I might upgrade all 4 subs to the name embed format instead of making customs.

What i feel lacking in UWX, HeO, LE & DRR1 is social skill & a tad bit of wealth generation.
Other than that, everything is already there.

I can easily solve that with 4 extra modules.

HeO + Synergy: Primordial Aura
LE + Synergy: Tale of the Dragon / Rembrandt
DRR1 + Synergy: The Golden One
UWX + Rembrandt / UA + Synergy: Words Untold / RM:V + Synergy: Tale of the Dragon

The price is almost the same as just getting 2 customs, but i want to confirm the 4 months theory i wrote above.

The only problem now, none of those are updated yet besides DRR1.
That means paying for them again when the update comes.
I’m not that hungry for the social boost to do that.
I’ll wait until ZPU, since they said they’ll focus less on upgrading after that point.

Honestly i might never even touch the q store at all.
The store version is just that good, it’s more than good enough for my needs.
It’s a good thing also that my goals are narrow.
A custom would have been nice, but it will be just that, “nice to have”. The store majors deliver most of what i need.

And there’s that, another rambling about a plan that won’t see the light of day.
HeO + Synergy: Primordial Aura sounds cool though. HeO is all about cultivating what’s inside. The module modify it so it also shows outwardly. I might make this one to add a celebratory aspect to HeO, just like DRG4.

True social and executive are coming out soon, that’ll help.

Most likely, a module or two that is mined from true social will get launched as well.

So if you do end up liking the executive, I could see that being the name embed, alongside a module from TS

Tldr: train by moving slowly to realize what you do wrong when you move quickly.

This is the basic of building a good form in bodybuilding. Why didn’t I connect it with sword training? Is it the best approach for martial art? Idk, but it’s worth exploring.

#1214

From fencing to dancing this is true. Interestingly they are very closely related.
To even understand I sometimes watched videos on 10% speed and it was still hard.
For getting a feel for the move within your body it’s the same. Go slow, go pro.

There are so many nuances. Sometimes just moving your elbow an inch or turning your knee about 15° is the difference between making a move work or not.

Speaking of this. Even in playing piano I noticed that if I play it fast, it’s easy to make youristakes in a way that even you yourself can’t notice them anymore. But if you play slowly, you’ll definitely realize if you know what you’re doing or not.

So… I might or might not have started HeO earlier than I planned :upside_down_face:

Well, it’s not like I’m being overwhelmed or overexposed in the first place, and everything follows the 12 day rule. But the plan to “stabilize the stack this month” is out of the window, rofl.

I’ll also reduce UWX’s exposure from 6 a month to only 4.
Honestly, the “manifestation to bring back things from my past” is getting annoying.
Not that I hate it, it’s just that I don’t understand why UWX manifested these things.

To make it easier to explain, the “nostalgia” manifestation is the same as the desc in this module.

Back then I used micro & short loops most of the time, so the effect was not as apparent.
But now I went straight to 15m. That was bound to increase the effect.
The manifestation was so strong that I couldn’t just look away.

Other than that, I got nothing bad from RM:UWX.
I was just annoyed about not knowing what to do with these manifestations.

So I thought, instead of microlooping, why don’t I just decrease the exposure frequency so I can give more to HeO & DRR1? I just need a slight push from RM:UWX anyway.

#1216

A while ago I wrote “HeO’s productivity is indirect”.

Scratch that, HeO felt so natural back then that I didn’t notice how direct it was until I used it again recently. It was just so smooth that I took it for granted and thought HeO was indirect.
Even daily meditation, frequent journaling, deep introspections etc did not help to make me aware.

This is why a break is important.

Running it straight for 12 cycles wasn’t the right move and I should have listened to my intuition back then to stop it for a month or more.

I accidentally listened to the exp RM:V instead of RM:UWX.

That’s 4 subs in a cycle. This is not gonna end well.
I’ll take a 5 day washout immediately.

This is another case of why I suggested the “voiced name of the title before the sub plays”.

Perhaps this is for the better?
Sometimes it turned out that way when I accidentally listened to a sub.

Update 1:

Fuck I’m overexposed.

Thankfully the symptom is not a lethargy one, just my head feeling dense.
It’s a good thing that I use 11 on 4 off. Even now it’s still not as bad as the gradual overexposure symptoms when I listen to subs for 21 days.

