I found that as the different wines I tried got drier the more I disliked them, and IIRC pinot noir is pretty fuckin' dry?

I think I'd like fruity drinks or cocktails but then I think to myself 'why not just skip the alcohol bit', then I do :v:

Hmph. I dismiss you lust for fruity wine.

But I shall then say

Drink a Bloody Mary.

I never did try e.g. rum and coke or vodka and OJ/sprite or whatever, maybe I will if I'm bored this weekend

Cider tastes pretty good and can do the job. Also shots of fireball where the alcohol gets overwhelmed by the cinnamon and knowledge that you're drinking mild toxins used in antifreeze

Mixed drinks are indeed prolly the way to go if you don't like the taste of any alcohol. Simple classic ones are rum and Coke, whiskey and Coke, screwdrivers (vodka/OJ), or cheap margaritas (storebought margarita mix and tequila). Drink them from a glass with lots of ice. Experiment with alcohol to sugary drink ratios until you find a sweet spot.

Some people will tell you to buy the cheapest poo poo you can find for those kind of drinks and others will swear they can tell a big difference, but in any case don't spend more than ~$20 on a bottle of mixing liquor if you don't even know what you like/think all alcohol tastes vile.

If you enjoy it you can start reading up on more exotic/complicated cocktails that involve several ingredients, and after a while you'll develop a sense for what kinds of mixers (i.e. fruit juice VS cola) compliment what kinds of liquor. You may end up discovering a new hobby!

When I was a kid I thought it was lame how majora's mask only had 4 donjons, and then as I got older I realized that majora's mask has like 8 donjons, it's just that 4 of them are pretty well integrated into the story and aren't explicitly called donjons.

Even if it only had 4, that game is about so much more than just its dungeons. The game reuses tons of assets from Ocarina and had horrific framerate issues when it was released but god drat was it well designed.

Fun thing if you haven't played the 3DS remake: instead of just making link bigger, the giant mask now makes link turn into a big fisted lumbering giant version of himself who can do sick KOF combos on the worm boss.

I would kill for FFT to be available on Steam. It's a move they really should have made and I'm kind of surprised they have not done so yet, given the success of their other iOS/Android ports.

Sakurazuka posted:

$30. I think you can apparently get the box version on Amazon for around $32, but I didn't feel like waiting for the disc to arrive. These days I'm relying less and less on discs and just going entirely digital because, as little hard drive space I usually have, it just still feels easier as long as I have an internet connection.

FactsAreUseless posted:

Mostly no, I guess. They have the VITA version of the Jak & Daxter collection for $8, and the PS3 version of Jak & Daxter- none of the sequels. Why they would have the Vita version and not the PS3 version also on sale is beyond me.

e: Jak 1 on PS3 is $1.59 though.

Forgot to mention, but for anyone who cares, those PSN sale prices were with PS+ added. Without, they're still on sale, but not as low.
