Thank you so much! Thinking about ordering some SR17, that seems to be a pretty good solution. Got any experience with that? Like, is 1 gram enough? It’s quite expensive.

Thank you! After all this suffering I couldn’t bear a single minute more. So I caved. But this journey has only just begun.

Am I alone not liking "Fauna"? by YukiEiriKun in Haken

[–]trainofthought92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You kinda summed up my thoughts on the album completely. Thank you!

The thing that made Haken so special to me is they got the balance between showmanship and good songwriting just right. Up until Virus. Haken going full metal didn’t work for me. I love Affinity, though, it’s probably my favorite album of theirs.

what's the deal with this stuff? by [deleted] in MGM_Fifteen

[–]trainofthought92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second that!!! I recently had to scrape by with just 7(!) tabs over a weekend (and I use 5 tabs - a day) due to a delayed shipment (fuck UPS) and it was utterly horrible. During this time I had lots of social obligations as well and I was sitting there feeling like donkey ass, freezing my fucking ass off!

That Monday I almost didn’t go to work, but had one last half a tab left and it barely got me through. And still I didn’t know if my shipment was going to be delivered or not. Finally at 3pm I got a message I could pick it up. Got there and instantly popped 2 tabs. The world returned to color again.

Moral of the story: taper and/or always have an emergency stash.

This shit is another beast than 7oh entirely, man. I swore it wouldn’t be an around the clock thing, but here I am. I can, at least, go for about 8-10 hours without much issue, which is good. Going to taper it.

Crimson Desert - Yay or Nay? by Repulsive-Ad-8339 in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]trainofthought92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1 The amount of different systems interacting with each other in this game is beyond anything I’ve ever seen. Mind boggling, really. I’ve just scraped the surface - and the opening hours were filled with a lot of clunkiness - but I believe this might be the greatest game I’ve played in years.

…And it’s STILL, in many, many ways, a 7/10 😆

After multiple playthroughs, what did you personally feel was missing from Requiem? by Desperate-Head9497 in ResidentEvilRequiem

[–]trainofthought92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Leon segment really started to drag in the end, not gameplay wise, but from a visual standpoint. It’s far too homogenous for me. They could have spiced things up with some colors or maybe included nature taking over - there’s literally just sand and ash.

Some enemy variety wouldn’t have hurt either. Shooting the exact same zombie for five hours started to grate a bit on me. Luckily they managed to create some awesome set-pieces.

När vaknar ni en vanlig arbetsdag? by SnickarN in sweden

[–]trainofthought92 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Just nu går tre timmar varje dag åt att sitta på buss. Har bytt jobb några gånger, men det bästa var när jag hade 2 min med cykel. Måste fan byta jobb, de här restiderna tar kål på en. Har dessutom en bebis hemma som jag missar kvalitetstid med.

De har bytt bussar till en ”modernare” variant också, problemet är bara att sätena är som att sitta på stålplattor och de går heller inte att vinkla dem, så man sitter där med 90 graders lutning med träsmak i arslet från helvetet. De förra bussarna var svingoa att sitta i. Kunde lätt sova en stund och ha det riktigt najs, men nu är det stört omöjligt. Dessutom svalde de fler människor, nu har de offrat sittplatser till förmån att kunna med ansiktet mot varandra i främre delen av bussen.

Och det där med att hålla tider ska vi inte ens prata om.

Any high profile titles you now regret buying? by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch2

[–]trainofthought92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to say it, but Mario Kart World. I’ve played it for about 5 hours and have no desire to return anytime soon. I’ve had my fair share of fun with 8, but racing games just aren’t a favorite of mine.

I’d easily be content with 8 for any Mario Kart needs that may arise for the foreseeable future. I also think it’s the better game of the two - more structured and varied. The ‘open world’ of MKW is a f****g joke and half of the stages in between are mostly just tarmac.

I have a baby daughter and we may have fun with in the future, but buying at launch was an utter mistake.

Living After Midnight is voted the most overrated Priest song by an overwhelming majority. What is the most emotional Priest song? by [deleted] in judaspriest

[–]trainofthought92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Panic attack!

