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?

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.

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.

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

I expected to be lethargic from recon.
But what’s happening is the opposite. The sense of calm, collected, grounded, non-hyperreactive, among other things make it easier to do stuff & focus.

If the effects are constantly like that, it may be a detriment to use lower loops.

The whole purpose of me taking it super slow is to have the best environment where i can be the most productive. If using more will result in increased productivity, then using too little is illogical for my goals.

The weight from 7m of DRR is less heavy than my first cycle of LBFH.

Dang, i might have been too cautious for nothing.
I’m sure increasing it by +3s/listening day contributed to how light it is, but i was expecting it to be more dramatic.

10 cycles of LBFH & 5 cycles of DRLD, alongside my experience with the other subs must be a huge factor too.

I might try to be a bit more daring with DRR.

Is there romance scripting in DRR?
Or maybe scripting that indirectly touches that

Because i feel like i’ve been pushed towards it ever since i listened to 15s

I would imagine that healing certain aspects could activate scripting from WB in you.

Just as LB activated dormant scripting in a lot of us through healing.

Yeah, i bet there’s something inside that WB & DRR are slowly uncovering. My desire for romance is being gently pushed forward.

Damn i’m productive as fuck.
DRR is really good for my goals.

I think i’ll use the first stage for 2-3 cycles instead of just 1. I want to drill this effect into me.

If stage 1 is enough to fulfill everything i want, i might not even move to the next stage for a while. What’s the point? I get what i want from the subs i’m currently using and that’s it.

Other than productivity, meditation-like effects in daily life, and the unfolding about romance, I don’t feel any other thing. I thought DRR was going to be rough.

Ah… this is recon from DRR1

Nothing bad, just the sub processing and redirecting myself to visit my past.

It’s acceptable. I see no decline in my work performance.

Damn i’m lonely
I wasn’t even aware of it

I let loose a bit to give myself more space to process DRR. Talked to more people and reconnected with old friends.

There i realized that i’ve been feeling lonely and i didn’t even notice the depth of it before.

Stopping LBFH means i have to be a bit more proactive in nurturing relations. I can’t keep neglecting them.

I want to use LBFH again but mixing 2 healing subs is not a good idea. LBFH lowers my productivity and i haven’t integrated well with DRR yet. Mixing both of them won’t be good.

Fewer social manifestations aside, i don’t feel as connected to people as when i was actively using LBFH. It doesn’t feel as satisfying & fulfilling either.

I won’t swap to LBFH though, i want to see if i can fix this by myself first. LBFH has done enough showing me what’s possible anyway.

DRR1 5m

please no lethargy recon

it doesn’t feel that heavy when i listen to it, but who knows how it will turn out.
7m made me more productive, i hope 5m too.

i kinda feel that composed feeling i felt when i listened to 7m.
but there’s a bit of anxiety too deep inside.

this is exciting.

No heavy recon so far.
It doesn’t feel as dense as the first time i listened to 7m.
DRR is way easier than i anticipated.

DRR1

no recon at all for the whole day.
no overload symptoms too.
practically nothing other than the slight anxiety i felt right after listening to DRR1

more grounded
more of “i can”, “I’m doing it right”, “I’m safe & succeeding” etc
more productivity

fuck it, I’ll try 10m next.
i love this sub. it’s just a flat upgrade to my daily life with no downside.

DRR1 is smoother than LBFH.
It’s even smoother than RM:UWX.

it doesn’t introduce anything overtly new like LBFH did and just enhances everything that’s already there.
I expected it to be a recon filled experience but it’s the opposite.

I’m sure it’s this smooth because I’ve used other subs for over a year. the foundation is already solid.

DRR1 15m

I didn’t feel any denseness when i listened to it. It’s smoother than i expected.

I’m gambling a bit with trying full length, but i hope there won’t be any lethargy recon. my experience so far has shown that the longer i listen to DRR1, the more productive i become. I hope it stays that way.

I wonder whether i should stick with DRR1 or move to the next stage.

DRR1 is smoother than DRLD, now that i looked back at it.
I expected DRR1 to be a brutal experience, but it couldn’t be farther from how things unfolded now.

Update 1:

No recon whatsoever.
i don’t feel overloaded either.
damn this is REALLY smoother than i anticipated.
