I was more of a DDR fan, but overall, I loved that era of rhythm-based games. Great times.

I don't see how the Skittles mention is any worse than Olive Garden in Sonic or Ihop in Man of Steel.

The "taste the rainbow" line was a bit much but these are kids. It would make sense they would pull something like that.

In Florida, yellow flies are the worst. They are much faster than mosquitos, harder to kill, have painful bites, and are not affected by pest control sprays or mosquito repellant. They don't even need to bite you like mosquitoes do. They just enjoy causing you misery.

Crocodiles are no joke. While alligators are usually pretty chill despite their bad reputation, crocodiles are assholes and will come after you unprovoked.

If Metroid Prime 4 manages to come out this holiday, it has a chance. Especially with how highly Metroid Prime games tend to rate.

Aren't those super expensive?

For reference, mine cost $6k to cover my receding hairline. They do offer care credit to pay it off in installments, and with care credit you usually get the first 1-3 years interest-free depending on what specials they have going on. The nice part about it is that the hair transplanted is guaranteed to live for life, so no worries about having to lose it again.

re: transplants, keep in mind they aren't an alternative. Most doctors will refuse to perform the procedure if you aren't already blocking DHT.

In my case they didn't even ask. They just recommended Finasteride to keep my non-transplanted hair healthy.

Seems like hair transplant would be another good option

I 100% recommend this. Did it for my receding hairline. Best investment I've ever made.

Works great for me for hair maintenance. Significantly slowed hair loss, and my hair grows much faster. According to my hair stylist, my hair grows twice as fast as the average person (based on time between cuts and inches grown). So it's great for keeping the hair you do have.

I've been taking it for three years and have experienced no side effects whatsoever.

I just did a recent re-watchthrough of the show, and my rankings are as follows:
3=2>1>4>6>5

The only change from my original watchthrough is that I can't decide if I like Season 3 or 2 more. Both keep switching around. And I'd put 1 up there with 3 and 2, honestly. For how grounded the show was in season 1, it still had the same feel as the next two seasons, just without all the gimmicks.

I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I like S4 more than 5 and 6. When I first watched the show, I had no idea about the Harmon drama, so I didn't have that lens to view it. Honestly, I felt it was almost as strong as Season 1, just without reaching its highs. There was a lot of character development that season, and the gimmick episodes were no more outlandish than the previous season. I was curious if anything would change on a rewatch knowing what I know now about its development, but nothing has changed. As another poster mentioned, there were some great character moments there, particularly with Pierce and Brita, Jeff and Pierce, and Abed with various cast members. I really think the only downside was the last string of episodes conveniently missing Pierce and the awkward way he was written out.

But none of that compares to what Season 5 did. I was perfectly fine leaving his ending in S4 the way it was. Though rushed, it worked. But they had to drag it out further with the one episode that anyone who saw it knows what I'm talking about. Despite some funny scenes, I didn't think it was necessary. The whole season itself just felt empty, with cast members leaving left and right and most of the plots not really building to anything.

Season 6 was okay, but it just didn't feel like Community anymore. It felt like a completely different show that just happened to share some of the characters (Abed even made a comment about this in one of the eps, about how the show is just phoning it in at this point). I'll agree that the new cast is what saved it from being worse than Season 5. But it still just didn't give me the same Community vibe as the first 4 seasons.

My biggest issue with the movie was that so much of it was underdeveloped due to trying to cram too much into it.

The one civilization was just there. They're were introduced and then had that clichd war scene making us root for them when I had no reason to care for them.

Bill Murray's character felt pointless and an afterthought. Why include him if we learn nothing about him and he just disappears without an explanation?

Our main cast got very little development. Scott and his daughter kinda had a plot going there but it felt very paint by numbers. Wasp was just there the whole movie, with a few action scenes here and there.

The cybernetic ants plot with Hank was probably the most interesting part of the movie. But they did so little with it. I would have loved to see that plot expanded more.

And the thing that disappointed me the most was the usage of the shrinking growing abilities this movie. Part of what made 1 and 2 fun was the unique and interesting ways they incorporated the shrinking technology, such as shrinking a building or the various stuff shrunk and grown during fight scenes. In this movie, I felt like they kept using the same shrink, launch, and grow into a punch move too many times without much creativity. Even Giant Man felt disappointing because scale was very hard to assess in this alien world. I really would have loved for them to find new ways to utilize the shrinking and growing technology in battle.

Was it true that in Shining Times Station the people actually rode inside the sentient trains?

I found Scary Movie 3 to be the best one. They toned down the sex and gross-out humor and put more emphasis on the plot (well, as much as a parody movie can). I thought it navigated the movies it was parodying very well, to the point where when I think of Signs, I tend to think of the Scary Movie version over the real one. It was just that memorable.

The movie had a few misses, but I thought most of the jokes landed and the movie had a satisfying conclusion for what it was.

It's hilariously awkward during the cutscenes, but it actually sounds kinda cool during the fight. Gives it a brawler, smash-bros vibe.

It looks neat, but as a first iterati9n, it could be riddled with issues. With Samsung, it took until the Z Fold 3 for them to make a foldable that was worth the high price tag. The Fold 3 fixed some of the major issues of 1 and 2, to the point that the 4 isn't even worth the upgrade over 3's major changes.

I'd need to see a few iterations of the Pixel Fold before I'd consider it.

When I used to own my laster tag center, I realized very quickly I would never become rich off of it. I had some great branding and franchising opportunities for a full recreational facility, but I realized I had to step on too many people to make it happen. Just to get our first facility the city had to kick out a mom and pop flea market that had been there for decades to give us the space (it was part of a grant program). Then I constantly gave discounts to our facilities to schools and nonprofits that couldn't afford to bring their kids to places like this. They would constantly tell me I was the only place in town that worked with them on pricing. No one else would budge. We also would gift certificates to foster agencies and such, which would end up booking times that otherwise would have gone to paid parties.

I realized quickly I cared too much about the impact of my business practices on the community (in capitalistic standards) to ever do what it took to become rich off of it. There were plenty of legal things I could have done to be super successful, but I just didn't feel right doing some of them.

This topic reminds me why I wasn't cut out to be a big-time entrepreneur.

yes OT is boring and hammy
ST is just bad
PT has same problems as OT but is marginally more interesting because the saber duels looks better than a fat kid in a garage using the family VHS recorder

These are my thoughts exactly.

I grew up with the PT, so it has nostalgia going for it. I never enjoyed the OT and found it boring, but I had no nostalgia for it when I saw it for the first time. The PT soundtrack and lightsabor duels are what won me over for it. Also pod racing. I just wasn't into Star Wars enough to get into arguments about why PT was so great like OT fans like to do.

Couldn't say I enjoyed the ST. Even the lightsabor duels were pretty boring.

Wow, my memory on this series is terrible. For some reason, I thought the movie sequence was in this order:

1. Honey, we shrunk ourselves
2. Honey, I shrunk the kids
3. Honey, I blew up the baby

Not only did I not realize that "we shrunk ourselves" was the third movie, but it was direct to video?
