These subs and modules feel right/important/awesome and will for the time being find their way into my stack.
This entry will be updated after each cataclysmic mega drop.
SUBS/CORES
Khan Black: My Desert Island Sub.
Force of Life. Truly transformative.
Currently I have it in a custom. After the NSE upgrade KB will probably get its own (Terminus?) mini custom for name embedding with a handful of supporting modules.
Primal is currently my foundational core. Helps to laugh at a lot shit happening right now and regaining a healthy playfulness. Taking stuff not seriously can be a superpower. A powerful weapon against boredom.
Primal is grounding and healing. Exactly what I need at the moment.
Love Bomb feels like an incredible strong catalyst for any kind of social interaction. Family, business, flirts, relationship, neighbourhood stuff, networking but also buerocracies, as long as you see a human being, all feels so much smoother and easier. Getting presents is nice too. I can see running it open ended like KB.
Legacy of the Spartan: Great sub for getting into/staying in shape. Will run it for a long time.
MODULES
Stonelike: Stress for me is often followed by headaches, neck pain, muscular tension, nervous stomach. Stonelike helps a lot. The stress itself I can handle, it was always the knock on, that was difficult.
Entranced: Lovely in combination with LB!
Inexaustable Does what it says on the tin.
Perfect for very, very long work days.
Joie de Vivre Great for business/productivity customs.
Current Invoker Great for Larp, acting, performances.
The Flow Went into customs after @Invictus praised it a lot. Heâs right. Great module for acceptance of change and integrating results with the rest of the world.
AI Whisperer. Self-explainatory.
Khronos Key Stopping the time from running, is the first step to real self-care.
Treasure Finder: Does what it says on the tin.
Dopaminergic Revival: Great in Combination with KB.
Polygot works great, open-ended.

These subs and modules I used in the past, like them a lot and got very good results. In the future they will probably end up in a custom against.
SUBS/CORES
Beast Unleashed: When the workload is a bit much, I often find it difficult, to get into âthe zoneâ for lifting. Not with BU.
Paragon Complete: Great health sub. Only used it when really necessary, as it uses up most of my bandwidth. Really curious how the update will look like.
MODULES
Deep State and Stillmind helped a lot with quieting the mind and better meditation.
Temptation Great in combination with Primal. The temptation is just playful and fun.
Voice Master: Great module. Have to do a lot more exercises.
Song of Joy and Dragon Tongue: I enjoy both a lot. Not sure if still needed with Primal in the mix.

A STARK BLACK REALITY and RENAISSANCE MAN: ULTIMATE WRITER X
These two made a couple of customs built beforehand a bit redundant.
We (w/ @Lion @Malkuth) discussed writer customs here: Hypnotic / Writing Subs.
RM:UWX, being as comprehensive as it is, could go into different customs with fewer (5-10) modules. (One custom for erotica, one for non-fiction, one of hypnosis etc.)
Very much the same applies to ASBR.
The Gentle Opening of an Oyster is productivity sub build around NRICH.
The Gentle Opening of an Oyster

ASBR with some support modules probably does the job with less density. It could look something like this:
The Gentle Opening of an Oyster v2
I. A Stark Black Reality Core
II. Free Pass
III. Treasure Finder
IV. AI Whisperer
V. Kronos Key
VI. Joie de Vivre
VII. The Flow
VIII. DEUS
IX. Pragya
X. Tyrant
XI. Jupiter
XII. Void of Creation
XIII. Yggdrasil
For non-fiction writing an ASBR RM:UWX custom be interesting.
I really like this new kind of very specific and incredibly comprehensive sub very much. It makes the building of small, very focussed customs very easy.

- CURIOUS ABOUT⌠-
these subs and modules. Never got around to properly run them.
SUBS/CORES
The Alchemist: 4stager are such a commitment. Itâs been on the list since release, but never found the time so far.
Chosen: The Way of Nature: For a custom around the Faun archetype.
Emperor: The Will to Power looks damn sexy after the upgrade.
Revelation of the Spirit: Same as The Alchemist. Really tempted, never found the headspace so far.
MODULES
None so far. Whenever a module felt interesting it went into a custom.

The following posts are just for fun, playing around with custom concepts for certain archetypes. Donât know, If I will ever use them.
Of the many classical archetypes, the Faun is one of my favourites. Fearless, sexual, enjoys life, very social, knows how to party wild, but also, with the strong link to the earth and nature, in his own way very spiritual.
Primal is pretty close to some aspects. Chosen: The Way of Nature is the other very obvious choice. This could be mixed up a little if there ever will be something like the New Nature Experience. A Faun custom could look something like this:
- FAUN: The Way of Nature -
PRIMAL
Chosen: The Way of Nature
Joie de Vivre
Mystic Osmosis
Starfilled Night
The Wonder
Current Invoker
Dance Mastery
Virtuoso die Musica
Sphaera Magnetica
Song of Joy
Emotions Unfettered
Instant Spark
NDE
Aphrodite
Male Enhancement
Love without Attachement
Maybe itâs a bit too broad, concentrating of one aspect might work better.

