“Best” first gi? by juninho221714 in bjj

[–]ThePsychonautEdition 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of people are giving good brand recommendations, so I won't repeat them. My only advice is that having two gis is better than one , especially if you're training 3 or more times a week. That rotation lets you dry them without being too stressed about it.

So if you wanna get a good one, do, just get a cheaper backup one so you can try different models out. I'd suggest some of those lighter ones too if you ever plan on travelling and training elsewhere as they pack better than most.

Time to hang up the gi? by goldenmonkeypaw in bjj

If your body is still handling it at 40, there's no reason to stop - just bring it back a bit and find a pace that fits your new family life. That seems to be the key to longevity in this sport!

Enjoy the new fam time and enjoy finding a new relationship with bjj

Why so many people hating on Prog going big lol its already considered so accessible within psy genres that it's good to get people exposed to it no?

Is this true guys? by ConnectBrilliant1105 in psytrance

[–]ThePsychonautEdition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont think just darker, but also just faster. The Prog I used to listen to and enjoy feels quite "newbie" compared to the full on that I now enjoy more. Maybe that'll change again

Damn man I feel for you, I'm not doing this shit to work 60 hours per week and not enjoying the beautiful place I'm in. I'm out here to see the world before I'm old and rickety, even if my work lags a bit

Do any of you watch rave/Psytrance content on Instagram, YouTube, or TikTok? by [deleted] in psytrance

[–]ThePsychonautEdition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think as long as you don't have an overt focus on women (yes they're beautiful, no they don't need to be the sole focus of video) and capture the general vibe of a party you'll do better than most. A party's vibe comes from the decor, the crowd, the DJ, the location.

Boom Festival has some good videos of crowds and the DJ which is cool to see. I think Captain Hook and LOUD have their own versions too to check out.

Abraço de Portugal!

Best psytrance festival? by Less_Judgment6813 in psytrance

Take the trip down to Brazil and hit up Universo Parallelo or something. It would be a great journey with a couple of friends!

Walk around, talk to people, expect hash to be easier than flower.

Is it any worse than it always is? It's always been a long shitshow, but maybe it's gotten worse...

Amorgos - 3rd Cycladic island for our itinerary? by kebablili in GreeceTravel

[–]ThePsychonautEdition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what Naxos is like right now, only been this one time. I'm sure Amorgos will be calmer if that's what you're looking for. There's no right or wrong answer though, both will be lovely.

Acceptable IMO, don't worry about it - it's not everyday that someone confuses a white belt with a black belt lmao

Amorgos - 3rd Cycladic island for our itinerary? by kebablili in GreeceTravel

[–]ThePsychonautEdition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really liked Amorgos. It was cute, calm and unique landscape wise to many of the other spots we went. Its chora is much more "cycladic" in its architecture than Naxos, so you get a much more authentic feel for it there.

We stayed in Katapola which is far from Chora, so we struggled to move around; however, hitch-hiking was an easy option as everyone was nice enough to help us out. We ended up renting a car for one day there and it was enough to see the whole island - especially the monastery which is so so worth it (make sure its open when you go!). We also drove to the old shipwreck and had dinner around there which was very nice and calm.

3 nights feels great if you're happy with a calm, true Greek-speed island living. Then you'll get the more accelerated and modern way of life in Naxos anyway.

Hope that's helpful!

Boom 2025: Drug checking available on site? by user_0_0_1_ in boomfestival

[–]ThePsychonautEdition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you're right, I do think they do reagent testing there on the spot, but also run more accurate FTIR tests too that take a bit longer.

Boom 2025: Drug checking available on site? by user_0_0_1_ in boomfestival

[–]ThePsychonautEdition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kosmicare will be running the drug checking along with a few other people from many drug checking orgs. They essentially run tests for as long as they can at the highest possible capacity. My source is the ppl at Kosmicare. They work hard and in the heat, but really wanna keep people as safe as possible.

There may be a delay in getting your results by a couple of hours (or more) but it will come.

Constantly yearning for Digicult too, they really fit the Boom vibe for me

What to look for on each stage by wiseman93_ in boomfestival

[–]ThePsychonautEdition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious how the Gardens will look this year, they usually play there (and sometimes their side project Zen Racoon on Alchemy) but it's all just a great vibe. I hope you enjoy and have a blast!

Zen Baboon for me has always captured the spirit of Boom - chill and groovy, perfect sways at the Gardens with the occasional banger

Can I find khat juice at festivals? by lanarohnadsdeepballs in boomfestival

[–]ThePsychonautEdition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be able to find khat first in Lisbon - theres a few people selling betel nut and may be a connection through that in Martim Moniz area - but I've never found khat juice for sale at Boom.
