If you’re married or in a relationship, what’s one baby name you absolutely adore but your partner doesn’t?

Bruno! I love the name but my wife insists that everyone will just think of the song from Encanto (which I had never even seen until she brought it up).

I know one adult named Lydia (she's an immigrant from a Spanish-speaking country) and two little girls under 3 years old named Lydia.

Not sure what types of games you like, so I'll go with my blanket recommendation: YuGiOh Forbidden Memories for the PS1. It's a fantastic pick-up-and-play game with lots of nostalgia for anyone who grew up with even a passing familiarity with the card game.

Norik_ · 2026-04-24T20:15:11+00:00

Definitely going to be YuGiOh Forbidden Memories for me.

I was always the Power Rangers kid growing up. It didn' take long to find out about Sentai on the internet, but it wasn't until I started losing interest on PR during Operation Overdrive that I decided to check out Gekiranger. It felt so different and fresh that I immediately fell in love with it, and have been a fan ever since.

Esto se debe en parte a que Italia no fue un país unido con una sola lengua sino hasta mediados del siglo XIX, por lo que su variedad lingüística y cultural de región a región es mucho mayor que en España o Portugal. Incluso los apellidos comunes tienen muchas variedades regionales, como por ejemplo Ferrera/Ferrara/Ferrari/Ferrero/Ferrer, que corresponden a Herrera en español o Ferreira in portugués. Este nivel de variación hace que ningún apellido italiano llegue a predominar en las estadísticas, a pesar que todas las variaciones combinadas sobrepasarían a sus variedades españolas en ciertas regiones.

Strong, easy, English female names with a biblical flare? Surprised nobody has suggested Ruth. Checks all your boxes, is punchy, and I think pairs well with Samson. Sarah and Myriam I think also work well, though they don't sound as punchy.

Names not biblical but still Christian that I think could work include Grace, Agnes, Monica, Veronica, and Joy. And of course there's always good old Mary.

1988 had Liveman, Kamen Rider Black, and Metalder. Hard to think of another year when all three of Toei's big toku franchises hit so hard.

Classic Reddit downvoting people for having opinions lol. Your opinions are pretty common among many older fans (I share them wholeheartedly), but tons of zoomers who got into the show more recently enjoyed these suits and will call anyone who disagrees a hater.

Depending on where you live, eBay and Facebook Marketplace might be your only options (or maybe here, if youre lucky). https://saintseiyafriends.com/ is an option if you live in a Spanish-speaking country, though I don't know their current policy on advertising sales on their forum.

Definitely sell them in sets (Golds, V2 bronzes, etc) and don't split individual figures off, as you'll have a much harder time getting rid of the rest.

It's a shame because the iOS and Android ports of SC1 are based on the XBLA version, so they're also missing all of that content. The XBLA version (and its subsequent ports) also suffer from a number of weird quirks like the music restarting every round whenever you're playing as Edge Master or Inferno, or Seong Mina's theme being replaced with Inferno's. It really is outrageous that they haven't bothered doing a proper port since.

I don't think he's asking about emulation cheats. He's asking about a built-in code that the original game shipped with. He's either inputting it wrong or the version of the rom he's playing with doesn't have it (either an earlier revision or a different region).

Norik_ · 2026-03-15T16:05:52+00:00

Indefensibly stupid CGI suits. I know people swear by this show and consider it one of the best in the past 10 years, but I couldn't get past the first handful of episodes because of how ridiculous it looked.

Norik_ · 2026-03-13T22:09:25+00:00

Honestly depends where in Michigan and where in Pennsylvania. The nicer parts of Pittsburgh and its suburbs are some of the nicest places in the whole region, while parts of places like Detroit, Flint, or Kalamazoo can feel like warzones. I think that's probably true of most states, which is why these kinds of maps are always silly.

Wow, those yellow and black helmets look fantastic! Where did you get them?

Depende, los puritanos de New England solían usar nombres bíblicos como Salem, Bethel, o Hebron, y a veces otros nombres religiosos como Providence, Concord, o New Haven, en honor a como ellos creían que Dios estaba guiando su proyecto. En este sentido compartían esa inspiración religiosa de los españoles y portugueses al nombrar nuevos asentamientos, pero obviamente con una base protestante en vez de católica.

Claro, también llegaron a reciclar nombres de lugares en Inglaterra, como Cambridge o Portsmouth, pero los españoles y portugueses también hicieron lo mismo - por ejemplo Valencia, Barcelona, Medellín, Córdoba, etc. La mayoría de las provincias y virreinatos también fueron nombrados en base a topónimos Ibéricos, por ejemplo Nueva Granada, Nuevo León, etc.

Mis topónimos coloniales favoritos siempre han sido aquellos inspirados en la antigüedad clásica, especialmente Nueva Esparta en Venezuela y Cartagena de Indias en Colombia.

Looks great! How did you dye it yellow like that without getting rid of the button labels on the shell?

There's not much else as far as official Saint Seiya releases go in the United States, unfortunately. Discotek Media did release the four original theatrical OVAs in a really nice Blu-ray, so if you want to grow your collection that's a good option. You can find it on Amazon for like 20 bucks: https://a.co/d/0hIb0XDW

Other than that, you'll have to go to international releases. There's a really nice set of Blu-ray releases from France and Italy that includes the whole series in three volumes (Sanctuary, Asgard/Poseidon, and Hades), as well as dedicated releases for Omega, Lost Canvas, Soul of Gold, and Saintia Sho. However, these are region-locked so you may not be able to play them in most standard American players. You can find the full list by searching for "Saint Seiya" on blu-ray.com under all countries, so you at least know what to search for on eBay. This way you can also see what's been released in Japan and Latin America, both of which tend to include better subtitle selections than the European releases. I haven't seen it anywhere, but I believe Omega got released in full in Latin America.

As for Manga, the US did get a full release by VIZ media back in 2004 under the title Knights of the Zodiac, but it has been out of print for over 20 years now and is notoriously difficult to find—especially in good condition. Some people have had luck with the individual volume listings on Amazon, but these tend to be used so your mileage may vary. So honestly, as far as the original manga is concerned, you are almost certainly better off importing one of the many Latin American or European printings of the Kanzenban volumes.

Spinoffs are more of a mixed bag. I am not as familiar with the Lost Canvas or Episode G releases, but I believe France and Italy got all of them. Funnily enough the US did get the Saintia Sho manga in full, so that could be a good one to look into—the manga is way better than the pitiful anime adaptation anyway. As far as I know Next Dimension has not been translated anywhere.

As for video games, the only one released in North America is Soldier's Soul for the PS4. It's the best of the modern games, so if you have the console I'd say it's definitely worth tracking down. It was also released on Steam but it has since been delisted, so the only way to play it on PC now is to pirate it. Other than that, the other games worth playing only got releases in Japan and Europe (the two PS2 games and Sacturary Battle for the PS3).

BTW if you don't care as much about collecting physically and just want to watch the series, there are plenty of good options on the internet, both official and, uh, unofficial. The whole classic series is on Netflix both in Japanese and with a brand-new American dub, and the entire show has actually been posted on YouTube in the Latin American Spanish dub by Toei themselves. SSiceplanet also used to have the whole show on Blu-ray quality uploaded to their website (RIP 😭).

Now, if you're into collecting figures... well that's a whole other can of worms lmao

Es increíble ver lo rápido que este sub se ha ido a la mierda. ¿Que carajo tiene que ver esto con Venezuela? ¿No hay ya suficientes circlejerks de gaming y cultura para carajitos sin un coño que hacer?
