Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports).

"Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.


Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:

I think what he was trying to say was shouldn't have used a poison-type attack bro

[–]Bonya[S] 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Oh right, well first of all it's gloom doing the attack not oddish, and they both have acid as a starter attack so it still makes sense either way :)

[–]JammyBurger 11 points12 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, they're both trying to say that if you used Gloom's acid on Oddish then it wouldn't have been very effective.

[–]Bonya[S] -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Ah I get you, I didn't think about that. I guess it still has an effect, I don't think they're immune to poison type attacks

[–]blod09 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Poison types can't get poisoned , so not only that the attack does 50%dmg it also misses out on the whole funky effect.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

But Oddish is also grass, so while it won't get poisoned, type multipliers will cancel out and do regular damage.

[–]MrBeg1ner 1 point2 points ago

From the picture, it was clearly super effective.

If I was that Gloom's trainer, I'd make it listen to psychedelic rock while on acid.

[–]weazelus 0 points1 point ago

I always thought of Oddish more as a Sour than Poison type

[–]Korberos 4 points5 points ago

LSD doesn't really cause this type of reaction in almost anyone unless you take multiple hits, which is technically dangerous.

It sorta just makes everything awesome and more vibrant. Also, you don't get cold even when it's freezing out and you don't get tired walking around all day... which makes walking around San Francisco on LSD amazing.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Dangerous in what way? Not trying to be a smart-ass, but I would say that there are risks instead of calling it dangerous. It is one of the least toxic chemicals known to man and there have been no deaths from LSD.

[–]SodaCan 1 point2 points ago

[–]Fhorglingrads -1 points0 points ago

LD50: 12000 ug (from erowid.com)

Relatively speaking, that makes Acid fairly dangerous compared to the massive amount of chemicals that it takes far more of to take down a human.

Acid can be dangerous, and most of the time, the danger isn't physical, but mental. You can fuck your head up if you take too much or do it too often.

[–]klethra 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

also according to erowid, the average dose is between 50 and 150 ug, so unless you're taking eighty hits of acid, you're probably safe.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Relatively speaking it doesn't make acid fairly dangerous since the difference between the threshhold level and LD50 is so high. LSD has starts working at 20 micrograms, and the 12000 micrograms is just an estimate from animal testing since there have been no deaths from LSD. You don't just accidentally take 100 hits.

About fucking your head up if you do it to often, no shit. I think any drug will fuck you up if you do it too much. That is one of the big reasons why people should not do drugs. But the thing also is that people seem to do drugs like LSD and shrooms very seldom. The common thing seems to be one time to a couple of times a year.

I Think it's weird that a drug like LSD doesn't have more current research. It's one of those drugs that seem like they can be real helpful for a lot of conditions in a clinical environment.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I do not approve this message, which is hard given that it has honest intent:

-Multiple hits is extremely safe. Arguably, LSD is one of the safest drugs known to man, and probably the safest recreational drug. As far as use goes, you'll get more long term ill effects from sugar than LSD ffs. Back in the 60s tabs were from 500-1000µg each, and sometimes people took multiple. Today a stronger tab usually is around 100µg, and to get a normal full effected but still weak trip (which is extremely strong as LSD is an extremely strong drug) starts at 200µg so most people will want to take 2 tabs minimum or they will get effects which Korberos describes.

-You do get crazy visuals more than than any other drug, with the exception of ones that make you fly off into another universe like DMT, which imho shouldn't be compared. You can get visuals like the bottom left cell of the comic, if those type of visuals make you comfortable and happy. You will most likely not get visuals like the bottom right cell as those visual look not fun and intrusive. Most visuals are more like you can look at a picture and see it moving similar to the harry potter universe, but for me more like a hollogram (multiple frames, not smooth motion). Also, other common visuals are breathing which is like everything is weaving around.

-Walking around in a public area under the influence is extremely dangerous and I do not recommend it, or at least keep in private until you are a skilled enough to know what dose strength you need to keep the trip weak enough, much like Korberos says. Most people i know who trip in public take half a tab, or a tab if it is weaker, which explains Korberos' thought process on dose size.

