Zaphod42 posted:This is what I was about to say. Yeah, Hershey chocolate is a weirdly nostalgic flavor and something that a lot of Americans grew up with. I personally think it's fine, but I've also had plenty of non-Hershey chocolate, European chocolate, etc. and that rules, too. I did start noticing the Hershey aftertaste once I learned about it, but then again, parmesan cheese smells almost exactly like human vomit so hey, sometimes whether something is tasty depends entirely on context

Pwnstar posted:Playing Persona 5 now, I like that the mascot character has a little kid crush on the girl character instead of being a weirdo sexual predator like in 4. For real though everything in this game is so stylish and slick, when I high five my buddy to tag him into the fight and the music kicks I'm hootin and hollerin irl. Baton Pass is the best. It's hard for me to go back to Persona 4 now because it's so much fun to pass extra turns around in Persona 5

Monkey Fracas posted:having trouble thinking of a game where the presentation adds more for me than P5 Absolutely, yeah. The presentation is such a huge part of the Persona 5 experience that it's honestly challenging for me to separate it out from the rest of the game. It adds a ton to everything you do, from combat to exploration to dialogue. Part of me thinks a large part of the gap in whether someone likes or dislikes Persona 5 is "how much heavy lifting can the presentation do for you?" For me, it's apparently a lot.

I said come in! posted:Diablo 2 Remaster will likely be really bad, so it will just amplify the disappointment in Diablo Immortal even more. Going by the alpha it doesn't look like it's turning out like the WC3 remaster. It apparently plays exactly like Diablo 2 but just looks newer and has console/controller support. I'm probably not going to get it (frankly, my fond memories of Diablo 2 are tied entirely to playing it with friends who don't really play games anymore and who I haven't spoken to in years) but it at least seems like it's going to be a perfectly fine remaster.

I'm sympathetic to people who are extremely spoiler-sensitive, but I do wonder if this sort of insistence that even relatively minor reveals are "spoilers" is making it impossible to write decent criticism, even if you're trying to be positive. You have to be so vague that you can't really say anything at all. It's not even just publisher review embargo restrictions, though that's certainly a big part of it (I'm sure stifling criticism is the whole point), but also the way people react if you "spoil" something in a review. I guess it's easy for me to say because I'm not particularly sensitive to spoilers.

Mode 7 posted:Hello chat thread, it's been a while. I hope you're all doing well. Yeah, that part is surprisingly effective. DQXI is a really great game. As for whether you're coming up on the end (mild spoilers about postgame content): Dragon Quest XI's postgame has more story, quite a bit of it, to the point that a lot of people consider it functionally a full third act of the main story. SO if you're not feeling done with it after the credits roll the first time, there's more story for you to see.

I love a good, no-beans Texas chili with big chunks of beef all stewed until they're tender, but I also like making a big pot of vegetarian chili with like three types of beans on a weekend and then heating it up for lunch throughout the week. Chili is a wonderful dish and contains multitudes.

This is what I figured they'd do, at least for the duration of Ichiban's tenure as the main Yakuza protagonist, however long that ends up being. I had a blast with Like a Dragon so I'm pretty happy to read this, personally. I guess I could've also seen party-based action combat, but whatever happens with Ichiban, he's defined by having a party of close friends by his side basically at all times, so turn-based RPG combat makes the most sense.

Pwnstar posted:In Persona 5 I got the big reveal about the bad guy and it seems weird. I figured it out like 50 hours ago because I noticed the clue at the start(ish) of the game and was waiting this whole time for it to come up. If you didn't notice it at the time or forgot literally a single insignificant sounding line of dialogue surely when the goodies are like aha pancakes you'd be like wtf are they talking about. I like that part because the real twist isn't the identity of the traitor--that's fairly obvious--but that the Phantom Thieves also already knew and were setting him up. It's the story at its most heist movie, especially because it takes place around a big fancy casino heist.

I said come in! posted:Final Fantasy X has really long cutscenes just before boss fights, and on the PlayStation 2 version you couldn't skip the cutscenes. You can't skip cutscenes in any version of FFX. The reason for it has to do with the way the cutscenes and voice lines were coded, and is the same reason why each voice line has to have the exact same duration in all languages or the game crashes. If you ever wondered why Yuna says "yes" so quickly in some scenes, it's because it has to match exactly with a very brief "hai" in the Japanese dialogue. Same for why some lines just speed up a lot. It's honestly pretty remarkable what the English localization team and cast were able to do given the constraints they were working under.

haveblue posted:it is actually a british thing, hard cider is way less popular in the states, although they keep trying to make it happen Cider used to be extremely popular in the US, but Prohibition killed it off for a good while and apple producers switched over to making eating apples (and non-alcoholic cider). ShallNoiseUpon posted:i've been seeing more and more craft ciders over the past year or two so it's definitely something that seems to be on the upswing Yeah, it definitely is making a comeback. There are cideries around Madison that are pretty good, for example.

The way Prohibition changed apple production in the US is pretty interesting, I think. Pre-Prohibition, most apples were grown for hard cider or for apple-based liquors like applejack. Prohibition forced apple growers to switch over to growing apples meant for eating instead of fermenting. That snowballed when beer, wine, and other liquors became more popular during and after Prohibition, and it's only fairly recently that hard ciders have started to make a real comeback in the US. Also what we call "applejack" now is pretty different from what it used to be, largely due to it no longer being freeze-distilled (probably a good thing, because freeze distillation can go very wrong very quickly).ShallNoiseUpon posted:zaphod no please I'm sorry but he's right, warm apple cider (the non-alcoholic kind) is pretty good

There's a hard cider by Wyder's that's aged in tequila barrels that my girlfriend absolutely loves, but I don't think it's available like anywhere in Massachusetts so that's another thing we'll miss once we move. Her mom loves it too and we tried to find some anywhere near Boston at all and nope, nowhere.

My girlfriend and her mom are extremely into hard cider. I think my girlfriend has described her mom as "cider snob" before. Neither of them really like beer much but they've introduced me to a lot of really good ciders I'd never heard of.ShallNoiseUpon posted:Tree House is ~1 hour outside of Boston and is real nice and they have a gorgeous location. If you want to take a nice weekend trip I'd say to go up to Alchemist Beer and Hill's Farmstead waaaaaayyyy up in Vermont. Trillium in Boston proper and is really good. Honestly you can probably throw a rock and find a good brewery nowadays but those four are some of the tip-top brewers in the region. Oh yeah, Alchemist! The first time I visited Boston with my girlfriend, we met some of her friends and I had some Heady Topper at their place. Still the best IPA I've ever had.

Last Celebration posted:Anyone have any reccs for good hard cider brands? All this chat is making me curious whether or not my default one (woodchuck) is all that good relatively speaking. Also, gonna go look for some applejack the next time I go beer shopping. If there are any local cideries near you, try them out, there are some popping up in a bunch of places (if you're in the US). As far as nationwide availability, Angry Orchard is pretty widely available and pretty good. If you can get Wyder's, try their Reposado, which is aged in tequila barrels and pretty delicious. Stella Artois makes a pretty decent cider, too. My girlfriend also recommends Ace Cider's blood orange cider if you can find it. It's called SpACE I think going by google?
