Ill probably have lost interest by then, rocksteady. Other games will have come out finished by then that Ill be busy with.

Nah, these complaints started at least a few months ago. The recursion thing is newer than that

I think Ill just wait to see what it looks like on release. If you are putting stock in faith about a game you just learned might be coming out, you might need to chill

And a steam page, that still advertises it as an mmo

From the article it sounds like her health took a huge downward turn. Hope she is okay, and even if the project is dead Id like confirmation at some point that she isnt.

The project is cool but her health is more important

What toxin causes disease in a way that capsaicin doesnt at a high enough dose? The only difference between capsaicin and any other toxin is the pathway of activity and dosage. Enough cap will definitely kill you, and it has a well documented list of capsaicin poisoning symptoms.

It is literally a toxin, which is part of why it binds to your pain receptors and not your taste buds.

Which is also why it reacts with your entire digestive system, not just your mouth. Because it is a mammal targeting poison that evolved to deter unwanted predation. Its supposed to make you sick, so you dont eat the pepper and grind its seeds with your teeth.

Its just a toxin that is only deadly in insanely massive doses, that humans are lucky enough to be able to build tolerance for.

Capsaicin is not the first toxin humans ingest for fun. It will not be the last. But while lots of toxins are fun to eat, you shouldnt forget that it is very much a toxin, which is why some people cannot stomach them. Not everyone can stomach eating poisons easily, and you can have too much of them if youre not careful.

E: to clarify, "you dont taste with your butthole" means while capsaicin is a fun flavor boosting chemical when paired with food, you do not get the additional flavor when that chemical passes through your south mouth and shares its little gift regardless.

You got the bird gene, lucky bastard

Right, but specifically that joke cannot be made successfully in regions where pepper based spice is common cuisine. Because those people dont have that reaction.

And a large portion of the US makes that spice a common part of normal meals, thanks to proximity to mexico, or international ports.

Basically, this is only funny to people in very isolated communities and the central northern states. Both coasts and the south have plenty of spicy influence.

Its not that they arent used to flavored food. You have a built up tolerance to a mildly toxic chemical such that it doesnt cause you intestinal inflammation anymore.

I love heat as much as the next guy, but lets be clear. You dont taste with your butthole, and its a toxin that doesnt discriminate between tongue and tookus.

The spice jokes happen in any nation that culturally lacks a pepper based heat as a common seasoning, towards any food with said spice. Southern states, who share food inspiration with mexico, do not have these jokes. They eat the hottest nonsense sauces, theyre used to the effect.

If you cant tell the difference between passive aggression and politeness, you gotta talk to someone about learning. Big big big difference there.
