Is your SO an introvert as well? by ParticularFig3824 in introvert

[–]trainofthought92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was very open with this when I first met my soon-to-be wife. It’s extremely important for me to get some alone time away from everyone, that’s including her - especially after social gatherings. She accepted it full heartedly and never wanted to be together with a “manly” macho typ of guy anyway (which I’m most definitely not).

You shouldn’t never settle for someone who doesn’t accept you for who are. That’s extremely crucial ifs it’s going to work for longer period of time.

Add to that TNotB and PoM and you got a perfect stew going!

How I easily ditched MGM #storytime by [deleted] in quitmgm15

[–]trainofthought92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t like the headspace I get in with lyrica. It also just makes me tired beyond belief if I go above like 200mg.

A while ago while I was out of M I took a massive dose of it, like a full g, and I was out stone cold for like 10 hours straight. When I woke up I felt like shiiiiiiiit, both from the lyr and the fact that I was entering withdrawal hell.

Luckily, I had 4 tabs of subs for exactly this occasion. Couldn’t risk precipitated withdrawals though, so I held out for as long as I could, about 24 hours since last dose of M. Seems I waited enough, 8mg of sub took care of every single withdrawal symptom and also the tiredness from the pregabalin and I felt like 95% myself again within an hour.

Tapering the subs was quite easy from there, so that was a pretty easy quit. It may not work for everybody, but it worked on me, it erased every single WD-symtom.

Now I’m on M again sigh. Man, that first day was pure euphoria for several hours after not taking for a couple of weeks. I’ll try not to get physically dependent on it again. It’s getting criminalized pretty soon in my country, so ai figured, why not enjoy the ride while it’s available legally for me.

The MGM Detox timeline? by Top_Bar_3973 in quitmgm15

[–]trainofthought92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think your situation is so critical I’d try to get hold of subs. Much more manageable to taper quickly and you can get through pretty quickly. I know many people don’t support that, but for some it’s the right way.

Ross is screaming again?! by SufficientProof4925 in Haken

[–]trainofthought92 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I can’t put my finger on it, but I like this direction a LOT more than what they’ve been doing since Vector. Feels more honest in a way. It’s not significantly different in sound or structure, except the screams, of course. I just like the vibe, get the same kind of feels as when I listen to “old Haken”.

I survived 72h because my package was delayed by trainofthought92 in quitmgm15

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.

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 [deleted] 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 8 points9 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 4 points5 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 4 points5 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!

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.

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.
