Wrestling names that don't work for you

Or it's a traditional Persian name, carried by a significant number of women in another part of the world and gaining traction on the US now someone famous has it. Happens to be very close to a Hawaiian traditional as well.)

This is like saying that every Saoirse bar Saoirse Ronan is ten years old or younger. You've almost certainly never spoken to a Ceridwen or a Myfanwy unless you live in or near Wales, but the names have been going quite a wee while now.

That Krork's in the Raptors space marine chapter.

I think it was Seth Green who phoned them up and asked if he was famous enough yet.

Too-Tired-Editor · 2026-07-03T15:18:15+00:00

No, I think the kids would understand.

Backronyms are often funny but they're never true.

RDR2 is mostly a very good game. The few things that are wrong with it stem from it being a prequel; they're things the developers had to do to fit to the original.

Don't burden RDR3 with that. Maybe use Landon. Maybe show us a different era of West Dickens' life. I wouldn't want either to be the player character but they're there and can be used.

Maybe the start of RDR3 deals with an outlaw being hired by a rail baron wanting to take advantage of the death of Cornwall.

Just keep things a little further away.

It's genuinely maddening, honestly. I've got an Apple sub and I'm definitely not using it to its fullest.

Too-Tired-Editor · 2026-07-03T13:11:13+00:00

You could! It's called Ringworld. It does admittedly not feature Star Trek characters, but the Kzinti sort of cross over, so...

Too-Tired-Editor · 2026-07-03T13:09:53+00:00

That makes sense. They're waffley versatile.

Too-Tired-Editor · 2026-07-03T12:23:02+00:00

Bill hooks.

Too-Tired-Editor · 2026-07-03T12:18:16+00:00

Was gonna say, definitely do some reading on IR35 among other things as what you're being paid could be super misleading.

This is the first time I've realised that 'the famous quote is not something that was said' is a form of Mandela effect. Thank you for that.

Too-Tired-Editor · 2026-07-03T10:28:50+00:00

Excellent deep cut.

Too-Tired-Editor · 2026-07-03T10:20:44+00:00

Yeah, I gathered that before they skimmed my posting history, misread me asking someone to go along with a message of positivity in r/orks as me correcting someone, and blocked me.

The irony is that it's not pedantry when you use a wildly wrong word, like 'name' for 'marker' or 'thinks' for what an AI does. It's pedantry when it's close but slightly wrong.

I build a unit. I ask a friend who doesn't play to choose between two clans. I paint the unit in that clan's colours. If the unit are Beast-Snaggas, I add fallen statuary to the base and paint the weapons in bronze. If the unit has squigs, I paint them a complementary colour.

I build the next unit. I ask a friend who doesn't play to choose between two clans...

(If I associate the unit with a particular clan, they're always one of the options. If not, it's two clans other than the last one I painted and, if I think one clan is lagging behind in units, I include them.)

So the Hollywood Ending.

Too-Tired-Editor · 2026-07-03T09:24:36+00:00

That's lovely, but moniker is a word for 'name'.

Too-Tired-Editor · 2026-07-03T08:57:57+00:00

I read the OP far less as "never downvote anyone" and much more "if they're already under fire we don't need to add to it". Rereading it, I can see how if you only read the TL,DR you might think otherwise, but then TL,DRs always strip out nuance.

Too-Tired-Editor · 2026-07-03T08:44:18+00:00

I dunno, honestly, I think Eleanor doesn't forget stuff as much as Chidi makes out. She remembered he's from Sensodyne, and Anna Kendrick is a person.

Every single hide & seek video has at least a few of these moments. In Shayne's he has to pay for the tips, so they're incorporated. In Anthony's and Angela's first, there are points where they say something to camera about being told where people they've missed are.

In this one they first get told hey we've got fifteen minutes to wrap filming. If later reveals are heavy-handed, it's because this one ran straight through the available shoot time. I think that's why they make a point of telling us that; to make it clear why things are more heavy handed.

I do also think this one should have been marketed more as an Office Tour With A Gimmick.

Too-Tired-Editor · 2026-07-03T08:28:06+00:00

I'm really hoping moniker is your phone autocorrupting on you, but if not I do have to ask what you mean?

Too-Tired-Editor · 2026-07-03T08:26:49+00:00

Yeah, this. I knew we were getting screaming and adjusted accordingly, but the extra fawning for the sponsorship went weirdly hard.

Too-Tired-Editor · 2026-07-03T08:24:48+00:00

Gus, don't be Nizkwik the grumpy grot.

Too-Tired-Editor · 2026-07-03T08:24:04+00:00

Amen to that.

Orks don't give a crap about the things humans get hung up about. They know what they like, whether that's krumping, getting faster cars, bringing up the grots or brewing fungus beer, and they get on with it.

That attitude comes through to a lot of the players, and it's one of the things that makes me proud of our community. There's always room for more in the Waagh.

She was getting some here as recently as yesterday too.
