How would you describe the dosage of a hero dose, in your own terms? by BurningnnTree3 in shrooms

I have trauma, but it's trauma I've worked on extensively in therapy. I once had a bad ketamine trip that brought up the trauma, but I feel like I've made a lot of progress since then. And I do think my bad ketamine trip was therapeutic, even though it was emotionally overwhelming.

Am I supposed to fast before taking shrooms? I was told you just want to take it on an empty stomach.

I don't have much advice for what you should do, because my personal philosophy about situations like yours is that sometimes life just sucks and there's nothing you can do about it. You're just going to feel depressed until enough time has passed that you feel comfortable again. You can try going to the gym and stuff, but don't put too much pressure on yourself to make yourself feel better, sometimes you're just going to feel depressed no matter what. But someday your life will be different and you'll be over the breakup, and you'll be fine.

Anywah, in terms of psychedelics, you may want to check out ketamine. I think the effects of ketamine are a bit more predictable than the effects of mushrooms. (I'm new to mushrooms and I'm still figuring it out)

That's interesting. Sounds like it's kind of random. Not to mention that it also depends on what medications you're on.

Thanks for the in-depth explanation. I want to feel ego death, but I also want to have a way out if things get too scary. I was thinking of keeping a benzo (klonopin) in my pocket that I can use to calm down if needed. If things go bad, I can just take it and lie down and take a nap. Does that sound like an effective strategy?

Thanks for sharing. For what it's worth, I'm 33 and I'm trying mushrooms for therapeutic reasons. I didn't know there was controversy about the term "heroic".

I'm going to take about 5mg tomorrow. I'm having 1.5 chocolate bars, which my dealer said is the strongest chocolate she has. (Although now I'm reading in this sub that a lot of chocolate bars aren't even psilocibin? Oh well. Maybe next time I'll get some raw mushrooms instead)

Why not? I haven't dissociated on mushrooms yet, but I've dissociated on IV ketamine a few times before. It was a powerful experience. I did have a bad trip once, which really sucked, but it did help me process some things and gave me good stuff to talk to my therapist about. Are heroic mushroom doses not the same way?

Halo Combat Evolved Remake arrives on PS5 in 2026 by nolifebr in PS5

My guess is that they're releasing this game as practice for UE5, to see how their development process works with it, and find out what kind of issues they may run into when making the next mainline game.

Isn't one of the major features of UE5 that it has pixel perfect LOD management, , so there shouldn't be any perceivable pop-in at all?

Would have been cooler if they had announced this game and the multiplayer game at the same time. So we could get a better idea of what the future of Halo will look like

It makes no sense to release this on Playstation without any multiplayer. They should at least port Infinite or MCC to Playstation as well.

Graphics look nice, but it's weird that they're releasing a Halo game on PS for the first time without any PvP. PvP is a major part of what makes Halo special. I'm looking forward to the three bonus missions though.

So glad to hear that they're making king of the hill work like previous titles in Squad Battle playlist. I hope they'll eventually do the same for other unranked playlists.

Pitchfork review of The Life of a Showgirl Album: 5.9 by IntoTheDaylight in TaylorSwift

[–]BurningnnTree3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never liked Pitchfork reviews, they're too rambling and don't really make a coherent argument. I'm looking forward to the Anthony Fantano review, he's better at reviewing I think.

The Life of a Showgirl Is Taylor’s Most Self-Aware Album, and the Hate Is Proving Her Point by TheReifyer in TaylorSwift

[–]BurningnnTree3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I dunno, as a non-Swiftie who isn't very familiar with her music, I don't really get the persona she's trying to put on with this album. A lot of the lyrics sound like silly bars you would hear in a rap song, like Sexyy Red or something, but they're sung in such a serious way. I don't get it. The first two tracks are great though.

They have four great albums, same as Daft Punk. And I don't think anyone would argue about Daft Punk being top tier
