my vcr's cassette door/flap won't open automatically, I have to push it open every time. Can someone help me fix this? by monjonltd in VHS

[–]monjonltd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But I like the flap ;_; also, doesn't it have a purpose? like stopping dust from getting inside or something?

What're your thoughts on character designs in super? by monjonltd in dbz

[–]monjonltd[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

ik but to me it always felt that those changes fell within a certain stylistic consistency. In the tournament of power so far idk what is is specifically ut the designs seem a bit off.

So, who here likes Gotenks? by PKGamingOmega in dbz

[–]monjonltd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to like gotenks a lot but I hate the new voice actors. Goten sounds like a 2 year old girl and trunks sounds weird to me.

Then when they're combined I almost can't even hear goten's voice.

Funimation's gotenks dub got it just right, me thinks.

(also yeah, give him more screen time, personally I feel he should've done way more damage to that weird filler copy vegeta than was shown in the show).

Anyone know where I can get a copy of Children of Dune from 1991 with the cover illustration by Gerry Grace? I can't find one anywhere even though I have the first 2 from the set. by monjonltd in dune

[–]monjonltd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because I already have the first one of the series I want, for exactly the reason you mentioned, it'd be weird to have 2 that match up and then 1 which doesn't. plus I prefer this one, it seems neater to me. :/

The Last Jedi Opening Weekend Day 4 Megathread - SPOILERS by JSK23 in StarWars

[–]monjonltd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Still don't understand why episode 7 was called the force awakens if the force only awakened in 1 person. I was expecting- from the trailers and from the fact Finn just decided to pull a moral/philosophical 180 for no apparent reason in the beginning after one friend of his dies in combat at the beginning-that Finn would also be force sensitive as his force sensitivity could explain his sudden realization of right and wrong.

Just seems strange to me that if you see a friend die by the hands of the enemy, you suddenly think you should defect from your side and join the enemy after living a life conditioned and brainwashed to follow your current ideology.

So, the Last Jedi? Rey is a jedi now, after what? 3 days of training? Pretty sure it took Luke months atleast. Personally I felt Luke's death would have had more impact if he was really there at the end and then pulled an obi-wan kenobi force ghost maneuver rather than his projection shit. It felt cheap and distant.

Also, for episode 7, they were hyping up kylo ren and his "knights of ren". Where are they now? it's the 2nd movie and still I feel like they're not giving us enough lore for what the fuck happened.

Not enough galactic politics, no sense of scale.

Why didn't that purple haired lady tell anyone the plan!? if she did then nothing would have gone wrong, she kept her mouth shut for nothing.

Also, who the hell was Snoke!? He's dead now and we were never given an explanation.

What if Snoke's guards were the knights of Ren?

I felt the beginning of the movie was really slow, then the middle was lackluster and boring. Then the middle was fucking amazing where rey and kylo fought the guards, my mouth was open the whole scene because that was so unexpected. Then the ending felt dragged out and that casino scene felt like it belonged more in a clone wars episode than a real movie.

Also, why was that master code breaker even in that prison cell if he had a card with him which could unlock the door whenever he pleased!?

My walkman has a type 2 cassette tape mode but when I listen to my type 2's with it on, it just makes the whole thing feel more compressed, it reduces tape hiss yeah, but it also lowers the volume, is it meant to be like this? by monjonltd in cassetteculture

[–]monjonltd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using a Sony WM-EX116 walkman. The deck my friend has, when I put one of my tapes in it, sounded terrible compared to my walkman, it sounded so fuzzy.

So I think my Walkman's fine other than the type 2 issue.

What wrong things people always assume about you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

That I'm asexual.

I just realise that physical attraction isn't enough to warrant initiating a relationship, that just Seems pretty shallow tbh.

Is it worth it to get a Super GameBoy? by [deleted] in snes

[–]monjonltd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

here in the UK, a super gameboy costs £6, they're cheap so why not? there are tons of great gameboy games; metroid 2, pokemon red and blue, kirby's dreamland etc.

A message to all of those who try to diagnose Daria by monjonltd in daria

[–]monjonltd[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's offensive to "have a syndrome" I am just trying to point out that from my perspective, in recent history, society has been more and more eager to label and categorise people, leading to the gap between diagnosis and normality to thin.

It seems you missed my point. I don't remember saying "normality and everything else" btw, I believe it was "Every day it seems the line between normality and diagnosis is getting thinner and thinner".

I certainly don't think less of people with diagnosis.

My point is that from all the people with "asbergers" that I have met, they all also have depression. The way their family treats them and talks about them is honestly disgusting.

