Lurker > p-m

I've been on this site for 16 years, I'm 29.

I made a friend this year and it's really weird for me, I've had plenty of romantic relationships but never had friendship as an adult. He's a friend of my fiancee and it's turned out we get on really well and have a lot of similar interests. I've never known how to make friends up until now and I've been very lonely and isolated. Even online I struggle because I'm a bit too emotional and open compared to everyone else. Good luck making friends tc.

apparently kissing is considered cheating

yeah no shit of course it's cheating

I loved it. I've seen the first anime film but that's it. I do have the manga waiting to be read.

Settled for 15, instead of 10 or 20. I think it gives more space to be properly representative of a person's taste without requiring too much effort.

mine is

The Tree of Life
Mekong Hotel
Dario Argento's Dracula
To the Wonder
It's Such a Beautiful Day
A Field in England
The Duke of Burgundy
Cemetery of Splendour
Crimson Peak
Antiporno
24 Frames
The Fate of the Furious
Hanagatami
First Reformed
Long Day's Journey Into Night

I'd put The Tree of Life as number one, everything else is unranked.

I don't think Duncan should be using the internet unsupervised tbh.

Don't you or didn't you live apart from your wife and child so you can focus on your career?

10.something

Planescape: Torment enhanced edition. Absolutely worth it, shaping up to be a new favourite game for me.

Most definitely not. It's incredibly fake and aimed at manipulating losers.

Who chooses to buy them? I dont feel sorry for primarily white adults that fucked their lives up getting addicted to opioids for the same reasons I dont feel sorry for adults that choose to fuck their body up by eating carb, starch, sugar, vegetable oil drenched garbage in conjunction with zero exercise.

Because you lack empathy and decency.

Cool, lets talk about the facts. Denmark has less regulatory burden in regards to their healthcare system compared to the clusterfuck in the United States. Denmarks population is arguably in better physical shape than the United States due to diet and exercise which is also an external factor that needs to be considered when driving down costs, as Americans 1970s-present suffer from many diseases and illness that couldve been prevented with better eating and exercise. Denmark despite having universal healthcare, still do have a private sector for healthcare.

Bernie and Warren are calling for a complete dismantle of the current health system, throwing millions of people under the bus, and are calling for a complete overhaul and nationalization of the entire healthcare industry that we cannot afford for a variety of reasons.

I know you're a troll account but can you not try a little harder than irrelevantly bringing up Denmark all the fucking time.

I'm sorry did he say we should improve society somewhat or did he make the ridiculous claim that capitalism is failing and killing us, and then call for an economic revolution? Stop advocating for shit that's killed millions and people will stop calling you out.

Capitalism has likely killed more people in the last 10 years than socialism/communism ever has.

The tablet? I use mine for reading comics mostly

I have my phone set to it. Am/pm is lame.

Digital devices are usually set to it by default.

I get frequent fungal infections in my left armpit, nothing seems to prevent it and it's insanely itchy.

There's something unethical about endless profit especially when the people profiting often aren't the same people who put the hard work in.

Animal Crossing is the only one I'm interested in. Second most anticipated game for me after Cyberpunk 2077.

Watched The Adventure of Sudsakorn (1979), Thai animated film that has some really cool moments and would look great if properly restored. Sadly it's only available in vhs quality without English subtitles.

i hope this ruins kojima and he never makes another piece of media again the egotistical little bitch

Why do you hate originality in games design?

Godzilla Final Wars: Totally insane and I loved it.

Next is the other boxset. I think Godzilla vs Space Godzilla comes up first.

Awesome, I'm slowly watching through the entire Godzilla series for the first time and other associated Toho Kaiju movies. Looking forward to getting to the really crazy stuff.

Cemetery of Splendour. I'd place it in the lower tier of Apichatpong Weerasethakul's filmography, but it's still really fantastic. Has a very hypnotic quality to it, especially scenes with the color changing lights.

Planning on watching An Elephant Sitting Still next, but time is scarce. Been caring for my sister who has been extremely sick the last week. Hope you enjoy Extraordinary Stories. I'm excited to see the director's most recent film.

I really enjoyed Cemetery of Splendour, I've been thinking about watching it a second time. I think my favourite Weerasethakul is Blissfully Yours or maybe Tropical Malady.

An Elephant Sitting Still is really good, hits like a ton of bricks emotionally though. That sucks about your sister, hope things improve. I spend a lot of time caring for my partner who is mostly bedbound, so most of my film watching is done on a tablet sat next to her instead of on the big living room tv. I've just about adjusted to it. Extraordinary Stories was pretty good, first time I've ever really struggled to keep up with subtitles in a film so I missed some stuff. For something so unusual in structure it certainly had a real sense of fun, I like that when it comes to more experimental things.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

I might try to see Knives Out later this week, but I'm not sure yet.

