Drugs aren’t the same for everyone…
Some people can do a line of coke and leave it at that. Others get a tiny taste and will do anything for the tiniest bit more.
It makes it very dangerous when people don’t understand human variation. People it doesn’t effect much or who aren’t prone to addiction will act like it’s no big deal, then some unlucky sucker who hangs out with at a club becomes an addict overnight.
I get zero pleasure from cocaine. It’s literally just a tool to keep drinking. (NB: don’t do this. It’s terrible for your heart) But for some of my friends it’s the end-all, be-all. They wanna do lines all weekend and I’m just like, “why?”
Luckily for me alcohol is my cocaine.
Depends on the perspective, I think people going off the deep end are rather unhappy that their drug of choice is cheap, readily available yet unhealthy, comes with all kinds of nasty side effects and is quite dangerous once you’ve reached a certain point.
I can say that while my drinking was risky at times, it seems I never enjoyed it as much as some others, reached I liked it but when I quit / faded it out I didn’t really miss it. It seems other people have a much harder time not drinking. So I consider myself lucky there.
Not hating on booze or anyone enjoying it. Just offering some perspective on your statement.

UT2004 was one hell of a game
The last great mainstream arena shooter. Your opinion on whether it was the best ever may vary (I assume quite some people prefer Q3A due to the speed and other factors) but it must be one of my favorite games of all time. Playing deathmatch or onslaught on LAN parties, or even some silly mods. Later custom maps were just amazing. Such a good time. They really nailed it back then.
I’m curious how this was specifically related to UT2004. One of my favorites growing up.
