  • Oh yeah, it was a recommendation. Having just picked up a stack of old SciFi pulp (Clifford Simak paperbacks this time), I’m gonna guess that our tastes align enough that you might like it. It is weird though and the character switching is a bit more intense. Not just the perspective changes, the whole writing style drastically changes and even the syntax changes to suit each character.









  • The comparison with IPAs is apt. For me an IPA is really only suitable when it balances the flavors of some other food. But, let’s be honest. People aren’t getting IPAs for the hops. They’re getting IPAs for the higher ABV. And, while I love blue cheese I never sit down and just eat it alone like I could disappear a block of aged cheddar. Blue cheese is always better when it balances the flavors of other foods like bacon, dates, cured meats, buffalo wings, cauliflower, salads, etc.

    Truffle oil on the other hand might as well be snake oil. Truffle oil is never authentic, it’s just flavored oil. Just give me some damn mushrooms and if truffles aren’t available find another good mushroom and stop trying to make it an oil.




  • Ok, now convince that your entire rant wasn’t just a language learning model’s hallucination of what sounds like a reasonable explanation, but doesn’t actually make any sense or have any grounding in reality. Because that’s what it sounds like. I was going to start picking apart your explanation, but there’s just so much wrong and inconsistent that I gave up.
