Well I was a Geek in my high school equivalent. So that's a start.

you say that now.
The trick is to not stop because your body gets numb to it after a second. Doing small portions is more jarring.
Tho I'm having an issue with it cutting some of the hairs rather than pulling them out. Still gets the job done but that's kinda annoying

I had that too.
overall just not worth it. all methods of hair removal are annoying though so...
I once removed a fungus wart thing that was a couple millimeters beneath my skin and fixed my ingrown toenail myself cause the doctors didn't do it right. Pain is easy (so long as I'm in control of it)
Idk I've only used one
Definitely the best do it yourself thing tho. Shaving doesn't last more than a day or two before it's somewhat noticeable again. Will get that crap lasered off eventually tho

I go a couple weeks between using it. Hair that comes back up is less noticeable and softer so it's not too big of a deal to let it grow back a teeny bit.
The biggest issue is probably that it's more time consuming. It doesn't necessarily get every hair in one pass so you need to do it two or three times
My skin is really tough though so idk how it would be for delicate skin. I can dry shave using a razor with no irritation

But what's more sexy than wrapping your mouth around the head of a cock?
I'm so sorry.

Like, I take offense to that image.
nooooo
I thought you liked pain?
I like temporary pain. My muscles are all sore. Soreness isn't sexy really.

I never liked the Harry Potter movies but for some reason I felt the need to revisit the first one. it's actually charming.
I get that feeling during Christmas. I think my mind associates Harry Potter with Christmas because it used to have such a large presence in department stores during the holidays. I had a polyjuice potion maker at one point
I didn't grow up with harry potter like you guys did. I was 18 or 19 when the first one came out and it just looked like a movie about little kids to me. ¯\_(ツ_/¯
BTW Bloodstained is looking better than I thought it would. I may end up eating crow on this one

Same. I also read the first four books in the week before Christmas, so it adds to that.I get that feeling during Christmas.

Same with Lord of the Rings. Used to be tradition to watch one of the movies Christmas Eve while waiting to open presents.
Must not be too painful if it doesn't last

I understand how you may have gotten this impression. but seriously...the books are sooo good! I yet have to find another string of novels that has such impressive and believeable world building. they're my ultimate escapism instrument. plus a lot of themes and character arcs run way deeper than it meets the eye at first. of course they're still for children too but that's nothing bad imo.
I am okay with
hot wax
biting
hair pulling
slapping
that sort of stuff
I may be receptive to certain other things but "working out and getting sore" isn't really the same type of thing!
Okay, maybe I'll try watching the movies. I'm not against kid movies, honestly, I thought Zootopia was pretty great. The sloth part had me rolling.
I also consider Kiki's one of my favorite films and it's 100% kid friendly
tbh Rowling's too deterministic for my taste and I don't like how she deals with morality. So my favorites are the first four books when it is about little kids and this isn't quite apparent.
You can make it a bit more acceptable if you add in the whole Neville theory to mess with the idea of a prophecy. I don't mind if you know where things will end up if you can make the journey interesting enough and/or suspenseful. It's like that example of suspense that Alfred Hitchcock gives with the bomb under the dinner table.
Agreed. Though I wouldn't necessarily use those wordstbh Rowling's too deterministic for my taste and I don't like how she deals with morality. So my favorites are the first four books when it is about little kids and this isn't quite apparent.
The first four books were amazing escapism for a kid

The movies are decent, some better than others, but the books are a lot better imo.
Oh, I don't mean so much narratively as in the prophecy stuff but rather in how she views people's lives. Like the sorting houses. The biggest example would be how everyone in Slytherin except for Slughorn and almost everyone in Ravenclaw ended up not fighting in the Battle for Hogwarts. So on the one hand she's like "Slytherin isn't the evil house" except that it totally is.
Umm, rather, it's about kids learning about this new, curious world.Agreed. Though I wouldn't necessarily use those words

I was making a case for the books not the movies!
Oh god, you missed the better games Asylum and City!!!

I dunno mang. I read them all, but if we're honest here, JK Rowling is such a bad writer, it can be literally (ha) distracting at times. I do like the stories a lot, but tons of the books are all over the place when it comes to writing quality, narration, coherence, world logic and regular logic and mood.
idk. I like them, but I would never call them "sooo good" :/
edit: What Timu said. Asylum and City are grand. Especially Asylum.
I played and finished the first two. I got Arkham Knight and... Yeah. Ehhh. There's a lot of fatigue with the franchise for me. I may have made it through but the dealbreaker was the tank. I don't want to drive a tank. I don't want to shoot tank drones. I just want to be batman.
Batman is a detective. And maybe a bit of a ninja or something. He's not a tank commander. The whole tank thing was so tonally wrong for batman and so boring for the gameplay that I'm still in awe of it
ok please don't yell at me I'm still shaken up from my harrowing experience
I remember why Slytherin House was booted from the fight, by why Ravenclaw again?
He kinda did, granted it wasn't so much a heel turn as it was just bailing out.
By the way, Psychonauts is up on Humble Bundle E3 ticket if anyone wants it.
I played Asylum and City and that was enough for me. I don't tend to last long in franchises where the games play similarly. Only the Souls games keep me gripped.
Deathly Hollow spoilers:
He didn't give them up when he could have. He's redeemed in my eyes.
It sucks that we never really got to see how Sirius moved away from his toxic environment. That would have been an interesting way of going against the whole deterministic thing. But even then, he was already sorted into Gryffindor at a young age.
Maybe the whole Regulus thing.Because they weren't glorious Gryffindor or their Hufflepuff cheerleaders.
I have 4 audible credits sitting That's 4 books I could be "reading". I have perpetual decision paralyses there.
I've been seriously considering getting into Witcher 3 at last. I was watching my mom play it on twitch and it looked pretty dang fun.
And OMG DRAGON QUEST 7 ON 3DS LOOKS GOOD! <3
(Dragon Quest is one of my favorite all time franchises)

Well yeah but he was still with his family at the end. It's the kind of small progress that should have happened a book ago so we could see the payoff. Instead, you just assume he'll eventually rebel against his family and get into a decent career by himself. It's really an interesting story that happens all the time Irl but it's sad we didn't get the chance to witness itDeathly Hollow spoilers:He didn't give them up when he could have.

I've only read/seen the first Harry Potter
I've got all the books so maybe I should read them all now
As for batman
Batman arkham city was amazing, loved all the villains and locations , the game felt endless , never did do the catwoman vs poison ivy since I bought the game used so I think I missed out
Batman Arkham Asylum killed my Xbox 360 lol, I was setting up the sticky paste bomb and right when I hit the detonator the console went black, the screen went black , it was so weird 0_o
I unplugged it and still just black , ejected the disc , just black

I got Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire on Audible some time ago. I don't remember why I got Goblet of Fire but Prisoner of Azkaban is the one that I'm the fuzziest on due to time travel and the fact that I've really only seen the movie once because I lent a friend my DVD and never got it back.
There was no point in rebelling against his family. They bailed out too, remember? Except his aunt.
I don't think I could handle a DQVII replay. The first time around took me 104 hours. Great game but damn.

Buy A Little Life and then have an emotional breakdown during it.
Literally cried for like 30 minutes after finishing it and felt awful for a few days after. (I mean uh, it's so bright and cheerful and fun. Puppies and rainbows and smiles. I swear.)
