I only ran a couple loops of each before they cycle ended, but I think they are totally worth it.
Can’t really compare the two directly. Customs are amazing if well built or awful if the build is botched.
Name embedded majors are already tested and balanced.
Ah cheers, going back on forth on this as I’m trying to plan my next stack. Customs just give so much flexibility as well 
When in doubt, name embedded majors feel like the right choice. Customer are potentially way more powerful and effective, but easier to mess up lol.
Interesting cycle. Moving forward I have, at minimum, 4 more cycles on EoG ST1 + CN HIM
Stark Black is the rotation slot, (as mentioned above) so I’ll either run Stark Black all the way through (somewhat likely) or rotate it out for Alchemist Sage Immortal for this first phase of my journey.
I did the math last night and I have about 2 full years until I’m finished with my computer science degree. This is all good, but it means that my stacking needs to be tight, non-distracting, mission critical while promoting growth in the most important areas.
The first phase of this journey is all about physical shifting & financial healing with EoG ST1.
The second phase of the journey was originally going to be Dragon Reborn Red–the idea was to use it as a “mop” to come in and clear out all the garbage that hasn’t been addressed by CN HIM, Stark Black, and EoG ST1. However, phase 2 is subject to get pushed forward because school is the most mission critical thing right now.
Looking forward, phase 2 might actually be…
Stark Black/Alchemist Sage Immortal + EoG ST2 + Project Endgame v2 (not created yet). This would probably be the stack that I run for the remainder of the degree.
I’ve been looking at Index Gate, but something tells me it’s not the time to run it YET. Maybe in about 6 months when I start applying for internships. I still need to keep the focus on EoG ST1 so I can clear out the issues that have been holding me back for so long, and I have a sense that Index Gate will be too distracting for the first phase.
Classes starting up again soon, just a couple weeks now
Training
Did some kicks on the heavy bag after training, just to test my explosiveness and flexibility. Felt good.

Just sent off version 2 of CN Him, I kept it the same, just added functionality to make it a long term stand alone for school. I’m pretty pumped to test it out.
Cycle 2 will be CN Him V2, EoG ST1 Name Embedded & Alchemist Sage Immortal.

This will be my second cycle of this journey. I allowed my washout to extend pretty long. I started on the first with a loop of Stark Black, but I got a little overwhelmed and felt like I needed so extra rest.
Here goes.
Still going to move forward with the Stack A/Stack B strategy as I feel like that will make this whole project A LOT smoother.
The reason why I’m doing a second cycle of Stark Black now, instead of swapping over to Alchemist Sage Immortal, is because certain results from Stark Black have only JUST started to appear in my life.
So, after a long washout to let everything settle without any extra input from other subs, I crafted CN HIM V2, and decided to stick it out with Stark Black for another cycle or 2 before I rotate in Alchemist Sage Immortal.
It’s arrived today, just as I expected it too. So the cycle is off to a perfect start with no hiccups or stalls.
Ran both, CN HIM V2 hits pretty heavy. So I’m gonna watch myself today and see if I need to make any adjustments to the stack or the build.
Man, Code Name Him V2 hits like a fucking truck. Gonna try and plan to run it right before my workouts to release the energy.
Wanna rage. Feels good.
Okay, things are feeling pretty good. I REALLY like Code Name HIM V2

It hits like a truck, but it’s also dense as hell. Three cores, three synergy modules, and then filled to the max with useful modules. The early success of this custom, along with my growth, is causing me to rethink the custom building process a bit.
I’m already planning the next iteration, but I’m going to give CN HIM V2 at least 2- 4 cycles (counting this one) before I rotate out.
Most likely trajectory is 3-6 more cycles on the current stack.
It’s pretty interesting. Right after the last post, got hit with a massive wave of recon. Took me out for a few days. Been no listening for 5 days. In that time I’ve accomplished a few things, managed to keep creative output pretty high.
Will probably start back up again tomorrow. In stead of starting a new cycle or anything like that, I’m just gonna keep the count above and finish out the cycle without starting over.
Building my first PC in a couple days once the parts come in.
It’s pretty funny, I’ve always been too scared to build my own PC, but I’m literally saving 1500 dollars minimum on this build that should power everything I need to do for at least a few years with upgrades being pretty easy moving forward. Pretty excited about it.
