Despite not being much different than how other countries do it. ...No one is arguing iced tea doesn't count as tea, we're saying you don't use an electric kettle to make the kind of tea most Americans drink and that, in the context of this conversation, the statement "most Americans don't drink tea regularly" is clearly talking about the kinds of tea you'd make with an electric kettle. You're focusing really heavily on the exact wording of the original statement while trying really hard to ignore the actual point it was trying to make...

Not only do we drink iced tea but there are different regional varieties, my mom has a hell of a time getting unsweetened iced tea in the south because everything there is sweet tea by default

KingKalamari posted:This is a baffling hill you've chosen to die on... Took the words right out of my mouth. When someone says "Americans don't drink tea" my first thought it is "of course" because to me they're clearly talking specifically about hot tea, not literally any kind of tea. If they were gonna do that they'd specify Iced Tea or whatever Farg posted:hrmmmm am I gonna trust Britain when it comes to norms around good food and beverages or (anywhere else in the world) I will not trust the beans on a piece of bread as a snack people

Terrible Opinions posted:No the reason no kettle is because this is American tea. Which is still loving tea! And I got the numbers from Göteborgs Posten which is a decently reliable newspaper, other sources say up to 50 %, but I don't know how trustworthy they are. If someone posts a video claiming to provide the definitive answer, and has a single line answer that is wrong then maybe that wasn't a good video to post as an answer.

Not that I ever caught them making it when I was younger and you could go over to other people's houses and hang out, generally they also had iced tea in the fridge and we used some kind of different machine that also wasn't a kettle to prepare enough for a pitcher. Used to make some at home ourselves. That or Kool Aid.

Yes, and we call black tea "Tea", doesn't mean that we don't count "green tea" as tea, because like Iced Tea it's still made from water and tea leaves. And it's not like the sellers of iced tea make any difference. Arizona Iced Tea FAQ posted:Can I Drink Arizona Tea Hot?

Electric kettles are a great investment. You never know when you'll need some hot water and it only takes a couple of minutes. A+/100 recommend. Save cashmoney on your gas bill.

I don't know who originally posted the Noah Caldwell Gervais video on Bloodborne, Sekiro, and Elden Ring but it's buried under Kettle Discouse now so I'm going to have to repost it so I can make a comment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPRo4arGaSk I'm not all the way through yet but I agree with him that the blood vial system is definitely the roughest part of Bloodborne for new players. I'm a bit shocked he spent dozens of hours farming for them after the start of the game though. Even if you don't abuse hacked chalices for blood echo farming, there's places by the midpoint of the game where you should be able to get a 10-20k in blood echoes to buy a good stock of them in a couple minutes. I'm even more baffled he'd be struggling to farm them on NG+ while he's in the depth 4 and depth 5 chalices. You can clear out one room in some of those in a couple minutes and get 40k-100k. Blood vials cap out at 720 blood echoes before you beat the game and 900 in NG+. Also, the way he pronounces "Father Gascoigne" is completely nuts.

Coupled with the fact that you can only carry 20 of them on-hand at a time I never got the impression you'd need to hardcore farm them?

As someone who cant stand Snyderchat or Star Wars poo poo, no this is infinitely worse, this awful bit where you ignore literally everyone telling you that nobody is debating the fact that pre-made iced tea is still technically tea in order to dig in to a single sentence and argue that its wrong over a level of semantic horseshit that would get you kicked out of a high school debate club

In the early game when you're struggling to find your first boss fight, you actually can run into a negative feedback loop where blood vials and blood echoes are hard to come by and you spend faster than you accumulate them unless you establish a tedious, low-risk farming route.

KingKalamari posted:Do you...think you're supposed to heat up bottled iced tea before serving it? Because that is the only thing that would make this conversation make sense at this point... No, I'm saying that the sellers think it's a valid alternative way to drink it and doesn't transform it on some kind of tea- not tea spectrum. Because it's just normal tea, so of course you can drink it at whatever temperature you want. DoctorWhat posted:In the early game when you're struggling to find your first boss fight, you actually can run into a negative feedback loop where blood vials and blood echoes are hard to come by and you spend faster than you accumulate them unless you establish a tedious, low-risk farming route. It's funny because the big thing FromSoft popularized was the Estus flask, so moving away from that in Bloodbourne really hosed people up. I really want to see someone look at the DS games through a tabletop lens, because a lot of the stuff is throwbacks to them via the filter of dungeon crawlers like Wizardry, Sorcerian etc. And how a lot of stuff that people do get hung up on is also stuff that TTRPGs mostly moved away from decades ago, like having the same currency for both short term and long term bonuses. Which can lead to people farming blood vials because spending your blood echoes on short term stuff feels bad when you could hoard it for permanent stat ups.

Coupled with the fact that you can only carry 20 of them on-hand at a time I never got the impression you'd need to hardcore farm them? Like DoctorWhat mentioned early on it’s possible to consume blood vials faster than you accumulate a back stock. You might blow through a lot of attempts on a boss fight, too. But it’s more of a hump you should be able to get over. Unless maybe it depends on whether or not you hit the realization that it’s way faster to get a mass of blood echoes and buy a ton of vials than it is to farm them as enemy drops?
