Piped water can taste like garbage depending on where you live. Mine is pretty undrinkable without a tap filter, at least.

That's still a lot of soda. I maybe drink 1-2 liter bottles of Coke Zero in a week.
Edit: And when I get to two in one week I think that is too much.

If he really does drink anywhere near 240 monthly, with that much sugar he'd surely die sometime in the next 10 years?
I don't see how your body could take that.

I thought diet soda had fake sugar that is actually worse for you?

Only if you believe the anti-aspertame crackpots and not actual science.

that's largely a myth/claim unsubstantiated by research. sure, it's worse for you than water but there's no actual evidence to back up the claim that aspartame will give you cancer/lupus/seizures, anything. it's one of the most studied food ingredients ever.
now, he's gonna have the mother of all kidney stones if he keeps this up, but ultimately it's probably less harmful than if he was drinking sugar.

I mean, nothing that is actually proven scientifically. A lot of natural health "experts" would like you to think so though.

Fair enough, that's something new I learned!
Still just gonna stay away from soda as much as I can though, unless I'm out on the piss and need something to go with my Amaretto...

Is there a difference between diet Pepsi and pepsi max?
Diet has more fake sugar in it, so it tastes sweeter. Marketingwise Diet is for women and Max is for men. Same with Coke Light and Zero.
Uh oh. I like Diet Pepsi more, but I've also had Dr. Pepper 10. What do I do?

It's just dumb marketing. Check the commercials before and after they introduced Max. They went from Mike Tyson and Easy Rider to some Sex and the City looking theme.

I thought max had more caffeine? Or was that an older era of max?
That's what he's said for years as the reason he never liked it. One of those weird Jeff opinions

True, but I will also never understand it. The aiming is of course not like in an FPS, but also a complete non-issue.
It's Jeff being Jeff. It aiming isn't pin point accurate like in a FPS or your action game has animation priority he won't like it. No matter what the merits are.

The problem with diet soda is that while the aspartame isn't bad for you in the same way sugar is, it still stokes the body's want for more sweet things. So somebody can just drink more diet soda to quench the hunger for sweets, but a lot of the times it ends up with the person eating unhealthy things like cookies or cake.
Might be because Jeff is colourblind?
I always found the aiming in RE4 (and 5 and 6) to be pretty good. I actually turned off laser sights for 6 and I could still headshot with ease.
True, it can create cravings. Gotta have yourself under control, or just not drink as much of it.

I have this problem alot of the time, and I am going to kick soda to the curb all together and only drink water from now on.

He has mentioned that he drinks a shit load of soda a day.
I thought I'd be groaning at the idol stuff but it's having that weird Catherine effect on me where I'm more interested just because it's so different from what I'm used to.
Helps that it's also a damn good straightforward console JRPG. How often do we get those? I mean, Xenoblade wasn't too long ago but that game is crazy. This is dungeons and stats and boss fights.

I sort of want that game. But idol culture and such is a real hurdle for me to get over, I just have such a negative opinion on it for a lot of different reasons. Not even just that its "creepy" but in the sense that narratives about how "inspiring" it can be to be part of the Japanese live entertainment industry run so counter to so much of what I've actually read and heard about

I dunno, I think it looks stupid in a really good way. Probably the only WiiU exclusive I'm bummed about - hopefully like the Wii it ends up being sold for £30 somewhere.
Also, does this QL sound Skyped in or something?
