- Both of your takes are insane.
  If you think Scotch tastes like listerine, I don't know what bathtub hooch you're drinking.
  And your idea that you don't get how video games can be pleasurable is just absolutely willingly ignorant. You have an obsession with booze which is little different than people wanting to play games for pleasure.
  
  You sound like a complete idiot to be honest.
  You're talking to a guy that drank like a lunatic for 25 years, I am a specialist in booze. I was also a professional game developer from 1996-2015 and I'm versed in all the reasons and psychology behind why people enjoy games.
  You're just popping your mouth off, I stopped reading at sentence 2. STFU troll is basically all I have to say to you.
  
  So how related are the professional game dev and professional alcoholic parts of your life?
  
  Well if you could follow a conversation you would see that both things are related to his irrelevant complaints which I'm responding to.
  Why are you in a thread making random comments when you have no desire to pay attention to what's being discussed?
  Guess you have no problem with this person shooting their mouth off and being completely dumb and totally obviously dumb. Everybody's calling him out on everything. And here you are with your magic little piss comment.
  
  Relax, I have no desire to interact with the troll, I was making a lighthearted joke. Who took a shit in your cereal?
  
  That's all well and good but have you tried drinking scotch with OPs mouth? Cos if not, your tastes are probably not relevant
- ...'scotch' encompasses such a vast diversity of spirits that i presume anyone who blanket-dislikes it either 1) doesn't like malt whisky in general, fair enough, or 2) mis-apprehends a specific style as endemic to scotch whisky as a whole...
  ...the latter folks typically dislike peated malts, often after sampling bottom-shelf blends...
  
  ...because it's a plainly ignorant statement akin to "i don't like french music": do you just dislike ~~music~~ malt whisky?..that's a fair statement, but one which would apply to all malt whiskies regardless of nation of origin, as there's no unifying style distinguishing scotch in particular...
  ...conversely, if you don't mind other malt whiskies but dislike something specific about scotch, that's indicative of narrow experience coloring your expectation of a vast ecology of styles and expressions which have little in common other than being based on barley, water, distillation, and age...
  ..."i don't like scotch" is a common statement from folks who've only sampled peated malts; your listerine comment sounds like medicinal peat notes, which are a divisive style...
  
  ...nah man, i'm here for casual conversation; nothing at all shameful about honest ignorance, only willful ignorance...
