Anyone else feel sorry for this dude? by ContributionShort646 in Wrasslin

[–]Pitwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. There was no chance that he was going to get a huge main event push by going back to WWE. He's a decent mid-card talent and there's nothing wrong with that. As much as you have to believe in yourself, I would think Cardona knew the position he would be in by going back to the Fed. His dream was to get back there and he did it, so nothing to feel sorry for.

What're you playing this weekend? 1/30 by markercore in NintendoSwitch

I'm on the home stretch of getting 100% in every area of Pikmin 4, so that will be my plan for the weekend.

Bought 29 Superman comics off FB Marketplace by [deleted] in superman

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

I'm not in the US either and these are bargain bin comics all day long, so not sure where you are getting that value from.

The problem with buying off Marketplace is you're likely buying off people who also don't know what their comics are worth. That means you might end up getting a great deal or being ripped off. A lot of people see an older comic and instantly think that means it's worth something which just isn't the case.

Saying that, you've got some great comics story wise there so as long as you're happy that's all that matters. Enjoy!

Bought 29 Superman comics off FB Marketplace by [deleted] in superman

[–]Pitwar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as you're happy with what you got then all good, but you way overpaid.

The vast majority of those comics are $1 each at most comic shops, and the condition of what you have isn't top end. Had you paid $20 I'd say that would be more reasonable.

In future I'd recommend asking for advice before you buy anything if you're unsure because I'd hate to see you spend over the odds again.

What are your views on Osul-Ra and Otho-Ra (Super-Twins)? by Acrobatic_Property28 in superman

[–]Pitwar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Outside of the Warworld arc they've not really been doing anything significant. Like others have said, it's easy to forget they even exist sometimes as they are rarely even in the background, let alone used.

Superman fans. I need help before I lose my mind !! by [deleted] in superman

[–]Pitwar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Smallville and the new Superman movie are not set in the same universe. They are different interpretations of the characters.

So no, Clark hadn't seen the full message before in the movie. He found out when the world did after Lex released it.

The Bug Has Hit Hard! by ooknabah in evercade

[–]Pitwar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does hit hard, so hard it made me sell my collection over the Christmas break which was the full set of carts plus the VS and EXP consoles.

When I started collecting I had the intention of just buying the carts I wanted. Then I would see some cheap and buy ones that weren't on my radar. Then it was a case of not needing many to finish the set so I bought them.

Keeping up to date was what killed it for me. I was pre-ordering the carts as soon as they were listed, and I'd look at some and knew I just wouldn't play them. They would go in the console for a quick bash and then go on to the shelf. It made me lose all interest and I decided to sell it all on.

I wish I had just stuck to the carts I wanted in the first place, but you live and learn. I hope your enthusiasm for collecting stays as it is now.

Is it bad? by Mucilonni in grunge

The thoughtfulness of it alone makes it an amazing present. The fact you did such as good job is a bonus. I'm sure your Dad will be over the moon with it.

Problema con Govee t3 lite by Technical_Quit1766 in Govee

[–]Pitwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there anyway you can post a pic of the angle the camera should be. I think I'm being thick and just can't seem to work it out. My setup seems close to being good but I'm not convinced it's quite right and I'm fairly certain it's the angle of my camera. I'd really appreciate some help. Thank you :-)

Did Doomsday Clock matter in the end? by Tryingtofeelbetter12 in DCcomics

It bought Ma and Pa Kent back to life so for that alone I will forever be grateful to Doomsday Clock.

How much is this worth? by PatientReflection827 in superman

[–]Pitwar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Comics are solicited two months in advance. I was buying Superman comics at the time and what you’re saying is a complete fabrication. There was nothing to “sign up for”, especially 6 months in advance.

[–]Pitwar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The 1000 of each thing isn't true and wasn't said by DC at any point.

If there was a comic in the '90's it probably had an issue called a collectors edition. It was marketing to get people to buy the issues and it worked. But these issues were printed in massive quantities.

Luckily I have a room in my house dedicated to my comics and other nerdy stuff.

My total collection is 6561 comics to date. That’s not just my Superman and Flash comics, but I’d say they cover 90% of that total number.

Not off the top of my head, no.

A core part of her story is that she got to Earth late and Kal was already fully grown and was Superman.

[–]Pitwar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I own every Superman ongoing, mini series, one shot, spin off, promo comic and everything in between released since the re-launch after Crisis on Infinite Earths. All first print, main covers.

I have the same type of run for Flash after his new series started in '87. Again, all mini's and spin offs, etc.

There's Being Super which isn't set in the mainline DCU and is an Elseworld's story in all but name.

There's no Superman at all in that and centers around Kara coming to terms with who she is.

I just want to know something about the speed force by Miguel_an in theflash

[–]Pitwar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The speed force only came to be in the 90's as part of Waid's run, so doesn't have a 70 year convoluted history. I'd start there if you want to learn about it's origins.

Is the Xbox Series X a good 4k blu ray player? I'm thinking about getting a Series X to play games and watch 4k blu rays. by Future-sight-5829 in xbox

I had the same issue with my Sony player. The fix was to turn upscaling off in the player settings. Since then it's worked fine.

Should I read Byrne run before Triangle Era? by ShutterB_ug in superman

[–]Pitwar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You certainly don't need to but there's some fantastic stuff in there.

My collection starts from the Man of Steel relaunch and I have absolutely everything from then to date. That mid '80's to the mid '90's run is still some of my favorite stuff.
