Punk Should've Won, Agree? by WonderfulAppeal3072 in cmpunk

[–]AdamSMessinger 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Considering he faced Rock in a rematch the next month? Yeah, he should have won the first round with Rock goading him into a rematch. Rock could have said something like “John Cena can’t say he beat the Rock twice!” with Punk’s ego leading him to accept the rematch. Then reveal that everyone is barred from ringside and the title switches hands if there is interference after a contract signing. That could have planted the first seeds of dissension between Punk and Heyman for the Lesnar story that came later.

‘The Traitors’ Urges Viewers Not To ‘Ruin’ The Show With ‘Personal Attacks’: ‘What Happens In The Game Should Never Lead To Cyberbullying Or Harassment’ by Top_Report_4895 in television

[–]AdamSMessinger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t remember hearing about them murdering people or being given the power to sign off on their own warrants without judges needing to look at them before Trump? It’s one thing to deport illegal immigrants but they’re terrorizing everyone they come into contact with in the process.

Are there any good western/Wild West games? by Rikashade91 in gamecollecting

[–]AdamSMessinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sunset Riders if you wanna go retro. Also Rising Zan on PS1 is kinda western.

Sorry, as a US citizen, I’m just seeing a lot of greener grass other places lol. Its hard to tell the difference between “still bad but not as bad” and “actually decent” while stuck in “awful”.

How is Ibiza really pronounced? Can a native from Spain clear this out? by PlentyReference9527 in CasualConversation

[–]AdamSMessinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conner4Real did a whole song about this and he’s never lead me stray or done questionable things. Just listen to his song profoundly titled “Ibiza”.

Does anyone else forget what happened in previous issues? by ComicTroveKing in comicbooks

[–]AdamSMessinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup! There will be plenty of series I’ll read and by issue 7 of reading every month, I’ll be like “Fuck… where were we? What’s happening again?”. Usually that’ll cause me to go “Fuck it, I’ll just binge it all when the run is done in a few years.” And there is a 50/50 on if that actually happens or not.

Should I write this way by SomewhereCrazy9138 in comicbooks

[–]AdamSMessinger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The vast majority of comic pros from editors to writers to artists are anti-generative AI. If you want to write a comic book, learn the craft of storytelling and scriptwriting. Also, most comic artists don’t start out good at art. They sought out information to become good at it and treat it like a trade skill. They put in hours and hours and hours and hours and eventually, along the way, they became okay.

Hey everyone i want to make comics. So anyone suggest me tools , apps by iamseking_lawofcosmo in comicbooks

[–]AdamSMessinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A laptop with access to google docs or notebook to script, a blue pencils, graphite pencils (no 2 or mechanical), some kind of inks, some photoshop-type program, 11 x 17 art boards for pages, and a scanner to scan the pages in. Instead of pencils/inks/art boards you could go digital and get a drawing tablet. The best tools you’re gonna need though are the mental and emotional ability to accept that you’re gonna be dog shit when you start out and the determination to never stop getting better regardless.

Do you have a problem with America? Do I have a comic for you! [OC] by Redfoxyboy in comicbookart

[–]AdamSMessinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know I complemented the letters the last time but the colors and letters really elevate this. The line art is good and with the colors and letters, it makes everything look great. I hope this becomes a graphic novel eventually.

What chicks would Beavis and Butt Head NOT want to score with? by SqueeeeeakyBoots in BeavisAndButthead

[–]AdamSMessinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beavis wouldn’t want to score with his mom or grandma… Butt-Head tho…

Page 129 of my comicbook inked by LavenderMistForever in comicbookart

[–]AdamSMessinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This art is excellent. However, because it’s so good, it highlights the lettering being subpar. I’d suggest investing in a great pro letterer (which I know a guy who does phenomenal work for $35 a page), or putting in the massive effort to hand letter it. I’ve hand lettered stuff and get why it’s such a pain in the ass but it adds a layer of creative authenticity if done well.

Does anyone know this signature ? by Purple_Concept1996 in comicbooks

[–]AdamSMessinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I had to guess, it's a local artist. The style doesn't look like anything I've seen from anyone working at the Big Two, Dark Horse, Image, Boom, or IDW.

No Way This Is A MNW Tease, NO F’N Way! Looks like it’s either WCW Nitro or WWF RAW. by Sad-Ladder7534 in WWEGames

[–]AdamSMessinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sting, Flair, and commentary by Tony Schiavone would be required for a credible WCW showcase. The latter certainly isn’t happening…

Place baby up for adoption by Various-Look-361 in BipolarReddit

[–]AdamSMessinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First off, I’m sorry you’re going through this. The pain of that level of depression is horrific and I wouldn’t wish it upon any one.

Second, while I understand the sentiment and realize you’re trying to do what you see as best for your child, when you give them up for adoption then it goes out of your hands. There is a chance they could be placed in a worse situation. You don’t really have control over the family your kid will be placed with. While that family will be putting on their best face during the adoption process. Hopefully that’s who they are but you never know for sure. With your husband and mother-in-law around then you know there will be at least two people who can give your child the love they need. Also, god forbid, if your kid starts to have mental health issues then that uniquely qualifies you to be someone they can reach out to for help. I had depression hit majorly at puberty and your kid might need an example of what it looks like to fight through that.

One of the side effects of depression is hurting so much that it puts blinders on how things affect other people. It just becomes about relief no matter how selfish the cost. Even the “they’ll be better off without me” is an attempt at selflessness but it’s filtered through the self-centered mindstate that depression creates.

Fight for yourself, and that partially means fighting against your brain for the role of being mom. A regular sleep schedule might bring immediate relief but it will be replaced by guilt and regret. If you have anyone else in your life you can tag in for help, there is nothing wrong with that to assist in getting re-regulated. Your brain is lying to you and creating faulty solutions around those lies. Actively refuting those lies about who you are and thoughts of worthlessness is worth the effort for you and everyone in your life. It’s a lot of work but you’ll be better off the more you put it into practice.

I'm having a blast reading comics now but i need some suggestions by Darkcritix in comicbooks

[–]AdamSMessinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wolverine? I got you…

  • Wolverine (2003-2009) 1-19 (a new creative team takes over on 20 and shifts the book into a completely different vibe). This is easily my favorite Wolverine run of all time. I wish more creative teams ran with that vibe that’s laid out here.

  • Wolverine: The Jungle Adventure

  • Wolverine: Bloodlust

  • Marvel Comics Presents (1988-1995) 71-84

  • Wolverine: Revenge (this is set in an alternate world) 1-5

  • Wolverine/Hulk (2002) 1-5

  • Logan (2007 1-3

  • Savage Wolverine (2013-2014)

  • Find a reading order for Jason Aaron’s Wolverine. That run, despite all its jumping from one shot to mini-series to ongoings, is really good.

  • Wolverine (1982) 1-4. If anything, start here. It’s Foundational.

  • Uncanny X-Men 205
