[2house2fly]

As far as I remember, he just doesn't like alcohol or being drunk

 

[2house2fly]

Fucking diet coke though. That aspartame shit is so bad for you the coca cola corporation has suppressed studies to look into how bad it is for you. Drink water like a man.

You can clean pipes with it...that should tell one everything...

He is of the ummah, befitting of him

Food "science" is complete and utter bunk. Guide to healthful eating: everything is fine in small amounts.

 

[FreeKaner]

Everything is "fine" in small amounts in that human body is capable of recovering from even direct poisoning. You are also supposed to eat diverse enough to have a healthy balance of nutrients and bacterial flora. You can survive on little amounts of coke and deepfried twinkies for a long time doesn't make it good on long term.

Or bad, considering here I am decades later.

You are debatable as a specimen.

It does explain one or two things though.

 

[MWaser]

you can survive on large amounts of junk food and coke for decades, as America is a perfect proof of

 

[pomenitul]

'Survive' is indeed the correct euphemism.

 

[vonAchdorf]

Diet coke is for women and fags.

Aspartame is one of the most rigorously tested food ingredients on the planet. Suppressing a few studies (most likely funded by the Sugar Industry or other competitors) would have little effect on anything. As far as artificial sweeteners go, I prefer Erythritol.

 

[MWaser]

rise of brain cancer incidence has been theorized to either be linked to aspartame or cell phones due to time corelations. So exist at your own risk in this world.

I'm sure you've supplemented your diet with generous doses of soy and vaccines

[vonAchdorf]

A diverse diet is healthy diet - so you should alternate between McD, Burger King, Wendy's, Carl's Jr and Taco Bell.

 

[rohand]

Go easy on Doritos and Dew though

 

[Infinitron]

Josh goes on a little rant about game length:

 

[Major_Blackhart]

So I'm guessing it's short?

 

[2house2fly]

He seems to disagree with the idea that shorter games "respect one's time" suggesting if anything that he's worried reviewers will complain Deadfire is too big

 

[Rivmusique]

Seconded, jog my memory if you can please.

 

[HoboForEternity]

Respecting your time means it is designed effectively with alot of QoA features and optimization.

Like a 4 hour game can not respect my time if half of them are unskippable cutscene or loading screen.

The same can apply if a 150 hour game can resepct my time if every second of it is a pure joy and enjoyment

 

[Infinitron]

Seconded, jog my memory if you can please.

He's talking about the whole quest chain that revolves around getting permission to enter the Blacklake District: https://shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=945

He's talking about the whole quest chain that revolves around getting permission to enter the Blacklake District: https://shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=945

Then he's being inaccurate because that's the main quest, not a sidequest.
