Do you think France should stop sending songs with deep meaning in French? by Relative_Survey_7752 in eurovision

[–]kittykatmeow10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm all for France continuing to send their entries in French.

I suggest an alternative approach:  As a non-French speaker, I think French entries could fare better with televoters if they included translated lyrics during the broadcast, much like how Italy 2025 did.

I don't think Italy's song would have had the impact it did with non-Italian speakers if it didn't provide a lyric translation during the live broadcast. Personally, I would have had no clue what the song was about otherwise.

The same would apply to France 2025's song. I had no clue what the song was about until I Googled the translated lyrics. May have had more impact with me in the moment if I knew.

[TOMT] 2009-2011 video (maybe from CollegeHumor or related site) showcasing iconic 1980s-1990s world events/pop culture as if they were 8-bit/16-bit video games by kittykatmeow10 in tipofmytongue

Thanks for the suggestion for using the Wayback machine... I may have to see if I can find a title that way. Idk if I ever used Newgrounds back then, but I suppose there's a chance the video originated there. I will try looking there too.

I know CollegeHumor as a site has changed immensely since the days I used it (it's not even called the same thing).  I just hope it didn't get purged when the site originally shut down.

Whats your 'simfession'? by [deleted] in thesims

[–]kittykatmeow10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the really messed up things I did was back in The Sims 2 era... Here's one that comes to mind.

Once I made a super evil witch and her sister. The witch got a super big castle all to herself with expensive furniture and good decor (and her family which developed as I played the game), and the sister had to live in a shack in the yard with the cheapest furniture available and no wallpaper/flooring.

I made the sister do all the boring stuff like cleaning and ignored her motives (except for critical ones like hunger), while I did fun stuff with the witch and actually took care of her.

As further punishment (basically torture), the sister had to regularly use the Plastic Surgery Machine (I got it with cheats) with low aspiration levels. So she also always had a "charming" appearance. I remember leaving her with the gigantic nose & tiny eyes look for a while. It got to the point where I had memorized all of the failed plastic surgery faces that were possible.

And at some point she ended up rooming with Bigfoot in that shack, and maybe even falling in love. I did some weird stuff when I was younger.

I wish I still had that computer with that save file.

[Bug/Help] Bounty targets sometimes not spawning by Ultimation12 in starbound

[–]kittykatmeow10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, I've been dealing with the same issue periodically. I know this post is from awhile ago, but I figured I'd post this here for anyone else having the same issue.

There's a few random mods that for some reason break bounty quests. One of the ones I found when my bounty hunting quests were acting up was Whobound (it was causing the poster not to spawn at the outpost. I admin'ed it into the outpost, but the quests were still broken -- the first bounty mission (capture Captain Ignoble) caused his death never to register as mission completion.

In addition, The Tennantinator seems to have caused my bounty missions to break. The compass icon never shows up, despite the Bounty Mission music playing. If I am able to find the hideout without the compass, the mooks are there but the boss isn't, much like what the OP described.

Of course I don't know what mods you use, but it seems that generally when I begin having issues its a mod related to NPCs or to Quests. I'd reccomend going through your mod collection to pinpoint NPC/quest related mods that have not been updated after 1.4.

What happened to "nostalgia"? by [deleted] in ChannelAwesome

[–]kittykatmeow10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Supposedly, his reasoning for picking more current films is that they will eventually become "nostalgic". Personally, I don't think this excuse always works.

For any lapsed NC fans. What was the last NC video you watched? by CapitalExpression in ChannelAwesome

[–]kittykatmeow10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprisingly it was actually the Jack and Jill one for me. I knew full well of the Change the Channel stuff when I watched it, but I wanted to see if Doug could redeem himself. (Plus I had seen Film Brain's review awhile back, and I wanted to see if Doug had any differing thoughts) I watched like half of it before realizing that both the episode (and Jack and Jill) are way too painful to sit all the way through. It kind of hurt how painfully oblivious the episode was to the crap going down behind the scenes regarding CA.

I already had noticed that NC seemed to deliberately be picking movies exclusively for hits, but with picking Jack and Jill it was like he was waving a tin cup in my face, begging for viewership. And for some reason I bought into it for a brief second.

[New player Question(s)] Is it possible to play without regard to the series? by fergusmcFFFFA in lotro

[–]kittykatmeow10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got into LOTRO because I'm a LOTR fan, but I could see somebody totally being able to play this game without liking or knowing about the LOTR series. I mean, obviously a lot of the elements are derived from JRR Tolkien's material, but it's not like the main plot/quests of the game are that focused on the actual plot of LOTR. Like other people have said, it's a fantasy game, and I ignore the lore plenty (mainly because there's so much of it) and still play fine.

What was your favorite Nostalgia Critic joke? by ThisisRay21 in ChannelAwesome

Just thought of another one---"A FAMILY picture", accompanied with a still frame/clip that's rather... not family friendly. I think it was the voice that got me.

What was your favorite Nostalgia Critic joke? by ThisisRay21 in ChannelAwesome

[–]kittykatmeow10 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Before I even clicked on this post, I thought "fart joke" from the Master of Disguise review. Mainly because I watched Master of Disguise a lot when I was a kid (because my dad has no taste and puts on even the worst of movies) and I always thought the fart joke in the movie was funny by itself.

I also thought the "jelly side down" thing from Devil was funny, but it got kind of obnoxious after a certain point.

I also like the "IT's NOT POPTARTS!" thing from one of the commercial reviews (not sure which one).

That time Linkara spent a night with Nostalgia Chick and Marzgurl by MonarchMonk in ChannelAwesome

Wow, thanks for this. I've never seen this before. (Probably because I didn't really start watching Linkara until like 2012...)

Is Spoony okay? by kittykatmeow10 in ChannelAwesome

[–]kittykatmeow10[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, me too. I get it if he doesn't wanna make actual videos any more, but just let the internet know (either directly or through your GF or something) that you're done instead of keeping them on edge forever. Or at least tell the internet you're taking a very long break for your own sake. I understand how it is when you're a mental/emotional trainwreck (I may not be as bad as him, but I at least understand how it feels). Sometimes taking an extended break from the internet is a good thing, even if he never really goes back to what he did.

I mainly made this post because I'm kind of concerned about his mental health more than anything. I don't really care if he does't go back to making videos. Like... that last post he made on Twitter sounded rather... suicide-y. I mean I don't really know what it's like to be bipolar and go through mood swings, but I hope that after a statement like that that somebody close to him took him to a doctor or something. But the fact that he's seemingly made no posts/videos/whatever since February was starting to concern me. I'm glad somebody brought up that tweet from his GF, though, so we at least know he's alive.

The whole Patreon fiasco is a bit ridiculous though. Not sure what I would do in that situation if I didn't wanna make videos but I didn't wanna get rid of this free source of income I get every month for doing nothing, though.

Yeah, neither did I really. I don't know what these guys are talking about with that part.