Update 2:

Now that I’ve been using HeO for a week, I’m gaining more clarity about what part of productivity I lost when I stopped it, how it’s different from LE, and how much more I can do when actively using HeO.

I think my instinct was the one making me click the wrong sub earlier.
I was pushing it aside, but I know I was starting to build up recon from the “nostalgia” stuff.
The recon could have built up more if I had played RM:UWX instead.
Compared to a built up accumulated recon, momentary overexposure is better.
Or maybe I’m just overly positive. Well, even if it is, it’s not bad.

I’m gonna go forward using RM:UWX with the assumption that it utilises my past as a tool to build stories.

I was puzzled by how it didn’t only change my mind, it also manifested various things from/related to my past.

It was weird since the whole thing feels disconnected from writing itself.
It was acting separately from the rest of the sub, they didn’t mingle at all.

Then i did an introspection just now.
I realized i was too perplexed on the spectacle of the discrepancy that i neglected the obvious: trying to use the past as an inspiration to write with.

Not just doing it in passing, but I gotta actively try to link both writing & my distant past.

I hope this hypothesis works.
I’ll still take it safe though. RM:UWX 4 times a month only.

I just realized I can’t use RM:UWX again until the next 12 days because of the accident.
That’s annoying, should I just buy RM:V?
Now that I think about it, RM:V stage 1 + Story Teller / Synergy: Tale of the Dragon would fit me better.
I’m gonna think more about this.

Update 1:

The manifestation from the experimental RM:V is starting already.
That was quick… I didn’t expect this since I didn’t plan to use the sub in the first place.

Idk how to feel about this.
Should I go deeper into RM:V or should I stick with RM:UWX?

Fuck it, I’m gonna get RM:V stage 1 + Synergy: Tale of the Dragon.
I did gain a lot from the exp RM:V, getting the actual product is the right thing to do regardless.

I’m not in a rush though, I’ll wait until the option to choose different masks comes.
I just realized that a different mask for every sub I use can mitigate listening to the wrong sub for 15m.

I should get a different mask for every single sub I use.
Name embed + 1 extra module + different masks to minimize the impact of accidental listening.
The ROI is just too much not to get.

Planning

I decided that I’ll get DRG1 for the name embedded major instead of DRR1.

I’m only attracted to the first stage anyway, so if i’m going to buy the sub, I might as well get only the first one.

But i’ll finish DRR1 for 9 months total first.

It’s following the “minimal of 6 to 9 cycles for more than short term changes” rule that i found worked well for me.

This is the 5-6th month. So around 6 cycles in total have passed.
I’ll stick with it for another 3-4 months just to make sure that i can squeeze everything from DRR1 first before switching to DRG1.

Originally i planned to use DRR1 for 2-4 years, but DRG1 is basically DRR1 with a different flavor anyway.
I’ll use DRG1 for 6 to 9 months total too (it’s in a 1 year span since i’ll take 1-2 months break from the sub every 4-5 months), then decide which one i like better for the remaining 2 years.

After that, maybe i’ll revisit DRR2 again. It depends on how much my priorities change in the future. But for now, The first stage is just too good for literally everything. Dropping it again like i did to “advance” to stage 2 just doesn’t line up with my goals and everything that i do.

I wonder if DRG1 is redundant since i already plan to use HeO long term alongside DRR1 too. I can’t find a satisfying answer for this, so the only thing i can do is to experiment with it myself.

So the plan:

Make name embedded RMV1 right after the other masks are released > Make LE after it’s updated > Make DRG1 in 3-4 months > Make HeO after it’s updated.

Sword training

I decided to learn & train the footwork for fencing.
It looks fun & fencing seems to be the one that has the most active footwork out of the other sword arts i’ve seen so far. It fits my goal to focus mostly on footwork this year.

So far i’ve just been following random youtube videos to familiarize myself more with it.

I’m not as interested in the sport aspect of fencing though, my end goal is to get deeper into HEMA.

Kenjutsu is also interesting, i started with it after all, but ZWEIHANDER.

Something weird happened when i was doing qi gong.
I was in the middle of the exercise when something got me pissed off.

As usual, i just let it come, let it be, and let it go.
Just observe without trying to avoid the feeling.
But unlike the usual, the feeling didn’t come off.
It just lingered there for more than an hour.

