Very rarely do I find something that isn't drinkable, but i have a high tolerance for finishing stuff.

The more I drink this the more I get it, so I have upgraded it from gross to not my thing.

I will probably finish it because I wanted one beer this evening and don't feel like cracking open another.

Reminds me of another one I had that I did not care for, but this one surprised me.

I bought I think the most recent edition of Dogfishhead's 120 minute IPA. I know what i'm in for with these highly priced limited edition things: off the charts ABV and one bottle is like drinking a meal. This one I really disliked because while I like an IPA, this one really tasted like sludge. I don't really know, but it was just...it tasted more like a porter.

It ages in the bottle, they say, so maybe in a few years it'll get better.

Southern Tier Orange Twist

I've dumped one beer ever down the drain. I forget what it was, but it was something local. The worst beer I ever remember having was Corona Light, which was not a drain pour for some reason, but this may be one.

What I failed to realize is, this is an imperial ale. I assumed it was a stout by mistake because generally, most of the creamy flavors are stouts.

Decent orange cream flavor to open it up, but the ale flavor, which I don't mind, just mixes really awful with it. It is 8.6% and you don't taste the alcohol, but the ale taste is not meshing with this.

Now, this is a collaboration with Perry's Ice Cream, so I figured it would be more creamy(much like the Kentucky brand vanilla cream stout I had a week ago), but for some reason I get a decent cream, orange peel zest(FHJDKL) and then the ale.

Perhaps if I poured it into a glass it would taste better, and maybe I could come around to it because it's not too far off from what I wanted but yeah.

The argument is possibly dangerous but predictable with clear cut precautions and steps to take so you don't encounter one or if you do, you are safe.

A human however can possibly be dangerous and unpredictable with no real clear cut steps to take to prevent it or come out of it safe.

That's the argument. Which is basically what torchic said but I had to say this too because so many people just cannot figure it out.

I'm not trying to take anything away from Reese, but Clark is the household name right now. I don't watch women's college ball or WNBA(But I also don't watch basketball in general), but I know of Clark. I also know of Angel Reese but only in relation to her on court beef with Clark("you can't see me" gesture which is really just trash talk which happens at all levels of play, men or women, so i wasn't sure what the controversy was). That's it. The WNBA needs to market both stars well, but as said, we're talking about the very first preseason game of the year, so we need far more sample size before we can judge anything.

I remember liking this show when it was on but it also got really annoying or something, I couldn't quite place my finger on it. I guess each episode had a catchphrase(or at least a lot of them) and that's probably it. I do like "I'm Respecting Your Privacy By Knocking But Asserting My Authority As Your Parent By Coming In Anyway" though.

I also remember the special Channel Chasers was one of my favorite things back then. Super fun seeing all the cartoon adaptations. I loved the Simpsons one because they introduced me to a reality I had seen but didn't actually comprehend: in The Simpsons, every adult is really stupid. It was right there in plain sight, but this actually was a wow moment for me and I don't know why.

This is about as low risk as it can get. My own mother would never report me to the police and if I throw out mail she isn't expecting she has no idea.

Comparatively I think I signed up for something when I was 18 and once in a while I get mail from it. She could throw it out and I'd be like "thanks", and thats stuff I likely agree with.

The whole deal behind endless shrimp or pasta is you *can* get endless, but the waiter is really slow, most likely a decision by corporate to intentionally slow down the customers eating habits, but it comes off as poor service. I could see servers hating these endless shrimp promotions because it brings out the absolute animals of society and since they're told to be slow so the patron gets less endless stuff, the customer will probably rightly be pissed off about the poor service.

I havent been to a buffet in a while but thinking about endless shrimp makes me want to go to one now. all the mediocre food you can get, without corporate making you wait 30 minutes in between plates.

Yeah so as far as the characters go Amarant comes in pretty late and also doesn't add much to the story. just kind of like a stereotypical badass who sticks by the party even though they're wussies and beneath him, Quina is hilarious at times but he/she/it(the game IS ambiguous about it) doesn't really serve much of a purpose to the story, and yeah Freya could have been way cooler in the story.

I use speed up in games where it is an option because I like a challenge but time is what gets me. I don't mind the challenge of chocograph hunting, but the damn bird pecks way too slowly for my liking. Or even basic shit like getting in the airship. air travel is soooo slow(but, obviously quicker than before you have vehicles), but then finding a good landing spot you need to take off the speed or else you'll never land where you want. Give and take but yeah I use it a lot.

perhaps since around when it came out. So, this was a sorta new experience in a way. I am at the final dungeon and i've done just about everything worth doing as far as sidequests.

The story at least so far isn't all that memorable. You spend too long in this game not really knowing shit aside from "kuja bad" until way later on. I guess a lot of JRPGs or FFs kinda have this happen.

The characters aren't super memorable for me, either.

However this game has a lot of attention to detail and other fan stuff in it. I love the moogle mail concept and a lot of the attention to details they have like how the world map moogle gets pissed if you call him and don't need him and the various things hinted at when talking to the smart moogle in the Q's marshes.

The world setting is neat. Feel like a mix of steampunk/medieval and it's neat.

What I really liked is how this game is chock full of fun and worthwhile sidequests, though part of that is PC has the speed up function, I imagine choco graph hunting at regular speed would be grueling to get through. But the sidequests are neat. Trivia question guy and the friendly monster sidequests were cool, and the friendly monster one has the added bonus of making one of the superbosses much easier, which leads me to....

I like Ozma a lot. They don't have 5,000,000,000,000 HP, only around 60K, but the AI is actually semi smart in this so even though he has low HP for a superboss, it was really fun trying to take him down.

Frog catching was kinda fun until I got to the end and depleted the marshes so I had to wait a bit to get the last few, but it was unique and I liked it.

Card game isn't as fun as FF8s, but it's still kinda cool.

Overall my impression is the story is meh, characters are alright, but the attention to detail and sidequests are really, really fun, and a lot of them are actually worth the effort.

I know the actual final boss is kinda whack because it's just a random thing who isn't actually Kuja as I remember. Weird, but seeing as FF8s final boss was kinda stupid(though we did know they'd be the final boss in the last 10% of the game) it's...okay.

I don't know why I never went back and replayed this one but I have played 7 and 8 20 times each is probably because once the PS2 game out, the leap in graphics was actually massive, so I kinda soured on PS1 which was a dumb move, but that could explain why I never went back. I had beaten 7 and 8 a couple of times by then, so they stuck.
