Few hours after useage you are fine and perfectly functional There is no hangover.
You will be more relaxed for a while after the trip, just like after a good lay.
In Europe you can just order the designer drug version online, it is dirt cheap and you buy it from a registered company.
Don't do it unless you are in good mental health.
Repeated useage will wreck you so stick to once every 6 months.
That sounds pretty good. Europe has all the good stuff readily available but I don't live there and customs are a thing, so...
Feeling rough physically this year in particular (turning 40 is even more of a bitch when you spent your 20's and some of your 30's beating yourself up) so I've been hitting the kratom lately, it's definitely helpful (for killing withdrawal symptoms from pharma stuff and also for painkilling itself). Even that has some possible downsides, like if you take too much of it you can have withdrawals from
that, like having a super-annoying flu-like feeling for X amount of time. And I'm pretty sure the government wants to ban it so it might poof at any time. Which would suck for anyone using it to treat withdrawals from pharmaceutical shit. It could keep people off of heroin and things like that, but who gives a fuck let's ban it.
They gave it to my wife when she hurt her back and my MIL when she broke her collarbone in a car accident. In the US the FDA have clamped down so hard on opioids cancer patients and chronic pain sufferers are killing themselves because they can't get relief. Ketamine is one of the alternatives they are using in their place but there isn't nearly enough/as much study on the long term effects as of yet.
Super excited about Shadow of the Erdtree, its the only thing I really have on my radar for next year at this point.
Perhaps I should head to the Rustled thread but it really grinds my jimmies the way the FDA keep cracking down on all this stuff. People with basic injuries like me have to jump through hella hoops to get any kind of help. Most of the "opioid deaths" (like 90% I think) are from fentanyl leaking in over the southern border, and these government assholes fight back against this by... cracking down on all these lesser things that actually help people, while leaving the border open.
What the FUCK
Wait till you get to the capital, that's the zone that really blew me away. Showed it to the wife, and even she said good God that's amazing, and she doesn't play games other than Tetris.
Yeah the capitol is the thing that blows everyone away. I love that zone so much. Though my favorite zone is Mountaintop because I've had a thing for snow levels since Donkey Kong Country on the SNES.
I did a second and was blown away how much stuff I missed the first playthrough. I will do another some time, I’m sure I still missed things.
I'd be kind of surprised if I missed anything at all in the game at this point after like 250 hours.
That said, last time I played, I found
two new dungeons under the bridge that leads into Leyndell's side entrance. Crypts of old lords. HOW AM I STILL FINDING THINGS?
Damn it stop already! You're going to make me reinstall and do another run.
I'm getting to that point myself, probably gonna do it after I wrap up Sekiro, whenever that is.
Thinking that for Shadow of the Erdtree we're gonna need a strong NG character to fare the best. My character is super powerful, but also in NG++, which means SOTE is probably gonna be cranked way up on difficulty. Rather take it on with an NG file.
Think for the next run I'll try doing a "low level game" of sorts and just play the game normally with zero grinding. I did a level 1 playthrough of Dark Souls 1 last year and I managed to beat Margit with a starting level samurai while showing a friend how not-hard Elden Ring actually is compared to what the journos portray it as. So I think a "no grinding" run of ER is doable and would probably be a lot of fun. In the past I'd just grind my way out of tough spots instead of being forced to get good. This would also get me ready to get the most out of SOTE. Just wish we had a release date so I could plan on this.