-Regarding overdosing, I do not know of a single person in history who has been recorded overdosing from LSD. However, that doesn't mean it isn't impossible. People in the past have taken thumb prints and have been just fine, which is on the strength level of 100-200 tabs at once, or around 100-200x the strength Korberos describes. I'm obviously, not recommending this, just stating the facts.

And for a backup source of information to make it a bit more clear: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Drug_danger_and_dependence.png

Not sure why someone down-voted you. This was a pretty good expansion of my comment, and definitely informative on a few matters.

I should have made clear though that when I say "dangerous" I didn't mean there was a chance of dying. I don't know if anyone has ever died from an LSD overdose either, but I do know that I know someone who took five and went absolutely out of control crazy on the street... which is what I meant by dangerous. I consider a drug dangerous when you are not capable of understanding what you are doing anymore, especially if the drug gives you energy or dissipates the feeling of exhaustion like LSD does.

2 people have died of LSD, both from ODs when it first came about because they tried to use it in the same quantities that other drugs were being used... ya they got fucked up.

Also LSD has been known to make people that were very smart/academic and so forth to change radically in mindset and capability off of a 'Bad Trip'

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Who are the two people and what dose size did they take, and what other drugs? Alcohol?

A bad trip is one having a bad time during a trip. It doesn't change them any more than a good trip does.

One I believe was the inventor and the other escapes me, but they each took something like 50-100+ grams of it. Something just insane to consume.

2 people have died, and many more have attempted suicide.

Not to be argumentative, but do you have any examples of people who changed radically in a negative way? I know that it can speed up the onset of schizophrenia, but I haven't heard of any other credible tales of acid casualties.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

More people have attempted suicide while while not under the influence of a drug, any drug. The drug has nothing to do with anything. They were breathing when they attempted suicide therefor it was the air's fault they attempted suicide.

My older cousin from LA was actually a star student in high school, was supposed to go to UCLA, first generation, and my other cousins got him into drugs over the summer, he was fine with marijuana and stuff, but according to them he freaked out while tripping on acid and when he came down he was almost completely out of it. When I saw him he was a different person. Imagine someone that still responds, but it only ever seems like half of them are there. Ya that was devastating for me, hence why I mentioned it here to those thinking of using, be safe.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

I think it's because the normal dose has gotten a lot smaller over the years. Standard now is like 50-150 micrograms. Back in the days it was 200-400.

[–]deathcab90 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

From my experience, 2 hits of LSD is the general dosage most people use to "trip," and that does often produce colorful hallucinations.

I think you're probably right, but it's annoying to explain to friends I introduce to LSD why they don't think they are a glass of orange juice...

[–]TAldrich -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

duuude, in February, 2 days before my 19th birthday, I dropped 4 hits of this new batch came into town. Was a lot stronger than I expected, shit was legit and I smelted into everything, I felt like a drop in the ocean when it came to my surroundings, I felt stuck in limbo lmao. If I were to rate it, I'd give it a 10 in visuals and mental trip. Still get flashbacks here and there

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Interesting. I recently dropped 4 hits of extremely clean 100 mics. My fractal visuals were fully visible (they appear on objects as color distortions in these specific shapes and patterns, they're kind of like my friends i see them often.) my skin was shifting colors and glitching, and i saw the craters around each hair. but that was between 1-2 hours, after that there were barely any visuals. i was completely messed up though, time was reorganizing itself, and i kept getting lost in side of objects.

i had this feeling that i was the universe trying to figure itself out with the limits of time and memory, so i had to write down specific things i learned in order to help fight it. then the universe kicked me out and said i was silly for thinking i was worthy enough to solve it myself. after that my trip instantly stopped , with some lingering visuals. this was at around 6 hours. usually i peak at 7ish. very strange.

A street drug that can cause hallucinations. Popular in the 1970s.

If you want to know more use Google. If you're smart enough to use Reddit, you're smart enough to Google "LSD".
