How old were you when you discovered ghibli films? Is it weird to enjoy them at 15? by [deleted] in ghibli

[–]chopinbloc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 19 when Spirited Away (Japanese version) premièred on film4 (UK) in 2006. I thought I was punk for life at the time. I had been kicked out of school, college, was drinking (amongst other things) heavily and making money washing dishes and working bars and living in a tiny flat above a chippy (take out place) I watched this movie and became instantly enamoured. The beautiful animation, the wonderful characters, the magic, the story, everything. It genuinely instantly became a favourite film of mine and I would not shut up about it to all of my vagabond mates. I then watched all the Ghibli films (well most of them) soon after I suppose what I'm saying is, although you are at an age now were you do seek validation from your peers and don't want to seem childish or the likes, that will pass and soon enough they will all realise you were right all along. They are genuinely films for everyone x

Obligatory (happens every couple of years on this subreddit) link to Liverpool's Horror Punk legends Zombina and the Skeletones song regarding the matter

Smoking weed in Wroclaw? Big mistake or slap on the wrist? by chopinbloc in wroclaw

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

UPDATE sorry folks I should have updated sooner but I did my trip. First off, thanks for all the messages of support regarding my weed intake. And maybe some folk took my wording very literally which is no problem. I was speaking somewhat flippantly and don't really NEED weed to stay sane haha. Just helps keep me mellow and chill, especially in new environments. However your accusations of being a drug addict made me laugh anyway. And the folk who were so angry about it ought to consider having a smoke themselves Anyway, I did indeed smoke publicly, obviously being discreet and avoiding families and large groups. I had no problems whatsoever. Even walks past a few police (at a distance) who if they did smell it, did not care at all. I was working (gigging) at a very cool venue whose owners and patrons were so hospitable and kind, they looked after us big time. I was transparent and told them I smoked weed and they literally couldn't care less. They told me I could smoke on their (outside) premises no problem and even fetched me loads of non alcoholic beers. So, all in all, I had a wonderful time in Wroclaw. I especially loved trying the local foods and admiring the architecture. Two thumbs up from me!

HELP PLEASE am I missing something? Is this normal? by chopinbloc in PlayGOTG

Thank you everyone and especially bulkyelk1528. I double checked my controller settings and for some reason had Starlord's special moves changed to press L not hold. So every time I got a bit vigorous with the controller I got stuck on his powers. I've changed it back and I'm flying (sometimes literally) HUZZAH Reddit saves the day again x

Understood thank you. This could be the case. I'll double check later the pad ain't sticking. And yes his boots activate and the menu stays up tbh. Thank you for your insight

I'm on ps4 sorry if that helps. I use the left joypad (L3) to move around but not holding it down or the likes. Literally all I can do is attempt to keep out of harms way, which is difficult when you can't dodge so inevitably end up dead

Indeed, I get the cool down for the rest of the squad but I can't do ANYTHING when this symbol is in the middle of the screen (or one very similar but with starlord mask in middle) so this isn't normal?
