21 modules total, just need to get rid of one. Debating between Lion IV and Alpha Body Language, someone also suggested removing Dragon Tongue since True Sell was in there. Hmmmm.

s/o @enigma12 @friday and especially @Invictus for their assistance. This looks to be final, barring any sudden changes related to the new module pack that’s coming out. I ain’t buying this custom until that module pack comes out, that’s for damn sure.
Could not handle the temptation, especially with the FLAC release. I bought True Sell, and am going to replace Stark with it. So I’m going to do a quick washout and start this new shit on Monday and see what you all are talking about.

Everything can be analyzed through the concept of journey and end, the path and the goal, the object and the subject.
The end never matters, but it is the reason we set out on the journey in the first place. The journey is everything.
Think I want to remake my Muay Thai custom, and replace Deus and Fortune’s Favorite with Epigenetics and Deep Sleep. The latter especially is something that I regret not including.
New module pack is looking fire. I want to add Deep Sleep and Heracles into my Muay Thai custom and I think getting rid of Fortune’s Favorite is the obvious choice but I’m not sure if I want to part with Deus.

Heracles can replace Fortune’s Favorite, but should I replace Deus with Deep Sleep? I think another sub could be a better option to replace but any suggestions would be appreciated.
Had a great idea from Invictus to remove Deus and Submodel Alpha, and replace it with omnidimensional. That gives me space to add deep sleep.
I love every module I used, but it feels like Fortune’s Favorite is the most expendable of them all. Heracles will have to make way for it.
Realized that this is the first period of my entire adult life where death is something I feel like I actively want to avoid because I have so much ahead of me. Never had that feeling in my entire life until now, which is incredible.
Now I realize truly how fucked up it is when people are apathetic to the idea of living longer.
Just remade my custom, replacing Submodel Alpha, DEUS and Fortune’s Favorite with Deep Sleep, Heracles and Omnidimensional. Looking forward to trying out this new version and the cool thing is that it doesn’t make my previous custom obsolete. It’s training-focused, versus having a competitive focus.
I think I want to update my planned custom, make a few changes. I don’t think it makes sense for me to build a custom with TS as a core, I think I should make a Stark/Wanted custom as those are the 2 archetype subs I’ve ran the longest (along with AM).
Here’s the plan so far, personally I’d like to revise the cores to include a bit more productivity. Victory’s Call is an excellent addition that I definitely want to add, Moment Immortalized would be another good one.

Looking at it overall, I think all the modules complement the cores. Looks great!
In my opinion, you can move out Gloryseeker because Stark has the comprehensive fame scripting, and instead of that put something else.
Eh, I think I want to emphasize the fame aspect of Stark so I don’t want to remove Gloryseeker at all.
I’d be looking at replacing Dragon Tongue with Victory’s Call, just need to find space for Moment Immortalized.
Edit: Foundation looks like an interesting module for me to include as well, ah the choices…

Removed Inner Voice, Dragon’s Tongue and Joie de Vivre, replaced by Foundation, Moment Immortalized and Victory’s Call. Looks good for me, but I’ll take another month before I decide to pull the trigger.
Sparred in clinch for the first time since my staph infection and it made me realize how fucking weak bodybuilders/weightlifters are, it was definitely eye-opening.
Context, I’ve been lifting weights at the gym for the first time for the last 2 months to become stronger. I’ve made significant progress that I was hoping would correlate to performance boosts in muay thai, and specifically clinch. And yet when I clinched this week, I felt significantly weaker compared to how I was pre-injury, despite the fact that I’m able to lift almost double the amount of weight at the gym, and I’m 10 pounds heavier.
Looked into it further and realized how significant the difference between strength and power is. I figured that working out for strength was much better for my performance goals than working out for hypertrophy, but power is truly what I need to train for. I went down the rabbit hole and it was genuinely eye-opening.
I can’t look at bodybuilder-types (a.k.a aesthetic-focused trainers) the same way ever again. I used to think that that any kind of muscle would be able to to correlate to a boost in performance and while that still is true, it’s not nearly as significant as I thought.
It puts everything into perspective for me now. Now all of a sudden, I’m so much more confident in myself and my ability to defend myself against an even wider range of males, even those that are quite a ways larger than myself. If they have zero combat training (or even general athletic training) it’s effectively useless.
Now all of a sudden, training combat becomes so much more important for me. I’ve been getting compliments because of the quick developments in my physique and it’s made me prioritize weightlifting over muay thai lately, but that sparring session changed everything. Gotta get back on the real grind.
Thinking about saying fuck a custom, and trying out Khan. Been hearing way too many good things about it lately.
Was your custom any good?
I haven’t made the Stark custom yet (what I was referring to in my post).
My Muay Thai custom’s been great.
