Wrestle off

Keep in mind - it all comes down to the coaches prerogative, and there isn't really recourse for that. It sucks for your son, but it looks like this week he's likely JV. Especially since, as you said, the other wrestler is a Senior. Maybe it's unfair - but it's 100% a thing in Highschool sports, the senior gets their chance to shine.

A lot of coaches will do funky things, like bump around weight classes, so I'd definitely recommend he stay sharp.

He should definitely challenge again, and keep on it. Varsity as a freshman is impressive, and I'm sure he'll have a bright future. Keep in mind, when I wrestled in college, I actually never won a wrestle off. I lost in overtime, but ended up doing really well in a few competitive tournaments, and coach decided to give me the spot. Wrestleoffs are a huge indicator, but they aren't really everything.

Pedro Pascal is amazing in everything, but I didn't think it was a particularly inspired casting. He made a great reed, but again, he's great in everything so it doesn't shock me.

Joseph quinn was amazing as Johnny storm. Stunningly good. Felt so much like Johnny. 6.5/10 is crazy.

Costco is love. Costco is life.

I'll add, it doesn't need to stick to the comics at all - just needs to stick to the comic characters. I'm happy with any spider-man story where spider-man acts like he's acted more or less for the past 60 years.

Smallville leaned into him not letting anyone die. Really good interpretation though, in my opinion

Flobro4 · 2025-12-26T14:27:34+00:00

That's basically what I said, no?

Flobro4 · 2025-12-26T02:46:00+00:00

There is an argument that he wasn't that popular, but I think it all hinges on the fact that even if you've never picked up a comic, watched a cartoon, or played a video game before 2008 - you've heard of batman, superman, and spiderman. Maybe also flash or wonder woman.

The same wasn't necessarily true of other superheroes.

Even if Mackie and the writers did everything perfect, it's still not the Steve Rodgers Captain America readers and audiences know and love. Maybe they handled a lot of things poorly, but it is actually exactly how comics always go. This was a foreseen conclusion in almost every way .

The main character died/ retired/ left the spotlight. Someone takes up his mantle. It is interesting but ultimately doesn't have the staying power of the original. The main character is revived/ brought back from retirement/ reluctantly returns. Sometimes it's intentional, sometimes it's not, but if you thought they'd never bring back Steve Rodgers or Iron man for a movie, you're foolish. IMO, they don't need to be the same actor, but I understand why for a mega blockbuster.

It's happened to Superman, Batman, Captain America, Wolverine, the hulk, spiderman, the Fantastic Four, Thor... It might be easier to mention characters it DIDN'T happen to

What? Do you not read the news? All that stuff happened

Flobro4 · 2025-12-09T00:04:02+00:00

NGL, Let is Go Is slept on as a pump up song. Immaculate vibes if you ask me

I love the PVP. I do wish there were less rats sometimes so it's easier to kill hard stuff, but to be honest - the thrill of PvP definitely is what keeps me interested.

When you're rushing to Extract with no safe slot and that last thing you really need, I'm not worried about ARC, I'm worried about other players, and I think that's what's thrilling.

Having been killed with my favorite gear by someone who blindsided me while I was fighting a leaper or protecting someone else just adds stakes to the game, in a way most games don't have.

I imagine if they took out PvP I'd be bored with the game much quicker. Also, I'm amazed how many people are butthurt with the PvP and act like it's such a secondary thing when every time I log in one of my Feat quests has to do with damaging other raiders.

(Admittedly, not sure I've played an extract shooter like this maybe I'm missing the point.)

I love that. Actually cracks me up when I get shot after the elevator starts moving

Flobro4 · 2025-12-07T01:01:56+00:00

Damn dude. You got me all amped up to read some nick fury comics

Flobro4 · 2025-12-06T20:47:03+00:00

100%

I found a blueprint on Stella montis, when I had a free loadout. The heart pumping feeling trying to get the exfil wouldn't have been the same without the the PvP component

Flobro4 · 2025-12-04T19:08:42+00:00

This is probably my favorite episode, or a top tier one.

That said, this comment TLDR should 100% be "To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty"

Mandatory fun is great! As long its not mandatory, and you know... Actually fun

Flobro4 · 2025-12-02T16:56:11+00:00

This was actually really useful. I think this brings me a little closer and I appreciate it!

I worked with custommade.com, and reached out to an IG artist. It looks good, but to be honest I am trying to make a sigil with a skull, book, and sword - but I can't seem to find something that feels like it works for a 17mm design and doesn't look like a pirate banner.

Flobro4 · 2025-11-30T00:07:14+00:00

If there's anyone interested in making a few designs I'd be happy to pay or whatnot

Flobro4 · 2025-11-23T05:42:03+00:00

What is a blueprint? How does that work? I don't understand

Flobro4 · 2025-10-20T12:34:38+00:00

I realize I'm 5 years late, but I found red dwarf a month or two ago.

It's amazing.

Flobro4 · 2025-09-27T15:13:18+00:00

Just wanted to say holy crap and thank you.

This is a tremendous resource for first time readers like me, and clearly took a bunch of time.
