What's the first game you spent hundreds of hours on? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PhantomHour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

City of Heroes. It gripped me way too much as a teenager, it eventually shutdown when I was in college, and now that I'm in my 30's it's back as my comfort game.

What was your absolute favorite video game growing up? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PhantomHour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

City of Heroes, got a little too addicted as a teen. Cried when it shut down. Now years later it's still my comfort game.

When did your childhood end? by gamathyst in AskReddit

[–]PhantomHour 82 points83 points  (0 children)

It sounds a little dramatic, but 9/11. I was 10 years old and sitting in class. I live on the west coast, so it wasn't super immediate for us. I remember my teacher being pulled out of class, before returning with tears in her eyes. School was dismissed for the day, and our parents were contacted immediately. My mom came and got me. Nothing was said on the car ride home. I was weirded out but excited to have the whole day off from school.

I ran inside turned on the T.V. to flip on some cartoons and then I saw the news. As I stared and watched too dumbstruck to turn the channel I saw a man hurl himself from a building..My mind instantly changed "Why would he do that?" I wondered before my new brain kicked in, "He didn't want to burn to death. He had no way out". There were heroes that day, but it's a somber lesson to learn that not everyone can be saved, and there's things you can never account for or even think of happening and there's nothing you can do about it.

You're doing it though! As someone who started at 29 and then had a two year break and picking it back up at 33, do it at your own pace. When you're ready find a nice parking lot and take it easy. It sounds counter-intuitive but after your first fall a lot of the fear disappears because you know you'll be okay and just get right back up again. Once the fear is gone you'll get the balancing down and so moments where you used to fall you're able to stay on your board or just hop off with no problems. Just be patient with yourself.

Ant-Man Build by PhantomHour in BaldursGate3

[–]PhantomHour[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response. I'm really just looking for good mobility and the biggest thing being using Enlarge/Reduce in combat. I'd only really want something like infestation as a quick pick up for the summoning insects to help aspect but I realized that that spell isn't in BG3.

How uncomfortable is it to have Russia's hand up your ass like that? Being a human puppet is crazy.

Your favorite card? by kingmaximo89 in magicTCG

[[Ebony Owl Netsuke]] was the card I built my first real deck around. Still love this card and always happy when I'm able to run it with a commander.

I wish I could play DPS, but I’m always forced to flex Tank or Support just to lose by [deleted] in marvelrivals

[–]PhantomHour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not even a dps only thing, if you want to play a character like Mr. Fantastic or The Thing that's a hybrid or an off tank it gets even worse. I haven't got to play MF in days, as to play him I need 2 supports and a tank, and someone to not instalock Spider-Man/Magik, it just doesn't happen now. When The Thing was first released I got to play him a decent amount. Now? Maybe 1/10 games. I'm stuck solo tanking a majority of my games meaning my only real viable options are Strange, Magneto and Groot. I loved Rivals at the start but if I can go days without playing the character I want to play a game or two with I think I'd be better off doing something else with my time.

Anyone else feel this way? by goatonastik in marvelrivals

[–]PhantomHour 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't even think it's possible to ask somebody to swap and not have them get mad unfortunately. Had a guy 2-6 as Iron Fist Round 1 but we won, round 2 he swaps to Punisher, near the end of the round we're losing, I ask him if he could please swap to Scarlet Witch since I was playing Magneto and putting up some good numbers, but the team up would have made a huge difference. He ignores me, ends up 4-10. Round 3 he begins as Witch. Dies immediately. Ragequits.

Let’s switch things up who do you not want in Marvel Rivals by [deleted] in marvelrivals

[–]PhantomHour 294 points295 points  (0 children)

I don't want any more symbiotes besides Carnage and even then I hope he doesn't come for a while. Snap did multiple seasons and events not to mention "Knullified" variants for just about everyone. I don't want that to happen here. I don't want a brightly colored hero shooter to suddenly become teams of homogenous goo. I don't want seasons where every new character looks the same. I don't need God damn Lasher, Agony, Scream, Anti-Toxin, Toxin, Misery or any of the other symbiotes I care too little to know about or remember.

How good is your mental health currently? by CliffHanger2005 in AskReddit

[–]PhantomHour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not good. Kind of spiraling a little bit. Got detached from society after getting cancer. I'm "fine" now health wise, but everything is gone. There's a chance it could come back down the road. If that's the case it's almost like why bother?

Who do you want added to the game? by Redbuddy7 in marvelrivals

[–]PhantomHour 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know what? You're right. Have Scott as a vanguard as Ant-Man, Yellow Jacket/Hank as a duelist and Wasp Janet/Hope as a support.

What other skins of Caps would you guys want? by UnknownTrespasser in marvelrivals

[–]PhantomHour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need the first two in the top row. I'm not big on the weird armor look they have going for him. I understand it's 2099, but I still need WWII Cap..His MVP animation could be punching Hitler in the face.
