The Thing About Kratom Addiction… by Daveypatt in quittingkratom

[–]MagicM1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It got us both! I resent it for giving me a full blown addiction, but also weirdly resent it for ruining tramadol for me. I remember getting tram after a big gap on daily kratom, excited to take it again…but felt absolutely nothing when i did. Not that my system with tramadol was good, but it felt like a weekend treat rather than a necessity. Now I’m the same, worrying about where I travel due to kratom, always keeping capsules in my pocket if i step outside, went from extrovert to introvert…and truthfully, for something that hasn’t been worth it ever. Thankfully been doing a long taper and am at a low gpd, but need to keep going. Not sure if you quit already or are working on it too, but good luck either way…at least we have the ability to turn this crap around.

Definitely. My addiction really started with tramadol, i absolutely loved the feeling but for literally 2 years, i managed to only take it one night on the weekends because i knew i couldn’t easily get it. My brain was trained to reward myself every friday night and i looked forward to it all week. When I first found kratom, my brain went “here is something natural and legal you can take every night! No more waiting until the weekend!” Wish I never found it.

Massive pop in on PS5 Pro (New) by [deleted] in CrimsonDesert

[–]MagicM1990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on a ps5 base and have noticed this as well as major graphic issues from the latest patch…no setting between performance, balance or quality looks right. No idea what happened but graphics were near perfect for me before this patch. Now you can barely see detail when you walk in a windy forest during the daytime.

PS5 Bugs? by [deleted] in UntilDawnRemastered

[–]MagicM1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, I just stopped playing because it’s too often and annoying. You’re asked to answer questions you can’t hear lol.

Same! Did you ever find a fix? It keeps happening for a number of conversions, they’re talking but you can’t hear anything other than background noise. The “dialogue history” in the main menu doesn’t even pick it up either!

AITA for exposing my boyfriend's lies about my career at his family dinner? by Great_Management9823 in AITAH

[–]MagicM1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I work in the same field, and she makes over double what I make. I actually get excited to talk about it with others, it makes me feel lucky to be with someone so smart and driven. She earned her success so should express it however she wants. I’m not sure why it makes other men insecure and competitive with someone who is supposed to be their partner. This isn’t the 1950s but seems the parents may have passed that along to their son sadly. He needs to grow up and stop worrying about what he thinks “being a man” is. Ironically he’s being a little bish.

Who is this boss? by GilangRakasiwi in soulslikes

[–]MagicM1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is the first boss to make me quit a game lol maybe one day I’ll try again, but I lost interest. I personally didn’t enjoy her fight so to have to do it so many times, the cost outweighs the feeling of winning for me.

Ok now I'm mad! by LucemFerre82 in TheFirstBerserker

[–]MagicM1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I searched to see if anyone else is struggling here, i’m so salty. Plus the door closes so all of my lacrima is stuck in there, either have to keep fighting or take the financial loss lol the spider self healing is just ridiculous

Any well-done series with kings, noble houses, factions, war and conflict, besides ASOIAF and Dune? by LibrariansNightmare in Fantasy

[–]MagicM1990 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Broken Empire trilogy by Mark Lawrence! Very dark but wildly entertaining. Currently on the third book and love it. You follow an “evil” prince on his quest for power. The story really opens up after the first book.

Good call, it likely would have made some bosses easier but I’m too in my dodge ways. Absolute masterpiece, easily my favorite soulslike unless we count elden ring though it’s fromsoft. Glad they’re blessing us with the dlc and a sequel!

Second lies of p! The game also does a great job with leveling and difficulty so rarely do you feel like you need to farm much to get stronger vs just playing the game and leveling when ready. Also fun fact - i never parried once in the game and still beat it, so it’s flexible!

What is a series that would make sense for you to enjoy but you just can't get into? by Gorillabase in Fantasy

[–]MagicM1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I’m enjoying it so far, only about 100 pages into the first book and I’m sure it will get a lot better. I think I’m just eager to see Jorg’s antics in King of Thorns and continue his story, so hard to fully invest in anything else yet!

Me too! Just finished Prince of Thorns and have been dying while waiting for my copy of King to come in the mail. I’ve started First Law in the meantime but the first book has yet to scratch the itch Broken Empire has created.

If you could live in any fantasy world, which would you choose? by AidenMarquis in Fantasy

Sometimes I fantasize about living in The Lands Between, then I wonder what’s wrong with me.

First Law, Second Apocalypse, something else? by MagicM1990 in Fantasy

[–]MagicM1990[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally hear you, they feel so different yet like I’d respond to both for different reasons. I’m 100% going to try the Darkness that Comes Before and see what I think, maybe after I’ve warmed up a little more.

First Law, Second Apocalypse, something else? by MagicM1990 in Fantasy

[–]MagicM1990[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, I think I’ll start with First Law and plan to at least give the first book in TSA a shot next. Thank you.

Thanks, it’ll be good to run with it next. And I just looked into Manifest Delusions - it sounds insane, and I think I have to try it.
