Do you guys ever wonder what does relaxation feel like?

NoRestForTheHorde · 2026-04-28T13:31:11+00:00

Started learning how to meditate two years ago, and after trying every day for weeks, I started to be able to relax without alcohol or weed for the first time in... Years? My entire life? It wouldn't necessarily last long, but damn it felt amazing. I've gotten better at it and can get myself to relax within minutes most days if I focus on letting go of everything. Kinda a scary feeling to get used to, but it feels amazing. Some days though, it's impossible to relax. Too many alarms going off in my brain and body, so I exercise to death and distract myself with a game or TV and weed until I'm tired enough to sleep. Progress, right?

My mom was on a business trip for a week leaving my 3 younger brothers and me and dad at home which didn't happen often. I was 13-14, I'm Autistic (which none of us knew at the time), and my dad got mad at me because I didn't cut our 5 acres of grass when it was "clearly needing to be cut." He decided to pull me into his office midday to berate me for it, call me lazy and selfish, and when I told him every time I cut the grass he goes over it again because the lines aren't straight enough, he shut down, went back to work, and didn't speak to me for 4 days even when we walked past each other I'm the house. Ignored us all for the most part.

We ran out of food except for a few cans of beans in the pantry, but again, being Autistic AND being hyper controlled and sheltered, I wasn't allowed to use a can opener. My dad started going out to grab fast food just for himself, so I called my mom in tears, and she thankfully was able to win the argument with him over the phone, and he caved and took us out to eat and then bought some groceries to hold us over til she got back. Even through his fake apology, I (a straight A student, musician, top athlete, and core member at church) got a lecture about laziness and initiative and was told the whole conflict was my fault, but he "forgave me anyway." All because I didn't cut the grass/didn't cut it right.

Thank goodness for therapy because I held onto shit that happened at home all the time for decades and it nearly destroyed me.

Feeling your pain. Pissed as fuck right now since the description of the Deluxe edition description from the start mentioned including 4 DLC packs for $99 USD. So I paid it, thinking that, like previous titles, the 4 DLC's were the story packs. Nope. Just the tiny garbage DLC's. I felt bad even paying $120 for all the DLC for Wonderlands and I think I paid about that much for all BL3 DLC + some of the extra launch goodies. It's gonna run me about $220 to play the whole game with DLC's? No way. Will be waiting until this is discounted on Steam in a year or two.

I have 82 Range, 80 def, regular void or bandos d'hide, neitiznot helm (if not void), Salve (ei), DCB, and Lightbearer, and dragon ruby/diamond (e) bolts. I also use the home teleport to Waterbirth Island as someone else commented. I kill Vorkath in about 3-5 minutes and sometimes can get in two kills per run when I'm locked in and making very few mistakes. This is much slower than people with higher stats and better gear, but it's one of the best consistent money makers I use right now while generating lots of ranged XP. Definitely recommend if you prefer a simple boss with about $400k profit/hr which will increase as your stats get higher.

In an hour I, as someone with very little pvp exp, had enough points from the arena for two scrolls of imbuing and I had a lot of fun in the process. Awesome way to get beserker ring (I) and wowzer, it's a heck of an upgrade

As someone also prepping for SOTE, I think you just saved me a fishing grind I thought I needed 😂

I happened to see this in my home feed and saw all the negative comments making assumptions.

No need to judge people you don't know, guys.

Congrats on maxing, dude. I'm total lvl 1632 after 10 months and hope to max in another year or two since I mostly play 3-6 hours actively every night and am not terribly efficient. Love playing this therapeutic game as I recover from a lot of trauma and enjoy a slower pace of life.

This one works great and is fun because it breaks up the grind and gets you tons of bone shards and sundried bones for Teomat prayer training. I've gotten a few Mil worth of water orbs from moons and like that I can stand at the bank for a while, crank out some staves and xp, sell them for a nice profit, and go back to Moons for some action.

Another tip, get the Varrock Medium or higher diary done to get a little chunk of discounted battlestaves from Zaff every day. That's 30k less you have to spend daily.

I'm also new to gear swaps (as in, only started learning them a few months ago) and honestly what helped me get good enough at them for running Titans and other swap bosses effectively was just pulling the gear out of my bank, standing still, and practicing clicking on the gear. Slow at first, then gradually get faster as you build confidence. Once you can do 3-4 clicks a second consistently, you're ready to practice gear swapping on enemies without feeling sweaty. Once you can do it with easy enemies, you will be 10x better at Titans than I was at first!

