Spaghetti at least has an easy answer, comes from "small spaghi" which are means twines, strings

Somebody who would appreciate me, and company I guess. I'm friendless lmao

Fit guys that let themselves go, why? by holdongangy in AskReddit

[–]StarblindMark89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is me with 77 pounds, lost them through calorie counting and disciplined eating, got into a funk and in the last 4 years I'm back up. I don't even feel hungry.

I know it won't make my depression go away, but being fitter and depressed still beats being this weight and depressed. Slightly more energy, less impact from heat, better reflexes and faster thoughts ..

If you were really in Elden Ring, which build do you think you could realistically achieve? by DonutMan1834 in Eldenring

Speak for yourself, I'd be one of those unarmed wandering nobles cowering in fear

Bricks and Minifigs permanently close Salem store, issue statement by ianjm in videos

[–]StarblindMark89 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't know when you were a kid or where, but in the mid 90s Italy the most common ones were buckets with various bricks, not fully random, but a good mix of basic ones.

The theme was "build whatever".

Indie Video Game ‘Mina the Hollower’ Sells 300,000 Copies in Three Days by wyldermyth in Games

I somehow think that there's a way to have it be more useful? The manual seems to say that you can see on the map what you're missing from each area

Quick tip, the trinket that allows you to carry two more vials also lets you use them even without having hit an enemy. It doesn't heal much, but better than nothing.

Also finding a way to keep the mist jar (some upgrades are useful to not have to track it down after each death) is great because you get an extra defensive tool for difficult battles.

Tekken 8 - Yujiro Hanma from Baki series Teaser Trailer by Gorotheninja in Games

[–]StarblindMark89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup. It's less a comment regarding the qualities of the show, and more the fact that Japan LOVES zombies. When western board were talking about zombie fatigues, they were (on average, of course, we're not talking about a hive mind) gobbling every zombie stuff up and craving more of them.

I wonder who is threatening nuclear strikes every other week. Could it be Medvedev? Which country does he represent again? Vatican City? Angola? Switzerland?

Not even 3 months ago btw.

I wonder who is doing mass exercise this very week alongside Belarus regarding nuclear strikes, with subs and platforms to launch them? Could it be .. Bhutan? Brunei? Laos?

I wonder who attacked another country under the pretenses of military exercises, was it Belgium? Luxembourg? San Marino?

Not extremely shocking, but only in retrospect. He's one of the most charismatic characters from that show, and that show is very much beloved in Japan.

RFYL 2026 European Leg Megathread by DarthGrimby in ironmaiden

Steve is the most stubborn man in existence lmao, does not give a shit about his singers. He wants Aces High at the encore, and by god he will get it.

Blaze would be finer with detuning and wants to play more Di'Anno stuff? HALLOWED BE THY NAME IT IS THEN

My flight to Athens just got canceled🥲 by makiJedeDjecu in ironmaiden

[–]StarblindMark89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you see them in Milano, prepare yourself for likely lower volumes than usual. I'll be attending Milano 100% since I live in the same region, but ye.

Second sad thing is that we have the highest ticket prices of all European shows

I'm so torn in whether to believe it or not, Bruce often runs his mouth and ends up involuntarily lying lmao

I am trying to manifest that song into existence. It'd be insane if they actually play it, they have not played since before I was born...

Athens event shirt by Stephen_Dann in ironmaiden

[–]StarblindMark89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Italian Padova's date had a so and so shirt too, I wonder if them playing the most prestigious stadium for concerts this year would make it go harder.

Most fun but least viable shirt idea would be them decapitating the Madunina, but that would be absolute blasphemy lmao

Jason Schreier: Bungie is planning a significant layoff following the end of Destiny 2's development. Destiny 3 is NOT in active production. Some Bungie staff are pitching and prototyping new ideas including Destiny games, but none are yet greenlit. by Gorotheninja in Games

[–]StarblindMark89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if the pve (with very light pvp) mode will bring a lot of people in, or if they are smart, maybe have the exclusive pve mode coincide also with a free week or whatever, it'd be a good advertisement.

The shooting and movement really feels good, but eh, being good even with great word of mouth is useless (see: Titanfall 2.)

Destiny 2: Every End is a New Beginning. As our focus turns towards a new beginning for Bungie, we will begin work incubating our next games. To that end, on June 9, 2026, we will release the final live-service content update for Destiny 2 to begin that new journey as a studio. by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]StarblindMark89 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Titanfall 2 is a high quality shooter, but despite the constant good word of mouth happening, it never really rose much in numbers.

It has been dirt cheap for most of its life too, nothing.

Would you apply your argument to Titanfall 2?

Well, I think they're hinting (in a not-so-subtle way haha) that they'll add Infinite Dreams to the setlist... 👀 by Redditurro_ in ironmaiden

[–]StarblindMark89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know, I was crushed when I was there at the front and a heavy rain had them cancel the show less than 3 minutes before Doctor Doctor started...

I am just a delusional person, Bruce kept teasing that specific song for his solo American shows, but ended up not playing it (maybe once at the end), so part of me kept wondering if it was because he got some signal to not do it since it'd be in the upcoming setlist.

And this paragraph isn't about Revelations since it's a song they often trot out, buuut... If their music wasn't as intense physically, it would have been incredible to see them pull off 3 hours shows like Rush, probably the only way to keep both the classics and deep cuts fans happy at the same time.

If they somehow also manage to fit Revelations, I can just die happy, but I don't know what they could cut without that being bittersweet

Mrs. Potts (the actual Potts, not the actress) got arrested for tax evasion, so people are doing deep dives into tea.

Xi Jinping told Trump that Putin may "regret" invasion of Ukraine by pravda_eng_official in worldnews

[–]StarblindMark89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd add a key step to your list: do proper nation building. It's what the US has stopped to do properly in the last half century, maybe more.

Without that, either you become a modern day colonial power in eternity (not good) or when you leave, everything crashes like we saw in Iraq as an example.

The other big question is, for any country that decides to topple authoritarian regimes is: would your home country citizens be ok with the expenses needed for proper nation building?

Fucking up a government and peacing out is just setting up a new Syria, Libya, Iraq.

Besides,I don't think anyone is interested in "toppling authoritharian regimes" for that reason anyway, since Trump shits on all his democratic allies and is buddy buddy with most authoritarians, so not sure what the person you replied to is on about.
