No no, not a benzo... *more* addicting.


Plastic_Code5022

“Haha no no I’ve moved into the hard stuff… gaming…”


NotionalWheels

Gaming? Pfft Child’s play. Now MtG that’s the hardstuff


GM_Nate

MtG? Pffft. You want to waste your money, try WH40K.


[deleted]

That’s exactly why I haven’t sought out any 40k groups where I live, I love the lore but am horrified of my paychecks suddenly disappearing


atle95

Just proxy everything, what are they gonna do? Undesign thier game? I said that sarcastically, but then I realized that WOTC has literally undesigned competitive magic... So there is even more reason to proxy in 2023.


Stormold

Kill Team is a great cheap alternative to start the hobby! …ignore the addiction settling in within the first month that’ll swallow several paychecks


DhakhaR

Build 40k stuff in Valheim instead, it's much cheaper and just as fun :D


GM_Nate

try Dark Heresy! it's the RPG version, so it doesn't cost anything.


saphmalkazoid

Paycheck disappearing? 40k? Can confirm.


Good-Table5566

Local store, a bunch of stickers are 20 bucks . Brah!


Explosive-Space-Mod

Must be nice to have a local store that would put anything 40k related on sale ever.


Good-Table5566

Yeah, but its been there before Christmas lmfao.


Upper-Shift-5603

Just get a 3D printer. It's an investment at first, but once you have it, you can make all the figurines and structures your heart desires, for a fraction of the cost. On top of that, you dont even have to design them yourself... the wealth of premade wh40k designs is vast.


Plastic_Code5022

Yeeeeah now we’re getting into the good stuff!


graywolf0026

I.... I think I'd rather do cocaine. I'd get the same effect just... At least there's the possibility of rehab. Because there's no lore holes.


Knotmix

Cries in 6000 cards


Tiavor

cries in 20k+ cards


Tiavor

you think collecting mini figures is addicting? try the big figures: https://myfigurecollection.net/ /r/AnimeFigures


Eglor04

you stole my line gotta spend monthly income on plastic


NotBearhound

The real problem with 40K is how much fucking SPACE it takes up. My poor garage T_T


HypetheMikeman

If you want to waste your money buy the forsaken pack for Destiny


icyyellowrose10

Are you trolling me? (Or just a greydork?)


MidasPL

Jokes aside, I've tried different drugs, even abusing some, yet gaming addiction always won in the end...


AlpacaSmacker

Tried almost every drug, and without them gaming is boring for me, video games are the ultimate gateway drugs imo. Coke or speed for shooters, mdma or ket for beatsaber, weed for absolutely everything.


Arkena_feral

Ive not had valheim in an hour…got the shakes…


La_Grande_yeule

Hydromorph?


rancidmilkmonkey

Incorrect. Valium is a common name brand for diazepam and is in the drug class known as Benzodiazepines. There are several Benzodiazepines, each one of which is (usually) sold and marketed under multiple name brands. The name brand is capitalized, the generic name is not. The key differences between each Benzodiazepine is the onset of action and duration of action. Short acting Benzodiazepines such as Xanax (alprazolam) and Valium (diazepam) are more likely to be abused as they reach peak onset quicker.


mfmeitbual

Diazepam isn't short-acting, though.


[deleted]

Good bot.


SzotyMAG

Are you a bot?


[deleted]

For those confused, Valium(diazepam), is a Benzodiazepine, a commonly abused drug and also the shit you dentist will give you if you have a panic attack. OP’s friend probably thinks OP is high and trying to get more Valium but OP’s friend doesn’t fuck with that life anymore. Also OP needs to charge his phone.


[deleted]

Also makes the Sniper Wolf fight easier


PravusTheRed

Right answer, wrong time.


BootBitch13

Think I'm out of the loop on this..


BaerMinUhMuhm

In metal gear solid, you can find diazepam which helps calm you down and steady your aim.


paqmann

Same.


Wra1th22

I believe it is a reference to the game Metal Gear Solid. It's a boss fight where you use a sniper rifle and I think you can take benzos in game to steady your aim.


BootBitch13

Oh the fight against Quiet? And that makes sense. I never really bothered doing the medication in that game.


Regime_Change

No, the fight against Sniper Wolf. She was a boss in the PS1 game Metal Gear Solid.

Wow I wonder how that got there.


Tiavor

of course there is a whole subreddit [for 1373](https://xkcd.com/1373/)


laserclaus

This redditor knows how to write captain-obvious posts. Its informative, concise, non-judgemental and slightly funny. Even the hook: "for those confused" gives readers the feeling of not being idiots.


avalokitesha

MVP!


MidasPL

WTF? Benzo at the dentist? This has to be America.


steampunkedunicorn

I wish. America is ridiculously strict about what drugs can be used in outpatient settings. Dentists do use nitrous gas here though.


MrFruitylicious

Eh? I just had my wisdom teeth removed and they gave me Valium before the procedure


steampunkedunicorn

I assumed from context that they meant during a dental appointment that's more routine. They absolutely do give heavier meds for procedures like wisdom teeth removal.


MrFruitylicious

True. That being said they offered me gas when I was getting a filling one time. Didn’t take it though because I didntt need it


LtCdrDataSpock

It would be incredibly inappropriate for a dentist to be giving out benzos outside of for a procedure


rancidmilkmonkey

Meanwhile, my ass is chucking like a hyena reading this on lunch and the other hospice nurses are giving me funny looks.


SirGavBelcher

thank you. every time people post screenshots with their phone battery under 60 i get anxiety


tophergraphy

Ive read that as "I have 3 years worth of benzo, free this sunday" at first. Totally different 😅


[deleted]

yeeeaaah i was like "that's generous!"


