6G Bonanza J & RM vol. 4 (EPHRA v7 + DRS v2) - Have at ye - 07-27-2025
Well, it turns out I have at least a month until rehearsal so I'm actually gonna use it for EPHRAing. I know a full run-through is two months but I believe I should be able to get a lot done anyway.
It feels *really great and relaxing*, like all the provocations I'm being exposed to are getting healed up. It's also making me very calm.
I've been on edge for a pretty long time now and I can feel the stress falling off.
Way better for now than X4A because I can still feel the DRS working overtime anyway. I'm wondering how long it's going to take for certain individuals to realize that trying to break my boundaries or manipulate me, or otherwise sabotage my life, is an extremely stupid idea, lol.

Are you listening to the new BONUS track for EPHRA 6G?
RE: 6G Bonanza J & RM vol. 4 (EPHRA v7 + DRS v2) - Have at ye - 07-27-2025
Nope, sticking to the main one for now. I honestly do not have the emotional or mental capacity right now to give the experimental ones a proper go and give worthwile feedback.

Thank you, friend! @ncbeareatingman
I'm just gonna Keep On Rockin' in the Free World, I guess, hahaha.

Oh yeah, healing-wise, judging by dreams and wonky sensation, EHPRA's picked up right where OGSF left off, but I'm feeling way better (and am still quite horny) for which I credit primarily the DRS.
So I should be able to remain functional while healing and all that.
Good stuff!

It's going well with EPHRA v7. As usual when switching progs I'm now kinda sleepy, but I don't mind because I've been pretty keyed up lately, so now I get to rest and relax a bit.
On the DRS front, it seems like the aggressive locals finally decided to chill the F O for now. Still staying alert though.
Otherwise doing my thing.

I'm lovin' this new EPHRA in 6G and I think I made the right choice to use it for a month now. It's extremely relaxing and it's really working through stuff.
I do still get moments when I start feeling like I'm slipping again mental-health wise (by the by, I've been off all meds since December at least) but these usually pass *after I play DRS afterwards*. Screw you guys, enjoy your just desserts, lawl.

I've noticed that some people initially resist the impact of the DRS and may even act more aggressively or passive-aggressively at first. There are some people who are so emotionally reactive or hard-headed that they push back even harder before eventually backing off. Sometimes I see conversations go dark or people get really scummy before a sudden shift in behavior, and there were definitely times where I believed that the DRS wasn't working, but it was more so that the person in question just needed to get blasted enough times to stop attacking. For example, my mom was hostile and passive-aggressive for a long stretch—our conversations got shorter and colder—but after one to two weeks of consistent DRS, she finally cooled off and returned to baseline. It seems that there are some people who get hit quickly and run for the hills, and others who attack repeatedly like mindless, rage-filled zombies until the DRS puts them down.
Questions for you @Have at ye :
- Do you ever sense that "knockout moment" when someone loses momentum mid-conflict?
- In real time, can you tell when the DRS "lands" and they start self-checking?
- What’s the typical timeline you’ve observed between escalation and detachment?

Oh man.
This really, really depends on who you're dealing with.
Some will KTFO themselves promptly, others - the more clever ones - are going to try to use other, more manipulative means and f. In. Try to use proxies and such to try to get rid of the negativity and try to harm you anyway. This was the main drawback of DRS v1 (because it did not protect against this really, and accumulation could make the shield fail temporarily which was kinda hardcore), but DRS v2 works for this type of horseplay as well, it can simply take a little bit more time.
Some will try to escalate until they end up in a really, really bad spot, though.
Some will sense the pushback instantly and then relent and pretend like they're your best friends, lol.

And by "knockout" I mean a literal "knockout". Like almost to the point of losing consciousness.

Good stuff, man. Thanks for the detailed answer. I haven't seen the proxy stuff yet (thankfully), but I have seen the shield be more capable of fighting off hard-headed people who repeatedly try to attack. The greatest improvement is in the lack of energy drain, which was exacerbated by knuckleheads. I'm overdue for a report on DRS v2 but I am happy to see you and NC getting good use out of it as well!
RE: 6G Bonanza J & RM vol. 4 (EPHRA v7 + DRS v2) - Have at ye - 08-01-2025
Funny thing. It would appear that what DRS v2 is doing for me in the present externally, EPHRA v7 is doing for the past (but internally).
The aggro locals have backed off altogether for now. And now everybody's being extremely respectful and polite. Good stuff.

Yeah, that "attack by proxy" usually takes the form of vicious, dangerous slander (you wouldn't believe me if I told you some of the disgusting stuff people have been telling about me behind my back - to the point of it getting really, really dangerous. Fortunately, I have DRS v2 and am pretty intimidating when I want to. But I do not like walking around looking all scary an' shit because *this shit scares off decent women* and attracts literal crazies, haha).
