DMT is the main psychoactive compound in Ayahuasca, the other main component in Ayahuasca is going into be an MAOI which prevents enzymes from breaking down the DMT when you you ingest it orally which also allows for a much longer trip because it now takes your body longer to clear out the DMT. There may also be some other alkaloids in Ayahuasca, but the main component is going to be DMT.

Yeah, they definitely need some way of communicating better without voice, but I’m sure that’s a lower priority right now.

I agree, the readability of what exactly is happening across the whole game or even what’s directly around you can be difficult, but I feel like UI is probably something thar still has a lot of work to be done and is probably a lower priority right now so it’s understandable.

Yeah, I have a feeling I’ll probably be turning voice comms off soonish.

I came to the same conclusion about my usual disinterest in books stemming from me having Aphantasia. The only kinds of books I’ve been able to consistently get through are very comedic in their writing style (e.g. Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, Dennis E. Taylor, etc.). I think the focus on humor instead of visualizing the story and its world is what helps me when it comes to reading books.

Pretty strong case of Aphantasia here, it never even occurred to me that people actually saw things in their minds eye and thought it was more a metaphor or something. I do, however, have a very talkative internal monologue. I have a friend who has no internal monologue paired with Aphantasia, I always enjoy talking with them about their experience and how it differs from my own.

It’s really interesting to me how people’s internal experience can differ and how we can never truly know what these different experiences are like.

Oh wow, this is a 9 year old reddit thread? The author of this article is really digging for content.

I’m no scientist, but I don’t really know how you can have a study of a psychoactive drug and the participants not be able to guess if they had the drug or the placebo.
