Is there a secret sauce to make games fun again as a person of age?

>>720615430 (OP)
Stop jerking off. I'm serious.

Playing with regulars
Weed
Accepting that 99% of modern games are shit and there's nothing wrong with booting up Day of Defeat Source and playing on an Australian server at 4am.

>>720615623
something like this a dopamine fast

What does LSD feel like?
>>720615653
Heck, what does weed feel like?
My only reference is alcohol.

>>720616262
>what does weed feel like?
everything feels better until like 2 hours in and then you go to sleep

>>720615623

If I stop jerking off I go manic :(

>>720616372
>so accustomed to being perpetually drained that he thinks being normal is "manic"
sad

>>720616372
Yes, and?

>>720615430 (OP)
Weed is better than LSD. I mean, I played some FF7 Rebirth during an LSD comedown and it was amazing, but the substance last for ages and at some point it gets tiring, and I rather spend most of my time in nature, listening ti music and having an existencial crisis I guess. Meanwhile, weed just gives that extra to the senses and locks you in the sofa for hours, I cant remember the last time I played games without being high

>>720616775

That's indica, a good sativa is on level with speed/meth

>>720616262
>What does LSD feel like?
During the comeuo you get giggly and/or anxious, psychedelics make you feel waves of energy inside your body. It might give you visuals and/or synesthesia and the mindspace, for the lack of a better description, gets very trippy. It can get very weird and uncomfortable, let alone the agony of a bad trip. LSD has like a 1-2 hours come up, then 4-6 hours or so of actual trip, and then a comedown that can take ages, you get very stimulated. Ive taken it around 9 am and by 11 pm I still couldnt sleep despite feeling tired.

LSD>Mushrooms

>>720616868
I dont believe much in those kinds of categories, each plant and each situation makes it different to some extent.

>>720617098
Why? Shrooms last just long enough to wear off before bedtime after coming home from work and such. Can't do that with LSD.

>>720617098
I prefer shrooms because of this >>720617076. Just the process of disolving the blotter in your tounge and waiting for it to kick in takes almost an hour. Meanwhile I can lemon tek some dry shrooms and it kicks in after half an hour and lasts 4 hours at most

>>720617127
This. What ultimately matters is the THC:CBD ratio.

>>720616262
>Heck, what does weed feel like?
If you're in a legal area it's 100% worth a try, classic video game combo. It has similarities to alcohol, but less intoxicating and not the same kind of "stupid fun." You can run into anxious, unsettling thought loops and have a rough time. By the same token you may also immerse extremely well in vidya. And in my experience, its legalization removed a lot of the anxiety crap.

Psychedelics truly are the Dark Souls of drugs. 5-MeO-DMT is Sekiro.

"psychonauts" are such fucking midwits.
>Dude psychedelics lmao I'm destroying my mind and spirit and inviting demons to possess me lol
Please stop

I think you mean "machine elves"

>>720617428

Like where, Somalia?

>>720618014
That's Khat.

Which I would totally try. Looks comfy as fuck just sitting down while chewing.

>>720617852

>>720618014
Even better, Ohio.

>>720617428
>And in my experience, its legalization removed a lot of the anxiety crap.
I've had the opposite experience because around the same time people started breeding strains to have way too fucking much THC and not enough of the other stuff that balances it out.
A beginner takes one baby hit and gets completely zonked and then a lot of these strains have literally zero CBD to balance it out

for me it's kratom

>>720617732
>i've never tried this thing and don't like it but i can tell you exactly what it's about because i'm smart
wow sugoi pat pat

>>720620704
Actually I have tried this thing, which is why I know it's very bad and demonic.

>>720616372
Good. Gotta stay sharp.

>>720620908
i'm sorry you had a bad trip but it says more about you than the substance to be quite desu with you my family oniichan

I don't like how my skin feels on lsd
also turning on a stove makes me exhausted
such a strange drug

for me I abandon every game in like an hour or two, but there is the rare game I can't stop playing until I complete it. I think most modern games are dogshit

>>720621021
Actually I had what you would classify as "good' trips (the "goodness" was a facade). It was only after I reflected on how they were subtly affecting my behavior and thoughts long term when I realized they were actually sinister and vile.

