Coffee fans, this one's for you.

We never thought we'd say this, but here we are: someone took the brain-hijacking fungus from The Last of Us and made it… drinkable. And not only is it not brain-hijacking, it's actually brain-boosting thanks to Four Sigmatic's blend of coffee meets mushrooms. We'll need a cup stat. The best part? It's 30% off at just $14 a bag.

Four Sigmatic teamed up with HBO to drop a coffee blend infused with cordyceps, lions mane, and Vitamin B-12. Only this time, instead of turning you into a terrifying clicker, it just makes you laser-focused and supports your mood and energy levels. For real, while it might sound like a bit, cordyceps are actually known for its cognitive-boosting powers. These shrooms are shown to "enhance focus and mental clarity."

Sounds like a must-have if you're sitting in front of a computer screen all day long. Trust. No spores. No zombie side effects. Just a surprisingly smooth way to caffeinate your morning with a little extra brainpower. 

The timing here is impeccable, too. The Last of Us Season 2 drops Sunday, April 13, at 9 p.m. ET, which means we're about to get a whole lot more of Pedro Pascal grumbling father-figure lines and Bella Ramsey's end-of-world teen angst we hate to love. You'll need Max ($9.99/month) to watch it, or you can level up with the Disney+ Bundle (starts at $16.99/month) if you want to toss in Hulu and Disney+ for good measure. Max is also available through Prime Video ($9.99/month) if you're trying to streamline your subscription collection.

Time to grab a cup, prep your bunker, and brace yourself for emotional damage. The end is near — but at least your morning brew's got range.
