Have you watched What We Do In The Shadows? Because I loving loved What We Do In The Shadows, movie and TV series both.
Normally I would have been bummed that the cast from the movie isn't in the show, since the movie was so fun.

But the show is loving great too! I just assumed the show couldn't make it without Jemaine Clement but I decided to give it a chance because of Matt Berry and oh poo poo everyone in the show is so drat good at being a goofy out-of-place vampire :xd:

i dont have PMs so i have to make a personal post, sorry. re: my post, "i wish i was dead." any psychologist could tell you there is a world of difference between a desire to not live anymore and an intention to inflict self-harm. i wish i was not alive. this is not a joke, and no more keenly can i feel it than when my even-more-shut-in-than-me roommate keeps watching WWE in the common area and i have to see and hear it.

i don't mean to "get worked up over a sixer," i was planning to go to bed anyway. and there's no hard feelings, moddings hard, but i see the way the wind is blowing and i dont want to get banned and pay another $10 again. and i've not been having much fun here lately. so im outta heah! get me on steam if you want to chat: WalterWhiteIRL. or on cspam maybe

I am going to add you on steam and be friendly to you until you get sick of it! I will probably also read your posts in c-spam depending on what thread you see, but I will not be posting there.

I am glad you do not want to self-harm but I think it is good you are not dead because otherwise I could not see your posts. A dead man posts no tales.

Every time you leave, this place is worse for it~

I got my wife a cool carved skull but it's been stuck in customs for a week and I'm not sure it will arrive before the 25th despite exorbitant fees for express shipping. I'll never buy anything that's shipped by DHL again.

Those look really cool but yeah, I deal with US CBP a lot and bringing in an actual animal skull is definitely going to.... pique their interest.

The site says "we have all the legal papers necessary so there will be no problem in importing these skull carvings in your country" so I would get in touch with them. Either someone at Skullbliss hosed up in providing the necessary documentation, or DHL somehow failed to clear customs properly, neither of which is acceptable (especially around holiday season when timeliness is so important)

My girlfriend has never watched a Star Wars movie, ever. Which is sort-of amazing to me because, like, how? That poo poo is everywhere!

I haven't seen any of the more recent movies, after watching the prequel trilogy, I came to the conclusion that my interest in Star Wars is basically "space and aliens and lasers and poo poo are cool!" and that the sum total of characters I actually liked was:
-Han Solo
-Darth Vader

And then the prequels did a good job of making Darth Vader retroactively suck rear end so now I just like Han Solo. And they made a Han Solo movie but I hear it was very bad? So no more Star Wars. There are other options for cool space poo poo.

I haven't played pokemon in well over a decade, do you have 20 snorlaxes because there are 20 spots where they fell asleep on a path you need, so you have to wake them up with a flute?

coconono posted:

in the new game you can do what are called MAX RAIDS, which is a 4 player co-op dungeon featuring one bigass pokemon. Your team beats the pokemon to a pulp and you get a chance to capture it. Lately, all I've been getting are Snorlaxes and Magikarps. I think I've only caught one Snorlax in the wild and that's because he laughed at my bike. The raids are the only way to effectively farm for XP candies which are the fastest way to get new pokemons up to acceptable levels(i'm currently building a lvl70 team so I need lots of candies as I'm indecisive as gently caress).
OK I'm a little baffled that pokemon now has co-op RAIDS but I'm laughing at the idea that half your raids are against a magikarp, that owns. I guess it makes sense that so far you've faced the best pokemon and the worst pokemon :hai:

Around the time I found out that pokemon had breeding and that the best way to level pokemon was to have them fight specific other pokemon to grind up specific stats, I decided the series wasn't for me anymore.

Feb 22, 2004

This all sounds pretty cool, although the lack of chat (classic Nintendo there) is probably very frustrating. Do any of the classic pokemons get cool visual upgrades in dynamaxed mode, or is it just the newer ones? Obviously not Snorlax, as he is perfect :colbert:

It also explains why you're OK grinding for rare candies, with all those ways to work on stats, the disadvantages of shoving candy down your pokemons throat are probably mitigated. I remember finding out that Rare Candy was actually a bad thing because of the aforementioned stat-bonus hidden system, and as a guy who constantly tries to circumvent any grinding by even the cheesiest methods available, this was unacceptable to me.

After nearly nine years sober o can confirm this. Free time is the true drug.

Congrats! I am coming up on seven years very soon :)

Free time really is the best, and its such a revelation once you stop drinking/drugging that you basically had a 24/7 job on top of your 'normal' life. Now even when I'm "busy", it's not nearly as "busy" as it used to be. I have had a lot less free time lately due to things I can't cancel (legal stuff, death of loved ones, etc.) But plans you can cancel are just wonderful, and I support Foochs and anyone else who wants to cancel the thing they don't want to do.

I did get to sleep in on Sunday though, and hell yessssss i didn't do JACK poo poo and it felt great. Well, not entirely true; I did finish the final episode of Golden Girls.
