Journal: The Emperor's Relentless Pursuit

Thank you @Lion. My first NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) just arrived :smile:

Had to run 1 min of Emperor and 1 min of True Sell before the phone call (in washout).

Today had to refuse my first offer for an executive job. I don’t pursue the application process further. The role is way to much over my head (had to be careful not to be victim of the Dunning Kruger Effect) and the firm the position was offered for is known for a poor working environment (this of course I only found out after I signed a NDA). I don’t mind to go outside of my comfort zone, but this was to much and way above of my current skillset. It would have been a lose-lose situation (maybe better salary for me but risking my health in a toxic and highly political workplace).

My support question for my custom was answered realy quick and with a very kind message, it seemed to stem from a person who realy cared).

My first custom arrived yesterday. Exactly 70 hours after placing the order. Didn’t expect it so quick. Anyway will start listen to it earliest on Saturday. Are still in washout. Did a short “hear-in” to now how the standard build sounds without solace.

Start of new cycle. My new custom and DRR4.
Have no name for my custom yet. Althout the standard mask is not bad I regret a bit that I didn’t choose the solace option. Next time I buy a custom I will choose solace.

4rd day:
28.7.26: DRR4 (3min) forgot to run it yesterday in the evening. Listened to it today early in the morning.

Short recap of my experiences with Primal Romance. I first used it in fall 2024, when I had a really hard time with my wife.

As some of you guys recommended I started to listen to Primal Romance then. The results came fast:

Now, with Primal Romance in my vacation I could see the same results. The relationship got lighter, and my wife leaned more often in my frame.

Now my wife also bought Primal Romance and runs it for herself. The vibe in the relationship is good, not without a few little disagreements, but as I said, much lighter. Our not-so-good bonding types ease their grip. It feels good.

For now I forgo Emperor, which is the most effective and best sub for me. I don’t want to overdo it with my new custom (there’s StarkQ in there) and DDR4 at the same time. Next cycle I will add Emperor back to the mix. I just feel so good and strong on it.

True Sell in my custom is also very powerful for me. I noticed it also the few times I run it solo. Normally I have problems when I talk because I think to much in the background. But with True Sell I’m turning into a chatterbox :grinning: It’s such a good feeling. I just have to watch out that I’m not goint to turn into a boring or annoying chatterbox :sweat_smile:

5th day:
29.7.26: DRR4 (3min)

7th day:
31.7.26: Custom (5min)
31.7.26: DRR4 (5min)

On the 7th day I started to listen to both of the titles at the same day. No recon.

9th day:
2.8.26: Custom (7min)
2.8.26: DRR4 (7min)

Still no recon. Both titles run smoothly, even with the new dense custom. I had a good day today.

DRR is making me aware of things I’d never really recognized before. It’s highlighting some of my weak spots and showing me how to work toward better outcomes.

To give an example: I tend to engage in avoidance behavior. When I give in to it and avoid things, I end up feeling terrible. I never really connected the dots before. I knew the behavior wasn’t healthy, but I never fully acknowledged the impact it was having on my psyche. Yesterday, I became fully aware of it, and today I was able to keep my promises, simply because I knew I would feel terrible if I didn’t. So, I pushed through and did what I needed to do. Hopefully, I can sustain this behavior and build a good habit out of it.

11th day:
4.8.26: Custom (10min)
4.8.26: DRR4 (10min)

This week I was able to beat my procrastination at work. The kind of setup I have in my working environment makes it very easy for my to procrastinate. This week was different.

As I said above, I recognized my procrastination at work as a huge driver for depressive and self-diminishing thoughts. So I stopped. The first 3 days went as expected. The thought, “If I do it, I will feel terrible” sets free a lot of energy that gives me the ability to not do it (procrastinate). Two more days and I’ll have a successful week.

13th day:
6.8.26: Custom (full)
6.8.26: DRR4 (full)

Increased yesterday to the full loop of both titles. No recon till now.

15th day:
8.8.26: Custom (full)
8.8.26: DRR4 (full)

My wife, who also runs Primal Romance, was not very fond of the lascivious women on the cover image of the title. She asked if it was really intended for women too, or only for men. Since it’s nice to have an image on the phone while the app is running and for easier navigation, and since she really disliked the image, I turned to Gemini and had it produce a gender-neutral image of the title. I just wanted to share this because I think some title images that have “Gender: Any” in the description lean heavily toward appealing to a male customer base and could be more neutral.

Gemini came up with two images I liked. One really gender neutral (two hands) and one suited for both men and women. She went with the one that shows the couple.


Forgot to run the subs yesterday.

Time for washout.

Today I started my new cycle. It will be my Custom (StarkQ and True Sell), DRR4 and Emperor.

1st day:
20.8.26: StarkQ/True Sell Custom (full)

Decided against Empero in this cycle. My custom and DRR4 are a smooth run, and I would rather not disrupt that. The status boost from Emperor is not necessary now. I think StarkQ covers it well.

DRR4 makes me draw nice and clear boundaries. In the last few years I heard the saying “You will be treated the way you accept” sometimes, and DRR4 makes it possible to push back if my boundaries are overstepped.

3rd day:
22.8.26: StarkQ/True Sell Custom (full)
22.8.26: DRR4 (full)

5th day:
24.8.26: StarkQ/True Sell Custom (full)
24.8.26: DRR4 (full)

StarkQ?

It’s just stark ZP

StarkQ was the release name for it

How’s this custom working for you?
