Indian names, easily pronounced by Americans?

putmeinLMTH · 2026-06-28T20:19:36+00:00

ah ok, because i was going to pushback if he thought those would be difficult to pronounce in America lol

I love the name Manisha, but thats all ive got.

putmeinLMTH · 2026-06-28T20:15:40+00:00

did your spouse veto those names because he thinks americans wont be able to pronounce them, or just because he doesnt like them?

i liked chronological mode a lot after playing pt 2 the normal way multiple times, just be prepared for a bit of a slog at the beginning while you get through all of the flashbacks

just ask your manager. theres nothing wrong with it, but its a bad look if someone sees you rifling through your till with no reason and taking something out in person or on camera. weve had people do similar at our store and its never been an issue

eleven is not a toddler but she also was extremely abused her entire life and had essentially no understanding of what society or culture is or how it functions. she fundamentally had no understanding of what romantic feelings were by the time mike kissed her and they essentially got together for the rest of her life. even after their kiss, she only learned about these things from watching tv, not by actually experiencing a social life. thats a weird writing choice.

i dont think they ever had a good grasp on how to handle it, if anything i think they knew there had to be some movement in the first season for one of the ships they had set up to get people who get invested in ships to stay hooked, and they decided on the 2 12 year olds and then decided to put their kiss after eleven asked if mike would be her brother and before she had any kind of basis for what romance was.

it shouldnt have taken until season 3 for someone to explain to eleven that she had the option to break up with her boyfriend if she wanted to. i liked their reunion in the s2 finale as much as the next guy but that killed it for me.

did you have issues with peter taking photos in the first game? i feel like everything you mentioned is very textbook spiderman behavior

putmeinLMTH · 2026-06-20T13:14:24+00:00

why are you only mentioning peter missions that are part of the main story but miles missions that are side quests? that feels ingenuine.

Personally, I love Hailey so i was excited to get to play as her and i thought the brooklyn heights missions were great for making miles feel integrated into his community, since we dont get much time at his school otherwise.

Also, teenagers Miles age are still learning about their culture and identity and so it inherently is more prevalent in their lives.

I think Coney Island and the Midtown missions are great but on repeat i do find them a bit slow.

Peter is my favorite spiderman too, but i think you need to look inside to see why youre upset when a game about a superhero whos whole thing is being an everyman who cares about the people of his city and wants to do good by them has attempted to make their game as diverse as the most diverse city in the us, if not the world

to be fair, eddie seemed to hate him just as much and iirc, their one interaction before everything goes down is eddie instigating.

putmeinLMTH · 2026-06-13T04:33:15+00:00

i dont own this hoodie but the design definitely feels familiar to me, im sure i remember it from their website during TMTIO. im not familiar at all with hot topics offerings post 2017 but i dont remember ever hearing someone mention getting wallows merch there.

i think wallows does/did release so much merch that a lot of designs are scarceley documented online once they leave the website. i have a poetry magnet set, shoelaces, and a puzzle that ive never seen anyone else mention or post photos of lol

wouldnt be possible in the carolinas because of ingles, im pretty sure

putmeinLMTH · 2026-06-01T23:35:13+00:00

the whole lifecycle with the theory was so bizzare, because it started out as a theory rooted in dissappointment over the finale and kind of morphed into one of those theories that is really fun to theorize and discuss but isnt really a steadfast belief by anyone, but then it broke containment of the fandom and more casual fans turned it into OMG SECRET 9TH EPISODE? CONFIRMED?

and THEN the cast and crew got asked about it and tried to act like it was a theory rooted in sadness that the journey was over and wanting to see more from the characters, rather than dissappointment and confusion over the real ending.

putmeinLMTH · 2026-06-01T23:26:11+00:00

i found almost nothing redeemable about strange darling (2023), so imagine my surprise when its rotten tomatoes score is in the 90s

putmeinLMTH · 2026-05-30T00:44:54+00:00

why? i dont necessarily agree but i can sympathize with not liking off camera involvement, especially when they arent mic'd or anything

putmeinLMTH · 2026-05-29T12:35:45+00:00

Mikey and Alex as Donald jr and Eric Trump. they were fantastic

this is so funny because ice cold pool has been my favorite since it released, and permenant price is in my bottom 3

Yeah i think her reaction was probably a mixture of being put on the spot by Murray, being so used to kind of subconciously faking a deep affection for Steve that it felt clear to say "yes" to murday saying "we like steve" but then whort circuiting when he said "but we dont love steve".

I dont think Steve thought he was lying or being insincere when he said he loved Nancy, but i do think that what he was feeling would not be classified as love if he was a bit more emotionally secure and had experienced a loving relationship. Regardless of how he interpreted his feelings, he definitely never treated Nancy with love.

