I remade the plan for the custom again.

I decided to throw out everything love related to make the custom much more focused.

I also swapped Synergy: Voice is the Law to just Emperor’s Voice. Voice Master is intriguing, but I’m not a singer nor is any of my goals depend that much on the quality of my voice. I trimmed it out to make my stack more focused. 4 cycles of WB and (later) 5 cycles of RM:V should be enough to affect the quality of my voice for years to come.

Custom

Cores:
1 HeO
2 RM:UA
3 Limitless
4 NLE

Meditation: - Expanding on the focus & relaxation scripting from HeO
5 The Single Point
6 Synergy: Semper Praesens - Everpresent, EGO ADSUM
7 Synergy: Breath of the Storms - Foundation, Eye of the Storm
8 Synergy: Harmonic Conflux - Harmonic Singularity, Stress Displacement

Productivity: - Complementing HeO, RM:UA & Limiteless.
9 Victory’s Call
10 Virtue Series: Diligence
11 Synergy: Machine Unleashed - Machine: Action, Productivity Unleashed
12 Synergy: Carpe Vitam - Carpe Diem Ascended, Joie De Vivre, Unrelenting Wealth Motivation & Energy

Brainstorming: - Going deeper into RM:UA’s & Limitless’s creativity scripting
13 Visionary
14 Disruption
15 Revelation of Product Creation
16 Synergy: Wisdom of the Ages - Wisdom Personified, Mimisbrunnr, Pragya, Wayfinder

Skills:
17 Fortune’s Favorite - Luck is a skill that i always want to go deeper into.
18 Emperor’s Voice - I realized I want to improve my voice after i ran WB.
19 Synergy: Glory Incarnate - Gloryseeker, The Spotlight, Lifeblood-fable
20 Synergy: Tale of the Dragon - Dragon Tongue, True Sell, Song of Joy, Story Teller

This custom looks dense, 3 cores + 1 NSE + 8 Synergy modules. but everything here is streamlined to what I do every day, except for the sparring scripting in HeO. It’s moulded to fit my daily schedule perfectly.

Hopefully the update for HeO & RM:UA come soon. There’s little reason to rush a custom now since HeO alone already fills almost everything I want. So I’ll wait a bit more before making the custom.

trying out different sword movements is really fun.

I feel like I missed out on that by committing myself to only practising one set of movements for half a year. I don’t regret it though, having that movement so ingrained in my muscle memory is a really gratifying thing.

I’m more steady with the new movements too, compared to the first few weeks when i first used HeO.

Who would have thought that i’d not only stick with sword wielding, but also enjoy it this much.

Now i just need to make the time to spar regularly. It won’t happen soon though, I’m still too busy to make such commitment.

@RVconsultant may i ask you to change the title of this journal to “Viktor’s Victory Venture (HERO Origins + DR Red)”?

Before i used SC, i used to have only 1 type of dream on repeat most of the time.

Now, i dream much more frequently with different and wild dreams. I like it more than before.

I have been experimenting with work life balance. But then i ended up coming back to where i was from. 80% work, then the rest is whatever.

Nothing is as fulfilling as providing value through my work. I can have fun chatting, sex, games, travel, they can make me happy but the happiness feels hollow compared to busting my ass trying to improve & dedicate my life to my work.

Now that i’m off from LBFH, it has become more apparent.

I forgot who said it but someone here said that it’s weird. That actually made me think about it a lot and experimented here and there trying to find out more about myself.

I guess the scale for me is just different. Nothing feels equally as fulfilling. That’s why HeO fits me so well because i’m naturally inclined to the archetype.

I’m still glad that i experimented though, i’d have never known if i never tried.

I can’t discern the freedom scripting in RM:V.

Is it because I already ran RM:UWX for 4 cycles? Maybe because I’m not that shackled in the first place?
Is there any freedom scripting in RM:V? It’s under the RM series so I guessed there was.

I gotta test it more

I must disagree.
Why should it be weird?

OK. If you have a job, working in a factory or office, I can totally understand it.

But once you’ve found your passion, your purpose, it isn’t really work anymore.

It’s not like you’re grinding your ass off doing something you don’t like so others get rich.

That’s it. Others spend countless hours on video games, changing nothing for no one (I’m not talking about professionals that stream their games).

I know quite a few self employed people that live the same way as you.

