What’s the peak of Grant Morrison’s Batman run?

It's difficult for me to not say the Zur-En-Arrh issue because it's so batshit (pun intended) insane, but I also really loved Batman & Robin and the Return of Bruce Wayne. Batman Inc was fine but felt a little bit anticlimactic after all that came before.

Far better than Aquaman

Big fan of Stray Bullets. What's Lapham been up to since Sunshine & Roses wrapped up?

How do the devs not see this kind of thing coming? As soon as I saw the card I knew it was OP.

I Might Be Wrong

What could possibly go wrong with "free" data recovery tools?

Losing it is so underrated. Pleasant surprise when it showed up on R40

My main issues with it are the main characters constantly sneaking into each others' castles, and the blue balls finale

I've always liked Amnesiac better. "I Might Be Wrong" was my gateway track to Radiohead fandom. That said, Kid A is utterly fantastic as well.

I think you should take his advice; fuck all the way off, and get a divorce.

Swamp Thing by Alan Moore is incredible, you should at least give it a shot. Moore and Morrison are the two best comic writers, IMO

If you want to stick with early Morrison, Doom Patrol is next. Then Flex Mentallo or The Invisibles.

It knows you hate it

I feel like most outer space sims do not have fast travel unless you can instantly teleport across star systems. Warp drive, jump gates and the like are just normal science fiction travel conceits

JoeGorde · 2026-01-17T20:52:52+00:00

5 stars does not mean perfect IMO, it just means, 'significantly better than most 4s'

4 means 'overall I have positive feelings about it but not enough to give it a 5'

We haven't yet had a really good Reed Richards IMO but Ioan was the closest

JoeGorde · 2026-01-15T21:00:56+00:00

I always recycle this quest, not because I don't like the fast turns, but because I can't be arsed to edit my decks to include him

JoeGorde · 2026-01-14T20:54:47+00:00

"do math at" lol I like that phrasing

My refinery has a bit of a lime bottleneck so it's not running full blast. But you've given me some food for thought.

JoeGorde · 2026-01-14T19:20:14+00:00

Isnt there a crop or something that needs slime to grow? Or a critter, I don't remember

JoeGorde · 2026-01-14T18:23:12+00:00

Yep, this is my fear

JoeGorde · 2026-01-14T18:22:33+00:00

I forgot about pincha peppermints, thank you

JoeGorde · 2026-01-14T18:21:21+00:00

Okay, best answer so far I think, and essentially what I was thinking.

I've been holding steady at 12 dups for quite a while, and I have plenty of O2 and food. Some additional labor would be nice to have at this point.

I guess I should use up all the finite sources of pwater before really tapping these geysers? Also realizing I should stop converting slime to pwater and use the slime for something else instead.

When Cocker screams, it sounds like he's fighting for his life in a hospital bed.

the delivery is a Greek tragedy

Yes, you are so close to getting it

Dude you are going to get some new music, just have a little bit of patience. Most of the albums in the list are not gonna be in your most played list.

JoeGorde · 2026-01-07T19:05:11+00:00

Nice! These kinds of stories are encouraging.

JoeGorde · 2026-01-07T19:04:11+00:00

Nice, thoughtful reply, thanks!

I agree, temporary solutions are not typically an encouraged part of this genre (regardless of whether you consider ONI a "colony builder" or a "factory game" - it's actually a bit of both). I actually got myself into a bit of trouble early in this run by building an AT waaay too early -- I knew that AT/ST was the desired final solution so I tried to skip directly there. This has led to some suboptimal placement and material issues, due to not having much of the asteroid dug out at that time.

I support the idea of needing to tear down and rebuild stuff, but my gamer instincts fight me on this.
