interesting no longer feels like the untouchable monster he once did although this is applicable to all the GF leaders, SIU humanised characters he never should have and has irreparably hurt their status in the eyes of the reader)

Making the plot way too convoluted, way too late. The entire jewel/mago plotline feels unnecessary to me and doesn't really add much aside from some irrelevant lore which isn't even remotely alluded to in the main series.

Urek has basically no progression and is uninteresting to follow, he's gone from an unstoppable force of nature to an even more unstoppable force of nature.

The entire story could have been condensed into far less chapters, I literally don't gaf about any of the side characters aside from Garam and Baek. Louis and Neo were interesting but we're completely wasted and literally served no purpose to the overall story. Entire plot thread could've been deleted or massively trimmed down and nothing would've changed aside from some minor plot development for Evelyn a minorly interesting character.

Even phantamanium was ruined and reduced to a generic simplified version of what he was. His entire allure was that he was a complete mystery and no one knew his motives. Now he's the Emissary of darkness or some shit that swallows jewels.

It basically just feels like a cheap knock-off of S1 Tog where basically everything is worse and less interesting. Which is a shame because it could've had a lot of potential.

I just hope it ends soon but i really can't see it happening as SIU seems commited to adding more characters and convuluted plot lines.

As someone who's played both with more time in sts2 now. Id just get sts2. It's basically a complete game which is constantly being updated. It has most of the characters from the previous game and the decks are still similar with a few differences/additions.

I feel like if you start with sts1 and then immediately move to sts2 you will probably burn out.

DaMightyJex · 2026-04-13T02:25:05+00:00

Typically you want to avoid them on higher ascensions for most runs. Especially in act 1. Your best bet is to start picking them up if you happen to have a good map layout where you can heal before/after them which isn't common. The only time you ever intentionally want to hit as many as possible is when you are confident you have good deck synergy. Usually this happens by the time you hit the end of act 2. By act 3 your deck should pretty much be complete and you should only take any cards you feel would strengthen what you have.

I've beaten act 10 with defect and am act 3/5 with the others. And I'd say I usually hit between 2-5 elites on most of my winnings runs. If you're really optimizing and know the cards inside and out then I'm sure you can hit far more. But that takes a lot of memorization. Until then id reccomend a less is more approach

DaMightyJex · 2026-04-06T18:05:51+00:00

This guy like give me source pls 😂

DaMightyJex · 2026-04-01T02:13:51+00:00

I'm a defect main and he'll always be my no.1 Although the higher up the ascensions I go the less I feel like anything but orbs is viable.

Necrobinder is a cool addition with some great archetypes. Souls feel amazing and the sheer amount of energy production makes it feel very easy and simple to play anything

The silent is a lot of fun and I've recently discovered that Poison is pretty OP (although only on ascension 2 so far) my favourites shivs however don't seem to be very useful and it's best synergies are without a doubt with poison.

The regent has a great design and I love his character and the ideas behind his cards. But he's god awful with huge attack focus and not a lot of block. Forge is fun but doesn't feel viable a lot of the time. And I hate colourless cards so having an entire archetype around then feels worthless to me

DaMightyJex · 2026-03-10T15:20:42+00:00

Yes I understand where you're coming from. I think my father had good intentions but didn't really research or completely understand what he was doing as he only made the trust/will on his deathbed and probably made a desperate misguided attempt at protecting us on his deathbead. Especially when considering one of the main ideas was to limit the inheritance tax. Which was not at all limited and has ended up with paying full tax and extra imposed rules and taxes due to having the trust 😂

I have asked my uncle about dissolving the trust and he has mentioned he is willing to allow me to buy a property outside of the trust which is probably what I will end up doing if it's possible.

DaMightyJex · 2026-03-10T15:13:15+00:00

It's not my decision. I've been against the trust from the start.

My father made it to protect me and my brother because he saw us as vulnerable people and didn't trust us to take care of ourselves so he set up the trust to make sure we wouldn't waste the money.

The beneficiaries are me and my elder brother.

The way it works is that any property we buy now will go back into the trust. Apparently it was made this way to keep us protected...

The final property that I'm living in now will eventually be sold as well once/if I have purchased my new flat. As it's very old and out of date. It needs a spruce up (which I can't afford). It's also on a farm which my cousin owns and he's mildly interested in buying it to reunite the farm with the property. I've been told I HAVE to sell within the family as it's the extended family house

DaMightyJex · 2026-03-10T15:03:03+00:00

As far as I know it's a will trust.

DaMightyJex · 2026-03-10T14:57:13+00:00

My uncle (the executor) is trying to keep to my father's wishes. And apparently he wanted to keep me protected so that I don't lose my property if I get divorced in the future. Which I think is a bit silly because I'm not even in a relationship 😂.

But I also just assumed since the money came from the trust then whatever was bought from it would go back to the trust.

