  Insanity! I go so far as pants, too—I have Outside Pants for leaving the house, and as soon as I get home, I swap into my comfy Inside PJs. I’m not sitting on my nice chairs or bed wearing dirty ass Outside Pants!

  I never tried MXE! I wanted to as I have enjoyed ket in the past, but the times I was offered MXE, I just eas not in the right headspace/environment.

  Foxy is fucking insane. It had the normal visual and auditory hallucinations, but it’s the only thing I’ve ever tried that gave me full on temporal distortions. My partner-at-the-time and I were listening to familiar music. The music would get lower in pitch and streeeetch out, each individual note playing for longer and longer, until the tone went back to normal and the notes stopped being played for so long. When it was low and slow, our bodies got soooo heavy, we would just lay on the floor. When the notes got fast and higher pitched, our bodies would be light with energy. VERY weird stuff.

  I would be giggletown for HOURS

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The holy journey⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I took DOC back in the 00s (on purpose) and it was an extremely wild 20-some hours. Second weirdest thing I’ve done (the weirdest is Foxy by a WIDE margin,) but I still had a relatively good time due to having a great and comfortable set and setting. By hour ten, I was VERY ready to be done.

  Ugh I do not miss 25i. Put a blotter on my tongue, taste it IMMEDIATELY, spit that shit out.

  (This might have been mentioned and crooner definitely already knows this, but to others interested: LSD has zero taste at all. It just tastes like the paper it’s on (or gummy, faint grain alcohol if you’ve got a vial, etc)

  There was a huge PSU price hike in the early 2020s… They’ve since come down, but I did snag a Corsair 1KW Platinum for like 130USD on a sick sale back then JUST IN CASE.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Digital Foundry: Nvidia G-Sync Pulsar is a Motion Clarity Revelation⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree, but it sounds like this tech requires actual special hardware to pull off, rather than just a chip to say “you’ve got the right brand of video card,” which is always what G-Sync felt like (and is.)

  Mhm. It was liquid methamphetamine. His brother took a sip of it and said it tasted awful and spit it out. The dude ended up drinking the whole thing. Only the one can was liquid meth, his brother jut drank a normal beer. The dude who died was on the phone with his mom when he died D:

  Oh my gawd it’s best thing. Hospital was insane but very interesting and by the time I got home I was feeling pretty awesome… my boss told me to not think about work and that he set me up for a leave of absence I still get paid for with HR. I’m treasuring every day.

  Oh dear… I was in hospital a few weeks ago and I’ve been recovering at home. In the last two weeks I’ve manly played three games: 64 hours in the first, 50 hours in the second, and 10 hours in the third (that one was all in one day)

  I’d never use a thing like GeForce Now either way, but I’d be boned hahaha

  I saw a “NO SMORKING” sign on Engrish dot com circa 2001 or so

  Supporting giant evil DOES sometimes get you free stuff… I know folks who have accidentally been shipped multiple of what they’re ordering (in two cases, the items were quite expensive) and when they’ve brought it up, they were told to keep the extras.

  Maybe not worth the evil, but hey, free stuff is cool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple announces more ads are coming to App Store search results⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I love my iPhone, I’ve been using them for like 12 years (I loved Android but switched when physical keyboards stopped exiting cuz I liked iOS’s keyboard a lot, then fell in love with most of the rest of the OS and how long I could keep my phone for before replacing.)

  The one thing I absolute hate is the App Store. It’s insane. It’s so counter to the rest of Apple’s “simple stuff that works” … “ethos”. I use VERY few apps, I only have a couple installed on my phone. Say I want one, though. I open the App Store right now. Main page it dumps me on: 75% of the screen is a Tinder ad (I’ve never used a dating app and I’ve been with my partner for 15 years.) The rest of the screen space below that is a Google Gemini ad (I don’t use any Google products or services anymore, wtf Apple?)

  I click on the “Games” tab below and it’s an EXTREMELY busy, loud, colorful assault on my senses. Absolutely not! The “Apps” tab isn’t any better, huge ads take up 50% of the screen and below that, GET TIKTOK AND TINDER. Uhhhh no, never.

  Okay, let’s go to search. Click, and it gives me a search box at the bottom with some suggested apps and games I might like. I can appreciate that Apple’s data collection is allegedly a lot lighter than other companies, because none of the suggested shit is anything I would ever touch in my life. Let’s download one of the very few games I have on my phone: Ascension, a deck building game. I type “ascension game” and the first result is an AD FOR A WEIRD MEDICAL APP THAT DOESN’T SAY ASCENSION ANYWHERE AND HAS 70 REVIEWS WHYYYYY?!

  An absolute mess compared to the mostly great layouts of their other programs on the iPhone. I do not love the latest iPhoto UI change but I can deal with that. The App Store is fucked.

  I’ve used heaps of typewriters. My mum had an antique one when I was growing up that still worked and I loved it.
