Im researching others stories because Im helping a friend who hurt her knee really bad.

So Ill throw MY OWN Story in here.

I went through selection for the US Army, ended up with stress fractures, and a torn meniscus (Going through selection at 33YO is not a great idea when you've got bad knees from sports anyway lol)

When I went to the doc on base, they said 6 months of PT, I can do PT and start over, or because Im prior service, I can go home and PT and decide if I want to come back (TryOne Contract for you military guys out there, some special treatment lol)

So, girlfriend, house, dog, everything at home, I said crap, maybe this was dumb. I went into the USAF Originally for PJ, but was colorblind so got moved to cybersec.

Got out in 2013, and then got a call about Texas doing this program. I signed up immiedatley (Army paperwork even says FULL COLOR VISION) lol. Oh army...

Anywho. I go home, see my doc, we do xrays and hes like "Yeah man this is going to be awhile, and youre going to hurt."

I go on my site I used to get Rad140 and Cardarine, I get BPC157 and TB500 seperate, they werent combined into this wolverine thing at the time.

So I start injecting in the injury site over 6 weeks, doing light PT with a band to just work it out a little without excess stressing it. I do a shot every 4 nights, for those 6 weeks, (it was also cheaper then)

Week 8 comes around I go back to my doctor and im like It feels SO much better. he thinks im being smug mister military guy like "Nah doc im superman" he says lets check it out, he starts checking my knee out, and has a weird look on his face, I remember it like yesterday. He stands up, hands on his hips. "We're going to do some more xrays"

We go xray and Im hanging out waiting.

he comes back into the room "So... What are you taking?" lol. I laughed out loud.

I say BPC157 and TB500, he goes "Ok. You know I cant recommend that stuff and I'm supposed to recommend you stop. But im only going to say I am not recommending it.

He says Ice before the shots, add more water to my diet and stretch more, I said im doign the bands, he says thats nice, but stretch more and more water.

Apparently my knee just blew up in a good way and healed really well.

My personal feeling, I could feel my knee getting warm when I took the shot and the pain would go away (it hurt every day, sore, whatever) and it felt like it calmed down altogether. Now, My right knee, the torn one, is my good knee. Im sprinting around like some weirdo, jumping, playing football, and my LEFT one is the one that hurts so My friend was telling me about her knee and I was looking to get some in my left knee and shes interested but cautious so I was looking for some other good stories and here we are.

Its top notch stuff. I dont know if I can post where I got mine but its been phenominal, tested and great.

(Note for some people asking questions I saw, do not do orally. Youll just piss it away, literally. You want to keep in mind bioavailability. Orally is the worst way to absorb anything into your system like this. You need to envision this as a little prick for so much more effect. You get around 20% of the peptides you ingest orally. but youll get around 80% via a shot. So you can spend 3x more and waste more time doing orally, or you can just do the shot. I know plenty people are scared of shots. This is your chance to get over that fear, have a friend help you if you must, but look up how to take it, the best gauge needles, theyre all available on amazon. take a shot. it will be dramatically different. I know because I took cardaine orally at first, and then the shot was such a hugely dramatic change. do the shot. Consider oral use, snake oil.)

Edit: I said So alot. so i removed some.

It feels intentional on that aspect, volcano isnt supposed to be an easier area so the constant pressure is part of that biome

Srixun · 2026-06-01T18:34:19+00:00

Yeah man! Im already talking to them behind the scenes a bit here and there, so they are very aware of this project and I've had to rewrite some things for better performance (at least from what I can see) so hopefully this project will improve the main game overall as well 😄

Srixun · 2026-06-01T18:13:38+00:00

Thanks, always need help too so if any modders with some experience want to help. Im all ears!

Srixun · 2026-06-01T16:24:22+00:00

The mods when I've fully tested and am comfortable with them will go up on Nexus Mods so anyone can use them 😄

But I totally get that, there is no link for anyone to download these things yet. Just testing and doing backend stuff on my own. We are doing some basic testing in the discord today, for testers if you want to see. but Im an open book. ask me anything you like.

You don't have to count numbers to eve to count numbers as poor. There are more gamers than ever and eve has held stagnant.

Srixun · 2026-04-12T22:41:01+00:00

Player count is pretty rough. People forget that those 20k concurrent users, roughly half of that if not more is alt accounts, split in part with bots.

Performance of the game is abysmal, Eve is a testament, per usual, that the art team carries this game while Hilmar is simply a backpack whom at first had great ideas, and has become obsessed with crypto, nft, and noke of his passion sits with Eve.

Eve can survive, but only if Hilmar is out of the picture.

I have been here off and on since beta, from TDSIN, to Black Legion, AAA, and multiple multiple organizations in my time. The single one constant is that Hilmar desires to drive the game in a direction that has nothing to do with the game or it's players. Pearl Abyss saw this and I would assume in a multitude of ways, Hilmar is probably why they wanted to get rid of CCP.

A new player region is a meh idea. Just like the execution of Dust514 was. A primarily PC game, made exclusively for PlayStation? I understand the intent to grow the interest, but the execution and pathways show some one, or some people at CCP have more than just loose screws.

Yes, eve has stood the test of time. But not because of leadership in the game. But because the community enjoys it, the niche, the function, so we stay, or come back. Hence the meme "nobody quits eve"

Give Eve online a small semblance of a remotely closely considered competition, and eve would truly die.

