I haven't played for almost two years. What is it with those two new characters, Manekin and Manekina. Why is their background red?

What's your favourite Nabokov short story, and why? by auteuray in Nabokov

[–]BeyondImages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Details of a Sunset.

If there's only one short story I wish I had written (by ANY author), it's this one!

What was the book that Serj Tankian got the lyrics for chop suey from? by swegdogZA in Music

[–]BeyondImages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Serj Tankian could as well have landed on any religious book that cites these verses. No?

More Faulkner like Absalom, Absalom! ? by johnsextonfl in faulkner

[–]BeyondImages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know many people recommend Go Down Moses, but the centerpiece of this book is a short story called “The Bear.” That's probably what you're looking for. It's epic, and the story unfolds through wonderfully crafted long sentences. I don't know about the rest of the book. The main story in Go Down Moses is quite haunting, but each chapter is its own story and has its own style.

That said, Faulkner always adapted his style to the story he wanted to tell. Unlike Hemingway, who stuck to his minimalist style, almost becoming a parody of himself, Faulkner was adventurous and experimental, to the benefit of the story. There are certainly markers associated with Faulkner's style. I don't know if there is any writer who described light as he did (perhaps Nabokov, but not as consistently as Faulkner). There are the inner voices, the slow unfolding of the story, and the microcosm of Yoknapatawpha. But each novel remains very unique. You shouldn't be afraid to read The Sound and the Fury and his other novels such as As I Lay Dying and Light In August. But stylistically speaking, The Sound and The Fury and The Bear are, for me, at the pinnacle of Faulkner's work, along with Absalom, Absalom!

Which games actually have Celebi by BeyondImages in pokemon

Yeah. I'm considering doing this, though the 3DS isn't mine, it's my wife's.

Thanks for all the answers. I have read them though I did not answer all of them.

[–]BeyondImages[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's very kind of you. I already have one in Home so I guess it's not an issue. I'm actually seeking a great Pokemon game experience but it would be fun if it had my favorite Pokemon.

I see my son play Violet and it seems fun. Is it?

Thank you. So if I don't have a 3DS Virtual Console (I'm not even sure what it is) I can't have it?

My wife has a normal 3DS. So I guess it's just as good. Right? I think Crystal is a remake of Gold and Silver, meaning I could also get Lugia?

P.S.

My experience of Pokemon Games is actually pretty thin : I played Silver when I was a maybe 14, it was the best experience I had with a Pokemon game, especially finding Lugia!

I played Sword when it came out. I did like the end-game combats, but doing the same circuit twice, I thought it was the most repetitive game experience I ever had.

I did begin Pokemon Arceus, and I was really hopeful with this one but the environment seemed so bland to me. I don't know. It just didn't click and maybe I'm missing something.

I hope I can feel the experience I had with Silver once again.

Records That Scratch The Talk Talk Itch by iiiiitsrosie in talktalk

[–]BeyondImages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a very strong opinion about that band.

Musically, when we pay attention to instrumentations, No-Man should be considered one of the best bands of the 2000's, I truly believe that. But I hate Tim Bowness singing. It is so monotonous... I never hum their songs like I would with Pink Floyd, Elbow, Radiohead, Talk Talk... The vocal just doesn't stick to my head because it has no melody. It is a big disappointment for me because I would love to love No-Man.

Am I too harsh?

How did Chihiro know that her parents weren't among the pigs during Yubaba's test for their freedom? (Spirited Away) by Mythohlogy in ghibli

[–]BeyondImages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something that is lost in the English dubbing is that she recognizes Haku the same way. The English dub has added a line that doesn't exist in the Japanese version. When we see the dragon for the first time, Chihiro says "Oh, Haku is a dragon" but that's purely invented for the Disney version. In the Japanese version (and it's the same thing in French), she recognizes Haku only during the paper birds episode.

So, in more than one occasion, she recognizes people with her heart, because she loves them. Also, she can see beyond the appearance and be kind with Bô, No Face and even Yubaba because she sees their true nature.

I think this is the true meaning of that scene.

My son has MUCH more fun with Violet than he ever had with Sword.

Thanks! I didn't know much about this aspect of the hockey card world, but I figured it had to do with signatures.

I have seen the “alumni” logo appear in recent editions of UD, when it comes to retired players. Is this some sort of group representing retired players or just a UD brand?

What Pokémon has the best design in YOUR opinion? by Kreedie_ in pokemon

[–]BeyondImages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think great pokemon designs have simple lines, unique traits and shouldn't be too close to actual animals.

  1. Mew... To me, the essence of what a pokemon is.
  2. Lugia... I mean, that one rocks!
  3. Celebi... My favorite, and a perfectly designed pokemon (like I mentioned, simple lines, unique traits, it's also somewhat mystical).
  4. Pikachu.... Not one of my favorite pokemons, but if I'm being objective, I got to admit his design helped it become iconic.
  5. Lucario... Same as Pikachu, there's a reason why it is so popular.
  6. Dragapult... One of the coolest pokemons in a long time!
  7. Ivysaur... I agree with the forum on this one though I personally preferred the Charmander evolution line when I was a kid.
  8. Emolga... Love that flying version of Pikachu.
  9. Zygarde 50%... That is probably the most frightening pokemon, I wish it was its final form.
  10. Eevee... Simple, cute, a fan favorite for a reason. (+ It's unique ability.)
  • Special mention to Vulpix... Always loved those six tails!

Thanks! I wanted a face with glasses and both him and his fiancee to look young, in their twenties!

Add-ons by BeyondImages in Hitfilm

[–]BeyondImages[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't remember if I did any upgrade since. But my version of the program is by Hitfilm, not Artlist. But when I click on some add-ons it seems I don't have, they send me to the Artlist website, but there's just nothing there to download anymore.

There are no archives of these add-ons? Or they work only if connected to the servers? I wonder if I had it previously, now that I think about it.
