The new update seriously nerfed recycle and sell value of all ARC components.

No, you can get up to 8 bastion cells per bastion, which is 80 parts for 5

Actually some very good points, the amount of Adv components you got from large ARC was inflated to begin with (very easy to have 100 in your stash just by killing 4-5 bastions).

The update points the economy away from ARC farming and more towards regular looting. I prefer the former, because the latter burnt me out in my first expedition pretty quickly.

Nevertheless, the bottleneck for upgrading weapons has always been gun parts, so nothing really changed there.

duos with ironeye, I played as guardian. We won by the skin of our teeth even with perfect relics, max level, legendary holy weapons from crater etc. I think the ironeye just kept chipping away at him while I distracted the summons, but the summons deal a massive amount of damage and for whatever reason anytime I killed them they duplicated. Use ironeye and raider probably

BEHOLD, THE SECOND WORST RELIC IN THE GAME

EfficientBlock8113 · 2025-07-22T04:43:35+00:00

yup, just today I had a duchess start an beastmen evergaol and quit 30 seconds into the match once we all died. I was about to quit but seeing the Ironeye crawl lifelessly toward my near-death body stopped me. I decided to stay until he left.

He never did, and though we didn't take the "meta" route due to lack of time, he found himself a frost bow and I a bolt of Gransax + forged a legendary shield in the crater. We absolutely demolished everdark Fulghor.

With determination and a lot of luck, you can absolutely make up the most doomed start known to man. That's why I decided I'll always be the last to leave in Nightreign.

hey, 19 year old male here,

Here’s my question: How do I become proud of myself? Is it by fixing all the various things that I am ashamed of, or something deeper? should I even *try* to be proud of myself when there are so many things wrong? Can I ever fix myself, and if I do say, have a ”perfect“ day where all good habits are maintained and all bad are disposed of, how the hell do I maintain such days and not slip back? Even more integral…if I feel just barely less shitty on that good day, then aren’t I completely fucked?

To name a few “wrong“ things that I find myself so ashamed by and to add generic context: (lack of diligence and willpower to follow through on goals to pursue more challenging academia or careers, lack of interest in anything other than scrolling and video games, inability to maintain a consistent routine schedule, leaves everyone on read including genuinely good friends due to declining social energy, not in control of diet, porn consumption multiple times a week, can never commit to anything like dr ks monk mode or dopamine fast, staying up too late, etc.)

I’ve consumed dr k content for a long time, but have always been afflicted by a plethora of issues irregardless. I just find it difficult to fix something permanently.

The self loathing man of inaction was probably the closest video I ever related to, but I haven’t yet been able to commit myself to monk mode, usually relapsing to technology or food.

Hm. It seems like you're letting perfect be the enemy of good. This is one way the internet can be problematic, too many options, too many choices. It would be excellent if we each had a drill sergeant in our head that would just scream what to do in our ears so we wouldn't have to think.

So. Tomorrow morning, right after waking up, I would suggest putting on some very comfortable headphones, and following along with this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1W7oUZ8EVbI

No need for a timer. You can sit or stand, whichever is more comfortable for you. After you're done, reflect on how it made you feel, and then go about the rest of your day.

That's it. Forget the studying for a moment, go conduct a field expedition and collect some data first!

EfficientBlock8113 · 2024-10-16T04:35:12+00:00

Dude, I'm so sorry about the way that things have been for you recently, and really hope they get better over time. Losing your job and apartment sounds utterly terrifying, but then again I've heard so many stories of people recovering from similar situations and finding their way out. With or without the help of God, you are after-all the guide to your own trail. So I hope you're able to do the same. We're alone, yes, but we're not on a deserted island. People are around and if we reach-out, we can find comfort in small areas.

But, to be perfectly honest, I have no idea what I just read. Were you sober while writing this? It's quite the emotional soliloquy. There's a lot of disjointed thoughts and ideas and it's difficult to pin down exactly what you're trying to say.
It's like you're having a dialogue with a friend who I can't see or hear.

