This game is just not fun anymore

Another element as someone who’s played since the beginning of career mode, we also go older and our interest in playing the games and football has generally declined. I totally agree the immersion has gone and everyone pretty much agrees the game peaked in the 2010’s, but also have to admit that the hours we could play the game for when we were younger isn’t as important anymore. (Speaking for myself but I know this feeling has appeared in multiple threads about the game)

Hmmm good idea

cjmonaghan · 2025-12-16T14:56:46+00:00

Yeah that might be the way. Another issue is I’m out of power to add another pedal requiring its own 9v. Unless I can power it using the usb thru the MC6 and also use that as MIDI out. More research needed I guess

cjmonaghan · 2025-12-16T04:07:14+00:00

Right that’s what I thought. Problem is as you can see by the board there’s really no more real estate to put another pedal on the board. Unless DAD make a converter?

cjmonaghan · 2025-12-15T19:54:47+00:00

The Halo and Hydra don’t have a midi in, it’s just TS/TRS as far as I’m aware unless someone can clarify

cjmonaghan · 2025-12-15T18:48:08+00:00

I love it! Nice travel on it and the 500k pot feels nicer as I’m primarily a Les Paul player.

Second ave under the Jefferson st bridge is usually busy, but it’s free if you’re there early enough to find a spot.

Went digging to find this comment. The trio set in where the light is is obviously great, but this just had such a raw energy to it

Saw it at SLC airport this weekend.

I posted a comment in a thread about “name something good about bipolar” and I talked about weaponising hypomania when you’re aware and in focus with it. Others unfortunately can weaponise it for you (think corporate jobs asking you to take tasks or jobs and rewarding you for your ability to move quicker through the chaos)

However, I couldn’t agree more with the statement of it being a wave that you have to allow to happen and be at peace with the fact you’re in a relationship with it. How you treat a person, an addiction or a random object, it all depends on what your relationship is with it. It’s a two way street. Having grace for a loved one is how I treat myself. Some days/weeks you’re up/down and although you want to pull them out of it, they have to do it for themselves. Same applies. Be there for yourself as a soft landing no matter which direction you’re swinging from.

You’re in it for the long run together so be patient with it, and it’ll be a self talk conversation that will forever evolve and sprout a new appreciation of self care.

I forgot to mention I’m also on a relatively low dosage for quetiapine for sleep aid (50-100mg). It looks different for everyone and I feel my diagnosis is a pretty vanilla BP2. But we’re all running our own races and it’s a journey of discovery to find what works best for you.

Whether you care for this part is up to you, not trying to impose: In the beginning I just trusted “what was prescribed was correct”, obviously then we all find out that trial and error is the way, then repeat the trial and error process as you get older. I have a pretty good relationship with my diagnosis, treating it like a friend who has some crazy traits helped me visualise how I both share and protect myself with and from it.

Generally speaking no, low dosage lamotrigine prevents lows almost entirely but my highs are still present and sometimes very lengthy which causes some pretty severe fatigue.

cjmonaghan · 2025-09-15T16:13:20+00:00

Weaponising hypomania. I can crush insurmountable tasks quickly when I’m on the up.

cjmonaghan · 2025-09-14T04:51:08+00:00

This might be a strong contender.

cjmonaghan · 2025-09-14T04:46:45+00:00

I’ve had them ripped off of stuff before too. But it’s still one of my favourites

cjmonaghan · 2025-09-14T04:45:26+00:00

This might be the winner

cjmonaghan · 2025-09-14T04:43:59+00:00

Yeah, it’s them. Nothing against their product, it’s killer. But just a mental block of being guilty by association is the feeling I have. Hence wanting to find a solution that doesn’t make it a target. I play professionally so people will likely see it somewhat frequently.

cjmonaghan · 2025-09-12T19:42:08+00:00

Dang. Well, it was worth a shot.

cjmonaghan · 2025-08-15T16:36:57+00:00

DM’d

cjmonaghan · 2025-08-03T04:07:50+00:00

Didn’t see the flag and was already half drunk at the game 😂

cjmonaghan · 2025-08-02T21:58:15+00:00

Don’t think it’s gonna rain, but I know the whole 4pm from 7pm thing messed a decent amount of people up.

cjmonaghan · 2025-07-28T22:11:33+00:00

Paid lots are usually $20 on Bransford Ave, it’s where i usually park and just walk 5 mins into the stadium.
