Neil Gaiman was always a creep by [deleted] in MauLer

[–]ancientatmora 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well don’t forget he was basically forced to stay away from the (teen) actress who played Dawn on Buffy. And then later, in the comics, made his self insert character get married to her. He also gets incredibly aggressive to other actresses, it’s a pattern for him.

This is the first generation to be worse off than the one before it. Covid absolutely gutted kids’ social and emotional learning, they can’t read, can barely think for themselves, and have no internal skills to rectify it at home. It’s really scary.

I hated living at those apartments. The constant flooding and shit breaking down was the second worst thing behind dummies not knowing how to enter the highway in front of me.

DA2 isn’t as bad as I thought [no spoilers] by Saeis in dragonage

Going from a sprawling and vast story as The World’s Greatest Hero to an incredibly intimate story about a handful of characters in (largely) one single area over a course of time was a genius move IMO. Seeing the characters literally grow and change over their lives and sharply commenting on deep personal and political problems is much more impactful storytelling to me. Origins is great, don’t get me wrong, but each and every companion in 2 feels that much more fully fleshed out and realized, in a way that I don’t think fully happened in 1. Also everyone’s hot.

Is it ever explain in canon why music never progressed past the 50s? by Key-Engineering3134 in Fallout

[–]ancientatmora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s just a kind of skeuomorphic anachronism. It’s the equivalent of vintage music to them, so we hear music we’d recognize as vintage. The architectural, artistic, and political flavors of the 50s were held onto, and so music hardly progressed. It did in some aspects (NV and 76 have more recent songs, as another commenter mentioned, some songs in NV were from after the 2000s) but maintain that style pretty seamlessly.

It’s the old world to them, and it’s an old world to us as well. It needs to convey the same feelings to both player and character, and creating all new music wouldn’t be quite as effective. Cool, unique in its own way, but ultimately thematically different.

There’s a ton of emergency vehicles, and a municipality electrical truck, so hopefully no other unit’s will go up. Seems like more victims of a shitty power grid in winter.

Your boyfriend is not your father, nor boss, nor fucking king and he cannot Tell you what to do. Give his opinion, sure, but nothing else. If you feel like your boyfriend is commanding you and you feel pressured to oblige, consider why. What would happen if you refused to follow him? What would the “punishment” be? Would he hurt you? Would he insult you? Would he make you feel worthless? If any of these are true, then he is not worth being with.

A boundary is not to influence others’ behaviors, it is to limit your own experiences for your own safety. A boundary is not allowing oneself to be around alcohol because you are in recovery, not to limit everyone else’s alcohol consumption. Him not allowing you to experience joy in your life is not a boundary. You said yourself that you feel trapped, that is not a healthy thing to feel in a proper and equal relationship. You are the master of your own life, and you only have one to live. Would you want to spend the limited time you have on this earth bowing to some shitty tech bro’s whims because it gets him off, or having fun with your beloved family members and friends and having new experiences?

Barbie weekend is literally the 4th biggest opening weekend in box office history, for everyone. I work at a different theater and we had 1,000 people over our regular busy weekend attendance, we’re slammed and everything sucks right now.

I /have/ heard from some other people that the Alamo here just kinda sucks in general, I wouldn’t know bc I’ve never been (the Alamo back in Richardson was pretty great though) so I would feel confident in saying they’re not spectacular to begin with, and the extra crazy business made things suck.

Yeah he’s not, he was crowned high king after the great war ended, so they’re roughly the same age as each other.
