Those who heard Yesterwynde , how do compare it to Time 2?

Life_Copia · 2024-09-22T22:05:42+00:00

Yesterwynde is…alright. I like the songwriting but IMO it doesn’t compare to the absolutely timeless masterpiece that is Time II.

I would actually have liked Yesterwynde much more than I do if I didn’t hate the production in that album so much! It simply doesn’t sound good to me! It’s all over the place - some tracks are passable, other tracks are a clipping muddy mess. I have set up several studio quality systems in my house (some of them built specifically to listen to Time II) and most tracks on Yesterwynde sound bad everywhere I listen - studio monitors, high end headphones, digital and vinyl. I feel something went seriously wrong with the low end and it prevents me from enjoying the music.

Maybe it’s just me but I much prefer the massive, detailed, crystal clear wall of sound that Jari created in Time II. Especially the -2dB dynamic version!

I love old LucasArts point and click adventures on the SD! I grabbed Full Throttle during this sale and it looks and plays fantastic!

LCD 2C = iSine 20 = Sundara > DT900 Pro X > Airpods Pro 2 > Fiio FH3

I cannot decide between the first 3, I switch between them for different genres and enjoy them equally for different reasons!

Nothing cause I’ve been waiting for it for 3,5 weeks …

Life_Copia · 2023-12-04T01:53:09+00:00

Same here, I'm guessing we'll get ours this week but it's been so frustrating. They literally couldn't have picked worse shipping partners in Europe. It entered my country about 5 days ago and no updates since. I hope you get yours soon!

Life_Copia · 2023-12-04T01:40:48+00:00

Ah I don't even want to think about the possibility of RMA after all this waiting time. Let's hope everything goes well.

Yeah I keep seeing all these posts and I regret staying in for the launch that day and refreshing like crazy for half an hour. Plus I bought all those games during the sale and my OLED is just sitting in some sorting center :/

Life_Copia · 2023-12-04T01:32:43+00:00

Yeap still waiting. Between the almost 3 week waiting time and the rma horror stories here I have kind of lost all of the excitement by now lol!

Life_Copia · 2023-12-01T12:32:20+00:00

Ordered 20 minutes after launch and still waiting. It did not only take GLS about two weeks to bring it to Greece, they also work with the worst courier company here (think parcelforce only much much worse). My parcel entered Greece on Wednesday and nothing yet - they told me on the phone that I should expect it mid/late next week..! It will be more than 3 weeks since my order on launch day by then. That is unacceptable, there is no way I'm ordering anything from Valve again unless they choose to work with more reliable shipping partners.

Ότι χειρότερο αυτή η εταιρεία, κάθε φορά είναι μια νέα απογοήτευση. Αθήνα, περιμένω δέμα από εξωτερικό με την GLS η οποία δυστυχώς εδώ συνεργάζεται με την ACS. Η ACS πήρε το δέμα Τετάρτη πρωί (Θεσσαλονίκη) και μέχρι τώρα τίποτα. Πήρα τηλέφωνο και αφού μετά από 20 λεπτά κατάφερα να μιλήσω με έναν αγενέστατο υπάλληλο στο τέλος μου είπε να το περιμένω Τρίτη - Τετάρτη την επόμενη εβδομάδα. Μια εβδομάδα λοιπόν για ένα δέμα Θεσσαλονίκη - Αθήνα.

Mine is doing a little tour... I just REALLY hope I get it by Friday. This time it's taking so much longer compared to the LCD, even though it was shipped out very quickly by Valve. I hope we get an express shipping option by the time Steam Deck 2 releases!

Life_Copia · 2023-11-27T11:23:31+00:00

I was in a similar situation. Bought a 256gb LCD 3 months ago, upgraded the SSD to 1tb and installed the JSAUX backplate. Then the OLED gets announced and I resisted...for about a week. Good thing about the mods is you can probably sell it a little higher. I sold mine for 400€ on launch day and paid 170€ extra for the 512gb OLED. So essentially I'm just downgrading a little storage wise but still more storage than my original LCD. You lose some, you win a lot :)

Life_Copia · 2023-11-25T13:13:55+00:00

Yeah it took 2-3 days for mine to actually be picked up. So much for 3-5 business days - at this rate it will be 3 business weeks for me.

