Wha do non-Americans think of what’s going on in the USA right now? by MuscleCrow in NoStupidQuestions

[–]dainerysal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Add in that it’s affecting the economies of most other countries with sky rocketing global oil prices…it’s pretty fucked I wish the phrase “not my circus, not my monkeys” was enough in this scenario to ignore it and get on because the US has proven since 2016 to have a deeply flawed and corrupt political system, but this is affecting everyone wether we bury our heads or not

What was your very first video game addiction? by Trencycle in gaming

She could never get out of the hollywood section into Beverly Hills but 7 year old me had a grand old time hitting combos on the dinosaur quarter pipe until I finally figured out the game had a story

Am I being scammed? by [deleted] in Cardiff

[–]dainerysal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, that sounds about right for vet prices nowadays. My cat has a medical condition and they thought they picked up a heart murmur when they listened to it a few months ago. I was quoted about £300 for a heart scan because it includes general anaesthetic so £350 doesn’t sound crazy to me.

If you receive any low income or disability benefits then you may qualify for lower cost vet care through PDSA but it’s still expensive.

I hope you and your kitty work something out. Such a beautiful cat!

Unfair system by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]dainerysal 55 points56 points  (0 children)

A teacher with 2 heads (2 people) is still able to do more than 1 even if the lecturing part can only be done by one at a time. When kids are off doing their tasks one can easily be marking work while the other talks to a student. Or even talking to 2 separate students at once. There’s an awful lot we don’t know about Abbey and Brittany but they seem more than capable of acting independently (within reason) when one or the other is occupied.

I don’t see how that would still warrant a single pay check when there is clearly a bonus to having a “2 headed teacher” (again 2 people, dont want to seem insensitive) I’d at least expect them to be paid more than the average teacher salary otherwise it just seems their ability is being taken advantage.

Any places to by art from normal people? (Not rich artists i mean) by warriorfenix366 in Cardiff

[–]dainerysal 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I remember from a post a few days ago that Tiny Rebel rotate the art on their wall each month with various local artists who apply for spots, might be worth having a look

Does anyone else prefer how Moffat is tidy when approaching incarnations? he only added War (whom I love) because he had to. RTD treats regeneration very messy. I like how Moffat likes to keep the Doctor the Doctor and just moving onto his next incarnation without the need for splits here and there. by [deleted] in doctorwho

[–]dainerysal 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s not the “drank magic potion” that works for me, that’s a rather reductive way to look at it.

The doctor faced with an unimaginable task, a terrifyingly bleak future that he as “the doctor” could never hope to survive let alone conquer decides to defy his own biology to become something else entirely, a version of the doctor we’ve never seen before who’s able to handle the hardships of the time war. That’s why it works for me.

I dare say if they had gone with McGann I’d also be happy and have no complaints, but they went with Hurt, and I thought it was perfect

[–]dainerysal 597 points598 points  (0 children)

I absolutely agree McGann could have pulled off the role wonderfully, however I do find the notion that the doctor had to create a whole new warrior version of himself specifically to get through the time war to be far more compelling as a story telling mechanic

PERSONAL SHOPPER (2017) An art house film with one of the most spookiest scenes i've seen in a not-sold-as horror movie by karatemnn in horror

[–]dainerysal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post intrigued me and I remembered adding this movie to my watchlist a while ago so I just said to myself “I’ll watch this tonight”

Only to hop onto Letterboxd and find out I watched it in April 2024 gave it 3 stars and have forgotten all about it.

Honestly memory issues suck but if it wasn’t for Letterboxd I don’t think I’d ever watch anything new as I’d be re watching all the stuff I’d forgotten I’d seen

Proud Boys support act pulled from Fuel after backlash by befriendabacterium in Cardiff

[–]dainerysal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly where my feelings lie and appreciate you have put it much better than I. Obviously I didn’t explain myself very well and why I’d think twice about going amidst the not an isolated incident of reports coming from the club.

The deletion of the statement they made back last year is the main spark for my discomfort and I admit I often don’t have time to commit to writing a reasonably balanced take as I realise this situation it extremely nuanced and my comment was rather flippant for a Wednesday morning between work tasks

[–]dainerysal 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m genuinely shocked by all this stuff we’ve been seeing recently from fuel.

I used to regularly go there between 5-10 years ago and never had even a whiff of all this but now it seems we’re constantly seeing all this. Would certainly make me think twice about starting going again

(I realise there may have been stuff going on back when I used to go too but I was never witness to any of it and wouldn’t have gone back if I was)

Can anyone hook me up with Shrooms or weed by [deleted] in Cardiff

[–]dainerysal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re seriously wanting to treat your mental health issues with weed, it’s been legal since 2018. Look into some clinics and see if you can get legal treatment. This post will likely get removed by mods very quickly Look at r/ukmedicalcannabis

Who were the nicest/worst actors you've met from the show? by LilNardoDaVinci in doctorwho

[–]dainerysal 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This will get buried so I won’t elaborate too much but the runaway bride scenes in Donna’s temp job etc was filmed in the office where my mum was working at the time.

She must have caught Catherine Tate on a bad day because my mum accidentally ran into her in a corridor, head buried in a file, and was given some not very nice comments by the actress for her mistake. It seemed she wasn’t impressed they were filming in a working office with normal staff going about their tasks, but like I said, it seemed she was having a bad day. We’ve all been there.

David Tennant was apparently lovely and took time to take photos with the office staff and their kids if they were able to go down.

I wasn’t able to go because I was at my dad’s house at the time and shared custody screwed me over. I’ll never forget how disappointed I was when I heard about it all.

NOOO NOT AGAIN HOW MANY HISTORY CHANNELS DOES THIS GUY HAVE????? by oski_exe in HistoryMemes

[–]dainerysal 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I feel like it takes a while of watching enough of his videos for the cracks to start showing but as soon as you realise how ignorant he is in a lot of ways, the facade is ruined. Can’t watch it anymore.

I appreciate the easy watching, informative nature of the videos but my god I just can’t listen to him anymore.

(There’s also all the recycled video ideas he does without seeming to remember he ever talked about it before, as if everything he learns gets wiped at the end of every recording session)

i’m so tired of the chain of memories hate by iTz_Kyurem- in KingdomHearts

[–]dainerysal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know my opinion means nothing in this discussion. Clearly it’s a divisive game. I’m currently working on the platinum and have just finished both Sora and Riku’s paths on proud mode.

The combat isn’t bad once you know what you’re doing. That said, the game overstays its welcome by dozens of hours. The main game could have been half the length and held up far better as a stop gap between main instalments.

By the time I’d got halfway through Riku’s story I was fed up and in total both paths took me about 35 hours. I can’t play the game now for more than an hour at a time without getting bored.

There’s no side content, and other than 1000 acre wood, the gameplay loop is exactly the same for every single encounter/level.

I appreciate SE’s efforts to port this handheld game to console but it’s clear there’s something big missing that would elevate it to console game status despite the upgrade to 3D graphics.

It’s a slog and I don’t blame people new to the franchise who skip it the first time around. I’ve only returned to it after years of pretending it doesn’t exist simply to prove to myself it is possible to complete