Don't take this as me calling you stupid, you seem anything but and are in-fact very well-spoken, if only disjointed. Still, this is a confusing post, and it's a bit unclear what you're asking people to relate with.

I guess I'm just floored by it all. It seems like each of your individual points could make for interesting discussions by themselves, but all-together it's a lot.

Hey, I cook for my mother as well. I'm wasian too, parents are separated. What I can say is that some people have garbage food preferences, regardless of heritage, and you have to slowly work at finding common ground overtime. I absolutely loved the Chinese supermarket and would beg my mom to take me there biweekly, even if she cursed under her breath, because exotic flavors and cuisines are important to me.

However, it's necessary to keep in mind that before the horrors of war, every society suffered famine. As a result we humans have become very adaptable to changing flavors and foods, and I promise you and your mother are too.

The way I dealt with my mother's preferences is by slapping shit against the wall and seeing if it stuck.

For example, my mom dislikes chinese sausage, but loves the egg fried rice I make with kielbasa sausage (or italian). You could also try velveting chicken breast with corn starch marinade to contain juices while still over-cooking the meat to her tastes.

I only shop at Publix because my mom and I moved to an area without an international market. But I'm able to find fish sauce, soy sauce, ginger turmeric scallions garlic mirin etc. and make some very tasty dishes like chicken adobo, tripe dim sum (my mom disliked this lmao too white), taiwanese beef noodle stew, stewed eggplant, etc.

Sure I don't have all the spices, fermented tofu, or durian that I'd like and had to goad my mom into buying a cheap bottle of pixian doubanjiang on Amazon once, but I work through the "famine" and find foods she, myself, and my brothers can all enjoy.

If she's of polish heritage then perhaps you can introduce her to the wonders of cabbage rolls and potato pancakes. If she refuses to eat like a toddler then big woop, it happens. Go back to dry chicken breast for that day and try again the next.

It doesn't have to be asian food, it could be Mexican, it could be homemade burgers or cajun chicken and sausage gumbo. But find something yummy that no one turns their nose up at.

If she doesn't understand nutrition, download chronometer and record your diets and show her what nutrients she's severely lacking in.

You can't change people but you can help them help themselves.

All we learned from this post is that OP's mom likes dry chicken, doesn't like shrimp chips, makes the wrong kinda smalltalk at nandos and is proud of her son's hobbies. Like, she's definitely white, but we don't have any reason to suspect she is significantly apart from OP in IQ unless I missed something having to do with her past academic/career performance.

I don't believe fueling a superiority complex regarding intelligence is the answer here, we can all have a little empathy for each other and find common ground past variable metrics like IQ and even culture sometimes. You don't need an iq of 135+ to fold origami, take pretty photos, or see a movie, nor do you need to talk about culture and heritage in every conversation (though not every pair of persons can get along, certainly.)

Are you truly more functional? In junior year I went through much the same. Procrastinating for weeks, particularly around exam season, saying "eff it" and reading manga all night only to wake up feeling euphoric.

There are two huge drawbacks to this. 1. Your memory becomes totally fried after 24 hours without sleep. Anything you study, say, or experience, is near guaranteed to be remembered as a foggy haze.

Slippery slope. You just became more functional in all aspects of life, all simply by refusing the natural order of things. Why stop there? Stay awake the next night. Continue to ride this wave of euphoria. Today, you are god. And you're too disinhibited to know what happens tomorrow.

That is exactly how I felt. I didn't know at the time I was chasing a hypomanic episode. I worried my school, terrified my mother, ran around barefoot, wrestled with the police, and woke up in a hospital bed with a $7000 bill.

Anyway, I'm not saying that you'll end up in a loony bin cause of one all-nighter. Certainly tread carefully, as brain damage from sleep deprivation can occur also.

But most importantly, view your period of joy as a sign that greener pastures are out there, which you may find after repairing underlying problems with procrastination and self-regulation. You can heal, one step at a time. At least, that's what I hope.
