it just occured to me that Obiwan was probably supposed to be a rank like Padawan, probably a teacher to a Padawan... and that's why he has an actual normal name, Ben...

but like many things in the original movie, this was then adjusted as the series went on. like how there were mentions of multiple Sith lords in the original script, and that Vader is the most feared one of them, something that even made it into the official novel of the movie...

Been watching old Dick Cavett interviews [post-desk] and they're worlds away from the modern late night stuff. So engaging and grown up, the Dick Van Dyke and Richard Burton long form interviews for eg. are especially great.

Even this little snippet of him talking to Oscar Peterson at the piano seems so sincere and professional:

Warning vent post....

Wow, ever since it turned June 1st today, I've been getting fucked over royally.

My current roommate sent me rent and found out the service charged a big fee to the point I didn't have enough to cover the rent so I had to ask to borrow a little extra.

Now, said current roommate has a long distance "girlfriend" that was supposed to move in one week from today and I was going to prorate her.

Well, I found out, only by me mentioning her moving in on the 8th, that he told me she pushed it back to the end of June.

Wtf!? Why wasn't I told this earlier. I'm setting up and flipping bills to clean this place up for her arrival only to find out just an hour or two ago she won't be coming when I expected which also fucked over my finances. I'm out $200 plus the cost of carpet cleaning and other expenses due to her moving here.

Also this is not the first time she's pushed back the move-in date. This girl is sounding like a real flake.

Oh yeah and I normally get cash back for getting the money order for rent and the cash back option is not working. I normally get around $30 cash back and so that means I'm out also another $30.

I'm fucking livid right now.

That trans roommate I had that I always talk about? Fuck damn do I miss her. If she were here everything would be so much better.

Edit: posting this at 3am because I'm losing sleep over all this and it's compunded with the fact I already have insomnia due to anxiety.

Doesn't make any sense, R2-D2 is sent to find Obi-Wan, and it's him. It is made very obvious from the start he's hiding under a fake name.

I don't think it's obvious.
why use a fake name... and then only change your first name?
imagine the empire looking for Anakin's master, and then seeing there's someone with the same last name hanging around Anakin's home planet lol

That's the plot hole

I.... think I just came out to my therapist.

This feels really weird but I guess I may have to accept some things now.

Well I guess this is the perfect month to do it.

I really don't know what to think right now.

Overall, a decent showing from Sony. Nothing was crazy awesome to me, but there were a few things in there I might get. I'm pretty pumped for the Dave the Diver prequel with the sushi guy. I loved that game.

Craziest thing was seeing Gitaroo-Man acknowledged in 2026. Didn't expect that lol.

I thought the new Stuntman looked cool.

I'll probably get a lot of flack for my last post but NeoGAF is still an online family for almost 20 years.

Maybe someone can post a "Is Darkmakaimura Woke Slop" thread.

(fun fact: Makaimura is the Japanese title for the Ghosts N Goblins/Demon's Crest series by Capcom. Now you know)

Meh, as long as you're happy and healthy who cares about your sexual preferences. Life is shitty and short enough as is to be living a lie.

Why does every travel YouTube video and Reddit poster seemingly brag about how little they pack when they travel? It's like "oh yah I traveled for six months on a single t shirt, two underwear, and pair of jeans and washed them in the hotel sink and that's the best way to do it." Like yea I'm gonna spend money to travel to the nicest places on earth to live like a hobo.

 

[Baemono]

two underwear

Yeah no way they have two, more like one they turn on the other side

I reaaaaaaaally wish I had kept my old PC parts instead of selling them when I upgraded. I had no idea that everything would get this expensive.

To all snitches. Nobody gives a shit that someone else did the same thing. They got away with it and you got caught.

Just found out about porn star John Holmes and his 13 inch penis. Amazing. Too bad he was absolute trash as a person. But still, that size. Something to strive for.

Well more like sexual identity. My sexual preference is still women, with or without a schwanz.

But if it's any consolation, I'm still so much a gamer that my last purchase was a Majora's Mask skirt.

I still have steps to consider taking.

Definitely though, I need to gain weight. Yes, gain, because I'm rather underweight.

Twenty bucks for deodorant and mouthwash.

I wonder how a family of 4 even makes it nowadays.

I'm sorry for saying this but I'm glad it's just me.

At my corner shop the mouthwash is £2.49/$3.34 and the deodorant is ~£3/$4.

I know there's other factors in terms of cost of living in US vs UK, beyond just cost of goods. But nearly 3x the price is bonkers!

Oops, make that +~60% instead of ~3x then...

when did society as a whole start to agree that alligators are adorable?

there's a clear shift from when I was a kid to now, where at one point people went from thinking of alligators as just dangerous reptiles, to referring to them as swamp puppies and looking at cute gifs/videos of them and going "awwww!"

huh...

anyway, here's a cute alligator getting brushed:

Random thought.

Shaving your balls, not trimming but shaving with a blade, is one of the most stressful things ever. It's like defusing a fucking bomb.

I never use a super sharp razor for this.
You don't want a dull razor, either, so there's a delicate balance.

Never tried it, but I assume if you use a trimmer guard or small beard trimmer, you should be safe.

I also got Botox on my balls to get rid of the wrinkles, so now they are smooth as eggs.
I get my balls sucked left and right now.

Just a quick reminder for the younger men on this forum:

• No means no.
• Do it safely.
• Never stick your dick in crazy, especially if crazy wants a baby.
