I just got laid off today and my last paycheck won't be til the Saturday after this upcoming Saturday. I read somewhere it has to be a week after my last paycheck. what date do I choose? I tried calling the esd number but they're only open Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and I want to submit everything today if I can

I quit cold turkey on August 10th. Proud of myself for almost making it a whole month but I feel zero motivation to do anything. Everyday I just wish I had kratom or 7oh to feel happy again but ik it’ll just get out of control again and I’ll only feel happy for 20 minutes then dog shit the rest of my day. Except I feel like dog shit now all throughout the day so at least before I was feeling happy a few times a day. When should I expect to start feeling pleasure again and not eveyrthing I do having the thought behind it of “if only I had kratom so I could actually enjoy this.” Is it gonna be like this for months or years? If so I have no clue how I’m gonna function in life and I’m really concerned about myself tbh

I am going to be totally honest and say I think the truth of this sub is a mixed bag. I think some ppl are genuinely TIs bc we know the government is up to shit like that all the time, but I’m curious why each person on here thinks they are legitimately a TI. What was it for you that confirmed it wasn’t just paranoia but instead a real thing happening to you?

Just to be clear I was prescribed this after a surgery and took it for pain but it was such an uncomfortable sensation I stopped taking anymore. It felt like my skin was crawling with bugs and I couldn’t sit still. It was almost like rls but more of a skin sensation. I used to take it when prescribed before I regularly took kratom and it felt nice and similar to kratom. Then after taking kratom everyday for years I have this weird sensation. Currently I don’t take kratom anymore and tried it again not too long ago after another surgery and once again got that weird sensation. I honestly can’t find anything about this online and the only thing that’s changed between then is being in my late 20s and having a period of time where I took kratom everyday for a couple years. Has this happened to anyone else?

I remember them interviewing different people I believe around the world and connecting different folk tales to this other world that all folk tales connect to. I think grove is in the title but I could be totally wrong about it. I just remember it feeling like a real docu series you’d see on the discovery channel but they actually found an opening to this other world. It was pretty creepy too from what I remember I just can’t find it

The symptom that lasted the longest for me was restlessness, but today it finally went away! I’m able to sleep now if I want to! The only downside is that now all I want to do is just sit in bed all day. My body feels like a bag of bricks. Maybe this is from the exhaustion of riling in discomfort for almost three days, but I’m curious if this is something else other than exhaustion. Is this a normal symptom on day 3, and if so how long does it last? In my restlessness on day 1 and 2 I’d hear songs while scrolling and it was the best music has sounded to me in a very long time. It felt like my senses were dialed up to 11 out of 10 and there were parts of that that felt amazing. Now that the restless feeling has gone away though I feel numb again and music sounds not as good. Anyone else experience this?

I’m so happy that the sweats and restlessness has almost entirely gone away, but now I’m so tired I just want to sleep/lay in bed all day. Even when I don’t want to nap I don’t want to get up bc my body feels like a bag of bricks. This could be the subs as well. I had to take 32 mg the first night just to sleep 4 hours. Yesterday took 24 mg, today I’ve only taken 8 so far and hoping to take 16 in total. If this is normal, does it last a long time or does your body recalibrate Itd energy? I was so excited for a moment bc music sounded better than it has in years and in my restlessness I also knew that once the discomfort of it went away I thought I’d want to go to concerts again and engage in the community. Then the restlessness went away and music sounds the same as it did before. It almost felt like my senses were dialed up to the max and there were parts of that that felt so good bc I wasn’t numbing myself anymore. I’m hoping it’s just that I was so so restlessness and sleepless the last two days that my body is just crashing from the marathon of it. I’m very proud of myself though and wanted to share that I’ve made it this far as well

I waited about 13 hours until I took the suboxone to prevent precipitated withdrawals. I made sure to take it after I started feeling uneasy and withdrawal symptoms. Idk if it’s placebo but I’ve noticed that with every strip I will feel symptoms go down a little for a few minutes then all of a sudden ramp up over the next 45 minutes. Idk if it’s just me going thru withdrawal and not taking enough suboxone or the suboxone is making it worse. I’m pretty freaked out rn ngl

Important detail is that I started playing these games last year and have been taking my time with them to really chew on them and do everything I want to do. first it was LAD, then 0, 1, and 2. Without giving away too much personal info I'm detoxing from some heavy stuff and my attention span is incredibly low, but this game so far is actually holding it. I've never played the original so Ik that's a big part of it, but as a newcomer, I love the combat so far, feels like a major upgrade from kiwami 2 and so far I think I'm liking the combat even more than 1. I love it when these games have various combos to memorize and weave together. It feels like a fighting game with an actual story and other things to do which is the biggest reason I normally don't like fighting games. I am only in chapter 2 so my opinion may change by the end of this, but I sincerely adore the vibe of this game so far. It also feels like the most polished yakuza game I've played. Sure the story is nothing groundbreaking so far, but it's warm and cozy, and I think I really need that rn. Maybe a lot of this has to do with my expectations of the game, bc based on what I've heard I thought it wasn't even gonna be fun, but so far I'm having more fun in this intro than I did in 1 and 2 and I really love those games.

I know it is by far the most controversial game in the series, but it seems like a lot of the hate is because of ppls knowledge of the original. I am new to this series but I adore it so far and just beat Kiwami 2 and want to continue. I think this post is more directed to ppl like me who played 0, Kiwami 1 & 2 and then Kiwami 3 and not the originals. Was it enjoyable or did you also find it not great and frustrating like long time fans?

