The holistic approach of HERO is just damn sexy.
Really hope for a longevity, youth, fitness sub that includes Ikigai on the philosophical side.
Wow - Iām excited to check this out! Just looked into it !
Recon finally fading away and also, did a very protein rich meal lol, and after 30 mins or so, my energy levels were restored and was able to pull off my pending assignment!!!
The stack was definitely draining for me!

Hero is something elseā¦.it really has me questioning a lot of current situations in my life. Situations that I am holding onto for personal reasons, and Iām starting to question which ones I need to let go of, so I can do what is best for me, even if it means hurting others.

Ngl Iāve had the exact same experience today haha
Unfortunately, what Iām questioning is my relationship, and coupled with Stark core in my custom, I think I may have taken a bit too much action in just straight up being open about it all and thinking it out loud to my girl.
I understand she was probably hurt, but part of me feels like I need to be real with her, not just for me, but for her too, cause I realize that Iām not really a āPrince Charmingā or something of that sort, but more so a sinful addiction, and I guess thatās part of the reason why Hero keeps pushing me away from cores like WB and Khan, cause when Iām on those, I do become selfish with what I want and how I want it, and with the knowledge I have on creating customs + my flow factor, Iām kinda ashamed to admit that I used some customs to make her open up to trying out things she herself thought sheād never do.
Not saying that it wasnāt consensual or anything, but still, part of me doesnāt really feel that good about the things Iāve made her try by utilizing certain cores and/or modules, such as Direct Influencing Aura with Khan, or using True Sell when telling her about trying out something new.
Maybe she really did wanna do all those things and I just helped her open up, or maybe I just took advantage of her love and used subs to influence her more than she realizes.

Damn dude, that Hero introspection really ran deep into you.
IMHO you having that talk with your girl was the right thing to do, and seeing your posts over the 1.5ish I have been here, I know youāre a smart enough person to feel the way you feel, with good reason. I am happy for you in regards of seeing that within yourself though, it shows that you are an altruistic and honorable person when it is needed. I hope the best for you two.
In my situation I am torn between my work ethic and doing what is best for me. Basically I can leave my current job now for my better job. Thing is is that I want to complete my two weeks (work ethic) but they genuinely treat us like shit here lol plus they lied to me about a shift differential pay and Iām half tempted to leave today tbh (whatās best for me) and I am just torn between it, even though I feel like I do know what I need to do. I know this seems small to others but to me this is actually bothering more than it should 
Tbh I have felt the same way with Khan since starting Hero. WB not so much tbh Hero is what inspired me to make the B.o.A custom that I posted in the WB thread, that said I feel like with B.o.A and Hero, Khan is a little redundant. I feel like I could just switch to Emperor, Stark, or GLM and still get amazing results with the stack without the huge focus on sex and romance.

With the high amount of free will and consent scripting in all titles, it was definitely her choice to engage with you in such acts. The scripting specifically kicks in if the individual consents both subconsciously and consciously.
That being said, HERO Origins will help you generate a VERY STRONG desire for bold, alpha moral perfection (which ironically will also increase attraction).

I know you meant this for invictus, but this actually just helped me out a bit, thank you.

Damn I think Hero just kinda helped heal a part of my relationship with my father. I will state that we are on good terms.
Anyways to make a long story short my father was a military man. Marine, Marine Force Recon, Scout Sniper, Spec Ops. He did a lot.
Growing up he was hard on me and well while he wasnāt trying to turn me into a jarhead or anything he did teach me a lot of military traits. Leadership, getting the job done no matter what, protect the ones you love, giving every task your all, never giving up etc.
I was always hard headed cause I felt like he was trying to turn me into someone I wasnāt and as I have gotten older I realize he just wanted me to become the best version of myself.
I feel Hero is slowly awakening those traits in me each passing day, now as I am sitting hear typing this out, I am actually thankful for the traits he put into meā¦.

Iām reconciling the other side of that spectrum.
I realize that Iāve been too nice, too giving to the world, never considering if the receiver deserved it, or could/would appreciate it.
What does it even mean to be a hero? How to judge whoās worth saving/helping?

The naĆÆvete filter we acquire as children and we must get rid of as adults or pay the price.
Applying the naĆÆvete filter and paying the price consciously and eagerly.
Oh, the whole world isā¦ Take a look at Jesus and alike.

Iām patiently waiting for HERO Origins: Renegade and the Shadow. A sub that would help me go through working with the shadow. Letās be fair and give some tools to the dark said as well. Shall we? 
For now the only alternative I see is running EB along with RM:UW X.

Ironically too, I woke up today feeling like I should break up with her because I donāt see myself as being the kind of guy that she should have, for her own sake.
So Iām gonna stop running the custom that has Hero Origins as a core, and instead just run the store version on the side as I was previously, as it never caused those issues, and built up on top of what I was trying to achieve, instead of taking over as the main archetype.
I want the hero characteristics, not the archetype
And as much as I dislike saying this, Iām not gelling well with the deeper aspects of it.

Hero and Khan update
Current thoughts : I am actually very surprised at how good this combination feels . Honesty and heroic courage are beginning to develop and both of those have led to very interesting realizations .
-
Since romance is an area of my life that has always been lacking I really began to look at what I was doing wrong . Lo and behold I realized that after high-school like 70 percent of the women I was into were into me without me being some uber charming giga Chad.
-
I never really venture out of my comfort zone consciously because I am terrified of failure and am scared of uncertainty.
-
Ive always questioned my intellect because I wasnāt particularly good at school but I realized that it doesnāt matter because it does not change the actions I have to take .
Now for the interesting stuff
-
Iām a lot kinder to my parents or at least am making a consistent effort into being kind
-
Iām not being as much of a judgemental asshole and am catching myself when i feel like being an ass .
-
I actually had a bonding moment with a friend from work and I was actually vulnerable in way I never would have thought Iād be .
-
Staying on a diet has become easier and I am actually thinking about how to really improve my diet for longevity and body recomposition.
-
My physical performance has skyrockected and its kind of freaking me out . I was able to do my 500 kettlebell swings in record time without my grip crapping out me and was able superset it with 250 pushups (broken up in sets of 5).I literally could not believe at how little rest I was taking in between sets .
-
I also want to focus more on my writing . Iāve always loved books and stories as a kid and at one point I wanted to be a novelist but I just never gave it much practice and left that in the past .
-
Mind muscle connection has improved immensely and this is a big one because I am very quad dominant and in the world of high level athletics its a decent detriment. Ive slowly shifted into being more glute dominant and my lower doesnāt actually do any of the work any more .
-
Everytime I try to skip training Iāll just start working out . I have a routine where Iāll throw on a boxing match while doing my swings instead of listening to music .
-
This is a weird one I kind of want to start playing basketball . I have never actually liked this sport past watching cool dunks but now I kinda want to play it .

Reminds of something I learned a while ago: if a man leaves because she deserves better, he sees it as a heroic sacrifice.
She sees it as cowardice.
Itās not on you to judge what man is best for her. This is her decision.
It seems like a bit of recon. Definitely wise to cut back on the custom for now.
The more I read on those introspective results Tue more I wanna run it. But mostly for the craft scripting.
