About 15 minutes. I only use it for porn : D

jeez it takes me longer than that to decide on porn :)

Same, although i was watching porn for about 3, maybe 4 minutes. Not gonna lie.

Cheers. BB

I'm a tantric Sex God. But also over 40, drinking relatively heavily and dabbing up to half a g a day. Y'know how it goes...

I wish i did mate, i'm over 40 and a heavy drinker.

Sting with his tantric stuff was an influence on me, but only when i had to give money to Band Aid in 1984. Seems a bit too much like hard work. ;)

Cheers. BB

My mate tried VR porn, he got quite into it by all accounts. Unfortunately he lives with his parents, when he took the headset off there was a fresh cup of tea on his bedside cabinet 🤣😁

now that's loving parents

I've been in VR all my life just like the rest of you

Saw that coming - in my meta vr!!!

I've done maybe 4 hours, I switched up games though and that help you from over dosing in a single game.

Don't ask me. I still think Doom is cutting edge

I think the longest I've done in one go is about 3-4 hours. The weirdest part of VR for me was when I first got a headset, for about a week I felt like I was in VR all the time. The head-bobbing effect of walking in reality seemed exaggerated.
But all that's faded away now. I can use VR without any adverse effects except maybe a bit of eye strain for a long session.

it seems to me the more immersive the platform the tougher it gets on the body. cheap vr gets on my nerves before i get queezy, a full on setup with peripherals and i feel like its a portal just getting back to irl.

I need a break at least every 90 minutes.

According to Elon Musk over 25 years now, must say bit too realistic for my liking

Only1 hour. Played the space station game on occulus for about 10 minutes and felt so sick. Took me a good sleep before i felt better. Very disorientating!

That's gotta be the most sick inducing game on the platform, only one that can get me.

Never done VR, never Will… am I boring?

For sim racing I usually use VR and I just don't like flat screen anymore, I'll probably VR for like an hour at a time. when your high and in vr racing, battling with dudes online, it's something to really try.

2 6 hour stints on iracing 24 hours of leman.

Never used vr is it worth buying a headset these days? Half life : alyx looks good

However long my controllers lasted. So probably 8 hours or so, no issues for me by this point

hour at most - scuba diving

Deftones, Tool and Pantera all day long 💯❤️

I'll second that,deftones tool pantera to name a few,90s and 2000s metal/rock for me 🤘

The 90s had such amazing metal bands. So many genres were exploding and were so exciting. Wasn’t so keen on that rap metal mind. I loved RATM but the ones that followed like Limp Bizkit were pretty dumb.

Preach bro 💯

Sorry dude didn’t mean to offend anyone. Just didn’t personally like Limp Bizkit. Sorry.

Oh no man I’m with you on the LB thing bro, loved Korn though 😎

Oh sorry man I thought you meant I was preaching to you. Yeah I loved the first Korn album hated the 2nd but loved the 3rd album. Stopped following them after that but still like the odd track after the 3rd album. Alone I break is an awesome track.

I remember seeing Pantera at the Ozzfest back in 98. Amazing set and a wild pit not as crazy as the Soulfly pit a set later that was insane. Love early Deftones up to the White Pony album.

Celtic Frost are probably my fave out of the 1st wave black metal bands. Did you not get on with the 2nd wave of black metal? There are some great bands.

Or even avant-garde?

Fucking love Slayer. Almost find it romantic.

That is the best comment I’ve read. Ever!! It’s fucking brilliant mate!!!🤘

Meshuggah, Sikth, CB Murdoc, all for if you like something properly, properly heavy.

Alcest is love :D

Alcest is true love. I finally see them in October!! Yippee!!!

Dimmu borgir , Old mans child and dissection for me M8 .... Ave satanas

Early Dimmu Borgir for me mate. First 2 albums are great(even the ripped off track on the 2nd album) went off them when they expanded their sound.

sorgens is one of my fave tracks pity m8 i love most of their stuff although my fave albums are Puritanical and In sorte. stormblast will always hold a special place in my heart..

Didnt know this band tahnks :)

does screamo count

Of course Screamo counts man! Love myself a bit of Mice&Men and Bring Me The Horizon. Not sure if they’re Screamo bands?

I'm mid-forties now and grew up on bands like Metallica, Pantera, Machine Head and NIN. I've always been into other stuff as well but it's what I mostly listened to during my teens and twenties.

I don't listen to metal as much as I used to however I've found the old adage that your tastes mellow with age to be untrue in my case. I listen to some much heavier, more extreme bands than I used to and I'm much more open to sub genres I wouldn't have considered before.

My current favourite heavy listen is Lullabies for Eternal Sleep by Apes. Hadn't heard of them until I read a brief review that described that EP as being sort of like post-metal if all the quiet bits were replaced with nasty grindcore. One listen and I'd bought the tracks off Bandcamp. The first track, Cornwall, is savage but has such an amazing groove too.

If you like blackened stuff then check out Apes' earlier album, Lightless. Different to the latest material but still bloody good.

