Yup I remember thinking to myself at the time that I must be tasting incorrectly or somehow my tongue is different from everyone else lol.

I guess a combination of things. Bad early science that was easy to present in a little diagram. Then when it’s disproved, nothing similar to replace it with but the unglamorous fact that it all just sort of tastes the same.

I always think about when I was taught about taste and the human tongue back in grade school, they had these diagrams about zones on the tongue corresponding to sweet, sour, bitter, etc. like a “taste map”. I’m not sure how many generations were taught about it but turns out it just isn’t true at all. So, not like it’s important but you got a lot of misinformed folks out there in regards to taste lol

Do we get a heads up like “You’re about to suddenly wake up a thousand years ago in England good luck!” BOOSH because otherwise it kinda matters exactly where you get dropped. For me it really wouldn’t matter much, I’d be dead pretty quick either way but someone with some skills might have a go at it.

I’m terrible too lol I only play on PVE servers. Big update 42 is coming down the pipe soon(ish), might be a good time for you all to pick it back up.

Steam tells me 4 games over 1000 hours. I had 6136 hours in Crusader Kings 2 when I stopped playing in 2020. 1018 in CK3 but I don’t play it anymore either. 1132 hours in Project Zomboid. 1210 hours in SCUM. Back in the day I put in a stupid amount of hours in Everquest and WoW though.

Never paranormal. Everything has an explanation sometimes the explanations are beyond our comprehension and I think that’s the tricky little blank spot where people tend to insert whatever the fuck they want in place of the truth. To me being able to admit I will never know certain things is important, I can still keep a open mind while I do that. Basically I’ll believe it when I see it and haven’t heard a believable ghost story in my 40 years. People get scared and they lock that moment into time and refuse to budge on the fact that the reality may not be exactly how they always remembered it, or something.

Mmmm Kraft dinner + tuna
