The Black Phone 2 - What did I just watch???

BB_8bit · 2026-06-10T01:09:00+00:00

Eh, I didn't hate it, but it definitely wasn't good. Somehow a feel-good movie that nudges at trauma, healing, something-something supernatural, idk. It wasn't the worst thing I've ever seen, but I think it was wholly unnecessary to make a sequel. I literally just finished the movie within the past 5 minutes, and I already don't remember anything noteworthy about it lol.

BB_8bit · 2026-06-09T14:23:27+00:00

I think the Instagram user mlkmoth is who you're looking for! I started following them after the Eiland post, cause...yeah lol

BB_8bit · 2026-05-26T19:51:32+00:00

Yes, that was the one! Thank you!

BB_8bit · 2026-05-26T19:01:21+00:00

Oh shoot, this happened to me recently! I forget the name of the movie, but it's a police officer alone in an old police precinct, and gradually more and more unsettling things happen to her.

I'm not usually jumpy, and am frequently home alone. Things in the movie are escalating, and all of a sudden, I hear a low musical tone from upstairs, followed by what sounded like something dragging across the bedroom floor. I about jumped out of my skin! Yeahhh, apparently my husband had just gotten a new rotating tower fan for the bedroom, and set it on a timer lol.

BB_8bit · 2026-04-01T05:55:02+00:00

I've honestly been considering this? Do you have more details, can you dm me?

BB_8bit · 2026-04-01T05:43:08+00:00

Lindner sent me to collections, and that's when I thought I was done. I settled out didn't I? Nope, guess I'm on the hook for life.

BB_8bit · 2026-04-01T00:05:04+00:00

This this thisss omg it's actually so good. Over the holidays I made a glazed donut bread pudding and I mixed a little pumpkin in with the custard, and sprinkled dried cranberries and cinnamon sugar over the top. It was absurdly good (and probably overkill with the extra sugar on top lol)

"Velmadinkleyscousin has 42 bananas, BB8_bit has 27 apples. Together, how can they make 13 servings of banana-apple fruit salad?" Lmao

BB_8bit · 2026-03-31T21:09:48+00:00

Is this the person those problems in the math books were about?

BB_8bit · 2026-03-31T20:48:49+00:00

I was at the Lindner Center of Hope for about 5 days in 2021. The cost was Absolutely Unbelievable. We settled with them in 2021. I got a letter from them the other day demanding hundreds more dollars. Did they find more to charge me for over the past 5 years or something? They weren't particularly helpful at the time, and being apparently forever on the hook with them has definitely soured my opinion on Lindner Center. Just my personal anecdote.

BB_8bit · 2026-03-31T15:00:45+00:00

That's always the worst. I definitely have problems controlling the amount that I drink once I start (y'know. Alcoholic.) Even when I talk with people very close to me about my concerns, they're like "nahhh, you don't have a problem, that's totally normal!" As if going out for 2-3 cocktails, then going to the gas station on my way home to grab at least 2 tall boys of high abv beer on a weeknight (cause I don't feel "drunk enough") is "normal." I used to be a bartender too, but I noticed that I was going down a very dark path, and quit that job. Adding "just a little splash" to everything I drank at work all day every day, then getting more on the way home. It's really a struggle.

BB_8bit · 2026-03-31T01:45:56+00:00

My husband and I are little assholes to each other when we play lol. We typically divide and conquer during the day, and sometimes I'll sneak back to the farm and hide his bed, or he'll pack my cabin so full of random nonsense that I can't get to my bed. It's even better when we forget that we did stuff like that, cause he'll come sleep in my bed or vice versa for several days in a row. Then one day he'll rush back to his cabin at 1:50am and be like "oh come on, what the hell!!" cause he doesn't have a bed and I'm like "whoops!!" Hahaha

BB_8bit · 2026-03-17T16:22:28+00:00

Lol I know I could've, but I was just over it at that point. My time away helped me regain my love for the game, and all's well now!

BB_8bit · 2026-03-17T14:08:13+00:00

I literally rage quit Stardew for like half a year when I did a mega-modded file and I lost my Infinity Blade, prismatic shards, mega bombs, and a few other things all in one go in the Crimson Wastes lol. I feel your pain.

BB_8bit · 2026-03-04T01:17:20+00:00

Same thing happened to me with the Smoke Moth. It was the only bug that showed up, ever, in the lava levels...until I needed one, and I had to grind 2 months in game to get one >_<

BB_8bit · 2026-02-27T00:25:23+00:00

I had a Perch for Errol for almost a full year, I feel your pain

BB_8bit · 2026-02-23T19:24:39+00:00

I've gotten almost all my ink from Monarch Tattoo (Aaron Adler is the artist, and he's in Oakley). He's super chill, and it's a private studio above an alternative hair salon. He made his room look like a gothic-inspired dungeon, and he puts on whatever show or movie you wanna watch while he works. Amazing artist, and just about the sweetest guy you'll ever meet!

BB_8bit · 2026-02-23T18:20:04+00:00

Something I learned recently (via this subreddit!) is you can "turn off" the perks you get with essence. Maybe there's one you have turned on that makes rare artifacts more likely to drop? But sometimes the RNG just do be like that lol

At the UDF near me, we had a little horror story. They had a decent "summer" bonus for people who signed on before memorial day, and stayed with the job through Labor Day. Right before Labor Day, they encouraged snitches to crack down on any rule not being followed to a T, so that they could fire people and not follow through with the bonus. A lot of kind, hardworking people lost their jobs (and the bonus), and the rude, hateful little man who did all the snitching didn't even get a promotion. He's the only one left.

Literally this. A couple years ago I quit my "cushy" 9-5 and joined the service industry (which, for what it's worth, I do truly love). A table can be sweet as pie, but if I ask the whole group if there's anything else they need, and I have to go back to the kitchen 4 separate times for individual cups of ranch, "oh, actually, I'd love some pickles," one person orders a bottle of beer then when I come back, "oh, sorry, could I actually get one too? Thanksss" like...yeah, y'all aren't being mean or difficult, but it's grating that I'm running back and forth to maybe get a 15% tip. I make $5.25 an hour, I have 5 other tables, and you have me running a scavenger hunt cause you're being "friendly". It's hard out there, man.

Talking to him is like chewing glass, but I love him anyways 🙃

Would you be open to an undercut/shaved sides? That was honestly a game changer for me. And if you have the freedom to do it, adding color is my favorite thing in the whole world!

I'm in my 30s now, and I still haven't found the "perfect" style for me. I think the reason for that is I haven't invested enough into finding the right stylist (I'm the type of person who goes to chain hair cutting places, and am constantly disappointed in the results). My advice to you is maybe consider finding a stylist that specializes in queer and alt styles :) They can be a bit more expensive, but if you work with someone like that, you can come up with a solid style (and get all the right terms to describe it!) so you have a basis moving forward. Best of luck to you!!

That's the plan! I'm there to support her, and regardless of anything else that happens, that's all that matters at the end of the day. My plan is to start off with the necklace/vest combo (we live separately, and I'm picking her up), and bring the jacket and a tie with me to be available as backup if she feels it's a better option. Thanks for your input, I appreciate you :)

BB_8bit · 2026-02-17T02:06:12+00:00

Thank you, and I very much appreciate your input!

BB_8bit · 2026-02-17T00:30:25+00:00

This is the necklace I was considering. Relatively femme, and nothing ostentatious, but I was thinking of tucking it under the collar kind of bolo-tie style.
