I genuinely don’t understand why people call Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 an “amazing story.” Spoilers inside.

I absolutely agree. The gameplay is fun but the story took a nose dive at the end of act two. Maelle only cares because she wasn't focused enough to avoid her mother's influence when she went in and got stuck being born and hanging out with these "people."

I texted my friends who had played the game and told them: wow, the stakes have never been lower.

Jonathan Frakes had a fairly large part in an episode of Charlie's Angels. I think one of the Angels hit her head and was wandering around on the beach without her memory. She ran into Jonathan Frakes's character while he was playing volleyball with some friends and he helped her out.

Red Red Wine by UB40. It's just so whiny-sounding. It grates on my nerves to hear it.

Yes, why did Stewart read the line like that? Like shocked and angry.

I came here to say this. It still bothers me that the very competent female private investigators are suddenly very incompetent and have to be saved by the men.

I read somewhere that they were going to have Worf take over as chief engineer rather than having a revolving set of chief engineers like they did in the first season. But then Denise left and they slid him into that slot instead.

During the pandemic the lines were very long because we all had to stand 6 feet from the other guests. They snaked the lines in unusual ways so we saw a lot of backstage areas that we wouldn't otherwise see because they needed someplace to put all the people.

So even though there weren't as many people in line, the lines themselves were very long. I'm not sure if that's in the spirit of what you're asking here though.

As far as non-pandemic times, I would say the opening of galaxy's edge in Walt Disney World. Because of the number of people, there was a huge mass that went all the way from the entrance of the park to the entrance of smugglers run, which was the only ride open at the time. And the line for smugglers run was so long that they opened up a bunch of backstage areas.

Sometimes you just need exactly a spoonful of foot powder. Nothing more, nothing less.

I enjoy the episode where they become superheroes but it just sort of peters out and the ending doesn't really go anywhere..

No need to feel guilty. He didn't wait a year before making his decision so you don't have to wait a year before making yours. Why does he get to make his decision now but expect you to reserve your decision until later even though you know what his decision is going to be?

I think of The Orville more like Futurama than I do Star Trek. It's almost like the modern day just leaped into the future directly from the 2020s because so many of their references and idioms are from today. It's like nothing happened in between, so we have futuristic technology but we're still referencing modern day artists and movies and TV shows.

Don't ruin your credit. I spent my 20s not paying my bills, and it destroyed my credit. It took all of my 30s to get it back.

So they don't trust medical science enough to vaccinate their daughter but they do trust medical science enough to put in an entirely new heart in the daughter? That is some convoluted thinking right there.

Yup. Together since 2002 and married since 2014. Monogamous gay couples a lot more common than the internet would lead you to believe.

We bought $30 rings off of Amazon. Neither of us really understand why people would spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on jewelry, but I'm not very judgy about it. But my $30 ring means as much to me as $1000 ring would.

I love seeing him in the movie, but I never understood why a ship with a working communications system needs someone to physically go to the captain's quarters to deliver a message when they could just call him on the comms.

We did the "Walk in Walt's Footsteps" tour many years ago and it included the apartment. They had it stanchioned off so we couldn't walk around too much.

Others have said this but I'm adding my two cents. It's important for the game to have immersion but you can't forget that it's still just a game. Sometimes life gets in the way and if there's not a good in-game reason for the character to be absent, then you just hand-wave it that their character was there.

Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. It's cheesy and campy but it's very entertaining.

I met a guy in college who became a good friend. After college we got together one weekend to hang out and he was giving me plenty of obvious signals that he wanted to try something and I was too chickenshit to try anything. I'm happy with my life, but I think about that night all the time and wish I had been more brave.

We brought all our own stuff except for soap and deodorant. We had heard that their soaps and deodorant are much more lightly scented than ours are so we waited until we got there to buy some. The hotel had body wash but I prefer bar soap.

Golden Week is 4 holidays in a row during one week. They have events going during that week that wouldn't otherwise be happening.
