My curiosity could not be contained. [After showing my wife the Hot Dr. Pepper ad] Me: What do you say, want a Hot Dr. Pepper? Mrs Mode 7: NO. [emphatic] ---  My mise is extremely en place I'm not sure where in the US this Dr. Pepper is produced but it contains High Fructose Corn Syrup so I think that means it's definitely a US import and not the UK version which has sugar. We needed a control opinion so behold, tasting notes for Dr. Pepper from two Australians, one of whom drinks it very sporadically and one who hates it. Mode 7  : "What does this taste like?"Mrs. Mode 7  : "Not quite orange." "Like sarsaparilla but they couldn't quite get it right." "Like sarsaparilla and motor oil."Thus begins the experiment.  Immediately having second thoughts as it hits the saucepan.  Dick Clark's Dr. Pepper didn't look this colour. I don't think I've ever drunk Dr. Pepper out of a glass/otherwise been able to see its colour. I'm not a fan.  My vessel awaits with the required slice of lemon.  "Just heat Dr. Pepper in a saucepan until it steams". Check.  It is incredibly offputting that each ladleful of steaming hot liquid still fizzes a little. Good friends? No. Roaring fire? No. Perfect time for Hot Dr. Pepper? Yes. Yes it is. Tasting Notes: Like a boiled hard candy in a mug. With the lemon it ends up taking on this almost...pomegranate hard candy flavour? My wife commented that she wouldn't choose it, but she thinks she prefers it to regular Dr. Pepper. I don't hate this, bizarre as it is. The bottom of the mug ends up being incredibly lemony. The aftertaste lingers for much longer than I am comfortable with. My mouth feels coated in sticky sugary syrup and I am possessed with an overwhelming urge to go and brush my teeth immediately. It's remarkable in that as I was drinking it, it tasted fine, but this aftertaste is extremely lingering and hosed. I'm going to make a hot buttered rum later to make up for what I've just done to myself.

Honestly, I would have given First SOLDIER a shot if it wasn't mobile only. I knew a couple of people playing it and they actually seemed to enjoy it.

At any given time there's like five Square Enix releases I've never heard of that just get sent off to die. Did Valkyrie Whatever ever come out? Various Job Game? Babylon's Fall? Was NEOTWEWY good? What the hells a Diofield?

I liked NEO TWEWY a lot. Haven't done the post-game stuff yet, but the main story was really enjoyable.

I don't think Valkyrie Whatever is out yet and NEOTWEWY was on a lot of best of lists last year. For the rest, lol

I'm in awe of Actiblizz always managing to gently caress up and make the wrong move. You could have a fortune 500 company whose business model is just doing whatever the opposite of activision is doing

Valkyrie Elysium wasn't made by tri-ace. I sort of suspect that the reason it's so weird is that they sold the license because they're circling the drain Maybe someone who can make a real valkyrie profile again will buy the ip

Diablo Immortal becomes a...60 dollar alternate reality game designed to get you off your phone. Fans memify the phase "Don't have a phone, guys!"

There's a demo out for Valkyrie Elysium, and from what I gather it is very representative of full version.

So today I discovered Windows Update can also offer in optional updates the BIOS ones, after checking out all options and my PC suddenly entering BIOS on reset and giving me a massive scare. I really hope this fixes my ocassional freezing issue to cover for the scare it gave me.

Watching a youtuber who keeps referring to weapon durability as "weapon stamina" This knife kills just about everything in a couple of hits, and it has infinite stamina
