Just unsubbed from EVERY CYBERPUNK (game) SUBREDDIT because the majority of new posts are regarding people's character appearances.

I joined to see things about the main part of the gameplay, lore, and night city itself, because Cyberpunk2077 is a pretty cool game once you get past the character creation screen and actually start playing it and exploring the world.
After 2 years I can definitively say that I have seen more character slop than actual posts about the gameplay, lore, and night city, and I just don't see any reason to stay subscribed to the subreddit.
The two subreddits are the exact same thing by the way, I joined LowSodiumCyberpunk because I figured it would be more focused on what I'm actually interested in, but again, same exact problem.
This isn't about any NSFW stuff, Cyberpunk is obviously a gooner game but most of these subreddits don't allow NSFW characters. This is more about the fact that these posts are utter slop, it does not take anything to make these characters and to make a post, so obviously the subreddits are being flooded with low effort slop that takes 5 minutes to make. I would much rather see people write up intriguing questions about the lore of the game that actually make people think and share their knowledge about the game world. Or have people share funny clips of uncommon occurrences that can't be recreated in 5 minutes. Or at the very least, have someone take a nice photograph of a location in game using proper framing and filters.
I say the location images are superior to the character images because you can practically make these characters in any game, and they're nothing special at all, what is truly unique to cyberpunk is night city. And it's a such an intricate map that there are hundreds if not thousands of microlocations that would be suitable for photomode, that are all marvelous and didn't take 5-15 minutes to make in an in-game creator.
Hell, I would even prefer actual artwork of people's characters to be made, like digital art or something, because again that wouldn't be fucking slop.

Another living forcefield demonstration post, get me out of this hell

TAKES ZERO DAMAGE FROM GETTING SWUNG INTO THE FENCE WHILE ALIVE, GETS AN AXE TO THE HEAD AND SUDDENLY TAKES DAMAGE FROM THE SAME FENCE AND SAME FORCE.
He only lost because I swung his arm out of the fence, notice how he remains conscious the whole time and has no visible damage after being swung full force into the fence.
And notice how it doesn't play the damage sound effects, only the light thump sounds, compared to once he's dead where it plays the full sound effect

Is it possible to make tucking only the back in work? Like a reverse french tuck?

I've tried tucking in the back of the shirt, and I find it is so close to actually looking good in the front, but something just looks wrong about it, and it looks like a fucking warzone in the back. I'm hoping that somebody has more experience with this and is able to make it work, because it is edging me.
Is there a specific term for this and have others done this? I haven't been able to find much info about it online

Getting minecraft to generate modded structures in worldpainter world.

Does anybody have any idea how to get modded structures to be generated by minecraft in a worldpainter world? I'm making a world in worldpainter with a specific modpack in mind, and a big part of that is modded structures and dungeons, but I'm not entirely sure how to get those to spawn in the world

The imposing inanimate? I watched penda's fen and I couldn't get these scenes in particular out of my head. The appearance of the statues really made me feel something, they look so out of place almost personal in a way (really fitting for the movie, very great overall).

Very mild round 2 and some considerations and questions

Tried another bong bowl about an hour ago with a bit of weed, and without forcing myself to type on the computer it wasn't as bad, but I still felt like I had to lie down immediately, after which I felt immediately better (as with last time), but again didn't get any visuals or intense bodily effects (like folding). I did improve my bong technique and was able to get more of an effect from a smaller bowl (probably not reverse tolerance) and I think the weed improved the comedown (not entirely sure about the "trip" itself).
It definitely is a very weird psychological feeling as well and I think I'd like to explore further into that. It is like I am in a fucked up realistic vivid dream where I'm conscious in my mind but I feel disconnected from my body, and I am shocked when my thoughts actually move my body, and part of me doesn't like that, so maybe that foreign feeling is why I feel like I need to lie down?
That state is some form of dissociation correct?
I think I'm interested in how I could experiment with that while doing something in real life/on a screen. From what I've read I know that doing something visual can destroy the visions of salvia, but how about the psychological effects? Since the psychological effects feel the most powerful while I'm up and doing something I'm guessing I could maintain it but I doubt it would last any longer than when I can tell I am fully down from the "trip" while lying down. For a longer experience would quidding still work for this level or more of dissociation? With quidding I would hope that I could get the psychological effects of the quid (I would give 3g a try, might be too little) while doing something and that it would last longer. Something that I am kind of feeling hesitant towards is lying down in the dark with a quid, as I'm just worried it's not going to be entirely worth it for the time I spend there (not a big meditation guy in the first place, sorry).
If it's even possible with the motion feelings I may try going outside with it (either to smoke it some place safe outside, smoke then immediately go outside, or have a quid in my mouth as I'm walking around outside). Has anybody had any experience with doing something like this?
This post is poorly put together I am aware

Zero effect?

