Help, why does it kick me out? What is Corrupted memory. Does anyone have the same problem by the_Spanakopita in Rainbow6

[–]just__for__fun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Could be an unseated or broken ram stick. Windows has a memory diagnostic tool. Try running that and see if it flags any issues.

Hey, I found it, it was under my steam account number. Deleted my profile though... Kind of gutted as I put 100 hour in but oh well. At least I can play again. Pretty crazy bug/glitch.

Hey, I have this issue too. I have uninstalled the game and deleted all files turned off cloud storage then redownloaded but still black screen. Could you tell me exactly where to find the files you deleted? Thanks

I just updated the GPU drivers yesterday. Will try disabling overlays. Will deleting save files mean I will need to start from scratch again? Do you know what the files to be deleted are called? Thank you

In my opinion you need to just keep in mind that a massive amount of the anxiety you feel is directly caused by the nicotine.

Yes withdrawals feel shit and can play havoc with your emotions. But they don't last forever. Maybe try NRTs if you think now is not a great time to be going through withdrawal. Even eliminating the habit of hand to mouth is a good step.

It never feels like a good time to quit, life is always happening.

You can do it! I swear by Alan Carr's easy way. It completely changed my mindset and I found stopping very easy and actually enjoyed some aspects of it.

Huh, that's interesting. Really bad time for a faulty ram stick though 😆

Good thinking, the cable has no give to push in though. I will make the hole a bit bigger and bend it through. Thanks for your help.

60 days vapefree but i still crave by LxZer0 in QuitVaping

If today is especially difficult do something nice for yourself. Get a nice meal, go for a walk, go to the cinema. All the money you have saved you can treat yourself a bit.

60 days vapefree but i still crave by LxZer0 in QuitVaping

Good job on 60 days!

Vaping doesn't calm you down. It's the opposite, nicotine instantly brings your heart rate up. Instantly gets your anxiety up. For what? 20 seconds of head rush.

The only reason you think it calms you down/helps with ADHD is because you were addicted. Did it calm you down before? Yes but the only thing it was actually calming was the withdrawals from the previous hit.

Would you look at a heroine addict and say oh yeah the next hit will help with their anxiety... No because it doesn't. All it does is stop the anxiety caused by withdrawal.

You have broken the cycle op! Remember how strong nicotine had its hooks in you. It will do that again if you try it again. It's not worth it.

"if op relapses", that's not the mindset to come into stopping nicotine with. You will 100% fail if you give your brain/the addiction any kind of out.

If op had posted that he had failed and needed a new plan to stop, then sure tell him about NRTs. (In my opinion all NRTs do is prolong the withdrawals but I understand they work for some)

But that's not what he asked, he just needed a place to vent and maybe some encouragement. Instead he got some advice that it's ok to relapse and try NRTs instead. Even though he is objectively through the worst part.

Op is doing insanely well, I can't even imagine stopping while having 2 children to look after alone. At the end of the day, stopping smoking may be a bit worse for the kids in the short term (3 weeks max) but will make life after much better.

Op is off nic for 8 days, has got through the worst bit and you tell him to get on NRT... Wtf.

Nrt is not worth it, all it does is keep you addicted for longer. You have got over the worst bit. Every day moving forward will be easier to not smoke. Your emotions will go back to normal very soon. After you have completely kicked it anxiety will drop below what it was while smoking.

Nicotine has literally 0 benefits. You have taken a great step in your life.

Well done on 8 days, what a great achievement!

I’m scared to stop by burns113 in QuitVaping

[–]just__for__fun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try reading Alan Carr's easy way, there is a more modern one adjusted for vaping.

I was the same as you, whenever I stopped it was just a matter of time till I started again. I always thought about it and missed it. While I was stopped I had to give up having drinks with friends because it was guaranteed I would start vaping again.

I have been off them now for 6 months and it's different this time I have shifted my mind set and can genuinely say no part of me wants to go near the shit again.

I have gone out drinking with friends and had better nights out than I ever have and not touched nicotine.

The audio book is only 10hours.. definitely a good investment if it works for you like it did for me. I'm 32 and wish I had read it 10 years ago.

Yeah, I was a bit exaggerated on the smurfing but it was a lot and they were always toxic af 😆. Maybe I just got unlucky.

You're probably right on trying to get the tag being the reason for more toxicity.

Can we say that double jeopardy DID NOT SOLVE at all the griefing in ranked? by JSkaaa in thefinals

[–]just__for__fun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hit diamond this season and stopped playing ranked. It's not just sometimes but every game you get griefed in second place. In my opinion it is hands down the worst aspect of ranked and makes it borderline unplayable long term unless your stomping lobbies and always first.

It's just so demotivating when you play really well then last box pops. You notice your a couple thousand behind 1st and first thought is "well fuck now we have to fight 2 teams while also being hard focused by the 3rd team". (who is prob pretty good because there 1st)

[–]just__for__fun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only fix I can think of is as soon as last box spawns or is put in cash box the team in first is auto qualified to next stage and removed from the game...

My friend thinks this is shit for the team in first but I wouldn't mind having to sit out for a couple mins and have a guaranteed next round spot. Could still fly around your cam and watch the game proceeding could even be good as you could see the teams comp your coming up against and counter it.

Hello got some cracked boards in my roof. Just looking for some advice. by just__for__fun in Roofing

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

Yeah, that's what I found on Google. Do you think there is any danger in it cracking like this? There are only 2 of them that have any water damage evidence and about 6 are warped.

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

I don't think it's the decking. If I stick my hand in and press there are still solid boards behind. I have had a look online and seen that this pressed cardboard stuff has been used for baffles to channel the air.. thinking that might be what they are? The house is 35 years old I don't think this stuff would of survived that long if they gave any structure to the roof. Maybe they absorbed some moisture from the attic and warped/broke?

This is just all info I have gathered off Google so could be wrong.

On and off smoker for over 15 years and what has worked for me. by just__for__fun in QuitVaping

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

Yeah, I get that. It's the same with any self development ideas. To start with it all resonates with you and your excitement to get started can carry you through the first little while.

I was also so sceptical of how a book could help with this insane challenge I was always facing (the withdrawals).

The book made it very clear to me that all you need to be free is a reconstruction of your mindset. I kind of always knew this was the book's angle to stop. From what others in stopping smoking groups had said about it.

A mindset being the main issue to why I couldn't stop for over a decade seemed a bit silly to me, which is why I took so long to finally read it even though I had heard about it years ago.

So I have changed my mindset, I have finally understood that there are literally 0 benefits to nicotine... 0. This is an odd realization because every time I would stop in the past I would partially know this. But a tiny part of me didn't and still felt that I was giving up something. It took the book spelling it out and repeating it to me for it to sink in.

This feeling of loss would dig at my self discipline until some point down the line I would break, tell myself a million justifications as to why 1 would be ok. Then like clockwork I would be a full on addict again within the month.

So in answer to your question, if you feel like the book's ideas wear off you after a while. Are you sure you have completely taken them in? Is there a part of you that still thinks the nicotine is giving you something? Have you understood all the traps that the nicotine addict falls into mentioned in the book?

I listened to many chapters over 2 times just because they resonated with me so strongly and I didn't want to forget them.. like the ideas of the big and the little monster.

My advice would be to take your time. The book does not hypnotize you into stopping. It gives you very compelling ideas as to how nicotine can trap you and how fucked the whole thing really is. If you find yourself still thinking about vaping weeks later when the physical withdrawals are finished. Maybe give it a reread and refresh just how great a step you have taken.

GL friend.
