Saint Sovereign's Journal (HERO Origins + Khan Black ST 4)

You manifested a truck load of free stuff. Quite out there.

But… I’ve got a surprise for owners of Libertine next week. :wink:

Now you have got me excited.

The more things than you realize thing always hurts. It never looks like a lot until it’s all crammed in a truck.

Ok, so everything’s packed. Tomorrow, I head over to the new place to unpack and start building.

I’m excited, but a bit nervous. This is the first time since childhood that I’ve actually lived in a house. I’m a proponent of minimalism and when I’m single, my living space is generally very spartan — just the essentials, with very little comforts. That being said, I am very “bougie,” as they say about where I live, so I’ve always lived in high end luxury apartments with doormen and valet service, etc.

With the ever present specter of COVID hanging over us, it made no sense to continue working out of a public office, so we’ve acquired a rather large home (around 3200 sqft in total), and began to convert half into the new office for SubClub and our future business ventures :wink:

We’re putting together the aforementioned creative studio, which was outfitted with top of the line acoustic treatment, courtesy of GIKAcoustics and the acoustician we hired. It has a traditional studio listening environment and a 5.1 surround sound setup. There’s also a professionally treated and isolated vocal booth.

We’ve also got a workshop area that I’m currently using to incubate my girlfriend’s company because “mo’ money, mo’ power.” We’ve got a gym area outfitted with some state of the art training equipment, including a Tempo (Tempo.fit — this thing is really cool), some smart heavy bags equipped with sensors that tracks how hard we it, and an area that allows us to fully use our VR devices for health and other applications, high end treadmills and free weights. I’m going to use this area to track the results of Project Hero later this year, and develop Qx next year.

Needless to say, we won’t get it all set up this week. The equipment from GIK won’t arrive until September, same with the Tempo and stuff. But, my workstation will be back up by Wednesday. Once everything’s ready, we’ll send out pics.

Also, the space is not perfect. The studio has some annoying window spacing that makes it hard to place the treatment, but the acoustician has a cool work around in the form of some soundproofing curtains and placing some of the acoustic treatment on stands.

So yeah, stay tuned.

@King - As far as I know, am guessing it’s an update of the Serum X module. Maybe much more in terms of physical transformation

So perhaps by running it for one loop, Clark Kent can instantly turn into Superman?

Excellent!

That sounds literally like the mansion of Iron Man in the movies! GG, you guys well deserved it.

I would love to see some pictures of the house later, are you planning to share some?

That sounds interesting. Can you elaborate here pls?

Is the surprise still on track for this week?

Yep. Taking a break from the studio today to work on it. It’s been a lot of hard work preparing everything, and we still have to take another 3 hour trip to the old place to finish grabbing everything and cleaning it up.

Sounds like its a lot of work to move all the stuff around but when you need to upgrade you need to upgrade

I take it you are in the states then sovereign?

Update:

Music studio / office is coming along nicely. I’ve got the basic design down. Ended up going a bit more minimalistic than I anticipated. I originally had these beautiful lanterns to hang, inspired by this scene from “The Fountain” by Darren Aronofsky, but I ended up getting this really cool “death star” looking chandelier from IKEA, which doesn’t match the lanterns. So, the lanterns are probably going to go in our gaming / home theater area and I’m going to find some that are a bit more “sleek” for the studio.

The chandelier (not the studio, this is a google image search):

Also, later today, I’ll start trying to catch up on the messages every sent, as well as support messages. Thanks for being patient!

Saint, looks like you have been running Sultan in your custom stack. The word “opulence” comes to my mind…

This guy hooked his chandelier to a remote:

This was a clusterfuck of a weekend. Before anyone asks, yes – the surprise is coming (spoiler: it’s a new experimental aura). Most likely today, at some point. I would’ve had it done earlier, but the universe was conspiring against me. When situations like this occur, I try to see the good in it, that maybe I actually manifested the outcome that keeps me alive. So, I’m going to go with that and thank the universe for the things I don’t know.

That being said… wow, that a cluster, hahahaha. What was supposed to be a half-day “finish up the move” thing turned into an all weekend issue. My project car, a beautiful older sports car, decided to crap out and wouldn’t start (after we drove three hours to get it). It’s probably just the starter, but the issue was the fact that we were going to pick up our other cars, as well as finish moving everything out of the apartment, and we needed the space in that one to move everything. Since we had less space, we REALLLLY had to cram the moving truck to it’s absolute limits, then spend a few hours safely tying everything down.

We literally JUST got back to the new place. That being said, the studio is absolutely beautiful, and as soon as I clean everything up, I’ll post pictures of Stage 1. We’re still waiting for the acoustic treatment (September 9th) and the giant “Subliminal Club” canvas I ordered. Also waiting for the supplies I need to stealth all the cables and cords and the such.

That being said, I’m back at it. I’ll catch up on all PMs and support messages tomorrow, as well as spending pretty much the entire day clearing out the Q backlog. Those of you who ordered Express and we missed the deadline, you’ll get your refunds on that part soon.

Is this a new product or will it be free upgrade for libertine owners?
