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.

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.

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.

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)

#169

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.

StarkQ?

#171

It’s just stark ZP

StarkQ was the release name for it

#172

How’s this custom working for you?

#173

Very nice and smooth for now. True Sell makes me tell more stories the overall feeling is light. It’s to short of time to tell the different modules appart. I feel more grounded and very reflective. But, maybe that is also an effect of DRR4.

It’s a bit confusing. On the cover it says StarkQ, but the title is StarkZP.

Absolutely not grounded today and yesterday evening. Feel and felt very angry. It’s toward my career, the choices I made and the employer who doesn’t reward properly. The anger results from a feeling of beeing stuck. So, need to unstuck :slight_smile:

How drr4 full loops treating you? What stage was the hardest?

#180

I’m angry a lot because I don’t tolerate the slightest shit or bad treatment. I’m very sensitive and very lucid about my emotional state. It’s also dangerous to my status quo because I question a lot. This dissent also fuels some angryness in me.

I got the most recon on stage 1. Next cycle I’ll start my second run of Dragon Reborn. I will start with DRR1 full loops and will progress the second time through all stages all full loop.