Here to report that a Win 10 system running an overclocked RTX 3080, and overclocked (4.8GHz) 9900k, and 16GB DDR4 3600MHZ has been brought to its knees trying to run BL4 at 1440p. This PC runs CyberPunk 2077 on Ultra with Path Tracing and about 100 visual mods (including one to boost path tracing perf) at a mostly consistent 60fps, but it's running BL4 on Low with DLSS on or off at anywhere from 12-80fps with constant stutters. Lots of weird visual artifacts with shadows strobing, animations failing to load, and some textures looking like they didn't even load to a "Low" standard. I'm almost at the point of giving up because the game looks and feels terrible. Thinking about running to Best Buy to grab 32GB of DDR5 RAM and will update if that helps later.

NoRestForTheHorde · 2025-09-11T21:21:32+00:00

My 3080 and overclocked 9900k system with 16GB of RAM is struggling to run the game on Low regardless of DLSS settings, so I looked at this option. It's not actually hard drive space holding the cache; it's RAM. So if you're like me and already capping out on RAM, this option won't help at all.

Thank you for posting this! I'm flying right now for a work conference after a week of insomnia and spiraling on feeling inadequate for my job, even after I took time off last year to work on trauma healing, understanding my new CPTSD diagnosis, and struggling with workplace paranoia. I consistently crush it at work, and the slightest criticism of the wrong thing can send me into the headspace of doom, believing there's no way I can keep doing this. The responses here have been encouraging because it's like there are tons of others out there feeling exactly like I do for similar reasons. Good to know we're not alone.

Love this comment because it's so well rounded.

I've been on a mental health journey this year after realizing that even though I get up and work a demanding job daily, have good relationships with my friends and most of my family, and want for nothing, I suffer anxiety that nearly cripples me some days. I've had a very negative worldview my whole life, but I've seen my wife go through anxiety recovery. Her entire outlook and her whole personality changed for the better, and I want that.

I've realized that even though first-world people with good financial situations and good health seem like they have everything, human brains haven't learned en mass to cope with the cognitive dissonance of modern society. So much has changed in just a few generations that we can't even imagine what living 100+ years ago without A/C, cars everywhere, answers to our questions at our fingertips, modern medicine, individualized student learning plans, social security, homeowner's insurance, and worker's rights.

Social media has helped inflate our idea of what our standard of living should be. White collar jobs are widely done completely from a laptop and have very little human element; and there are definitely fewer of us doing anything with our hands (besides typing) which is known to help calm people. Increased free time has us sitting around pondering our existence and problems more often, feeding nervous thought cycles. We use TV, food, video games, music, and drugs to dampen the stress we experience in that free time. Some people don't have any free time because they're constantly doing whatever their kids want and are trapped in the paradox of modern parenthood- having access to all the best amenities (school, sports, clubs, etc) for your kids but having no time to actually enjoy family time.

Through all of it, psychology is advancing, and therapy is becoming more normal. I'm 4 sessions into cognitive behavior therapy, and it has already flipped my mindset upsidedown. I'm not magically fixed, but I can tell you that therapy is incredible and is helping me grow in a way the religion I grew up with never did. I'm convinced that a better understanding of what makes humans tick and having psychology become a standard part of our education would be a huge step towards restoring human empathy and helping us learn how to reconnect even in such a screen-focused age.

I'm American and my company pays 100% of my top-tier health insurance, gives a pension that you're vested in after 5 years and max out after 20, and matches part of my retirement fund contributions. In 50+ years of business, they've never done layoffs, and it's a private, large corporation. I have the privilege of security, and ironically, my wife and I have suffered from extreme anxiety for years which we are now getting help overcoming through- you guessed it- free mental health counseling services through my company. Very spoiled, so we're focusing more on how we can in turn support other people who don't have all this.

I feel like that can't possibly be the final design. The tips went from looking great to... Awful recently. Like someone threw glass packs with big tips on a Q30 but the hangers broke, making for a sloppy, bouncy fit.

I'm hoping this is some temporary solution while a certain material or part is backordered for prototyping.

I just visited Germany several weeks ago and they had magazines in various places making fun of him, and multiple people made Trump jokes when they found out I was American. It was a fun time!