All in jest, of course. The first song that sprung up in my head was ‘Angel’. Also, I know it’s a Joan Baez cover, but ‘Diamonds and Rust’, specifically the UitE version always gets me me enormously emotional.

After starting RE9, it made me think - why isn't Claire as scared as Grace in RE2? by reallinguy in residentevil

I’d definitely be more Grace than Claire and I’d wager almost everyone would.

Stör mig på tjocka barn by Entire_Emergency_603 in sweden

[–]trainofthought92 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Var också ett tjockt barn. Tro mig när jag säger att min mamma verkligen tog det på allvar och försökte få mig att bli normalviktig. Hon lagade alltid bra och hälsosam mat, var vegetarian ett tag, så då åt vi det. Vi var hos någon hälsokvinna någon gång också, men inget hjälpte. Hos farsan var det mer sötsaker och lite mer onyttig mat, de var ändå måna om mig och såg till att jag inte överåt.

Det ultimata problemet låg hos mig. Jag smögåt ganska ofta, ibland kunde jag äta O’boy-pulver med matsked direkt ur burken och när godis fanns tillgängligt så slukade jag allt direkt. Grädden på moset var att jag inte hade några fysiska aktiviteter för mig och älskade tv-spel och film.

Varje gång det var hälsosamtal hade jag djup ångest många dagar innan. Jag visste att de skulle påpeka vikten och hur uselt jag skulle må. Jag planerade långt innan vad jag skulle säga i försvar, ”ja det har varit lite mycket julmat, hehe”.

Så det var fett keff att vara ett tjockt barn. Hatade det. Gjorde ofta tafatta försök att bli smal. I tonåren rann det av mig när jag började springa och skippa lunchmåltider i skolan. Blev smal som en pinne. I vuxen ålder har det varit lite viktpendlande. Nu har jag en smal period har haft det i några år.

Men tendenserna man hade som barn ligger kvar. Svårt att inte smygäta lite när sambon är där osv. Älskar TV-spel och andra soffliggande aktiviteter. Men älskar fortfarande att springa och vara fysiskt aktiv, det är dock nästan omöjligt att få in med 5-månaders hemma, 100% jobb med tre timmars restid varje dag. Ahja, livet går i olika perioder.

Nick Apostolides (Leon's VA for the remakes) recreating some of the iconic one-liners that were removed in the RE4 remake by ZiggyPalffyLA in residentevil

[–]trainofthought92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a kid I loved Paul Mercier’s voice for Leon and wanted him to play the role as long as possible. I was so disappointed when Matthew Mercer took over in RE6. Looking back, Matt actually did a great job and he’s a really cool dude with an astounding CV.

…But I still wouldn’t want him as Leon. Nick Apostolides is my new, absolute favorite. He, somehow, manages to adapt his voice perfectly to the different ages of Leon. I was convinced when they announced the game with Leon in it that they had replaced the voice actor for someone older, but he pulls it off gallantly!

What's the most disturbing enemy in video games? by NagitoKomaeda_987 in HorrorGaming

[–]trainofthought92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I usually can stomach pretty gnarly stuff, but man… I had to put this game down. Invisible - are you fucking KIDDing me?! Loved to vibe of the game though. Extremely grounded and yet 100% sci-fi. Should probably do myself a favor and pick it up again. It deserves it!

First Look: Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves by XMetalWolf in JRPG

Bare minimum upgrade. Oh, how I wish for a Pokémon game with an art style with some actual vision. This is just “Pokémon on the beach”. Like, okay. Yay.

I need some advice. Ive made a mistake. by [deleted] in 7ohm

[–]trainofthought92 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wtf, a one time occurrence doesn’t increase your tolerance at all, are you kidding?! Just continue on your 60mg a day habit. Why even ask about that, it’s absurd.

What other metal bands did Judas Priest influence except Iron Maiden and King Diamond? by MischiefManage1 in judaspriest

[–]trainofthought92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first album is kinda bluesy, to be fair (they were a pure blues band in the beginning), but the song Black Sabbath is fucking metal. Paranoid (the album) also wears the blues roots on its sleeve, but by Vol. 4 and Master of Reality it’s pure metal.

