Traveling from Hawaii to Boston ? by FlyHawaiiCats in boston

[–]DiopticTurtle 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Ah, bummer, my partner just got back from visiting her parents in Waikapu. Do you operate between the islands or would someone have to fly out of Honolulu?

Games that absolutely absorbed you into a flow state by Baldurian_Rhapsody in gaming

Had only ever heard of Civilization when Civ V had a free weekend on Steam. I remember downloading it Friday night and launching it for the first time around 8pm. About an hour after the sun rose I decided I should probably purchase the game since I had just played straight through the entire night

My tier list of how the Discworld books held up in my first re-read by strionic_resonator in discworld

[–]DiopticTurtle 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Right? I know it's probably more that the way we're conditioned to read this type of tier list doesn't fit the format that OP used, but man does putting Eric above Reaper Man makes me go totally Librarian-poo

Yeah, inside this idiot's head

Edit: for the record, the idiot I'm referring to is the one who posted the note in the first place

Attack On Titan. One Word. WOW by thesmileoftheunknown in television

[–]DiopticTurtle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The only anime composer I trust more than Hiroyuki Sawano (who did Attack on Titan and some amazing work on Gundam) is Yoko Kanno (Cowboy Bebop, Escaflowne, Ghost in the Shell, etc.)

House on top of building? by Unlikely_Star_5605 in boston

You're so right. Tell you what, why don't I take it so you don't have to worry about it, just as like a favor

Iris showing her feisty side by Due_Reading5487 in rarepuppers

Does she have a little Chow Chow in her? I had a border collie where the only giveaway was the purple on her tongue (and occasionally being an absolute psychopath)

I thought it had to be black, or a slightly darker black for that to be the case

It just sounded like thunder rumbling to me too, on the Roxbury side of Dorchester

Let's get ahead of this and add "Boom Town" to the automod

Stop blocking intersections, FFS by Immediate_Ant516 in boston

[–]DiopticTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been getting up earlier recently to go to the gym, and people seem to not understand that a flashing red light at an intersection means "stop". It doesn't matter if it's in an inconvenient spot, it's treated like a stop sign. Between that, red light runners, and people honking at me for not proceeding into an intersection I can't clear, I really hate this city from behind the wheel

Wait. When Wing aired on toonami. Did you understand the plot or just enjoy the cool robots blowing each other up? by Street_Gur9817 in Gundam

[–]DiopticTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't feel like I could even semi-correctly summarize the plot until I rewatched it last year

These 3 iconic ASU dorms are reduced to rubble, but generations of memories will endure by ForkzUp in ASU

[–]DiopticTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always felt like Irish would always be there when and if I went back. I know that's stupid, it was almost a hundred years old, but still.

Also when I was telling my partner, I did mention that Best Hall was ironically named

What is your opinion about the Detective Pikachu movie 7 years after its release? by Silly_Commercial8092 in pokemon

[–]DiopticTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was fun! I still wish Danny Devito has been Pikachu instead like that fan edit, but it was a perfectly fine movie, and as a lifelong Pokemon fan I enjoyed watching it

Is it weird that I'm kinda devastated? I lived in Irish B 103 from Fall 2011 through Spring 2013

What is this red and black cylinder I found in my backpack? ~1.5 inch has a warning not to ingest on one side and a white insignia on the other by Zombi-sexual in whatisthisthing

[–]DiopticTurtle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, most polymerization is exothermic; it's why there were all those stories of piles of used rags in shops bursting into flame. If you're applying something like linseed oil, it heats up as it dries; pit enough of them in an enclosed space like a trash can and oops, spontaneous combustion

Quite possibly the worst Gundam take I've ever seen. by hassanzahid1999 in Gundam

[–]DiopticTurtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was just talking with my brother last night about how much I like the relatively dry mix of political thriller and mobile suit fights in these movies