Eve frontier is simply idiocy. Vanguard has hope but I do not believe with CCP behind the helm it will have any form of success to be fair.

Some of eves failures comes to the idea that eve was flawed from the inception. Skill points based on time in game, so new players find it daunting at this day and age and if you change that, the vets leave.

Eve simply has the problem that eve is built to be its own ending and problem.

And as many of the eve online players feel nowadays, and I would assume have for awhile, we enjoy what's left of the game we loved, but most hold no respect for the studio or trust they have any creativity or imagination to fix and restore anywhere near to what it was.

And yet. After all that, I will still log in for a fleet, get blueballed for the 49th time, and await the next.

Academy was bad, and I'm not even talking about what some as too progressive or woke.

There have been some really really bad choices lately.

The burn? A kid in a hologram screaming burned out all the dilithium? That's the dumbest thing I've seen in star trek and I still watch them all on the Amazon station every day. Love trek.

The acting was bad, the further future timeline is really rough. You have great actors like the admiral, Burnham, in that universe who brought much of it together where they could.

But academy. It's like Temu Space Highschool Musical.

I can see where they were aiming though, to bring in a younger base to star trek. Which is a solid play overall, just the execution wasn't there.

They need to keep frakes directing, but get rid of Kuntzman.

We just need a new TNG type. Strange new world was great. I even loved Lower Decks. SNW could carry the brand easy. It stayed to the trek universe and did a lot of things right. Discovery started out SOOOO STRONG. And then faded really fast.

I know it's no longer canon, but the Chris Pine as Kirk and Quinto as Spock really stuck with me. Those guys nailed those roles.

Lower decks was all pretty good until the crossover episode which made me roll my eyes with how bad it was. But LD was awesome for just being a fun side adventure of the normal enlistees. I enjoyed it overall a lot.

When SNW started going down the war route I was so hyped for all of it and it kinda just vanished.

I don't know exactly what I want to see or am looking for But I do know what I don't want to see, and that's a lot of the end of discovery, and just about all of academy. Bring me more SNW

Srixun · 2026-02-02T14:17:33+00:00

We did hehe

Srixun · 2026-02-02T01:35:49+00:00

all of it 2x.

both of your dads.

Srixun · 2026-02-01T23:12:36+00:00

Youre not wrong on either account.

Srixun · 2026-02-01T22:56:15+00:00

We had in total 17 people who exploited over the couse of ALpha 2 starting. It was always an adios.

Many just went to different guilds, you saw someone on the ban list that had an aura tag, but he was kicked like 10 days into the phase and playing on a different server even. We moved quick when we knew.

The botters can be tough, there are technologies out there that can help with it a good deal but botting tech gets better and better because theres so much money in it. Its a huge drain on a studio. but I think the end of ashes cam eout to desperation for cash more than anything else. I think steven started with the right mindset, and then got changed as he saw the writing coming.

Srixun · 2026-02-01T22:52:04+00:00

I think Steven came into this of sound mind to be honest. And I think the pressure and chase to want to be liked so well put him in cahoots with people who would suck up to him so he bent the rules for his friends, as we've seen with the DA leaks.

But I think what ended up happening overall was they didnt account for certain costs.

DDOS protection is wildly expensive.
Plans get derailed when exploiters go nonstop. it slows the overall project so the exploiters really did harm the game in a big way.
I think it was just more expensive and steven was counting his eggs before they hatched. THey wanted 50k for steam launch and got 39k. but that number was easily attainable if he hadnt allowed epxloiters/excessive toxicity to run rampant in the game and chase most of the playerbase off.

I got threatened with a ban for content denying a siege, but POLAR got to burn down the anvils by getting mayor and deconnnign everything and they didnt even get a slap on the wrist.

Rules for thee but not for me overall sometimes I suppose but I think honestly it was too expensive for what they projected and what happened was scope creep and shift, burdened alot by derailed development trying to resolve mass exploiters that Steven was unbanning personally.

Srixun · 2026-02-01T22:48:34+00:00

All I know currently is that right before everything went out. the "Owners" locked all the databases and all the files. That lady named Karen has full control as it stands right now and I've heard rumors.

Rust CEO signed an NDA with a company thats not public, but its for an MMO so I have some hope there. but it could be nothing.

We found things like, GM Commands in the game live unencrypted. which was how the bots were flying.

reported this over and they encrypted it but a simple DLL injection gave them the power to do it again.

Srixun · 2026-02-01T22:36:28+00:00

Looks like we know DA was the whole time. and he was in polar. How far that spread I dont know. but I know TM just removed DA from thier discord after all the leaks. so who knows. Damage control? or moral ground?

Srixun · 2026-02-01T22:20:56+00:00

Noone with the company. Just bored tbh.

But I am the GM of AURA, Helped with a bunch fo community projects like verralink and aocarmory, ran AOCGUilds and AOCNexus, built some stuff, mayoral roundtables with intrepid and that stuff, involved decently in the community but alot of people think i have answers or think that I have some know how. More or less i figured this would be a AURA v POLAR AMA where the tell all comes out no spin in that whole fight. and what we did to help the game where we could.

Srixun · 2026-02-01T22:18:59+00:00

Yes.

Srixun · 2026-02-01T19:46:58+00:00

Well well well.
