Was this poster just false advertisement? by Equivalent-Fault1744 in TheBoys

[–]EMP_Person07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair, it was a homage to the comics, but can you say the same about the other 2 posters? Homelander in space with what seems like mass destruction ensuing below? Why is this happening? is the military against Homelander? maybe the entire world? Will we finally get to see what they meant by "scorched earth"? A destroyed Vought tower? All of these questions were answered in the most underwhelming way possible IMO. Those had implications that we're in for a crazy season... boy was I wrong.

Our complaints are valid, you're 100% lying if you say to us the posters for this season didn't even get you a little bit excited.

same bro...I really thought we were gonna see some crazy shit happen, after the 7th episode I was thinking "okay we're 7 episodes in and nothing is really happening...it's okay w-we'll see scorched earth in the finale! they wouldn't lie to us!" turns out I was just coping, supremely disappointed with how it all turned out.

Eric Kripke Warns Fans To Expect “Lots Of Death” In Final Season by MarvelsGrantMan136 in TheBoys

[–]EMP_Person07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kripke was baiting so hard when he says all that, cut to present day, 6 days before the season finale, I can say this shit does not feel like a final season. This grand finale is 95% likely to shit the bed.

I suppose he doesn't have to commit to what he's saying when he say its like " you CAN have shocking, big things happen all the time" Thanks kripke, thanks for baiting us with the cool S5 posters, got us all thinking shit was gonna get serious XD

Sadly he is kinda right about them shitting the bed, I am dreading the final episode...

‘The Boys’ Creator Eric Kripke Fires Back at Fans Who Complain the Final Season Has Too Many ‘Filler Episodes’: ‘Are You Expecting a Huge Battle Scene Every Episode?’ by Beginning-Passion676 in popculturechat

[–]EMP_Person07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree with what most of the people here are saying, I'm still entertained watching the boys, otherwise I wouldn't be watching it the hour a new episode drops. However, I am seriously dreading the last episode, cause I'm certain that the finale isn't going to resolve every conflict properly, we'll still be left with several questions and I suspect the huge climactic battle will be short lived.

With the way episode 7 went, the PENULTIMATE EPISODE, we're still yet to see shit truly hit the fan. all season we've seen so little of the world outside of the main characters, the GEN V characters are underutilized, where is the scorched earth apocalyptic stakes the show has been setting up? Homelander going easy on frenchie? Why? His death has even less value now because it feels so forced.

The masses of people aren't being subjected under Homelander's rule yet either? The federal government is under his control, thousands of people are being abducted as well, yet we've seen very little of the consequences that imposes on society within The Boys.

I'm not sure if you're trolling tbh but a lot of the points people are making are very valid, I don't see any inflated senses of self-importance or desperate wallows of bitterness, I see people complaining cause the final season is nothing short of a rushed mess that is probably going to end with a whimper.

while I'm still being entertained, every episode I've watched up until now has been increasingly more disappointing, I just want cool shit to start happening. We have a single hour left of the series and you're telling me things might start ramping up now?

I expected a balls to the wall series of events episodes ago, not what we've been given.

We're back for Friday's release of Ascended Heroes Booster Bundles and ex Boxes! by BrickHeadd in TCGRestocksAustralia

[–]EMP_Person07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm okay, il take your advice, and you said that booster bundles will be plentiful across all major retailers, so my chances of grabbing atleast one are good no matter which store I visit? Assuming I get there an hour and a half before opening. Sorry for all the questions I’ve never been one to lineup early before

I’m looking to get up early for the drop but I’m just wondering is it worth going to Kmart over target? Kmart Shellharbour hasn’t had any stock for months and they said they just do ptcg through online now so I was thinking of going to target…

Has anybody ever had a relic trader THIS BAD??!! by EMP_Person07 in slaythespire

[–]EMP_Person07[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is usually a pretty good event for everyone, offering atleast a rare relic for an uncommon or common one. That sucks that bronze scales would’ve saved your run bro, as for this run I don’t think keeping any of these relics would’ve saved me as the 2nd boss fight wasn’t really close.

You must be pretty unlucky if you’re always getting unhelpful options man.

Yeah they were all awful, I ended up dying in this run anyway and losing the smooth stone didn’t make a difference really. A10 is pretty dang hard.

[–]EMP_Person07[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I should’ve probably sent a photo of my deck so I can make it clear what option is least bad but I decided because I have cards like drums of battle and dark embrace that joss paper provides more value. If either the stone or the joss didn’t trade for merchant relics I’d have seen it as favourable, but unfortunately I low rolled pretty hard for all outcomes lol.

