old windows comp is no longer laggy after i uninstalled winzip…no longer a pain in the ass to make tuts
Ran a Starfinder session for friends this evening, last time was I think about a year ago. Another Skittermander one-shot adventure called Skittercrash. It was hilarious mostly due to the guys roleplaying their little furry aliens to the hilt. Very silly.
Making an ep with glitchonimu style tracks…I finished two tracks so far.
A few more to go.
Lol glitchonimu as a music genre…lol.
Finally got the basics of the woulg vaetxh glitch sound…now to make it sound less like randomly sequenced glitch music.
That’s stress… quitting smoking is stressful. When that sigh happens try exaggerating it until you get it all out… you will feel better.
I tried to quit smoking hundreds of times… once I quit for three years and went back… so stupid!!!
I finally really quit smoking October of ‘89… I still have physical cravings… especially when I smell it… but I don’t miss it emotionally.
I still have dreams that I started smoking again and in my dream I’m devastated and disappointed in myself. When I wake up I’m sooooooo happy that I didn’t start smoking again!
How did I quit? One day I realized that quitting meant deciding “never again…” that scared me at first… the voices in my head started telling me “it’s OK … once in a while…” then I realized that those voices were not me… they were the addiction… controlling me… I was even more scared by the voices trying to control me…
Once I decided that I’m in control… not the voices… I never looked back.
Take a deep sigh you will feel better…
the dreams will never stop, and I only smoked for a few years. I did vape for almost 10 though, still, cigs got me in the end. It’s been 1.5yrs since I quit and my morning coffee still gives me the craves.
But then I remember I kicked that shitty-ass habit, and that’s where it ends. Still, that’s the concious mind… the dreams are another story.
sometimes movies with gratuitous smoking scenes give me the jitters as well, lol
Quit smoking more than 10 years ago after smoking since I was 15 and sometimes I still feel I should have one
yea I smoked from about a decade and once in a while it still smells really good…
Yeah, thanks for that…and yeah, you’re not the only one who was stupid…I did the same thing, went off them for a while and then went back on them. That addicted part of my mind kept telling me I could just keep it down to under 5 cigs per day no problem…of curse that little voice lied to me…but I knew it tbh, I just wanted to smoke again…which I did and immediately regretted it.
Anyway, this time round I’m not making the same mistakes…I’ve learnt my lessons, trust me.
Props to everyone trying to quit smoking. I havent been a smoker in over decade but it was vert hard to quit. I feel like I kinda “lucked” into some things that helped me quit.
Patches worked wonders for me, especially as having a cig while on patches might make you feel sick.
It’s important to lower the level of the patches slowly, then you’ll get to the point where you forget the patches and still forget to smoke.
Also, a cigarette diary helped in the early weeks, keep tab of when you smoked and every day remove one.
I did the quite-then start-again thing…it was stupid, but it was also stress, a whole lot of stress, and me trying to cope with it. I have since dealt with a good part of that stress, and am happy to say I have now gone 6 days without a cigarette. I started switching to vaping in July and have slowly been winding down the ciggies until now. I actually “quit” last Tuesday by accident, I did not realize until the end of the day that I has not smoked yet. Once I did, I was like “well, that was sooner than expected, but hey, let’s keep it up!” I am still fighting the urges a bit, but the vaping does help. It is the lesser of two evils.
(Technically yesterday but it was getting late)
LFO + Ringmod
Ringmod is up there w PWM as must have parameters on an ideal synth.
Just a little follow-up on the kicking smoking thing…3 days now without a cig…but I only have 3 weeks supply of Champix left. The pharmacist told me last Tuesday they have no more in stock and can’t get any either for the foreseeable future. Apparently there’s been a run on the stuff and supply hasn’t kept up with demand.
I’m not too worried about that, though, as I did it last time round on my own without the help of anything…so I figure after 3 weeks I should be over the initial rough phase.
Man, it already feels good to be off them.
unconsciousness
Lex Luthor and Lady Macbeth stopped bothering/stalking me…for now,
it seems like they lost interest once i stood up for myself.
It made me happy cause the only weird shit I’m posting on idmf nowadays is my music.
Getting closer to releasing track… when I get a piece to the point where it sounds good to me, even after listening to it several times in a row for several days in row… with tiny tweaks just for polish …
That makes me happy
I quit smoking again about a year ago. Instead now I’m addicted to boiled sweets and biscuits, so it’ll be the diabetes and not the emphysema that gets me.
