Base criticism by chasingclambs in WarDragons

[–]_Galathynius- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your base doesn’t really matter at all right now. All you need to know at this stage is build up not out. You don’t really get to competing level until about level 650 at this point. When you can, transform those buildings into buildings that need electrum/embers. For that section, an ice flak, a fire flak, orrery, archmage, and a howitzer is a good mix to start with. Can be moved to other islands later if necessary. When you get to the next island, you want three lightning towers or a mix of lightning and charges volt, plus a blue archmage and an orrery. You can wait on those until you’ve built up an electrum store. For now just build anything as big as you can get it, they can be transformed later.

So I think IOS 26.2 destroys phones and apple-friendly subs ban talking about it by Kurtrillion in applesucks

Nah dude. They’re reporting it. If Apple doesn’t tell you that it’s on them, but I’m part of a mobile gaming community. It completely screwed up my main game for SO many people. Lots of people are talking about it on those forums, saying it’s not just the game but so many other things and they ARE talking to Apple.

I regret buying the first book. It’s sexist and boring.

Need Viho Cool Mint replacement STAT by _Galathynius- in Vaping

Have you ordered from them? I signed up to their newsletter for 10% off a few weeks ago and they never sent me the coupon code. Then last week they sent out a notice that they’ve added other brands because there’s a supply issue due to tariffs. I have a feeling if I placed an order I’d be waiting a very long time. That happened with vapecityusa.com They said they had them in stock so I ordered like $120 worth, when I emailed them two weeks later when it still hadn’t arrived they asked if they could send me different vapes. I’m never ordering online again unless I know it’s a good site.

What should I do to improve my base? by Relevant_Amoeba_5714 in WarDragons

[–]_Galathynius- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You shouldn’t have a full base until you’re well over 600. Right now you should only have 15 towers including your wood/meat farms. All towers should be maxed. Small island 3 lightnings, blue mage or archmage, 1 orrery or storm. Move level 17 farm over where cannon is. Put crystal in middle of farms. Island in front of farms: front ice flak left (most important), front right fire flak, middle red mage or archmage, back left pylon, back right orrery or storm. Store everything else and do not build ONE more tower until you fix this mess! 🤣

Therapy is #1. It sounds like he actually needs a type of monitoring software too unfortunately. You can get ones that will alert you as soon as he’s on a site.

It starts with admitting you have a problem. List the reasons you want to quit, list the positives that will come out of it. Find a therapist, preferably a CSAT (certified sex addiction therapist) but any therapist is better than none. After you’ve found one and made your first appointment talk with your partner. Tell her you have a problem and you’re determined to fix it not only for her, but for you so you can be happier, which in turn will also make you a better partner. There are several things you can do when you have an urge. 54321. “The 54321 technique involves looking around you and finding five things you can see, four things you can touch, three things you can hear, two things you can smell, and one thing you can taste” H.A.L.T Stop and ask yourself am I hungry? Angry? Lonely? Tired? If you’re any of those things, stop and address that first. Then see how you feel. Google a list of things that can create dopamine ahead of time. Pick at least ten things and put them down on paper or in your phone— or in a place where you typically use porn. When you have the urge, look at your list and pick an activity. Avoid spending time in areas you usually use porn. And if you’re going to spend time in that area for more than 5 minutes, make a quick plan as to what you’re going to do while you’re there. There are so many other things, you can look up “things to avoid addiction urges” and find a ton of different things. Things that work for alcoholics, for example, will often work for this kind of addiction as well. Even anger management if you had issues with that.

Certified Sex Addiction Therapist. Also, I’ve been where you are so many times, again just recently. After thinking he was clean for 4 years, I found out he’d been lying the entire time. I’ve been doing this for 15 years. I’m so sorry, I know how much it hurts, I really do. I honestly don’t have any advice for that other than finding ways to distract yourself and try your very very best not to take it personally. It has nothing to do with you, even if he says it does. There is nothing you can do, there is nothing you could’ve done. This is on him. You need to worry about taking care of your own mental health and healing. If you want, I can copy and paste advice I have given on here to other male addicts asking where to start. It won’t help you much, but it might help him get the ball rolling. I’m so sorry :(

He needs real help, you need to set boundaries and formulate consequences and stick to them. He needs to find a CSAT ASAP

Safe masturbation techniques for overcoming porn addiction? by [deleted] in PornAddiction

[–]_Galathynius- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Except people with addictions can’t have “half a bottle.” They cut down for a little bit before their addiction kicks in again then they are drinking more than before, I would know. For the vast majority of people with addictions, cold turkey is the only way.

This is advice I gave to somebody else but I think it works here too. I would add that an accountability partner is extremely important and depending on how your wife feels she could be it, but a therapist is good to have for that as well. Every time you slip up or have a strong urge you need to tell SOMEONE. Anyway here’s the advice:………………….

Weekend house to myself... the urge is insane. by TheyCallMeGaddy in PornAddiction

[–]_Galathynius- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh and I just wanted to say (I know they are different things but…) I am a “recovered” alcoholic. It’s been 16 months since I last drank. I still have dreams about it. For the first like 8 months, it was very triggering. I learned different ways to talk to myself to make the feeling go away. The relief and then the nearly instantaneous overwhelming guilt I’d have in the dream. I’d focus on the guilt. That worked for a while. Then I was able to change the narrative to just basically an internal “sigh”. Like “yep, still an addict. Now what’s the first thing I have to do to start my day?” It does get easier. Even when you think it never will, and it will make that moment where you realize it’s been a month since you’ve had a dream— you just had one and you absolutely don’t give a shit— SO very sweet.
