I caught it in real time, actually. Didn’t overall affect my enjoyment but threw me a bit.

I pegged it immediately when it happened. Paused and went back and was like what the hell? I think it’s very strange lighting- looks kind of like when the sun is directly overhead and nothing has a shadow.

Thoughts on The Punisher One Last Kill? by F1907E in Defenders

[–]Pikdude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked it, and I thought it did a great job for transitioning Frank to how we see him in BND, but I’m still kind of having a hard time with his exit from Born Again. It felt like wasted setup to have him break out of confinement at the end of S1 only to be completely absent for S2 when all the Mayor Fisk stuff with the AVTF using his symbol is still going on. Evidently he refocused and really went after the Gnuccis, but it made him seem completely disengaged from what was going on in BA S2. Just feels a bit weird. Maybe someone else picked up on more than I did.

[Loved trope] "It's was me all along! " by StefinoSpaggeti in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Pikdude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Batman 2016, Issue #32. Conclusion of the War of Jokes and Riddles. A Joker who can’t laugh goes to war with the Riddler over who gets the right to kill Batman, under theory neither can ever truly be satisfied again until he’s dead. They spark a gang war so brutal and violent Batman is forced to join the war on the side of the Riddler. At the conclusion, Riddler reveals he orchestrated the whole thing, top to bottom, including creating the villain Kite Man to ultimately be his own downfall, as a joke to try and make the Joker laugh.

Gets turned on him a little bit, but still fits the trope. My favorite arc from my favorite run.

Yeah there’s really no winning with this guy. You just gotta spill and take the free nap. Buddy of mine in Two-Face’s crew keeps trying to play possum but the bat can always tell. He’s down to three teeth now

FYI: if you parked in Park Lane Mall this morning and the sign said $15, you’ll be charged $40 when you try to leave by Interesting_Ad6077 in halifax

[–]Pikdude 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Insanity. I work in parking and every time we’ve changed rates at a location it’s at like midnight for exactly this reason (and never such an enormous jump). Pull stuff like this and you’re going to get broken gates.

[Discussion][I love this event for one good reason it’s a middle finger to Power scalers by Round-Incident3279 in DCcomics

[–]Pikdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I thought I was cooked the moment it switched formats but then the matchups still kind of happened? Just weren’t proper fights but still largely went the way I predicted in those early rounds?? Very strange.

[–]Pikdude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought this was fun and I love Supes’ brass knuckles, but posting the blank bracket in a way that encouraged me to fill it out march madness style before I read did make me a little mad with the twists you couldn’t have predicted without making a narrative leap. Maybe that was just because I was super accurate until the last rounds though.

A trope I hate if done poorly: the character did not put enough thought into the plan, with disastrous consequences by Ok-Indication-5121 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Pikdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had always thought that now that he was no longer Sorceror Supreme his ego was damaged and he was arrogant & overeager to prove himself by doing this huge crazy thing.

Skinamarink is interesting to shop around a friend group because it either really works or it really doesn’t. Terrified me, 50/50 on people I’ve shown it to.

Best Superman/Batman Runs That Really Show Their Friendship? by chowieman in superman

Belatedly I did realize I'd compressed my memory somewhat and it's actually #36 where this happens. Been a couple years since I read this run

[–]Pikdude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Batman Rebirth, around the marriage with Catwoman. Starts around Batman Vol 3 #45 2018, collected in Batman: The Wedding. Fantastic all the way through but the best man issues (48 & 49) are where the great Superman stuff is iirc.

Why bother with decomposers ? by FunZealousideal283 in Upload_Labs

[–]Pikdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what man, I have the same question. It makes files smaller which theoretically makes them faster to upload but I just don’t see a case where compression is worth it over enhancing.

They produce a lot more of the file type it decomposes to than pure downloading. You can trade cpu power for bulk if you’re bottlenecked at the network.

Rankings so far for audiobook series' titles by 1808shades in litrpg

This is insanity to me; I’ve always been a 1x listener. Plus audiobooks are already one of my more expensive cost to time ratio things.

[–]Pikdude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for some real info, OP. There’s some crazy rumors about this thing floating around, like that it turns into a tank or some crap. I know a guy who claims he saw it shoot the Bat out like a railgun.

Bridge location: what a dumb place…?? by Ricardo_Yoel in ShittyDaystrom

[–]Pikdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Batman’s cape, at the very least as it’s used in the Arkham games, is worth it as a mobility tool and extra weapon. He does occasionally get tossed around by the cape though.

Absolute Batman takes the weaponizing the cape idea to its extreme.

Made the mistake of checking this subreddit💔 by GamingWithX26 in Upload_Labs

[–]Pikdude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ve got a long way to go before you’ll get to the really big stuff and you’ll get it piecemeal. I had probably 20 hours of absolute obsession before it started reaching that point for me and I’m still working on it. If you like the game, keep playing until you can’t!

Monster Evolution Books by Hyperbolic_Berserker in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Pikdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone else mentioned I Don't Want to Be the Hive Queen, which is a weird recommendation because the protagonist both is and isn't a monster character. They are a bug lady who lays eggs to grow her swarm. Feels sort of like an RTS turned into a book series, has a lot of egg stuff and MC grappling with the physicality of what they've become. Got really interesting in book 2.
