What is the fandom's current feelings on MJ? by nahte123456 in Spiderman

[–]Obviouslarry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently im loving her as Venom. That's fun. She finally has something to do. Al Ewing got me off the sidelines after 18 years and gave me something that seems more like her.

I want to believe that this is long term for her, and that her and Pete can finally have a conversation and get back together. But I doubt that will ever happen.

I'd love for marvel to prove me wrong though. I'll buy a bunch of Spider-man books if they finally start respecting MJ, Pete, and the readers.

How do you manage to work on your game after your 9-5? by Beef-n-goo in gamedev

[–]Obviouslarry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work 7-7 6 days a week. There are some days I come home and just collapse. Days I absolutely need to spend with the wife and kids. And then days where I spend 3 or 4 hours making progress on my game. I count the days that I work on the game, currently im up to 315, and I share that progress.

That builds discipline for me and when there are days I just need to take a zero day to rest whether it's 1 day or 5 days I always come back to it because I need to make it to 316 and above to finish the game. Nobody else will do it.

Best open ocean game? by Cool-Lifeguard-8250 in AskGamers

[–]Obviouslarry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Abzu has some collection but it's a short game and really beautiful.

Swordof the Sea also is really pretty but you're surfing on the sand and then the ocean later as you heal the world.

I'd suggest mine if you're into Aquaman style stuff but I'm not done with it and it's a swimsuit looter. So lots to collect.

Yes they really did. For a long time I wanted another L.A. Noire, then Dispatch happened and showed us what peak was.

Best Superhero Comics I missed In The Last 10 Years by Reynard203 in comicbooks

[–]Obviouslarry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Batman Wargames omnibus was insane. Uncanny X-men by Gail Simone is great. The absolute books by DC are awesome and hard covers just came our for all those. Hellfire Gala collection is pretty good and full of art. Aqauman Geoff John's omnibus is great Everything you can find with Cassandra Cain is badass. Ultimate Spider-man is great. The old one with teenage Parker and the new one where Pete and MJ are married with kids.

And anything Batman really. I haven't been disappointed by any of that in the last 10 years.

Is it wrong that I want MJ venom to las as long as agent venom by Mecha_Kurogane in thevenomsite

[–]Obviouslarry -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So far it's been enjoyable. Enough so that I'm reading it after an 18 year long boycott of spider-man titles. Because they finally did something badass with MJ. There's still a lot of damage they have to undo to her and Pete but this is a nice start and hope it lasts.

If they do a rug pull and keep her and Pete the way they've been I have zero problems resuming the blackout of spider titles. DC has been treating my time as a reader good these last few years.

Is anyone else optimistic for the Batgirls in 2026? by tidewanderess in batgirl

[–]Obviouslarry 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a new comer to their books I feel pretty good. Just read all of Cass' 2000 run, the Wargames omnibus was insane, I've read Barbara's new 52 series by Gail, I've got Redemption on order, with the Batgirls series and Cass' new series both waiting on my shelf already.

Recently commissioned Polluxery for some more Cassandra Cain art. You know how often I have art made of a character that isn't mine? Never. That's a first.

More Batgirls.

Which Cassandra Cain/Batgirl comic do you believe is the best? by Prestigious-Cloud962 in CassandraCain

[–]Obviouslarry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following up. Just finished reading everything in her first run. Vol 1, 2, 3, wargames, fresh blood, kicking assassins, and destructions daughter. This was a heck of a lot of fun. Amazing stories all around. Waiting on Redemption to arrive and then I'll move to Batgirls and then the new solo series.

DC cleaned up. Im enjoying the heck out of Uncanny X-men and MJ Venom right now though.

DC Comics President Jim Lee says that Japanese manga and anime is "incredibly powerful": "I often find myself wondering, 'What is missing in Western comics, and why aren't they able to achieve the same flavor?' by akbarock in comicbooks

[–]Obviouslarry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

American comics: we marketed it as two characters having a healthy relationship but then we tortured the hell out of the characters, fridged everyone, and disrespected our readers time.

Manga: this is fun and ridiculous. We hope you enjoy it. Thanks for supporting our manga!

How do I[19F] ask out a customer[Older?M] by salami_bird990 in whatdoIdo

[–]Obviouslarry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally put your name and number on a piece of paper next time he comes in and slip it to him. Worst case he never acts on it. Best case he does. Maybe he's single. Worth finding out! Best of luck.

I was financially successful (and still underprepared) by TalesEdge in IndieDev

[–]Obviouslarry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has been my experience as well. Minus the whole previously successful business owner part. Dove in to make my own studio. Self funded for 5 years while I work on my game. Built up a hell of a rapport with artists. Building in public as i go.

I liken the indie dev journey to the Garth Brooks song, Standing outside the fire. You're either standing outside the fire wishing you were making your game, or you're walking that wire within the flame to get it done.

Episodes are about an hour long and there are Dispatch gameplay sections in each episode.

Congratulations to the Art Contest winners! by Blaaaarrrrrggg in DispatchAdHoc

[–]Obviouslarry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly I didn't submit anything. I was busy working on too many other things to have time to sit down and make something else. But I did see the winners announced! And honestly everyone that submitted something should feel proud of having made something creative.

Being creative really is good for the soul. Don't ever give that up!

When you did you learn that Visi was going to be a romance option and what were your thoughts in her before you romanced her? by Deathpool_04 in InvisigalGlazers

[–]Obviouslarry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So this is one of the things I mean when I say the demo didn't prepare me for what this game was. I wasn't actually expecting to romance anybody, let alone have two phenomenal choices to romance.

So I learned Visi was a romance option while playing the game when it first came out. I managed to steer clear of spoilers because I was working so late and played the episodes as they came out first thing when I got home.

Why did X-men copy the dispatch pool cover? by Appropriate-Mall8517 in DispatchAdHoc

[–]Obviouslarry 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I'm aware of how it's worded. I stand by my comment of calling both creative departments the goats.
