The recon seems far less now, for me recon really seems to be caused by the fact that my sleep sucks so much ever since adding stark in particulair. I dont know what it is about stark but it wont let me get proper rest. Slowly but surely ot seems to be getting a bit better though. After my washout i may add heartsong to my stack, i know its not wise to have a stack of 3 but i dont mind if it takes a bit to get full results for everything. This stack is gonna be here for quite some time (with heartsong and the ultima changing whenever i feel like, but stark + wanted are longterm).
Now that i think about it it makes sense that there has been quite a bit of recon so fast. Stark is an incredibly dense sub and wanted seems to be far denser than we expected. Combing this with DR U wich would probs be the densest sub there probably is, it makes sense that i got a lot of recon.
I didnāt know Wanted is dense, just energy intensive, Iām guessing due to the auric component. That said, Iām mindful of that now, and limiting my loops to bare bones.
Looking back on my journey, Iāve had the most intense of recon with Stark, 2nd only to DR ST2. Itās probably due to the cognitive benefits, and my introverted personality being challenged by Starkās penchant for the spotlight.
I had more recon with Stark than EQ, but I felt given time, Stark would have probably changed me in very profound ways, and pushed me in directions I never thought my natural personality would let me explore.
You sound like you have a plan. Stay strong mate, it will pay off dividends.
Thanks man! I feel this change you mentioned in stark quite a lot already! Things i normally would try to find excuses for not to go due to my introvert nature, now suddenly seem extremely exciting, and when i go i usually find even more new opportunities there to go out of my confortzone and improve my life in various ways.
A week into the washout and the iverload symptoms are still very much here, probably worse than ever, i dont really feel like doing anything. Im not even sure if 1.5 weeks is gonna be enough, i might go for a second and possibly even third week if it keeps going like this.
Im starting to think wanted and stark might just not be stackable on Qv2. They may just be too demanding. Im gonna try it for one more month after the washout, and if the overload ones again gets so severe and for so long as it is now, than i might just have to stop running WANTED and just focus on stark. I hope it wont come to this since i really love WANTED, it fits my personality so perfectly and i also really wanna see what the physical shifting can do.
Perhaps this is a good thing though on some perspective, this does give me way more focussed results for stark, and frees up the space to use some ultimas like limitless executive and love bomb. This could build an even stronger foundation so when i do run WANTED a year from now, it will be even better. At that point ill probably even have enough money to just buy a custom to combine stark and WANTED.
Ill definitely keep WANTED in there for another month, and after that ill decide wether its time to change it for now, or keep it in and risk getting so easily overloaded once again.
Thought id update it here again. After a month time a lot of changes seem to have taken place. First of all i was on a cycling vacation with some friends, and due to how much exercise i got with all the cycling, recon seemed to be almost nonexistent.
On this trip i actually started flirting a lot more than i usually do, not a conscious descision, but probably influenced by wanted. There was even a girl that very clearly had a bit of a crush on me, constantly trying to get my attention, looking for any excuse to touch etc etc. Ive honestly never really experienced something like that before, while girls have had a crush on me in the past on school and stuff, i never was able to actually notice it and had to hear about it afterwards lmfao.
Aside from this it also just seemed like it was far easier for me to make connections with people in all that. I was far more in the moment at almost all times than i usually am.
Overall im very satisfied with the results so far and cant wait to see what else is gonna happen after a bit more time.
My current stack btw is heartsong + wanted. I think ill soon be adding daredevil to this, as i sometimes struggle being social when im in completely new situations. It isnt to bad, but i do think daredevil can greatly help with this.
My mindset rn is above all making sure that wanted never leaves my stack for at least a year to really get everything out of that amazing sub that i can, and the other 2 subs can kind of change depending on external circumstances.
Ive changed my mind. Im not willing to spend more money right now on subs, id rather just wait untill im ready to buy a custom. I wanted to buy DD to give me a bigger social edge, but that goal can already be achieved if i just regulairly start playing love bomb. So for now, and most likely for a pretty long time, my stack will be: love bomb (run as major program) + heartsong + WANTED.
When neccessairy i can switch out love bomb for limitless executive for that cognitive/productivity boost, but for now i really like having a stack that for the most part works for the same goal.
What social benefits have you gotten when replacing Daredevil with Love Bomb/Wanted?
Wanted has been giving a lot of social benefits. It gave me this kind of nonchalance that made it really natural and easy for me to connect with most people (you wouldnt expect this in a sub about mysterious, but i actually am more talkative on it, probably because i just way more easily feel confortable). Aside from this it also litterly made me feel like i am⦠wanted. Not always neccessairly in a sexual way, but everyone seems to be really interested in me and getting my approval.
