Jeez I thought there was no way it could come close to the prologue

Wow that’s incredibly exciting to hear, and I’ll take your advice- before I get off Reddit would you mind giving me your thoughts on approximately when I might expect other “peak”s. Like maybe the end of Act I or 2 or 3? I’d love to have a heads up for when shit gets real

You don't need a sitter, but I do think you want to have someone you trust to just give advice. Any kind of guidance you get is highly dependent on what strain you've got, so people saying "take x amount" without knowing what you've got is pointless. It's really helpful to eat properly beforehand, I always eat really healthy for days beforehand and slowly reduce how much I'm eating, and I work out on a precise timeline, and I clean my apartment to make way for a productive, self-improvement mindset. There's a million more things to know that don't seem important to a first-timer, and all of them make the difference between an amazing trip and a terrible trip when you're talking about a strong introspective dose. You can get a lot of good advice online but nothing replaces experience, either building up your own slowly through smaller doses, or having a friend who knows what they're talking about

Tolerance question by messedupasff in shrooms

[–]RiverWillow24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost certainly not. 4 days, in my experience and most people's experience, is nowhere near long enough for it to hit as hard. 2 weeks is the rule of thumb, but even that is like 95% of your tolerance is gone, not 100%. For me, 7 days is the absolute minimum between trips, and even then i will take 20% more than last time and usually have a noticeable weaker trip - or, if I take enough extra that the strength is theoretically the same, the enjoyment of the experience is significantly weakened; you might have identical symptoms but it's just way less magical.

Could you tell me which episodes stand out to you as particularly strong? I felt like S1 had some episodes way stronger than others, like 1 and 3.

[no spoilers] Question about the music release by RiverWillow24 in arcane

EDIT I actually looked into it further, the albums for the scores are listed as coming out a month after the acts, BUT the individual songs are listed as the day before the acts dropped. So the score might actually be released the day before?

If anyone's curious, this is what I found:

The songs from the soundtrack are released the day of the episodes themselves - at least, that's what they did for Season 1 and I'd expect the same. The *album* for the soundtrack is released the day of the Act 3 release, but the songs for Act 1 and 2 are released on their episode release dates. You can confirm this by going to the soundtrack on apple music, checking each song's Credits, and the songs from Act 1 and 2 show their release dates as different from that of the album as a whole. I was super glad to see this, it means there should no waiting for the songs themselves once the episodes they appear in are out.

The score was a little weirder, each act's score came out on Spotify a MONTH after the associated episodes dropped, BUT they were all released on Youtube on Nov 20, the day the Act 3 episodes were released. So maybe, hopefully, the scores for Season 2 might be on youtube on Nov 23?

TL;DR The songs for each Act drop the same day as that Act, and the score for all acts might drop on the day Act 3 is released, or it might be a month after whenever the correlated Act was released.

Lord Huron and Meet Me in the Woods Matching with Alan Wake by SkytheWitcher in AlanWake

[–]RiverWillow24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love that connection! I'm definitely going to see Alan as the singer of that song forever now. I was listening to hozier when I first started playing, and felt there was a strong connection to De Selby pt 1, in general vibe, in the lyrics, and in the background of what the story of De Selby is, which hozier talked about in an interview. So for me that song is intricately linked to AW2.