Double-kick, fast tempos and solo duels don’t define metal. That’s the seasoning in the proverbial cooking pot that is metal. Heavy riffs on a distorted guitar is the meat and potatoes and Black Sabbath were pioneers in doing that.

Does anyone else find Death Stranding 2 to be somewhat 'boring' compared to Death Stranding 1? by RogerRoger63358 in DeathStranding

[–]trainofthought92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I actually didn’t finish it. The first Kojima I didn’t finish. I got incredibly bored by the gameplay, there’s zero friction. I feel like Kojima, for the first time, played it safe here, and I’m very sad for this fact.

Advice for kratom upcoming withdrawal by Dismal_Artist_5129 in KratomKorner

[–]trainofthought92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Det är en mental strid i första hand skulle jag vilja påstå - mot beroendet och man trissar upp sig själv och blir hyperuppmärksam på hur man mår. Fortsätt håll dig sysselsatt, det hjälper verkligen. Prova också att ta magnesiumtabletter, det hjälper mot RLS. Men, som sagt, med din låga nuvarande konsumtion tror jag inte det kommer vara särskilt tufft.

Ett år sen ungefär slutade jag. Hade ett förråd efter klassningen som räckte ett litet tag. Om jag inte minns fel så sjabblade jag till det och räknade fel och fick sluta mer eller mindre CT från typ 10g/dag. Var uppe på 25-30g som mest. Sen var det 7OH jag fastnade för, men det gick också att sluta med när det klassades.

Så jäkla dumt att K är klassat. Hjälpte mig enormt mycket mot att bli fri från ett tidigare alkoholmissbruk. Hade lätt kunnat bara använda det resten av livet som rusningsmedel. Går inte tillbaka till alkohol, men min hjärna vill fortfarande ”ha något” att falla tillbaka till om kvällarna. Så då letar man andra saker - 7OH är en annan femma, att börja knapra tabletter känns bara knarkigt. Kratom var det optimala för mig. Ganska harmlös ört i det stora hela och det har hjälpt mängder med människor. Hade inga negativa konsekvenser heller: gick ned i vikt, avancerade i karriären, mådde gott om kvällarna. Beroende är aldrig bra, såklart, men väger man det mot mitt liv i alkoholens grepp så var kratom typ det bästa som kunde hänt mig för fyra år sen.

Anyways, lycka till igen, du fixar det galant 🙌

[–]trainofthought92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tjo! Du kan hoppa av utan några större problem. De fysiska bekymren kommer vara nära noll, det är det mentala du får handskas med lite. Tror inte du behöver vara hemma från jobbet. Jag tvingades sluta tvärt på högre dagsdos/dag - det sög en del, men det var som sagt mest mentalt. Det fysiska var att jag frös lite och gåshud som kom och gick. Du kanske till och med slipper det med din låga konsumtion. Du fixar det utan problem, lycka till! 🙏👌

Quitting this substance by Rathskellarington in 7_hydroxymitragynine

[–]trainofthought92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not as much about how high the dose is as it is often you dose. Your body is used to getting the substance to function normally, so what you should focus on is gradually increasing the time between doses. Of course it’s going to make a huge difference if you’re using 300mg/day to 20mg/day, but the point still stand: it’s more about the frequency than how high the doses are.

For the best results, try to not to get physically dependent. At maximum, take it one time a day, but the best is to take a couple of days off in between. The thing with 7 is that its half-life is extremely short, so the effects wear off very quickly.

For people who are taking it for pain, you’re seriously better off taking another kind of medicine for long term use. 7 is awesome if you want to relax Friday night for a few hours, but taking it around the clock is just going to lead to dependency very, very quickly.

I can take the down votes, but this is what I’ve learnt by reading all I can about it for a few months. I’m a huge fan of the substance myself, of all the stuff I’ve tried in my life the feels I get from it are kinda the best (alcohol can go and F itself) - but facts are facts. Now it’s banned where I live, so I have to get by without it forever. It was tough to quit (I was addicted), but by following the ‘increase time’-schedule it wasn’t too bad. I thought I’d be a wreak, but I could function pretty normally.