As for love bomb, i honestly cant say much about it just yet, so far i havent noticed to much, but ive only played it a few times. I havent had any mindblowing results with it just yet, but it should supercharge what i mentioned with wanted to an even greater extent.
Gotta say you are selling this badboy very well, relaxed conversation and mystery is a socially potent mix, especially with women. Add in all the other physical improvement stuff and Iād seriously consider purchasing this.
Being wanted is a foreign concept for most so that will take time to be accepted.
My main stack is staying the same, but now that my subconscious seems to slowly be adapting to Qv2, i want to slowly reintroduce stark to my stack. Stark really gave me a lot of trouble when i first added it in, so Im going to do it in a similair way to what saint mentioned he did with cognitive subs. Starting of im doing 1 loop of stark every 4 days. I have faith that i can handle this, but if it still proves to be to much ill cut back to one loop every 6 days.
Ive mentioned this before on this journal but ill say it again here. WANTED will remain a permanent part of my stack for at least a year. Meanwhile stark will also remain in my stack for a long time untill i can combine the two in a custom. I believe that WANTED + stark is my ideal archetype right now, it just has everything that i desire. The only negative thing is how extremely dense the two are.
Meanwhile the third slot is a bit more āopenā, but for now i dont see any sub that i like as much as heartsong. I think the healing in that sub is incredibly usefull and although i havent noticed it just yet, the potent manifestation should be super nice too.
As far as the booster goes, love bomb is hasnt shown much results yet so ill have it on hold until my next washout, after wich ill run it on its own for a bit (as recommended by saint/meng). So for now the only possible booster will be limitless executive when needed.
Itās been on my mind as well. I had bad recon last year when I ran it but I canāt even remember to let you know how the recon felt.
I ended up taking the leap 15 minutes ago and running it. I like your 1 day on 4 days off. Iāll try that.
This new schedule so far seems to be working extremely well. Stark has been showing effects mostly in the form of dreams so far (wich it didnt do previously), and the recon has been nonexistent. Im ones again reminded why i loved the combination of WANTED + stark so much too, they really seem made for each other. I honestly do somewhat think that these two subs are somewhat out of my reality at this point in time so i expect the true full effects of them to take a while to really manifest, but thats okay for me. The way i see it, subs are an investment. Im here for the longterm, and building off of what ive already experienced on these two subs so far, it seems like the longterm results are gonna be extremelyyyy worth it.
I just came to a realisation about subs a bit ago. My approach was just wrong. I was relying on the subs to do to much while i would just stay in the same rhythm and expected that magically i would change. While even this bad approach seems to still be slightly effective, its just so counterproductive. I realised that my behaviour is very easily changed, all i have to do is decide that im gonna act in a different way thats more in line with the sub, and make that a habit with some conscious effort. This way the script has a lot of room to work with and can execute a lot better.
For this reason im now gonna make a fullon breakdown of what exactly it is i want to gain out of this stack, and imagine what kind of person i would become when i get everything out of these subs that i want. Basically create a very detailed mental model of my ideal self, and than act accordingly, doing more conscious work to become like that mental model, and giving the subs all the room in the world to help push me in that direction even more.
I just created a custom based on this stack and my goals with it. This stack blew such a gigantic hole in my wallet, wich feels kinda bad, but i know its gonna be worth it in the long run. Im not planning on ever doing this again, but for now, im also excited to try my custom soon. It should be absolutely amazing.
So my custom doesnt seem to arrive for whatever reason, i notified support so thatll take another week. I think something went wrong with the custom creation as i never got any confirmation that my custom is actually being made, just a bill.
Anyhow i guess im gonna experiment a bit with my ultimaās than. I did a washout ever since ordering my custom, so that would be 9 days at this point. Now im slowly gonna start adding some ultimas while waiting for it.
Im Especially gonna be trying love bomb and sanguine in particulair. These two sound like a spectaculair combination and im very curious how my results colbining these two will look like.
Support got back to me really quickly and a few hours later finished the custom and send it to me! Im really happy with how customer friendly support is here, i was already prepared for having to wait a lot longer but am very happy i can now finally test out my new custom!
I just read through your whole journal and it is so great that youāre 18. You seem to have a pretty solid point of view and attitude.
Now that I think of it, itās September now and you may be starting college life.
Wishing you the best experience (and somehow I suspect youāll have it).
Thanks for the kind words! Yeah, college is starting in a week from now, really excited!
