    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    This reads like someone having a DMT trip for the first time, but not knowing they're having a DMT trip.

    Caligula The Ultimate Cut (1980/2023)

    Just noticed this now as I don't often venture into this part of the forums. Interesting that they are messing around with this thing again. I saw one version of it probably around 2005 or so. Definitely one of the strangest movies I've ever seen. A mix of some of the absolute best, high-brow...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    Most plants and animals produce DMT naturally, including all mammals. Humans produce it, but usually in extremely low quantities, and it does not last very long in the blood stream. Now, I have not looked into recent research, but back in the 90s, people were still wondering why the human body...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    When I looked into these things many, many moons ago I took a good long look at the abduction phenomenon. Very long story short, this is what I ended up concluding: While a good chunk of the UFO world - including abduction stories - is highly suspect as it revolves around people saying...

    The Astronomy Thread

    This again comes down to definitions - how do we define "intelligent life" and how do we define contact with it? Most define it as technological aptitude - the ability to invent and build material things, such as atom bombs and space ships. And yes, this is one way. But is it the only way...

    The Astronomy Thread

    There is also the theory that we are simply not looking in the right places, or we ignore it. While I have never tried hallucinogens, I have both known people who have dabbled in them - and met "creatures" as well as read a lot about it (my profile pic is of Terence McKenna). So in this circle...

    The Astronomy Thread

    Yeah, and as I say, you need to define "rare". One advanced (multi cellular, not necessarily intelligent) form of life per galaxy = at least about 2 trillion planets with advanced life. Is that rare or common? And 2 trillion galaxies is only what we know of, we keep pushing the boundaries of the...

    The Astronomy Thread

    Depends on how you define "rare". Just taking the size of the Universe that we know of now. A Google search says there are about 2 trillion galaxies in the Universe, and if each is, say, about 100 billion stars large, which seems to be the average... Well, even if you only have one advanced life...

    Can't wait for people to try out Fast Talking Bullshitter runs. We will probably also soon see people attempt to finish the game with as few fights as possible - pacifist runs. I love games that let you try different approaches to things. Reminds me a bit of old school WoW where you had a few...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    Thanks... still looks very much like how it was in the early 2000s, especially Steven Greer's 2001 Disclosure Project which had a bunch of government officials speaking out but nothing came of it. And the shitposting in this thread just today is very indicative of what it's like out in the real...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    Found my way in here again after a very long hiatus. I dabbled in this field for about 5 years in the mid 2000s before realising it was an interesting, but ultimate dead end field - at least at the time. In the end I took up a position influenced by a mix of Jacques Valleé and Rick Strassmann...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    For me there are always two games that had so much pre-release hype it was unreal. First was WoW's Cataclysm expansion. Second was Cyberpunk. Haven't seen nearly as much hype for this game. Sure, a few individuals here and there seem to be excited, but mostly people don't give a shit. I would...

    And to think I've been giving away my farts (especially in crowded elevators) for free all these years! ...I wonder if I can file them as charity donations on my tax return...? Edit: Also, how the fuck are her farts "out of stock"? Has she never heard of beans??

    Yeah, if you find some pics of her when she was younger, before going full baldie she was quite attractive. Great voice. Absolutely batshit though. She must have been diddled a lot to end up like that. She's one of those people who make you wonder what sort of person they could have become had...

    This guy has a good YT channel that includes not only good guides for beginners, but also interesting build guides, such as OP one-shot builds, one (active) skill builds, and other strange things. Worth a look if you like this game.

    Yeah saw it. TQ and GD are two of my fav ARPGs, though each in their own way. I was surprised to see this as I had heard that they had ceased development of GD and were focusing on their new project. I doubt it's a full expansion, but maybe some small new areas, bosses, loot and maybe mechanics.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I "grew up" on a EU Magtheridon back in the day. Playing as Ally. This was the server that was home to Kungen and his guild of World Firsters, and they were Horde, so there was a lot of Horde fanbois there. The ratio was something like 3:1 for the Horde early on, but ended up at something like...

    True, but on the flip side, I would never play a city builder like that. In a way, few games are actually realistic. Strategy games like Civ and such, you still play a god. I have sometimes wondered how it would be to play a game like HoI, but have the entire political/economy/factory set to...

    Regarding the Golden Age, as Arumba has said, you pop it as soon as you can. The sooner the better, because the longer the game goes on, the stronger you always get relative to your opponents, and so the less you need a boost. An early Golden Age can get you snowballing quicker. Only in a few...
