    Been trying to remember if there’s an episode of a podcast I listen to that dealt with this (the modern mann, named for the host, it’s not male-focused, there’s a segment where Alix Fox talks about sex-related questions), and I think there’s a couple that are related but not precisely.

    Communication is definitely one of the things I know have been brought up as very important. Setting expectations and boundaries.

    This may be one of those topics I think you might have to browse reddit to get a lot of experienced/detailed answers for - /r/EthicalNonMonogamy would be the place to search, probably.

    It wasn’t enormous, but it was my first time on shrooms after trying several other psychedelics. I don’t remember the exact dosage, I think I had ground it up and put it in some small capsules to make measuring doses easier but I don’t think I ever tried the rest since the first wasn’t very pleasant. But like I said, people react differently, brain chemistry is complex.

    Anyway, I far preferred the feel of LSD. But I haven’t taken either in many years at this point, I don’t have enough free time for it, lol. My main problem with all of them is the time investment.

    I had a similar experience. Acid was chill. Felt great, music was wonderful. Snapped me out of my depression enough to make an appointment with my psychiatrist and get back on treatment. Downside was how long it lasts, mostly after you’ve come down and are unable to sleep for ages.

    Shrooms, on the other hand… I remember rolling on the floor, chewing on my desk, and completely forgetting who I was - but I could sort of remember a friend of mine who had amnesia from a bad motor accident, so I reasoned that I must be them. Plus I felt nauseous the whole time. Maybe a lower dosage would have been better but it’s not like I was trying to take enough to see god or anything. People react differently to everything, after all.

    Wasn’t traumatic or anything, but wasn’t helpful either. It was an interesting experience to have but I would not want to repeat it.




  • When it comes to 3D games, if they tried for realism, they can’t, IMO. Stylized 3D can look pretty good even when fairly old, but old 3D that tried for realism just looks dated. Even a lot of 3D games now that try for a more realistic style (outside of the huge AAA studios) look kinda bad to me, but I’m very sensitive to the uncanny valley effect. I mean, even before they updated the models and world, WoW still looked pretty decent long after release.
