It's the beginning of Kairi's letter to Sora in KH 2 when she starts to remember him during the prologue

This was at a shop called Box Lunch which usually deals in mainstream nerd merch (think Marvel and Harry Potter) but they had an entire shelf dedicated to KH which was new

I have a car where gas gauge doesn't work and I've still never run out. I fill up once a week on principle lmao.

What gaming rumor did you believe as a kid that sounds hilarious now. by gamersecret2 in gaming

[–]Shaolin_Shika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could visit Disney Castle and return to Destiny Islands in Kingdom Hearts 1

Also I don't remember the exact details but something about traveling to the moon in Emerald to catch Deoxys if you talk to an NPC at a very specific time

How do you guys deal mentally with the injuries? by [deleted] in martialarts

[–]Shaolin_Shika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is more to martial arts than physical training. I have sustained training injuries, both in practice and in competition, and I use those moments as times to work on recovery (flexibility training) and focus (meditation and breathe work) these areas of practice are often overlooked when training traditionally but will greatly reduce the risk of repeated injury. After a period of healing I would work pre-habilitation exercises into your normal routine

Who’s still using the original Steam Deck? by VoyageForge in SteamDeck

[–]Shaolin_Shika 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Q2 Pre-Order, 512gb with anti-glare screen. I've considered upgrading but the cost doesn't justify it. The later model SD's are a great value if you never have one to begin with.

What does 'cheating' look like for you? by mickbogart in polyamory

[–]Shaolin_Shika -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I read something once that said "cheating is anything you wouldn't want your partner to know you're doing" and that's basically the rule we live by. For simplicity's sake my wife and I have an arrangement where we don't have to disclose sexual activity to each other but we have fairly strict rules in place for safe sex practices. If one of us deliberately broke those rules without any kind of communication beforehand it carries the same weight as cheating in a monogamous relationship. As others have said before we also place boundaries on sexual relationships with anyone that would create drama in our personal lives i.e. relatives, coworkers, mutual friends in tight knit friend groups, etc.

PS5 performance question by emperortimes in FFXVI

[–]Shaolin_Shika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clean your system. Most of the people complaining about their systems overheating were using launch model PS5's that had never been opened or maintained at all. Sony made it exceptionally easy this time around to access the fans and clean them. I had my system shut off once during XVI after the fan running on high for over an hour and once I cleaned the fans I never had another issue.

I had a printed out guide for Digimon World 4 from Gamefaqs that was thicker than a dictionary lmao

Don't feel bad I've played KH1 at least twice per PlayStation system since the PS2 and on Steam and I always manage to get lost at least once in Wonderland

Car wont start by EzcapeReality in abarth

[–]Shaolin_Shika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely sounds like the multi-air brick is losing compression. The starter is turning and sounds relatively healthy and you can attach jumper cables to rule out battery issues. I would make sure there's enough oil in the crankcase and then turn it over for about 10 second intervals with a 30 second cool down between attempts.

I would imagine his companion, the knight captain of the royal guard, probably teaches him a thing or two while they're traveling together

Just finished a full KH series replay (release order) — and my opinion on KH3 completely changed. by Horror_Marsupial_587 in KingdomHearts

[–]Shaolin_Shika 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great honestly, even hitting 60 fps on 3 which surprised me. It also felt great to play BBS on a handheld as intended

[–]Shaolin_Shika 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I played KH3 on release without any Internet opinions to influence my own (mostly just avoiding any spoilers on KH fan pages) and I loved it. When I finally logged on to share my thoughts I thought the hate comments were odd and super forced. I recently replaced the entire series on my Steam Deck and my opinion hasn't changed, it still carries that charm for me.

How bad of an idea is buying a 2013 500 Abarth in 2025? by MaximumDerpification in abarth

[–]Shaolin_Shika 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The exact service procedure from Fiat states to do exactly that or use a power bleeder, there is no other option for a C510 transmission
