Alrighty, let's roll.
Hybrid Trickling Stream FLAC, headphones, -20dB volume adjustment as per Foobar's indicator.
Feels very smooth so far. I'll go and strut my stuff around town a bit once I'm done with my loops for the day.
[EDIT: Never mind, appears to have been taken care of already]
Finishing up my third loop, one more to go. Noticeable things: started going hungry about 10 minutes of listening time in, even though I've just eaten before putting the program on. Going to have to eat something after. Started getting very, very warm soon thereafter as well, and still feel warm. Got a neat little buzz going throughout my body, it's subtle but it's there. Sensations as if my feet were getting "closed up" energetically (I remember these from UMS as well - it may be related to the shielding, I think?). Got sleepy sometime around the second loop, took a nap because why the hell not. Didn't fall into deep sleep, noticed a dream of some sort going on. Still feeling warm and feel some buzzing behind my eyes. Flashes of sudden, strong sexual arousal which come and go.
All in all, this feels very smooth for me for now, especially for a DMSI release!
Funnily, after waking up from my nap-time I now have the Queensryche song "Revolution Calling" going through my head (by the by, I put the titular song of this here lovely journal as its title because I've had it going on "constant looping listening" mode for the past week or so. It's usually significant with me when this happens
). So now I'm going to link it up here so that y'all have it stuck in your heads as well.
Loops are done for today, now going to take a shower and go for a stroll about town, heheh.
Anyroad, I feel as if I had been doing cardio these past 4 hours - that's how much heat I'm giving off right now, lol.
Actually I somehow ended up at a posh-hip party where I didn't know anyone (seriously, lol). Noticed quite a bit of responses-interest from females. Noticed an extremely strong celebrity vibe. Noticed I was very "cool, calm, collected", lol.
Before that, I believe I experienced some thoughts related to FRMing, mostly in response to increased attention from people in general, f. in. drunken males in big groups (it was an extremely crowded Saturday night downtown, even for this city).
Pretty strong for first day listening. Continuing on the morrow.
Hmm. Not feeling too sunshine and rainbowy today; perhaps it's just that the FRM is doing its job under the hood, we'll see.
Anyroad, chilling today, putting my loops on in a minute, tomorrow I'll go for some bardic practice and library stalkage, lol.
My mood has improved a bit once I put the sub on; elected to increase the volume a little bit, to what foobar says is -15db now. Getting hungry and warm yet again; this sub is making my metabolism go crazy fast, apparently.
All that energy is going somewhere, so...
Had the opportunity for solo bardic practice today for the first time in, like, two weeks (as I was busy implementing my bardic practice... in practice
), it all went very well and I noticed an upswing in mood after. I'd call my mood somewhat "libidinal".
Noticing an interesting phenomenon. As I'm walking around town, doing whatever, I'll sometimes get this "pang" which is like "whuh?", which then makes me turn around or something, and usually there's an extremely attractive woman there, even if but for a couple of seconds.
Mebbe it's the SRS letting me know "would you look at that!"
Experiencing an elation akin to the "morphine drip" effect. That's still in, right?
About to set up my loops of DMSI for the day. My gut seemed to be telling me to try 6 loops at -25db as per foobar (so basically the settings I ended up using with UMS), but I'm thinking maybe I should try the modeled ASRB for some time first, just to be sure.
As I was going beddy-bye yesternight, upon finishing my DMSI loops, I got this very strong, light and wonky sensation throughout my body, and it was accompanied by very strong brainwave activity (strong enough that I could physically feel it, and even hear it a bit). Stuff like that would sometimes happen as I was using DMSI in the previous versions, but it would usually take a good several months of very intensive usage for that to start occurring (I remember the first time this happened was on ver. 2.4). Interesting!
Gonna go do a bit of shopping today, I need a couple new pairs of pants and maybe a shirt or two, if I find any I like. I am also intending to acquire a hair-grooming device of some sort, to make grooming go faster and give better results. I have also started working on whitening my teeth a notch some time back, and it's going pretty decently. I did acquire an actual teeth-whitening strip thingy, and it says this should be done every other month tops. So I guess it's not that big of a hassle to try it out.
Acquired a pair of pants and two snazzy shirts. I did not go for the grooming device, so I'll try to do that tomorrow if I have the time. I noticed I got a bit tired and sleepy after shopping for the clothes, so now I'm back home and about to set up my loops for the day.
I will possibly be meeting with a female of my acquaintance tomorrow, but that depends on whether she wants to meet in public or at her place.
So, umm, funny that. It would appear that my subC likes the first two loops of DMSI at volumes of between -25db to -20db as per foobar, and the latter two loops at volumes of between -15db to -12db.
Because if I stick to one of the two volume settings throughout, I get stronger "execution indicators" as far as I can feel them either during the first two or the last two loops, and if I switch the settings during the pause in audio at the end of loop 2... the "execution indicators" remain constant throughout.
Could be something, could be nothing. Nevertheless, I'm having fun.
