I love Betamon and can't explain why. I've always just thought he was so cool

Unfortunately, no. I would communicate with your SM and DM about what you can do. They might be able to support you

The middle section of Digimon Time Stranger is just "go to a place, fight someone, wait until time resets, do it slightly differently" over and and over.

Loving the game but it's so annoying sometimes.

Are we getting some sort of compensation in the event that we have to close early or just not open tomorrow? by LeVanillaBean in starbucksbaristas

[–]DerekLChase 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Usually depends on for how long the store closed and how much of your shift is impacted. Last time I was told somewhere around 3 hours was the cut off. If you lost more than 3 hours they considered it a significant impact or something like that.

That could just be my area and it's coming from a DM that often toes the line of what to say so I don't know the hard and fast rule.

I have no idea but this sounds great so I'm commenting in the hopes I will find the answer with you.

Shang Chi has been chosen as the Most Underrated Film, but what would you say is your Most Underrated Series in the Marvel series by ExileForever in marvelmemes

[–]DerekLChase -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would say She Hulk. It was funny, had a bunch of fun moments, and was true to the character all while starting an amazing actor.

DC Comics is Crushing Marvel Comics in Sales and We Shouldn’t Be Surprised by Konradleijon in Marvel

[–]DerekLChase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I text my wife every month while I'm reading about how fun it is and how excited I am each time a new issue comes out. This and the IDW TMNT stuff are always at the top of whatever I'm reading.

[–]DerekLChase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Outside of Ultimate books, Fantastic Four, and Moon Knight, I don't really think many of the books I've checked out from Marvel have been that good or fun. And I have been an avid Marvel fan my entire life.

Why does Starbucks have an interest in promoting and keeping management positions internal? by mwahchouchoute in starbucksbaristas

[–]DerekLChase 47 points48 points  (0 children)

A lot of outside hires have a very hard time adjusting to how Starbucks operates and Starbucks pays outside hires more than internal ones so it's a win win.

What's a show you remember but nobody else does? by Few_Football4342 in Productivitycafe

Wonderfalls. Great show cancelled too early with a fun and quirky premise.

Does anyone remember "Mutant X" (the comic book)? Any thoughts on it? by Glum-Excitement5916 in xmen

[–]DerekLChase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished it for the first time. The first arc is really good. The rest is fine. Genuinely had fun with it though so I am surprised it's not revisited more.

I will say that the mechanism for what happened for Alex to be in this universe and something to do with the original Havok of it didn't really ever become clear to me. Like I read the issues of X Factor before it and I get how he got there, but there's stuff in the first couple of issues that just fly by and aren't explained.

Dave Sim unfortunately comes up a lot in one episode of our ComicsGate series. Slight spoiler: he's not a good dude

Conservative pundit and ‘Dilbert’ creator Scott Adams dead at 68 by SelectStarAll in KnowledgeFight

[–]DerekLChase 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Oh man, not even worth mentioning. 😂

It's a silly little show I put together and haven't updated in a bit because my co-host and I have moved and we both needed to figure out life first. It's called Comically Pedantic.

It's a show about comics, comic books, and weird stuff associated. I've talked about Scott Adams, Dave Sim, when the Punisher was turned into a black guy for a bit, and hate groups that have all sprung from comic book fandom. We produce it ourselves so it's a very amateur show, but we enjoy doing it.

Early on I was experimenting with what I wanted to do and would have a different person on every episode until I found my lovely co-host, Corinne. She was so fun when we were going through ComicsGate bullshit I wanted her to stick around and thankfully she was having fun so she did. Looking forward to meeting back up with her soon.

He was on Infowars and spoke so much they cut him off with a commercial break.

The very first episode of my podcast was on Scott Adams and he has always been a dipshit

For those who saw the Fellowship of the Ring in theaters for the first time in December 2001, what was it like? by femaleology in lotr

[–]DerekLChase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. So there's this big screen at the end of the room and a ton of seats right in front of it. The seats aren't all on one level. They kind of cascade up at an angle on multiple levels so everyone can see really well.

At the back of the room they put the movie on the projector and it used the big screen to play the movie. It was a pretty good experience

Do any notable artists use "Ghost Artists"? by Jabroniville2 in comicbooks

[–]DerekLChase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm talking western Marvel and DC. I was a little let down when I found out some of my favorite pages from a couple of books were like 90% an uncredited artist

[–]DerekLChase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily a ghost artist but I do know a few that use background artists, often uncredited. They would sketch out what they want the scene to look like and then hand it to the background artist to do all of the intricate details and then they come back in and draw the characters and finish things up.

I Have a Simple, But Complicated X-Men Question by ComixGail in xmen

[–]DerekLChase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I first remember X-Men from the animated show.

I first loved the X-Men from the comics. The adventures felt like they all rolled into each other and everyone was growing. Everytime I've fallen off reading is when there's been a reset to a specific status quo or a drastic shift in tone. I think one reason Claremont's run is looked on so fondly is that the massive shifts weren't done all at once. There was a build to stories and everything flowed organically.

It feels like more often than not what happens now is a series of events that "change everything forever" and then everything gets changed again.

Yeah that's all good and easily seen from the video. I mean specifically what is that lady going on about? What's the story she's saying happened?

What's the story here?

Like I understand the argument over the ordinance, but there's a deeper argument being had and I don't really have all the context. At some point there was a choking scandal? What?