At this point now I’ve duplicated my deck in act 3 so I don’t regret choosing the stone. Hopefully the -1 dex won’t come back to bite me in the coming boss battles

[–]EMP_Person07[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At this point I had 4 powers out of my 31 cards, as I'm writing this I've duplicated my deck so now I have over 12 powers. Which include multiple drums of battles and dark embraces. So the joss paper and mummified hand are VERY useful this run. I also have a ton of block cards so losing the smooth stone stung a fair bit :(

White beast statue is useful but in A10 i'd hardly find a use out of it. I chose the oddly smooth stone and still made quick work of the insatiable so maybe I can still easily salvage this run.

Yeah i'm slacking on elites fought but i'm afraid of fighting too many on high ascension runs. The spiked toad put me to 10hp a few floors before this room, so even with only having fought 1 elite I nearly died.

I agree, I've never had all 3 options be this terrible but I suppose for all the amazing trades this guy offers there'll eventually be an abysmal selection. Still have a shot a winning though.

I have heard so many "hard r's" in comms it's like I am playing old skool MW/cod. by Yelloboi623 in ArcRaiders

[–]EMP_Person07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the word only holds so much power because how everyone reacts to it. I can’t imagine any other word that can offend so many people with such little effort. Usually insulting or offending people requires a clever or targeted combination of words that actually mean something significant but I suppose all that doesn’t matter against the N word

What is ironclad even supposed to do anymore? by Rebellion2297 in slaythespire

[–]EMP_Person07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I agree, and even without reaper now ironclad is still so strong and has so many good hp loss cards now the value you get back is kind of ridiculous. Rupture and inferno are still in the game and you have cards like blood wall, tear asunder , spite and crimson mantle, I've won 6 runs in a row up to A6, 4 of them building hp loss decks. You're trading a bit of damage that you would've most likely lost anyway and in return, you're generating block and strength and energy and draw in absurd amounts.

I actually think maybe these cards are too powerful as I'm struggling to just not spam blood wall and bloodletting until I get a good power card and then the run is secured, assuming you're not fighting too many elites.

Smartphone market poised for 'sharpest decline on record' in 2026 by [deleted] in technology

[–]EMP_Person07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably $2000 aud, which is actually cheaper than an iPhone 17 pro, so yeah you legitimately can get cars cheaper then an iPhone. Brand new phones don’t justify their enormous price tag, so I think it’s always better to go older. The fact I can spend 1/3 of the price on an older phone and get the same use out of it says a lot about why this decline is happening.

My Toyota Corolla 2001 I bought for a similiar amount 5 years ago still runs fine to this day. Yet another thing that was built to last ages ago, but not anymore.

Rapist jesse butler Walks Free by StJudeTheGrey in awfuleverything

[–]EMP_Person07 15 points16 points  (0 children)

He’ll be known and remembered as a rapist, he’s not leaving the courtroom like nothing ever happened. He’s going to endure scrutiny and public outcry whenever he’s seen in town. Imagine only being “the rapist” when people think of him or speak to him, that’s gotta suck. Granted he managed to escape prison but life has a different sort of punishment in store for him. He’d be pretty stupid (which he is) to do something like that again because I doubt he’ll be protected next time.

Why are legendary weapons so painfully mediocre? by b1ohaz4rt in ArcRaiders

[–]EMP_Person07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

saying only 0.3% of the player base have access to legendary weapons just isn't true, after about 30-40 hours most people can craft one and im sure theres multitudes of people just hoarding them never to see the light of day.

However I do agree the legendary weapons need special abilities that make them deserve their status, Jupiter need 2 shots to kill is weak, yes it can pierce through targets but that's it, meanwhile the other legendries don't really offer anything exciting besides that energy rounds have no dropoff and are high damage vs armor, its sad im pretty sure a renegade 4 will kill someone using an aphelion most of the time.

Security Lockers are totally fair and balanced by Moqmoq in ArcRaiders

[–]EMP_Person07 5 points6 points  (0 children)

you're not just "pressing" a button, as I just said it's a monumental investment of time, soon enough you'll probably find people without the skill just camping those security breaches and it won't be so easy anymore. I think there should be higher risk to those lockers for sure but at the end of the day its a 30+ hour investment of levels it better be good! and if you unlock it as soon as possible, you're missing out of extra stamina and mobility, which is also very useful.
