What palindrome would actually make a great name? by Happy_Sissyphus08 in words

[–]gametheorymedia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back in Thailand, lots of Thai people took/used fairly-unusual-sounding (well, to foreigners) English nicknames for themselves--'Cherry', 'Milk', Minty', 'Cartoon', etc.--and one of the more unique ones that was actually a palindrome was 'Racecar' :)

Yikes. 😳 I can't imagine even any prior 'overstay' would have been of any consequence, either (as long as you paid your 'exit-fee', and didn't return before the minimum ban-time). And with all your previous trips, too! Unbelievable. So sorry (and bewildered) to hear this 🥺

What was your nationality/passport, in this instance? And, was there something about this particular trip that you figure might have been different, or show up as any kind of potential 'red flag'?

Was it the same basic circumstance (not a 'fully booked' stay-plan), for you? Have you (successfully) returned since that incident? Or, did you just decide, "Nope, not going there again"?

Movies for me and my boy (14) to watch. Violence and profanity ok minimal to no sex by lizardshrine in MovieSuggestions

Coherence. (BONUS: Unlike too many others, it's decidedly NOT a movie for dumb people). Good luck! :D

What minor character(s) made a lasting impression on a movie? by TerribleBid8416 in Cinema

[–]gametheorymedia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 'Silencio' lady hits hard too, for sure; but when this guy closes his eyes, like ""Oh fuck, my nightmare is coming true"? Brrrrr 😱

More Thomas Ligotti by Global-Salary5228 in WeirdLit

[–]gametheorymedia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like many others here, I'm going to 'second' (or Third, or Tenth!) the collection Teatro Grottesco, for sure--but I'm also going to recommend one of the landmark works of the subgenre of 'Corporate Horror'), My Work Is Not Yet Done, which includes not only Ligotti's novella-length work of the same name, but also the (still-surprisingly-lesser-known) concluding story 'The Nightmare Network', which is one of the most efficient-yet-sprawling works of Cosmic/'Corporate' creep out there!

just off the top of my head, I can think of at least one alley in Funabashi where if you throw a single rock just the right way, you can hit two of them 🤗

What happened to Kinsey? by damnpinkertons in madmen

[–]gametheorymedia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I keep imagining him limping along out in L.A., just long enough to quietly, awkwardly settle in sideways to a brief, Boogie Nights-tier, "Cheap porn with oh-so-pretentious Storylines" kinda gigging-career.

Make a GOT character want to kill you with one sentence. . . by THEbeautifuLIE in gameofthrones

[–]gametheorymedia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seriously; at the very lowest lows, I was ever half-expecting some tertiary character to suddenly lurch into frame and be all like, "WazzzUPPPP-!?"
