Yeah they make them more fun.

>drink beer
>have fun and play online shooters
>go to sleep
>wake up with a headache (maybe)
vs
>smoke weed
>have a panic attack and feel like there's a second voice in my head that's telling me I'm going to die and that everything around me is fake
>convince myself I'm having a stroke or something, can't sleep the room just feels like it's spinning and i think about calling an ambulance
>wake up the next day thanking God he got me through that experience
Yeah, idk

feels like weed makes me appreciate games much more
like I'm far more likely to not skip on dialogues or cutscenes and just enjoy them. normally I'm so impatient and eager to rush things. but with weed I can do things like stop to enjoy the scenery or have some fun doing silly things that don't advance the game in any way

it sucks because I legit wish I could just do that normally. but weed makes me feel like a kid playing games again, where they're magical worlds and not just a bunch of checklists of objectives that need to be completed so I can move on to the next game

>wake up with a headache
Psh, okay, grandpa.

>>716008882
Sounds like you might have schizophrenia

>>716008882
panic attacks are common on any psychostimulant
be glad that it's impossible for weed to kill you, as the overdose effects do not affect any vital system of the body.
just smoke less and you won't feel any negative effects

The only thing that improves my gameplay experience is adderall.

>>716008431 (OP)
I pop an ativan and adderal before playing ranked SF6. The adderal gears me up to lock in and the ativan calms the nerves so I don't end up hyperfocusing and over reacting.

weed isn't addictive i can quit whenever

I like drugs but I don't use them anymore. Rather spend my money on other stuff. No encouraging or discouraging anyone from using them.
>Did it make gaming better?
nah, but it made grinding out these products easier. I didn't think about the time usage.

For me weed and vr is one of the coolest experiences. If I want to socialise I just add some alcohol to the mix and feels like heaven
That said, weed plus games that require reaction or remembering stuff can get tricky to play, sometimes.

Clear sign of schizophrenia and/or an extremely weak mind with a ton of trauma and baggage
Skill issue

>>716008431 (OP)
Weed can be fun with video games. Especially with slow single player games. Death Stranding is a great example. Kojima's shit is pretty great when baked. I don't touch alcohol or other substances so idk.

Not sure if you're memeing but you can't psychically get addicted to weed. People who get addicted to it are just mentally attached to it. Weak wiled, it's all it is. I'll use some in winter times but not really during good weather because I'm outside more and drive around a lot.

t. haven't smoked in over 2 months with 0 urges

The only time I played games while high was playing Battlefield. For once I stopped caring about winning or doing well and just walked around the edges of the map enjoying the scenery. It was bliss. Then it wore off and I was back to PTFO PTFO PTFO PTFO
I fucking hate my brain it's like just enough fucked up to be anal about everything but not enough to have anything officially wrong with me so that I have an excuse

>>716008431 (OP)
nah
I just end up not playing anything, instead scrolling and watching youtube all night

>>716008431 (OP)
it just made me paranoid as fucking hell, terrible experience would not recommend.

>>716008431 (OP)
Gaming is about skill. At least it was until the same ideological subversives who pushed for cannabis legalization got a hold of the industry a decade ago...

>>716011194
it's called "use less of it"

Probably was Killer7 over 2 or 3 acid trips over a month or so. Really immersive, especially with headphones in a dark room.

It's gaming time

>>716011383
I'd rather smoke a joint with some friends on some couch coop bullshit than pretend 'esports' didn't destroy multiplayer gaming.

Skills great, you're never going pro though. Even if you do, you would have made more money working part time at mcdicks.

Of course they can but if you use them too much you become reliant on them and suddenly you can't enjoy vidya without them even though you could before.

>>716009016
ok so what do I do about it??

>>716008431 (OP)
just like it's better to be dead than alive, it's better to be drunk than sober

>>716014382
>with friends
Holy cuck

>>716016157
I too was 16 once

>AHH I'M BOOMING
Gen X made a game which is a possible timeline where boomers never existed

I used to take acid and spend all night on tf2 surf servers laughing my dick off at mic spam and sentry camping...

Ah take me back to 2008

>>716008431 (OP)
Absolutely yes. When I trip on mushrooms im literally unbeatable in street fighter, I become a meta god. I can read the subtlest of movements and react with perfect timing, like im seeing it in slow motion. Its fucking amazing. Other than that I dont like gaming much while tripping, but something about the competitiveness of fighting games is incredible to feel.

Extroslop
I've done roids, adderall and weed and got shripped, built an earthship and made a game

It's like being Indian
Thank the Lord I'm an IntroGod like Aeschylus
