Shannon's Journal Discussion, Volume 7

[Steve_]

A couple more forum changes.. mostly bug fixes. The menu should show up normally for android and a handful of older phones now. Dark mode's editor now has white text, instead of black text on black background The latest subs now show up at the top of the forum on mobile followed by the 5 latest posts. The "extras" / forum stats are now at the bottom of the forum.

Cheers, that should wrap things up.. please contact me or post here if you have any issues.

@Shannon is everything okay?

Some people might have theme display issues today. As far as I can tell, it only applies if you logged out within the last couple days and havent logged in since then. It's related to cookies / caching, and should resolve itself within a day or so.

Why did the end of year sale ended so early? It lasted much longer last year.

This was a larger sale from what I recall. 45% off all titles except 5.9g and it didn't apply to subscriptions. What are you planning on running after AM6?

Still open to changing my mind. LTU6, E5, OF4, UH are possible paths.

The short answer is no, I can't unfortunately. Out with the old - welcome back everybody

There was a lot of gold from Shannon's replies in that thread esp. on UMSV2. 

I'm going to start copying his replies from now on.

There's just been a lot going on, business wise and in my personal life, and it's been very hectic and chaotic.  But we appear to be making progress regardless.

When you see a response you like for whatever reason, regardless of who it's from, that's a good idea.  We can't always know what's going to happen.

Hey @Shannon

Took a couple month break from Sub i used to run the old versions of DMSI from v2 to v3s few years back. recently got the urge to run the most current version v3.5 was doing some reading around the forum and was wondering what is it about 3.5v that it is turned off in the shop? Should i run the v3.5 or the one version before it?
Thanks

@Shannon in need of an advice

I have listened to the last LTU, run all stages, and now I have been listening stage 7 1.5 months and simply got bored ,I do not feel any much different, or probably the naturalizer made it that way, at times it was hardcore especially physically, and I have also lost weight both in fat and muscle because of been sick a couple of times (which is unusual for me, I rarely get sick), I am not saying that haves anything to do with LTU, but is weird, also i have absolutely no motivation for anything, maybe it is this tiredness, and everything what LTU is trying to achive.

Originaly after LTU I planed to listen ME ,but in the last couple of days that changed and want to switch to UH....

Any thoughts for that sudden change?

Also, how much pause should I take after LTU, and should I force myself to run LTU st.7 0.5 months more to be 2 months round?

DMSI v3.5 was taken down for both a lack of positive feedback in the beginning, and because I don't want people buying it before I release a different version.  It turns out that 3.5 works just fine as long as you use it properly, but a new version (Version 4.0) is being queued up for release, probably in January.  If you have 3.5, run that.

That makes me wonder if you're taking enough days off.  The nice thing about the multi-stage sets is, if you hit boredom with Stage 7, you can always just run through the previous stages again.  Having no motivation tells me that you have some part of you resisting out of fear, because it's on the verge of something that it doesn't want to do being about all that's left for it to do, so it's trying to hide by killing all motivation.  That also says to me that you should probably run through the first six stages again if you're going to continue with LTU.  Switching to UH may be a way of escaping, but UH isn't going to go easier on your subconscious.  On the contrary, it's going to go significantly harder, and be much less easy to escape from.  So switching isn't an effective means of escape, but it can't hurt to switch.

You don't have to force another half month run if you've hit boredom/null motivation.  That means you need a change.  I suggest you take a couple weeks off completely to let it bloom and then assess what you want to do next.
