All hard liquor tastes like poo poo and people deceive themselves into enjoying the taste in order to seem sophisticated. "Acquired taste", I'm pretty sure if you ate enough literal dog poo poo, you would acquire a taste for it, doesn't mean it's cool and good to do so.

This statement is obviously wrong.

Based on your statement, im going to assume you drink beer. Probably awful beer to boot. Good day, sir.

Let's be fair, a lot of scotch and whiskey snobs are going to say you need the burn and peat to measure a good drink. These people are biased and don't know what you like.

The best thing to do is to find a liquor shop that has tastings, and go to those. Failing that, get a bunch of friends together and do a weekly/monthly liquor tour, where everyone brings a bottle of something new.

Also, tangentially BEER CHAT.

So I don't like IPAs. They taste like soap or salad to me.

What pisses me off the most about this elitist diatribe is that this is a very old way of thinking. Both PC and console gaming have come a long way, and there are plenty of benefits to be had in both. I prefer PC by far, but still can't really understand the position he's arguing from here. The "PC vs Console" wars are referred to more ironically than anything else these days. He really thinks he's this champion come to save us all - to me he's more like a guy who was in stasis for 15 years and now that he's been woken up, he refuses to admit that time has marched on without him - clinging to his own glory days and insisting we all do it with him.

His carbonite hibernation sickness extends to every part of this travesty. The innovating "contextual use" key, crawling through vents, putting down a hologram of yourself, "stealthy stuff", unskippable immersion-breaking animations, motion-capture cutscenes, loving everything this tool is putting in his game has already been done by others, and far better. The ideas that worked stuck around, the ones that didn't faded away. Chris thinks he's inventing it all; it's all new and it's all awesome. It's only a matter of time before he discovers quicktime events.

He's referencing poo poo that happened more than 16 years ago. He's got the dementia and he thinks its 2001 and that SC is the second coming.

At this point I'm really not sure if Roberts is just scamming people. SC at this point resembles a text book con. Get people excited for an idea or something that doesn't exist and get them to pay money for it. I'm a pretty casual follower of the SC drama stuff but from reading up on it lately it seems like Roberts is selling gamer's delusional fantasies. We've seen throughout the years people harping about how they could do literally anything in a game but don't realize that tightening loose screws in your ship during combat isn't dramatic like star trek or something but actually tedious, frustrating, and boring. I honestly have not seen someone wax poetic about a game like this for years and years. Its like Molyneux all over again.

oh tequila is good but I don't get it as much.

Herradura and Corralejo are good mass-marketed brands that are not expensive and should be easy to find and what most Mexicans actually drink (that is not cheap crap to get you real drunk real quick). Don Julio and other fancier brands are also good but I don't really think the price is justified. Try to avoid the ones that come in novelty bottles, some of them are really good but it's kind of a crapshot, to be honest.

too be far if you don't drink a lot of scotch you shouldn't start with Laphroig or Lagvulin (which is what Ron Swanson famously drinks) they are very strong in peat flavor and I love that peaty scotch flavor but even I think they have too much. I do use it as liquid smoke when I do slow cooker pork shoulder though. :feelsgood:

Ask Bootcha about Glenlivet.

Maker's mark is the least offensive whiskey every. It's the ultimate gift whiskey when you don't know anything other than "he likes whiskey" not to expensive not to cheap. some people absolutely hate scotch, some people associate bourbon/tn whiskey with rotgut (it's not all rotgut).

I think Bootcha should take a different approach.

He should have the goons all singing their parts-- and download a bunch of Derek interviews online, then autotune Derek saying things like "I've said all these things in my blog", "The shitizens went after me because they know I'm right", "Let me fuckin' finish!", and whatnot.

It could be especially funny as a call and response. Like the goons say "But it will never ship", and Derek immediately blurts "That's what I have been saying all this time!"

It just seems more fitting that Derek would be marching to his own beat, talking non-stop in the midst of an otherwise unified chorus. I think it lets Derek stay Derek and that's to the good.

This is a great idea not least of all because if we're waiting for Derek it's going to be a matter of years, not months or weeks. This guy is CIGing us harder than Chris Roberts.

The only place I know over here that sells something other than the typical watery trash you find everywhere is the coast guard exchange next to the unit I drill at. They dont have that particular Sierra Nevada, but they do have the Pale Ale and IPA (torpedo) that I like a lot. Most the stuff they have are actually IPAs, so I'm getting used to the strong bitter pine taste they have. I need to ask the guys at the thai restaurant where the gently caress they are getting their arrogant bastards from.

LITERALLY MY FETISH: Nov 11, 2010; Raise Chris Coons' taxes so that we can have Medicare for All.

I had to drive back home, so this is late, but with regard to lemons vs limes it's definitely a matter of taste, and as with all things cooking you should always taste the ingredients you cook with unless it would be dangerous to do so, like raw meat.

I've found lemons to be slightly sweeter while limes have a much stronger but slightly harsher flavor. They really do taste quite different, but the nice thing is they're almost* always interchangeable because a lot of recipes add them for either their acidic properties or, in the case of guac, their ability to prevent oxidation. Both are fantastic as the acid in a marinade and both are great in a light whipped cream for added flavor, so which you use should come down to what you like.

Also, fun fact, pineapple juice also works as a fantastic acidic component of marinades. It's a 3-4 in acidity, while lemons and limes both range from 2 - 2.4 on the pH scale, but pineapple also has the added benefit of Bromelain, a type of protease, or an enzyme that breaks down proteins and tenderizes meat. If you use it this way, you must get fresh pineapple juice. Bromelain dies in the canning process. This is also why you can't eat too much raw pineapple or your mouth starts burning. It's the somewhat surprisingly low pH and bromelain. For awhile people thought honey tenderized meat too, but honey has too few enzymes in it, and any tenderizing effect it has can be chalked up to honey's hydrophilic nature and its high sugar content acting to pull moisture out of the meat. I still put it in my marinades because it tastes good, though, and it's the best sweetener you can put in a marinade, imo. :science:

*things like lemon cake or key lime pie are obviously things you should not switch them out in.

The Saddest Robot: Apr 17, 2007

The likely scenerio here is that one of the actual developers/engineers implements contextual actions or some other feature that has been a standard feature in video games for years. CR sees this and it blows his mind and he rushes off to announce this amazing new technological feature they've developed for Star Citizen despite the pleas from the engineers. Of course the people who are heavily invested in Star Citizen, emotionally and financially, swallow it all down with wide eyes brimming with excitement.

He strikes me as someone who hasn't played or looked at a pc or console game in 20 years. Everything I see from him, especially the videos of him at a keyboard or using a gamepad reinforces this impression.

Please send it to me I love talisker and have wanted to try darkstorm since i saw it at the liquor store.

I guess it's technically possible with some titles like War Thunder and... PS2? I've not played PS2 much in the last year or two. I do remember playstation * icons being fairly common in War Thunder. If that's what you/he meant regarding communication.

Being said it sounds like he's talking about Star Citizen. While I'm willing to look at the idea of S42 being a console port with an air of humor the idea of SC being a console port (in a magical universe where everything works out) anytime int he next decade sounds pretty ludicrous. So I don't think cross platform communication is really going to be a thing. That's probably a holdover from the fictional days when co-op dropin was still on the table.

It's what I meant, and I think its what he meant. I mean if this game was split into three seperate servers nobody would actually notice since you can only have 16 people in the same instance but whatever.
