I don't take hallucinogenics anymore for mental health reasons. Too risky for too little reward, and the knowledge of the risk might ruin the trip.

And yeah, what you say rings true. I guess it could be useful if someone's having a bad trip? "Here, smoke this, forget you saw Sandi's acting career on the ceiling and remarked, 'By God, it's full of stars...and one massive black hole.'"

Ditto. But I would do 2c-b again if I had the chance. It has the crazy visuals of acid, and the positive mood push of ecstasy. And it's nearly impossible to have a bad trip.

Alexander Shulgin, the guy who created it (and half the known hallucinogens [and popularized ecstasy]), said it's the most perfect hallucinogen.

You know how if you put a piece of butter toast on a cat's back it can generator infinite energy if you drop it? The system of propulsion relies on Derek posts and blogposts linked together in a loop.

Could save the world if Derek didn't just use it to power his crusade, like some kind of strange Tony Stark who pictures clowns every time there is adversity

2C-B just gave me an insane body fry and no visuals but I would definitely do it again.

I have had 2c-b. Agreed, it owns. Glad to have confirmation.

If someone offered me 2c-b I'd be tempted to throw those dice if I'm honest. Wouldn't be tempted if it was acid. I am telling myself I wouldn't take 2c-b as any kind of hallucinogenic could very risky for me. But gosh. I had such a wonderful experience on the stuff. Mind you my mental health went rapidly downhill after taking it, but I was also mixing it with a poo poo ton of resin and MXE, a disassociative, so

I don't think weed really has much, if anything, to do with forgetting that you're on hallucinogens because I've done that a few times without it. Maybe it makes it slightly more likely but I'm not sold on the concept.

As a mechanical/plumbing engineer, I drafted many a plan that called for contractors to "provide nipples."

And lo, nipples were provided.

Courterpoint, MoMA is in fact Toast. I think he can´t post because the issue goes well over his head, since he is just a poxy paralegal. Probably less relevant than French.

Or moma is just a Citizen, doesn't work there and making a reference that will bring up the boring Toast thing allows him a few minutes freedom from the pain of considering his fleet investment.

https://nofrag.com/2018/01/21/106587/

quote:

We thought the Star Citizen developers' response to Crytek would have baffled them. But Crytek has just replied, and their arguments are equally convincing.

Recall from the previous episode: Crytek accused CIG of developing two games when the original contract stipulated only one. They also complained that CIG broke the contract by changing the engine, so they did not use the CryEngine any more. CIG pointed out to them that the two complaints canceled each other out and that the case was therefore irrelevant.

Crytek's response: CIG was offered a preferential rate on the CryEngine in exchange for multiple promises they did not keep:

• CIG was to use CryEngine and promote it, but today they support a competing engine;
• CIG had committed to go back to Crytek the improvements they could have made to the engine, as well as the bug fixes. But after publicly boasting of improving the engine, they never shared their work with Crytek;
• CIG violated certain confidential aspects of Crytek's technology by publishing excerpts from the code.

In summary, Crytek believes it helped CIG in the early development of Star Citizen by offering them their engine at a preferential rate. The contract specified then that CIG had to return the same to them by ensuring the promotion of the engine and by sharing the improvements that they would have brought to him. But as soon as the developers of Star Citizen started to raise millions, they paid for a massive gold toilet, they printed the contract with Crytek, and they went to sink a monumental bronze before blowing themselves with it.
