It's actually pretty okay

It's actually pretty okay

Their stand-in for Fauci going to hell for eternity was a little too on-the-nose but other than that it's a great little show

Fauci

That's Kissinger

I liked it alot. I hope it gets [AS]/Max to actually invest money into short season narritive shows.
Writting got a little shakey at the end and I feel it overloads on characters but I really enjoyed the ride.

I disagree with anyone bitching and crying about the animation/art style. I think the animation is great and the art style is unique and stands out.

can't contain his greed, even when it's for something that will save his life, downs like ten mushrooms at once

overdoses and gets trapped in a hell of his own making

Nobody watched this bullshit, this is just Velma for men who wanna feel like dudeweedlmao without actually doing any of those icky drugs or talking to those people who sell you the icky drugs

Tbf actively doing hallucinogenics is fucked behavior. 3-4 trips should be enough for any normal person

So cool!

Ugly, poorly written show just like scavengers reign.

Why is the artstyle SO FUCKING UGLY?
Jesus

tfw curious about what I'd see on mushrooms but also terrified about what kind of demons might await me in there

I've heard trips are like the cave Luke went into on Dagobah in Empire, it's only what you take in with you. Any truth to that?

did mushrooms once

had been drinking because of the nerves

felt nothing weird, just drunk

Shut up onionsfag

It’s not ugly

Yeah, you are

Stop looking at the mirror

Turn the monitor off

It's different for everyone and depends on the amount but generally speaking, yes. Seeing yourself in a vision confronting a representation of your darker potential is absolutely something you could experience on shrooms. The how it manifests itself depends on the individual

I did LSD in college once, I swam around with a friendly manta ray in my parents' pool for a couple of hours
It was fun but no big eyeopening lifechanging experience

it's only what you take in with you. Any truth to that?

Yes and no. It basically allows you to drop any mental barriers and makes you think of things from a coldy brutal point of view. So for example if someone already believes there might be a god but it seems to silly from a logical perspective, mushrooms will allow them to not be hindered and reach the natural end point that if everything is created then everything is connected. But it is not all hippy dippy or spiritual. Another example is if someone believes democracy does not work and nothing changes mushrooms could allow that person to reach the logical end point which the person would never indulge socially: violence is the only driver for change and they must begin the cycle of it. This leads to either people letting go of mental gymnastics and accepting something about themselves they choose to ignore or they can enter psychosis. This is all multiplied by the fact that your brain when under the effects of mushrooms or LSD makes connections in places it normally shouldn't. You know why people see sound? They see sound becuase their brain is literally crossing those parts of the nervous system together. This makes your body extremely sensitive too and can make you feel physical sensations you would have never imagined because your conciousness is linked to your nervous system. This literally causes you to feel like you are dying as your conciousness struggles to maintain coherent thought patterns or to process new path ways being formed across the brain. Your ego literally falls apart and that is when people start to have panic attacks, but after enough time the feeling of you dying slips away and you feel like nothingness. Like you are gone and any perception of "self" or "I am person called anon" dissapears into a void. You're like a vegetable and by this point you have reached the peak of the trip and are in a completely different world so to speak. Literal dreaming while still awake.

......and people pay good money for such an experience?

it depends on the dose. lower doses are possible to party on. higher doses will make you useless for several hours.

I tried taking a big dose of shrooms I bought from a reliable source (they're legal to sell where I live) and they did absolutely nothing. I tried taking an even higher dose and again, absolutely nothing. I think I'm on so much psychiatric medication (I have 5 different pills I take every night) that my brain is now incapable of having psychedelic experiences. I've also tried smoking weed and it's done nothing despite being able to get really high off it years before. I guess I'm just not meant to have fun with drugs.

I haven't watched this yet. It has Mike Judge, is it any good?

You have to make it into a tea
But you're not far off, I got a friend with ADHD and between that and the medication for it he's completely immune to weed. The good effects anyway, he still gets the red eyes and the munchies.

Yes, just don't expect Mike Judge comedy outside 3-4 moments across 10 episodes. This is more suspense, with a different writer's room.

I think it is neat.

Hmm, I wonder what that guy on the left started doing a couple of years after that photo was taken...

Yes, it's cool to see him putting his weight behind it and giving them the room to make it theirs, and I think he does a really good job with his main voice role, making for a surprisingly endearing character that many would have made a caricature.

