I’m providing my experience trying to game with windows-based friends.

Durban Poison is high in THCv which is a cannabinoid that acts like a stimulant, and it does effect people with ADHD similarly.

Today, hemp farmers are growing THCv and CBDv dominant strains, such as Forbidden V, Eraser V and fruit sourz.

I have hundreds of games in steam. Some had poor or broken play with games Windows users play together without issues.

I think this community is a bit defensive. I have hundreds of games in my steam library that I play. A large number with multiplayer, I have had issues with my windows friends.

Most recently the pain in the ass games have been AoE4, and BeamMP. AoE4 crashes in muliplayer, there is a patch for that crash on protondb, but it seems I’m also impacted by an AMD related bug that happens intermittently and will restart X at a random times specifically due to playing AoE4. Tried various kernels and video cards, still crashes.

BeamMP, looks like a lot of people have this issue, some have been able to resolve it.

Civ6 used to have stability issues, the Linux client is a joke, I use the proton version because it’s more stable.

We’re gonna act like Bronze doesn’t mean broken sometimes? Okay.

This is the sort of honest discourse we should be having in the community. The recent advances are nothing short of amazing, and I can play tons of great games with my windows friends, but there are some games, that left me, and sometimes them with terrible experiences.

Nothing like investing over an hour into a game with friends only to crash due to some Linux specific issue.

Ummm, I say that because I’m the friend in the friend group where the games don’t work sometimes, and I’m not going to pretend like that isn’t the case simply because I’m a FOSS advocate.

I own a steam deck, I have decades of experience with Linux as a Desktop, server, and even some years doing game development, so it’s not for a lack of effort.

It’s undoubtedly a fact that some mainstream games don’t work at all, or well enough that you’ll play seamlessly with your windows friends. Even protondb admits hundreds of outright borked games. Being dishonest about this does more harm than good.

It’s amazing what Steam, Valve, AMD, etc, have done recently for Linux gaming, but it’s not the YotLD yet.

Great, but I can still only realistically play a portion of my library with friends on Windows.

I doubt the teacher’s union has the resources of the church. Nor do they have the time-tested global systematic approach to abusing children, unless common core gotcha mad.

Right, well even though San Diego might have state park beach front property, we shouldn’t have a tent city filling it up. This quickly becomes unhygienic, and crime rises, among other issues.

Also gerrymandering

What does it matter if it came from a friend?

I have an otherwise intelligent friend, well educated and runs many successful businesses. Casually during a conversation, he pulls put a fryd vape and starts smoking it. I educated him on the potential risks.

He was completely oblivious to the risks. The veneer provided by legit looking packaging, websites, store fronts lure the consumer into a false sense of security.

These gray market vapes contain boof juice that’s has zero form of regulation on what you’re inhaling into your lungs.

Legal dispensaries require very strict tracking, testing, regulation, enforcement.

Rule of thumb is to not trust any vape you didn’t buy at a legal dispensary.

Fake packaging, and even prefilled fakes can be purchased in bulk online.

You only get one set of lungs. The mediocre high you might get isn’t worth the potential long term damage.

If you can source clean concentrate, you can learn to fill your own with a few basic items. Much safer than BM carts.

/r/fakecartridges on reddit has a lot more info, I’m not sure what the lemmy equivalent is.

One of these days these guys is gonna…

Not sure why you’re being downvoted.

Teens can unwittingly purchase altnoid vapes from gas stations, smoke shops, instagram, and more.

Buying boof vapes poise a much higher risk than other fake “marijuanas”.

To anyone dabbling in that lifestyle, it is not worth it. Only trust legal dispensaries. On the black/grey markets, you could be inhaling heavy metals, solvents, toxins, and other things you shouldn’t be vaporizing into your lungs.

You only get one pair of lungs, take care of them, lung damage is permanent. Vaping unregulated oils can risk things such as, chest pain, chemical burns, diminished breathing, headaches, lipoid pneumonia, collapsed lung.

It is possible to buy both fake packaging, and prefilled vapes in fake packaging from China.

If that’s not an option, look into making your own distillate. It’s cheaper and cleaner, it tastes better, and you don’t support terrible practices.
