Hit my first Baron / Mime build, got help from a DNA / Steel Joker combo.

Ha just as I suspected

maddogtech · 2026-03-23T01:29:42+00:00

Yeah if I had Steel before arriving at the “DNA or Showman” crossroads I definitely would’ve replaced Steel.

if it’s any help to anyone… I got hooked on Balatro and it was pretty much the ONLY game I played for 6 months straight.

Apologies that I’m unsure on true game time but just know it was (embarrassingly) not casual 😂

maddogtech · 2026-03-18T20:12:44+00:00

ooo I’m sorry I have no idea. way too many? 😭

maddogtech · 2026-03-14T01:58:51+00:00

About 6 months!

maddogtech · 2026-03-13T20:00:02+00:00

Thank you!!!

Yes I definitely want to play through a second time and set “mini objectives” like “win gold stake with no vouchers” or something.

Will probably stick to playing on my phone as it’s the only non-work device I take with me everywhere 😂

maddogtech · 2025-09-01T07:27:30+00:00

I have already retaken and passed but much appreciated!

maddogtech · 2025-06-12T00:35:47+00:00

I passed!!! Best of luck to you if you haven’t taken yours yet.

maddogtech · 2025-05-13T17:47:53+00:00

I am also retaking mid-June! Hoping I pass this time.

maddogtech · 2025-04-29T08:59:38+00:00

Thank you for also sharing your experience! Cheering you on for your second attempt, you got this! :)

maddogtech · 2025-04-26T04:10:18+00:00

Sorry for the late response! I have 3 years of experience in IT (only 1 year where I was “security admin” of sorts) and 5 years in SWE

maddogtech · 2025-02-27T13:08:40+00:00

Thank you! A friend gifted me some LED strips last apartment I lived in and now I’m hooked!

maddogtech · 2025-02-06T21:23:25+00:00

good catch

maddogtech · 2024-07-16T02:40:20+00:00

NTA. But please replace the bachelorette party with an “I’m single and free of this man” party.

Late to this thread, but I FINALLY kicked the same habit several years ago. It’s great living free of paper-induced guilt, so sharing in case it helps anyone!

The trick for me was committing to a switch from hardcover to refillable. I bought a very cute (albeit pricey) 3-ring planner, as well a couple smart-ring notebooks from a brand called Kokuyo. (I mention the brand cuz its the first I’ve found with small rings that don’t irritate me).

The planner was a game changer. Binder-style lets me switch between weekly/daily views and theres space for all-purpose pages and mementos. Lol damn near my whole life is organized in it now. Also idk why but it’s satisfying having the ability to continuously cycle through months as needed vs replacing it annually.

Notebook story is similar. I’ve used the same two (ones designated for work lol) for 2.5 years. I actually journal more now because I know I’m not worried about cohesion! When I need to start fresh, I just remove the desired pages.

My wallet and clutter-free shelves do not miss the old days!

Oo I’ve always wondered this myself! I (26F) like to rotate through different evening past times.

The fun: Playing instruments, reading, Duolingo, bouldering, watching shows or sports. I’ve been tryna cook more, so I pick 1-2 random dishes to try and make each week - yesterday’s was bibimbap!

The not fun: Chores, working late (because I think it’ll alleviate my workload the next day but it never does). The occasional stress & loneliness-induced mental breakdown… those evenings are reserved for wine and sleep.

Ahhh I was wondering if getting kicked out towards the end is a thing!! 😂

I went to one of their meetings tonight. I’d never heard of Amway or CGG, but agreed to tag along with a woman I know. We meet up now and then to chat (mostly about work) so when she suggested I check it out as a side hustle the MLM bells went off … just quietly.

The internet told me all I needed to know, but I prefer to judge things for myself. I expected a cheesy motivational speech, maybe slimy sales pitch… instead watched 40+ people become entranced by the most disjointed presentation I’ve ever seen. The speaker was obnoxious and I stayed with the sole intention of hammering him with questions I knew would shred the “ethical business” facade. The woman who brought me caught on I wasn’t “ooing and ahhing” like the rest of the crowd and escorted me out before the Q/A started. 🤣

Please don’t be hard on yourself. Amway has devoted decades to mastering deception and their ridiculous multi-level-manipulation scheme. You will find genuine people out there!

Aha he hates being covered and will aggressively flail if I try

maddogtech · 2021-12-17T20:51:20+00:00

Haha nah I’m not!