Rusty was far too based for this sinful earth

Sadly I doubt it's gonna get a season 2 and is quietly going to be shelved because they're worried about backlash from people who aren't supporting Luigi. Definitely hope they don't end it on a cliffhanger because of that.

i've got good news for you

They gave this a season 2 despite being massively controversial, yet they canned Inside Job wtf?

Who? The incel who shot up a CEO? That shit left the news cycles ages ago, it's all about muh eggs and Vance's face and muh tariffs these days

Max pre-approves the second season as a standard practice, they did the same thing with Velma

cocaine

Jonas was more Klaus schwab than Kissinger or Fauci.

Max pre-approves the second season as a standard practice, they did the same thing with Velma

ah ok that makes way more sense.

Who? The incel who shot up a CEO? That shit left the news cycles ages ago, it's all about muh eggs and Vance's face and muh tariffs these days

show aired right after that happened.

If you're afraid of that, drop acid. When you drop acid, everything around you is trippy. When you shroom, you are the trip.

I turned into my grandpa in the 1970s who for some reason did my job

Experienced ego death where I didn't trust my environment

Had heightened senses, especially hearing and smell

Sat on a council of immortal beings like in Kingdom Come and presented the case for humanity to be preserved

Saw that NPC get their thoughts from a word bank they're tied to collectively

Realized the material world is the end result of the natural world because man are natural creatures and created the material world which is made only if things found in the natural world

On acid, stuff just melts and movies are better.

Frankly i'm shocked that show this good is airing on the same block as Rick & Morty and Squidbillies.
It has it's edgier moments. But the characters and the story are suprisingly wholesome and down to earth.

It's like a michael crichton novel with some jokes here and there.

Cocaine and "just following orders," just like those good ol' future NASA scientists

Could you fuck off to Anon Babble already?

We're trying to talk about drugs and horrible artsyles and we can't focus with you beating around the bush about how much you hate Drumblf because he's mean to trannies or eggs or the canadian prime minister or whatever the fuck the script told you this week

Why do they have to make all the characters look ugly?

.....well, some days my depression gets so bad I can only curl up in bed and let the sweet oblivion of sleep take me away. Honestly not sure if a bad trip would be much more worse than my worst days

Marshall is somehow both a very conventional, and unconventional hero.
He wants to save the world by getting the mushroom into as many sick peoples hands as possible. But his idealism constantly bumps up against the reality of the world.

It's the contrast between the adult swim style artstyle and a serious hitchcock thriller style story that makes it stand out.

still not 100% clear what the long term effects of the mushrooms are

It's gonna bite everyone in the ass hard, mark my words. You don't get to cheat death all willy nilly without consequences, not in this universe

that wasnt fauci, you retard

consequences will never be the same, but i wonder to what degree it'll all vary re: aerosol cool ranch spray, tincture water, the new batch from half bro etc.

so good

new batch of pure mushrooms

Everyone starts seeing the little humanoids, goes crazy

tincture water

People get a huge boost in energy/motivation, goes full OCD with everything, starts seeing the little humanoids, goes crazy

aerosol cool ranch

Absolutely nothing at first since it's so processed buy then everyone who ate some goes full blown Akira style flesh monsters that also sprout billions of new mushrooms, leaving everyone a horrifying monstrosity of pain that can only beg for the release of a death that will never come, starts seeing the little humanoids, goes crazy.

My theory is that it's going to unite everyone in some kind of hive mind. Like instrumentality from Evangelion

whatever the fuck the script told you this week

I never got one, actually. What does yours say?

Pay? Not really. People most often just try and grow it and fuck up because they don't know how to keep out black mold.

Honestly not sure if a bad trip would be much more worse than my worst days

Take it from someone who went down that route: steer clear.

You have it a lot better than what you think you have. There's depression and bleakness and then there is dissociative episodes. That inner sadness and despair reminds you that you are alive and you can use that to drive you. When you hit yourself you still feel that pain and cry when you look back on your failings. But once you encounter a traumatic experience due to a bad trip (and it is a matter of when, not if) you're not playing with severe emotional lows anymore. You are dealing with a completely different state of mind where everything feels numb and you can't fully register your own senses. Hitting yourself does not phase and when you look back on anything related to your trauma it's not just being teary eyed, you're body loses control. People that you love seem like distant set pieces and you can't sleep because falling asleep reminds yourself of going into a trip. You are tired but terrified of sleeping and you can't distract yourself with the outside world or friends because all you will be thinking about is how distant the world is, almost like your mind is not all anchored and everything is just a movie. I feel like I have lost a part of me I will never get back and that only god can save me at this point.

