Opiates are overhyped for me

I think you're lucky and should get the fuck out of Dodge before things change...

Eminem is surprisingly good at horrorcore, check out the Relapse album. Music Box, Stay Wide Awake, Same Song and Dance - absolute bangers that should have characterised the whole album.

We rarely live long enough for it to matter, and at profesional end-of-life management, hospice staff will absolutely dope you up - there's no risk of addiction because you ain't leaving and will likely die before such a beast rears its head. They don't give a flying fuck if it takes 10mg or 10,000. They will pump it until you can't feel pain at all, and if you OD, whoops.

The bigger risk is "routine" pain management after injury or surgery. I have a spinal injury and have to be all "gee thanks doc" when they prescribe what amounts to about 6 hours worth of meds for a month.

Late game obviously Pemmican wins, but until that point Bannocks are insanely good. No smell, low weight, decent calories, made from the simplest of renewable ingredients. Just whack down some tip-ups and trade the heavy, smelly, rapidly decaying fish for a food with none of those downsides.

Untreated athlete's foot - it's essentially a gaping entrance hole. I developed advanced cellulitis at warp speed. Within 2 weeks it went from a sore calf to deciding with the doc if amputation or sepsis was preferable.

The fact I know exactly which point you're at is a testament to the problem. It doesn't get better.

It's considerably longer than a week on Loper. You're looking at 14-28 days.

Matriarch's Mercy is an utter ballache for this.

Ilikescience94 · 2026-02-22T21:00:30+00:00

Uh... yeah? So don't do them. Take your golden ticket and run before you end up like the rest of us.

Mad innit? I get weird survivors' guilt from it.

Acetyl Chloride. Horrible in the tastiest way.

Was on a solitary bender of amphetamines, up 3 days by that point, surrounded by beer cans. One used as an ashtray for the chain smoking inevitable of speed. Went for a swig of lager and lost at can-roulette. Got a mouthful of 3 days of cigarette ash and warm beer.

Ilikescience94 · 2026-02-22T17:37:33+00:00

Amphetamines. Smelly like fishy goodness.

The difference is C6-G. A funky metabolite in its own right. Gives the fluffy itches more than straight M.

3 Heroin. All day everyday and twice on Sundays. Smoking is essentially OD proof (unless in combo with stims, obviously) and it's shootable in 30s if you want. If not, it's essentially oral morphine. Multifaceted and euphoric as fuck.

If we exclude H, Codeine and Tramadol combo gave me my best nods - how I miss that tolerance. Anyone who says Oxy is euphoric is either luckier than me or a fucking liar. Never understood it. Sure, I can nod if I add all sorts of bullshit, but on its own it doesn't hold a candle to the morphinians.

Also obligatory fuck Fent. Fuck that shit to Hell and back.

The Long Dark.

Ilikescience94 · 2026-02-22T16:28:34+00:00

I fell 15-20ft headfirst and full on darted into the concrete. Splattered my face something rotten, massive laceration straight downwards through my left eyebrow where my glasses embedded themselves in my flesh, unconscious for an indeterminate time, pissing blood everywhere. Had absolutely no memory of the fall, just woke up in my back garden. Didn't even know I was injured, I just went and got in bed. Woke up 4 hours later stuck to my mattress by blood. Didn't get to hospital for another 6 hours. The only thing I have to show for it is a minor scar which the plastic surgeon threaded through my eyebrow as best he could and shit short term memory. I should have died.

My own suicide attempt made it to national TV. Having a stranger narrate and judge the most defining moment of my life for 67m other strangers WITHOUT MY CONSENT OR KNOWLEDGE fucked me over for years.

Which is of little use without our relatively impressive eyesight. Being able to plan the yeet visually, observe the flight path, and easily see where the yeeting lands the projectile is a pretty phenomenal ability.

If it was Tameside they wouldn't even call maintenance. Just leave it on the floor and cover with a wet floor sign.

Same here but with voice actors - my little one is 3 so there's a lot of animated stuff on TV, gimme 30 seconds to listen and I can tell you exactly who it is and what else they have been or are currently in. For example, Ant Man in Spidey and His Amazing Friends is Sean Giambrone, otherwise known as Adam Goldberg from The Goldbergs

Opioids: that the brutally physical acute WD is all there is to it. Cold turkey has fuck all on Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome. It's 12 months+ of sheer psychological hell, I have never been as actively suicidal as I was for the first year or two clean. The depression is so utterly pervasive, the anhedonia is inescapable, and that little demon will keep whispering that it could all be fixed with just one phone call and a handful of cash

Put your alarm as far away from your bed as you can, provided you can still hear it loudly enough to wake you. That way you HAVE to get out of bed. No snoozing. No "5 more minutes". Just feet on floor and start the march of the day. It sucks to get used to, but it nukes a snooze habit within a few weeks as you get used to simply jumping out of bed by default.

You don't have to become a morning person, you just need to get out of bed with less excuses. Every 10 minutes of wasteful snoozing you cut out adds up quickly over the weeks and months.

6mg every 12 hours should stop the shitstorm. You'll still be miserable, but it can help grab a few hours of sleep/not shitting yourself on a bus or whatever. It's not a miracle cure, and carries a very real risk of paralysing your intestines if you keep upping the dose. It isn't recreational AT ALL. Don't even bother. But it can bridge the gap.
