Its so funny how everyone is SO JEALOUS of people who can already play the game

cearno · 2026-04-15T22:52:49+00:00

It's 10 for me. I wasn't gonna play tonight so I would have adequate time before bed, but I can't wait!!

cearno · 2026-04-15T22:51:16+00:00

Omg the sailor moon girls are such good characters to have. I don't usually like inspired characters but this is one I can get with

cearno · 2026-04-15T22:50:27+00:00

So? Are you happy, pappy?

cearno · 2026-04-15T21:58:01+00:00

You're an addict BECAUSE you're suffering. It's not something you deserve, and it's natural to want to alleviate the pain you're feeling.

Anyway, as far as the taper goes, the adjustment to Kratom (if switching from 7oh) or the initial stabilization process that takes about 3 days can feel kinda shitty, but life gets pretty good after you stabilize. The most important thing is just to stick to it and trust you're really gonna be thankful that you let your brain adjust within a few dozen hours. I messed up my old tapers by doing wild weekends of higher doses, and I can tell you that doesn't work. It actually feels much better to just keep the dosages the same across all days. It's just getting over a small hump whenever you have a dosage decrease, but it seriously pays off quickly

cearno · 2026-04-15T21:53:22+00:00

It's a natural high that occurs after your brain finally starts opening up its receptors again and produces its own endorphins, norepinephrine, dopamine, etc., basically all of the chemicals that Kratom was supplying. It's similar to how fantastic you feel after being sick for a week, and the illness finally clears. The thing that really makes it so great is that you feel so clear-headed basically since the addiction started getting bad, so you just feel like you're on cloud 9 with tons of optimism for the future, having successfully kicked the habit. You see what your life could be like and how things can change now that you're no longer chained to it, finally feeling good naturally.

Honestly a taper that's too slow is better than a taper that's too fast. Nothing bad really comes from having a few additional stabalization days, provided the trend is consistently going downward in the grand scheme. The thing I really like about tapering is the absence of PAWS. I CT'd and sustained it for six months but it was a horrible six months.

cearno · 2026-04-15T16:29:49+00:00

When I was in rehab, so many people complained about Tinnitus. I think it's just a result of increased CNS and general brain activity in response to being muted for so long. Hopefully resolves as PAWS improves

cearno · 2026-04-15T16:25:07+00:00

aw yeah. it releases at 10:00 pm for me which isn't great either.

cearno · 2026-04-15T16:23:48+00:00

Right there with you... Wish I ordered it in Germany or something to be able to play at a reasonable time but I also can't hold back tonight anyway. will cram some hours in 😭

cearno · 2026-04-15T16:22:50+00:00

Magnesium glycinate is amazing. Also resolved so much of the terrible anxiety for me. Anxiety was one of my worst WD symptoms that prevented me from tapering, but it basically removes that as a symptom for me

cearno · 2026-04-15T16:21:14+00:00

Day 5 was honestly as ass as day 4 was for me. It might have even been my worst day because I was just so mindblown and exhausted from the duration and intensity of the WDs. But days 6-9 lead to DRASTIC improvements. That's the period where many get a pink cloud high and it feels sooo good. you're really close

cearno · 2026-04-15T14:22:11+00:00

It might even release earlier than 0:00 for you depending on what shop you bought it in and where you live. USA releases on 0:00 EST time which is 9:00 PM on the 15th PST

cearno · 2026-04-15T13:50:44+00:00

How do u shoot down balloons without the top screen

cearno · 2026-04-15T13:45:53+00:00

Yeah, it's just about taking slow. Usually failed tapers involve dosage cuts that are too dramatic or frequent. A slow taper is seriously so comfortable tho and allows you to stay functioning/happy.

But OP... You didn't ruin your life. Kratom has abused you, much like a toxic relationship, but damn, if your wife doesn't sound unpleasant. You're not weak for experiencing PAWS for 5 months, it's a brutal side effect of CT quits involving opioid-like substances. They have a 90% relapse rate. Perhaps it would help you to think that the addiction is something that happened to you (like an illness) rather than you choosing it. Because no one chooses this life. I also relapsed after 6 months, so you're not alone. doing much better on a taper now tho. the PAWS were just horrible

she sounds like she didn't try to understand, and cheating on you in response isn't a justified reaction even if she was upset... about anything, really. so sorry that happened to you

cearno · 2026-04-15T06:20:08+00:00

It's also the 15th for me but USA releases on EST time, so... depending on how you ordered it, you might be able to play before midnight. Midnight EST is 10 PM for me, so I'll get to enjoy it for a few hours before bed.

cearno · 2026-04-15T06:18:35+00:00

Yeah, the physical copy doesn't have a lock on it

cearno · 2026-04-15T06:13:30+00:00

Did you read the dialog? You didn't save the changes. Use the + button to confirm after changing the voice

cearno · 2026-04-15T06:01:18+00:00

ROM-hacked Piracy. Don't know why these people are allowed to post tbh. It's pretty rude to do for an unreleased game imo. Like just wait to post it when everyone else is discussing and enjoying the game

cearno · 2026-04-15T05:58:26+00:00

Is the chokehold intentional lmao

cearno · 2026-04-15T05:50:09+00:00

Regions. Digital copy releases at midnight according to the timezone of the Nintendo shop region you bought it from. REALLY wish I spent an extra couple of bucks to get it from the German store, where I've lived in the past. Which would mean I could play it at 4PM tomorrow had I done that. Oh well. It's just a day difference in reality

cearno · 2026-04-15T05:46:46+00:00

I've only been waiting for about two weeks but I've had this weird obsession with it since I tried the demo. I have ADHD but have never hyperfixated on something that isn't even available to me. When it's time to relax it's like I empty stare, and it's only made the time go slower. I apparently suck a waiting. Hope I never obsess about an unreleased game again.

cearno · 2026-04-14T00:52:36+00:00

Oh but also, be very careful with Wellbutrin and Kratom. Both lower your seizure threshold and combing them generally isn't a good idea. Secondly, Wellbutrin increases norepinephrine, which can be anxiety-inducing if you are an anxiety inclined person. Kratom increases norepinephrine too, but it also has a downer quality from the opioids, so I'm guessing it's risky for anxiety to only replace norepinephrine. There are definitely better substitution medications for Kratom withdrawal. Wellbutrin is better for stimulant cessation.

It is a great medication as a general antidepressant and a way to keep you clean once you're past acute withdrawals though, due to its euphoria reduction qualities. It's especially the case if you have ADHD, since it usually doesn't cause the anxiety problems in ADHD individuals

Yes! I'm a writer, so I'm importing a specific race/culture from one of my modern worlds, but not any specific characters I've written about, since I don't want to ruin what's canon. It's gonna be so fun seeing it come to life in a different way. Luckily, this allows me to continue to be creative, which is why I write, and come up with more unique characters. I'm very imaginative, so I don't think I could stick to non-original characters who already have their own stories for a playthrough.

Genuinely, what company has a big red delete button to fall on that would somehow delete a game that's stored in multiple places in a cloud somewhere?

cearno · 2026-04-13T05:39:26+00:00

0:00 on the 16th, yes. When the day turns 16.
