Well, the Japanese do make Shochu out of sweet potatoes (and other things), so I guess wine and beer are not quite out of the question.

Pretty sure that lightsabers are described as being plasma-based even in-universe, rather than lasers. I get that the name can be misleading in that sense.

It's also "missing" King's Field, Shadow Tower, Sekiro, and others so I don't get your "complaint". The art piece is probably meant to showcase something of a return to form for FromSoft in making games other than Soulslikes.

Hat in Time is probably the last big indie 3d platformer, but I'd say Kirby and the Forgotten Land is a decent 3d platformer, unless you meant collectathon style 3d platformer a la what Rare made on the N64 etc. since you mentioned Hat.

I don't know what kind of game entropy center is, but puzzle is IMO not a wholly useful term, since there are different kinds of puzzles and portal falls into the physics puzzle subgenre. There probably are other fpp that aren't based around physics, but I can't think of any right now.

It's more of a line in the sand or a gradient than a hard point of "pass this and you're not human anymore".

Nope, what Prussia_X86 said sounds very much like homophobia. They won't serve his flamboyant fiance because he looks and acts "gay", and if they knew that Prussia_X86 was gay they wouldn't serve him either. While not all gays are as flamboyant as that his fiance sounds like, plenty are, and while not all flamboyant men aren't gay (or even attracted to men among other genders), a good chunk are. There's a reason a lot of people assume that flamboyant men are gay, and it's because a lot of them are.

Some people like the taste of tea over the taste of soda, even if both are equally sickeningly sweet.

Not true about being able to only dissolve the sugar in hot tea, because if it was, the sugar would fall out once it cooled. You can dissolve the sugar into cold tea, it just takes more effort (so time and mixing) than doing it with hot tea and then cooling it. Cold water can hold approx. 1.7g of sugar per gram of water.

The issue is how much hidden sugar there is, especially in the US. Just look at how many things include stuff like corn syrup when it isn't all that necessary.

Oh look, you stumbled on to the point. Valve would benefit from making a more console-like pc (a la the steam boxes from yesteryear) because it could get more people into the valve ecosystem. There are people who buy consoles simply because they offer the simplicity of buying a prebuilt thing that you don't need to fudge around with and comes integrated with everything you need to run the games.
