Vs real-life GT ‘sober’:Also, while booze could enhance your skills at Halo or Resi4.
GT7 it does not

I feel like I’m reading something I would have talked about in grade 11

I get drunk and play games all the time. For first person shooters it actually makes my aim significantly better (calms my hands with smoother aim apparently), but my decision making skills go to shit.
I will run into the entire team, kill one or two but get mowed down in bad spots. It’s the trade off I guess.

Yes. Too many To get into. One of the most memorable is playing Soul Calibur waiting for some acid to kick in. Oh god, the beauty of the graphics as it crept up my spine was jaw dropping…. Even after we were tripping too hard to even conceive of the concept of “playing a video game”, we left the demo mode running all night. My god!
You’d be wrong, lol.
I don’t think I’ve ever been to a LAN party where there wasn’t copious amounts of liquor and reefer. Been a looong time though…For competitive in-person local mulitplayer games, I drink to handicap myself if it's a game that I'm better at. It's only fair.

There’s a magic spot about 3/4 drinks in when I become a god at FIFA online and I just fuck about and end up beating all that challenge me but probs lasts about 5 games then I’m just doing dumb shit like getting my whole team reds.
I recommend taking Keaton sparingly. The withdrawals are NOWHERE near as severe, but you will become physically addicted just like with opiates/opioids if you take it every day..I'm almost always on at least two (2) drugs when I'm gaming. Then maybe I'll have a drink too. I don't do many things to excess but I do them daily. I'm just generally a man filled with too much energy, so smoking a doobie helps with that. Kratom I use to get energy after work and reduce anxiety/help my stomach.
The other night I vaped this e-liquid my flatmate got and I was like weeeeeee and took like 10x massive puffs and I got so high I was talking to another version of myself internally, solved some issues, was pretty helpful lol. Then I was watching a twitch stream and I thought the streamer was an actual tiny man in a box on the TV so I decided to go to bed
Wait, what? They did? Well, I know what I’m going to be checking out soon!After GT7'S 120FPS update... It's all of the above for me
200 grams wet or dry? Even wet, there ain’t no way you were capable of playing a video game on that. Unless HawaiIan mushrooms hardly have any psilocybin in them.Two hundred grams of Hawaiian magic mushrooms, whilst playing Vietcong on the PC. I had to get my girlfriend to physically pull me away from the screen as I was convinced I was bleeding out severely.

Games on weed is amazing...like 15 year old me blazing up and playing tekken with my buds. Or Tony hawks...
or, eating some edibles and binging xenoblade chronicles in my 40s....yep, amazing.
I stopped doing drugs for like 20 years, then I recently got back into edibles and I love them. Gaming is awesome when high.

Yup, that’s the euphoria period then the burnout happens after, everything is downhill from there.

Nah sorry. Never been drunk, never been intoxicated and never been high and never will be. I care too much for myself and have very high standards of living unlike 90% of the population.

Wet and they certainly do. I was having fun until they properly kicked in! Back in my late teens I'd really go full throttle on shrooms.

That's just getting older. It does that shit to every one and it only feels faster as time goes by.

Do you imply misusing heavy doses of ambien combined with said miss using of benzodiazepines for about a decade is the same as "getting older" ?? Just want to be sure of what your implying.

My wife had a business networking event at a barcade a while back. She's not really into video games and ended up getting obsessed with beating House of the Dead(?) after she had a couple of drinks. Between the piss-poor accuracy of the light guns and a few pints of beer, I don't think we beat it but we got close.
Oh man… that is equivalent to 20 g dry. RESPECT. I bet you saw the Alpha and the Omega that day! Most I EVER took at once was 6 dry grams of home grown cubensis. OMG the things I saw… it LITERALLY changed my religion overnight! Hand to God, the only psychological experience that affected me more, down to my soul, is watching my first born son pop out my (now ex) wife’s coot. And this was literally decades ago.Wet and they certainly do. I was having fun until they properly kicked in! Back in my late teens I'd really go full throttle on shrooms.
You are insulting him. I’m old, and that does happen, But nowhere to the extent that abusing benzos and abusing Ambien do. Back in my wild days, those were stuff I never took more than a few times a year, because they are hard like that.
He’s either joking or hasn’t the slightest clue of what he is talking about.

It was hard to put into terms for me after my own experiences (it was a quarter pound dry) but this comes close:

Weed, booze and skittles when payday 2 was young, we ended up clocking almost 1000h in a couple years. Also countless arams in league.
I remember playing through fear 3 in one night in a lan sleepover, can't remember the story though. And several other games in the past 15 years

Yessir. Tried it out earlier this week. Visually I wouldn't say it makes much difference, but it's more about feel imo
Well, it’s official… you are my brother from another mother! After I had my heavy trips, I went crazy reading through both philosophical and/or religious literature desperately trying to make sense out of what I had experienced. For context, I was a hard core atheist at the time. I finally stumbled upon a book by Alan Watts, named “The Book on the Taboo Against Knowing You Are”. It put into words what I had saw (which I thought was impossible to do). It is VERY similar to that video you linked. VERY. If you haven’t read it, go read it, you’ll love it. Between that book and Buddhism, I was finally able to make peace with what I had discovered about my perception of the nature of reality and move on with my life, graduate college, get a job, yada yada yada. Yay!
That’s all I‘m going to write here publicly, I sent you a private message saying much

My TV won’t do 4K at 120 hz, only 60 hz, so I’ll have to drop it to 1080p, but it’ll be worth it. You are right, 120 hz FEELS so much better.

