Off Topic Discussion Megathread

...

I've been posting on forums since I was a kid, so I've seen all kinds. SWTOR, ESO with my beta account, Warframe with my beta account, Nexon, Steam community, Cdpr (Cyberpunk made me mad), etc.. etc..

There was this one thread in the SWTOR forums, I still remember to this day, some guy would post his like skimpy outfit (photoshopped?) male character. The thread was entirely about that. Just various screenshots of his male character and other male characters like this.

I posted on the Lost Ark forums as well, during the early month(s). I was mostly in skin threads or talking about artist class or something though, so you may have missed me. Also, I did get suspended at one point for disagreeing with their moderation - which I have posted about here. Now that place was something else, in terms of negativity.

PoE, I might have played that in beta as well; it was very early on, that's for sure. Never could get into the game. As for a fast paced or slow paced ARPG, I suppose Diablo players would prefer it more fast paced, and I think I have seen people say Diablo combat is better. I don't have a strong opinion on this subject, and lack the knowledge of PoE gameplay. I think I might have gotten past the prison boss (?) or something, a little after that. That's how much experience I have in that game. Also, always sorceress, or whatever that class is called.

Soda? I don't really know how people can drink that stuff, to be honest. I have been given a root beer float in the relatively recent past (1 or 2 years ago), and it was way too sweet.

That's why I primarily drink diet / "Zero" sodas; I hate the syrupy sweetness of regular ones.

Of course aspartame is also not really good for you, but diet sodas are a relatively mild vice as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, each to their own but I can't stomach anything that tastes blatantly artificial. I mostly drink water and occasionally treat myself to a cup of tea or coffee. Especially when the weather is colder.

Space Coke (Zero) is now impossible to find, having been supplanted by the far inferior Marshmello collaboration Coke (Zero).

I never figured out what flavor the Space Coke was supposed to be exactly, but I grew to quite like the taste, and my disappointment it is no more is immesurable.

Tried it once. Tasted like cotton candy to me. Wasn't a fan.

You probably want to stay away from the Mountain Dew mango and pineapple flavored ones. Oh, and that Flamin' Hot Mountain Dew too. Tried the hot one once and I nearly choked trying to swallow.

"Flamin' Hot Mountain Dew"? You mean like Flamin' Hot Cheetos or whatever? I remember back in California, kids loved those. But as a drink? What are people even thinking?

Yes, they made a "Flamin' Hot" Mountain Dew. I don't know how it tastes, because that's too out there even for me. How cayenne pepper and citrus are supposed to mix, I have no idea.

The vast proliferation of Mtn Dew (yes, that's what it's officially called now) flavors irks me.

Soda in general is a sometimes drink. But most restaurants don't serve much else, aside from tea or lemonade (which they usually fill with so much sugar anyway that there's little difference) or alcohol (I don't drink, and I'm usually driving when we go out).

Oh yeah, I only drink *unsweet tea and water. I don't even do juice anymore. Stopped really drinking anything like soda over 10 years ago (I drank it on occasion as a kid). Once you stop drinking a lot of sugary things, you can't really go back, or at least I can't, because even a sip of some of the stuff people give you with it in it, tastes like it has a mountain of sugar, and I am pretty sure they do actually have a mountain of sugar. Something like Mountain Dew is literal syrup.

I rarely eat sweets either, honestly it's all probably not only been good for my teeth and health in general. I've never even had a cavity. Now, granted, I think I have digestion issues, so I stay away from a lot of foods in general. It's really when I am given something that I even try to eat some of it, and that's mostly out of me just trying not to be rude.

Yeah, that's for sure, I've heard diet gives people cancer though.
