It’s my escape albeit an unhealthy one. I smoked from 23-25, dipped from 26-31 on and off alternating with vaping. I quit for a few months completely and now here I am smoking cigs again. A relative came to town and she smoked so I bummed a few a different times for the extended social interaction since I don’t see family much due to distance. It spiraled and I’m about 5 packs and a month later. What kills me is my wife started smoking with me. For a bit it was nice to get the one on one escape I admit. But I need to do better for my wife and family. I don’t know what’s stopping me. I suppose I’m just afraid of losing that getaway.
My highest Xmult was from lucky cat. If I have hanging chad with any other retrigger joker and see lucky cat, I’m all inning on the lucky cat build. It’s too much fun when it takes off.
He had said that it is almost unheard of before 30 for any unexpected cases. He was incredibly confident that I was ok. He was actually referring me to a stomach dr because I was having trace amounts of blood in stool, loss of weight and fatigue. Turns out the blood was just something that happened for a little bit and went away. I got it checked out and they found nothing but left me with, sometimes the body fixes itself before they can.
Either way, my anxiety was presenting in its usual ugly way plus it made me really feel the symptoms I did have weren’t related to anxiety when in fact they were.
31m here. Had a colonoscopy at 26 due to the anxiety. It does run in males on my dad’s side so I’d have to start getting them at 34 anyway, but it gripped me hard enough that I experienced the night of a thousand waterfalls with fly fishing in the morning (that’s what my dad calls the whole process).
In my experience, if I would’ve sat down and talked to the dr beforehand, I’m not sure I’d have done it. The results after the colonoscopy were normal and honestly it helped but not as much as I’d thought due to it more likely happening later anyway. It turns out that colon cancer is pretty dang detectable and treatable.
Please visit your doctor and go by what they recommend. It will give you peace of mind and give the control over to a medical professional rather than giving control to your anxiety and spending nights playing google doctor (that’s what I did anyway).
The flan episode, Doc Gerbil, and freaky Fred along with this episode never failed to give me uncomfortable vibes as a kid.
I need to go back and have a courage marathon.
I swear I win mediocre runs all the time but if I get a god roll early on that I can actually afford, I’ll lose the run by getting greedy.
And I stand by that during a night of adult revelries with beverage and smoke in hand, I am not stumbling past the kids rooms to use the bathroom and the sink is a tactical choice.
The other day I had an amazing wee joker setup, it was double wee joker, hanging chad, hack, hiker and a negative hiker on plasma deck. It didn’t make it past ante 11 but having 2’s that by themselves would give 100+ chips was awesome.
This is hilarious, love your stuff! I feel like this would be a pretty difficult/risky bit to pull off, but sheesh, you nailed it!
My thoughts went to “they got mud in the tra….ooohhh”
I agree that it’s harder to get online. I think a remake of the deck would be the best alternative because the way it stands, in my opinion the only balancing options would make it either under or overpowered.
Would be cool if there was a deck that instead of hand and discard turn modifiers, it could make them into draw and discard modifiers. Like draw more per draw or discard more per discard. Hand size, hands, and discard turns would be a static amount.
Sounds like a genesis deck, genesis being a binding of Isaac item. It’d be a cool reference
About 250, two adults, 26 and 31.
We just started dabbling in concentrates and infused stuff so that actually cut costs down from around 500.
Lookin like the Succubus from VHS, in beast form
Anyone have input or advice for a beginner using a nail?AskTrees
I’ve recently delved into concentrates over the past weekend for the first time. I picked up the straw thing (a nail I think) from a local shop. It’s called a lookah. I’ve just been heating the tip to red, waiting for it to cool a second and then vaporizing the concentrate.
I know it’s a basic description but it’s a basic process. Anything I should know or that I’m doing wrong? Also I noticed some of the concentrate goops up on the inside after a sesh. Am I good to scrape that out and smoke that too?
It’s two bears high-fiving
Ever since I started smoking, it’s helped me tremendously with workout recovery and OMAD. My stomach gets upset when dieting, especially with only one meal, but smoking settles it and helps me to keep pushing.
Ankhing madness and then filling my slots with eternal jokers that fit my build is what got me both my first gold chip run and ante 12 run. Turns out that madness still gains that .5 multiplier per blind even if it can’t actually destroy the joker. So eternal plus this was prime. Both were x13 by the end of the run
I haven’t tried a high card run. Perhaps I’ll give it a go if I see that joker early enough
Just had this happen last night. I was able to ankh a polychrome madness. With eternal jokers I was able to get into ante 12. This is the build that got my first gold stake victory as well! Lots of fun, just multipliers on multipliers!
All I could think when reading this was “ah shit, I forgot to get goat milk again”
This is why I stopped playing really. I’ll get on it once a year and play a few days and set it down again. I played nonstop from beta until year 3. I attribute it to my friends moving on and me being the only one left that would deal with the frustration out of love for the game.
Petition to have this removed lol