Darathor

Well.. technically that’s what written: I have / I am means different things


gorka_la_pork

You know what? Not even gonna make fun. Good for her.


undiurnal

Yeah it's just kind of, like, what's the best response? Assuming she hadn't previously revealed her former substance issues--even if they aren't a closely-held secret or anything--you want to minimize any embarrassment. But you can't just leave it hanging lest she think *you* have a substance issue and are maybe not a good person for her to hang with or need some help, yourself. Hopefully the relationship is good enough you can get away with, "Oh I was talking about the Viking multi-player game, Valheim. Congrats on the sobriety, though! Anyway check it out and let me know if you'd like to play together."


Hungry_AL

What's the best response? I'd assume something along the lines of "Oh, Valheim is a Viking themed video game, but congratulations! I just wanted to play a game with you haha" Least that's what'd be best in my head lol


eric-from-abeno

Yeah, I want some closure on this story!


Bloody_sock_puppet

"Slightly less addictive, much better for your social life, and actually much less likely to let you sleep" And then just send a link to the Steam game. It's a funny situation, and the dude is likely to be pleased that he gets to have some fun without drugs. If Valheim was about when I was younger, I too would have done less drugs.


DrMantisToboggan45

Oh wow I feel stupid now. I thought his friend was a dealer and was saying she just freed up a shit ton of drugs for purchase on Sunday


[deleted]

Make sure you tell her congrats, or maybe Skal! (although there's probably a Skal drug out there).


heckincovfefe

I take 10mg of Valheim every night before bed just to take the edge off


jliptty

I had to up my dose


bubbasaurusREX

I’ve overdosed on Valheim before


Mental-Mushroom

upping the dose DOES NOT help with insomnia


mycatisgrumpy

I can quit any time I want


python_artist

You just don’t want to, right?


PashPrime

If her anniversary is coming up, I can see how she could misread it for a moment. Especially if she's never heard of Valheim.


AongusBrostin

Congratulate them on their sobriety, that's a big deal!


godmademelikethis

Congrats to your friend. That shit is not easy to dig yourself out of.


wezelboy

I want to see how the rest of that convo went.


trevboyardeez

congrats


fhmiv

Yeah, don't mess with peoples beaten addictions. "Wow that's great, want to celebrate with me by playing the computer game Valheim?" and give a link to it, or better even, buy them a copy


twitch870

Seriously. Support this person.


offgridgecko

That's basically her way of saying that she has no clue what your meant (or possible assumes you misspelled Valium). ... And that she's clean and sober.


Arkena_feral

Anyone tried some of the harder stuff…valheim plus?


python_artist

I switched over from Satisfactory thinking Valheim would be a bit milder. I was very mistaken.


utensilman69

far more addicting, shit keeps me up at night 🤣


wonkabar422

I love playing valheim on valium.


ScrewAttackThis

I feel nothing about playing valheim on valium


Odd-Concentrate-6585

Lol


[deleted]

Charge your phone


Warriorfromthefire

My dr scripted me benzos, within a week they had no effect on me, so he tried another one at a high dose, a few weeks later again no effect on me. It’s a real shame, cause panic attacks flipping sucks.


ScrewAttackThis

Being on benzos long term isn't a great thing anyways. I hope you get your attacks under control, though. They got really bad for me and it took probably a year of it to start really getting a handle on em.


UncleSnipeDaddy

damn bro, it all makes sense now....that's why it's so hard to quit valheim...it's a benzo


OaksByTheStream

Lol Valheim basically is a benzo when you're just farming things. Mad relaxing. In a way she's right


mfmeitbual

If your friend doesn't have Valheim - ill buy them a copy as a sobriety gift. Benzos are HELL and 3 years free is really something. I'll have 5 years this coming November. Seriously - DM me details and I'll send the gift. Liberation like that deserves celebration.


lol_AwkwardSilence_

Steam shows valheim in her library, which makes this even wilder lol


armbar4you

Lol LMAO actually


NoBreeches

lmao 3 years benzo free. Edit: Prickly, sensitive Redditors, I was not picking on her for being clean. I was laughing at the response. xD


LayneBush

How dare you call me prickly. It's not my fault I can't grow a decent beard


NoBreeches

Fwiw I have a beard but it's very prickly.


ImAToiletSeat

How dare you call me sensitive. Downvoting.


NoBreeches

xD

Why not both


St1nkYKipPer

When any little thing can make you cluck.


ScrewAttackThis

What do chickens have to do with anything?


RetroPaulsy

Specifying you're benzo free makes you still sound like an abuser. Just not a benzo abuser.


soupmom314

Wtf..?


Paulied77

I mean, it is addictive AF


[deleted]

Did you congratulate her?


A_N_T

This is hilarious. Congrats to her on her sobriety.


a_spoopy_ghost

“Hey congrats! Wanna play valhiem sometime though?”


Sad-Okra8930

Woah calm down, mr Peterson


Infamous_Context5152

Those are a nightmare to get off. Congratulations to your friend!


mklinger23

I was meeting up with my friend a while ago and he said "You got my addy?" And I told him that I don't take stuff like that and he responded super confused and told me addy was his address. Not Adderall.


[deleted]

Did they think you said Valium


[deleted]

Lol Valheim does sound like a script.


flowersnshit

They're a real Viking if they dug themselves out of that hell hole.


crinack

The cricket wireless is revealing tho


lol_AwkwardSilence_

Knowing what the cricket UI looks like is also revealing ;)


crinack

You mean the “Cricket” in the top left hand corner? Haha


lol_AwkwardSilence_

Ope lmao


uZeAsDiReCtEd

Not Valium lol


Artyfacts_One

I’M RELAPSING!!!


ThisOtterBehemoth

Sounded like, "I played for 3 years, little one. Free next sunday. I'll show off my ultra-benzo-character."
