For all my metalhead stoners out there. This is the game I'm developing at the moment. Super excited. About to finish the level design for level 1 today. Let me know what I should add!
Enjoying a nice hot cup of cannacoffee while planning out this week's goals to meet until next devlog. Also do y'all like the music? If you're a metal musician or guitarist and want to collaborate on a soundtrack for the game let me know. I'm willing to split profits on the game. I already have my Google Play dev account paid for and will also be putting it on Microsoft and Steam too!
Oooh, idea. You have a bad first trip and [Bee; Blitz;Moxx(idk, maybe lol);Vortex] comfort you?
(you can do one character if you want)
You underestimate my power /lh
This came in and I was immediately inspired, so thank you! I know I said I'd be working on event requests, but I couldnt resist writing this one asap. I'm also excited to write for Vortex!
Thank you for requesting, and much love to you!
Obligatory PSA- always use responsibly. Know your limits, and keep water nearby, it's a life saver lol
WEDNESDAY WEED REVIEWS - SHOCKWAVE by BC BLACK [A.K.A. Falcon 9 x Strawberries & Cream]
Coming in from PureFire in British Columbia, Shockwave does leave a lasting impression. It's a lighter high at first - but as time goes on, the light buzz gives way to a focused, laid-back, and productive high.
## First Impressions
When first opening the 3.5g bag purchased from Garden City Cannabis, [shoutout to Garden City Cannabis], we went in blind, and were more than pleasantly surprised to be met with such a powerful, herby, citrusy aroma, which I personally think smells like lemongrass, citrus, and rosemary, with hints of oregano, and of course, weed.
These mildly sticky nugs were small to medium size with a savanna grass green-tan coloration. Highlights of little orange fibers are visible, and the buds are glazed with a beautiful frosting of tiny, glistening trichromes.
Unfortunately due to my cracked camera, it didn't pick up all the trichromes that well, and it also skewed the coloration mildly.
After a nice lookover and game of "pass the nug" we put 'er in the extendo-bong and lit 'er up.
## The Sesh

The first thing we noticed was the flavor of the smoke. My first impression was that of a rich herbal, fruity flavor, with the inhale flavor reminding me of oranges and berries, with an exhale being a bit spicier, all while retaining citrus and floral notes.
Each toke was a smooth one- especially with bong filters in place. While that's a good thing for many, be warned, it's so smooth, that with bong filters in place, it's easy to take too big of a toke without realizing it until you're already coughing - but that's alright. For what Shockwave delivers, it's definitely worth it.
The high came on quickly and smoothly with a light, cooling buzz, that took the edge off any anxiety or stress present. It was a light high at first, and we were a little worried it may stay that way - even with a few good tokes off the extendo-bong.
After a good twenty minutes, however, things started to change, and that light buzz progressed into a nice, productive, lighter midweight Sativa high with no signs of couch-lock in sight.
## Conclusion :
Shockwave definitely earned its name - despite not being a heavy high, it offers focus and functional drive - a clear mind, and a desire to do with a new viewpoint. Painting or reading a book, this strain is your friend.
Though I personally prefer heavier highs, this hybrid strain definitely does deliver an enjoyable experience - no matter the logic [or lackthereof] behind it.
In the year of our Lord, 1997, the Cartoon Network gods bestowed upon us a gift – a programming block called Toonami. If you’re unfamiliar with Toonami, you should be ashamed of yourself, but since I’m nice I’ll tell you what it is anyway. Toonami was an evening block of cartoons aimed at older kids and younger teens, so many of the shows that aired at the time had darker and more mature themes or more intense action than CN’s typical stuff. They even showed anime! This post isn’t about Toonami, though, it’s about one of the shows that aired during the block. One of the sleekest, coolest, animated action shows of all time. I’m talking about: Samurai Jack.
Interestingly, Samurai Jack originally aired as part of regular Cartoon Network programming, but had re-runs air on Toonami instead. I can only guess that CN higher-ups thought the show fit Toonami’s style better. I can’t quite remember where I saw it first, but either way it aired on the same channel so cut me some slack, alright?
Anyway, Samurai Jack is a love letter to samurai action films mixed with some dystopian science fiction. I was originally going to put a short plot synopsis here, but the kickass intro can explain the premise way better than I can.

Along the way Jack encounters, and assists, numerous odd creatures and aliens each affected by Aku’s villainous rule in different ways.
The thing that set Samurai Jack apart from other action cartoons (and what made it a better fit for Toomani, in my opinion) is how uncompromising it was in it’s artistic presentation. The show loves it’s build-ups; whether it’s an intense stand-off against Aku’s forces, or Jack simply traveling to a new destination, scenes in the show plod along at a snail’s pace. That sounds like a bad thing, but it’s honestly excellent. Samurai Jack knows how to sow tension; it knows when it’s time to slow down and let you appreciate the effort that went into crafting the dystopian world Jack finds himself in. It knows when to be quiet, something a lot of other cartoons struggle with.
Like, before Jack goes into battle with Aku’s beetle drones for the first time (pictured below) there’s a six minute montage of him preparing weaponry and traps alongside the talking dog people he’s helping out. With no dialogue whatsoever. It’s honestly a great scene, beautifully animated and really gets you hyped up for a battle scene that actually delivers on its tension.
Which is why it pains me so much to say this: I found it mind-numbingly boring watching it high. Not all the time, mind you; but the 20 minute episodes sometimes felt like hours. I guess my stoned brain just prefers the chaotic stupidity of shows like Aqua Teen Hunger Force over the slow-burning adventures of Samurai Jack. It’s still a fantastic cartoon, just one I recommend watching without outside supplements, if you catch my drift.
Before I go I want to leave you with an image of a beetle-like creature from the intro that I hadn't noticed until watching the show for this review, uh, thing.
What do you think beetle bro has in the pipe-like thing of theirs?
Like, seriously, look at the eyes. Dude’s higher than the crime rate in Aku’s dystopian cities.
Aeriz and Fig Farms seem to have teamed up for this potent puppy.
When I smoked it I was overcome by the sweet and smooth smoke. A kind of sweet berry flavor that gives way to that earthy pine forest floor. There was a crack of sharp bitter or astringent quality on the back end as well, like strong ginger.
The high set in very quickly for me, and was uplifting and euphoric, while still being very clear-headed. I tend to prefer Indica strains because I find that Sativas tend to make me feel stupid, but I love when an Indica gives me a lift. I felt chatty and social. As it continued to settle in and peak, I started to mellow out and relax, but that uplifted euphoria still hung around, which resulted in me settling into bed with my Switch and playing games until it was sleepy time. It was an absolutely wonderful time.
I think the only downside is that as it started to wear off, I had a slight headache but that could have come from anything, not necessarily the cannabis.
All in all a high quality strain, this lady was on special when I bought it but it was retailing for around $45, and in my opinion is worth every penny.
