Ooh, nice. It’s rare to see another SEA-an around this part.
aligned with people who doesn’t grow up with it.
Oh, yeah I agree. What I’m trying to get to is that someone with an entirely different set of culture (foods) already has a predetermined set of palate of what kind of taste to expect, so even if they power through the initial smell they just more likely to dislike it cuz it resemble nothing they usually consume.
Another example i can give is smelly tofu
I would take a guess that we’re probably neighbours country. I haven’t taste smelly tofu in particular, but I can imagine the smell. The by-products of the normal one would make anyone gag, this one probably just straight up has the sewage aroma because of the aging and what not.
petai/stink
The bathroom situation is what makes me hate it. I wouldn’t refuse if offered but never choose it myself.
So i feels like, unlike cilantro
Funny, I can’t stand cilantro. I don’t think I even has the “soapy” taste gene. It just taste like random grass to me and everytime it I accidentally taste it I thought “this ain’t human food” lol. The brain is fascinating, huh.

Are you natives?
I am, and I concluded it (obviously) cultural. We didn’t as familiar with different varieties of cheese, so the stinky cheese (don’t remember the name) have absolutely foul smell to me.
On the other hand, most never even questioned that durian smell is just that, durian and nothing to overcome. It doesn’t register as something nasty to the point where someone who actually didn’t like it usually seen as the weird one ( also cuz it’s considered expensive fruit)
And to answer OP question, it tasted creamy as in dairy to me but I don’t like dairy products besides yogurt so I maybe wrong.

I adore this game. Pretty unique magic system (needed for late game) and mechanics and interesting characters to follow.
It’s an absolute grind-fest but I grew up with it so I’m used to it by now.
I wish Atlus or whoever holds the IP make a new entry with it.
If you find an account with a “Leimrey” username in the wild, there’s a great chance it’s mine cuz I always used that up until my highschool day.

It’s not soy ? What is it then?
Also what’s wrong with soy? I’m assuming there’s some health restriction I’m not aware here.

I’ve raised dozen of strays I picked-up from the streets over my lifetime. None but one was food motivated enough to steal our food, and the orange one that did isn’t so stubborn as to push his luck, a simple hush was enough to deter him.
Though I’m SEA, most of our food is plant based and the occasional meat we have is drenched in seasoning I don’t think they recognize it as food lol.

- Comment on We all took foreign languages in school and none of us can actually speak those languages 4 months ago:
Well, I tried to makes fun of you missing the million unit there, hah.
And to be honest there’s virtually no one actually speak formal Indonesian in daily life beside media/government stuff. Excluding the capital most city will speak their regional language especially older folks.
It’s always funny hearing newly learned non-native because the grammar is so easy and consistent but they sound like a rigid ancient soap drama to my ear.

I love the silly early to middle phase. The late game mechanic always bored me (IIRC haven’t launch it in a while).
I want spore with more involved prey predator mode, let me be vicious goblin.

Nintendo games, by comparison, are worth more than the slop that Ubisoft craps out
Agree, I grew up with Playstation up until the ps3. I have never owned a Nintendo console my whole life and the only Mario games I’ve tried is the O.G back then, but it’s clear to me that Nintendo put better effort into every bit of design of their IP release.
I know the Jazz scene would go nuts over a “Mario Kart Lick”, and I never played Mario Kart even once.

Good stuff. I knew competitive beyblade exist but never took a peek.
The Attack, Defense, Stamina arch type makes total sense even though I have no idea how the individual parts contributed to each stats.
Well, except maybe the metal ball tip, longer spin (less friction (?)) but less stable.
