Personally I don't care about penis size - I'm asexual and not really 'in the game', so to speak - but I do care about my hair, and find the thought that I'm likely going to go bald (it's a coin-toss, really) terrifying. Not only cause I think I'd look like shit bald, but I feel that losing my hair will force me to let go of a major way I have to express myself, all whilst making me more masculine than I really want to be. What do I think when I see people make fun of shit-heads like Andrew Tate and Trump for having the same issue as me? It's not "fuck yeah dunk on those bastards." It's "Oh. That's what people really think, huh?" It's not like I can escape it by wearing a wig, because the very idea of doing that is a point of derision as well :(

Plum has never gotten the prominent status they deserve

It's weird to see them freaking out about this when this was just a pitch at microsoft. Meanwhile in reality Sony bought exclusivity for all the bigger Square Enix games

Yeah. Thats uh.. I mean its just insulting and bigoted... Does sweden have nazi protests as well? Could any harsher/strict forms of religion have to register where they burn things banned based on their beliefs? The mafia has a "shoot the police pinata" protest...? If its a free for all, thats the price of admission.


I can only imagine how weird you feel being angry at a religion, covering its text in bacon, and stomping on it whilst its on fire.

So... Is there a law against just dowsing someone with a fire extinguisher? I mean, "I was worried they'd catch on fire, as they're standing next to fire" is a great reason to just fully unload a fire extinguisher on book and person.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/ever-gorge-on-a-game-to-the-point-of-feeling-ill.735867/

So I just plowed through the entirety of a cute little puzzler for the Switch called "A Little to the Left." The puzzles sparked my severe OCD, and I wound up going through the entire game in a few hours in a nonstop marathon. And now I feel rather ill and like I may have possibly summoned a cenobite or two which beheld me for a moment, shook their heads in dismay, and called ubers back home to hell.

Have you ever unintentionally speed-run a game? I'm not just talking about playing for a long period, but just BLASTING through the damn thing like all of your thought processes just got absolutely rerouted into it.

Last time this happened to me it was when Pikmin originally launched on the GameCube and I played at such a pace my eyes started to bleed. Which is always a sign of a fun game.

By the bye, "A Little to the Left" was really charming and cute and the puzzles were very satisfying. I think I'm missing my Layton fix of puzzles.

Very normal person

What sucks about this thread is that the OP is skewing discussion with the thread title.

"Only" 994k viewers, as if those numbers are automatically bad.

If according to this (very unreliable) tracking site, The Mandalorian's finale did 1.4m and Peacemaker, which is considered a success, did 584k, why are these bad numbers for a Nick Fury spin-off series? What do you think the numbers should be to not fall into the disappointment-skewing "only" descriptor?

I don't think Peacemaker is considered a big success, but it was filmed with mostly nobodies in a couple of highly reused key locations that are probably on a sound stage in a backlot.

Secret Invasion from the trailer has at least 2 decent draw hollywood stars plus a stack of other hollywood cameos, is globe trotting to multiple exterior locations with movie budget levels of extras knocking around, and has a bunch of vfx and big scale action set pieces to account for.

If you make $10million on fucking Blair Witch Project youre a goddamned genius. If you make $10 million on Expend4bles you dun fucked up

Gotta agree, on the chance that it's a member from here, don't engage people directly, that's shit

I agree, but also:

Contrary to what movies and TV shows might tell you, living with a dissociative disorder does not mean you have to suffer. With the right help and support network, you are more than capable of living a full life. The opportunity to thrive is more than possible.

contrary to what movies and tv shows might tell YOU, if dissociative identity disorders are even real - which is fiercely fucking debated by actual professionals - it manifests as lost time and fugue states, not as voices in your head that you have a little chat to.

visa wife is unbanned, so it seems like he got hit with a 1 month ban, but there was no ban message on any posts, probably because he was bitching in tickets again

but he is sulking mode like last time he got banned, hasn't been back online, and then you can expect another week or two of no posting to show his disatisfaction with the jannies lmao

You guys are missing the vegan thread.

I still have no idea why everyone is so bothered by this? Can one of you speak to that point?

Wow why’s everyone crying it’s just like them saying no smoking

*everyone points out that it’s nothing like smoking”

Well I still don’t see why everyone’s crying

You know, that question was asked in good faith. It's pretty shitty of you to show up a day later and skip the following 5 pages of discussion in order to lob a cheap shot.

I think you should evaluate what kind of contribution you're making to the forum with posts like these.

You're always free to not post. If you don't have the time to follow a discussion, this is the option you should choose by default- especially if the alternative is a low effort insult

This seems like one of those counterproductive mindsets. Like people compare and shit on or praise the Iron-man sequels all the time but because Black Panther is made by a bunch of black people that's not allowed now? Feels like othering with good intentions

Black Panther 1 isn’t overrated, unless you divorce it from all surrounding context.

"Black Panther 1 isn’t overrated, unless you only consider the quality of the movie"

Agreed, Black Panther was a good movie but Wakanda Forever is on another level entirely. It improves upon and elevates itself over its successor in nearly every way.

It's the MCU's The Dark Knight.

Black Panther = Batman Begins
Wakanda Forever = The Dark Knight

Let's hope the 3rd Black Panther movie isn't awful like Dark Knight Rises though 💀💀

https://www.resetera.com/threads/black-panther-1-is-severely-overrated-in-other-news-wakanda-forever-is-severely-underrated.736056/#post-108151020

I was disappointed in wakanda forever. I felt the movie wanted Namor to be the main character. So if you like namor then you would like the movie. I felt so damn angry at the film so many wakandan people died and it’s all good with namor at the end? Eff that crap. Shuri was a terrible leader. By the end there was about 25% or less Wakandans that survived on the boat. The rest were killed or drowned. And why didn’t they use the weapon nakia used to kill one of namor’s people ?

This movie was a vehicle for namor. Wakanda looked so weak in this movie. So pathetic. I don’t even want a third movie. What’s stopping namor and his people from invading again? A quarter of wakandans are already dead. And it looks pretty easy for namor to come to wakanda anytime he wants.

I could forgive studio meddling with Ross and his ex-wife, I could forgive adding Iron heart but damn this movie. The movie should have been called wakanda is weak. Angela Bassett was best actor in the film with runner up to M’Baku. I usually buy marvel movies but this one and ant man were just terrible I did not want to buy them even on sale.

Weird how all her personalities have the same values. You'd think at least one of them have some self awareness to be fine with a peanut gallery making fun of their weirdness. Unless its all fake, of course.

this is what gets me, what are the chances that literally everyone in pluralgang all have the same politics and every differentiating aspect of their alters are superficial

imagine if it was truly uncontrollable and one of your other selves was a sassy black woman who compelled you to type in ebonics and you were just stuck with this, sorry everyone, I know it's tremendously offensive but this is the truth I live with daily, Lafawnduh is an inherent part of me created by trauma and it would be wrong of me to try to correct her speaking style
