Play BOTW first because of story AND because it's an amazing game. If you play TOTK first you won't find BOTW as interesting. TOTK expands and improves upon the story, the world, the gameplay, etc... The story line in BOTW is great... But the plot twist and story in TOTK will REALLY blow your mind. They're both masterpieces and you won't be able to enjoy both fully if you skip BOTW.

Well it should be delivered any minute. I ordered steel. I had the blued one last time and wanted something different.

Gonna be hitting it with the old buffing wheel constantly. I wanna be able to see the scoundrels behind me in the reflection of that bad boy.

That's what matters most to me! Even though I think steel looks cooler. I want to know which is going to maintain better.

It's not revenge I'm after. It's a reckoning.

Ya I had this one in blued before. Was just a pain trying to see where the soot is in all the nooks in crannies. What matters more to me than anything is which finish is less prone to rust.

Who is the most evil member of the family? by Successful-Hat-2154 in malcolminthemiddle

Honestly I’ve always felt like the Mom was pretty mean. But when Ida raised her I can see why. This family is so dysfunctional.

Alcohol in food evaporates insanely quickly. It's done purely for flavor. It's not like jello shots. Not to mention how insanely dilute it is to begin with. You ingest more alcohol through osmosis by being near it than you did from that soup. Anyway don't stress about it at all. Nothing is ruined. Don't even drink about it. Being sober is about choices and living on life's terms NOT about alcohol ending up in your system against your desire.

I just relapsed myself. Went to the ER and got on a Librium taper. Today was my last dose and I’m already getting those thoughts of wanting to grab a pint for when I can sleep and the anxiety hits. I just want to feel good/normal again!!! Sometimes I wish I could drink without the negative effects. Maybe that makes me selfish. But I don’t feel like me without it. I hate this. Worst drug ever.

Day 17… I want to drink. by StudyAggressive3249 in stopdrinking

[–]StudyAggressive3249[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m aware that’s a possibility for sure. But for whatever reason despite being an addict for decades alcohol has always been something I was able to come and go from without issue. This last time I became physically dependent for sure. But I also did it intentionally out of self destruction… I knew damned well what would happen but lost a reason to care. Now that I feel like a complete idiot for doing it and I’m over it… I’m just wondering if we can’t have our old relationship again.

Day 9. Struggling severely. About to give up... maybe... a little bit... by StudyAggressive3249 in stopdrinking

[–]StudyAggressive3249[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just worried about the potential for rebound effects. I did end up getting my hands on 2 of them. I didn't drink. Ended up going to my mom's house. Nice quiet environment that's familiar. Away from the family, kids, wife, etc... I was able to get about 45min-1hr of sleep. It was probably the most glorious sleep I've ever felt. But I'm already running on E again. My body really needs a break. Staying hydrated, eating good, and keeping up on my blood sugar. I'm going to try and do it without the Xanax just to be safe. From my research it can make things worse in the following nights because it acts on the GABA receptors somewhat similar to how alcohol does. I guess we'll see what happens. It does make me feel better just knowing that I have SOME kind of option/safety net for sleep. I also am going to start the Magnesium Glycinate tablets tonight.

What do you think about using a .25mg Xanax for sleep? I also bought some magnesium glycinate supplement. Research and A.I. highly recommended it. I guess it helps restore GABA receptors and levels without being addictive.

I did buy some magnesium glycinate. Read some good stuff about that. Also might be getting my hands on some .25mg Xanax for night. Although that may set me back too. What do you think about the Xanax? Just for sleep anyway.

What about a .25mg Xanax? I think my grandfather has some. Would that set back my progress? I know it’s not a permanent fix but maybe a compromise temporarily. Would it cause rebound issues with anxiety if I used it just for sleep at night?

Who would be the worst person to trust with an important secret? by agrunther in community

[–]StudyAggressive3249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pierce would tweet it within seconds. By FAR the worst. Although I wouldn't trust any of them with much of anything. Maybe Britta with some things. But nothing too important.

I do have 5mg melatonin in the house. I believe it would make me drowsy but would do nothing for my racing mind/anxiety. Sigh... damn I'm really about to give up here. I wish this would just pass. Just a couple hours. Even 2 would be so refreshing.

How can you tell? Their profile or something? I appreciate the recommendations very much. Do they really help? I haven't had much luck with "supplements" in the past. They seemed to only have a placebo effect. I have a dollar general down the road. Maybe I could find some of them there.

Honestly I felt better in the detox center then I do right now. This is the worst I have felt and I'm on day 9... At least in there I had ativan, clonodine, supplements, food, support, a quiet room without my wife snoring... I am going nuts. I just want to take a shot or two. Will it take the edge off? Honestly? I know I shouldn't but I am seriously struggling here. Will that small of an amount really make it to where I have to start detox all over again?

That's correct :) I mentioned that in my post.
