  First time seeing this but you got me, now I really want to press that button. Why am I so easily manipulated?

  It’s so much fun to watch other people figure things out. It’s the closest we can get to playing the game again.

  It can be played pretty casually. A run usually takes around an hour but you don’t have to play it in one go. And on the base difficulty it’s pretty approachable. You definitely don’t have to play 500 hours to enjoy it. But you can if you want to :)

  This standard is not meant to define the proper method for brewing tea intended for general consumption, but rather to document a tea brewing procedure where meaningful sensory comparisons can be made.

  As long as you’re not claiming to be a purist I’ll allow it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tea Time⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  True, I forgot about that!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tea Time⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “Preparation purist” is wrong. You don’t boil the tea, you steep it in hot water. For some teas, like black tea, you usually boil the water before pouring it over the tea, but other types of tea use water that isn’t as hot (e.g. around 70-80°C for green tea).

  Also, if you actually want to be an ingredient purist, tea must be made from the leaves of Camellia sinensis (or a closely related species).

  I’ve found some and it sucks if the one game that doesn’t work well is one you play a lot. For me it’s Trackmania. It works some of the time but often breaks. It seems like the issue isn’t with the game itself but with Ubisoft Connect, which is pretty shit even on Windows. Very annoying.

  I thought the same thing but it sucks because I really want a new F-Zero but I can’t see myself playing this a lot. It’s fun for a little bit but just too chaotic for me.
