A few times? So you were uncertain and needed several tastings to make up your mind? :unsure: :unsure:
There was a commercial for Schweppes tonic water in Spain in the 80s whose slogan was "If you don't like it, it's because you haven't tasted it enough times".
I guess the same applies to pineapple on pizza :ROFLMAO:

It always reminds me of the time dad opened the wrong canister on mom's kitchen shelf and rolled our steaks in powdered sugar instead of flour. We wound up going out for dinner that night...
I once put ground cinnamon instead of nutmeg in my pasta (white) sauce. It was one of the best mistakes I did cooking. Since then my pasta sauce has both.

Tonic Water was when I discovered that I am a rarity. I love the taste of it. I also discovered that I can eat Lemons like they are Oranges. Or eat garlic as others eat almonds. Onions as if they are apples.

But, in turn, I can't stand the taste of olives, tomatoes, broccoli, most fishes, most shell fish and a few odd things.

We are all different. We are all special. Just love yourself, yeah?

Peace :)

I don't like soda - unless there's scotch. And I can't stomach seafood at all - maybe a bite of ceviche now & then. But that has to do with the summer I spent doing cannery work ages ago. :)

I've been helping an upcoming dev with his first game
Because, of course, you have so much free time on your hands? :LOL: Guessing .26 and .27 are already finished, you have a solid draft of a workable peace plan for the Middle East ready to email out, and you found a clever way to sterilize trolls over the internet? All just this week, probably.

Just cut it out!! I already feel like I'm underperforming in this life. :ROFLMAO:
How did you know Trope lives on a farm? :sneaky:
That's the Patreon version of that animation. In the SS version with the bpatch Donald eats out the cow's ass instead of yanking on her tail. :sneaky:
He hasn't released the first chapter yet. I only saw the (also unpublished) prologue with the introduction of the setting, and he told me how the story would evolve. His current name is Dianium Studio, but he has changed the name before (it was Paella Studio) for possible copyright issues, since a photography studio opened near his town with that name.
My immediate assumption was that "paella" must be Spanish slang for "pussy"...but then the image of all sorts of small chewy bits down there :sick: made me think "I sure hope it isn't slang for pussy." :LOL:

Hope that wasn't the case when Ted Lasso bit into the candy bar little Ronnie Fowch gave him...
I generally like sweets. I also like fruit. But some flavor combination ...

Sounds more like a feminist PSA promoting cunnilingus. :unsure:

Since you brought it up. In general I don't think this a welcoming community. Innocent questions are (by some) answered mockingly and it feels like some of you are gate-keeping. The slightest critique towards the game are met with outright hostility, again, from some of you.

I'm not talking about my personal interactions mind you since my rudeness got dealt with as it should and I bear no ill will towards any of you. I'm just speaking in general terms.

With this specific user i think it was a bit rude making all those assumptions (even tho they, from the looks of it, was pretty accurate you should've probably given him the benefit of the doubt). Since you all have a great deal of respect for the dev and he engages more than any other dev I've seen on this site with this community I feel you owe it to him to welcome new members and portray both the game and the community in the best way possible, even if someone is a bit rude or asks stupid questions. Why not be the bigger person instead of stooping to their level? I kind of feel that you should reward the Dev's behaviour with promoting his game by being an awesome welcoming community.

Just my two cents.

Edit: forgot to add, props to you FatGiant for actually asking the question if you were in the right or not, it shows that you care, something that's pretty rare on the internet nowadays.

In general I agree with your view that I may have been too aggressive on the first response.

He rubbed me wrong, not exactly for critiquing the game, he hadn't even played it, but, by his attitude towards everything, like it was made to annoy him.

I could have been the bigger person and let it fly by, sure. The thing is:

1- If I had, we would have to deal with that attitude anyway and for longer. That 1st post was a test. He was trying to see, maybe even without noticing, what the limits were and with how much he could get away with.
2- I am not a confrontational person, but, I also hate bullies. He entered here as if the whole point of this thread was to serve him, expecting everyone to be polite to his rudeness, as he is undoubtedly used to. He barks, everyone cowers to not make a scene.
3- Because I value the community we created here, I have to be intolerant of the intolerants. I can't see any polite and respectful way to face up a bully that is effective, they don't respect or even understand that language.

So, sorry if I caused an incident, but the intention and the deliberate way it was done is, to me, more important. No bullies, never again.

Again I say, I am a pacifist, but I am not Pacific.

Peace :)
