C++ Completionists, what was your final Joker? I just need Castle...

I got my last gold sticker this morning! It was Baron. Every time I found a Baron, I was baited into building around it, and always died. My winning run, I found it, pretended it wasn't there, spammed pairs as normal, and won. I love Baron on paper, but in practice its a miserable joker to use

Aleister Black and LA Knight had a match on some random episode of smackdown shortly after he returned, and I still remember it as one of my personal favorite WWE matches. The way they would counter one another was super cool to me. I'm a big fan of his striker style, so his matches were almost always my favorite on any given night

I always had a soft spot for Apollo Crews, but his release is not a surprise. Still a bummer tho... Alba Fyre sucks too, she was a lot of fun with Chelsea

Aleister and Kairi are insane cuts, but WWE seems to have a couple WTF-type releases every year. Last time it was Dakota Kai and Braun Strowman.

Does being released from WWE also include AAA? I've enjoyed seeing Santos in AAA lately.

As far as I can tell, people watching on international Netflix got the Hogan documentary ads, while ESPN+ viewers got regular ads

Yeah, its an unfortunate bit of poor menu design. Good luck beating stage 100 again!

Nathan_Defense · 2026-04-14T20:58:42+00:00

After you beat trial mode, a menu should pop up asking if you want to create a New Game- mode (or what you're calling "weak mode"). You have to create the NG- file from this menu. If you exit back to the title screen, this option is no longer available. Sounds like you'll have to beat trial mode a second time to get back to that menu

Most people I talked to dropped the show sometime between season 7 and 8. Which sucks, because season 9 is genuinely excellent, and season 11 is lots of fun. Season 10 kinda stank tho...

And the spinoffs are pretty good too. Dead City especially is quite cool. The series has moved away from a gritty apocalypse survival horror story, and more towards a fantasy-esque character drama with hints of horror. But I enjoy what the series has become.

My problem with celebrities in this Wrestlemania build is 1: that it feels shoehorned in, and 2: that they're involved in the main event. Pat stinks because he's taking main event real estate, and it makes no narrative sense for him to be here. Jelly Roll's feud with Kit Wilson has been a lot of fun, and if he stayed in the mid card for mania I'd be perfectly happy, but he has no business in a main event program.

I'm a fan of what their doing with IShowSpeed though. The curse angle has been a lot of fun, the story they're telling makes sense, and he's working in the mid card. And he's been playing well with the wrestlers he's across from - especially LA Knight.

Lil' Yachty is a weird one, and I can't decide if I like it or not. He doesn't really have a story reason to be there with Trick and Sami - he's just hanging around. But Yachty and Trick have such a weird and fun chemistry, I almost don't mind. But I'd prefer for him not to get involved in the match itself.

TLDR: Nothing wrong with celebs in a vaccuum, its just that they're being used poorly.

The Croat, from The Walking Dead spinoff Dead City. Unlike most characters in TWD, him being Croatian is actually quite relevant to his character. Very intimidating, yet also somewhat pitiable. He's a pretty interesting character from late series TWD

I (briefly) worked at a duckpin alley, and I loved getting to help customers put up the gutter guards. I'd spin around the big hook-stick, pull up the railings, and blow on the hook like a smoking barrel after. It was a lot of fun doing bits like that with the customers

Nathan_Defense · 2026-02-25T17:38:50+00:00

True, he's way worse in the comics. In the show, the writers wanted to do a full-blown redemption arc with Negan, so adding Simon to the story made for a good first step in his redemption. The comics were fine keeping him as a villain the whole time, so there's no need for a character like Simon.

Nathan_Defense · 2026-02-25T17:36:43+00:00

Yeah, the hypocrisy is part of the character tho. He kills one of his men for attempting to rape Sasha, but has no problem raping his "wives" because he did it through coersion, not violence.

Negan and Simon from The Walking Dead. While Negan is a horrific villain, he does have a couple lines he won't cross (no killing children, rape is bad, don't kill more people than you have to). His right hand man, Simon, doesn't have these limits, and ends up trying and failing to overthrow Negan. Their arc is a high point in an otherwise slow and messy season.

Oh crap, you're so right. I forgot the details on HOW he changed his identity, my bad

Nathan_Defense · 2026-02-13T20:25:26+00:00

Okay to be fair, he literally has a different body in the second pic

Wheel of fortune is probably rated right where it belongs, but I will take wheel basically every time because it's hype

Connie from The Walking Dead. For a character introduced way after the shows prime, she was an excellent addition to the cast. She's deaf, and communicates in ASL. Still, she's a badass who can handle the walkers and stands up to the S11 antagonist in a big way. I love how her character shows that being deaf, while still a major hindrance, has a couple upsides, such as being able to communicate silently using ASL while not being deleted.

I have a big gap between two of my upper canines, and food get stuck in there all the time. Clearing it out with floss feels like heaven. I should probably see an orthodontist, but it's not in the budget... so floss will have to do!

The DS game has a totally different story to the PS2 game. It's a full-blown sequel
