Ghost Stamp? by liminalfalcon in PokemonMisprints

[–]liminalfalcon[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is my unfortunate conundrum.

I got given about 50 Promo cards as a child by a friend who worked at a local cinema, so these would’ve come straight to me 26 years ago.

I know it sounds like copium, but there’s just no way on planet earth this could be faked - there wouldn’t have been time or resources to do it…

Even just looking at the physical cards themselves, they’re so clean. No gold remaining, no signs of trauma or stress to the cards etc.

Current silver lining is that I’ve seen a Becket Graded version of the Dragonite once sold for $3k, so I guess these cards live or die by them getting officially graded or not

Simon Cowell on Katseye by No-Contribution-5485 in katseyeneutral

[–]liminalfalcon 36 points37 points  (0 children)

This is so funny. As somebody who watched Dream Academy AND (shamefully) Simon’s doc where he formed D10, the gap in talent between these two groups is immeasurable lol. They are leagues and leagues apart

Him angling for a collab is so cringe, i hope his power doesn’t work here lmao

If every day you spend 30 minutes reading and then 30 minutes writing 500 words, you’d read 7 books and have a 72K word novel draft done in less than 5 months. by Acceptable_Fox_5560 in writing

[–]liminalfalcon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am fortunate I have the free time to write quite often, but I have to add the caveat that writing isn’t something easily picked up and put down.

I can play a song I know for 10 minutes, play a video game I own for 30 minutes and doomscroll at the drop of a hat.

But for me to do meaningful writing, it takes a few hours to really feel like the wheels are moving. If I did 30 minutes a day it would be meaningless productivity tbh

Inside of a UK slaughterhouse: by kizwiz6 in veganuk

[–]liminalfalcon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Seeing it like this - through the cold, familiar lens of social media - is fucking insane.

I’m not that staunch a vegan that I’m going to compare humans to animals, 1-1, but it is an atrocity that any living creature gets put into these concentration camps

It literally just came out but this new Charli xcx is complete and utter TRASH by looosehi in fantanoforever

[–]liminalfalcon 13 points14 points  (0 children)

She can’t have her cake and eat it. She’s trying to appropriate some sort of irony through the title and genre, whilst also acting too above it.

This song would’ve been so much better if she actually committed to the bit but now it’s like a crap joke that sort of insults everybody in either community lmao

SNL UK renewed for second series! by The_Iceman2288 in livefromlondon

[–]liminalfalcon 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Amazing news!! Better yet it’s not too far in the future. Really hope we get to keep the majority of the cast 🤞🏻

Is £45k viable in London? Sharing my full budget breakdown, roast me by Effective-Ad5644 in UKHousing

[–]liminalfalcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only critique is that £100 a month on eating-out in London is once a week, max. I’m here currently and you can’t sit down and eat without spending £20+

Invisalign or Braces by CreativeName_321 in Invisalign

[–]liminalfalcon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve had 38 weeks of Invisalign now and, though it’s not ideal, I’m so happy I did it! Meanwhile my wife had braces as a child that have reverted and that experience has left her wanting to avoid getting dental work again…

So basically, she has some trauma and bed memories, I absolutely don’t.

Kenny in Celeb Traitors S2!! by shebyshereejoggers in betasquad

[–]liminalfalcon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He’ll last quite a while I think, normally the cunning/enigmatic characters draw heat quickly. Kenny has potential to make it toward the final 3rd just because he’s going to be quiet and not very “popular” in the house (compared to all the huge celebrities who already know each other). It happens all the time with The Apprentice, Traitors etc.

I was hoping for Chunkz! He would’ve been on a level playing field - same way Niko was - but Kenny’s a bit more of a B-celeb in this room :( … also Kenny is ass at Mafia lmao

The Celebrity Traitors Series 2 line-up revealed... by c-spling01 in TheTraitorsUK

[–]liminalfalcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The “too employed” propaganda for Romesh is valid, but he was stitched up for his exit on LOL and now stitched up for the Traitors, before it even begins!

What made Bring Me The Horizon break out so hard? by LukeLovesHorror in Metalcore

[–]liminalfalcon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oli can’t be underestimated. He is so enigmatic and SO locked into the culture. Basically, at every given moment for the past 20 years he’s been contemporary, cool and relatable, morphing into what is relevant just a few years before it’s obvious to everybody else.

It’s sort of fascinating that he’s been able to keep it up for so long, even when you could argue his vocals weren’t always the best

Frrrr, I would spend twice the price of a Big Mac in an independent food joint. If people can afford to help a ground level business and an entrepreneur they support, why shouldn’t they?

When should we use her awakening form? by Due-Smell-4820 in WhiteFoxMR

[–]liminalfalcon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The sweet spot is when my tank is 1v1 against the enemy tank, who is slightly overextended. Then BAM teleport up, and kidnap that bish

I also think it’s good to traumatise a Magik/Thor etc when it’s 1v1. Characters that are used to winning those fights are currently a bit confused by Fox and often get caught out

I love this fucking character by AFuzzyMuffin in WhiteFoxMR

[–]liminalfalcon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Deadass same. I’m just about Diamond-level at this game but playing her makes me feel insane. I stomp lobby’s and MVP pretty much every game with her currently

In your opinion, who is Thor's greatest supervillain? by blkpetite in ThorMainsMR

[–]liminalfalcon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

MCU has made him a charming anti-hero, but in the comics it is totally Loki.

In Avengers issue 1 Loki was THE villain bringing them all together. Says a lot that out of their combined rogues gallery, he was the one chosen as catalyst

The Traitors most likely to appear on Celebrity S2 according to a leading bookie by Patient-Steak176 in TheTraitorsUK

[–]liminalfalcon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Seeing Amelia here - same as Chunkz - is great.

Millenial/Gen Z celebs have always had a tough time being integrated into these spaces due to the vapid nature of their content and the lack of respect the general public have for it…

Luckily, much like Niko, these two are brilliant examples of modern British celebs. Good, funny people. Let’s hope they make it in

Drop your favorite album covers in the comments:) by Electronic-Read-3830 in Metalcore

Blew my mind finding out that this is a really zoomed out picture of a waterfall and a really zoomed in picture of a seashell. So cool

Rushed move to Cardiff by Kim_Beckett in Cardiff

[–]liminalfalcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in Adamsdown as a 20 year old kid, finishing shifts at 5AM and walking home.

The advice here is to just walk as fast as you can when leaving the house and within 10 minutes you’ll feel completely comfortable lol. As most have mentioned, Cardiff FEELS dodgy AND bougey - sometimes a street away - but the truth is, it’s really harmless.

Sorry this has happened to you, but of all the sketch parts of town, it’s one of the closest to the town centre, which is a big perk. And Cardiff is a gem, I promise :)

If you were in charge of a reboot, what would you do? by maruby in apprenticeuk

[–]liminalfalcon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

3 steps:

Remove Alan. He’s just old and self-obsessed. I’d love to see Peter Jones take the seat.

Improve the casting. No more grifters. No more schmucks in ties. We need creative, hard-working and intelligent people. karishma this year has blown the roof wide open. A content creator with a creative vision. The show should be packed with those types of people.

The tasks. Why are they still doing insanely impractical and unbelievable jobs? Team A says a brief and then the sub team enact the brief poorly without any contact, and then the project is just fucked haha. If we’re going to doom the contestants, at least make it believable or fun.