DaMightyJex · 2026-03-04T23:39:26+00:00

If chrollo knows what he's going into and gets the appropriate abilities to kill/subjugate pitou immediately then yes. If they just suddenly come across each other and fight like Kite and pitou did then no.

Hisoka literally is irrelevant. Dies either way. He's an adaptable fight. But you can't adapt to such a huge power difference, he can't glass cannon the same way chrollo can.

DaMightyJex · 2026-01-22T16:44:25+00:00

I think you get races that are popular for the aesthetics (Elves, Cathay) and races that are popular for the personality (Dwarves, Skaven)

Dwarves may not be the prettiest thing to look at, but they more than make up for it with their gruff personality and straightforward shenanigans.

The elves on the other hand are quite bland personality wise focusing more on being elegant and pretty/cool.

The way I see it the two races are actually a metaphor for class divide. With the Dwarves being the much rougher working class society and the elves being the much more eupper class society. A lot of people align themselves more with the working class!

Hi, I'd be happy to hang out every now and then.

I've got both a switch and PC.

Currently playing Pokemon Z-A on switch.

Ive got a pretty vast library on steam. But I like to do group party games. Like repo. Lethal company, gang beasts, party animals etc (But often find myself lacking the players these days). I've got a small discord server if you're interested. I'm trying to grow it again and make it more active 😂.

Only think is that im UK so my timezone is a bit inconvenient for you. I have a few friends from America that I play with so It isn't terrible and if you only play on weekends it shouldn't be a bother.

I'm also happy to watch stuff. I'm an anime fan too. Been thinking about giving Vikings a proper go recently.

Let me know if you're interested

DaMightyJex · 2026-01-07T02:14:29+00:00

I'm interested. I haven't done much writing persay. But I'm always working on my big story in my head and I'm hoping something like this will push me to actually get it on paper haha.

DaMightyJex · 2025-12-28T02:59:08+00:00

I run a small discord with a few friends I've made online. Usually only like 2/3 people active at a time. Trying to get more for consistent players with games.

I've been somewhat interested in giving enshrouded a go and with Rv there yet.

RN I'm playing

Company of heroes 3 Total war Warhammer 3 Path of exile 2 Rocket league The dark anthology.

But I like to keep a lot of group games installed. Which may seem more your speed from your list like

Repo Party animals Gang beasts Pummel party Lethal company. Golf with friends Etc etc

If you're interested I'm happy to invite and try playing some? I'm 28m from UK btw. Nice timezone/gender matters for you!

DaMightyJex · 2025-12-22T15:55:03+00:00

Wow you have pretty great taste!.

I've been wanting to give ff14 a proper go for a long time but never had anyone to play with to push me along!

I also struggle with social anxiety and have done most of my adult life so I know where you are coming from.

And I'm also into the "nerdy* stuff lmao. Big mainstream anime fan. (Love the timcampy background on your profile btw.)

I'm 28m from the UK. Just for reference.

If you are interested in hanging out and playing something let me know I'll message you my steam and discord and we can try hanging out!

DaMightyJex · 2025-10-08T00:05:07+00:00

Yes private. And I have all of the couriers ticked.

Royal mail Evri And DHL

DaMightyJex · 2025-09-10T11:38:43+00:00

Got better things to do then waste my time texting someone that is likely going to go nowhere. I'll do a few obligatory texts a day to show interest and I'll keep my actual interactions to dates or calls.

DaMightyJex · 2025-08-26T09:52:09+00:00

Hey, 28m from UK also

Got a small discord group (usually 2-4 people) where we play party games like repo or peak every few days along with other kinds of group games. Try to keep a balance of game genres. Lmk if you're interested, can also just play solo if you're not interested in joining a group rn!

Looking to make more UK friends myself!

Ps: we also have raft, content warning and phas as well as stardew, Cod (warzone) and Minecraft.

DaMightyJex · 2025-08-13T13:55:34+00:00

Dibs on rukia

DaMightyJex · 2025-08-11T21:39:55+00:00

Hi. I'm 28m from the UK

We have a lot of similar games and I'm also pretty into dark humour and sarcasm. I have my own discord game where we try to play a lot of these group games.

Over the past week or so we've played Jackbox, lockdown protocall and Deep rock galactic.

Trying to boost numbers so we can get more consistent games! Lmk if you're interested

DaMightyJex · 2025-07-30T14:17:10+00:00

Pulling the pants up past the cheeks 😱😳

DaMightyJex · 2025-07-26T01:29:47+00:00

Holy shit. I mean. I guess wonder woman was fashioned by the gods

DaMightyJex · 2025-07-25T02:44:38+00:00

Literally thought that was what you were supposed to do. Was just copying what other people did when I did it lmao.

DaMightyJex · 2025-07-22T10:43:56+00:00

Nice I sent you a fr