Trust me anon, you really don't need it.

there are scripts

WHY THE FUCK WAS I NOT TOLD?!?!

I would claim otherwise. The story is the only reason I'm interested in this show. The impression I got from all the images I saw of it was that it was another sitcom for adults with an ugly art style. I would not have tried this if friends insisted it wasn't.

I get the feeling there's not gonna be a good payoff for the mysteries in the show, mystery box shit

Lost for dudeweedlmaos

Thanks for the advice, shroom-anon. I'm sorry that all happened, I sincerely hope things get better for you

Because there aren't, just can't wrap his mind around someone disliking King Puppet for reasons besides supporting the controlled opposition of the current season.

Max pre-approves the second season as a standard practice

except this isnt that situation. the creators didn't even think of a second season until near the end of this one. they pitched a second season after seeing the positive feedback

And now you're spoilerposting like a woman?

SHUT

THE

FUCK

UP

ABOUT

TRUMP

ALREADY

You got discords for this bullshit if Anon Babble is still too edgy for you, fuck off already

Yes yes yes, I'm sure they're super hecking shocked about the surprising positive reception and are already recording new lines and animating new frames based solely on the positive reception it got in these couple of weeks.

Wake up, they did the same shit with Velma, Max can't afford to be seen admitting to making duds because they're already the runt of the streaming services.

You never told me what your script says. I feel like I'm missing out on some important context...

I like the premise but watched a clip and immediately disliked the main character
Is he "dude drugs are definitely not a huge waste of time and actually the answer to everything" the whole time?

He's more of a pussy soi quiet ecologist type who hecking hates Big Pharma, but in a really childish immature sort of way.

The entire point of the show is that there is a mushroom that heals everything, stabs/gunshots/flu/terminal illness/death, but such a miracle drug would destroy big pharma
It has nothing to do with recreational weed/shrooms/acid/dmt or whatever, it's a focused narrative

But is he mouthpiece for a bunch of whiny drug users wrtiers who claims we shouldn't advance as a species because mushrooms might get sad?

Not really, for being the main character he doesn't really talk much. We get more of his neurotic awkward uhg side if anything, he has trouble relating to other people.
If anything the woman who works FOR big pharma is the annoying mouthpiece in this bullshit.

When I got high of shrooms on the come down I just legitimately kept repeating un my head "I should go outside into the woods and kill a bear. I could totally kill a bear. I should kill a bear and wear it's skull and pelt on my head. I could do it, I should do it. It would be the greatest thing I could do with my life right now"

I still don't know why the fuck I kept looping on that.

Retard, they don't "pre-approve" a second season
They produce a batch of episodes and then split it into two.

Exactly, it's just bullshit corpo talk so the investors don't catch wind on how Max is a massive waste of money and it's only increasing their debt.

This show was greenlit and produced by [as]. Max has nothing to do with it outside of streaming.

That's the thing for me. The terrible style doesn't sell the show for me. I keep reading it's good, so I might try when I have some time, but if it wasn't for that, I wouldn't bother.
It's animation, it's a visual medium, it needs to be appealing to the eye.

So these threads are gonna be pretty lousy in the off season huh

The show itself was pretty lousy

this show just glorifies drugs btw I haven't watched it

this show has ugly art btw I haven't watched it

this show has a bad plot btw I haven't watched it

this show isn't very funny btw I watched it but wasn't paying attention to plot

Common Side Effects threads are gonna be DEAD in the wait for Season 2

So critique it then, let's have some good faith discourse
What are the plot holes, the inconsistencies, illogical out-of-character actions, things that don't make sense?
Like it or dislike it doesn't matter, I want to hear objective issues with it, that's interesting

Then its accurate to the reception out there in the real world.
Nobody fucking watched it but somehow everyone knows about the viral clip with the cops dancing, just ask them if they know the white cop is a woman and they'll look at you like a deer in headlights.

if you look close rick does the same coin flipping motion as jonas when he's worried, only with no coin.

Nice, this is what i'm talking about, people. Quality contribution.
