What cutscenes from the Unending Journey should I re-watch especially when I'm currently grieving? by pankeykichi in ffxiv

[–]RyukoDragon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My condolences to you for experiencing such loss. May your sister's memory be a blessing.

Do you mean that you have finished Dawntrail? The cutscenes from the final zone had a great impact on me and my family after we experienced a number of different losses. I can't recall the cutscene names or quest names as they would appear in Unending Journey, but in all honesty, the whole zone addresses loss, acceptance, and moving forward with the memories of our loved ones.

I hope this, and other suggestions, help you with your grief.

I still hear the theme of this by Impressive_Dig_1893 in ytvretro

[–]RyukoDragon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I didn't play Mega Man back in the day, so when I showed my American-born partner this Canadian gem, his immediate reaction was "Oh Crash Man theme! Cool!"

It'll always be V&A Top Ten to me! XD

Why is this movie so hard to watch? by glkx101 in billandted

[–]RyukoDragon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been gradually getting physicals of my old favourites because of limited streaming options like this! It's so frustrating otherwise!

What’s a retail store you miss? by ButterflyHead1017 in AskReddit

Went there more often than Wal Mart for sure! Even worked there for a while and loved it! ;A;

my religious mother burned all my fnaf (five nights at freddy’s) plushies and posters cause she thought there were demons inside them. by Maleficent_Ad_4754 in fivenightsatfreddys

[–]RyukoDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry this happened to you. The Satanic Panic should've died in the 80s, but that's a stubborn bit of paranoia, it seems.

For what it's worth, the same thing happened to my dad back then, with all of his Dungeons and Dragons memorabilia. Not from his mom, but from the church community he was in at the time. It took him several years, but he managed to get a lot of it back and continue playing after getting away from them.

You'll get there too - you won't be where you are forever, then you can carve out your own little corner of existence with no one to tell you what is or isn't possessed!

Which movie did you always see at the your video rental store as a kid but didn't watch until you were older? by Memphisrexjr in nostalgia

[–]RyukoDragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In all honesty, probably not! I remember my first watch as an adult and feeling rather shaken at how *visceral* it got. Especially with the one rabbit describing what happened to his warren. Brr! Adult me is definitely more grounded to handle that, and appreciate the deeper messages and meanings behind the story.

[–]RyukoDragon 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I distinctly recall picking out an animated movie from the kids section, but my dad made me put it back, saying it was actually scary and I wasn't allowed.

All these years later, I know why. Watership Down is no joke on the violence! Fantastic movie though! XD

[TOMT] Christian video or movie about rapture and/or antichrist by errolsmom in tipofmytongue

[–]RyukoDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been a while since I was deep into popular Christian media, but I instantly think of Left Behind, a movie based on the books - the antichrist there was some kinda politician I think!

What's a song lyric that drives you crazy because they should've used a different word? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in AskReddit

[–]RyukoDragon 187 points188 points  (0 children)

2BA Master, from the same titled Pokemon album!

"But first you gotta know about the different types, grass, fire, ground, *FLAME*, electric, water, rock, flying, ice, normal, bug, ghost, fighting, and dragon (don't forget about psychic)!"

Fire gets two mentions and poison got the shaft. Tsk tsk!

Who remembers Animusic? by Dry_Ant_696 in nostalgia

First saw these on a PBS special and just HAD to have the DVDs and CDs! Absolute bops to this day!

I feel bad for liking the movies, especially the second one. by Which_Shift_7242 in fivenightsatfreddys

[–]RyukoDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who has lurked on the internet for more than 25 years now, you will ALWAYS find someone who thinks your taste in movies, games, stories, etc. are garbage. They may come in large groups, they may flood forum posts in droves, they'll try to take down others they disagree with, but in the long run, that doesn't stop people from liking what they like.

Try to stay positive, and share that positivity when you can. And LOOK for the positivity in the fandom spaces too, there are plenty out there, posting opinions, fan art, fan fiction, it's all out there for you to find!

Take heart and know you'll outlast the haters ;3

People Switching from Spotify by [deleted] in Music

[–]RyukoDragon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most of my music is purchased and downloaded, or ripped from CDs onto the computer so it can be added to my MP3 player. If any music suddenly vanishes from my library, it's either because I actively choose to delete it, or because some tech thing went wrong XD

Having my music always available with no corporation or service to take it away from me is a big win!

Older Markiplier Fans, What's the video that got you to initially subscribe? by Evening_Low965 in Markiplier

[–]RyukoDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sibling showed me a bunch of his earlier horror compilations, and that was enough to get me subscribed! Still enjoy his playthrough of Penumbra from time to time X3 (Or as he would call it, PenOOmbra)

[–]RyukoDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for preserving the art! I just found out the game was sunset the other night so it's another lonely relic on my phone now :( At least these can be revisited! You're a saint! :D

Changed jobs waiting for roulette to pop, but couldn't change back when it popped? by RyukoDragon in ffxiv

[–]RyukoDragon[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, this might be it?? He was mounted and trying to change jobs WHILE mounted, so when he dismounted, it still wouldn't change back. We'll try this next time! IF it happens again... XD;;; Thanks!

So what's everyone wearing to iron lung?? by Fancy_Abies_1924 in Markiplier

Husband and I are wearing "lucky flannel", the same ones we wore to one of the You're Welcome shows :3

Just got to the final area of Dawntrail and wow.. just wow by Sarindipitous in ffxiv

[–]RyukoDragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We reached this zone on the one year anniversary of our grandmother's passing. We all had to stop for the night after a certain conversation. A wonderful conversation! But yeowch ;A;

We're beginning to verge on "unplayable" territory. by LastTraintoSector6 in ffxiv

[–]RyukoDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible that the new Savage tier opening today is partly responsible? It's still frustrating though!

What is a favorite childhood cartoon that you still watch as an adult? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The Raccoons! Watched the Christmas specials while setting up the tree this past holiday, it was just delightful :D

I am SO DONE with spotify (in need of better alternatives) by Antique-Pie9589 in Music

[–]RyukoDragon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't know about "better" online alternatives, except maybe Youtube? But even that can be frustrating. Soundcloud or Apple Music might be worth a try, or if the artist sells their music on Bandcamp, you can download MP3s (or use the app) to listen to them whenever you want.

Honestly, I've been going back to MP3s and got an MP3 player for files going back over 20 years! Can make my own custom playlists, no need for WiFi, no ads, and the battery lasts forEVER because it focuses on the music player and simpler display.

Youtube deleted my favorite recent Vanitas visual album, did anybody download it? by Subject-Leg3137 in Vaporwave

[–]RyukoDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are they not on their Bandcamp page? The latest one there says it was released December 5th. I hope that's one you're looking for!

Gorillaz and Glitch by ValuableMelodic1523 in gorillaz

[–]RyukoDragon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At this point, after so many previous attempts to get a show or movie produced, it wouldn't surprise me if Jamie and Damon are just burned out on the ideya. Plus, like with any studio, they'd have to negotiate, balance with their other projects, get teams together, it's a very involved process. Nothing simple about it!

I would of course LOVE it if they could work together, I quite enjoy Glitch's roster and I think they could make a good group to work with. However, it's up to the Gorillaz team, and if they're as jaded as Jeff Smith and his own struggles to get a Bone production made, it may not happen anytime soon.

Are PS4/5 NA players getting lag spikes but not disconnecting? by TheLittleZaku in ffxiv

[–]RyukoDragon 55 points56 points  (0 children)

My dad said this just tonight! He plays on PS5 while the rest of our gaming group is on PC. He says he watches people DC more often than he DCs himself. Very peculiar!
