Main Disc. Thread -- A Stark Black Reality (Now Available!)

Is there demand got a version of ASBR without the fame scripting? This would easy to achieve, but I’d most likely release it as an experimental, meaning we wouldn’t claim the obligation of constantly updating it.

It’d be similar to Nouveau RICH, but with some rather nuanced differences that express completely different.

What would these different expressions be?

I’m in the middle of my second round, I still have to see the fame script express itself and when it does, I would need to see that it has a detrimental effect on me. I also had fame-related concerns at the beginning because I’m very protective of my privacy but so far there’s nothing to report.

I was a bit worried about the fame, too, but the scripting helped me through it. I had a moment of reflection in my second week when I realized that I’ve been standing out hardcore since I came to this country :laughing: When I go to new places, people stare. If I visit a shop more than once they always remember me. etc. etc. It’s not status-based fame but I haven’t been part of the crowd in five years.

And I’m fine.

SB is the closest I’ve come to finding the perfect all-rounder. I can get learning benefits, drive, an edge, some wealth scripting, and some romance scripting running in the background to kill my FOMO. I got a much-needed push to finally start engaging with some online communities (and I got a LOT of responses), start a blog, and I’m going to start a YT channel when some equipment comes in. I don’t actually know about monetization, but I’ve identified a real mission that synergizes quite well with stuff I’m already doing in my daily life. In terms of overall results I’ve been quite happy with Stark Black.

But there’s something about it that winds my brain and my sexual energy up too much. I tried micro loops, I tried pairing it with the new Sanguine (which is an amazing sub) – doesn’t matter. It destabilizes me completely. Big things are that I can’t sleep, my mind refuses to rest, and my sexual energy feels like it’s trying to force its way out of me. It’s a stark contrast to when I was running only QL + KB. I don’t feel like I have any sort of control over myself or my day, even. I feel like I’m chasing something that hasn’t even started.

There is a discussion about ADHD on the forum, and some posts by @Simon gave me some insight as to what might be happening.

I’m stopping SB for now but will keep following any developments and everyone’s progress in this thread. :sob: Really curious to see how @TheEmpress 's journey continues with the progress on YT, too. Seems really really good.

Getting the most out of your team seems like a Chosen job, no?

How’s your sleep?

It was a bit rough but it’s better now! I’m in wash out though.

Edit: I woke up in middle of the night once or twice sometimes, which is odd for me these days.

Whatever worked with QL, should work with SB also.

Stages matter with KB. Before you stop the SB momentum completely, test a cycle with KB1 or KB4. Not 2 or 3.

Another way would be to calibrate your SB playing durations or number of off days.

Don’t drop the sub that you respond so well to.

:+1:t2:

Sanguine is optional. I promote it because expecting ADHDers to follow a multi-stage KB journey all the way … is expecting too much.

:sweat_smile:

In this instance I view my marketing team as a pathway to wealth.

I want their efforts to bring maximum monetary results.

This is probly not necessary.
If u don’t want a blast of fame, just run starkblack AFTER u come back from going out. :thinking: :thinking:
That way u dont get the acute effects, yet always have that slight aura of fame (from the sub’s processing) which is always helpful in social interactions.

That wouldn’t really work.

When running SB, people can (and will) hit you up through DMs, calls and emails.

Timing it so that you only run it when you don’t plan to go out would also be a pain and it assumes the subs only have a very short-term effect, which it doesn’t.

I think Stark without fame doesn’t make sense too, you will have this innovative ideas that would change the world and take them to the grave? Imagine Stark building the Iron Man suit and just use it for mundane stuff.
Just stack R.I.C.H and Limitless and you are good to go.

So, what’s wrong wid that? U don’t like getting opportunities? :slight_smile:

Short term effect are the most intense. When the sub is processing (like the next day after u run the sub), the aura of fame isn’t so intense/magnetic.
All this is my opinion, ofc. If u think my logic is flawed, feel free to critique it.

Naah… You don’t need the masses to know you for you to be able to change things.

I might be in the minority, but I run the chosen title for years. If there is a compounding effect, it will be way more powerful. IF there is one.

It does compound over time.
I think the main thing we r butting heads on is:

U think fame has more downsides to upsides.

I think SB’s fame is just the ability to influence at a mass scale.

Which means u can control it. If u dont want ur face to be known to millions, u can just not show ur face in the camera (while having ur ideas/products/services impacting millions). Fame in SB’s context is just power. Wielded by u. Why are u so opposed to wielding power? :slight_smile:

What do u think, sir @Hoppa?

You make one I want to test it. I love my current stack but would change it only to add then since it seems that the updated EOG is going to be a bit. I don’t mean to sound passive aggressive saying that it’s just accepting the situation. I’m not a big fan of being popular but I see the point of it as well as Market Disruption and Innovation. Mankind has come so far so fast. It was something like 63 years between the Wright Brothers and the Moon Landing. That’s crazy to think about.

I was just talking to my Wife about having issues with change and missing how things were at times. I live in Minnesota and back in the early 90s I would occasionally frequent the Eden Prarie Mall a couple of years prior to Mallrats being filmed there . To me the mall will always be how it was in Mallrats. You go there now and it’s like they put a completely different mall there. The layout and everything. It’s just weird and crazy to see how much things change and how fast. At times it feels like everything is accelerating at an unstoppable pace
Then again maybe it’s just me feeling super existential.

Saint asked if there was demand for it, which there obviously is, as 60% of the people who voted in the poll are in favor of a version of ASBR without fame.

Whether or not you feel it’s necessary isn’t exactly relevant, as each person knows what is good for them and what they need out of their journey in life.

If someone wants the benefits of Stark Black without the fame, I say that is valid, and if Saint is considering making it, then that piece of the program is obviously not the most vital in making it work, as he would never do something like remove the love scripting from Love Bomb.
