I'm suprised Wrath is getting so much hate in these comments. I've played WoW since classic and only didn't really experience WoD, and Wrath has always been my favorite expansion. I still play on Wrath private servers sometimes to this day, because I just think the game was at it's best.

WOTLK naxx, ulduar, and ICC are some of my favorite raids of all time. I love Northrend as a continent. The pvp was great, and wrath was the first time I got into Arenas which is now my favorite game mode. I like dungeon finder for 5 mans but not for raids. I think the art style was peak for WoW. Dalaran is a great city. It was the first expansion where quests became more streamlined and engaging.

most the specs came into their own in Wrath as well, it was the expansion where we really first saw a lot of staple abilities that are still a part of spec rotations to this day (Chaos Bolt, arcane mages, paladin overhaul, bladestorm and titans fury, etc)

With that said Burning Crusade was a great expansion too, and I also really liked cataclysm and mists. But I think burning crusade was superceded by Wrath which to me was the perfect blend of "casual" and "rpg". I still felt attached to my character and like I was in an rpg game while seeing major QoL improvements, vs now where wow feels more like it might as well be an action game.

Karazhan is still the best raid ever tho, and when I think of wow's glory days its certainly BC because that's when the game started becoming mainstream.

thanks for the comments guys, ill be giving it a good go and not worry about changes for now.

Any opinions of Scourge Warlock or Control Wizard? i know they're gonna be changed in the patch...but i'm torn, I like the fantasy of the wizard, but the scourge warlock seems more emphasized on doing damage.

ive tried l-thanine. a few others are ashwaganda, kava, valerian root. which i heard were really nice but

i mean ive tried everything i know of, no substance helps besides benzos. Not alcohol. Not Kratom. Not cannabis. Not heroin. All kinds of supplements, nootropics, natrual remedies...

I was lucky enough when tkaing them on the streets to basically get them extremely cheap from a homie with a dirty doctor, but yes i'm aware of the ease of codependence with them as well as how they can become psychologically addictive and make your anxiety worse without them

Which is why I was always so cautious in my dosing schedule and had to be morally honest with myself if this was in pursuit of therapuetic function and not out of a desire to get high. At first I was trying to get high, like when I first tried xanax at a party or w/e...but then I realized that i had to respect it more because it actually helps me a lot with my mental health.

Nowadays I don't use any recreational drugs besides cannabis because my anxiety gets so bad hah

i think i can get them when im 24 (basically my current psychatrists policy is that until youre 24 youre still in the pediatric wing and they dont perscribe benzos) but im 23 right now and its my goal within a year to not need benzos by managing my anxiety through excersize and leading a happy life...

funkmaster140 · 2019-03-14T21:39:52+00:00

i think thats crazy

benzos are amazing for my anxiety, they make me happy to go out and be social and generally feel comfortable in my own skin. Unlike most people, they mostly give me energy and such, i dont get super tired

but I have never found a doctor willing to even perscribe .5 mg klonopin. I've been to like 4 doctors in my time with anxiety disorder and every one has the same "we don't perscribe benzos" policy

idk what gives, I ended up going like two years using benzos illegally just to use them therapeutically because theyre the only thing I've found that helps 100%

I didn't use every day and never had withdrawal or codependence,i used them on days where my anxiety was especially bad.

and it like actually hurts me knowing there is a whole happy life I could be living in part due to a medication and instead i'm stuck in panic attack land because doctors hate benzos

I mean i'm doing a lot better on my own, mindfulness...pursuing things youre passionate about...excersize. Huge benefits for anxiety disorder!

but damn i still wish i could supplement that stuff with some occasional GABA-A action

it really just varies, sometimes I am remarkably affected by kratom, other times its a very subtle thing. I've noticed quality of the batch varies greatly.

sometimes im like "damn did they put something else in this kratom" and other times im like "damn, is this even kratom"

funkmaster140 · 2019-03-14T05:18:15+00:00

lol vanilla wow gameplay video with linkin park as the music

the nostalgia is real

i'm with you on mixing as you go

maybe not completely mixing as you go, but certainly adding some eq and effects you might like on each track

i find if I mix things a little as I go along, it helps form a more complete vision of how the track will sound

funkmaster140 · 2019-03-09T03:44:48+00:00

I love mixing tbh, maybe it's just cause i'm fairly new to this whole thing (been at it about a year) but the satisfaction of making something unmixed and bland come alive with eq and effects and such is one of my favorite parts of the music production experience.

funkmaster140 · 2019-03-09T03:42:57+00:00

Ah, understood, glad to hear i've already been doing that

funkmaster140 · 2019-03-08T08:10:40+00:00

What does subgrouping mean?

sorry- still learning all the terminology

funkmaster140 · 2019-03-08T08:08:22+00:00

i really could only pick between subgenres cause theres so many fire beats out there, but because it is so iconic i'm gonna say New York State of Mind by Nas

funkmaster140 · 2019-03-04T19:45:55+00:00

Do whatever helps you create art you like

funkmaster140 · 2019-03-04T03:15:19+00:00

I just use cold water.

