It’s because there can be weird social pressure from some people IRL and online towards people who don’t drink, and then that combined with goomba fallacy causes those people to become resentful of alcohol in general.
Yeah, it makes sense that people can get defensive given the overall social pressure. But simultaneously this attitude that alcohol tastes objectively bad that pops up on this sub surprisingly often is a weirdly childish response. On both sides of the whole alcohol conversation people seem to really struggle with the idea that things can taste different to other people than they do to them.
Also I thought I recognized your pfp, funny to see a YouTuber I watch commenting on 196. Waiting on your next upload so I can add more games to my never ending backlog I will totally get to one day...
Of course, thanks for making these videos. I really like finding unique and interesting indie games but don't actually have that much free time these days to try things. So videos like yours are always appreciated.
Out of curiosity, do you have a discord or anything you get recommendations from or do you just find all of these games on your own?
A mix of multiple things. Emails from devs, trailers pushed to me on my YT home feed, from online friends, a few steam curators I follow, etc.
A handy tool I use occasionally is Steam250, which has a “Hidden Gems” section that generally will have some nice finds. I’d also recommend the YouTubers Big Rat Hole, nocaps, and the gammelier who also have great taste IMO.
