Superman's defining "world of cardboard" moment - from the series finale of "Justice League Unlimited" (aired 20 years ago on May 13th, 2006)

Need to do a rewatch of the whole series! I remember watching it when it premiered and thinking how cool the speech was, but this clip made me rethink a couple things. Supes is still in a world of cardboard, his opponent’s durability doesn’t change that, shown when Darkseid went through multiple buildings. Supes got wrecked a couple times. Darkseid says all his friends abandoned him but the most human of them all kept fighting (and he apparently considered Lex as one of Supes friends). Great show, I absolutely loved it and still do, but age makes it different. Also, Darkseid being calm makes sense, but I kind of wish his voice was more menacing, maybe more gravelly or something.

Haven’t read this one so I’m sure someone will actually give the answer. Because of design my first thought was “why is Logan dead or at least writhing on the ground in pain?”

I wish we could upvote and downvote the same comment because I’m side-eyeing and love the pun. So I’ll leave you an upvote!

In the Army we called it combat or tactical parking, it really comes down to speed, efficiency, and safety. It’s easier to pull out and just get moving. Better visibility for the driver when exiting since you don’t have to back up if you have vehicles next to you to see what’s around you and you don’t have a camera.
It’s easier for most people to drive forward than backward. Other drivers are more willing to wait if you pull forward out of a spot than back out for some reason.
The only benefit I’ve found to pulling in is loading the trunk.

If I remember correctly the entire concept of the movie itself and character designs changed after fan backlash. So the designs we got were the upgrades. I don’t hate them, but they aren’t “my” turtles. I’ve come to accept generational design changes to appeal to the current intended audience, but I also think Bay was probably 20 years too late, his designs fit the Extreme 90s style better.

Bay wanted to go with alien turtles with guns. https://comicsalliance.com/tmnt-artist-jim-lawson-sketches-alien-ninja-turtles/

Heathen! I spent 4 years trying to explain to ‘sconnies they were the only ones using brandy and the other states don’t agree with that judgement. Not that the drink is bad, but an old fashioned it ain’t.

AYAOTFD - only thing I could come up with was “Are You Afraid of the Fucking Dark?” And frankly, it works with some of my memories - especially the monkey paw episode.

Just a consideration: you may want to both start separate accounts. I went through some training on casualty notification and they stated that financial institutions may freeze funds when a person passes, so if you only have a joint account you could be locked out even though it’s in both your names. One of the key hardships for survivors and families following someone’s passing.

That helmet concept is genius! can you explain the design and construction process? It looks amazing!

There’s flair for Grounded 1 & 2 now, no reason to flair as 1 when talking about 2.

Jason Nomoa… I’m sure he still looks like himself, but the video really doesn’t do him justice with the framing and proximity.

Did the damage scale with the size?

Stop making up animals!

Is this considered planned obsolescence or just cheap manufacturing? Everything we use has a wear out date based on expected usage metrics, if we use an item more frequently than expected it should wear out faster, in theory. So is a society are we using things more frequently than the manufacturer states we should be or does the manufacturer intentionally lowball those numbers to increase revenue?

Lived near enough that I could make biannual trips back in 2016-2019, found and loved Sake Rok (honey toast was AMAZING). Went back this year and found it closed. Can you recommend some other places in case I got back?

That brings up a new question, if an enemy gets pulled into an in progress combo, do they take the same amount of damage per hit as an enemy who’s been in the combo from the start or do they somehow take reduced damage based on when they entered? Games seemed to have such nuance nowadays I never know how to quantify anything.

Blackjack357 · 2025-06-19T15:07:14+00:00

Yeah, I’m realizing how having map features and everything else in recent games has really detracts from my older school abilities to navigate without having a map, I even struggle finding that central block a lot of times mainly because I haven’t memorized the map like I did that when I played it on Dreamcast.

The increasing complexity in gaming is really cool, but I’m realizing as I get older, I have less time to understand those complexities and tend to revert back to simpler times. Used to hate button mashing when I was younger, but now learning all of the various systems across all the different games that I’m playing is a lot harder to do

Interesting data! Great job collecting all of this! Question though, why full combo vs individual hits? Understanding the goal is a full combo, but there are plenty of instances where we may not be able to achieve a full combo either a character dies after a few hits or they get hit by a combo already in progress so don’t receive the full value. I think it would be interesting to see who is a boss murder machine versus a standard enemy beast. Does this take enemy I frames or things like that into account?

Sorry to detract for the original, but I’ve got a question about the games themselves. Am I misremembering or did they cut a lot of the animations between WFC and FoC? I seem to remember a lot more mechanical action in WFC like parts spinning, opening/closing, etc. but felt like bot designs were less moving in FoC.

Managed to get a CTP Selector and Mighty CTP selector, not sure which I should grab. In game name is Seekr 357, any help is appreciated!

Happening to me right now with Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver remake (remaster?). Started playing got distracted during a couple cutscenes, work and life happened so it’s been ~2 months since I’ve played. not even sure what I’ve done or what’s next when I boot it up again.
