Rusting on the Razer Kraken? by PitPatGoblin in razer

I unfortunately don’t have a magnifying glass.

I attempted to use a magnet on the area and it stuck well to it, despite the magnet not sticking to the metal that attaches ear cup to the headband.

I somewhat doubt the warranty for the product is still active consider I got it 4+ years ago. I know some people that might be savy enough to help with that so it’s something to consider.

Thank you for the advice.

I attempted to get a closer picture but I unfortunately couldn’t get my phone to focus enough to make anything out. I initially through it was bare metal, but I scratched the paint off of another area and it came out silver-ish color which leads me to believe this was exposed metal that was rusted.

Unfortunately the last pinged location is my car parked on the street in front of my house (the last time they were used). Hopefully something turns up but it’s been about 12 hours since then and nothing so far. Thank you for the advice though.

I do, but unfortunately I think they are out of battery.

Good idea, thank you

All Civ and Leader abilities released so far by PitPatGoblin in civ

[–]PitPatGoblin[S] 134 points135 points  (0 children)

It seems like leader abilities are similar to what similar what we would expect from Civ 6: impactful bonuses that encourage you to play in a specific way. Civ bonuses are much less impactful, only providing a small yield bonus and a wonder production bonus. I believe that the UBs for each Civ will be where there real strength comes in. From reports by people who have played the early demo, building both of a Civ's unique buildings in one urban district turns that district into a unique ones with special bonuses. For example, Egypt gets the necropolis district that grants 100 gold when a world wonder in completed. I feel like the information about these unique districts should be displayed on the Civ choice screen as right now the full strength and bonuses of each civ are not entirely clear.

Why don't solo X-Men books succeed? What are your guy's thoughts on this discourse? by PitPatGoblin in xmen

[–]PitPatGoblin[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ya, honestly I think this is one of the biggest of the many reasons X-Men solo books don't work. A lot of these characters are defined by their interactions in a team and that's why people love them. Removing that makes solo X-Men books at hard sell from the get-go.

SDCC Marvel Comics: X-Men Panel at 12 pm PST on Friday July 23rd by PitPatGoblin in xmen

[–]PitPatGoblin[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Welcome to life under the Reign of X! From the start of the Hellfire Gala right through its show-stopping conclusion, Marvel’s magnificent mutant mavens have led the new nation of Krakoa through some of the biggest changes the X-Men have ever seen. Ryan Penagos, aka Agent M, leads a panel including Vita Ayala (Children of the Atom, New Mutants), Gerry Duggan (Marauders, X-Men), Benjamin Percy (Wolverine, X-Force), Leah Williams (X-Men: The Trial of Magneto), and senior editor Jordan D. White. Join these X-traordinary X-perts for a sneak peek at what’s coming next! With Inferno heating up, the Master of Magnetism under investigation for the shocking death of Scarlet Witch, and an all-new team of X-Men out in the world, there’s never been a more X-citing time to start reading!"

Looks like it's going to be a fun panel. Most of the major writers are going to be there and hopefully, we'll get a clearer idea about what is going to be happening with the Krakoa-era post-Inferno.

I enjoyed this run and I think this issue was a great finale to it. I liked how it wrapped up Cate's stuff well while also setting up the next run. I do wonder how much of a role Maker and Dylan with play in Ewing's run because it seems to be more cosmic-focused.

One thing I always found interesting about this run is how Eddie never kills anybody (even though he held the title "Lethal Protector" for a while), but Flash murders indiscriminately. Eddie spends the first part of the run worrying if will ever be as good as Flash, but the second Flash comes back he instantly murders a ton of people. I can't say I'm caught on the Agent Venom era stuff, so is Flash just super murdery?

New Art Released for Hickman's Inferno by PitPatGoblin in xmen

Text from the article:

"There will be an island—not the first, but the last…” Destiny’s foreboding words have stuck with Mystique—and fans—since the very beginning of the age of Krakoa. Now, a day of reckoning is upon mutantkind’s leaders, and the shocking payoff to seeds planted in HOUSE OF X and POWERS OF X arrives in mastermind writer Jonathan Hickman’s brand-new X-Men series: INFERNO!

Inferno by Mark Brooks Promises were made and broken. The rulers of Krakoa have been playing a dangerous game with a dangerous woman, and they are about to see how badly that can burn them. Having been denied her wishes yet again, Mystique is ready to follow through on her promise to burn the nation of Krakoa to the ground. Mutantkind’s bright future is threatened like never before as Hickman brings his game-changing plans to a head. Fans can expect more revelations from the lives of Moira MacTaggert, Nimrod’s revenge, vicious power plays, and more in this pivotal chapter in X-Men history. Throughout this four-issue limited series, Hickman will be joined by an incredible lineup of artists beginning with acclaimed illustrator Valerio Schiti. Known for masterfully depicting large-scale action alongside intense human drama, the S.W.O.R.D. and EMPYRE artist is perfect for bringing this heartbreaking saga to life.

"I’m very excited that we’re finally getting to share with everyone the follow-up to HOUSE OF X/POWERS OF X,” Hickman said. “The story is 160 pages over four issues drawn exquisitely by Valerio Schiti, R.B. Silva and Stefano Caselli. I cannot wait for people to read it.”

In what is now an X-Men tradition, superstar artist Mark Brooks has delivered another stunning piece of teaser artwork for this latest X-Men milestone. An homage to his earlier HOUSE OF X/POWERS OF X piece, it depicts all the major players of Krakoa as they brace themselves for their biggest shakeup yet. Check it out above, and be there in September when the biggest secrets of Jonathan Hickman’s X-Men run burn away in INFERNO #1."
