After all this time — I am officially ready for Spyro 4

Like most Spyro fans, I loathed the Flight/Speedway levels as a kid. I'm confident this is the first time in my life I actually achieved 100+% on all three games. Interestingly, both Year of the Dragon and Ripto's Rage final stages felt familiar. I know for sure as a kid I 100%'d Ripto's Rage, as that is my all-time favorite and the very first video game I ever played. I remember unlocking the unlimited fireball breath.

For Year of the Dragon, if I actually achieved it it must have only been once, but I'm also curious if it was just someone else's video I watched. Idk. Some of it seemed familiar (flying around to defeat the Sorceress), other parts didn't. What I am for sure confident I have never completed before was Spyro 1. It was the last game of the original trilogy I got as a kid, and thus it felt the least "Spyro" to me (voice actor included). I guess I was never that interested in Gnasty Gnorc, but I finally have all his loot.

Anyway, these are just the ramblings of a 31yo Spyro fan. Forever my favorite video game and my childhood fictional best friend. The world has many reasons to feel depressed these days, but a new Spyro game gives me childlike excitement and hope. I am really looking forward to the new game!

Sofia Coppola: Is there something I'm missing?

I have tried to watch Marie Antoinette twice and ended up getting too bored to finish both times. Mind you I've watched and enjoyed several of Tarkovsky's, so this is very unusual for me.

I watched the entirety of Lost in Translation, but felt similarly underwhelmed. I love her soundtracks and I get part of the appeal is simply the great "vibes," but is there something else to them that I'm missing?

Edit: I am learning Sophia Coppola fans are extremely defensive about these boring films, but that apparently there really isn't much more to them than the "vibes" after all. I like stories, sorry. — To those offering genuinely thoughtful responses, thank you.

How much of your love for wine involves the experience of getting drunk?

The deeper I get into wine, the more I want to share it with others. But I am realizing pretty much all the people I know who drink wine really just do so to get drunk. They might say "ooh that's good," and that's best case.

If I'm being honest with myself, I enjoy the feeling of being drunk a lot. That is a huge part of the experience for me as well. But I am also genuinely interested in wine, and if it's really cheap plonk the experience of being drunk is not worth it to me alone.

I'm curious how the community here feels about their own relationship with wine? Is the taste paramount? Is it mostly about pairing with food, experiencing the terroir, seeing how it develops with age, etc.? Or is it really the feeling of alcohol and the rest is secondary? Is it equally both?

Why can't the Mods learn how to decorate this sub with a photo and cover image?

This subreddit has existed for years and remains a blank slate. Why can't they do it?

Someone arrange a cat funeral, because curiosity just killed it

After all of your horrible reviews, I simply had to try this alleged monstrosity for myself. Given how low my expectations were, I have to say it wasn't quite as bad as the internet made me believe. But I am someone who takes Metamucil near-daily, so I'm not one to shy away from a bit of medicinal orange artifice.

All of that being said this is objectively not a good drink. It doesn't work on any level. My mouth tastes like I drank a cup of coffee and took my Metamucil right after. So, yeah. For anyone curious, there it is.

Where is the hideous "orange latte" that everyone is talking about on here?

Was catching up on your hilarious reviews of the orange wood chip chewable vitamin powder, and every thread agrees the "latte" version is the worst — but I don't see a latte listed anywhere. Did they kill it?

Shout out to Moneybags for teaching child-me that capital's greed is insatiable, it sides with evil in search of profit, and the dragon proletariat must rise up!

What is your favorite song from your least-favorite album?

We all have our favorite songs and favorite albums, least-favorite songs and least-favorite albums. But I'm curious about the diamonds in the rough. What's a song you really enjoy from a record you otherwise don't?

Staying at AC Hotel and see 2 dogs on a balcony across the street being starved at Circa LA apartments — who do we call?

If you check the Google reviews page of this complex you can see the photo evidence and other people in my exact situation who also noticed this. They say management was unresponsive. Who should we contact to get these poor doggies saved ASAP, should we just call 911?
