I wasn’t before but you’ve inspired me. I’m easily influenced.

[–] turtlepower@lemm.ee 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yes. Loading up No Man's Sky. My wife just cleaned my piece for me. She's so thoughtful and loving. Gonna take a couple tokes of fresh green from a clean bubbler as this planetary system finishes loading.

Yo post an update for us in a little bit. πŸ‘πŸ» 🌳

[–] turtlepower@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

I'm back from outer space lol

[–] CrimeDad@lemmy.crimedad.work 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Very nice. Do you need a paid subscription to PSN to really play that game?

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I’m thinking about getting my parents, both in their 70s, a pair of oculus quests so they can explore the galaxy together.

Yoda voice

They will be.

They will be.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Dad is, she’s not. She’s all about new things though. She microdoses mushrooms regularly, travels a lot, likes wearable gadgets.

[–] turtlepower@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

You are a good offspring. (Son? Daughter?) It has been my dream since I was little to go into space. VR NMS would be the closest I'd ever get. If you did this for me as your parent, you will have won at being the best child ever.

Would definitely see if they get motion sick first

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

That’s what the vomit bags are for

If you play it on PC it's just a one-time purchase - all the online features are provided free on Steam or GoG. And the actual universe is cross-platform, so you can still play with friends on consoles!

From everything I'm seeing, it's more stable in PC, too, depending on the type of toaster you're trying to play it on. Definitely invest in s good PC and keep it spec'd up. Makes it nice for other games, too.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I have viral brain fog if that counts.

[–] CrimeDad@lemmy.crimedad.work 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

As in from COVID? I'm really sorry about that.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

No, it's alright, it's not covid-related. I did have covid in the past but that's all done.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh shit that sucks. What virus? Are you eating antiviral foods?

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Something that runs in my family. It's not a huge deal, just something I deal with occasionally.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is it constant or intermittent?

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Intermittent.

[–] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm not, but have a good one!

[–] willya@lemmyf.uk 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I had a friend when I was younger we called blaze. He stayed high.

[–] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago

Good to see around man

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

I’m not but I’ll fix that soon. Just got home from work.

[–] AttackBunny@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

More than a little.

[–] Dave_r@reddthat.com 3 points 2 years ago

Tentatively raises hand...

[–] coldv@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Not yet but you just reminded me. Now where did I put that pipe?

[–] eddietrax@dmv.social 3 points 2 years ago

You don’t even know how high I can fly

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago

No, but I was definitely more than a little tipsy when I came into work tonight.

[–] BromSwolligans@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

But if white widow earlier. But of strawberry cough also earlier but less earlier.

[–] Sylver@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

If I’m home, I’m stoned. If I’m at work, I’m only β€œa little bit” stoned!

[–] kuneho@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

will be in few minutes ;)

[–] theangriestbird@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Me? Always. Where's the Lemmy r/trees community?

[–] dingus@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I wish my tolerance wasn't so high and that it helped the pain more.

[–] kava@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah weed doesn't help with pain whatsoever for me. Kratom does though. And that also helps with sleep. A nice tall glass of kratom powder mixed with water right before bed is great

[–] Shdwdrgn@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Maybe a better balance with CBD? Try mixing different strains together, sometimes the properties work together better than any single strain. Unfortunately this is going to vary depending on your local grows, what options you have available, and your particular type of pain. I know what helps me sleep at night is vastly different from what my wife uses for daily pain.

Also it does help to take a day off now and then to let your system purge so you don't completely insensitive to the benefits. Definitely a hard day to get through, but it makes a difference.

[–] marco@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Am I the only one who gets 0 benefits from CBD?

[–] cnnrduncan@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

I used to think that until I tried going without my prescribed cbd oil and I definitely noticed that I was a bit more anxious and had more unwanted side effects from the flower that I'm also prescribed!

Agreed.

I keep my tolerance (and intake) low. I don't care about getting high, I just need to sleep better. I occasionally have some when it's not right before bed if I'm having a bad day re mental health but keep that a very, very low levels. I liken it to having a single beer.

When you do this, you get the health benefits (physical and mental) without negative effects, or at least that is how it works for me.

[–] Rinnarrae@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Me! + a bit of hard cider in the mix

[–] beizhia@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Not right now, but I will tomorrow I promise

[–] NightAuthor@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Anything more than like 2.5mg seems to put me in a dysfunctional state where my short term memory is just… idk how to describe it other than completely and utterly fucked.

Idk if it’s just my genes, or ADHD or both, but my wife can tank edibles even as the petite little thing she is.

[–] CrimeDad@lemmy.crimedad.work 1 points 2 years ago

I find that if I let myself get more than a little bit stoned, then I will feel cranky or even hungover the next day. A little bit goes a long way for me.