>>720620908
>Demonic
Dumb Christcuck is afraid of his own mind's manifestations. Many such cases.

>>720621143
well bad for you then because i had good trips that changed my behavior positively and which i don't regret even years later

but if you reflected and realized then i guess it's all evil

>>720621435
bad things are bad and because i'm a good person it must be demons!

>>720615430 (OP)
Adderall + Weed

>>720621565
>but if you reflected and realized then i guess it's all evil
Yes. Psychedelics open your mind to influence from literal demonic entities. You might think you don't regret it, and that it helped you positively, but you're under their influence.

>>720621786
oh no!

>>720617076
If you're someone who gets panic attacks from weed but is fine on alcohol and nitrous is LSD a bad idea

>>720615430 (OP)
stop being a total pussy bitch.

>>720621786
It's called being a schizo. There are meds for that. You should consider taking them, because it shows.

>>720621786
It's hard for me to believe posts like this aren't larping/shitposting

>>720615430 (OP)
i've tripped plenty, both acid and mushrooms, but never really spend time playing vidya when tripping

>>720621830
As someone who has never had an adverse reaction to alcohol (excluding the withdrawal in the following days), I freaked the fuck out on psychedelics. Alcohol numbs you and suppresses your fear. Psychedelics do the exact opposite.

>>720615430 (OP)
why arent you having fun, could be countless reasons
hard to have any fun at all if your life sucks and you are stressed with bills and wageslaving

>>720622183
psychedelics are more emotional multipliers than anything else

>>720622067
Why?

>>720616262
Explaining how LSD feels is like explaining colors. Yeah someone can probably tell about some 'objective' physical sensations, visuals or about specific experiences they had but the actual feel of it just can't be fairly put into words and even if you do you know the person is not really going to understand it unless giving it a try.
Some drugs are one of those things I believe you have to try at least once before you croak.

>used to take LSD every week or every other week for years
>no longer get any visuals, regardless of the source of it, just lots of energy
>everyone else either immediately gets mind crushed or has nothing happen at all
It's kind of sad that no one I know wants to do acid anymore, they just smoke weed and drink.

>>720623563
got the message? put down the phone.

>>720616262
>Heck, what does weed feel like?
The first time you, the """autistic""" 4channer, get well and truly weeded, it'll be like seeing in a new dimension for the first time. You may try more afterwards and it won't have the same effect, at the very least for a while. It's daunting and will definitely freak you out, but is absolutely worth going through with if you can stomach it. Be absolutely sure you do it legally and are in a completely comforting environment with a totally clear headspace and no repressed sadness/anger/fear, even if you think it doesn't matter, which you will, and it will. If anything is wrong, you're immediately going to flip shit and bolt to the nearest organic being that can possibly help you, no matter how embarrassing it is or what the consequences are. In that context, remember that once it hits, if you're eating it, you can't back out for a good 4-6 hours at a standard dose.

Should I pursue other highs?

>>720623848
you can also just take bit less and have a mellow evening instead of a full blown psychedelic trip

>>720624082
mdma is fun, but only ever do it once in a while.

>>720624417
I thought weed was supposed to not be psychedelic, hence why you are "high" rather than "tripping".

>>720625786
it's something in between but definitely psychedelic. that's why you get people who say it's their "medicine" because they get to process emotions they usually suppress. but that feeling does go away quickly with enough tolerance

