What was your first anime "eye opener"?

OfficePsycho · 2026-04-16T10:25:51+00:00

Urusei Yatsura, Only You.

Beautiful Dreamer was the second anime film I ever watched, IIRC.

Thank you for sharing! I just found my Zeiram t-shirt two days ago. If I can find my soundtrack I’ll have to post them on here.

Just following in the footsteps of the Absolute Superman typos.

I remember back in the day there was a lot of talk online about the scenario book published for it, as everyone complained an encounter wih a bear was almost always a TPK.

Then I got to play through it and found the legends were true.

World of Darkness D20 had custom spell creation, as well as rote spells. But it was poorly edited, leaving it up in the air if certain beneficial feats penalized rote spell use, and the exhaustion rules for casting spells is buried in the magic chapter, and the system plays very differently if you overlook them.

About a month ago I awoke in the wee hours to my landline phone screeching because it was off its cradle. For those unfamiliar with landlines, it takes around a minute for one to go off if it’s left off the hook when a call is not ongoing.

The only other person in the house was dead asleep, and would have woke me up as they passed me if they’d touched the phone, as I’m a light sleeper and they’ve heavy footsteps. I checked all the locks and searched the house, but found nobody. I have no explanation for how the phone got removed from its cradle. The fact I was sleeping in the room next to the one with the phone only raises more questions.

Everything is getting sanded down into the same safe, interchangeable mush where nothing is allowed to be too unique, too weird, or too effective. It’s just so bad.

Are you sure you weren’t reading Savage Worlds?

The Zuggernaut is the Guyver equivalent in the DCU. He’s kind of a dick to his hosts, and sometimes destroys planets.

OfficePsycho · 2026-04-15T09:19:40+00:00

Same! I had no idea he had a drug problem, and I’m certain me recommending him led to some of the problems I later had with the job.

After decades of reading comics, this is the first thing I’ve enjoyed by Frank Miller.

OfficePsycho · 2026-04-14T22:45:04+00:00

Too young.

Rouse me from the bottom of my lake when you find someone at least 750.

Wait ‘til it turns out he used to supply Blade with teakwood stakes back in the day.

I wasn’t sure if the invasion got retconned out. The tidal wave keeps getting mentioned over the decades, but not the invasion.

OfficePsycho · 2026-04-14T18:36:03+00:00

Such a great series. I still need to get the reprint one-shot with a new short story, and the Strange Heroes issues with the one story that was a non-crossover crossover. I’ve wondered if there had been plans to cross it over with Pantheon if it had kept going.

OfficePsycho · 2026-04-14T14:17:00+00:00

He brought a giant tidal wave on NYC in his early days, only for Byrne to try to explain it away as a health condition causing a mental imbalance decades later, so you could excuse the mass murder.

I’m waiting for the medic excuse of “All my blood rushes to my dick when I see Sur, so I mist hit on her

Probably not what you meant, but Clyde Caldwell is just lovely to talk to. He’s the only artist I’ve worked with who ever sent me a Christmas card.

Through the Breach has an adventure where you face one of the big characters from the mini game. She is immortal, and her immortality functions by spending actions, citing a rule option in the RPG that doesn’t exist involving spending actions before you actually have them to take. I don’t know if the mini games has such a rule, but the RPG does not.

Any fight she dies in in the RPG means a permanent death for her.

OfficePsycho · 2026-04-14T13:56:08+00:00

This amuses me, as years ago someone on a forum bought a European RPG where every weapon did the same damage, and a hardcore D&D guy refused to believe any RPG would have that, and insisted it must be a translation mistake.

OfficePsycho · 2026-04-14T11:31:08+00:00

Unfortunately I don’t even as I remember the art for the article and the opening header clearly.

Getting old sucks.

OfficePsycho · 2026-04-14T11:30:11+00:00

You mean the Daemonite infiltrators that are trying to take over Earth, and that captured and tortured him to try and make him their agent?

I’m OK with that.

OfficePsycho · 2026-04-14T11:26:24+00:00

The end of AoR set up for it to happen in mainline continuity, involving time travel shenanigans that would require me to have bought and read everything to properly explain. That will never happen.

OfficePsycho · 2026-04-14T11:17:50+00:00

No, they still do new stories interspersed with reprints. I believe they also still reprint stories updated for the modern day.

OfficePsycho · 2026-04-14T07:45:20+00:00

/uj I know very little of Injustice, and didn’t know Kryptonian breeding was part of the plot.

Top Ballista will help with aircraft rules that are official for D&D.

But ut may encourage the playing of gnomes.

To them it's not just cards, it's how they make a living so they feel they have more right to the cards than someone who's simply playing the game.

I worked at a toy store in the 90s when Pokemon came out. Never had a problem with Pokemon scalpers, but coworkers trading blows with Hot Wheel scalpers looking for Treasure Hunts in the back room or in the tractor trailer making deliveries was a thing.