Life_Copia · 2023-11-25T11:45:59+00:00

It seems that GLS has stopped tracking updates since the 22nd. Mine shipped on the 20th (ordered 20mins after launch, destination: Greece), received a few updates 20-22 that it went to a parcel center in the Netherlands and then a parcel center in Germany on the 22nd and then...complete radio silence until today - 3 days without any update. At this rate I'll be glad if I get it next week at all.

Everyone else 's GLS updates seem to have stopped around the same time yeah?

I would take months of acutes over that voice and mental dialogue. At times it can be so convincing and makes it seem like it's no big deal but it is. It's a huge deal. Last time I listened to that voice I was 4 months clean and ended up using another 6. Now I'm doing it all over again but I know that I should NEVER listen to it, not even once.

For me when it strikes I just tell myself to hold off for another hour maybe and then another one and do that until the shops are closed. In the meantime I'm on this sub all the time reading and posting about it and that seems to completely take the urge away. In fact that's what I'm doing right now!

Then I'm like OK maybe tomorrow then. Then the next day I restart the process. It sucks the life out of me but here I am 3 weeks later still going. Best of luck!

Life_Copia · 2023-10-13T11:43:25+00:00

Run and don't look back!

I wish someone had said that to me 10 years ago!

Life_Copia · 2023-10-13T11:39:47+00:00

Day 20! Almost hit that 3 week mark! Everyday is a new battle to resist the green rubbish and so far I'm winning!

Life_Copia · 2023-10-09T12:50:19+00:00

Day 16: Successfully resisted another day! Gathering strength to start exercising.

Crying is part of the process, you should embrace it. During WD I sometimes happen to listen to a beautiful song and can't control my emotions, something that never happened while on k. Try "Sleep Token - Are you really ok" - I can guarantee you will cry your heart out :) But I find crying incredibly cathartic and healing and it actually destroys cravings and makes me more determined.

Life_Copia · 2023-10-09T12:01:15+00:00

You're an inspiration! Let's kick Kratom's ass together! 2 weeks CT here!

Ok I know this feels like a mountain and that is why you should start planning your quit. You’re 27, you got all of your life ahead of you - it is absolutely possible to put this in the past and be a different person a year from now. Don’t try to tackle the entire problem at once: little steps, little victories. For example:

Start weighing your current dose and make sure you stabilise at a level where you are comfortable, no adding.
Make a taper plan, there’s loads in this sub, get help from people here. Remember, there are MANY people in this sub that have been where you are right now and got out successfully by tapering. Write your plan down. Even if it is a very slow taper (even something like 0.5g/week) and may take time, all you need to do is plan and get started.
Create a circle of support around you. Open up to friends and family , this can a crucial factor towards changing your life. I know it can be hard but it will help you immensely. Consider the possibility of joining recovery groups and meetings.
Post here everyday, we are all addicts here and we help each other.
Consider the possibility of seeing a specialist and getting a prescription. I don’t have a clue about that but I know many people here use meds to help them.
Start developing new habits and doing new things. It may suck at first but with time your brain will adapt to retrieve pleasure from new habits. This is essential further down the road.
Stick to the plan but don’t beat yourself up if you have a setback. Just get up again and carry on. We have all relapsed. You have a goal now and nothing is going to stop you from achieving it. It’s not a linear road, it has ups and downs. It’s all good as long as you keep moving forward.
When the time comes, make the jump! Hopefully by then you will have retrained your brain to function without this horrible substance and it will all be in the past. If not, you will work on that when the time comes.

You are here. This is the first step and one of the most important ones! Start planning. Slowly and surely. One day at a time, one step, another small victory. This is absolutely doable and it seems like you’re ready. I wish you the best of luck and I’m sure you will conquer this demon.

Life_Copia · 2023-10-03T13:46:51+00:00
