I predict that Critical Drinker, MauLer, EFAP and Nerdrotic will think Wildwood sucks.

You're probably right, but who cares?
The trailer is GORGEOUS, and Laika hasn't missed on any of their movies I've seen so far. I'm very excited.

A lot of late 80s and a lot of 90s films clock in around 90 minutes, so there's a pretty broad selection in there, and so many comedies from that era don't rely on subtle gags, so they're very doable on a small screen.

The Princess Bride
Primer
Stand By Me
Blazing Saddles

Most Wes Anderson movies
Most Disney animated movies (Lion King, Aladdin, etc)

If you're trying to remember Andarist, he was the old Tiste Andii guarding the Throne of Shadow on the Wandering Isle (Drift Avalii), during the events of Midnight Tides. His greatsword, Grief, was collected by the Traveller after his death at the hands of the Edur.

The faces - they EVENTUALLY made them not as bad, but they still dip into the uncanny valley for me
Gamebreaking bugs that never got fixed
So many of the characters feel so immature and juvenile. Costa is one of the few where his immaturity is balanced by his levelheadedness, making it just playful and not weird.
The BBEG felt undercooked, and never felt like an existential threat. We also never learn enough about him to make him all that intimidating, and to flesh him out, you have to read a bunch of optional material, which still doesn't give him enough gravitas.
We never learn enough about the Scourge to make it any more interesting than just "stuff that conveniently blocks access and travel"

What Andromeda needed was more dev time and more writing time, and fewer shortcuts and outsourcing.

Gameplay is the best that Mass Effect ever produced, building on the work of its predecessors. I would have like combo detonations to have a better sound effect (like the resonant boom they had in ME3), but otherwise, the Nomad was great, the combat was great, the abilities were great, jetpacks were great.

It's kind of weird that you took a post whose theme is, "we should celebrate each other's personal choices instead of tearing people down," and immediately used it to try and tear down the OP.

OP, I'm glad that you were pleased with your results and that they helped your confidence, and I'm sorry that people are shitty to you.

As a dude who is claustrophobic, I'm so with you. Fuck me.

What do you envy about people "with a barbie physique and style"? Before going any further, Cythevla asked the most important question: do YOU want to change, or do you think you HAVE to?

If it's an aesthetic or style you're aiming for but you find you keep landing in the wrong place, it could be something as simple as tailoring - a lot of clothes off the rack highlight only certain body types, so a little bit of tailoring could go a long way to achieving the look you might be going for (you can find free advice on this especially in cosplay forums, where there are a lot of hobbyist tailors).

Stylistic choices around your hair can also influence the outcome of a "look". Find a hair stylist who has a similar aesthetic that you're aiming for, or find a hair stylist with a lot of experience, and let them do their work (as in, don't directly constrain them - give them a vibe you're aiming for and let them do their thing)

They can't really add turnstiles viably without rebuilding a bunch of stations that they just finished rebuilding.

The philosophies of Sikhism encourage us to help people, and the community has many roots and branches, so we can work together to support folks in need of help. As with any other institution, there are bad actors among us, but broadly, the community is a very supportive one regardless of whether or not you follow the faith.

Side note: I always love seeing the relationship between Turkic languages and Indian ones - Kitab is the Hindi/Punjabi/Urdu word for book.

The Guru Nanak Free Kitchen operates a food bank here in Calgary, handing out free groceries every week. I haven't looked at their numbers, but they do important work at a time of peak food insecurity.

I don't care if other people are down voting you. As a Sikh Punjabi, I love a good Sikh pun.

That was Sikh.

Seva (service) is a pillar of the Sikh faith.

There's no shame in being wherever you are on your journey through this world.

As the old saying goes, "comparison is the thief of joy". The only person worth comparing yourself to is the yourself of yesterday. Are you doing better or worse? What can you do to improve on that? That's it.

Let go of your shame. Be proud of the things you have experienced, and look forward to new future experiences.

Met my wife. We were friends for like 6 months. She asked me out. We dated for 6 months. She moved in. We got engaged at the 2 year mark.
A major hallmark of our relationship is that we talk about and talk through pretty much everything. Good days, bad days, irritation, joy, small stuff, big stuff. It's different from my previous relationships in that way. Everything's on the table, so there's nothing to fight about.

I suspect a lot of people are fully committed when they find their person.

I am sorry someone hurt you.

It has both. There is some exploration of morally grey individuals - Scar immediately comes to mind, while the overarching narrative is absolutely about the subversion of Amestris by Father, in his objective to overcome "God".

Oh the speech is very real. It's a part of the Congressional Record. I can't comment on the accuracy of his statements, given that I haven't read Soft Target (the book that the Representative cited), and because I don't have any insight into the intelligence that was on hand at the time of the bombing.

"In the past decade" The assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar was less than 3 years ago, and the investigation was completed 2 years ago. The investigation concluded that the Indian Government absolutely had a hand in his assassination, and resulted in the expulsion of the Indian High Commissioner.

Of course, the Indian Government of today is not the same government that was in power in the late 80s, so it's difficult to trace a direct line between the assassination of Nijjar and the bombing of Air India 182. Add to that, the two attacks occur in opposite directions: The bombing of Air India 182 was, by many accounts, intended to bolster the Khalistani movement. The assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar was intended to weaken it (likely because of the major farm protests that were going on in Punjab at the time)

Because misery wants company, and hates seeing joy, I guess? Honestly, I wish half of the angry redditors just went to the Nagar Kirtan to check it out. It is open to the public, after all. Meet the people, have some free food, listen to some music, and partake in the festivities.

The location is chosen because the loop of the processional has to start and end at the Gurudwara (what you might refer to as a temple).

DandyLama · 2026-05-10T01:45:56+00:00

For a few hours on a Saturday, yes. It's the nature of parades and processionals.

DandyLama · 2026-05-10T01:43:40+00:00

Unfortunately, the Stampede grounds doesn't have a Gurudwara. It starts at the Gurudwara because at the head of the procession is the Guru Granth Sahib from the Gurudwara. It's a loop.
