I don't know, that sounds like a made up gotcha rule from a pessimist leaving a movie theater. It's been repeated forever, but based on nothing but the word of people in miserable relationships.

I'm not in abstinence, but for a while I felt like I was drinking too often. I happen across these posts on occasion, and I thought I could give a tip for someone who may be looking to quit entirely.

While not getting wasted or anything, for a while I had found myself having a few drinks three or four nights a week at what I consider my most out of control period. Then a few months ago, I got treated for adult ADHD, and suddenly I don't really care about alcohol anymore. It's like overnight I lost my interest, and now only drink socially on occasion.

It's well documented that alcoholism is comorbid with many mental disorders, sometimes to cope or self medicated. So if anyone out there is struggling hard with a substance, it may be helpful to get your head checked out by a professional if you haven't yet. Not necessarily a miracle cure, but possibly a good place to start if you have the means.

As an aside, I also quit binge eating, phoning out, and putting off tasks.

That's not wrong then. 4 times is more than double.

I kind of wish they went with the original shitty design. It would have helped my cause.

I'm convinced if you don't love the sonic movies, you missed the whole point.

You can't make a good sonic film. It's a stupid concept with no nuance or reality, and has a plot of bad guy hates fast animal.

So someone made the movies so absurdly stupid that they're good again. I've been playing sonic since I was 3, from the original until now. The only thing I wanted from a sonic movie was unrelated product placement, ham fisted sensitive scenes, Jim Carrey doing whatever he fucking feels like, and forced olive garden.

The first movie legit gets one more star for every olive garden ad. Then the second cast fucking Idris Elba as knuckles and had a character referred to as the olive garden guy.

Absolute genius. It could never be great, so go for absurdism.

I'm very discerning with media in general, and it has to be worth my time if I'm going to watch it. I love movies you discover more in on every rewatch, and can get in to solid discussions about character motives or possible themes. But you have to know what you're getting into. Some movies are definitely just bad and not worth watching, but others have a goal and meet it.

I've had superhero fatigue since about 2005, but that being said, a friend wanted to watch Venom with me a few weeks ago. It's not a good movie, but I wasn't not entertained.

I never played Spyro growing up, so I don't have the nostalgia boner for it, but my partner did. Watching them play it was infuriating. The difficulty in the first three games is based entirely on the controls being dogshit.

They're still making dead cells. And if they ever stop, a bundle with all the dlc would be welcome.

I think the re2+3 remakes are great games, but I don't think they're better than the originals. 3 especially felt really cut and dumbed down compared to it's source. I think I put 40 hours into the original story, and beat the remake in about 6.

A whole ass article and web page that can be summed up in three words:

It was cheaper
