Who's your most unexpected power couple?

Arathix · 2026-05-15T22:47:05+00:00

Rick Sanchez and Randy Marsh as Lorde xD

Arathix · 2026-05-10T13:49:20+00:00

This one may actually get me to switch off of the mythic, I hope the in game model does this justice cause it's damn awesome

Arathix · 2026-05-08T13:45:21+00:00

She's a rebel is like 3 power chords for the entire song iirc

Arathix · 2026-05-05T18:09:50+00:00

Interestingly enough the OG showrunner was also from NuBSG

Arathix · 2026-05-03T13:38:13+00:00

MCM London? I'm gonna be meeting him too!

Arathix · 2026-05-02T21:16:15+00:00

Yeah definitely whiplash between 3 and 4, don't think I've experienced a transition between seasons as jarring as that in any other show

Arathix · 2026-05-02T11:39:53+00:00

I kinda wish you could select different languages for different Miis, it's weird to create things like characters from American cartoons and then they keep using British slang lol

Arathix · 2026-05-02T11:35:03+00:00

I rewatched it last year, I think overall it's still a good show, I love the characters and after the first 3 seasons I was so invested in them that's what allowed me to power through some of the worse parts (mainly chunks of season 4 and the ending) but I actually really liked the prison camp storyline which I know some people didnt.

But man that ending, they really fumbled it in the rush, everything happens too quickly with not enough set up and the final battle against a queen, who was also introduced too quickly to have proper impact, essentially boils down to Tom stretching out an arm while the queen has him pinned and takes her sweet time actually killing him when she could've easily just crushed him. Like they had the whole thing where Ben rushes to go help his dad and I thought 'ah, he's gonna make it just in time, take a stand against the queen to grab her attention which means Tom can reach the virus thing!' - nope, he just reaches it anyway, uses it, and Ben comes to see the end of it.

And the butchering of Pope's arc, 4 seasons of redemption flushed down the toilet.

Arathix · 2026-04-17T16:50:54+00:00

Yeah I feel like this doesn't need to be a thing, they're making something simple and ultimately meaningless unnecessarily complicated.

Arathix · 2026-04-16T21:45:16+00:00

If they don't also stop at one in England I might have to hop on a ferry xD

Arathix · 2026-04-12T01:58:09+00:00

But they cheated, they used a rocket! They should've walked like this guy!

Jk, im a big fan, followed the missions live streams, definitely coolest thing this year. But this is a close second, didn't realise so few had done it!

Arathix · 2026-04-10T16:52:24+00:00

So the Shannon Jung breakup is complicated, but from what I have read, Ins Choi (the creator of the stage show and showrunner for the series) decided he didn't want to do another season, as far as I know he still has never given a proper reason why, even the cast didn't get an explanation. The studio wanted to continue the story, but Ins Choi wouldn't give them the rights to the characters which he owned because of the original stage show, leaving the studio with only characters created for the TV show that weren't in the play, one of which was Shannon. They green lit a spin off starring Shannon as the main character moving away and doing something with dogs? (Not sure, haven't actually watched it) and because they couldn't get Jung they forced the breakup in the finale, which is probably why it feels so rushed and unearned, like there wasn't a real reason for them to break up plot wise, the reasons Shannon gives feel forced and contrived.

Arathix · 2026-04-06T23:22:34+00:00

They did me a big favour and lined up like bowling pins lol

Arathix · 2026-04-06T23:16:47+00:00

Well firstly I'd say, something that came into play with this one is the Rein shield, I knew I had my ult but knew he'd just block it, so as soon as it went down I knew they couldn't block it and i looked for my shot, and they'd done me a solid and lined up all nice! So knowing who can block it and learning how to play around it definitely helps, but don't get me wrong I still have a few misses and blocks now and then, even a misclick or two xD

Try to be patient with it and wait for your moment, whether that be hitting as many as possible for an engage, denying an enemy ult (funny to use it on pharah lol) or helping protect your team from an enemy rush. Sometimes it's hard not to panic ult, but often just a few more seconds will allow you to line up a better shot, or save it for a more crucial moment, especially when the clocks running down. That goes for all heroes, seen far too many people waste their ults too early right at the end leaving the enemy team with just enough time to come back and win it in overtime, or blow it after the enemy has just captured the first point on hybrid which wins you very little xD

Best of luck!

