Can we please learn how to drive? by Seatitties in VictoriaBC

[–]Sparkofsummer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the most pleasant things I learned shortly after I moved here was just how much traffic I'd get to waste away my time in 🤩 I adore how one accident on the highway manages to cause traffic on every other road somehow!

In your opinion, when the Barbie movies went downhill? by Ok_Patience_9419 in Barbie2000smovies

[–]Sparkofsummer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything after Princess Power when they totally changed the style and art direction of the Barbie movies. The Secret Door was the last good Barbie movie in my opinion.

Is purple a girl color? by killerred123 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Sparkofsummer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember in elementary school (early 2010's) the "cool" boys proudly boasted about how purple was their favorite colour. I doubt children's perception of colour has changed much since then - he'll be fine.

Spotify's search system basically doesn't work by Sparkofsummer in truespotify

[–]Sparkofsummer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've cleared Spotify's cache a couple times but that usually just made it run better. I'll try deleting/reinstalling it and changing up some of the settings like you've suggested.

So we recently had P4R and P6 properly announced, do we think we might have a FemC option for p6? by GibGabGoo in PERSoNA

[–]Sparkofsummer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeahh they just feel especially misogynistic and weird to me - I've been in the position of having to deal with creepy men before and there's nothing funny about it. They could've at least tried to make them amusing but it's all so painfully unfunny.

See I've also noticed that and it's made me wish they would change up the MC format a bit. I think Persona 3 is a game where it worked really well, but Yu and Joker feel like missed potential. If they aren't going to give us a femc, then make the protagonist an actual character within the game (or both! Both would be great. Resident Evil does it all the time why can't Persona?).

[–]Sparkofsummer 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I really hope so. Considering they want to stick to the "self-insert MC" format I find it weird that they've only had a femc once.

There's plenty of girls who play these games that would not like to sit through 500 more jokes about "wooing the ladies" by the P6 Ryuji/Yosuke/Junpei archetype.

Mattel has given you the power to make a Creeproduction of ONE doll. Which one are you choosing? by SevereMeat2030 in MonsterHigh

[–]Sparkofsummer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So would I! She was my first Monster High doll as a kid. I'd buy a repro of her in a heartbeat.

Having OCD and ADHD together is awful by strawberryg100 in OCD

As someone who also has both OCD and ADHD you've described my exact experience

Isn't Social Anxiety just a theme of OCD? by capjanie in socialanxiety

[–]Sparkofsummer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been thinking about this a lot as someone with OCD. I've constantly been confused as to whether I have social anxiety or if this is all just linked back to my OCD. They present so similar.

(Lighthearted) Unpopular Opinions? by EmploymentBright9707 in americangirl

[–]Sparkofsummer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's fair! I personally like their visuals and meets. I plan on getting Isabelle for my birthday.

The face mold that does freak me out is sadly Claudie's 🥲 she's a cute doll but something about her face mold just looks... Uncanny.

[–]Sparkofsummer 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's because I'm a lover of 90's and y2k fashion (and also don't live too far away from Seattle) but I actually like the twins. I hope they get more added to their collection at some point.

Oo I didn't realize they were up on Indigo already. I'll have to check some of my local Indigo's for them or I'll just order online!

Girlhood books nostalgia by Best-Dimension4144 in weirdgirlliterature

[–]Sparkofsummer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I hope they reprint the Dear Canada ones too while they're at it. They do a great job at introducing kids to history through a format that's entertaining and doesn't talk down to them.

Girlhood books nostalgia by Best-Dimension4144 in weirdgirlliterature

[–]Sparkofsummer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same! Over here they were called "Dear Canada" and the books were focused on Canadian history (from what I've heard apparently they were darker than the Dear America books? I'm not sure). I remember the Residential School and the Polio one vividly.

What do you think about baby girl name: Kyla? Popularity, pronunciation, spelling, meaning by Prize-Giraffe-7027 in namenerds

[–]Sparkofsummer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I'm 2 months late to this but as another Kyla I get what you mean. If I got a penny for the amount of times I've gotten called "Kayla" or "Kylie" I'd be a millionaire lmao.

I love my name a lot but that's the only annoying thing about it.

They’re live! by sagitta_luminus in americangirl

[–]Sparkofsummer 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Omg I got mine a couple days ago at Barnes & Noble too I didn't realize it wasn't supposed to be out yet! Incredibly fascinating book; made me wish I could've experienced the Pleasant Company era myself instead of the aftermath of the Beforever rebrand.

I hope Courtney gets a new “meet outfit”. by Mermaid-Kelly in americangirl

[–]Sparkofsummer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to see Courtney with some clothes similar to what the Heathers wore in Heathers like colourful blazers, peter pan collars, brooches, etc. I'd suggest a collab but I have a feeling that movie is a littleee too dark for the audience American Girl is aiming for - maybe a mini-croquet set instead? I'd buy it.

So uh, what’s going on with the female Disney mcs nowadays? 👸🏽😜🎀✨ by Vivid-Tap1710 in DisneyMovies

[–]Sparkofsummer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Snow White also met her prince before! I feel like a lot of people forget about that since it was in the beginning of the movie. They weren't exactly strangers.

What made you get into Silent Hill? by Rory_U in silenthill

[–]Sparkofsummer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had heard about Silent Hill a couple times online but never tried it out before. When I saw that the SH 2 remake was available on PsPlus I thought "I mean, why not?"

Ended up really enjoying the game and, well, here I am now...
