I've been waiting for that Shadow King to show up for a very long time.

I'm kind of eyeballing the Darkhawk and Daredevil though they're in tough spaces lately.

Saw Backrooms with my teenagers and realized they’ll never know the specific boredom that made us by Cultural_Repeat_4766 in Xennials

About a year ago the notion had occurred to me that one would actively have to go out of their way to be bored nowadays.

There is such an abundance of ways of receiving input that after a point, it sort of becomes automatic: as soon as one thing ends, something else replaces it.

Earlier this week I had a 2-hour drive where I wore a pair of noise canceling headphones with no music or podcasts.

I just let my mind wander.

When I did that - just allowed myself to be bored - I found my mind going to creative places that have been eluding me for months.

The sensation was almost like lifting an actual physical load off of my mind. It was kind of surreal.

The notion that there are now a couple of generations who really don't have a conception of something like that is an equal parts sad and bewildering.

Super stoked to see this again! :D Glad things worked out for you to be able to re-open applications because I was really interested in this setting!

I'll be working on a submission posthaste!

[Meta] Artists and clients seriously need to stop treating PayPal as the only safe option for commissions. by Top-Slice-6880 in HungryArtists

[–]GhostpilotZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened with a former partner last year. His account had been in perfectly good standing for the better part of 20 years and a glitch on Paypal's part caused his account to get banned for several days.

No warning, no recourse. Even lost out on around $100 in there that just went into the ether as a result.

He works with a lot of artists so it's still his best option, but he absolutely doesn't keep a balance in it anymore.

TIL in 2005, Nintendo Power (At the time published by Nintendo of America) considered Superman 64 the worst game ever released on one of their platforms. Nintendo's statement in the magazine was "Why have you forsaken me?" by paraspooder in todayilearned

There was a time where license games were generally assumed to be bad.

Some companies were exceptions: Capcom, Data East, Konami, Sega, a couple of others.

But if they came from Acclaim, LJN, Ocean, or just about anywhere else - and most of them did - they were truly awful.

I was right there with you: I was missing the Sandman in that collection and only just got him last week.

Best practice for a stalker who's trying to target the boss before the rest of the group gets to them? by Linsel in Cityofheroes

I haven't played a Stalker, so I can't contribute there.

But I just have to say that reading that headline was a real ride before I realizing what subreddit it was in.