That was strange.
I rarely ever had an anger with that intensity stay for that long over some minor inconvenience.

Idk what that was, and i can’t say it’s linked to qi gong or not. But damn that was weird.

Update 1:

Meditation fixed it. Well, at least now I’m aware of the deeper mechanics behind the emotion.
The pulses to feel angry kept firing, and a subtle part of me kept latching onto them.
Now that I know that, I just need to be aware and stop latching onto the pulses.
I can’t do shit about the pulses though, the best I can do is just observe.

It’s annoying, but I’m not gonna lie, it’s exciting to discover this side of me.
I still can’t figure out why these anger pulses keep coming, but time will take care of it anyway.

Maybe this is a cue to get deeper into qigong.
I have been too comfortable doing the same thing every day with it anyway.
It’s gonna have to fight for the time with my sword training though, but I’ll find a way.

Update 2:

Qigong problem requires qigong solution

An idea suddenly came, “why don’t i try one of those qigong anger release videos?”

And it did do the job.
Not completely, but the pulses have calmed down a lot since i did it.

I can’t confirm anything with just this, but now i have a tool that i can experiment with whenever i feel angry. I doubt the anger pulses & tension will ever stay for more than 6 hours like it did now, but the data will still be useful.

I feel like something opened inside of me after that qigong & DRR thing yesterday.
It’s like something got unblocked which helps with my sense of inner power.

But the changes are a bit too rapid. I need to adapt to it & adjust many things.
Idk wtf even happened, but I’ll make the best out of what I have either way.

I decided to keep the sword training simple for now in favor of using the time to learn more about qigong. So I’ll just do footwork training + the same set of 4 sword movements that I have been doing for a year.

An alpha sub would be great to guide me through this.
But again, doesn’t DRR & HeO kinda make a combination that can be classified as “alpha”?
DRR2 might be better than DRR1 for this. But I would be shooting myself in the foot if I switched to another sub right after the overload from when I accidentally listened to the exp RM:V a few days ago.

I just got an answer from support

I planned to combine HeO with Synergy: Primordial Aura to build an aura based on HeO’s effects such as resilience, discipline, virtues etc.

The synergy’s description itself makes it sounds like the aura is neutral, which is perfect for what i’m after. But i was worried that that wasn’t the case since the individual focus modules are described as sexual in nature.

So i asked support whether my plan to imbue HeO with an aura based on itself is viable or not, and Fire confirmed that it is.

I’m gonna make the name embedded major immediately after HeO is updated.

I noticed 1 more thing that was lost when I stopped HeO.

I gave up more easily without it.
The resilience from HeO has changed me a lot even when I wasn’t using the sub.
But without it, it’s harder to be as resilient.

HeO seeps wider & deeper into many parts of my life.
After I got back to HeO 2 weeks ago, I’m starting to notice better resilience in many aspects where I wasn’t even aware that I was giving up.
This was so natural back then before I stopped HeO that I thought it had become a part of me.
But the break helped to show me otherwise. I need the clarity to know what I should still be working on myself independently from the subs. HeO has taught me what’s possible, it’s my job to live up to it.

After this discovery, Emperor: Executive seems way more interesting now.
Emperor is about resilience after all. Combined with Executive, it will be a killer sub.
I’m still more interested in Executive that’s based on Limitless, but I clearly need to focus on resilience.
There are many layers of resilience that I’m still not aware of.

I wish a part of the resilience scripting would be included in the LE version of The Executive though. It might not be as strong as the Emperor version, but I’ll be stacking it with HeO anyway. So that’s more than enough for my needs.

Update 1:

Honestly, I’m not missing much after I stopped LE half a month ago.
My creativity is higher because of RM:UWX and my productivity is similarly as high because of HeO & DRR1. The only thing I lost is the raw “motivation” from LE, but that doesn’t matter as much as what I gained from this stack.

I’ll wait for a few months to make sure the potential bloom is over, then I’ll take a look at it again.
Well, by that time, the new LE will already be here anyway, so that means I’m done with the old LE now.

HeO DRR1

Fuck I’ve been missing this level of fulfilment for months.
Every day is getting better and better.