Definitely going to watch Once Upon a Time in Hollywood this week

Some pornos from the 70s and 80s have great plots and cinematography, it's a lost art.

Absolutely not. I get a lot of hostility from strangers due to not having a job, especially when they find out I'm not looking for one due to being physically and mentally ill. Then they usually try to tear apart and dismiss my disabilities as if it's any of their business. Can almost guarantee someone will try it in this topic

There's been a few topics like this, hoping to keep one going for awhile.

I watched The Last Unicorn last night, it was pretty good. The animation was great and the characters were well developed for a kids film, seemed to be a coming of age thing going on. Sort of thing I wish I'd seen as a child.

I'm about to watch Extraordinary Stories, it's around 4 hours long and I've heard good things about the way the plots work. (3 stories, I think)

Tie between alt-right and anti-vaxxers as they're the ones that actively kill innocent people.

The Witcher 3 and Nier Automata are significantly better than any games released in previous generations, so I think that alone makes this the best gen.

The women sound like they're in pain to the point it becomes funny.

Absolutely not. I've never laid a hand on my child and she's polite and well behaved, it's totally unnecessary and a sign of a bad parent.

Cate is getting catenip tonight

Planescape. I just started it today on pc and I'm loving it, tried it as a young teenager but didn't make it out of the first building you start in. Never heard much about Icewind Dale.

I know that. I thought it was obvious that this is a joke topic

Not really, it's a pretty common thing to say online with no hint of being in on the joke. Similar to certain comic book fans reading Watchmen and coming away admiring Rorschach and the Comedian.

The purpose of the character of Ron Swanson is to show how stupid the alpha male persona is. How can you not get that?

13th floor elevators were a fucking amazing band

Yeah, I got back into reading this year. I'd barely read any books since I was 18, just couldn't concentrate on them. Getting lots read now.

Throne room fight, salt planet, Luke's character development, space Leia, Admiral Holdo, the ramming sequence, pretty much everything in fact. It's my favourite Star Wars film and made me excited for the series in a way I hadn't felt since I was a kid.

Always find the wording when it comes to this kind of thing very odd. Why is it called living at home, don't most people live at home? And living with family could easily mean wife and kids.

Why is the question why are so many people on meds and not why are so many people anxious or depressed? One seems very critical and close to anti-psychiatry Scientology mumbo jumbo and the other is being concerned for your fellow human.

nah he did the same stuff on his izual account

lmao this isn't izual

I had a kid, planned, when I was 22 so posts like this puzzle me.

Junji Ito's works have a very appealing aesthetic. I enjoy all his stuff on a surface level. Really good at building a very eerie atmosphere/world. However, and maybe I misunderstand, but I thought he was a horror manga artist. I find nothing in particular of his scary. Definitely manages to make me feel uncomfortable but at most it's just that. To be fair I don't think I've felt anything more from any manga.

I don't think you understand what horror is supposed to be.

But, hey, they're not for everyone. Get yourself a cat. Same companionship with a fraction of the noise.

My cat makes way more noise than any dog I've ever lived with

Cut into triangles?

Free Fire is very funny and well made

l read that a couple of weeks ago. It's really good, darkly funny and very disturbing. I wrote some blog posts about it trying to review it but just ended up writing weird poetry.

also lol at this:

Brewing the tea
Even very slightly formal events can be a cause for cups and saucers to be used instead of mugs. A typical semi-formal British tea ritual might run as follows (the host performing all actions unless noted):[69]
1. The kettle is brought to a rolling boil (with fresh water to ensure good oxygenation which is essential for proper diffusion of the tea leaves).[70]
2. Enough boiling water is swirled around the teapot to warm it and then poured out.
3. Add loose tea leaves (usually black tea) or tea bags, always added before the boiled water.
4. Fresh boiling water is poured over the tea in the pot and allowed to brew for 2 to 5 minutes while a tea cosy may be placed on the pot to keep the tea warm.[71]
5. A tea strainer is placed over the top of the cup and the tea poured in, unless tea bags are used. Tea bags may be removed, if desired, once desired strength is attained.
6. White sugar and milk (in that order) may be added, usually by the guest. (Milk may be put in the cup before the tea: see below.)
7. The pot will normally hold enough tea so as not to be empty after filling the cups of all the guests. If this is the case, the tea cosy is replaced after everyone has been served. Hot water may be provided in a separate pot, and is used only for topping up the pot, never the cup.

This is madness, no one does this

Hercules (1983) starring Lou Ferrigno is awesome. Super cheesy, but great fun.

This one looks like my kind of thing, planning on watching it tomorrow night.

See if you can survive the Kevin Sorbo movies.

I've got the urge to watch those and the series, also Xena Warrior Princess
