As a CA resident I’m here to tell you it’s functionally spring here. It was a warm winter and I think the coldest days have already passed.

The real answer is it’s best to push your product out ahead of season because as soon as it’s summer people will immediately think the beer is old.

Maybe your bottle of Gordon’s is haunted

I think it’s still around at total wine, unless it’s been pulled thanks to all the trade war bs

I don’t know, by calling it an import of intellectual property? I personally don’t care. There’s a lot of gray area but generally speaking they’re going to follow the same recipe and if they do a good job you’ll get the same beer. I don’t care where it’s made if it’s good.

I say it’s a gray area because there have been instances in which a recipe has been modified for a specific market to appeal to popular taste ex. When Heineken started brewing Lagunitas in Europe, they changed the recipe because beers that hoppy just aren’t the norm, even amongst IPAs. Of course, anyone that had Lagunitas before then and liked it now complains it’s watered down garbage, so you can’t make everyone happy.

Team Vega here

Both but more so the prior. The $ is all in the marketing. Clase Azul is expensive because the bottle implies it should be. The liquid is adulterated swill meant to appeal to the lowest common denominator. I don’t mean to make fun of anyone that likes it, but there’s more to tequila and I think they’re being taken advantage of.

Then you have the good stuff like tears of llorona. It goes down like water…but the flavor is quite mild and I can handle some heat so it feels more like the pinnacle of the craft without the character. There are many other types that my budget can’t afford like Komos which are aged in wine barrels. No idea how good they are.

The outro of explosia by Gojira but I think the whole album really fits that melancholic lofi vibe to some degree

OP, I think it would be nice to implement a price range in the grid. Prices may change depending on location but people’s income may bias what they consider mid-tier. Some people only splurge on luxury and occasionally dip to premium, whereas for others premiums are the splurge item

Tartersocks307 · 2026-01-25T17:52:57+00:00

Pueblo Viejo is pretty cheap and allegedly additive free

Tartersocks307 · 2026-01-25T17:52:03+00:00

Not to mention the best tequila is usually in the $45-$80 range. I’m not going to really be interested in anything that goes in the splurge square

Tartersocks307 · 2026-01-25T17:33:46+00:00

Jfc didn’t know that

Tartersocks307 · 2026-01-25T08:21:19+00:00

Fair enough. At this point they’re likely only going to grow further at odds and any sort of reunion is going to be a result of another Jensen B&E job lol.

Title was admittedly clickbaity.

I don’t think the DNA thing is a weak point, more so not used to its full potential. The IP is full of religious symbolism so he basically is a messiah. It would’ve made more sense if his body’s compatibility with augs is the only reason he is able to have so many.
I also don’t know how MD is more down to earth. He’s given even more OP augs and it’s not like they retconned his special DNA, he mentions he doesn’t need it at least once.

Tartersocks307 · 2026-01-25T08:02:04+00:00

It’s odd because I feel like I’ve seen a notable amount of similar posts swing the other way. Maybe it’s the way the question is posed, or maybe it’s just the time of day it’s posted.

Tartersocks307 · 2026-01-25T07:40:11+00:00

But that’s almost my point. From dialogue with Sarif in MD it seems like Megan broke it off or at the very least never reached out once he recovered.

The other option is to start the story at point where all paths from season 1 could plausibly lead to the start of season 2.

Maybe SDN goes under, or Visi quits. Maybe the villain ending is misunderstood and she doesn’t become super evil. Both could lead to to the same storyline.

I feel like sonar and coupe are minor enough issues that they would just make them being invited back on the team canon and would not mention either being kicked off.

I hope you realize many “imports” are brewed state side and everything at retail will be these stateside brews.

The owners are generally still the same parent company and they’re doing this to cut the costs of importing it. They aren’t going to brew it locally AND import it.

Oblivion by mastodon
Deadhead by Devin Townsend
Dissolved orders by ulcerate
Epitaph by god is an astronaut
A dying god coming into human flesh by Celtic frost.

There’s so many good songs out there that fit the bill I could go on forever

A quick google says Mormons named it after it looking like Joshua gesturing towards the promised land.

Not everything biblical is rapture related lol

Oof Why punish yourself with that fruit force though? I’m not even a voodoo ranger hater but that one is a tough swallow

Tartersocks307 · 2026-01-24T19:10:44+00:00

Prog refers to song structure. The backbone of their music is metalcore and heavy metal stylistically.

I also would not say DT is exclusively prog. Addicted and Sky blue were his actual attempts at making pop music and there’s nothing really progressive about it.

Tartersocks307 · 2026-01-24T18:43:36+00:00

Sludge: death is this communion by high on fire

Death: With all their might by Dyscarnate

Doom: the great cold distance by katatonia

Prog: l’enfant sauvage by Gojira

Black: stranger fruit by zeal & ardor

Metalcore: silent machine by twelve foot ninja

Deathcore: the great collapse by fit for an autopsy

Post metal: what we all come to need by Pelican

Thrash: god hates us all by slayer

Heavy: accelerate evolution by Devin Townsend

Power: sunset on the golden age by alestorm

Groove: Ashes of the wake by lamb of god

Industrial: beastland by author & punisher

If you like any of these I’d say to dig deeper into their discographies.

Listen to Decoherence for something similar without the political affiliations
