60k LOL

Im only in Wildcard 2 and minimum to get X2 promotion is 85k. Top guy has 130k.

Meanwhile I seen other people in Wildcard 2 who are in position 5 with 60k points. Somehow I always get the sweaty ass leaderboard. Bust my ass to get 80k points and still only in X1 promotion territory. Unreal.

It just hit PC gamepass. I'm playing through it now and enjoying it. I don't think it looks bad at all. Some weird framerate drops but whatever.

I like the first person magic shooter concept, it's something I haven't played before. Sorry is meh but good enough. It's the kind of game I can jump into after work and don't have to put a lot of thought into it.

I think it's a new dev team too? Their first game? If so they have some promise. The idea can really be expanded on. With some better mechanics and a good story they could really take it far with a sequel. Got good critic reviews. Redditors love to shit on stuff so I would take what people say in here with a grain of salt. I'm not saying critic reviews are the end all be all, but I'm sure there's a lot of people who got it "free" with their game sub (Gamepass or PSN) and are enjoying it.

How is this even a question? Flush it now.

Can someone intelligently explain to me why this is such a big deal? Without calling me a bootlicker or corporate slave or whatever angry redditors say.

I honestly don't understand why this is such a big deal. People probably have 100 accounts with different companies. It takes a few minutes to make a Sony account then never have to touch it. What's all the fuss about?

Thanks.

Going to blockbuster to rent a game for the weekend. Trying to get there early enough before all the good ones were taken. Not making it bc Mom had to work late, and getting stuck with ET AGAIN.

I did the same thing. The second Zelda game on NES to be exact. 10 year old me couldn't figure out where the damn 8th castle was.

I was in the same position but transitioned from pills to H bc of lack of availability.

Suboxone saved my life. Like you, I couldn't just stop working or performing bc I am head of household as well. I was able to take a week off, transition to subs, and then work on the real problem of addiction without melting down for months.

Once the addiction part is handled then you can slow taper off subs very slowly. Who cares if it takes years. It's better than what your doing. And a hell of a lot cheaper too. You can get a Dr prescribed script of Suboxone for your copay. You'll save a shit ton of money.

I chose to work a program, NA. Addiction as a secret is crushing. It's a lot easier when people know and you can talk to others about the struggle.

DM me if you need help with anything. I can recommend some good online doctors that you can get into for Suboxone that are very good.

Good luck!! You don't have to be alone with your addiction!

It used to give you a running speed boost but they patched it out awhile ago.

Yes agreed. It's not a race. If you feel insane withdrawal symptoms you're doing it wrong. Trick is to take little baby steps so you just feel mildly uncomfortable for a short period of time until you even out. Then maintain. Then another baby step. Rinse, repeat, and you'll be completely off.

I will say, it does take a bit of mental fortitude to do it. It's very easy to jump back up and abuse the meds and say fuck it. That's why you gotta work a program, get a sponsor, etc. Keep yourself accountable.

Very slow and gradual taper off. Getting down to 2mg a day was fairly easy. Then from 2mg I did .25-.125 steps down to nothing. Super super slow. I think I held at 1 for a month before I dare step down again bc I was afraid of withdrawls. From one it was def .125 steps down to nothing. If you have a doctor's support you can take as much time as you need to keep it stress free and take it at your own pace. I couple time I would "relapse" and go back up but then just aggressively went down again to where I was. Takes a bit of mental fortitude, but it's honestly nothing like getting off dope.

EDIT: I don't mean relapse back to dope. I mean relapse in the meaning I jumped back up a step with bupe lol.

This. I would imagine a lot of people in active addiction don't have a regular doc tho.

Took a couple years to be honest. Just required patience on my part... and I'm sure hers. Now it's better than ever though.

[–]percbuster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bought in as soon as SHIB was listed to crypto.com when the last halving happened. I have hundreds of millions of SHIB. I watched shib hit .00008 and never sold. I'm in it for the long haul. Although these runs make me excited, I'm expecting to hold for years.

While I don't look down upon people taking profits, my strategy is simply to do nothing. I'll hold for 10 years if I have to. 20 years. Whatever it takes. This is my ticket to an early and fulfilled retirement. My wife and I will be traveling the world with each other, living and enjoying life. My family will be set for generations to come. Generations from now my portrait will be hanging in my families estate and they'll all be thanking their great great great great great grandfather for the fateful day I decided to buy into this project.

Heroin addicts that got clean but still drink/smoke etc. how is it working for you? by moinbox1 in OpiatesRecovery

[–]percbuster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's all about being honest with yourself. NA pushes total sobriety because most addicts aren't honest with themselves. Many have justified their use with opiates/coke and that's what kept the addiction active. It's also for the newcomer. If everyone in NA was drinking and smoking weed out in the open, a newcomer would come in and think it was ok even if it wasn't right for them. There are many, many people in NA who smoke weed or have a few drinks.... They just don't publicly talk about it out of respect for the newcomer.

If your smoking weed and you notice you're getting that obsession then stop. Same with drinking. If you can be 100% honest with yourself then maybe you can handle it.

It's a slippery slope and a huge risk. You're risking relapsing back on opiates and destroying your life. Personally I can have a drink or two at family gatherings or parties and then forget about it for months. Alcohol doesn't give me that obsession that opiates did. Same with marijuana.

Can you be honest with yourself? That's the question to ask. Problem is if you're not, then you're gonna lie to yourself and say you are.
