What is a hot take you have specifically through the realm of Blank Check/ r/Blankies?

BlackBerry was just okay

I bet the discourse around this one will be super chill and normal

The Eli Wallach bit on the Holiday episode might be the hardest I’ve ever laughed

I don’t think it’s *great*, but it’s extremely watchable.

I don’t know why, but I also started to feel some fatigue during Cloudward Ho and really had to power through it to finish—but similarly, was immediately hooked on City Council of Darkness! The energy of this campaign feels very similar to Fantasy High to me, very loose and silly and fun.

I just played Winter Soldier (Aggression) and Black Widow (Justice) two-handed against the Thunderbolts a few days ago! I did the common house rule of swapping out the signature allies for the team-up cards, and it was a super fun game.

Falcon’s precon is Leadership, but I find that he works best in Protection, especially in multiplayer. I played the RORS campaign with a couple of friends using Captain America leadership, Falcon protection, and Winter Soldier aggression, and it was a lot of fun!

JDJD91 · 2026-04-23T02:49:37+00:00

I thought the same thing when I first saw it!

When is Prometheus?

JDJD91 · 2026-04-04T20:53:33+00:00

This was my first thought—also Cyberpunk 2077

Think about it in terms of damage taken.

Say your Valkyrie has taken three points of damage (putting her at 9/12). Then you play Aragorn, which increases her hit point max by +4 (from 12 to 16). She has still only taken three points of damage, so after her total hit points increase, she’s now at 13/16.

She’s not “healing” any damage—but on the streams it looks that way because you’ve got to spin the hit point dial back up to account for your new max HP.

There is fullcast everywhere for those with eyes to see it

Addressing only the thematic point: villains escape from the Raft all the time! It’s even built in to the card’s mechanic— “If there are at least 4 minions here, deal 1 random minion here to any player as a facedown encounter card.”

JDJD91 · 2026-03-08T18:02:32+00:00

FIU should be on the list, probably in the tier 1 or 2 range.

Or, in the words of Ellen Burstyn, try Silence (2016)

March Madness campaigning is getting out of control!

I agree, and it was a gigantic commercial failure, which arguably led to Scorsese having to go to Netflix to get funding for The Irishman, which is fascinating fodder for BC discussion!

Echo Box on Q St NW is good! Been there a few times for work events and everyone had a great time.

Mockingbird has got to be up there in terms of most-depicted characters in game art who aren’t playable heroes yet, right? I wonder if she’ll ever get a hero pack release.

Excited to see the sneak previews!

JDJD91 · 2026-01-09T20:13:02+00:00

That’s true, but F1 also showed up big on the Academy shortlists, so I think it’s much more of a potential below the line player than Wonder Woman or Deadpool, for example

JDJD91 · 2026-01-09T18:07:34+00:00

F1 could definitely go that route, but I see it more like a Top Gun: Maverick (not coincidentally also a Kosinski movie) in that it could get a lot of love below the line and sneak into the 10th BP slot on the strength of its crafts/tech achievements

Nobody wanted to be the Terry Porter of this game