I pretty much listen to every metal track thrown at me with passion :D.
I love albums in every genre.
Some of my favorites bands are Decapitated, Dimmu Borgir, TBDM, born of osiris, meshuggah, lamb of god, well theres too much really ^^..

Metal is definitely a way of life.

Recently i've been listening to the Nomad album by Kublai Khan (insane tone/sound) and a gradual decline in moral by Kim Dracula, pretty strange shit but i love it haha.

1."Reign in Bud" - Slayer (A stoner metal twist on Slayer's classic "Reign in Blood")

2."Black Sabbath's Munchies" - Black Sabbath (Featuring their heaviest hits to satisfy the munchies)

3."Master of Bongs" - Metallica (An epic blend of metal and cannabis-inspired anthems)

4."Weed the Lightning" - Megadeth (Thrashing through the green haze with high-intensity riffs)

5"Paranoid and Paranoider" - Black Flag (A punk-infused, paranoia-inducing masterpiece for the metalheads who like to keep it raw)

check out Mac sabbath .... its burger vertions of sabbath songs XD

I go a lot of gigs and download/bloodstock festival. Some of the best music to have a smoke to.

Always wanted to check Bloodstock out. What’s the crowd like? Friendly?

Yeah probably the most community, friendly festival I’ve been to. Really chilled and there’s not too many people like major festivals.

NWOBHM or?

What do you mean dude?

New Wave Of British Heavy Metal

I’m old but not that old!!! Lol. Do love my Maiden though!!

Seeing Municipal Waste again in October, really looking forward to that one

Recomendations wise, I've been really digging some of the "new wave trad" by the likes of Eternal Champion and Visigoth, super cheesy power metal about goblins and dragons, epic stuff...

Thanks for the recommendations man I’ll check them out. I’m seeing Alcest in October and can’t wait for that.

Must be more then a few metalheads here on LB for sure.

Right now I'm waiting for the re-recording by the Calavera brother's of the Morbid Visions record. Absolutely can't bloody wait for that! Artwork is on point and the sound, my goodness.

But otherwise, been on a death metal vibe recently - the new 200 Stab Wounds EP and the new Kruelty record basically.

Yeah I was thinking the same,that’s why I made the post just to see what bands everyone was into.

Oh if they get that right it should be awesome. Early Sepultura rocks. Love the Arise album lost interest around Roots. That album wasn’t for me. I really like Derrick on vocals even though a lot of Max fan boys gave him a hard time when he joined.

Derrick is a much better frontman than Max

That's true and these later Sepultura albums are genuinely great!

Tonight I've been listening to Cult of Luna and Boris. Last night it was Lamp of Murmuur and Fluisteraars. I'm in my 50s. Metal seems to make more sense the older I get but then the type of metal I listen to now is different from the metal I listened to at 16. Except for Sabbath. Always Sabbath 🤘Music just keeps on getting better.

Absolutely love Cult Of Luna their Salvation album was incredible! Can’t remember if it was their debut? Give Panoption a listen man especially there again into the light album it is pure genius. Austin Lunn plays over a dozen instruments on the album. Can’t wait to see them next month on their first ever UK tour. Always Iron Maiden for me mate though I do obviously love Sabbath.

Oh yeah I love Panopticon too. I was listening to And Again... last night. Also Botanist and Wolves In The Throne Room, sheer sheets of metallic sound, hypnotic riffs it's damn psychedelic as a genre in many ways. Also into stuff like Thou and Primitive Man, I was listening to the last Wormrot album the other day. There's just so much good stuff and such massive variety that it's impossible to not like something that's "metal" if you're into music. If anyone avoids metal they should take a deep dive into all the sub genres cos they'd be surprised at how much they would probably love. From Sunn O))) to Full of Hell and all the stops in between.

I'm wearing a Primitive Man t-shirt at the moment.

Brilliant. I've got my Sleep Dopesmoker one on 🤘

Got my Alcest tee on and had my Emperor one on yesterday! Lol.

They’re ..again into the light album is so good. I found it very accessible compared to their earlier stuff. Still really enjoy their early folk metal inspired stuff. Kentucky is fantastic. I was lucky enough to see Wolves In The Throne Room a few years back. Beautiful gig. It was bombastic and majestic all at once. 🤘

I saw Panopticon a few years back over in Dutchie land, enjoyed them but haven't paid much attention to them since.Do you like Wayfarer? They do a similar type of thing kinda country tinged BM.

Really like Wayfarer too and a Scottish band called Saor. They play a similar style to Panopticon. Can’t wait to see them live,I’ve waited years for them to visit the UK. Gotta travel a few hundred miles but it will deffo be worth it. Much love.

Next years fortress festival looks up your street,

Mate it looks epic!! Panopticon are headlining day one and are playing their entire Roads To The North album!! The entire weekend looks genuinely great too.

Saw Maiden on the Powerslave tour. It was one of my first gigs. Christ I'm so fuckin old.

Would love to of saw peak Maiden.

The Boris/Uniform album sounds like it's going to be a good un.

Dad got me into metal with sabbath i have to agree nearly 40 now .... So many metal genres would not exist without them ..