My wife took a tab of acid and played ori, which she has never played before. In fact, I've hardly ever seen her play a platformer. Anyway she decides to try ori while the acid is rolling on and she gets to a part where you have to do like four wall jumps with a little slide down between each one. She didn't actually know what to do and just stopped. So I took the controller and crossed the gap to show her then I ran ori back to the start. She took the controller and did it on the first try. I was surprised to say the least. I'm pretty sure she couldn't normally do that and something about tripping made it no problem.

Yeah, my bad I guess. Jesus Christ, you guys are sensitive though. I won't make half assed comments about getting older then.

Just enough alcohol can actually improve your performance by reducing any nervousness and increasing confidence.
I like to drink and play games, as I usually play socially with friends online. I used to drink and play SFIV all the time and would play way better after some drinks. I'd often pre-game at the local "arcade" (it was more of a game center) and go out for the night afterwards.

I really wanted to smoke weed and play tyrian 2000 when I had just gotten out of high school. I ended up realizing that I hate smokin the reefer.
Didnt end up having fund with Tyrian. I was hoping at the time that it would be like going back to childhood. I am relatively sure I am allergic to THC.

Naa, my bad, I didn’t meant to sound like I was offended. It’s ok, getting older sucks!

After a few drinks with a buzz I would play fighting games. If I'm full on drunk though, hell no I cant play shit without starting to feel ill.

Probably 9 years ago, got blackout drunk and must have been emotional, played Dead Space 3 for a few hours. Was found on the floor curled up in the fetal position and upset about something. Not my most shining moment. Perhaps all that necromorph slaying and jacked up stuff happening to Isaac got to me or maybe it triggered some PTSD from my time in the military. Come to think about it, Isaac does go through a ton of trauma. Probably not a good idea.
I do recall some more pleasant times like playing Everquest pretty wasted and chilling out at the inn at Highpass Hold not capable of doing much but chilling there while everything blended in until I passed out.

I'd just gotten back from San Francisco(I live in ATL) seeing my best friend and he'd sent some brownies overnight so they'd meet me home(Shhhhhh lol). I'm in my 30s and been smoking tree and/or enjoying edibles since I was in my teens but this motherfucker put them in a box that looked like it was from a generic bakery so it didnt have the labels on em. I did a bag on my volcano vaporizer and thought to myself "I wanna try these brownies plus I have a sweet tooth"...
I ate a whole brownie and right when it kicks in I get a text saying "Just break each one into smaller pieces, its 1000mg for a full brownie you don't need to eat a whole one"..This is the same time my buddies in the XBL Party were arguing loud as shit.
I put the controller down cause I thought it was yelling at me and called my 64 year old father like 10 times until he woke up just tell him "Dad im hungry an going to sleep". Passed out to about 10 texts from him saying "What the hell you got going on over there"

I smoke and play pretty often. Don't feel like it affects my performance a lot but it does make it more enjoyable.
Once my ex and I took pretty powerful acid and played Uncharted 4 all night. We didn't finish it but got pretty far into the game. It made the graphics look more colorful.
VR and drugs tend to be a cool experience too, specially games like Rez. I think that game would bore me pretty quickly while sober.

Love playing games drunk and miss the days of drunken 8 player Fifa 96 or drunken 12 player Quarterback Club 97 on the Saturn or 4 player drunken madness on Chef's Luv Shack
Me and my best friend used to make up drink rules for sports games too. In Sensi Football for every goal scored against you, you had to drink to fingers of a can, or in Jonah Lomu every try scored against you, you had to drink 2 fingers (if you scored a conversion it would be) 4 fingers of a can) we used to get in some right states.
One of my fav drinking memories is when I had D2 on import and we played it down my best mate's house on Christmas night where me, my best mate and his bother were playing the game and if you missed a shot you had to hand the controller over and drink a shot. We played D2 until like 3 AM in the morning totally smashed out of our skulls and my mates father loved watching us trying to play the drug, when he and wife filled us up with endless shots and food.
I also remember playing PGR2 on LIVE with a gang of mates (who all shopped in the same Import shop) and one of the boys was so smashed he fell asleep playing the game, you could hear him snoring over the mic and laughing your head off driving past his motionless car outside a Game shop on the Edinburgh track

yeah the thing with psychodelics is they make the concept of any coordinated, organized activity really challenging. I recall trying to play American Mcgee's Alice one time tripping hard on shrooms.Wet and they certainly do. I was having fun until they properly kicked in! Back in my late teens I'd really go full throttle on shrooms.
It looked nice but as soon as I entered gameplay the sheer concept navigating a character on screen with mouse and keyboard at once resulted in pure chaos. I was way more entertaining due to the absurdity and the magnitude of failure trying to do do any of that effectively, rather than anything that had to do with to with the game itself

Was high af when listening to FFVIIs music for the first time, became my favourite game ever.
No Man's Sky with PSVR while doing shrooms was a nice experience, also raiding while drunk in Destiny 2 occasionally.

I played through the first few dungeons of OoT on mushrooms when it was new. I would have gotten further but I was stopping to look at the ugly texture of every wall. At the time it was mindblowing.
