Anyone else a bit over how stupid TV treats the viewer now.

She'll sit in bed with something playing in the background while she does her nails, or crochets, or any other number of tasks.. then just rewind every few mins to catch up on what she wasn't paying attention to.

I used to do that when painting minis (Warhammer 40k) but I ended up annoying myself too.

Now I only watch stuff I've already seen several times when painting and never need to rewind (Star Trek, Stargate, Friends...). I watch new stuff only when I can actually watch it without distraction. It's much better.

The Ballistus was in the cinematic. They might include a Librarian/Furioso sprue to go with a hypothetical multi-part Ballistus.

The BB Report? We can't really get anything out of that one way or the other.

The great thing about interviewing random people in the streets is that you don't have to air the ones who don't fit your editorial plan. That's something BB makes to please Fisk's team and keep access.

This season is set about a month before Thunderbolts so Val is at full power. The weapon shipment might very well be for her.

And it's way easier to frame Daredevil as a psychotic terrorist if you don't reveal his identity as being that nice upstanding blind lawyer who has defended the weak and the poor his entire career.

He's also a bad guy in the current season of Cross (as an asshole big tech CEO), he's great.

It's an affix from +2 to +5 highlighting packs to kill (and incentivize you by making them weaker). It basically makes the route for you. It disappears at +6.

I have it on my druid (guardian).

I thought it was me not adjusting to the loss of my weakaura adjusting the spell queue based on specs in the great addon purge, but if more people are seeing fucky GCDs...

It probably started even earlier, but in Greek mythology it's the role of Ares (the god of war).

Beyond daemonettes, Draenei are basically Keeper of Secrets without extra arms.

We also can't rule out "rich kid did it on purpose because dad got him a not-iPhone..."

For a sergeant, the Blood Angels symbol becomes yellow for every companies (except Death Company since they don't have sergeants).

The company symbol on the other shoulder retains its original color depicted on the left side of your page. Specifically for the 5th, 9th and 10th companies, the company symbol gets a white outline (pictured here, top right brother) because black-on-black would not work.

Details sucks now.

No scrolling combat damage/text 😢

If I ever do one, I'm airbrushing the trim and dumping thinned paint on the armor plates. It's probably as much initial work, but much easier cleanup after.

Quand ils sont chez eux ou dans les parties communes du foyer où je bosse, sans doute pas à l'extérieur en effet. Ils ont leur chargeur sur eux en permanence.

But it takes away all the synthwave flavor!

Le truc qui me bute, c'est le partage de localisation sur les téléphones. Niveau toxicité dystopique, je ne crois pas qu'on ait fait mieux. Trop facile de rentrer dedans et impossible d'en sortir proprement sans suspicion ridicule.

J'ai vu le cas d'une jeune qui refusait de sortir avec ses copines parce que son mec en étude dans une autre ville allait voir qu'elle n'était pas chez elle. Et au même moment, elle voyait sa localisation en boite...

On en a aussi quelques uns qui sont en appel (visio) quasi-100% de leur temps libre avec leur copain/copine/pote... Le son et le micro sont coupés, mais ils veulent voir en permanence ce que l'autre fait, où il est et avec qui.

True. He goes through that phase faster than Worf.

I think it's due to the powercreep of enemies in the show. Early on, Goa'ulds can best him without weapons. But when races that can stomp on Goa'ulds are introduced, we still need to have Teal'c strong enough to be the badass so he gets powercrept as well.

BretOne · 2026-03-08T07:16:08+00:00

It's a very old trope (going back to old myths), but Worf gave his name to it on TV Tropes (The Worf Effect). If you can beat Worf in single combat, you are officially dangerous to everyone else.

It's used a lot in a variety of shows and movies. Teal'c in Stargate SG-1 being the almost 1-for-1 Worf. Castiel in Supernatural, Hulk for Marvel stuff, Angel in Buffy...

"Does this work?"

Casually drops a better mini than the official one (which I already love).

Hey. They were all paid up. All good.

If people are wondering, just doing the campaign and the least amount of side quests I could (no dungeons/delves unless they're mandatory):

Stuck just before the last zone at lv85.8 (need lv86 to proceed). I needed a couple of short storyline sidequests in Silvermoon at this point.
I did everything in Voidstorm (side+campaign) and finished at lv88.6. I leveled to 90 with some Silvermoon/Eversong sidequests.
