Have you ever played spaceships WHILE HIGH ON WEED?!


Only just about every day my good friend. Just like the back of a twenty dollar bill, brother, there is some crazy **** there.


My ponderous expression shows how clueless I am. I guess you'd have to have been there.

I quit smoking a few years back (heart attack is pretty compelling in that regard) and having a small child puts a damper on heavy drinking (not to mention the hallucinogens, love them...), and too much weed gives me anxiety attacks, so I'm pretty much SOL on the drugs nowadays. A pot of coffee and a six-pack last me a full Saturday of gaming; feels good man.

A professional astro-bastard was not available so they sent me.

I'm a bartender, and I find that it's easier to play when I'm drunk. Hell, every thing is easier drunk. Took me two days to learn the basics of this game sober, took me a few minutes to accidentally discover a great load out for my Caracal. I wouldn't mind playing sober, but it's just so much fun after a drinks of the Sailor. I also smoke, but not weed or cigarettes. I smoke hookah. Does that make me a bad person?

Oh, and coffee. Lots and lots of coffee.

It's more common than you think.

OP... have you ever heard of the term "liquid courage"? There is some truth to that. When you hit the "balmer peak" you DO things... things you would not ordinarily do... which can lead to some very interesting situations... and thus stories.

Plus... it's a testament to your skills as a player if you can continue being a "good player" even while impaired. The same line of "logic" goes into some workplaces too (WHO SAYS I CAN'T RUN A BUSINESS WHILE WASTED????).

edit:
to each his/her own. Some people operate better sober... some better slightly intoxicated.

I never really understood Turkish Tobacco, but I've never tried it. There was a place in a city I lived in once that made a business of provided a place to sit and smoke various flavors of tobacco, (mango, and various other things), but I figured it wouldn't help me to try it and I imagine it was a bit pricy.

I suppose it might not be that bad, but the idea of smoking tobacco that way is a little unusual to me.

I've only gotten drunk and played eve twice. The first time I took out a Loki in w-space and made a buncha money. The second time I fitted up a ship and flew into lowsec to find fights. I got a kill and happily returned to highsec. To this day, the failfit ship named "Alcohol Induced" is still sitting in Rens. Come to think of it, I should drink and play eve more often. Every time I do I have a great night.

eve and 2cb is something worth trying, allthough the short attentionspan is a bit problematic.

You smoke which is a more harmful and more expensive habit than most recreational drug habits, so what exactly is your point.

Said it before to someone, but does it get lonely up there on that pedestal?


I don't know what you mean by that, I was merely stating that I don't drink alone.

Where I come from, getting drunk alone is seen as a sign of depression and/or alcoholism.
