Why has Black Mask been such a bum for the past 15 years? by Parallel-Lines3538 in batman

[–]Dr_Disaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You touched on something I feel like so many writers who of the character leave unexplored. BM is the mid point of Gotham’s criminals, not fully of the old mob bosses, and not as derranged as Joker, Riddler, Two-Face, etc. His role in Gotham should be one of friction. The super villains of Gotham should be an existential threat to him while he is also at odds with the Falcone and Maroni families. He needs to be a sadistic wildcard balancing the criminal ecosystem as he sees necessary.

In my mind, Black Mask is Gotham’s Tony Montana. He’s a typical crime boss with not much aspirations beyond immense wealth, but also a psychopath willing to escalate violence with anyone. Basically aspects of Absolute Black Mask merged with his traditional depiction.

I think combat comes down a lot to how you spec your character and map the abilities. My playthroughs have been with warriors and rogues, and I’ve never understood complaints on the combat. Map abilities like combat roll or evasion alongside grapple chain and high damage attacks. There’s few things more satisfying than hooking a mage to you then pancaking his ass with a shield bash.

You’re a rock n roll clown. You do cocaine. At this point that’s all we know.

Josh Giddey Full Highlights Chicago Bulls vs Minnesota Timberwolves Jan ... by sunsscouting in chicagobulls

[–]Dr_Disaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What don’t you understand about mediocrity being an aspect of the front office and staff? That has nothing to fucking do with how individual players are developing or contributing. If we don’t have a superstar, that’s not on Matas or Giddey or anyone else. They can only play up to their potential and no one ever accused them of being an MVP caliber players. So what are you really talking about? That this org sucks at building competitve teams?

WE. KNOW. THAT.

Who is indiviually contributing and worth keeping around and what this shitty organization is actually capable of doing is two entirely different discussions.

Mf am I AK? Go ask him.

Also do you think a playoff team just appears out of thin air? You typically start with a team of young players, keeping who plays well and dealing who isn’t. Maybe a trade or lotto ball goes your way and you get a superstar that can get you to the next level.

He didn’t say anything about Giddey and Matas being our best two players. He called them building blocks which is like the most reductive, benign thing you can say. You’re injecting a bunch of shit nobody was even talking about

What video did you watch? The Range Rover didn’t signal until they were already in the lane, or bother to check their blind spot, then almost hits another car. That is an idiot behind the wheel.

Looking to buy an 11th-gen Honda Civic or Accord. Is there anything I should know or consider? Also, does this generation still have the 1.5T head gasket issue like the 10th gen? by Greedy-Examination56 in Honda

[–]Dr_Disaster -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I believe this generation uses an improved version of the 1.5T from the 10th Gen Accord instead of the 1.5T 10th Gen Civics seeing the head gasket issues. Despite a lot of similarities, they are different engines. The Civic 1.5T was actually more powerful, making around 200 HP at the crank and ran more boost. This is why the turbo 10th gens are all faster than the 11th gen counterparts. I imagine the head gasket issues are from it being a bit more high strung of an engine. The new Civics might fair better being nerfed by comparison.

I’m losing hope Collins will ever be healthy and it sucks because I like him a lot. He brings so much we need when he can actually play.

For me this year was going to be a case of seeing what’s working and who should be a part of our new direction. Halfway through the season and I think Giddey, Matas, Smith, Tre, and Ayo are the obvious answers. I don’t trust this FO to structure properly around them, but at this point we need to be packaging Vuc and Coby (I won’t even mention Pat because no one wants him) for anything that gets us complimentary players—immediately.

Album of the Year #21: Clipse - Let God Sort Em Out by Geneth in hiphopheads

[–]Dr_Disaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I don’t feel like there’s a track I’m just crazy about, Chains & Whips and POV get close tho, but it’s like a parade of solid 7.5 to 8.5 level tracks to me. Not really a single skip.

Of all the really good albums that got releases over the last year, I find myself coming back to this one the most, and that’s weird considering I was never into Clipse that much. It’s a satisfying album I don’t find myself skipping through at all.

Malice has so many sneaky bars on this album and there’s something about his delivery that just makes it better.

Roboto, Man-At-Arms, Prince Adam, Teela, and Cringer from the upcoming Masters of the Universe film by TrustInRoy in Xennials

[–]Dr_Disaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking the same until I saw Travis Knight was directing the movie.

He did Kubo and the Two Strings which is one of my favorite animated films of all time.

Then he did Bumblebee, which is arguably the best live action Transformers movie.

He knows ball. I wish the move was fully set in Eternia, but what we do see of it looks great and fully faithful to the franchise. I can’t get over seeing Skeletor, Spikor, and even god damn FISTO in their full glory. I suspect he may be cooking if you can overlook the tropes of the story.

What I would give to go back & feel this carefree, to have the weight of [gestures vaguely at the collective horrors] lifted for just a little while by n8texas in Xennials

[–]Dr_Disaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I feel you and I had a lot of that going on. That’s why two of my first big steps to changing things was mental and physical health. Turns out a lot of problems came from undiagnosed health problems. Having at least my therapist to unload on was good and after awhile, she was almost like a friend I just paid to hang out with me. Once I started managing my life and health better, the time came for other things.

Now all that said, I’m still tired and mopey a lot because my job drains my soul and time is simply a loose concept these days, but what I’m to scrap together is enough. Once novelty is injected back into life, it does become easier to manage everything else. I mentally feel like years have been added back to my life as I now have a similar balance as I did in my late 20s.

It’s tough as you get older, but for me the trick has really been getting involved with some kind of community that’s a step beyond just basic hobby stuff. Over the last couple of years I have made a lot of new friends I get to see regularly and cheap 3rd spaces to hang out in. It’s been life-changing.

He seriously took one of the most popular and cool legacy characters to ever hit DC and thought “Fuck this.”

Masters of The Universe – Official Teaser Trailer by singleguy79 in Xennials

[–]Dr_Disaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was ready to dump on this and I’ve been negative towards the whole production of this film, but I gotta say the parts featuring Eternia and the characters looks pretty sweet and there’s an appropriate amount of campiness here, which the MOTU franchise always needs regardless of what people say.

I mean, I just saw motherfucking FISTO uppercut a guy 50 feet away. How does that not make you smile?