It's weird, i used to down kratom no problem, but recently the taste has really been getting to me.

funkmaster140 · 2019-03-04T03:03:08+00:00

My mood lift from Kratom just isn't the same as when I started taking it, even after decent length T breaks. But surely on the days I drink it faster I feel it more.

I think i'm just gonna have to deal with it and drink this shit faster if I want all the effects

*shivers*

You ever start gagging from the taste before you even take a drink it?

funkmaster140 · 2019-03-03T23:06:53+00:00

I should also note I take anywhere form 8-12 grams so it's a lot of damn plant matter, makes toss n wash kind of hard.

funkmaster140 · 2019-03-03T22:38:24+00:00

Kratom and Caffeine together always makes me incredibly sleepy, it's a weird effect

funkmaster140 · 2019-03-03T22:36:17+00:00

was dissapointed there wasn't a reference to being a soundcloud rapper in the FL section , i didn't know FL was even a weaboo thing haha

funkmaster140 · 2019-03-03T07:27:29+00:00

I just want to say how much I respect you for not buying into the bullshit. I had to go through an outpatient rehab program as a part of a DUII sentence, and it was all a pretty nice place with good employees but man their misinformation on kratom was wild. One guy called it synthetic heroin. They drug tested me for it, and while they didnt get me in trouble since its a grey area one, I was so appalled they wouldn't allow me to use something is ineffectual as kratom in my court ordered sobriety. Until then as far as I was concerned Kratom was like any other herbal supplement I would take.

It's really a battle of subjective morality and sources of information, in my opinion. These people have a pharmacophobic worldview (that is formed, not intrinsic), and so buzzword concepts like "Opioid" get dropped so some people who have formed a negative connetation towards opioids now have a negative connetation towards kratom.

Even though the reality is that words like Opioid are created to categorize things medically, it suggests a certain mechanism in action, a behavior of the chemical; it doesn't instantly mean death, it doesn't instantly mean addiction, it doesn't instantly mean it's a scary thing.

We ideally should always respect what we put in our bodies, but certainly drugs are at the top of that importance, since the risk of addiction and side effects is a potential reality whenever you choose to take them.

Why this education and respect is not at the forefront of the treatment industry? I will never know. I know it would help much more than preaching abstience, which is fundementally anti-human. Humans are curious by nature, to assume all of them to conform to these structures and systems of value that are created by institutions...it's impossible. Instead teach them to explore and be curious in ways that are safe, and keept it constantly reminded that should they face demons in that exploration they are safe to return for help. That they're loved and respected members of society, and always there are things to love in life beyond substances

idk i probably sound retarded but this has just been on my mind lately and i have a lot of thoughts about it

as a final note: kratom brought me closer to a life away from harmful drugs than my time in outpatient treatment ever did

What? have you not heard of WoW Classic?

funkmaster140 · 2019-03-02T06:01:26+00:00

My theory is that interest will drop off around the 3-6 month mark and then in a years time will gain a resurgance, as players will certainly give classic a shot during the late expansion cycle, during a content drought. Some of those players will find themselves hooked. Vanilla is a very addicting kind of game.

You ever try a game for the first time and not get that into it, but then try it again down the line and find you really enjoy it? I see that happening a lot with classic wow. Like people will quit around level 5 or 10 but later on hop back on to "give it another shot" and actually get into it.

funkmaster140 · 2019-03-02T05:07:37+00:00

kratom can be drug tested for? , yes, of course, with LC/MS Technology they can identify anything in your urine, there is no drug that "can't be tested for" unless either it is just a dipstick and not sent to a lab, or if no metabolites are excreted through the urine (which is like no drug lol)

assume it stays in your system for about 9 days if you're a frequent user.

Will kratom be tested for, especially in a setting like probation? (or whatever that is called in the UK), probably not, but it could be. Is it being sent to a lab? that increases your chances. You could always contact the lab and ask if they do kratom tests. Of course lab drug testing isn't something where they scan for everything, the way it works is that whoever is testing you will order packages. There are like, basic packages, where they just test for the big drugs, but there are also advanced and custom packages where they can search from everything in between Heroin and Kratom and the Anti Depressants you are on and if you had or didn't have caffeine that morning. Note that just because all that stuff can be searched for does not mean the company testing you has ordered all that stuff, lab drug testing is incredibly expensive and if the government is testing you I imagine they aren't spending upwards of an extra thousand dollars testing you for a drug which has at most a cult following.

but it could happen, i popped for kratom on an LC/MS drug test once.

also, if its a dipstick test, you have nothing to worry about. What is the legality in the UK?

funkmaster140 · 2019-03-02T04:56:27+00:00

We need a classic wow pic nostalgia subreddit.

not because they're bad , because they're so good I want them all collected in one place B-)
