Yet another GAF thread - I still haven't got over it :( (No spergfits allowed)

[ToxicAdam]

Just read through that Oscar thread. You have to read those things like you read youtube comments.  Skim over the bullshit and just look for opinions that jive with your own.

That MM speech was amazing.

Thread is gold

Threads like this are amusing because pretty much every poster in there is condemning console wars or claiming that they only get involved for the lols. You'd think it's a forum full of reasonable people, but then we have 5000 page threads over digital foundry articles. I've also seen some of the same dudes in other threads, totally guilty of that shit.

It's a refreshing change from the PR kit OTs or the long winded essays that don't actually say much.

A refreshing change would also be washing balls, wearing pants, and not posting threads during breaks from jerking off to anime. Because that's exactly what he's doing.

Long winded essays wouldn't be bad. I don't think /r/truegaming has the issues that GAF and other places do in making essays that go no where. If they write things out for starting discussion, they generally have it as the purpose of fostering discussion than "I just want to throw my opinion out there."

I haven't been there in a year or so, though. Maybe the quality has dipped.

That one dude caught some feels over the Keurigs. The things people will stan...

I guess it is what it is, but who legitimately gets mad over how people make coffee? Crazyness. One dude is still in there acting like people are actually hating his choice in coffee makers. How.

It's a forum built on tribalism about consoles, no reason why it wont extend to other products.

Yeah but there is a special kind of tribalism at work when you're shilling for some piece of shit thing and you don't even work for a company.

Also I'll never understand the obsession with having coffee if it's shit and fast, at some point why not just drink tea or a redbull.

[Rufus]

Lemme just...

I never understood coffee snobbism either when it's clearly about the caffeine. But maybe I'm just a philistine.

Here we go.

edit: Fucking shit, didn't mean to edit this...

Read what I said again and think harder about it.

[Rufus]

Insert an "either" somewhere.

[Shadow Mod]

You said it's all about the caffeine, so did I, hence the point that you can get it through other means if that's the single solitary goal here.

Hey if the caffeine is low and the taste sucks, what's the fucking point, it's not snobbery, it's a genuine question of why bother.

WW should have known that people would defend something that takes less time by a hair splitting second too, because time is of the essence while they sit there defending whatever it is for hours.

Maybe I'm just mad because coffee gives me a grumbly stomach.

[StealthFan]

As long as it doesn't taste like water I fucks with coffee. Cheap shit, expensive shit. I don't give a fuck as long as it has caffeine and tastes decent.

Being homeless showed me just how trivial standards really are. Difficult to give a fuck about the quality of your coffee while eating beans out of a can, crying about your ex-wife and praying cops or teenagers don't find you and beat you to death in the middle of the night

Wait, that's all K-cups are? Powered shit? I could do that manually myself. Why do I need the waste of plastic?

You can get re-usable K-Cups and put regular coffee grounds in them. That's what I do.

How long are those reusable for? I find the waste of plastic more offensive with K-cups than anything in regards to them. But I'm an environmentalist.

[Himu]

Coffee is coffee. I've had lots of coffee. But tea. Hot tea, done right, is the nectar of Gods. You feel that shit go through your throat, down to your stomach. You literally feel your chest open up more, and you can breathe easier. Drinking tea is therapeutic and delicious. Coffee is...coffee. It's fucking boring.

More than that, coffee has too much averse health risks. I can drink 4-5 cups of tea a day and it could possibly improve my health a bit. Drink 4-5 cups of coffee a day and lol.

And by tea, I don't mean Americanized ice tea.

Where's my monocle and top hat?

[Himu]

Thai tea

[Shadow Mod]

Coffee is boring?

An excellent mocha makes my day.

[Himu]

I don't mean in terms of taste. Coffee can be fucking delicious. But it almost always tastes the same, no matter the brand. Maybe I just haven't branched out enough to taste different types of coffee?

[Shadow Mod]

There's a big difference between types of beans if they are brewed and served properly.

[Himu]

Sure.

[Himu]

So the differences are subtle?

[Himu]

Well, sure. But when I put sugar and cream in my coffee, there's not that many differences to me unless the person fucks it up and makes it overly watery. I think companies make a killing on flavored coffee creams precisely because of what I'm talking about.

[Shadow Mod]

No I don't think so. I think the differences all get lost in bad brews and everything just tastes really bitter and strong. Right now I can tell differences between Sumatran vs Gautemalan vs Ethiopian from the same company. It varies between weak -> strong. More or less notes of cocoa. And more or less body. Right now I'm a fan of Sumatran which people complain is too weak and doesn't have enough body but I brew it strong.
