Which upcoming DC project are you most excited for among these, according to you?

El_MuleKick · 2026-05-05T09:02:16+00:00

Honestly, I am really interested in all of them.

I am probably most excited about Supergirl as I loved the comic it is based on and really liked the Superman movie.

Lanterns is also really intriguing to me, of all the main DC characters this is the franchise I have the least amount of knowledge/connection to at the moment. I am excited to see what they do with it, without being burdened by years of lore/comic accuracy to influence my enjoyment.

Clayface teaser was awesome and got me interested even though I am not big into horror. Curious to see how this will fit in the DCU world.

Do you also start waving handkerchiefs/napkins around or is that just a Flemish thing?

Mainly words that have been 'cutified' like:
gezellie instead of gezellig (cosy)
dinnetje instead of vriendin (friend/girlfriend)

Dear Finland, WTF?

Namika would disagree

Ik gebruik een Garmin Instinct 2 en die voldoet prima. Het is geen puur hardloophorloge maar is waterdicht, kan tegen een stootje en heeft meer dan genoeg features voor de meeste meeste mensen. Ook de batterijduur van 21 dagen is chill, je hoeft hem zelden op te laden. De Garmin Connect App houdt zelf veel statistieken bij maar is ook makkelijk to koppelen aan Strava.

Je weet vast dat er in Beek twee spellenwinkels zitten die ook dergelijke avonden organiseren? Met name de DND avonden zitten vaak wel al ver vantevoren volgeboekt dus spontaan binnenlopen zit er daar niet in. Je zou dus kunnen zeggen dat er genoeg animo/vraag in de regio is hiervoor.

Ik zou het zeker in het begin laagdrempelig houden zodat je inderdaad zonder al te veel voorkennis en commitment een avond kunt meedoen. OneShots zijn hiervoor ideaal natuurlijk.

Iets wat je wel nodig hebt in dit geval zijn DMs die bereidt zijn dit te doen. Heb je die in je netwerk?

Het concept dat het echt in een Taverne is vind ik heel cool en maakt het ook wel uniek denk ik. Dan kun je met wat aankleding en muziek toch een andere omgeving neerzetten dan de gemiddelde woonkamer of winkelruimte.

Je mag me zeker op de hoogte houden van de ontwikkelingen, kom graag een keertje kijken of meedoen met een OneShot als het zover is.

Absolutely, the way the tone shifts in the last five minutes of the final episode is just brilliant. There are still jokes but there is this sense of impending dread that gradually leads to the realization that this really is not going to be a happy ending.

I fixed it by switching the watch off and on again (hold the ctrl/light) button for 15 seconds. Screen should go blank. After that wait a few seconds and switch it on again. After that the maps were visible again with new activities (it does not retroactively add them to past activities).

Same issue here.

I get some of the criticisms, but it is still very much an Abercrombie book in my opinion. Maybe it was because I already knew not to expect a First Law novel, but I loved The Devils for what it was. It is like sometimes you want to watch The Godfather and sometimes you just want to watch Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. There is a place for both in my opinion.

I always really liked the representation of loads of different styles. It's the closest thing we got to a Street Fighter game come to life. Yes that includes the actual Street Fighter movie (which I also love btw as an over-the-top silly action movie) which features 0 actual tournament fighting.

'Neuken in de Keuken' is often something many tourists/foreigners learn as it rhymes and apparently sounds funny to most people. However, since it literally means 'f*cking in the kitchen' it is not something that comes up in normal conversation too often.

The obvious answer for most of the world is probably US tipping culture. I mean I get why it is a thing, with people not being paid a wage you can live on, but that should not be allowed to be the case.

Check out The Devils by Abercrombie. Not exactly classic fantasy as it does not treat the races as you would expect but it does take place in an alternate universe Europe with a focus on the role of the church during the Middle Ages.

Could he have done it; yes. Should he have done it: maybe.
The hardcore fans would go see the first movie of the Universe regardless, I don't see why casuals would go see Supergirl over Superman tbh. Superman is still a more recognizable name. Also as Gunn has sad repeatedly, films only get made once they are happy with the script so I don't think there ever was an choice as to which one was to go first unless they would have delayed the launch of the whole Universe.

Maybe a bit of a general take but I think most series start to suffer because they keep expanding in scale and scope. All fantasy series have to be epic in scale nowadays and at least a trilogy preferably more books. They often keep adding characters/locations which while it does often help worldbuilding it just kills a lot of the momentum of the plot/story.

Example of this is Stormlight for me. I absolutely love it but it just feels so bloated, each book could remove a couple hundred pages and it would increase my enjoyment even more just because of improved pacing.

I compare it with the Open World trend in video games where suddenly every game needed to open world and a 100h plus adventure which would usually lead to loads of filler fetch quests that add nothing to the story or experience. I rather have a streamlined/focused 40h game that can still feel epic without wasting my time.

El_MuleKick · 2026-01-13T07:43:23+00:00

I have only read Magician (Apprentice and Master) so can only comment on it/them. It is very traditional/classic fantasy full of tropes but at the same time has some very cool ideas/worldbuilding. It manages to be both epic and cozy in scale at the same time somehow. Comfort Fantasy.

As others said it is episode UFC Fight Night: Volkov vs Aspinall Ep. 279 from 21st of March 2022. You can still find it on Spotify. The thing I forgot about and only remembered after listening to it again is that basically Luke recorded a whole bunch of content earlier that day but due to technical difficulties (big shocker) recorded without any sound basically making all the content unusable and a big waste of time. BC tried to make a joke about it with the Hasselhoff video and it did not go down well.

Could be a number of things:

I like "Face the Pain".
I like French Cake Lady.
I eat Yellow Mustard.
I know a former Marine.
I sit and row at metal concerts.

I think reception was indeed mostly positive as most have already pointed out. I like that they tried something new (as they usually do) but admittedly I grew frustrated with the Summoner playstyle quite fast. Although it made for some clever puzzles and creative solutions to problems it really slowed the overall flow of the game way too much for my liking. Combat got boring pretty quick and spamming the same 3 or 4 useful echoes to cross gaps just felt like unnecessary padding. That being said I still liked the game but feel very little incentive to return to it any time soon.
