So a month ago my dose was increased from 30mg to 40mg

I was doing amazing on 30mg but it was wearing off too early (2pm). I explained that to my doctor and he recommended upping the dose to 40

So I've been giving the increased dose a shot for about a month but I'm noticing my distractability and forgetfulness coming back. The worst thing is my impulse control has gone back to being poor. While on 30mg I was avoiding my usual self medication of coffee and sugar, but on this new dose I've fallen back into those bad habits to keep going. I've also become more irritable and instense (very wordy, unable to keep my filter on and always sharing too much if you can't tell already by this post).

I've heard coffee can make things worse, and to be fair it does give me the shakes if I drink it while taking Vyvance. But I thought it just made the comedown worse, I don't think I've read anything about it making the medication less effective. I'm also fairly sure that I started turning to coffee again because this new dose isn't working the same. I'm wondering if I should go back to a lower dose? I hate to bother strangers with this and appreciate anyone who answers, I will go back to the doctor if I have to but I'm not exactly wealthy so I try to avoid extra visits if I can, you know?

Someone will probably bring me back to reality pretty quickly with this one but I thought it was a fun theory anyway.

So my evidence for this is a couple of things, although I'll admit it's a stretch.

First is the forshadowing from Spamton that Darkners might be able to leave the Dark World while keeping their Dark World forms if they possess a human soul.

Then we have the mysterious caller in chapter 4 implying Kris can't travel between woulds without a soul. Although this could be true for all Lightners so I don't know.

>"... need... soul... Without... soul... Kris... will.. ... Kris... dark world... no soul... can't..."

Finally we have the beginning of Chapter 5 where Kris stumbles through the window, skin going a sickly color until they put the back soul in. Seems like they can't stay in the Light World for long without a soul. But again this is probably true for all Lightners.

This would still fit the cage with human parts thing too because the Darkner body is the cage and the human parts is the soul.

Yeah I admit I am probably wrong, but it was a fun thought that I wanted to share anyway

What are some good ones that get his character right?

When I scroll through the menus, sometimes the UI will just freeze and stay frozen until I close the app

This isn't a problem with the streaming, it's the actual Stremio app ui thats freezing before I can even select a movie.

I installed stremio through Mints software manager, I'm not sure if that is relevant.

Oh boy, I hope this doesn't make me seem like one of those people that can't handle their favorite character getting criticized. Trust me, I know he's supposed to be a flawed character and there are valid reasons to call Tenna morally ambiguous (Those contracts are scummy and he hides the whole Knight plan from Susie and Ralsei. He's also petty as hell lol)

But hear me out, I'm kinda confused where people get "emotionally manipulative" from, probably because I'm kind of dumb with understanding social dynamics sometimes. People seem to mean he's being manipulative when he does the whole "Oh *sniff"* you're leaving? Tear the whole thing down and kill the show!" thing. Which I guess... is kinda? If you consider him hamming it up manipulative? I always saw it as him just sort of just being cartoonish, but not exactly fake? I mean we find out that he actually is genuinely lonely and doesn't want the fun to end. So is it really manipulative if he's just playing up his real insecurities?

I hope this post doesn't make me look like a crazy fan I swear I don't overthink about this character 24/7 🫪

Oh no, I'm falling into the spamtenna lore rabbithole.

Spamton, as much as I love the gremlin, is pretty much a con artist, right? But apparently the reason Tenna gets so annoyed with the Pippins he employs is because they're rule breakers and try to conduct shady dealings.

In chapter 3 when Tenna starts crashing out about "That spammy mailman" he rants about how he "ripped him off" and says stuff along the lines of "He told me digital currency was stable!" (Lol). How much of that is just Tenna being bitter, or did Spamton really scam him and that's why he's so strict with the Pippins?

This isn't me being all "Oh Spamton is evil and Tenna is a perfect little angel" either, Tenna obviously did his fairshare of trying to push Spamton into a contract despite warnings and he's also very petty about dragging Spamtons name through the mud, so they're both kind of terrible to each other.

But it got me curious about how the heck they ended up as more than business partners in the first place? The implication is that Spamton originally started out intending to sort of scam him, but "[Trash Heap] you really do care!" Makes me think he had a change of heart and started genuinely liking Tenna somewhere along the way? By what made him warm up to him, I wonder?

I ask because when Chapter 5 came out I saw a lot of people call Flowery a sort of anti-Tenna because supposedly a lot of fans *don't* miss Flowery (which sucks because I personally thought Flowery and Chapter 5 were great)

I have no idea what caused this, maybe it was some kind of update. Steam had been working fine up until today. Now it won't launch at all.

I remember when Undertale came out that people didn't like her much and I've always wondered why? Have people warmed up to her or do people still hate her?

When the game came out I liked Alphys because she reminded me a lot of a lot of my friends at the time. A very specific type of relatable Tumblr lady. Insecure and nerdy. I can understand being mad about her for the experiments, but I always saw it as mistake she was extremely guilty about and scared of confronting. As well as the story trying to emphasize just how under pressure and desperate the Monsters were to find a way to free themselves from the underground.

Like she's flawed, but I never understood the hate. I thought the moral about learning self worth enough to live with your mistakes was kind of sweet.

Sorry if this is a topic that have been discussed to death, I kind of avoided the Undertale fandom back in the day so I have no idea.
