Am I the only one who can't get the Glade in Celeste to sync with my Manhattan when using the BarTap v2?

Whenever I play Celeste 1.12.0 on Switch and pour a Manhattan using a BarTap v2, the screen flickers at the exact moment the glitchy double‑jump spawns. The UI overlay stalls, making the controller lag by one frame. Is the pulse‑width mod on the tap interfering with the game's 60 Hz refresh? I've tried disabling the tap's RGB lighting, and the problem persists. My rig: Switch docked, HDMI 1.4, BarTap v2 firmware 3.4.1, USB hub power‑cycled.

  • Turned off auto‑blink on the tap – no change.
  • Swapped HDMI cable – still glitch.
  • Used Bluetooth speaker instead of the tap's audio – UI glitch stays.

Need a fix. Either decouple the tap’s PWM from USB or rollback the tap firmware.

Thoughts?

bourbon vs scotch in murder‑scene cocktails: which masks the taste of blood better?

so i’ve been mixing a “black river” with 2 oz bourbon (wild turkey 101) and a splash of absinthe when i thought, why do detectives always note the victim’s last drink?

compare bourbon (high rye, 45% abv, often labeled 101) to scotch (single malt, 40% abv, cask #112) in the context of a crime scene.

‑ bourbon tends to mask iron‑like metallic notes, making blood taste less obvious – like the “smooth talker” killer who bluffs with charm. ‑ scotch’s smoky peat (islamic 12‑yr) actually highlights iron, so it’s the “loud” perp who leaves a trail.

personal anecdote: i once used a drambuie‑infused scotch in a “dead‑man’s fizz” and the victim’s family could actually taste the copper after the autopsy, lol.

question: if you were the forensic bartender, which spirit would you serve to hide a homicide? drop your thoughts, and feel free to throw in a recipe – i’ll upvote the most twisted one. tbh, i think bourbon wins, but scotch lovers will scream at me rn.
