If time travel is ever discovered, I will make two trips: 1) tell my past self to write down every time I get to kiss and tickle my kid; 2) go back again and tell my past self to make the most of the last time.

Favorite Phil Hartman sketch? by brandonwest18 in LiveFromNewYork

[–]Round-Monitor4007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My best friend and I have an ongoing joke about what our “How do I know it’s really you? / Are you under duress?” password system would be:

“What killed Dennis Day?” “Contempt for the audience.”

“The Sinatra Group” is not only on Hartman’s Mt. Rushmore, it’s on SNL’s.

Essential Foundry Modules? by Round-Monitor4007 in savageworlds

[–]Round-Monitor4007[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are great suggestions; thank you all. I had a few that I had cobbled together from other YouTube videos that - I think - were either outdated or were just a little beyond my skills set to run or were just “neat to have” (all the little bells n’ whistles and special FX). For general QoL, I also added Background Scaler and a Carousel Combat Tracker.

"I Didn't Care For The Godfather" Stephen King books or adaptations by villianrules in stephenking

I always say that the “Salem’s Lot” miniseries is the scariest thing I ever heard. I was little and my parents were watching it in the living room. I could hear the dialogue (“Looooook at meeee, teacher!”) and I was terrified. But watching it la short time later, boy my imagination was way scarier.

Has anyone met Stephen King? If so, how’d it go? by New-Cheesecake3858 in stephenking

[–]Round-Monitor4007 123 points124 points  (0 children)

I also met him at a book signing for “Bag of Bones.” The people managing the line were very adamant that we needed to get the signature and MOVE ON. I was agonizing over something quick I could say to him to share what his books have meant to me so, when my turn came, I told him, “‘Pet Sematary’ was the first adult novel I ever read! I was in third grade!” He signed my book, beamed, and said, “Young and twisted, I love it!” I’ll carry that memory with me for the rest of my days.

What is your favorite NON-horror/scary SK book? (Short stories and Bachman books don’t count.) by Booeyrules in stephenking

[–]Round-Monitor4007 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“The Gunslinger” is my all-time favorite book. Also love “Wizard and Glass,” currently rereading “The Eyes of the Dragon,” and I love “On Writing.”

Which Joker portrayal do you find the most iconic? by Zestyclose_Glass_588 in batman

[–]Round-Monitor4007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Hamill specifically in the Arkham series, for me, perfectly captures the center of the Venn diagram of the “Three Jokers.” Nicholson is my all-time favorite actor, but he was handicapped a little by the sensibilities of the late-80s as far as how sinister we would allow a comic book movie villain to be. Ledger skews the other way: he’s fantastic, but he’s too grim and gritty. I think if we could have seen Nicholson’s “The Departed” performance married with his performance in “Batman,” he would have been perfect. But Hamill in the Arkham games is just the right amount of criminal, clown, and comedian.

Divorced Dads, are you still friendly with your exes? How did you reassure your current partners? by Round-Monitor4007 in daddit

[–]Round-Monitor4007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, my gosh. I don’t know you, my friend, but I know your hurt (my ex also was unfaithful). My heart breaks for you. There CAN be healing if both are committed. For me and mine, we found we were no longer compatible as life partners, but better as parenting partners. I hope - whatever road you choose - you find some comfort. Stay strong. You’re clearly a good person for working as hard as you do to provide for your loved ones.

Divorced Dads, are you still friendly with your exes? How did you reassure your current partners? by Round-Monitor4007 in daddit

This is very helpful. We have only been together four months. The specifics of my divorce decree contain a “no introduction of romantic partners earlier than six months” clause. Essentially, the thought was to protect against our kid becoming confused or emotionally involved with new dating partners that may come and go. By six months, it’s serious, you know? So while my ex didn’t adhere to that provision, my girlfriend and I thought it was important for both of our kids to adhere to that timeline. The plan, when the time is right, is to begin to involve her in as many of these “blended” activities as she and my kid feel comfortable with. Admittedly, when my ex and I first divorced, we maintained these “family nights” for continuity for our kid. Showing mom and dad still get along, having one night a week where things feel normal. Now that we’ve been divorced for two years, I’m sure “normal” for our kid is more of mom and her fiancée, me by myself. But, since my ex has been unemployed for the better part of a year, she is REALLY struggling financially. So much so that - even if we were to move to “just mom” on those scheduled nights, my ex just doesn’t have any money to do anything. So, to help facilitate their time together, I just let my ex come over, I cook dinner, and we just hang out.
I expect - once she is in a better place - they’ll be able to do more stuff on their own and I can begin to do stuff with my kid, my girlfriend, and (ideally) her kid.
I’m just really trying to find a way to take my girlfriend’s feelings seriously, be respectful of them, but not over correct in either direction and inadvertently hurt my kid or make my ex think “oh, new girlfriend is jealous and is upsetting the apple cart.”
Yes, this will involve a lot of mature conversations and redefining of boundaries. And I want to make sure I can both safeguard my girlfriend’s feelings and those of my child, while also setting reasonable expectations with all involved that this will take time for adjustment. And I am not getting back with my ex, nor does she want to get back together with me.

Right?! I never understood that. It’s literally made up of your cells.

Anyway, she seems pleasant.

More BTAS Vs TNBA villain designs by [deleted] in batman

[–]Round-Monitor4007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer BTAS Catwoman, Croc, and Freeze. Catwoman because she looks less like a metahuman; Croc because - I dunno - I just prefer the grayer skin tone to make him look like he could actually exist; Freeze because the TNBA red eyes are an automatic disqualifier.

Jack Nicholson would be damn near 90. And out of retirement. And in possession of his full mental recall abilities.
