The problem with ghost peppers is that whatever interactions it's doing with the receptors in your mouth will persist going all the way through the digestive tract. In essence, its basically like drinking a can of mace

Ease into it. You may be all "I handled that habanero like a boss, time for ghost pepper" but that is a dreadful dreadful mistake. The difference in heat is exponential, not incremental.
I can handle a decent amount of heat, but if there's no flavor I don't see the point. There's a pepper dust/hot sauce bottler in my town called Volcanic Peppers and they are super good at balancing the heat for flavor. They've got a sauce called the Chocolate Lightning which has a base of chocolate habanero (not sweet, that's just the breed name) and a bit of ghost and scorpion to punch it up, and the flavor is wonderful despite making you reach for the milk quickly.
Oh, and the glove advice is fucking paramount. Use disposable latex gloves and then toss them and for the love of God do not let that oil make contact with ANY part of your body.

The how is clear, but why??
For the oil? Basically it irritates everything like fucking crazy. So cuts, nicks or any of that shit on your hand is a recipe for endless pain. But it's mostly so you don't touch the rest of your insanely sensitive skin like that around your eyes or junk without thinking about it.

no, WHY would anyone wanna eat that stuff? I understand eating peppers and spicy foods, but those things are just sado-masochism
It's like drugs basically. You're always chasing that high.
Literally. The pain from the capsaicin oil gets the body to release endorphins, and the relief when the pain subsides you feel great and energized. The trick is finding the balance between "whoo boy, that's the stuff" and "OH GOD THIS IS AGONY".
And, strangely enough, apparently voluntarily eating spicy food is a uniquely human thing to do. Did not know that before.

Yeah. Spicy peppers evolved that way because birds can't digest the seeds, and also don't taste capsaicin. So the spicness keeps them safe from other animals who would digest the seeds.

I got chilli on my junk once.
That was probably the closest I'd gotten to a religious experience without actually being religious about anything in particular at all - but I wouldn't say I got endorphins from it!
Do the dried peppers still have the oils? Cuz in Woolie's Hot Pepper Gaming video he was touching his face a LOT and by the end it looked like he had a lot of trouble keeping his eyes open.
Since Zeon was mentioned several times in the SRW and EXVS videos and people actually believed that bullshit about independence, I'm just leaving this here.
The only off thing I had with Freedom Planet is that the story, plot, and VA felt like they were from another game entirely. It's not so much that the package were bad, it just felt horrendously miscast for the game. Like having the plot of Metal Gear Solid in between levels of Super Mario Bros, that level of disconnect.
"The sausage of Green Earth explodes with flavor like the cannon of culinary delight."
Yeah, Zeon can go straight hell. With Pat on that one.
And yes, I know the moral quagmires of Gundam well. The Zabi led Zeon are still mostly sucker draftees and fanatics who think they'll earn their "freedom" aka, right to rule, by killing a few billion people.
On that note, one of my favorite Gundam side stories is, "The Plot to kill Gihren," because it tackles that issue head on, and is all the better for it. And it has great action too.

UC is just a crap sack future. You think "Well sure, the Feddies are traitorous back biting assholes, but Zeons are basically straight up space Hitlers. We have to fight against them by default."
The MOMENT the Federation wins (and often before, going from various side series), the victorious Feddies turn into such brutal Facists that Zeon survivors are like "Woah... dude too far. Woah."
Then the freedom fighters from THAT war get nostalgic for the days of causing massive environmental damage and loss of life with Colony Drops and stage a revival tour.

And then when the spacies eventually get their chance to be in charge by Victory, they're horrible to everyone and inspire rebellion. It all just goes in circles.

If you have a choice between piloting a Gundam or living a peaceful life where the most exciting thing that'll happen is watching an asteroid fly by your station. What would you honestly choose?

The thing about Gundams is that they make for sweet-looking attacks in Super Robot Wars games. I will never get tired of watching Kamille dive-bomb into some poor fools. And Banagher is no exception.

Can I just take a Gundam on a joyride, or does Gundam piloting come standard with a frontline position in a bloody war?
Because if the latter, give me peaceful boredom any day.

The only reason why they make Gundams is so they can win the war, so you can only pilot a Gundam during war. Sorry.

Me, I go in for mildly spicy stuff in food for the added flavor and the kick of a mild burn.
I wouldn't eat a jalapeño straight, but I'd definitely throw a fair amount of chopped jalapeño into a stew, soup, or curry.

And Liam will just deadpan the whole thing with Pat saying "WTF?" in the background at the end.
*bursts into the room... uh, like a week late*
the friends put it best when they described it as being to the genesis what shovel knight is to the nes
it's basically like early 90's treasure made a 2d sonic game and also they had access to sega saturn tech for whatever reason
that said, I'm wondering if liam and woolie played the story mode or just classic