I was also confused but they made a good point back then. I forgot what they said exactly, but that made me interested in experimenting further. I also wanted to be more open minded since I was under LBFH’s & WB’s effects. So i had enough reasons to test things out more.

that’s true. it was actually one of the turning points in my life. I felt so empty back then when i was playing a game that i turned my focus towards work instead. There i found out that, although I’m not constantly as happy as when I’m playing games, i feel much more fulfilled that it’s not even comparable. everything else in my life slowly followed suit.

yeah, I’m lucky enough that i was able to leverage “putting everything i have” into almost all the fields i took. If i worked a job where my devotion didn’t pay me back, i bet i wouldn’t be where I am today.

LBFH was super effective for me since it showed me the balance that i lacked. but now after i stopped using it, i realized that i just need a bit of what LBFH manifested to reach that balance.

How did you decide it was a good idea to put 4 cores into a custom?

#805

Thank you for changing the title!

Everything in the custom is streamlined with that i do everyday. By the time i start the custom, i will have been using HeO for 1 year. Plus RM:UWX for 4 cycles & RM:V for 5 cycles so it should soften the impact from RM:UA.

Most importantly, testing. Like how slow & cautious i’m using DRR now, i will do the same with the custom. If it ended up being too much no matter how i approach it, then i’ll just make another custom without RM:UA or Limitless. How else would i know if I don’t experiment with it.

I feel more calm more easily & frequently than before. Though it still feels subtle compared to the changes i felt when i start a new sub using longer exposure.

DRR for 12s works. I think this pace is perfect for me. Turns out +3s every listening day is not too slow. I will still use 2 washouts in a cycle though, I won’t risk getting long heavy recon.

Looks like DRR will be enough to support my meditation goals, i won’t need to use WB once every half a year like i planned before.

How many loops do you do in a cycle and how many washout days? I cant decide between 3s increases or 5s

#809

Very cool!

#810

Now I use 11 on 5 off. So 6 loops. I plan to swap the stage every 2 washout periods.

I change the schedule pretty frequently. Sometimes i use different numbers like 7 on 4 off, 9 on 4 off, 11 on 5 off, etc depending on different factors.

So, for the sake of simplicity, I count 1 cycle as 26 days regardless of where the washout period is.

3s might be too slow for you, so is 5s. I use low increments like these because i really can’t afford to risk getting long heavy recon.

I’d recommend using the usual 10s - 30s instead, then pull back once you think you’ve passed your sweet spot. It involves getting recon but it’s much quicker & efficient.

I normally use +10s too when i use normal subs like HeO & RM:UWX. DRR is getting a special treatment like WB because it’s scary, rofl.

I can’t wait to try WB again after I’m done with DRR in a year.
Will i still get the same recon? Will it become lighter? Will the results be better?

DRR 45s

I’m bracing for impact, if any.

15s gave me a subtle & short recon.
i wonder how i will react to 45s.

Update 1:

First hour, no recon.

Turns out i can handle 45s of DRR just fine. I don’t even feel a bit of recon.

After this washout, the next will be 48s then.

Still no recon at all.

I expected DRR to wreck me hard. 25s of WB made me lethargic and it isn’t even a healing title. DRR should’ve been worse since it’s the hardest healing sub to run. But no.

Is my problem with WB not related to healing? I need to finish DRR in a year and then use WB to find out.

Maybe i’ll run stage 1 for 15m or lower once just to find out. If i really don’t get that much recon from it then I don’t need to be so wary using DRR in the future.

Update 1:

I did more introspection and i found nothing

No recon at all.

DRR 7m

oh boy here we go
i decided not to use 15m, that’s stupid.
half is enough to test the water.

Update 1:

I’m still listening. 3 minutes in, this feels like the first time i used LBFH but MUCH denser.

Subs usually just flow by when i listen to them. this feels like navigating through murky water.

–

I’m done listening, the brain fog was significant with that one. It’s just like the first time i listened to LBFH.

This is exciting. I can’t wait to see what will happen, hopefully not a heavy recon.
no, please not a heavy recon, lol.

Update 2:

I feel an immediate calmness. stoic almost like when i listen to WB + HeO, but different.

“i got this”, almost this kind of assuredness.

but there’s also something inside that feels uneasy, like clashing. interesting.

now i understand that my sweet spot is around 2 minutes.
I’ll use +15s for this stage from now on. starting from 1m after this washout.

I’m sure it will increase as i get more accustomed to the sub, but I won’t risk more than that.
I’ll only use 2m max until i finish stage 4 in 4 months from now.

I need a long walk after that