Edge of Danger for me doesnât really mix with Love Bomb. (was only included for a specific aspect of a performance)
The Flow and Current Invoker are a great combination for acting/performance.

Even though A. is just meant for a project,
I like it a lot.
Klicks better
than a lot of other customs
did before.
Maybe this approach is working
better for me.
The meticulously planned customs were very much
a conscious endeavour. Setting a goal
(e. g. finance/building the company)
assessing every module,
how it would relate to the goal
how it could synergize with the others.
Then whittling down to 20 modules.
A. was maybe more comparable to
writing fairytales or free form short stories.
(Just a blank page
no idea or frame to start with,
starting to write without thought
so the subconscious can freely show
whatâs going on.)
Choosing the archetype
that felt right
and choosing the modules
I felt drawn to
with a bit consolidating in the end.
Probably will end up with a mix.
But one freeform custom in the stack
feels about right.

Some modules and cores just go well together. (This list will be updated.)
Khan Black + Dopaminergic Revival (Energy)
Current Invoker + The Flow (Acting/Entertaining)
Temptation + Entranced

One of my favourite writing techniques is the âClogged Faucetâ.
Before you get to the good stuff, you have to go through all the bad. Flat characters, cliches, the most obvious, tired ideas and plot hooks. All these come up first. Itâs important not to hold them back. If you do, they come back and again creeping in as the (too) obvious solution for a narrative. I write them down in a separate junk document to release them. Liberating.

Now thatâs an excellent solution to the fear of going down the boring writing path.

Helped a lot.
When it comes to too flat, straight, boring writing a friend of mine uses, what he calls the ââŚand a werewolfâ method.
When he is stuck with this kind of story and doesnât really know how to expand and complicate (in a good way), he sets it aside, starts to write a completely new one, new characters, different world. After establishing the basic premise, he brings both together and handles them as if they are part of the same story, just needing some editing. Often it works baffingly well. Itâs very playful, good training. (His first add-on story was a werewolf story.)
I prefer the lite version, just building one unrelated aspect (often a character) and chuck it into the mix.

Current Invoker, The Flow and Primal (for understanding and writing social dynamics) are an incredibly combination for story and scene set-up.
Was just lying two hours in the bathtup, imagining different set-ups, how people would react to what, the timing etc. It was very easy to immerse into the aimed for atmosphere and actually feel the scene.
Looking forward to throwing the new ME into the mix.

Polyglot works well for me.
It will probably go into every stack from now on.
RM:UWX in combination with ASBR makes the custom quite heavy, on the other hand: Everything I want to develop is in large parts written.
Not quite sure how the next stack will look like. Still 8 days to think about it.

Current Invoker
is working exceptionally well.
Got a lot of positive feedback and compliments after rehearsal.
Two other performers noted a specific moment during the performance
they âwill never forgetâ and a very special glow.
(Kingâs Radiance+LB?)
If you often get into contact with new people
Instant Spark, Kingâs Radiance, new Love Bomb
(+The Flow and Current Invoker)
is an extraordinary combination. Really love it.
Iâll keep A. v2 as my foundational social sub.
New LB took a bit of time to take off.
Might exchange Primal later for the new Daredevil,
but right now it is still doing important grounding work.
Maybe add Dragon Tongue, Voice Master and Entranced in A. v3,
but not sure yet.
New and old Love Bomb are like night and day.
Really enjoyed the presents, the light, sometimes childish atmosphere with oLB. It was always a bit fleeting.
The new Love Bomb is so profound. The aura is slowly coming back, but in a different way, permanent, strong, unshakable.
Building self-love is damn hard work for the soul.

Some loose thoughts on better results.
A custom tailormade for a project you will be working on for a couple of months is a great way to get results. Itâs taking action in overdrive. Very focused, with every step you take, with every bit of time you invest, you also work on/with the sub.
Probably best to find a project you really would like to work on, which aligns with you goals.
Notes on the stack:
- Microloop new subs to get a feel.
- Build, try clusters in small customs.
- rearrange, tinker til a cluster âclicksâ.
- Build up clusters towards a defined goal into (slightly) bigger customs.
- Only use what clicks and is actually needed. Cut everything else.
- Build and tinker with existing customs to progress and to minimize recon.
