  1. bad stuff thread.

    It's better to say something than suffer in silence though, dude. I feel you, mate. If you did want a bit of a chat or something, I'm here. I have Discord now as well and know a bit better on how to work it than I did before, haha.
  2. The Disney Thread

    And then someone sings "I am Moana, tu?"
  3. I am a huge reader. I absolutely love my Kindle Paperwhite and I read more or less every night without fail. I've just currently finished reading 13 Reasons Why and I'm really conflicted with whether I liked it or not, mainly because of how I felt about Hannah Baker. Currently, I'm reading 7 Days in Hell by Iseult Murphy and The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley. Any readers in the house? What are you reading? Oh and if you have Goodreads, add me!
  4. The Traitors

    I have two episodes left...I think...
  5. General Movie Thread

    I nearly always go by myself and I love it. It's literally a bit of me-time. If I go with someone, they have to be like-minded and there's only two people who are the same as me. I hate being interrupted during a movie with stupid shit. Reactions are cool but I hate running commentaries where someone tells you what just happened 3 seconds after you've just seen it on screen.
  6. The Traitors

    I didn't mind the US one. At least there was a bit of personality there. The first Australian one was great. The traitors in that season were awesome. Our one feels rather vanilla compared. They're starting to liven up a little though but honestly, it's blatantly obvious who the traitors would be apart from Harry and the vet. Paul is non-stop smirking and smarmy. Not a big fan.
  7. The Traitors

    So I'm late to the party and I haven't read a thing as I've only started watching it. The US one has kind of taken over for me and the new Australian one is a bit meh. I'm hoping our one gets better because they're bland and too friendly at the moment and it's very petty. Like "I think you're a traitor because you breathe oxygen and that's a red flag"...come on! Although it needs to be said that the editing in the show is a bit weird. Like I'm on episode 3 and someone is getting voted off and before they reveal who they are, they end the episode on the cliffhanger...why? We know their alliances, we know they're getting booted off...what's the cliffhanger for?
  8. General Movie Thread

    I have seen the worst movie of 2023 in my opinion: Sumotherhood. It just wasn't funny and it felt rather dated. Every character was annoying and loud for the sake of cheap laughs that didn't hit most of the time. A couple of scenes were pretty funny but then became too long and instantly became bland. I think this might've been funny in the early or later 2000s but in 2023, I don't think it works...
  9. So the one I have is "ramen noodles". I put it in boiling water and then microwave for 5 minutes, basically. It's like Pot Noodle but honestly has a different texture and tastes better. I just wasn't sure if it was wise to have it for lunch every day. I've just been fed up with soups and salads and wanted something different. I did have some frozen meals but thought I'd try something different. I picked them up and they've kept me full. I'll have a look at maybe looking into making salads more interesting. It's getting colder though so preferably something warm would be better.
  10. So I'm trying to find cheaper lunches with less calories. I've tried instant noodles for the past few days and I love it (none of their seasoning, just a splash of soy sauce). My question is would this be terrible for you health-wise? Right now, it's the one thing that's keeping me full that doesn't make me snack so I'd like to have it but I'm unsure...
  11. good stuff thread.

    So I've been asked to be something I'd never dream I'd ever be asked but here we are. I've been asked to be a Godfather. I'm off to change my name to Don Corleone now 😂 Seriously though, like I don't know how this works because I'm not religious and they're aware of this but they said I'd be perfect and they really want me to do it. I also don't know what it is I need to do. Like, I've been to a Christening once and it was about 2 hours of talking and then they just stood up and was like "I do" when asked...is that all there is? Do I need to sign or fill anything in? Do I have to be religious? Like, it's so nice being asked and I'd love to do it...
  12. I'm not even kidding. Me during that final episode of Demon Slayer! I was on an emotional rollercoaster with it. Death Note is still the greatest anime show I've seen so far but Demon Slayer was amazing. I decided on watching Psycho Pass now. I'm on episode 5 and I am HOOKED! I'm on the whole chatroom episodes and it's got me on the edge of my seat! The new movie is in cinemas in August so I hope I can watch them all by then!
  13. The Traitors

    Nah, she played that cool. She knew the game inside out. I respected that. Heck, I even remember who it even was and I forgot the other winner in the Australian one (I watched it but forgot to post about it here. I'll wait until you've all finished)
  14. Threads

    I've tried to do this as someone told me about this but I was able to deactivate Threads and still keep IG
  15. Threads

