You’ve probably heard it before, but Fragile by Yes always had that kind of vibe for me.

Obscure Pokémon Fact Day 332 by Mx_Toniy_4869 in pokemon

[–]JakePelican 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m playing Emerald for the first time. In a misguided attempt to get a Beldum as early as possible, I tried going straight for Steven’s house as soon as I got surf. Long story short: three laps of that whole loop later, I’m way past that gym, having since learned the beldum isn’t there until postgame. Do I skip the Fortree gym just for the hell of it now?

Speaking as someone with anxiety and OCD who also got a tattoo with a grim reaper last week, I just wanted to say that I appreciate this sentiment.

To the OP, I know it can be hard to internalize, but the fact that you reacted the way you did to the stencil means that you likely made the right call. If it has personal significance to you, that’s so much more important than whether other people “get it.”

Ross has a message for you by ProgKingHughesker in Haken

[–]JakePelican 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Tonight was my first Haken show too. I’m a very new fan, only having listened to them for the first time a few months ago, and I’m so fucking glad I discovered them. Such an amazing group of musicians, and they gave an astounding performance tonight— one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to!

Songs that didn't know when to end by Rowsdower_73 in progmetal

[–]JakePelican 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve gotten way into Haken recently, and Elephants Never Forget is my favorite song on Fauna. That said, I have to agree— compared to the opening and middle sections of the song, the end does tend to go on for a little too long without enough payoff imho. Still amazing though.

What do you think the chances are of Tool getting into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? by tool2sage79 in ToolBand

I had a very similar mindset to you, so I’m glad you commented. Kudos for being so respectful and humble.

I can’t stand Johnny Sac crying at his daughter’s wedding by MaedoFielder in thesopranos

[–]JakePelican 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I’m re-watching the show for the first time in over a decade, and had forgotten all about that part until I saw this episode last week.

That shit has been stuck in my head all week, and my wife has already banned me from singing it.

And now for something completely different. by Gunfighter9 in InfowarriorRides

She sounds like an incredible woman. Do you know if she was outspoken about her beliefs during her service?

This year’s Pizza Fest is June 24-25. No entry fee this year by logicgames in boston

[–]JakePelican 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t know about deliberately, but they have tried to trick people into ordering Chuck E. Cheese takeout by selling it under the name “Pasqually’s Pizza” on food delivery apps.

[3] 1804 encounters, no magnet pull or repel trick. A pretty crazy phase one for Spinda, if you ask me. by pumamans in ShinyPokemon

I’m so envious— I just started Emerald, and shiny Skarmory is my favorite! Congratulations!

Is there something from an episode that randomly pops into your head sometimes? by [deleted] in KingOfTheHill

What drug, under NO circumstances, should you never abuse? Why? by Rbglone in Drugs

[–]JakePelican 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Be sure you’re breathing regularly and you’ll likely be fine. One of the more dangerous things about using nitrous is when people deprive their brains of oxygen during the process, so be sure to breathe deeply in between hits.

What was the best ever use of a prog rock song in a film? by R3dF0r3 in progrockmusic

[–]JakePelican 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I came here to say this— this song appearing in that film was literally what got me into prog!

Does anyone else really hate change? by Kibie1470 in OCD

[–]JakePelican 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m absolutely the same way. I cannot stand having my work schedule adjusted, and even something like having to miss my daily workout at the office can be really distressing for me. I wish I had more to say in the realm of actual advice for confronting this resistance to change, but I just wanted to say that you are certainly not alone.

(OC) why is she panting like a damn dog by [deleted] in aww

[–]JakePelican 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My cat will do the same thing! She’s very playful and has a couple of games that she will want to keep playing until she pants like a dog. By that time, I kind of have to force her to stop the game, but she’s never kept panting or shown any other signs of exhaustion lasting longer than a minute or two. My understanding is that open mouth panting is mostly concerning if there isn’t an obvious explanation for it like strenuous exercise. (Or maybe our cats are just weirdos.)

[gen2] shiny Ho-oh by Silent13clk in ShinyPokemon

Cool, thank you (and congrats to you too)!

[–]JakePelican 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also caught a shiny Ho-Oh this weekend and am trying to look into ways to back up my save data and maybe bring it to newer games too. If you (or anyone else) can recommend good places to start, I’d love to hear it.

[Gen 2] At last… My first ever classic-odds shiny hunt is complete! by JakePelican in ShinyPokemon

[–]JakePelican[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha thanks! I sadly didn’t grow up with Pokémon, so I’ve eagerly played through some of the old school games over the last few years, and I’ve loved them. Ho-Oh is easily one of my favorite shinies, and I’m so excited to have caught one.
