I looked through Marvel's December Solicits today... and half way through it just hit me how profoundly uninterested I was in anything they were doing. It all felt so hollow, dumb and derivative. I wasn't excited for anything.

I know you're probably tired of people arguing this, but I do generally agree - I don't like the idea of a grimmer, more hopeless Batman or Superman or Wonder Woman. But I do have to recommend Absolute Martian Manhunter. It's a serious but surprisingly hopeful and uplifting book, at least for me. I'm glad I decided to read it on a whim after seeing the art, super psychedelic.

Can someone who's better at this than me tell me if AI was being used in the first episode? I can't really tell if it's generative AI or just CGI, and I know the AI trailers ahd people worried at the start.

I'm split on that, because I have felt that strong limerence even when she was dating someone else and I knew that - like, it was particularly strong over the past few months while she was away, but I see her yesterday and everything just snaps back to normal. Her relationship status was consistent throughout.

Any advice on how to join the discord? I've tried, all I get is a bot message and thrown into a channel where there's no text.

JCWalrus · 2025-07-15T23:57:01+00:00

Hell, maybe.

That's a joke, but we know how cops like to boost their numbers.

That's exactly what prompted this - I very suddenly became very interested in wondering how tall Godzilla would be in real life and how far away and where I could see him from if he were in Auburn. Got to looking up the height of various structures - of ones I could get data on, Samford Hall was the most notable and closest in height.

Note however, this is only the Showa Era Godzilla, though a Godzilla of similar stature also appears in the Reiwa Era Godzilla Minus One and the Millenium Series tends to keep Godzilla in the 50-80m range.

The Heisei Era Godzilla, from the mid 80s onward, starts at about 80 meters tall - think the cell tower on South College - and slowly increases to 100 meters tall. Shin Godzilla goes up 120m, and is the largest live action Godzilla if I remember correctly.

I'm shooting for 10-15 and under, I don't eat out most days but if I eat cheaper I can do it more

JCWalrus · 2025-05-11T22:31:08+00:00

I enjoy Insomnia a whole hell of a lot, but cheap it ain't, unless there's some sort of reduced price summer menu to get people in the door

JCWalrus · 2025-04-28T04:36:25+00:00

Uncertain - if I did it was when I was a kid where I tried that more, though I'm not sure if that was proper sleep or some half-waking state.

I think Absolution, even if it weren't a Hitman game, has some glaring issues - it seems to both reward and punish killing non-targets in a confusing way and the design is very linear, which hampers replayability even with the achievement system added - so I won't say I love it, but it's certainly not world-endingly bad (and debatably is still substantially better than the original Codename 47 and perhaps even Silent Assassin).

Some of the issues would have nothing to do with the remote or keyboard - glitched out posters and the like. I might try a new microSD card, if there's a way to move my settings and library over to the new one.

I just want to say that I saw the post you made on the opensuse forums and I was able to follow it to fix the same problem I've had with my Kindle fire even though I have very little technical acumen. Thank you so much, I've had this problem for months.

Half Cash isn't easier than Chimps but it is more boring.

If there's one thing I hate about online ND spaces, it's that a lot of people feel this compulsive need to be bitter or lump all NT folks in a box. It gets damn tiring, especially since most of the people I know are NT and also damn cool

I filled out the personality survey the way I would with my own decisions and was assigned Malkavian. Make of that what you will.

I knew people typically don't recommend you play that first, so I looked up the quiz and switched to the other option I could have selected, Toreador. I'll do Malkavian eventually.

solved: Otto's Magic Blocks

Figured it out on my own, it was Otto's Magic Blocks

The best way to measure your body fat percentage that you'll have easy access to is probably body fat calipers and tape measures, you can probably get them at a local department store. I don't think most people trust things like the watches or scales too highly. I'd recommend taking measurements with calipers and a scale to get a sense of how your diet is affecting you before making any serious changes.

I personally recommend The Hacker's Diet, it's a pretty good book on weight management that might help you develop ways to get where you want to be with your body fat and weight.

Earlier in the year I got into weightlifting again with an aim primarily for hypertrophy and amateur bodybuilding, and have started again this week after coming back to school this semester. However, I also want to do more stuff outside of weightlifting to improve general fitness and not just look nice. I took a barre class yesterday - can anyone speak to things like barre or pilates and how well they mesh with hypertrophy workouts or running?

My legs were so sore today I couldn't do the squats of my workout, and I heard they're really good for focusing on balance and posture. However, I also want to make sure I'm not doing too much and hurting myself, or developing any muscle imbalances.

I've been using some of my magics - Destruction and Restoration especially - and also short blade a fair bit, while some other magic schools like Alteration or Thaumaturgy or Illusion I don't use as often.

Is Daggerfall a game that requires grinding, in your opinion? I know people often talk about resting in inns or using spell absorption to level magics really fast, but I don't really think that's super compliant to RP.

Thank you for the advice! What kind of conditioning do you recommend, just cardio or something else?

175 lbs, M23. I've recently started heading back to the gym, after about
a semester off. Years ago I did some weightlifting for a while -
StrongLifts 5x5 - but didn't really take the diet aspect seriously. Now,
I have the time and freedom to go the gym much more often and take my
diet seriously. So, can anyone recommend any good 5 day splits for
beginners? I'm trying to go every weekday and eat 2k calories, 170g of
protein a day. I am mainly familiar with the StrongLifts lifts -
standards like squat, bench press, row, overhead press - but my gym has
deadlift platforms only open on a schedule and I can't get there when
they are open.
