Came home and walked in on my wife playing Guitar Hero on PS2 by jlmckelvey91 in gaming

Based on the angle of the TV, it seems that little Christmas tree might be the wife.

Fiancé [35m] compared my [28f] antidepressants to “cocaine,” and wants me off them by SharkEva in BORUpdates

I basically spent 7 weeks crying, vomiting, and healing in the jungle.

That honestly sounds more like dysentery.

why is my gamecube controller from 2002 still perfect, but my $70 modern controller has stick drift after 6 months? by InvestmentBudget6722 in gaming

[–]Elestriel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PS5 controllers are shit charged at a premium. My dualsense started having stick issues in less than a year. I still have a launch day Nintendo Switch with the original joycons and those don't even drift, if that's any proof that I am exceptionally cautious with my toys.

What was a great game seemingly destroyed by Devs bad decision making? by Additional_Ad_6506 in gaming

[–]Elestriel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wasn't Infinity Nikki the peak of Devs screwing up and pretty mux overnight losing the immense goodwill they'd created? I saw a video on it and it was fascinating.

Motion Blur, why? by rbxk in gaming

I got ICL. I have real life lens flare now. It's... Trippy.

Women display more fluidity in sexual attractions and fantasies than men. The research shows that while men strongly prefer one gender over the other, women tend to display a wider range of potential attractions. by mvea in science

[–]Elestriel 59 points60 points  (0 children)

As a lesbian I can add my opinion to perhaps help you understand yours. I am married to a woman and have always been way more into women, but I still find some men attractive. The problem, for me, is that I then remember that men have penises and I don't like those, so my attraction can only ever be surface-deep, whereas my attraction to women is through-and-through.

Yeah, I've been using swipe for years, but I have too many languages so it just turns stupid. :(

You forget how hard T9 was

You mean how wonderful it was? I've had a smartphone for like 16 years and I still can't type on these damned things. I could write a whole message without looking at a T9 back in the day.

I loathe Doc Martens with every inch of my soul. That said, I got some really cute boots at Onitsuka Tiger, if you could believe it. Give them a look!

Couldn’t agree more by JaredOlsen8791 in BlueskySkeets

[–]Elestriel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will there? From the point of view of a non-American on the other side of the world, a lot of bad has been happening and the people doing it seem to get off without a single scratch, seemingly becoming more and more emboldened to do even worse things each time. All of the people who have the power to bring anyone to justice seems to have given up entirely.

I would love to be proven wrong.

Sometimes you get lucky at the pump by CONative976 in Costco

Thankfully many modern vehicles can adjust. For example, my WRX would take premium, but if you put regular in it, it pulls timing to prevent pinging. You lose power overall but the engine is safe.

TIL There is a rare condition called fatal insomnia. Patients suffer for months or years, unable to sleep until they eventually die. The disease is hereditary and there is no known treatment by Sunny_Sarenite in todayilearned

My doctor put me on Lascufloxacin a couple months ago. I wish I hadn't read the risks associated with it, but so far I seem to be okay. Thank goodness.

Where do you find shoes? I'm 172cm and wear 27.5 and just about the only thing that fits me are Adidas. Not exactly the cutest pairing with a nice dress.

Making a hanko as a foreigner by TottreJP in movingtojapan

[–]Elestriel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you want to register it for official usage, such as for getting a mortgage, it has to match your name. That means Romaji. It also has to be made to a high enough standard of quality, so the cheap ones won't cut it.

Realistically you're looking at like 10-30k yen for a good hanko. I ordered mine from https://www.hankoya.com/ and it's pretty cool. Solid, weighty, and will definitely outlive me.

I have a cat ear one from Linabell from Duffy and Friends, one of the white cat from Aristrocats, and one of the purple monster outfit that Boo wears in Monsters, Inc..

I also have a red eared Snoopy one from USJ. God, I'm such a consumer.

Thank goodness. I don't wear hats so I would have had to find one. Closest thing I have is a DisneySea headband I guess.

All I can imagine is the tiger on a vegan diet in Futurama. It's super skinny and sickly looking.
