if a fae asks for your name and you give them your deadname does that mean youโ€™re free to pick up your chosen name from there on or are you just nameless forever no reason haha but please answer quickly

you could never make me spend 80 dollars on a video game honestly

450 for a console is a price id be willing to put savings towards to get eventually in theory. but if the games are gonna be 80 dollars i just dont think its worth it. nintendos unparalleled levels of greed on display have turned me off beyond belief. pay money to play enhanced versions of games you already own on the new console. pay 70 for a digital game and 10 dollars more for physical. pay 80 for this digital game code so you can download the game. spend money on the tech demo. like be so fr right now

our roommate's car, the car that takes me to work a couple times week, has been impounded. we need $200 to fix the problem that got it impounded and $18 a day for the impound storage fee for however long it takes to get it out. if anyone can help

ok it ended up costing $400 more than we expected because of a ticket and having to get a new battery on top of the $200 impound fee, and so we're down an entire person's share on the rent, which is. due immediately

$40/400

$118/

thank you!

may have to send in the check and hope we get enough before it's processed

$318/

!!

oh rob i was thinking, what are your fav toku theme songs?? i feel like PR fans are always talking about theme song comparisons and i havent seen much theme song talk for the rest of toku. on my end i feel like i got it pretty good having boonboomger and kingoh as my first sentais, theme song wise, i enjoyed both those themes a lot

this really is the hardest question in the world for me because there's an infinite number of toku bangers and even the ones im cooler on usually win me over eventually. could never do a true ranking, but if i had to pick three from each of the Big Ones this is what im feeling at the moment

Sentai

  • Choujin Sentai Jetman (x) - jetto jetto jettoman ^_^ i will never get it out of my head, or my heart
  • LUCKYSTAR (Kyuranger) (x) - embarrassing but i think i teared up the first time i heard this lmao. i just love space
  • Ore Koso Only One (Donbrothers) (x) - DON DON DON DON DON DON DON ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ‘น๐Ÿถ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰

Rider

  • Justiฯ†'s (555) (x) - asking "Can You Feel?" before every episode of faiz is a cruel joke but it's one of the best
  • Switch On! (Fourze) (x) - songs to get you pumped enough to kick your evil principal in the face!!!!!!
  • We Think, Therefore We Are (Ghost) (x) - the amount of times i've seen this on worst toku theme lists... i DON'T understand

Ultraman

  • True Fighter (Orb: The Origin Saga) (x) - this spinoff sucked ass but it gave me this song so i will forgive it. no i won't.
  • Hands (R/B) (x) - great song on its own but gets boosted in the rankings because i just miss r/b sooooo much
  • arc jump'n to the sky (x) - i haven't seen ultraman arc yet but takami hiroyuki's weird nasally singing has bewitched me ever since he played a villain in kamen rider ex-aid, so when he was announced for this i lost it

google translate defaulting to chinese at first

okay but for those of us with interests in both the murderbot and the daomu biji fandoms this is kinda hilarious

(english-side-only really, i get that the kanji and hanzi are completely different)

our good (air)ship murderbot! thanks google

i know so many people have asked for the s9 neon hair colors to be added for players to use, and i've been on the fence about it, but i've decided that they should add a second aesthetician in solution nine, so it's only unlockable after you get to dawntrail, who can dye your hair those colors.

PROS:

  • maintains immersion
  • makes unlocking them super exciting because you've had to wait so long for it
  • makes use of one of the many empty buildings in s9
  • potential fun new character to complement jandelaine

CONS:

  • people would complain sooooooooooo bad about not being able to do it from level 1

ghost stories are alarmingly easy to spread tbh

when I was like ten I was walking back from the chip shop near my gran's house with a neighbour and we took a short cut down an alley which was enclosed by garages except for one part which was wire fenced and led to the electricity shack

and while I was walking I chucked a chip over the fence. the girl walking with me, C, reasonably asks why I did that

"oh, don't you know?" I say, as if I'm not equally out of my own loop

she shakes her head. the enclosed alleyway has no streetlights. it's after dark. the shack is isolated in the distance.

"a little girl who lived up on the court climbed the fence once on a dare. she went up to the shack and touched it, but there was a wire sticking out, and when she touched it, she got electrocuted and died, right there. if you come back in the daylight, you can still see the black mark."

[editor's note: the court was the smaller road off the side of the crescent, which was the one C's family and my gran lived on. the houses there were slightly more expensive and newer, almost all occupied by wealthy commuters to the city, where most of the crescent houses were occupied by retirees and locals who worked on the trading estate. naturally, crescent kids hated the court. houses there got bricked about once a month.]

"no she didn't," C says

I made up this story for absolutely no reason and with no plan, but I'm not gonna back down now. "sure she did. and if you go past on your way back from the shops and you don't leave her an offering, she'll follow you home through the streetlights. one flickers behind you, then the next, then the next, until you get home. and then the lights start to flocked inside the house. even if you turn out all the electrics before bed, it'll be too late. she's inside. and you'll wake up on the night and see her, and she'll be so awful to see it'll stop your heart."

[editor's note: the streetlights always flickered. this was because our neighbour monkey george kept setting the junction boxes on fire]

"I never did before and she never followed me home!"

"do you come down the alley after dark? or do you take the main road with the streetlights?" I knew she didn't use the shortcut, because I'd been the one to talk her into it that night. she was three years younger than me and scared of the dark.

C claims not to believe me, but she throws a chip over the fence too, and walks the rest of the way looking over her shoulder. I get to pride myself for the night on being good at scary stories, and don't think much more about it.

fast forward six or seven years. I'm back in town. I'm on my way back from the chip shop, taking the same shortcut home. ahead of me on the road are a couple of kids I vaguely recognise as old playmates' younger siblings.

they stop, and I watch one fish out three sweeties from the pack they're sharing. they take one each and throw them over the fence. they carry on walking.

I realise that this is probably my fault, as are any resulting pest control issues around the old electricity shack.

when I get to the fence, I throw a chip over.
