      Starfield is incredibly bland. I was calling it "Space Skyrim" after the first few hours, and it turns out that's too much praise. So much of the game seems shoehorned in, the story is ill-conceived and poorly realized. I haven't played enough Baldur's 3 or Armored Core 6, but maybe those games would be fertile for drinks?
      Or maybe bad/mediocre games are the ones that most need drinks, because they help dull the edge of disappointment?

    I thought the obvious joke with the Departure Time, given the combination of its name and description, is that it's not really one specific drink, it's just a way to quickly order "Hey, bartender, I want one more drink because I gotta go" and he makes you the quickest drink he can out of whatever he has closest at hand when you ask, presumably something cheap.

    Between this and the Cyberpunk episode, game designers should just enlist the channel to create drinks like Easter eggs in the game and include the recipes as part of unlocking it

    • @MissingmyBabbu
      @MissingmyBabbu 9 місяців тому +9

      Recipes might be hard, though, considering some of these drinks were made with specialty liquors. Like you can say 'this is vodka and lime' or 'this is beer and whiskey' but if you have to specify a brand or get too specific, you run into issues with copyright. Then there's also the Jack Thompson holdouts who will claim giving cocktail recipes is encouraging 'kids' to drink (despite iirc Starfield being rated M?).

      @@MissingmyBabbu An M rating means 17 and up. In most places that's still between 1 to 3 years before legal drinking age. It's also a suggestion, not a requirement, and most parents are willing to ignore it for better or worse.
      On the matter of specific brands, it's very easy to come up with parody names and similar visual designs on the in game art to elude to real world brands, similar to what fallout did with Nuka Cola, or how a ton of anime put "WacDonalds" restaurants into backgrounds of shots.
      For example: adding a liqueur into a game called "Meister" with art of a familiar green bottle featuring a wolfs head on the label. It's legally distinct, but everyone is gonna know what it is.

    I'm almost convinced at this point with how often descriptions of cocktails in video games and their appearance not matching is just a long running joke.

    Lemons and limes often get confused because of the origin of the citrus itself in which the term "lemon" was used to often denote citrus of all types rather than merely what we today think of as a traditional yellow lemon (hence why in many Mexican/Tex-Mex restaurants, if you want a lime with your drink instead of a lemon you have to ask for "limón verde" - literally green lemon - rather than asking for a "limón" in your drink).

Sure, it's depicted in-game as being in one of those zero-G-safe pouches, but still...

    Your pea blossom gin was an admirable attempt, but to get that blue blue blue, I'd recommend Empress blue gin, or Ink gin. Both are precisely ultramarine, without a hint of purple. I'm not sure if you could layer it so that the acid doesn't transform the bottom-most gin. I've never had the pleasure to work with either, but I suspect you could. As you said though, I'm sure it wouldn't last much longer than the beauty shot.

    The Chimera is my favorite just because it is an experience that is more of a symphony that requires the user to go on a journey in the world you made for them rather than a lazy drink and experience. You can sip each section and then go full chaos mode and mix the crap together. That, to me, isn't something you drink all the time but is definitely something that would be worth paying for.

    Fingered Citron or Budda Hand make a great 'cello as in Lemoncello. However, if you are going to cady the peel after ward you really do need to some of the pith away and not just cut discs like I did.

    More Starfield drinks from the Vulture's Roost bar computer on Jaffa IV in the Jaffa system, typed exactly as written in-game. Listed as 'Shots and Specials':
    Keep the Tab Gunnin'
    - 2 part OJ
    - 1 part rum
    - Mysterious animal tusk (this stuff tastes wild! Has some other properties too...)
    Crush tusk and muddle with a bit of salt. Mix with third of juice. Take remainder of juice and mix with rum, then float that on top.
    'Ole RagTag
    This one's for pops. Man always wants to try what you're drinkin, then he doesn't take more than a swig. I wasn't feeling quite myself the other day, so I did what I do best. Mixed a bit of everything we got and my day got a lot better. Look, trust me they'll love it and its a great way to balance inventory when some products get low cuz you can change this one up every time.
    Moonwalker
    - 2 part soda
    - 1 part top shelf dark liquor of choice
    - Crushed special leaves
    -3 drops of that neon fish oil. Careful here, its potent.
    For our more refined killers. Make salt rim with crushed leaves. Mix soda and liquor, drop fish oil and gently swirl on surface. Sprinkle a bit more crushed leaves on top.
    Highered Head
    Mix cheap vodka and some syrup, then add a drop of Aurora.
    The Odds...and Ends
    Tall shot, half well whisky, half well rum.

And you even revealed them lying about Alien fruit probably for profit and liability reasons. Lol Oxhorn needs to explore this in a lore video.

    love your show, not sure if anyone already mentioned it and just putting it out there for educational purposes.
    Shochu and Soju are very different however, I understand why so many people mix it up. for 1, it is spelled similar and 2 because it is spelled similarly, Shochu is often spelled as Soju when it is imported in the early days. However the two are very different. Best way to know the difference is that one bottle will use Japanese while the other uses Korean.
    Soju(korean) is like a vodka that is sometimes lightly sweetened. It is a spirit that is distilled a few times to get a high alcohol % then diluted down to 12-30% alcohol. So it is a nearly tasteless spirit unless sweetened heavily or lightly. 30% soju is more often used to infusing ingredients.
    Shochu follows a similar process beginning like whiskey and possibly a white rum if not mistaken. I know you are very familiar with rum and I am not.
    Shochu(Japan/one of Japan's secrets for their spirits) starts with a Mash that can be Barley, Rice, Sugars, or Sweet potatoes. Though it doesn't have to be one of those 4. It is distilled only once using a pot still and only a pot still usually producing something around 40% then cut with water to bring it down to around 20-25%. Distilled only once to retain more of the flavors from the original ingredient.

    Mentioning because of Greg's rant about enjoying building something within given parameters, I'd love to see him as like a "contestant" on a (casual) Iron Chef-like bartender game show. Given a goal and a set of necessary ingredients and a certain amount of time with other UA-cam bartenders/mixologists to compete against. Since he's buddies with Brennan Lee Mulligan, maybe Dropout could be the home for such a show.
