let's turn the dial down the shtick a bit tonight
good work, my man
He's always so pumped and excited (especially after Hanukkah and Christmas, obviously) and I just want to run around with him 'til he's exhausted and then read a book at him 'til he passes out :P
I don't know what happened, but on first scan I read "good work, my ham" and I thought that was the greatest term of endearment I'd ever heard
HOW THE FUCK is a first year expansion team so good?!!
I'm glad to see they're doing well
As much as Vegas is a silly place for a hockey team, if they can get off to a good start they'll be able to market themselves as a viable alternative attraction for weirdos who go to Vegas :P
The tight control over Pokemon is one of the exceptions to the general tone of media in that regional space, yeah. They've overtly restricted fan-articulations of the IP in a way that's definitely more consistent with "Western" approaches to ownership. But even so, if you look at Pokemon what you mostly see is a multiplicity of articulations of a set of common affective elements outside a singular, ontological perspective on how these things belong
Media satiation in this space is less about limiting and more throwing a lot of stuff out there (a huge increase of which emerged in the late-1990s as technologies and distributions changed) and seeing what sticks; the vast majority of IP are barely profitable, and rely on a small base of dedicated fans to push them into the black.
I really loved In Bruges but years of comic reading have left me somewhat gunshy about UK/Irish writers/artists/filmmakers' hot takes on middle America. Regardless of how talented they are - and there's no denying that Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, Garth Ennis et al are talented - it often feels like watching someone paint something they've never actually seen, but only had described to them second-hand.
But, like I said, I loved In Bruges and I love Frances McDormand so I would like to hear that the movie is good.

Were we ever so young, @Jacobkosh ?
Nah, I just started off with 2 the other day because I hadn't looked at it since I beat it nearly 30 years ago and I remembered very little about it. I liked it enough to finish again, so I thought I'd move on to 3, which I owned on NES and got pretty far into but never finished. I kind of want to settle that old score. I don't really have a strong attachment to the idea of the series as a whole, though, partly because as the installments get more modern the graphics get better which means everything looks more like Akira Torayama's art, which has never done anything for me.
I respect this opinion so much
I want to see it, but it's not scheduled for my market yet, even though they showed some previews at the Drafthouse when I went a while back. The previews look really great though. Definitely a movie I'd want to go to with a friend or two, so we could pub afterwards and discuss the film.
Other launch providers too, sometimes! >_>
They're just worse about a) providing clear schedules and / or b) launching, period
ULA with their staggering eight launches this year, or the ESA with 9 (although I do love both of their launch vehicles, and I'm excited for the next generation too!)
Really if I could get better (and English) livestreams of Russian and Chinese launches, those would be fun to cover
Soyuz still does the Korolev Cross and everything!
(warning: stuff about suicide)
so, she is an extremely heavy drinker. she's come over half a dozen times now or so, and every time she's drunk to extreme excess. not only loud and shrieky (when i live in an apartment) but also sometimes belligerent to him, and also she'd get so drunk she'd stumble around topless, she'd throw up etc. so he comes to me basically, let me know if she's too much. the first couple times i was like eh, i don't like binge drinking but as long as the volume is controlled it's not a huge deal to me? if i bring a girl over i wanna be able to have loud sex so fine roommate, just try to keep it somewhat under control. and to my roommate's credit, he has tried. he tries to have her drink less, he shh's her constantly, he never is an active participant when she wants to scream at him. but eventually it happened frequently enough (literally every time she was over) that last night i tell him yeah, i've hit my limit. i don't want a screamy, barely-conscious girl passing out naked in her vomit in my apartment. good timing, as i also learn she has been suicidal in the past. whatever my own struggles, i don't want someone in crisis in my home unless they're me :P
so my roommate goes yeah i get it, no problem. i'm probably gonna break things off because i can't handle it anymore either. we leave it at that and i go to sleep thinking- hmm maybe they'll still be friends, i don't mind if she comes over occasionally so long as she isn't drinking etc. we'll talk about it tomorrow.
i just got home from work and found out after i went to sleep she swallowed a bottle of pills. he freaked out and took her to the hospital with her screaming NO JUST TAKE ME HOME SO I CAN DIE IN MY BED. he gets her to the hospital and i guess due to her prior experiences with psychiatric inpatient stuff, she literally sprinted away and the cops had to go get her. pumped her stomach. my roommate-
really just her fuck buddy, having recently decided to break it off, but trying to be a friend- has never been through anything like this. he hasn't even had to hold anyone's hair, he's not a party bro at all.
never been with anyone in crisis. he's trying to figure out how to contact her family (whose contact information he doesn't have) while she refuses to unlock her phone because she doesn't want her family to know. she lives with her family and has no car so he was at the hospital, practically hostage half the morning. called out of work for the first time in his life.
my thoughts are primarily with her of course, but i can't help but be proud of my roommate. from refusing to have sex with her when she's drinking heavily to handling all this on his own i am like, gj bruh.
sad stuff.
@Evil Multifarious @Powerpuppies
It's on my list. I do want to see it very badly.
I have not, I've been waiting to hear more reactions on it.
They wouldn't alter that deal, would they?
I mean I guess the raptors can keep holding out for that mythical great player they've always heard about or they can show some love to the guy who brought relevance to their franchise for the first time

This is a dark and terrible science
That really sucks, chu. I'm glad he's trying to do the right thing by her.
Damn that is a tough situation I am too familiar with

here's my 2 cents on this topic:
the character arts are the one mediocre thing in Chrono Trigger for me just because I just...don't like that style
Rirruto?