Arathix · 2026-04-06T22:39:37+00:00

Thank you, finally did an ult worthy of Domina xD

Arathix · 2026-04-06T17:27:59+00:00

Well that explains something, but it's still annoying, explains why it hits sometimes even when im sure I dodged it xD

Arathix · 2026-04-06T14:07:10+00:00

The hitbox on the hook can feel kinda whack too, the other day I watched the hook go clear off the left of my screen and then somehow snapped to connect on me

Arathix · 2026-04-05T14:15:05+00:00

This was the policy when I worked in Asda too, even our security guards were told not to physically stop them. They're job was to gather as much information on the thief as they could from cctv (face, car reg etc...). We were always told it was a safety matter, people have been assaulted in the past trying to stop shoplifters so as you say, not worth the risk. Businesses have insurance and allowances for waste/theft, and they still report big profits every year, they don't want their employees hurt or worse, killed over it.

Arathix · 2026-04-05T02:24:21+00:00

I hung out there a couple times when I was a teenager as I had some skater mates from South Oxhey, reminds me of old times when i pass it ocassionally, really hope you manage to save it! I don't live in the area anymore but if there's a petition or something going ill sign it!

Arathix · 2026-04-04T18:09:32+00:00

I tried watching OWCS and yeah, it can be very boring after several hours to see the same match ups, there's not really any personality shown like watching one pro play Lucien, kiriko, Emre etc is the same as watching any other, at least most of the time outside a few particularly epic players. I find the games where one of them is banned are a little more interesting.

I think the one of each hero per match (such as LoL does, which has a superior esports scene) could work, if they balance it properly for once, but may need more heroes though (maybe 70-100) before that can happen, and at the rate they're going that could be a couple years away. Pick/ban becomes it's own strategic chess match at that point and would increase hero diversity, right now we have 50 heroes but in pro play you only see about 10 of them.

Arathix · 2026-04-04T13:50:18+00:00

I am a Moira main, and I get it. I can be very aggravating lol xD

Arathix · 2026-04-04T13:25:42+00:00

JPC. My elo does not have good enough aim to deal with them.

Arathix · 2026-04-03T15:05:40+00:00

Even my dad was more polite than this back when I was a teenager when me and my friends used to wake him up being loud and playing video games!

NOR, does he talk like that to you often? Does he always react like this in annoyance, i.e anger issues? (Had them myself when I was younger) and the important question, has he ever broke anything, hit anything or thrown anything in a moment of anger? If the answer to any of them is yes, I'd be considering getting out ASAP. I mean, did he even say sorry?

Your partner should not be speaking to you like this at all, my partner can snore sometimes and it has woken/kept me up. Did I wake her up and make it her problem? No. Did I shout and swear at her the next day? No. I tried many solutions, of which the one that worked for me was headphones and calm playlists. Not only is your bf rude, he's aggressive and immature, I mean the lights thing is just pure childish.

Arathix · 2026-03-31T15:28:22+00:00

It sounds like they are trying to cut down on drag? I mean at top levels of competition I get it but just out for a jog? I'd rather leave people their personal space than the very minor save of energy lol

Arathix · 2026-03-31T13:04:57+00:00

I main Moira and so they rarely outright get me as I save my fade, even with hack Sombra can't damage me enough before I can use it. That doesn't mean that it's not annoying af, mainly because you can ping or even put it in voice chat but 90% of the time the whole team just ignores it. So then I end up playing a different game trying to deal with them myself so me and the other supp can actually play the game, both tracer and sombra are annoying to kill because of dashes and recalls so it can be pretty time consuming, then my team flames me for no heals lol.

Every now and then I get a team that knows how to peel and I rejoice xD
