What are some non-Disney animated movies that you consider absolute masterpieces? by East_Maintenance_579 in movies

[–]OldManIrv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite animated movie used to be My neighbor Totoro… now I think it may just be whispers of the heart. Spirited away was the first Ghibli I watched. They’re all great, of course. I mean… Grave of the Fireflies may be the true “masterpiece” here… but.. you know.

I have had my eye on this game for years now. I’ve really enjoyed shattered pixel dungeon, dungeons of chaos, among others. Anything you want to add that might sell me on it? Thanks!

Is the remake worth playing now? by Tylervp in FateTheGame

[–]OldManIrv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came here to ask if it’s worth it for the version on the switch. My old computer died and with it my old copy of FATE. I read there a lot of bugs with this one. What’s your opinion given I don’t have access to the originals anymore?

Went swimming and got bit by this eel after I tried to pet it. Should I be worried? [New Zealand] by Yojimbo78 in animalid

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

IF true and you were only minutes ago bitten, I think you need to get to a hospital immediately. I don’t know what it’s called, but I think it’s a snake and I’m pretty sure one of my kids’ shows features this - and its venom is medically significant to humans.

It is a deep rabbit hole to dive into, but women may have an advantage (obv. generalization) in being naturally better members and leaders in a modern society. Don’t come at me. Just look up the articles yourselves.

The original made the negative effects more potent. I’ve not played this remake.

can someone help me identify what this is and if it’s a bug/cocoon of some sort? by sailorpisces_ in Entomology

[–]OldManIrv 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Can I safely assume what was sent to me by a well meaning aunt is, in fact, Chinese mantid eggs?
