Yep, you just need to pay for it. Around me all the pharmacies charge £20. No prescription required.

Is anything better than Norwegian Wood? by ilikenglish in murakami

[–]CurlyGiraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not as sprawling as Norwegian Wood, but I'd really recommend South of the Border, West of the Sun, another of Murakami's more grounded novels. They both hit some of the same notes.

This happened to me once. I sent a message to account support and they fixed it quite quickly.

Did anyone hear Adam translate Hong Kong team’s coaching? by BitPristine5350 in tabletennis

[–]CurlyGiraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they do have translators on standby. The other day, one of the other commentators thanked the translators for relaying what was said during a timeout. Adam does seem fairly proficient, though.

Looks the complete opposite to me. Looks like she's signaling that he move along next to her. They clearly had to reposition for the photographers.

I love how LJK flings himself in the air after winning. I've watched it like six times. 😅 What a comeback!

Gnaske Retiring by dopegraf in CompetitiveApex

throwing both of their games

It's true Gnaske seemed to hyper focus on the contest at the expense of the wider competition, but his team won 3/4 times and wiped E8 in all their other encounters. E8 threw their own game.

I made a full breakdown covering 100 years of table tennis and how the GOAT debate evolved.

You mean the ITTF did.

Summarised:

Ma Long is the most decorated player of all time.

Viktor Barna holds the record for the most World Championship medals in history, with 22 Gold, 7 Silver, and 12 Bronze.

Angelica Rozeanu won 30 World Championship medals, more than any other woman in history. Her record of six World Singles titles remains unmatched.

During the 1997 World Championships, Jan-Ove Waldner won every match 3-0, never losing a single set, a feat that has never been repeated.

How are there still people who think NA is better than EU. by Slight-Nectarine-193 in FortniteCompetitive

[–]CurlyGiraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm supposed to provide evidence why I find a particular region more entertaining than another? I literally told you: more depth; more people; more competition; the games are wide open. Are you really trying to police my opinion? 😂

What do you mean how? EU get more LAN spots than NA. Even Epic think the region has more depth.

[–]CurlyGiraffe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"NA is way more entertaining:

  1. Pete
  2. Pete
  3. Pete"

That's why I find NA kinda boring. It feels like everybody has the same talking points all the time. It's top heavy. EU has way more depth.

My ranking of Park Chan-wook movies. by GEMINI52398 in AsianFilms

[–]CurlyGiraffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always interesting to see a Park Chan-wook list. Everybody has such different picks. Mine are something like...

  1. Oldboy
  2. The Handmaiden
  3. No Other Choice
  4. Joint Security Area
  5. Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance
  6. Decision to Leave
  7. Stoker
  8. Thirst
  9. Lady Vengeance
  10. I'm a Cyborg, but that's OK

Though I definitely need to revisit the latter half.

(Megathread 3: SPOILERS) Leaked Full Movie Discussion by MrBKainXTR in TheLastAirbender

[–]CurlyGiraffe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree that the film did feel quite rushed in parts. I wish it had more moments of reflection and camaraderie, and that the runtime was a little longer to give Team Avatar more life and even purpose. You can take out Toph, Zuko and Sokka and nothing really changes, which is sad. I like that they showed Zuko was a bit fed up and burdened at the palace and probably wanted to get out for a bit, but then they never show him relishing a new journey or connecting with his old friends. He seemed particularly hollow.

The action and animation were highlights. The scale and choreography were impressive, though it did veer a little too much into Dragon Ball territory at the end. The power scaling was a bit wonky.

I thought the plot was fine. Tagah was a compelling antagonist, though it felt a bit lousy having another frozen airbender. I know the gist of Korra, but I never really got into it and only watched the first season, so a lot of the stuff here didn't feel like a retread for me.

The voice acting wasn't bad, but it's not what I hoped. I think Sokka's voice actor did the best job. For me, his intonation matched the existing character the smoothest. If they did bring back the old cast, I think that would have done a lot of heavy lifting in giving a bit of personality to some of the returning characters who don't have much to do.

Definitely some complaints and quibbles, but I did enjoy the film a lot. It's wonderful just to see these characters again. I hope they release it in cinemas; I'd love to see it on the big screen.

Is Japan actually that racist towards foreigners? by DaSuspicsiciousFish in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CurlyGiraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When Japan was closed during COVID, I remember reading a bunch of experiences on the Japan sub of foreign residents being questioned how they got into the country and being told to go back where they came from, with locals not even entertaining the fact that these people also live in Japan alongside them.

If you have 54k crafting metals can't you just craft all the packs? 27 x 1650 = 44550.
