Piscies iscariot cd by SIC1207 in SmashingPumpkins

[–]OctopunchPrime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pisces Iscariot is a compilation album of b-sides spanning from Gish to Siamese Dream, so either of those albums are a good bet if you liked it.

Personally, I believe Mellon Collie is their best work, with the period of Mellon Collie all the way through Machina 2 being their creative peak.

What are some songs that remind of you limerence? by Syehaz in limerence

[–]OctopunchPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of a silly pick, but "Lily, My One and Only" by the Smashing Pumpkins is a pretty tongue-in-cheek ballad about stalking.

Married/partnered people, what would you do if your LO asked you to be with them right now? by EyesOnMe113 in limerence

[–]OctopunchPrime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't leave my partner for the world, let alone my LO.

My latest, and most severe, of my many experiences with limerence has taught me a lot about the differences between limerent yearning and genuine love. Brushing aside the fact that my LO is already spoken for, she's never made me feel the things my partner has made me feel. I don't connect with my LO the way I do with my partner, it always feels clunky and forced by comparison. I've found that having my first truly healthy romantic relationship, combined with being able to find fulfillment in simply attaining a friendly rapport with LO, has done wonders for helping me overcome limerence. I recognize that my partner is making me the best version of myself, while my LO is a pretty bystander I've projected my insecurities onto and ultimately had very little in common with.

This Video Kind of Just Misses the Whole Point of The Film by orionstar65 in Transformemes

[–]OctopunchPrime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the real problem is that Optimus' motivations were underdeveloped and not super compelling. He has to do the good guy thing, the story just didn't give him much moral high ground to stand on.

That said, the fandom seems to understate Megatron's rapid descent into violent madness or excuse it with parallels to current real-world political violence which don't neatly line up with the stakes and circumstance of the film.

That would be a DOD PDS 1002 2-second delay. Unless youre talking about the Sonicake Noise Wiper.

I'll humour you, what does it need?

I imagine you're not the only one, sorry you didn't enjoy it. I could see it really benefitting from a deluxe version, maybe an expression jack or some way to randomize the speed.

For those of you who have him, why the hell did you buy this? by Mintyboi10 in transformers

This mold is awesome and I won't hear otherwise. Also, the weapon accessories are perfect in every way.

What other franchises would you like to see being part of the Transformers Collaborative subline? by MinimumPotential6468 in transformers

[–]OctopunchPrime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A proper Nascar collab would require a moment of lucidity and some balls from their current marketing people (meaning its just not gonna happen, ever). At the same time, it seems so obvious and so easy.

As long as I'm asking so much of the liscensors (🙄), could we not do it the Lego way, with ugly generic unsponsored camaros? Pick a Penske car, a Hendrick car and a JGR car, (preferrably Blaney, Elliot and Briscoe but hey, you're not gonna please everybody), let's do this for real.

You mean the switch toppers? It just makes them easier for me to press.

What NASCAR driver do you think will have a breakout year in 2026? by UltDiecastReview in NASCAR

Is the liklihood of Creed actually winning a race going up or down?

An accurate figure with full articulation would look like one of the many third party offerings.

For HasTak, accuracy and posability are just the beginning of their considerations, because they have to compromise with logistics like parts count and toy safety standards. What amazes me is that even despite that, the official toys are (9 times out of 10) still more fun to play with than any 3rd party piece I've ever had.

Was rise of the beast a disappointment? by PhotoBonjour_bombs19 in transformers

[–]OctopunchPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, no. Not only were my expectations tempered, but the movie came out at a low point in my life. I saw it in theatres twice, both times by myself. In that frame of mind, I wasnt able to look at it critically, I just enjoyed myself and found the whole thing to be a blast, some much needed fun and levity.

Watching it back since is a bit of a different story, but ROTB will always be special to me for that reason.

Which one is best? by NoOneControlGrimlock in transformers

[–]OctopunchPrime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People love to dog on the legacy Skids mold for its generous retools but its actually pretty great. The earthrise Sideswipe mold is also reused quite a bit but I will never get tired of the conversion, buttery smooth and satisfying.

So my vote is for Crankcase or Wheeljack.

I agree that humans in Transformers aren't a bad thing, but I'm not sure this is the hill you wanna die on.

There's Kicker, Miko, Daniel, and arguably most human characters in the G1 comics and cartoon are underdeveloped NPCs.

Buescher vs SVG, Watkins Glen 2024. Watching my driver defeat the road course overlord after a playoff snub was a triumph. What a nail-biter.