I got the dry leaf in the mail, and I packed the bowl on my bong and used a torch zippo lighter to burn it. First bowl there was absolutely nothing, smoke wasn't as harsh as I was expecting. Second bowl it felt like I was coming down with the effects of oxygen deprivation or something, but zero visuals at all, not a single dollop of light of a cev. Doing it in a fairly dark room also with a meditation mask so I can have my eyes open.
Then I tried chewing a gram, over about an hour, and again absolutely nothing.
Should I just upgrade to an extract or is it worth giving the leaf another try?
Is this expected or do I just have a bad genotype or something? Pretty disappointed, I had pretty modest goals, literally just wanted to have some mental imagery/cev, in return got nothing.
I'm honestly hoping that what I felt really was oxygen deprivation but I may be lying to myself here.
This is what I wrote immediately during and after taking the hit and feeling it:
Starting at 9:35 pm 6/20/2026
My body itself is really uncomfortable to drive. Gravity feels uncomfortable. And I feel traspped int prison mide. A few minutes later and I feel basically fine if not a little dull. I think that might have been oxygen deprivation or something. I just felt incredibly heavy and like my mind was being raped by my body, I felt like I was being forcibly dragged along while typing this instead of crashing into bed. Or like my head was a massive weight attached to a twig body and I was falling forward.
Again, zero visuals or anything desirable only a terrible body feeling. Is this an intended effect that people plow through to get to the good stuff, did I pussy out?
Honestly my disappointment right now feels worse than that effect so I might try it again and push further with more insight. Also going to do research into where to get an extract

Can anybody speak to quidding or smoking while playing videogames?

I'm pretty curious to in what way salvia could affect (or possibly enhance) other experiences, especially something where you have control like a videogame (primarily flatscreen, although VR does sound much more interesting).
Obviously the dose would have to be low enough to not terribly inhibit your thinking or fine motor control, and I know that a lot of good that comes from a low dose salvia comes from isolating your mind (i.e... black), as I've heard of a lot of people who don't get great trips because they're not focused inward.
If there is anybody who has tried this, would you describe the experience as positive, negative (whether because it was unpleasant, or because it was incredibly underwhelming), or mildly interesting?
I'm interested in if your immersion or interest in the game itself increases, or if it's uncomfortable or trivial.
I know everybody is different but it would be interesting to at least hear some trip reports from people who have tried this.

Games with extravagant maps?

I've been playing darktide a lot recently, and something that I really enjoy about the game is the extravagant maps (both on the playable scale and the world scale). Are there any games with maps comparable to darktide's?

Looking to try smoking dry leaf and looking for advice.

Can anybody give me any advice on smoking dry leaf?
It will be my first time using salvia (or any potent drug, besides weed of course, and I guess mugwort lol).
I know that a bong is probably the ideal way, but that's a large commitment as I'm not really a bong smoker for weed or anything else.
I'm not sure how many milligrams or grams to use, I'm not looking for a total breakthrough but I would like to get some mental imagery (probably going to get a meditation mask or something).
I'm purchasing from a fairly reputable source.

Any way to increase iron sight visibility? (either vanilla or through mods, will do anything)

So I'm having some issues lining up the iron sights (especially on handguns and the AK) because the visibility is pretty poor, either due to the map lighting, my headset (using virtual desktop on quest 3), or just because of my eyes (+6 prescription, although I can actually see pretty well and can line up irons irl fine even without my glasses, which I don't wear in VR because 1. Very uncomfortable, and 2. Actually seems to make my vision worse in tandem with the vr lenses, which aren't even the vr prescription lenses).
I was wondering if there was some kind of mod, setting, or technique you can use to see the irons better, or if it's just a skill issue on my part.
I've tried holding the gun closer to my face, but that feels pretty unnatural and I found it makes my accuracy worse even if I do manage to seemingly line up the irons.
It actually seems to work better with night vision, because 1. Obviously better lighting, and 2. It achieves what bringing the gun closer to the face does without having to add more chances for failure.
This is pretty consistent across most vr games for me.

Notice what all of the faux-brutalist buildings have in common, they all make an attempt to appear stylish or avant-garde, and in doing so, drastically increase the cost and effort to create the building.
Answer me, what function does having the layers of the first building jut outwards and inwards serve? And what does having the layers of the second building unaligned and balancing on the bottom layers serve? And what functionality does making the third building a clusterfuck serve?
I'll answer for you. Stylization. Those design features are only there to make the building look nice or complex.
I wouldn't say these buildings are necessarily unattractive, but they certainly aren't brutalist.
Brutalism prioritizes cost and functionality over form and aesthetics, but these buildings are violating those tenets. So I don't think these are fair examples to provide when discussing brutalism. These are more contemporary than anything.
I would say true-brutalism is industrial in nature, because the buildings are meant to serve a function over everything else. You don't see industrial structures being stylized like the faux-brutalist examples.
Back to what I was saying about TRYING to appear "avant-garde." The keyword there is "trying." The avant-garde appearance is something that true-brutalism achieves without putting in any aesthetic design choices. True brutalist buildings are inherently avant-garde, because they exist outside of the expected stylization that comes with architecture, there is no effort made to make the building appear stylish. But in faux-brutalism, the avant-garde nature comes from an intention, it is trying to capture what true brutalism achieves effortlessly. There is functional avant-garde, then there is non-functional avant-garde, that is, avant-garde FOR THE SAKE OF being avant-garde.
Once you start wasting time and money by figuring out how to arrange the concrete blocks in a way that is appealing to the eye, while ignoring the functionality (or lack thereof) of the choices that you're making, you have left the territory of brutalism and have entered the territory of contemporary architecture.
Not saying I don't like the first three buildings, but if I said I liked brutalism, there would be no way in hell I would present those buildings as examples (and people actually do! LOL!)
The CIA couldn't torture or drug me into presenting those buildings as brutalist.
But I would be ecstatic to present the last three, because those are true brutalist buildings that actually follow the philosophy of brutalism.
This is just to say that when people say they like brutalism, they are, oftentimes, presenting incorrect examples.
