Have you ever been under general anesthesia? What was it like? Did anything strange happen?
  • It varies depending on the drugs used, I've been under multiple times now, the big one being for an open heart bypass.

    That one I saw nothing, felt nothing, but coming out of it I remember them pulling out the breathing tube and putting me on a bi-pap machine. I had to beg to be taken off of it because it was stopping me from exhaling. I could breathe in fine, but the back pressure wouldn't let me breathe out.

    Then the drugs, it was a combination of a bunch of things, propofol (the stuff that killed Michael Jackson), fentanyl (the stuff that killed Prince). Oxy, the works.

    I was having weird hallucinations. If I closed my eyes, I could see a perfectly painted brick wall about a foot in front of my face. I could see the detail on the bricks and the mortar, the texture of the paint. Bonus - every time they put me in a different room, the wall would change color.

  • How many fediverse instances are you signed up with?
  • Started with lemmy.one, then set up kbin when one went down for several days.

    Then I found I couldn't use kbin with Voyager, so I joined lemmy.world.

    So 3... but I really only use lemmy.one. Kbin is an afterthought.

  • Which Dragon Age games are worth playing?
  • Honestly, it depends on how aware you are of fantasy tropes. I found the DA games to be utterly boring and predictible point for point, and I'd be sitting there going "Oh, this is where X is going to happen..." and sure enough...

    If you haven't played a lot of fantasy games or read a lot of fantasy fiction, they're probably fine... I found them annoying.

    Spoilers, probably:

  • Lemmy.one down?

    Haven't been able to access the fediverse through lemmy.one all day. URL shows an error in the browser, anyone know what's up? Did they defederate or some such?
