    Just be glad he's not at cold stone or he'd make him sing.

    Besides based on his age he might have started this conversation.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    I wish I was good at these types of games. The Surge looks great, but I know I'd give up in frustration. It happened with Dark Souls 2 and 3, and also with Bloodborne. Not talking myself into buying the game this time! Nope!

    ...It does look pretty cool, though.

    I actually can't eat ice cream. . .
    Does the high amount of sugar in the product make you thirsty afterwards or is it actually a good idea on a hot day?

    Making a hard transition; if "The Surge" doesn't satisfy your thirst I can recommend Dead Cells early access at the moment

    Making this kind of game requires walking on a thin-line easily slipped off. As harsh as Dark Souls is, it's not crafted to be bullshit-random-dice-roll difficult. It allows for observation and learning to overcome things that kill you (or prevent said death). The first game probably had the most slip-ups in that regard, with moments of "ha now you're just dead."

    I dunno anything about The Surge. Is it made by From Software? If so I'd trust them to handle the genre right. If not, be wary.

    Nobody likes me but that's okay. I'm used to it.

    For a minute there I thought the ice cream server was supposed to be the developer and became confused. Then I realized an ice cream game that came with a scoop peripheral might be kinda rad. I ended up imagining an entire line of games and peripherals involving serving people food but then began having flashbacks from my time working behind the counter at Taco Bell.

    Much like the overnight stocker/retail sales simulator I thought up and then quickly stopped thinking about there are some things I'd rather not help bring to fruition.

    My first CompSci professor used to work at Baskin Robbins when he was young. He said it gave him huge forearms.

    Nah, it's made by the folks who did Lords of the Fallen, which was a not very good Souls clone. This one has been getting some praise though. Especially for its combat, which is apparently quite good.

    I can't enjoy 75% of games nowadays because they're either some "Dark Souls Hard" style game or a Rogue-Like or some combination there-of. I don't have time for that kind of grind.

    Protip: never ever ask the innocent question "hey, is this game, like, Bayonetta difficult or Dark Souls difficult?" on a video game forum because that will lead to a condescending, multi-paragraph screed about how you need to learn to dodge instead of just answering the question.

    This has happened to me twice now.

    Glucose (Sugar) and Sodium (Salt) are good for you on a hot day as they help stop dehydration and Ice Cream has both and tastes great.

    In Atlanta Surge is plentiful at certain gas stations, but I could see it not being as readily available in other cities.

    Hell, most places around here still tend to even have Vanilla Coke. Finding some Jones Soda however, quite difficult.

    Gabe isn't the one ice cream vendors need to be wary of - remember the "chuwero scoopslut" incident?