DRR1 is also the perfect match for HeO.
Sometimes even I think that some of HeO’s goals are a bit too tall.
DRR1, like DRLD did back then, is slowly chipping away at those arbitrary limits.
Only DRR1 is more holistic than DRLD. It’s better for my needs.

I don’t know if there’s a stack that could be as fulfilling as this.

Now I just need to add the name embedded RMV1 to complete the trifecta.
LE will stay too for the sake of the “4-5 months use & 1-3 months rest” rule.
It’s a good all around sub to use as a substitute when I need to take a break with one of the three.
It covers HeO’s productivity, DRR1’s boosting capability, and RMV1’s creativity scripting to an extent.

I should reflect on what I did wrong on my first run of HeO.
The fulfilment should be actively cultivated instead of just relying on the sub to give me that effect.
That way I’ll be able to keep more of the effects in the long run.

Update 1:

I can’t just wing this.

I need a game plan, a guide. A list of actions that I can take to cultivate what the subs give me.
HeO is a big sub with a lot of objectives. I realized this after trying to work on growing what I got from the sub independently without its help.

If I want to get the most out of HeO, I must be more proactive.
It’s not enough to just enjoy the effects, I need to actively & intentionally live them.

This is a tall task since the nature of the application of the virtues themselves is fluid.
I’ll work on this little by little. NSE will be a great help for this, but I can only rely on the NSE from another sub in the stack for it since HeO doesn’t have NSE yet.

Update 2:

1 thing that the combination of HeO & DRR1 (and the changes from DRR2) really elevate:
The self-assuredness that the path I’m taking is the right path.
No, I will make it right.

HeO dealt with it with its resilience scripting. But on top of that, the blend of the “think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world” effect with the virtues.
Knowing that I’m not doing this just for myself, but also for a higher purpose really enhances my self-assuredness.

Add to that the holistic enhancement & limit breaking from DRR1 + the changes in inner power from DRR2, they bring the potency of the effect to another level.

Trying not to talk about RM:UWX’s wealth manifestation :upside_down_face:

I hope RMV1 has wealth scripting too. I didn’t see it when i read the description, but maybe there’s. I’ll be adding synergy: gold boy to DRR/G1 anyway so it doesn’t really matter in the long run.

I got an answer from support

Quick questions.

Does RMV1 have wealth scripting? I didn’t see it being mentioned in the description.

If there is, how strong is it compared to the one in RM:UWX?

I found that the wealth scripting in RM:UWX is more than enough for what I need. So even if the one in RMV1 were weaker, it would be enough for my needs in the next few years. But if there aren’t any, I plan to add Synergy: The Golden One alongside RMV1.

Hello Viktor,

This is Fire.

Wealth in RM:V is found in the fourth stage, while the first 3 stages deal more with skills and mastery over highly technical aspects.

If you really want wealth, I’d suggest adding a wealth module.

Regards,

– SC Support

I plan to drop LE from the rotation if I don’t miss it as much during this break period.
So I’ll miss 1 spot for the module if that plan goes

The original 4 subs plan

RMV1 + Synergy: Tale of the Dragon
DRG1 + Synergy: The Golden One
LE + Rembrandt
HeO + Synergy: Primordial Aura

The new 3 subs plan

RMV1 + Synergy: Tale of the Dragon
DRG1 + Synergy: The Golden One/Synergy: Primordial Aura
HeO + Rembrandt

I have to choose between gold or aura in the new plan.
After the answer, I should choose the golden one if I go with this.
RM:UWX’s manifestations show me I’ll want wealth scripting even just as a side in the long run.

#1231

You could get both and run the Primordial Aura just from time to time.

But then a classic custom would be cheaper.

#1232

Not a bad idea, honestly.
But yeah, might as well get a custom at that point, rofl.

I lost my reason to build a custom after I found out these 3-4 subs are enough for what I want.
The modules should also cover up the small things that I feel lacking from the stack.
Social scripting & Wealth manifestation.

Rewarding the guidance

“When the pulse & insight from a sub comes, don’t delay. Take action. It will teach your brain to follow its interpretation of the sub. Help the sub help you reach your goals.”

That’s what i have been trying to follow lately.
Because sometimes when i started a new sub, there was an impulse/insight that aligns with the sub’s goals, but i ignored it again and again. I ended up getting less of it.

But it could be another factor in play, further experimentation required.