I am taking 600 mg a day and went to the Dr to say I’m ready to quit. They prescribed me suboxone and told me to take 4mg the first day, 1 mg at a time throughout the day while continuing the same amount of 70h. Then day 2 reduce the 70h by a third and doubling suboxone, and so on until I’ve completely stopped 70h on day 3 and gotten up to 8 mg twice a day.

Day 1 took subs while taking 70h like normal and it got me super high and out of it. Felt like I was drunk. So I got an appointment online same day and they said to just keep the subs as they are and try another 1 mg the next day which was yesterday. I tried that and this time it was the opposite effect. It was sobering me up within minutes then sending me into some uncomfortable withdrawals. I did not reduce my 70h bc they told me to keep that the same for now. They told me to take subs again last night but I got too worried and didn’t do it.

Now today I’ve just been pretty much taking 70h like normal maybe a little bit less bc I just want to stop and I’m finding my desire fading to take it. That being said I feel lost on what to do. I don’t want to go into precipitated withdrawals again but I also don’t want to go cold turkey bc I heard that even with subs it’s several days of severe discomfort. Anyone actually have experience with doing a cross taper with 70h and suboxone? It feels like my health care providers have no idea what they’re doing and theyve kinda admitted that already bc they aren’t super familiar with 70h. Please help in feeling so depressed and stuck today and I just want to get clean

Since I can’t see my addiction specialist til August 11th, an md was able to message the specialist for advice and then got back to me about this plan. They admitted that they aren’t too experienced with 70h and I asked them should I just reduce my 70h by 33% everyday and they said yes and that the bottle and something in my chart will tell me the exact amount of sub to take and that it’ll be starting low then increasing the amount to replace the 70h. I thought I’m supposed to go into withdrawals before taking subs though to reduce risk of precipitated withdrawals, and replacing the 70h with subs doesn’t seem right to me. Anyone have any advice based on experience? I was also prescribed stuff for restless leg and naseau.

Edit: just checked the instructions and they say
Day 1: half of a 2mg tablet four times a day
Day 2: one whole 2 mg tablet four times a day
Day 3: 8mg twice daily

When should I be taking 70h? As far apart from the subs as possible?

I really enjoy playing this game I just think something in my brain just isn’t connecting the dots fully. I can beat ai on easy most of the time but I haven’t been able to beat ai on normal. It feels like when I play against normal ai they’re cheating bc they’re somehow using their turns gaining the same amount of influence as me and harboring resources and combat wins as well. Would anyone be interested? Dune is my fav series of all time so I think that’s making me extra fervent to learn this game properly

The only person I can find to a bludgeon and I swear I’ll watch him play, pause the video and decide what I’d do with his hand, then resume it and hed almost always do the same thing or something really similar but I’m really struggling to beat ai on normal difficulty. Im thinking I need some more demonstrations bc I’m struggling to figure out what I’m doing wrong even after multiple sessions over the last couple days

I’ve been playing it on digital and today I was playing as the beast Raban and sent an agent to sietch tabr since I had an alliance with the fremen. It somehow allowed me to transfer I think it was 10 troops all at once into battle way more than the 2 that is on the space. I’ve honestly felt like I might be misunderstanding something bc the only way I’ve had big numbers in battle is throwing down intrigue cards and combining it with the space that uses six slice to deploy a bunch of troops that’s part of the imperial alliance I believe. Otherwise I’m only getting at most 4 at a time bc of the fremen alliance space that has two squares on it. Also even if I have a built up garrison it doesn’t do me much good bc I can’t only transfer 2 troops per turn if I’m on the right space. How did I trigger all those troops going over with just sietch tabr? If I’m remembering correctly too it wasn’t a card that had any trigger on the agent phase half of it for adding a lot of troops. I also didn’t have any intrigue cards that allowed me to deploy them all. So what happened?

I got the game a couple days ago digitally and I was really struggling to win games even against the AI on easy so I realized after trying out a bunch of different things that the advice that I heard early on that you should use every agent every turn was not the best advice. Of course getting sword master as soon as possible I think is good advice, but the only reason why I was able to get so many victory points was because I focused on getting new cards by saving on my persuasion instead of just hoarding resources and not having enough by the end of my turn. Of course, high council is also a must but I just wanted to share the progress and hopefully I can move up to normal AI difficulty because I tried AI on normal the other day and it was definitely a lot more challenging than a normal difficulty on any other digital board game.

I just got the game digitally on steam and really enjoying it so far, but I think I still barely grasp how to efficiently expend resources. For instance in my last game i ended up with a lot of solarium but couldnt figure out what to do with it all once I got sword master and the council seat that gives me 2 extra influence. If I used a green card for the 4 troops space it was super difficult to move all those troops over into battle since that space doesn’t have an x on it to move those over and I’d have to spend the next two turns moving those reserves over since it’s only 2 per turn. It feels like water and spice move pretty slowly as well apart from that space that u spend 6 spice to move 5 troops over. Ik its not troops it’s the squares that turn into troops but you know what I mean. I guess what I’m struggling with is adapting on the fly bc I might want to do something in one turn but it takes several turns for me to move those resources around and by that point I’ve missed out on turns where I could’ve been raising faction levels. I know this might be a hard thing to answer but I’m hoping for some good tips to move these things around more quickly and when ppl say you need to adapt, what’s the best way to adapt?

The only issue I’ve found is lowering the resolution but I’m still in the tutorial and it seems the crashes happen when more is going on. Anyone found a stable way to run this game?
