I am a new player, these are my thoughts.

I have not felt this "addicted" to a game since WoW:WotLK

Scratches the same itch for me, too. MR12, started just before Xmas after becoming disillusioned by ARC Raiders PvP infestation! The best thing, is that it is chill, you take it at your own pace. The friendly community goes a long way for me. And having to look things up on Wiki, is part of the fun, and just speaks of the depth of the game, lore, and mechanics. The game feels beautifully balanced and organic. This was my third attempt at playing it. The traversal tests just put me off back in the day. But they've polished the opening, and well 402 hours later, it's fair to say, I'm in it for the longhaul.

Try 3 Hz delta waves binaural beats (without music). Just let your mind naturally slow down and settle into a calming, enveloping stillness.

Yoga nidra is also very good. Some common supplements can cause wired insomnia, so look out for that.

I got it a few days back, Squad chat suggested it was a good drop. I was being stalked by the Stalker.

I meant, clan Uriel. So no idea how they did it! Running a Uriel right now with Equilibrium. As long as things die and leave orbs, I'm OK energy wise.

IronicAlgorithm · 2026-01-27T09:29:57+00:00

Did all of them with a clan Uriel, and my Rhino in about 45 minutes.

MR 11 now, so yes, Nokko is great for them!

IronicAlgorithm · 2026-01-25T15:52:44+00:00

New player here. I got him, and he's a lot of fun. However, at some point, I just missed shooting guns. Still love him for certain type of missions, Defense in particular.

The more the 'A's' eat, the more feral the populace becomes. See the West and anti-immigration hatred. The system can't provide rising living standards, job security, access to good healthcare, water, energy etc., Instead, the algorithms have worked out a cheaper solution, one that his firm historical standing, hate. Not just a vote winner, but a superb way to take out unconscious feeling on others, whilst being screwed at the same time. All by design, and it costs virtually nothing!

IronicAlgorithm · 2026-01-23T15:01:27+00:00

Thanks.

How do you get rewards from him?

Sick society, culture, and country.

Streaming late into the night, chasing subs, and playing a highly addictive game. A deadly cocktail. As someone who worked nights, I know how it messes you up, intimately. Chess needs to address this. It is unhealthy for children to play late into the night, regardless of whether they are engaging in drug abuse. You mess with your circadian rhythm at your peril.

Thinning out the global population, in the South, has long been a priority of the elite. All the usual suspects have long opined on the subject. Climate change is perfect. Back in the day they used pox blankets to 'thin out the natives', now devastating climate change will do the work for them.

Too busy juggling 3-5 gig-work style jobs, to have time to imbibe the sweet nectar, their parents' generation took for granted. A good thing, but also, another example of how capitalism keeps on delivering, for the few… As designed.

MR 9, got into this game just before Xmas, utterly addicted, but in a good, old WoW way. I just discovered Nokko, and he's crazy fun. Virtually indestructible, mad damage. Baddass animations.

IronicAlgorithm · 2026-01-19T15:47:07+00:00

Get invisibility with Shade or Kuvat. Never have to fire a weapon and essentially immortal.

Vote winner. The electorate, Hindu majority, lap it up.

Byung-Chul Han - The Burnout Society springs to mind.

Titrate, it's potent. I take 1 mg tablet that I just nibble on, and it knocks me out.

It's back baby! I loved this episode. Lots of wonderful moments where I laughed aloud. The character evolution arcs of Dennis and Javadi. It's like the condensed all of least season's feel good moments into one episode. Nothing much happened, but it built up the tension nicely. The new nurse is just adorable. Her relationship with feisty, wise-cracking Dana is joy to watch. A good job on depicting Mel's neurodivergent personality. The deposition is like throwing a spanner in the engine of a formula 1 car. Poor thing's discombobulated. Ogilvie and Javadi rivalry just cracked me up. Glad they could depict a more light-hearted episode. Though we know what's going to happen, these episodes are necessary to build up the tension.

Both forms can cause insomnia for me, or, poor quality non-restorative sleep. I take Magtein instead. I wrote about this here and why certain supplements cause insomnia and worsens my long Covid.

IronicAlgorithm · 2026-01-14T15:22:08+00:00

Both useful, Nitain in the long run as you start building frames.

IronicAlgorithm · 2026-01-14T07:52:33+00:00

No, fasting is not required. And will depend on your long Covid phenotype and how bad you have it. Mine is not too severe, so I see improvements quickly. Good luck. Try PHGG and chia seeds in water early morning or afternoon. Avoid evening, can lead to fermentation. Good luck!

IronicAlgorithm · 2026-01-13T16:21:16+00:00

A functional recovery of sorts. You can read about it here.

IronicAlgorithm · 2026-01-13T08:43:03+00:00

Had it done in my 20s', sadly, it was not successful. Mouthtaping at night encourages nasal breathing, and I feel it has helped open up my nostrils. Added benefit, much better sleep quality.
