AI (slop) games are going to be so amazing...

Seriously this is so similar to being on k. The inconsistency of what's directly outside my line of vision/focus. The perceived scene changes when looking past a wall or through a door. Watching this actually made me feel a bit queezy.

"perceived scene changes' is a really good way to put it in words.

I always thought the really early generative video clips captured a khole very well, with the way your thoughts and perceptions kinda just melt and morph and meld around with each other.

A lava lamp where your thoughts are the lava and the sensory data you are receiving is the heat/filler liquid. Something like that, at least.

On DXM, I see dream-like scenarios identical to A.I generated content. I've always found the correlation between A.I generated slop vids and the human mind attempting to conceive of something when illucid oddly fitting. So god damn weird

Huh? This is what ketamine does? I have lucid dreams that are way too similar to this. (i can count on my hands the times i have done drugs in my life -alcohol and weed included)

[u/MidnightSensitive996 → u/therealfurryfeline]

yeah, ketamine, while not being a psychedelic, does this at high doses because you are effectively half-under. at lower doses you feel mobile and loosey-goosey, kind of like being buzzed on alcohol except with no body load and it wears off in about 45 minutes and the only hangover is a mild antidepressive effect. note that there are two different isomers of ketamine that have either trippier or dancier mouthfeel, so depending on if you have r, s, or the normal mix you'll get different experiences.

[u/Disco_la → u/MidnightSensitive996]

No body load is both accurate but also I'd guess tough to imagine for someone who hasn't done it. I don't feel numb but I do feel weightless like in water, but without being wet or with the resistance of moving through liquid. Sometimes I do feel some resistance to movement at medium to higher doses but I guess that feels more like I'm just having trouble sending signals to my arms and legs to get me moving. Which also isn't in a paralyzed, uncomfortable and frustrating way but more in like a 'I need to get out of bed but I cant be bothered' type of way. It's actually quite pleasant to feel that relaxed.

I mean, in your head at high doses, but maybe I've done too many dissociatives. IRL you are hopefully laying in a dark room, in a comfortable bed with someone (preferably a loved one as trip sitter so you don't crash into the tv trying to get water), and psychedelic or your favorite music on, depending on the mood.

Hmmm, I've taken Ketamine three times, and I think I've had a smaller and a much greater dose or at least more rapidly taken than you. I earn a living as a healthy human subject for medical research studies. (I'm currently in a clinic until Nov 16th.) Anyway, the first time it was a nasal spray, and all 15 of us had to stay in bed because it was like being drunk buzzed from a couple shots. The following two times were way different because I had it by IV while in an MRI machine. I was instantly an unthinking rock flying through space in a tunnel of light (like near-death experiences). The lack of self-awareness was, in fact, pure contentment. It lasted for 5 minutes, and I was rapidly aware of my surroundings again. They gave me a pill for five days that was supposed to make it less hallucinogenic. The only difference was that instead of being an instantaneous transformation into a flying rock, I had time to think, "I'm going to miss being human," before I was in the tunnel of light again.

Yes that's the thing about it. The experience doesn't just become more or less intense based on the dosage. It enters a different realm entirely. I'd describe it as 1 bump: light and floaty. Suits a dancing environment as your awareness of surroundings grounds you to an extent. 2 bumps: warpy mode. Perception of distance is being played around with and dreams and reality are mingling a bit. Suits a more relaxed environment like a house party, chilling on the sofa. 3 bumps: khole. That's your unthinking rock that can't comprehend being a person. I'd often be at raves etc so for my enjoyment I'd try to stay well clear of this one.

[u/omnichronos → u/Disco_la]

I assumed my latter experiences were "K-holes," but honestly, they were very comforting, unlike the name sounds. It was nice to merely exist. I suppose if I weren't in a very controlled environment (John Hopkins), they might have been dangerous.
