      Meth has a large number of useful applications. And most meth users I’ve known have been comparatively civil, soft-spoken, and fun at parties.

        The people I’ve known who used meth are great to have on your side in a fight. The problem is they tend to just get in a lot of fights anyway.

        Unless you meant “meth user” as people who need Adderall and similar stimulants? That’s definitely not the same thing lol

          Desoxyn is legally prescribed meth. Adderall isn’t quite the same thing, but Desoxyn definitely is.

          Which to be honest if you ask heavy amphetamine users amphetamine and methamphetamine aren’t that different anyway.

            Desoxyn is legally prescribed meth. Adderall isn’t quite the same thing, but Desoxyn definitely is.

            Not entirely true. Methamphetamine has two enantiomers, dextro-methamphetamine and levo-methamphetamine. Desoxyn is 100% dextro-methamphetamine, while most street meth will be a racemic mixture containing practically equal amounts of each enantiomer.

            Which to be honest if you ask heavy amphetamine users amphetamine and methamphetamine aren’t that different anyway.

            I would say this isn’t true either. Both impact the CNS is much the same way, but the addition of the methyl group allows for meth to much more easily cross the blood brain barrier, producing markedly more psychological and euphoric effects. Methamphetamine also lasts 2-3 times as long.

      issue is you can’t really play league without playing with the type of people to play league. that’s enough for me to say no thank you, no matter the game mode or whatnot

        I mean, you are definitionally correct. League players are the type of people to play League.

        There are great ways to enjoy League without having to interact with League players. For one, there is the PVE digital card game Legends of Runeterra, which has a really satisfying RPG roguelike mode with long term progression. I have likely put over a hundred hours into this and spent zero dollars.

        There’s also a new single player feature for Wild Rift which lets you fight AI opponents trained on player matches. You can edit the ranked skill level of the AI and pick/make them play any champion. There are dozens of hours of good times here alone. Again, completely funded by cosmetic purchases of other players and free to enjoy.

        Personally, I think turning off chat and teaming up with players you got along with is more than enough to compensate for the “type of people” issue. Playing with pure randoms in any online game is not great for sanity. But lots of folks are looking to make friends and are good co-op partners if you’re willing to DM them.

          The matchmaking dynamic has ruined a lot of games and LoL is no exception. I do think folks play up the bad vibes on LoL relative to everything from Overwatch to Valorant to fucking Roblox. If you’re not going into these games with a group of local friends, you’re either going to have a bad time or you’re going to be the bad time other people experience.

            you’re either going to have a bad time or you’re going to be the bad time other people experience.

            To be fair this can be applied to any multiplayer vs game. Once youve removed your own bad time from the equation it’s a pretty fun competitive experience.
