Exactly all the hype started after the game released and people banged on about how fucking amazing it is. Nearly 200hrs later and I concur.

It’s certainly a lot harder to drive a manual if you’ve never had a teacher next to you.

Also you reset your taste buds and come to realise how greasy and sugary everything is that you don’t make yourself or eat out at a nice place.

It’s pretty acidic which sucks for your teeth for one but that wasn’t what I was trying to say

Yeah I just really mean as a diet as a whole though. If you have an issue with sugar intake then you’re probs drinking way too much sugary drinks. To suggest just swapping out sugars for fake ones I don’t think is best choice to suggest for most people.

I think there’s probably tons of other issues too just aside from the excess glucose. So fix the diet not the sugar.

Yeah I agree it’s fine that a most of these chemicals are safe in moderation and well researched. My gripe is the hot swap fix-all attitude that people can take from it.

Yeah that or distant relatives

My gripe is that swapping out sugars for fake ones doesn’t seem healthy long term regardless of any direct impact aspartame itself may have. Just have less sugar imo.

Edit: didn’t realise how controversial that soft opinion would be lol. Look, drink what you want but I’m going to stick with water unless it’s a treat. I know it’s not healthy for me to scratch the dopamine itch with sugary tasting treats all the time; fake sugar or not. My perspective is less about trying to say, diet soda is bad but that there must be better alternatives to suggest than just sweetener filled copies?

This reads like an ad straight from the 60s lol

I think the one Birra Moretti does isn’t too bad either