>>720616262
>What does LSD feel like?
There will be as many answers as there are people in the world you pose this question with. As for me, these sensations are common
>First hour
>Waves of nervousness, despite having done this over 100 times at this point
>An emerging "giddy" feeling, like being excited on Christmas morning waiting for your family to wake up so the unwrapping may begin
>Tingling sensations in my legs, tendency to clench my jaw, permagrinning
>Comeup hours 2-3
>Rollercoaster has crossed the apex and the trip is now really commencing
>Every breath feels extremely euphoric, filled with a divine sense of gratitude to be a thing existing
>Small details of objects will begin to melt and move around, breathe and return as they were just a moment ago
>Text on screens will wiggle and pace around, the most miniscule specs of dust against a white surface may appear like a wave of ants marching and dancing
>Music transcends being an auditory stimulus; songs will become like lazyboy chairs on which to sit on, rest, and discover whatever meaning you couldn't discern before
>Hours 3-6
>The effects are now at their peak. It's not becoming stronger, but it's not going away for a long time either
>Visions of sacred geometry may appear overlayed in your visual space
>Moments of eternity passing through God's living room
>Pure euphoria, interconnectedness. Life is love, and it connected us all.
>Sensory oddities escape the ability of language to identify them
>Hours 8-12
>The LSD slowly and compassionately begins to say its farewell's
>A clean, "crispy" sensation comes on, the chaos of the trip begins to fade away
>After a good while one begins to slowly calm down, rational daily life topics and logic begin to reinstall themselves
>Watch comfy dog videos on youtube, fall asleep
I mostly do it at forest psy raves these days, but character limit is already probably surpassed. Give it a shot if you're a healthy dude!

>>720618160
i've straight opening up my bussy my hole life for demons, no takers, hey maybe its me.

>>720615430 (OP)
I had a lot more fun playing games when I was a stoner. I think I might have ADD or something. I just don't think anything is that interesting. When I was a stoner though, I thought everything was interesting. It really does make "doing nothing" way more enjoyable. Just like a general lazy time life enhancer.

Acid, on the other hand, is just awesome. Microdosing, everything you do is the funnest fucking thing you've ever done. I love it. Haven't done it in a long time, but it was immensely enjoyable. It's way more in your face than weed though. If you play video games on acid or while microdosing, you probably want it to be a very active and engaging activity that you are already familiar with, like maybe a fighting game or something. You really want to be DOING something, but whatever it is will be super fun and you'll be incredible at it.

worst misinfo of the decade
nnn is such a big scam it's not even funny

>>720615430 (OP)
try playing good games instead of bad ones

>>720623848
This is probably the most accurate and sincere description I’ve seen about edible weed in a while. People think it’s like hitting a joint and chilling on the couch laughing at cartoons, but that first edible trip hits like you got zapped into the mirror dimension. You’ll start questioning if you’ve always blinked like that, if your closet faked being real, and why the microwave is “breathing.” You will become one with the anxiety loop until the weed gods decide you've suffered enough and banish you back to the realm of snacks and guilt. Respect the herb or get humbled, simple as.

>>720617732
You really have no idea of how they work do you? They are more likely to make you more spiritual, and you have to abuse them to a crazy degree for them even to come close to destroying your mind

>>720630861
go on a trip and then tell me that you've escaped anything

>>720615430 (OP)
w-whats going on there

>>720631340
the time knife is folding on itself

>>720630861
Quite the opposite. It's to make reality more engaging instead of escaping through video games.

>>720616262
Weed feels like every thought and experience gains weight and meaning. I like reading something about significant historical events, because weed immerses you into those events as you read about them. Same with vidya

>Been clean off weed for a month due to the job search I'm doing
>No real 'withdrawal' symptoms or cravings but I don't particularly feel any better, sleep patterns are even shittier and I feel worse mostly because the job search is not going well at all & I've exhausted all industry contacts who don't have jobs for me either
All the articles and posts online told me If I quit weed I would be emotionally present and happy and have a gf and get superpowers and become rich. Instead my life has gotten worse. I feel gipped.

>>720627771
who is benefitting from the scam

>>720634204
Dudebro influencers who get ad revenue and sponsorship deals by selling "life advice" to young men, most of which is tabloid nonsense.

Remember that person on /fit/ who told people to eat raw onions in order to boost T levels? That was an actual scam by someone because he thought it would be funny seeing people eat raw onions and make up bullshit about how "I'm feeling stronger already!"

Most of the other life tips a lot of Tiktok/X influencers peddle aren't outright malicious like that was, but they're sort of in the same vein in that most of the time they work purely as a placebo. "Scam" is a harsh word but most of the time they're hardly based on any real studies.

>>720634728
NTA but You're so fucking wrong bro. Not fapping does improve your life in so many ways. Unless you've tried it yourself for at least a month, you can't say that it's BS.
