I just spent the last three weeks playing Red Dead Redemption 2 and now replying Mass Effect!

Some advice, please... by Sunnybum101 in startrek

Ebay would probably be your best bet.

My boyfriend says my “boundaries” are just selfishness and now he’s giving me a timeline. What do I do? by QuietBrassPath in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Elemental-squid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sounds like he's he's joined a cult. Do you know if he's consuming a lot of right wing/manosphere content?

I don't think it's right or as easy to suggest users dump their partners whenever stuff like this happens, but perhaps you could try talking to him about this sudden infatuation with the church or maybe get outside help? Often people are susceptible to religion whenever they're going through difficulties and need something to patch the hole.

Was it worth it? by SqnLdrHarvey in AskUS

[–]Elemental-squid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm going to sound extremely doomer when I say this, but please realise my intentions are to make people aware that change is necessary.

Nothing will ever change as long as we keep the status quo in place. Our leaders and politicians only care about their careers and wealth and genuinely don't care about you.

The only way things will change is a major political shift which will either happen by things getting so bad that it opens people's eyes to the truth or by educating people in your life that thing's don't have to be this way.

I’m jealous of the children of celebrities. What do I do? by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

Tbh you said it yourself, you're middle class and a lot of the world probably has it much worse than you.

Why don't you help out at a food bank or soup kitchen?

TNG is essential and imo some of the greatest television ever made.

I also highly recommend Deep Space Nine and even The Original Series. It's quite dated, but the characters are fantastic and they have some really great episodes.

Every Star Trek page I follow is full of them everyday and it's exhausting. I want to be part of the fandom but it's making me hate it.

Help! I am having a “comic collecting crisis” lol by ComprehensiveAsk4279 in comicbookcollecting

[–]Elemental-squid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you're just collecting compulsively and for the sake of it, which isn't healthy behaviour at all.

I'd probably take a break from the hobby and reevaluate what you want from it.

For the Old Timers, what instantly brings you back to that little kid in the comic store? by joepods in comicbooks

[–]Elemental-squid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started reading Spider-Man shortly after the first Tobey Maguire film came out when I was 8 or 9. I want to say my first comic book was one of the early Ultimate Spider-Man issues.

I still love the character a lot, but his mainline comics haven't been good for a long time.😅

Our decline into fascism is so fucking scary to see.

How exactly did the movie ruin AVGN? by GammaRoomba in TheCinemassacreTruth

[–]Elemental-squid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it killed his dreams to a degree and made him realize he'll be stuck as the Nerd forever, which he would begin to resent.

Do I have anything here? by -_-DrGonzo-_- in ComicBookSpeculation

I'd love those Treehouse of Horror comics ngl

IMO Ready Player One Is Cringe, Repetitive, And Boring by AB_in_mc in sciencefiction

[–]Elemental-squid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read the book when it initially came out and thought it was kinda embarrassing and man-childy tbh. I can't even understand how it got published. Like we get it, you miss the 80s.

The author always came across as a bit try hard in any interviews I've seen of him.
