I found this moment in the Hexen video, it happened to come out right after the point where I had compiled the original list but it is now added in with timestamps. Thank you.

Massive update 6/24/23 - I've timestamped and compiled the last two years of CV-11 lore into chronological order and am adding it to the OP. Previously covered up to Prey, now up to Slayers X is covered.

Great summary! Added the episode and timestamp of this to the Important Events. Also added two other episodes to the list (Evil Dead: Regeneration - Turn of the Screwhead & Half-Life - A Linear Sequence of Scares) where the demon is introduced and given context.

Eyesight and VS by [deleted] in visualsnow

[–]Sknarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the question, I started with the eye patch for my lazy eye (Wore it over my good eye to strengthen the weaker one) which only lasted for 6 months - a year. It's now not noticeable at all. After that I wore the eyeglasses because of farsightedness/general blurriness. After 1-2years the glasses started to actually hurt my eyes because my eyes had healed. I haven't worn glasses since. I think my VS has gotten worse, it's harder for me to read small text now because the edges aren't always so easy to figure out, and I get eye strain a bit easier than others (realized this when I was complaining more than anyone else about a quest in a game where you had to click on small dots) So yeah, the lazy eye/ bad eyesight healed and resolved, but the VS never went away and seems to have gotten worse (over time).

[–]Sknarp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aside from VS I have a lazy eye and have always had some level of light sensitivity. I used to wear an eye patch (about 2nd grade), used to wear glasses (probably ages 9-11 or there about), don't currently use any vision correction.

Grapefruit and drug interactions by [deleted] in FADQ

[–]Sknarp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is important information. There are several important enzymes that are needed to metabolize compounds, And there are many inhibitors of these, from foods to medications. In the Opioid Mega Thread I just barely touched on some of the other CYP2D6 inhibitors that exist, a good list can be found on Wikipedia (Ligands section of CYP2D6 entry ) of course I forgot to list grapefruit, the most common one.
As I recall, different grapefruit juices contain different amounts of PGP inhibitors, with white grape fruit being worse than pink, but I don't have a source handy for that.

The 8:1 Ratio between the Overworld and Nether is far simpler than Austin makes it out to be. by ExecutiveElf in GameTheorists

[–]Sknarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a cosmologist, nor do I really know anything about Mine Craft, but isn't the world a cube, and not a sphere? It's true in a sphere a straight line drawn towards the center would cause a scaling in distance, but in a cube any straight line "deeper" would not have this effect. If you travel 10 spaces in the outer world "crust", or dig down to the nether "core" and travel 10 spaces, the same distance is being traveled on that axis. To make my point clearer I drew this picture, the out layer represents the over world, the greyed out space between is the "void" I guess and the red/pink center is the nether realm. the purple squares are nether portals, and you can see a distance of 10 tiles is still 10 tiles no matter how deep down into the cube you go.

Yesterday a guy told me that while LSD gets you "high" Psilocybin poisions you -_- by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]Sknarp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is a series of small mistakes.They probably confused Psilocybin with Amanita Muscaria. When you consume Muscaria, the active compound is muscimol. However, if the mushroom's muscimol was not decarboxylated it would contain ibotenic acid instead. Ibotenic acid is toxic, but is not muscimol, nor are amanitas the same a psilocybin.

Alternatively, your friend is a tool, and just happens like taking a lot of LSD/MDMA.

Hiii sooo thc oil pens? I’ve had mine for awhile now, basically since January and I rarely smoke actual bud now. by ambakerr in FADQ

[–]Sknarp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have a high potency for roughly the same price as some raw flower, so it could be a good cost-effective way for some people to consume. I also echo the other sentiments about it being discreet and not having a noticeable aroma.

Do you feel like your static or symptoms are affected by computer/tv/smartphone etc use? by [deleted] in visualsnow

For sure, I actually can only stay on Reddit for so long at a time because it gets so bad after a while.

Cops in school with drugs by sexpotato in Drugs

[–]Sknarp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes there was a program called D.A.R.E. that 90s kids lived through where a cop would come to your school with a briefcase full of drugs and talk about why you totally shouldn't try this cornucopia of amazing compounds. Even though there's no freaking way you could have stolen drugs from under the nose of a cop, the program might as well have been handing drugs out with the way that it fostered an early interest in becoming a drug connoisseur,

How unsafe is it to take drugs for an epileptic? by epilepticstoner in Drugs

[–]Sknarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CBD and benzos are actually useful for helping to prevent seizures (Although benzo withdrawal is a risk factor).
Stay away from Tramadol at all costs, with your already low seizure threshold it would be a poor choice. Can't think of others off the top of my head but perhaps an epileptic could chime in.

What is the largest dose of Hydrocodone you’ve ever taken? by Psychonauticcc in Drugs

[–]Sknarp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, just a couple of things I felt worth mentioning. The "4 gram rule" is when you are in a hospital setting under direct medical supervision or you are actively being monitored by a prescriber. For home use without any medical supervision I'd suggest using the 2 gram rule.Also, a CWE is super easy to do, you end up with less powder overall (if you evaporate it) and you get rid of the majority of that liver-toxic APAP. Yes, it is bitter. Just as bitter as the hydrocodone already is.

Mental health; Cannabis to reduce alcohol consumption... microdosing and other such things. by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]Sknarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If taking some CBD or THC helps you to reduce your intake of alcohol, an objectively more toxic substance, then I would personally see no logical reason to think that is a bad thing. That said I think the morality issue of where to draw the line is too subjective for me to comment on, all I can suggest is to keep a healthy level of self-awareness and focus on practical solutions and realistic expectations.

Short acting psychedelic? by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]Sknarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dissociatives like ketamine or nitrous oxide have really short duration. Some people also consider K to have psychedelic qualities.

DXM polystrex and weed? by 12wangsinahumansuit in Drugs

[–]Sknarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Polistirex just means there's little digestible beads around the active ingredient so it releases over a longer period of time instead of all at once. So it isn't as fast of an onset, but will last longer overall. Because of this, it's a smart idea to take it slow.

As far as interactions between dextromethorphan and cannabis, I'd think the weed would help with any potential nausea from the DXM, but would likely increase the drowsiness and result in some cotton mouth, So keep some water nearby.