    So has anybody given this a go yet? I have. It's pretty clean. It's got the similarities of Twitter but it still feels like Instagram in a way. I actually like it!
  16. The good news is that most of the soreness is gone. It's when I bend back that I feel it now. I touched my toes sitting down and had no pain. Stood and did it and no pain. Twisted both ways and got nothing. I just feel a soreness bending back so it's not 100% yet. I'm hoping it'll be fine after a couple of days.
  17. It's been over 3 days now. It feels better than it did though. I still feel it but it's definitely improving. I woke up this morning and didn't feel it so much. I've done what you've said and it helped. I've done walking and put a hot water bottle on it and that helped. I hate massages though (I know, I'm weird). I was told by a couple of people who are a pharmacist and a nurse to "stagger" paracetamol with ibuprofen so I might try that. It's weird because I've been told the same thing about touching toes but I have the urge to to see if it's gone 😂 the stretching has helped so much appreciated for that advice.
  18. Radox weirdly doesn't work with me. I've tried different ones before and it doesn't touch me. I've been putting in ibuprofen gel and was told to do some stretches too. I've just woke up now and it's like a stiffness. I remember having this before but I completely forgot about it. It's supposed to take a couple of weeks to get over but I'm like 😒 because I'm already over it! 😅
  19. I did rather heavy deadlifts and a 3 hour bike ride on Sunday. On Sunday, I was okay but from Monday, my lower back was aching. Like a DOMS-sort of ache. It's okay walking and stuff but if I pick something up from the ground or slouch or something, I feel it (if it makes sense). It's worse when I wake up because I sleep in the same position for hours. I haven't felt that in ages. You guys have any advice on how to recover quick from it? I'm going to take a couple of days away from working out.
  20. Fast & Furious Franchise

    Saw this yesterday. Very far-fetched, very dumb, very action-packed...and I bloody loved it! It's typical Fast and Furious doing what it does best and it's very aware. One of the better sequels purely because it's fun.
  21. I have saved all of these! Cowboy Bebop, Psycho Pass and Full Metal Alchemist are something I hear people talk about. Ace Attorney was something I found too. How Heavy Are Your Dumbbells looks fun too. I'm not sure what to watch next after Demon Slayer...reminding me of... Mugen Train was amazing but I wasn't prepared for the last episode!!! 😔 The Dragon Ball thing is so confusing. Everyone has a different way to start watching and it's so confusing yet people find it confusing following Kingdom Hearts?! 🤣
  22. I am new to anime really. I've watched Death Note, Deadman Wonderland, the first season of Attack on Titan and Studio Ghibli movies, if you count them. I've just got Crunchyroll Premium purely because of Demon Slayer, which I am in love with right now. I'm halfway through Mugen Train era and it is amazing! Can you guys recommend any more I should watch? I like horror stuff mainly. I don't like transformers-type shows with robots flying around in space (I saw an episode of one and lost interest). I've saved Gantz, My Hero Academia, Mashle, One Punch Man and Chainsaw Man. I wanna get into Bleach and One Piece but find that they have hundreds of episodes pretty daunting! Dragon Ball is another I'd like to try but my God, there's so many series and spin-offs that I don't know where to even begin! 🤣
  23. Hogwarts Legacy

    Well, you can on enemies but you can't use it on random characters no matter how annoying they are...
  24. Hogwarts Legacy

    I've completed the main story, the side quests and got most of the collectables (I need 13 conjurations and 2 wand handles...I know this means nothing to you but it would to other people who have played this game) and unfortunately, you can't go round using the killing curse on anybody. I think the videos I've been watching are mods on the PC version of the game. I'm hopeful that they will bring out DLC for this as this has truly been one of the best games I have ever played and it's a crying shame that I've nearly completed it. I only have 5 trophies left to get and they're relatively easy. It's been absolutely unreal and it's been the first time in ages where I've been obsessed with a game and mindful of the time I've spent on it. I've let myself play it for about an hour or so a time and managed to clock up over 50 hours. I've very rarely used any guides (apart from the remaining collection chests as some of them have been a real bitch) and overall, it's been enjoyable. I've had people come up to me that have completed it in 30 hours and I just can't see how because there is just so much to do and explore and find that it would take a lot longer.
  25. General Movie Thread

    I watched Scream 6 over the weekend. Very easily my second favourite Scream movie. I was surprised at how great it was. It wasn't just gore and kills (although they were brutal) but the character development and story was actually quite strong too. I'd love to see this in 4DX.
