[QUOTE=swampspruce;19769605… the downside was addressed obliquely when they were talking about why people were going to the Quagmire just to feel something…[/QUOTE]
Good point, I’d forgotten about that reference when writing my comments.
Of course, that just highlights how non-Black-Mirror the episode was. In a typical Black Mirror episode, our character would have arrived for two weeks of meaningless sex and alcohol, tried harder drugs and bondage at the Quagmire by the end of the first month, trapped someone in an infinite-loop glitch within the computer for a minor offensive remark, then committed suicide out of sheer nihilism before the end of the year.
