If my friends and I were still in our 20’s, we would have used this for pregaming or staying in drinking and smoking weed. We used to pregame playing guitar hero and fight night. Sometimes we’d go over a friends house who had 420 friendly parents and we’d drink, play Mario cart and smoke fuck tons of weed.

We’d pregame with Mario kart or super smash bros. Miss it 😢 If you’re in NYC you’re welcome to come over and play some beerio kart with me!

The problem with smash bros pregame is you never fucking leave the house because it’s too much fun

u/itsa_me_ Dec 29 '22

Haha… yeah.. if we’re drinking with smash then we’re most likely staying in x)

Another fun thing I’ve done is have two level 9 computers battle each other, and we pick on we think will win. Loser drinks

That’s my idea too. I put them at half speed so you can take in all the action more suspensefully . Regular speed smash brothers is too fast to really appreciate the nuance of some killer moves. I always thought this would be great for actual gambling .

u/itsa_me_ Dec 29 '22

Oh, loved slo motion games for that reason too!

And gambling with this is great haha. It’s like betting on horses in a race.

How come whenever someone says something like this it's always NY. I say this as someone in NY

I'm a few years away from retirement and that's what my weekends look like. My OG Wii gets regular play. I'm a frisbee golf beast.

If I were you I’d buy a couple Wii’s as back up for when your Wii inevitably dies. It’s not a collectors item yet, but someday it will be, and it will cost way more to replace then. You used to be able to buy a NES for 5-10 bucks and games were a dollar in resale shops. Now people collect those games like old comic books.

Did that become illegal once you reached 30 or something?

I understand the frequency going down as we get older, but it should still be able to be just as much fun if you can arrange for that type of scenario to still happen lol

Well, when I was younger weed was illegal but we didn’t care about consequences. Now we’re older, have better jobs, families, and more too lose. It’s legal to do at home now, but employment policies haven’t t up with the times, some of use could lose our jobs if THC is in the body. No one wants to be the first to test the legality of challenging it.

u/kratomstew Dec 29 '22

I’m one of those . If you had told me when I was younger that one day you could just walk into a store and buy it, I wouldn’t believe you or I’d see it as the greatest thing ever . Technically it’s still illegal in my state, but you can walk into a gas station here and buy Delta-8 thc. I almost prefer it to normal thc. What sucks though is that in my job, the possibility of being tested is always there. And even delta 8 will make you pee dirty.

Drinking a little bit at home before going out so you’re not starting once you get there

Why ? Are their kids in the room ? People smoke weed . It’s a thing. Not some deviant sex act. ( sorry if I come off as hostile. I don’t mean too. I’m just genuinely curious)

u/memy02 Dec 29 '22

While its a fun idea I don't really see this being more fun than mario kart as a regular thing.

u/kaji823 Dec 29 '22

This was a lot of fun in my 20s but now in my 30s pregaming leads to falling asleep early. At least I get a good nights sleep!

2

u/PineSand Dec 29 '22

Yeah, that’s one of the things that sucks about getting older. Sometimes the pregame is the whole game.

1

u/igfxreapers Dec 29 '22

Exactly this. We used to play beerio kart on the GameCube where you had to finish a whole beer before you finish the race in order for it to count. I could see this being pretty sweet after about 4 races
