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.
We didn't really turn a blind eye to W. when he was out committing war crimes, it's just that Pelosi didn't have the guts to do anything about it.
That and Trump is an order of magnitude worse than W. ever was. W. never threatened the transfer of power.
There was a database back in the day of all the lies the W. administration told, keep in mind, this is a group number, Bush, Cheney, Rummy, Rice all of them:
935 lies in 8 years, and at the time we thought that was outrageous.
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.

Tilde is kind of strange... It's rigged so you can't just reply to a thread, they want you to scroll down through all the comments first.
So on a simple thread that just asks a question, you can't just answer it, you have to scroll all the way down to the bottom... and it was done intentionally, so not likely to change.

Why is Lemmy World down?
Why do the instances keep going down? It makes me think that this is not a reliable social network, but the alternatives are not as good.