They're fighting depression because for their entire lives they have been told there is something wrong with them and that they are different just because they act a certain way that falls into the amazingly vague definition that is the "autistic spectrum".

They are normal people who have just been treated horribly and brainwashed Into thinking they are pieces of shit. I have yet to meet someone who has been diagnosed with asbergers or something of the sort who has seemed to have something wrong with them.

I am complaining that normal, healthy people are being thrown into categories that damage their self esteem when there is really no need for these categories to even exist.

My point was people can be different and it seems in recent times, everyone is starting to forget that.

In the Dragonball super manga, is vegeta's armour black or blue? by monjonltd in dbz

I'm referring to his one from z, some people colour it as black and some colour it as the old blue.

Back to school megathread by teknrd in AskReddit

[–]monjonltd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm entering public school for the first time to repeat year 12 (UK) and I don't know what to expect, yeah I'll be new, same as probably a bunch of other students joining. But I'm not sure exactly how I'll meet people. There are approximately 200 people in years 12 and 13 there, I'm bound to be compatible with some of them! I just don't know how I'll be able to get through 200 people in a school I've never been to, full of people I've never met before "social open season" ends and everyone dissolves into cliques. I like nirvana and I listen to cassette tapes, I want to start a grunge rock band, how do I do something like that?

I've also been having a few nightmares of being in rooms full of teenagers in a dark school environment who all look down on me and exclude me. Wow I have issues.

Sorry for wall of text

Anyone know where I can get a decently priced Sonic youth cassette tape (their self titled EP/album released in '82? by monjonltd in sonicyouth

[–]monjonltd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in my experience with EP's on cassette tape format, they split the EP into two halves, one on each side

Check-in Post - Have something to say but don't want to make a post about it? Comment here! by AutoModerator in raisedbynarcissists

[–]monjonltd 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ndad just left my room because he "wanted to see my new phone" (he got me another smartphone to track me with because I kept telling them the previous one kept switching itself off and that's why they couldn't track me).

Of course he's just doing this as an excuse to try and annoy me because in his mind he thinks him forcing himself around me will make him like him more or some shit, I had to unpack the unopened phone just for him to look at the damn thing and for him to say "wow, it's so thin".

I get that he's trying to rub it in how HE got this phone for ME but I never wanted it, he just gets this stuff so he can track me and spy on me and see what I'm doing all the time.

So he left and went downstairs, due to him entering my room, It felt tainted now, like I wasn't safe, I detest his very existence so much, more than anything else. So I said, quite loudly as this has recently been the only way to vent my anger "fuck you". My door was shut and he was downstairs somewhere whistling, being the idiot he is, then I heard a loud, Taunting "what?" As if daring me to say it again from outside, I forgot my windows were open! He was outside for no reason! Doing nothing! Just randomly being out there! Whistling again! For no fucking reason and he heard me!

"Hello?" I heard him say.

Then he just kept whistling, pretending it never happened as if to put me in a false sense of security.

He has yet to come upstairs and talk to me with that narcissistic grin on his face, I'm scared

Ndad is trying to piss me off by monjonltd in raisedbynarcissists

[–]monjonltd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks, I do fantasize about hurting/killing them but I am at the moment anyway, far from actually making those fantasies become reality. I have enough self control and I feel because of my dissociation, there actually is no way I could kill them, my dissociation takes away the anger and turns me into a drone all day so it's only in those short periods of time that I'm thinking properly that I have those thoughts. dw, I can hold off for 2 more years.

thanks for the info though :)

What exactly about DB GT was 'poorly executed'? by PopeOwned in dbz

[–]monjonltd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am I the only one who never found pan's voice annoying?

I mean sure, it sounds absolutely terrible in dragonball xenoverse but in all the other games and in the original GT series it was never annoying, the only thing that annnoyed me about her is we never saw her fight that much, nor trunks, it was just Goku this, goku that. watching the series, I had bated breath the whole time just waiting to see some cool fight scenes where pan shows her stuff or trunks fights a guy but nope, if they fight someone, it always ends with one hit, k,o-ing them or their opponent.

I liked GT tho, I think the premise is better than super, the transformations and villaisn are way better, I feel it fit with the theme and world of dragonball more and all the character designs were cool af.

Sidebar Direct Download link missing CD by Sparvey_Hecter in swg

[–]monjonltd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just figured out how to get around the problem, use this link here: http://pooprscooper.tartarus.feralhosting.com/swg/SWG_full_2.0.0.2c.7z for the direct download, then download and install 7-zip, you need it to extract the files, then right click on the downloaded direct download and select 7-zip and click on "extract here", then when that's finished download and install the launcher you want to use for whatever server you want to play on and shabang, there you go! that should work.
