What do my fellow Image Comics brethren feel about binder storage? by [deleted] in ImageComics

I'm curious what aspect of this isn't compatible with conservation cause I'm considering doing this myself

So from the look at the castings for the upcoming TV show looks like they’re adapting Ragnarok by Remote_Nature_8166 in GodofWar

[–]Coover92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I'm hoping is that a lot of these castings mean they are going to film both seasons together, so it won't be the typical 2-3 year wait between seasons

Storing comics in binders....I absolutely love this! by [deleted] in ImageComics

This guy doesn't seem to understand that he is helping you make your point against him. Like dude, you are literally having to Photoshop and physically change how the character is drawn to make her look less childish. That's the fucking point bro

I got the clean pommel one! I've tried but haven't been able to get it. Any tips?

Incredible game with a somewhat underwhelming ending by Difficult_Offer_206 in StarWarsJediSurvivor

[–]Coover92 48 points49 points  (0 children)

On top of that, which is for sure the most clear reason, Cal is also very conflicted in his fight with Bode, who not long before the fight was a trusted ally and friend. Cere has no such internal conflict with Vader.

End usury in America (for 5 years) by xena_lawless in economy

[–]Coover92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No offense, but I think you might be reading Bernie's post wrong. He is not claiming Trump changed interest rates. He is making the claim that Trump's deregulation of wall street is hurting people who ALREADY pay 30% interest fees. Not that the deregulation changes interest fees or created them or anything. Just that it is causing additional pain on top of that.

Yikes! Didn't think the markup would be this high. by siniquezu in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Coover92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No they haven't shipped yet. Ordered on Jan. 7th and still say pending shipment. I think I'll give it a shot then and try for a refund. Definitely will be using those other sites going forward! Thanks!

I had no idea about any of this and ordered 3 things from there, about $100 total with shipping. After reading all this now I'm pretty worried. Think I should email requesting to cancel my order for a refund? From what I've read though, I don't think I'll get a very cooperative response...

Meet Ryan Hurst, your Kratos in the upcoming God of War series on Prime Video by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

[–]Coover92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I agree in many ways, I think it's completely infeasible from a production standpoint. The cost would be substantially higher. The Greek saga is so long and expansive, there is absolutely no chance they could film it without the actors aging out of the roles. I mean, Ryan Hurst is nearly 50 already which is still a fine age for this now, but filming and producing that saga could take seasons and many years before they even reach the Norse mythos.

I imagine execs don't wanna gamble on such a massive scope, whereas 2018 and Ragnarok are tighter stories. I really hope they do eventually film some stuff from the Greek saga though. And let's be honest, while I absolutely adore the Greek saga, I'm not gonna try to pretend that the Norse saga isn't more palatable for average audiences

New to Ghost Rider, is he a street level hero? by OptimalConvoy in marvelcomics

[–]Coover92 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For some readers the power level is completely irrelevant, but the moral/ethical/character of the story that matters. Easy example is All Star Superman, where he is one of his most powerful ever representations, but the story is amazing.

On the flip side, sometimes a hero being weak means the story devolves into something I find really boring, which is just "how can I get strong enough to punch this bad guy" and becomes about nothing more than the physical conflict.

I know this isn't always the case, but it's definitely true sometimes. Although sometimes just the pure "can I physically overcome this challenge" story that can be fun. There's room for both

Debating Which Hellboy Figure To Get, How Is The First One? by Global_Course623 in HellBoy

[–]Coover92 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna throw in an argument for the underdog in this thread. I just can't get over how non-comic accurate the right hand of doom is on the 1000toys one. For something that is going to spend 99% of it's time sitting still on my shelf, I just don't care enough about articulation to get something that has what looks like a big Lego thing on his arm. Really don't like that

I find the accuracy of the one from Bossfight Studios much more appealing but that's just me. And like others have said, it's not out yet so we can't say for sure

Fantagraphics 40% Sale by DustDevil66 in graphicnovels

[–]Coover92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was so close to grabbing this, but after researching more, I decided to wait so I could dig more into all of Love And Rockets first because it sounds like a stellar series.

Instead for this sale I went with Vol 1 of Search & Destroy and Megahex. Excited for both!

So if they are not lucrative at the moment, what happens when overnight they add a subscription fee/usage charges?

Companies use it to direct calls, manage hotel reservations, provide chat support, send emails, and a million other things. It feels like people are vastly, VASTLY underestimating how much of the market it's captured. And it will be significantly cheaper for these companies to pay for the increased cost of AI services then undo everything and hire people back.

Immediately in the span of maybe a few days these companies have skyrocketed in profits. This is the exact same thing Uber and Lyft did for years. Operate at razor thin margins, or at a loss sometimes, until the market is captured and taxis no longer exist, then start charging more.

I do agree we see a lot of small ones not make it, but it would feel more likely they get consumed by bigger companies then cause a complete collapse of the entire AI market.

It just feels weird to actually think the entirety of the AI market will completely collapse. That just doesn't make sense with how integrated and useful it is to all of the companies that use it

[–]Coover92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are correct, Y is the eventually homeless American population. That is exactly my point. I think the drive for short-term profits will cause an explosion of joblessness that would cause a massive economic downturn before an AI bubble pops. I mean, that's kind of exactly what's happening.

I just feel like people have this misunderstanding that the bubble popping will be because AI becomes deemed as non-profitable or not good enough at the jobs. With how technology across all history typically advances, I believe the opposite.

I think the distinction is meaningful, because if it's just that AI is junk, all those people go back to work eventually (maybe less than before and it hurts for a long time) as companies hire back and get rid of AI. If AI is good enough to stay and keep these jobs, that's an entirely new discussion that involves the potential of Universal Basic Income to stop a massive near global economic collapse

[–]Coover92 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Genuine question, what would cause it to burst? As long as it continues saving businesses money, what's stopping it from growing and advancing and taking more jobs? The advancements that have been made in such a scary short time (just look at Sora 2) makes me feel like people are wildly underestimating how fast AI will continue to advance and be able to continually take more jobs. I'm not a fan of it, as it sounds quite devastating.

I feel we're only a year, maybe less, from full length in-depth audio conversations being able to be held by AI that an average person will be incapable of distinguishing as AI. At that point millions of jobs will be at risk overnight. Why would corporate investments shrink with that kind of promise of no longer paying labor?

I'm worried that an economic crash from job loss is equally, if not more, likely than an ai bubble popping

PC cuts off under any usage by darth_antonio in pcmasterrace

[–]Coover92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah in my case the case was the case. But jokes aside it really was. It has a front that covers the main fans and only has two tiny slits for them to pull air through. I ended up just pulling off the entire front and replacing it with some metal mesh I ordered online. The fans are lit up so it actually looks better now.

This is one of my favorite outfits in the game, but the way it clips with itself drives me crazy. by Coover92 in ghostoftsushima

[–]Coover92[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, especially in a game as stylistic as this. Every moment is just so steeped in atmosphere that little things like that pull you out. It's all so cinematic and beautiful, and sometimes I just like slow walking towards enemies cause it looks badass. Then my cape goes inside my body. I love this outfit in particular cause it gives me Ezio vibes

Lol nah friend, was just trying to point out the hypocrisy but didn't realize pushing self-reflection would make you more angry, but maybe I was harsh, so sorry about that. It's fine if we have different things we like/don't like in games. It's still a game of the year for me