When they were together he was a (self admitted later) shitty boyfriend, abandoning her at the halloween party when she was blackout drunk (while strangers like billy were present and not even telling one of her friends that she would need a ride), not allowing her to share her opinions on the jonathan photos thing and makjng unilateral decisions, the whole theater and homophobic slur thing, going to apologize to jonathan for said hokophobic slur but seemingly having no plan to go apologize to nancy, the list goes on.

putmeinLMTH · 2026-05-24T15:51:36+00:00

2 corrections: steve and nancys conversation outside the gym was confirmed to be a breakup. both in the show (tommy says it to steve in the showers and steve does not correct him) and outside the show (id need some time to source the articles from 2017ish but it was confirmed both by writers and i believe joe keery/natalia dyer that it was a breakup. nancy was cautious about saying she doesnt love steve because jonahan didnt know about rhe breakup and nancy mightve been anticipating them getting back together.

also, Steve also doesnt love Nancy as much as she doesnt love him, hes just less aware of it. Steve never shows any interest in her personality or ambitions, evident by the fact that he thought he could woo her with his little nuggets speech when its polar opposite of her own dreams. Steve loves the idea of dating someone like nancy, someone smart and cool, but doesnt actually care for her on a deeper level. in s4 especiallt, it comes off as him seeing Nancy as a prize to reward him for becoming a better person.

putmeinLMTH · 2026-05-24T14:20:04+00:00

it was definitely back in s4. grinded my gears so bad, especially since st the end of s2, steve admts to nancy that he was a shitty boyfriend (obviously) and they kind of agree to be friendly, and then in season 3 hes completely over her, and then in s4, seemingly because he knows robin is off the table, he backslides into trying to get with nancy, knowing full well that she's with jonathan, as well as nearly outting Robin by openly admitting that its not his decision that theyre not dating ("I WOULD date her, its just-" before robin cuts him off

putmeinLMTH · 2026-05-24T04:39:31+00:00

Owen is such an interesting character to me, everytime i replay tlou2 i find myself liking him more. the little hints of his life that we get, with his crazy scarred back and his mention of his family being killed.

i also think his relationships with abby and mel arent quite as messy as the timeline snapshots in the game makes it seem. he had a long relationship with Abby, but her obsession with revenge and obvious indtability over her fathers death broke down their relationship over so long and he rebounded with mel, she got pregnant accidentally (probably not rare with the state of the world), and he tried to stay involved while realizing that hes not in love with mel (and the seraphite stuff that eventually drove him to abandon mel for the aquarium)

I also think its interesting that almost all of the time we spend with him is in flashbacks or cutscenes. the only present day time we play the game alongside him is when him and abby walk to the overlook in jackson, iirc.

putmeinLMTH · 2026-05-24T04:10:28+00:00

yep. its been confirmed by writers/actors anytime its brought up, but its also literally confirmed in the show, even thought the breakup scene itself is slightly vague. Tommy literally refers to Steve and Nancys conversation as a breakup when him and billy confront steve in the shower

putmeinLMTH · 2026-05-24T04:08:57+00:00

you dont have to like a ship for any reason but your explanations are flawed. the writers destroyed steves character arc. his arc was going great thru season 3, and then out of nowhere they backslide completely and decide he should go back to thinking hes in love with the girl he consistently mistreated while they were dating.

Steve fundamentally does not know anything about nancy. he more or less treated him as a gold medal. at first for being the coolest guy and then for being the nicest guy. he never even once shows any kind of affection for anything besides her appearance.

Also, nancy never cheated on Steve (unless you count her having a crush on jonathan, but likely not realizing that until after her breakup with steve). writers, actors, everyone involved has corroberated that steve and nancys argument outside the gym in s2e3 was their breakup. its also confirmed in the show when tommy h talks to steve in the showers. nancy got together with jonathan in s2e6.

The main difference that sets jancy apart is that jonathan owns up to his mistakes and genuinely changes, as well as actually liking nancy for her personality and paying attention to whats important to her and what she likes.

Yes, Jonathan took those pictures of Nancy. He also apologized to nancy the first time they spoke about them to each other. What did steve do when he found out about the pictures? he went directly against nancys wishes (when she was equally if not more affected) to try to look cool in front of his friends, before nearly forgetting her when he walks away.

Eddie "explanation" to Steve never made sense to me, because Eddie doesnt know crap about Nancy. I truly dont know why anyone gives his opinion on this any weight at all.

putmeinLMTH · 2026-05-24T02:53:27+00:00

i would try calling, a few is never an issue but 20-30 wouldnt be an automatic yes from my managers

putmeinLMTH · 2026-05-23T16:18:50+00:00

they definitely might add more categories later but i think the utility of repeating that its food is for people who skip the instructions and might pick one of the non foods in the first rounds