Yeah Sabbath are definitely the godfathers of metal. Without them half the genres today wouldn’t exist.

and if you into black metal check out Blackbraid they just relesed their second album its Native american black metal if you like melodic stuff check em out i feel they are only going to get better...

Thanks for the recommendation man. I’ll check them out later on they sound very intriguing.

Id be worried if the airbnb has a mail redirected thing on the address,like they might get all letters sent to owners address or something,just a thought

So long as you’re there to accept the parcel who would ever know anything got delivered? I’ve delivered a lot of things to airbnbs while I was staying in them, never had an issue.

Enjoy my man 👌

Bottom

I laugh til I honestly think I’m gonna die..😂😂😳

same old dilemma should i get drunk now or should i get drunk later or am i drunk already hmm better have a little drink and think about it .... Banzia baby - that from hooligans island always cracks me up.
Yea Rick and Ade are top viewing when stoned 😁

Bottom and Ideal. 2 pints of lager maybe

Oh yes!! Lucky enough to see live in 1995 and 2003...literally in pain from laughing for hours after!!!

Fave episode?? ....Terror (The Halloween one for me) :)

I saw it live in 95!…Labbatts Apollo (as it was then!)

Gotta be the Xmas episode for me- “Gold…Frankenstein and Grrrrrrr!!…😂😍😂

An absolute classic and no mistake :)

Rik Mayall is still very much missed

He’s my all time comedy hero!

I should also admit I watch that episode every Xmas day…it’s like my Bond movie!❤️

Same. It's part of my xmas comedy holy trinity....Bottom (Holy), Knowing Me Knowing Yule and The Father Ted Xmas Special :)

🤩😂😍

Did the pilgrimage to the memorial bench in Hammersmith. I came, I sat, I punched my best mate in the b**locks :) very emotional experience

Now I’m jealous 😪…haven’t been that way for years but used to live in Wandsworth and drove past there every day….oh the memories! 😎

:)

Genius….god, I do miss Rik…

Nice topic - I love comedies

Why did the stoner bring a ladder to the grocery store?

Because they heard they had some high-quality snacks on the top shelf! HAHA!

Trailer Park Boys i guess is a good one is it not?

Love TPB's. Who's got yer belly!

Trailer Park Boys...Good shout, always worth dipping into a few random episodes :)

Can't go wrong! Super Hans has me in tears (in a good way) when blazed :)

Curb Your Enthusiasm, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and I Think You Should Leave are my favourites to watch stoned. Classic Simpsons and South Park as well.

Have to agree with Bottom, which I have also seen live twice, but I’ve seen them all so many times that I don’t watch it so frequently any more.

South Park- still great after all these years! 😎

Really need to start on I Think You Should Leave..heard great things.
Curb is consistently genius but have never attempted baked :)

Green Wing after a few hits of my new vape is definitely worth a recomend :)

Spaced is very good and also has Mark Heap in it.

Tyres dancing to the traffic lights after going raving is very 90's.

Spaced is an absolutely perfect reccomend

Oh wow, Green Wing!….that’s a blast from the past, I’m gonna look that up- thanks!

All episodes currently available on Channel 4's streaming service :)

Yup, just found that!….I think a marathon Friday night watch is is order….it was kind of anarchic and OTT as I remember?…perfect stoned viewing!

Alan Statham. The Dwarf Incident....literally crying right now 🤣🤣🤣

😂👍

I Think You Should Leave is crazy, the third series just dropped. Can be hit and miss, like all sketch shows, but I love it. If you like off the wall humour then you can't go wrong, but it's definitely not for everyone.

People Just Do Nothing is also a great watch particularly if, like me, a lot of your mates were wannabe DJs/MCs back in the day. The weed drought episode is particularly great, really took me back.

What we do in the shadows is hilarious. Colin from accounts, but there is only one series.

Three series!! and a movie that kickstarted it all!! (Series 2 and 3 currently on BBC Iplayer)

You can follow up with What We Do In The Shadows with Toast of London as I find
watching Toast(also Matthew Berry) getting angry with Clem Fandango very funny.

Kayvan Novak (pictured) did Fonejacker, he is very skilled doing voices.

Nathan Barley(written by Chris Korris and
Charlie Brooker) is funny but sometimes a bit too close to home on the shoreditch hipsters.

For something a bit deeper there is Flowers. A black comedy starring Olivia Coleman and
Julian Barratt (Dan Ashcroft in Nathan Barley ) where Olivia Coleman makes Julian's suicidal depression all about her somehow. She can play such a good passive aggressive arsehole.

Flowers....that has actually passed me by...is it available anywhere?

Netflix :)

Cheers :)

Netflix's Kath and Kim so funny.

Beavis and Butthead absolutely worth a mention. The recent series was an absolute riot :)

If anyone is in the mood for something dark, disturbing, twisted and sometimes hilarious..the Chris Morris sketch show 'Jam' is highly reccomended :) Not sure if it's available on any streaming services...but well worth seeking out :)

Wish I knew this before…
