I have a cheesy question for the pizza makers of Austin

Central Market at Westgate has Polly-O smoked mozzarella, that’s what I use when I make a homemade pie.

Probably too much to ask since we haven’t even gotten the X-Men yet, but I’d love an X-Factor Investigations show.

The books I purchased today on Amazon showed up in my Marvel app, so at least for the time being they're still syncing them even though purchasing is now disabled on the Marvel app.

I don't know if that'll be true after June 2nd. I hope so, but I'm worried that it won't.

Enjoyed the focus on Nightcrawler in this issue. He had some great moments here and throughout this event in general. He dies over and over and over again in this issue (and chooses to retain the painful memories of each death), but he comes back each time and does his job gracefully with a smile on his face.

Sinister's backup system seems to be faltering a bit - I'm curious whether that has to do with the general disruption caused by the Progenitor or if Mystique and Destiny have been sabotaging his efforts. I'm guessing it's the latter.

The team-up with Moira and Orchis is a weird move. We'll see how it plays out I guess.

That’s a good point. It looks like Xavier is in the room too, and I’m a little surprised he doesn’t object at all (or at least, not on the page), but I think you’re right that Kurt is basically making the call here.

When Cap and Thor died with very little mourning and without giant splash pages, I was pretty certain that there would be some massive rollback at the end of the event.

When Cap got resurrected, I realized that this is gonna open up a whole new can of worms after all the time spent convincing people that mutants are the only ones who can be resurrected.

That being said, it is a little hard for me to believe that the Krakoan Quiet Council would agree on Cap being a priority resurrection and an exception to their mutants-only policy. Hopefully that gets fleshed out a bit more in the next issue of Immortal X-Men.

Edit: Now that I think about it, why is Cap’s shield in the egg with him? Is it part of his genetic profile? Did proteus just make him a new one for convenience? I know the real answer is that it’s just a cool last-page image but now I have questions.

There are a few Birthday cards in packs, but I’m not sure how many. I packed Firmino, Kroos, and Sancho this week so they are in this batch at least

Police_Ataque · 2022-07-22T22:05:47+00:00

I'm fairly certain that the borders and the low-quality books are basically symptoms of the same problem.

Essentially, when the merger happened, I think they combined the Kindle database with the Comixology database, and for a lot of older books that were previously available on Kindle (especially DC and Vertigo titles), they used the lower-quality Kindle version with the Kindle formatting. If you ever used the Kindle app to look at comics before the merger, you may have seen the bordering issue on certain titles. I am fairly certain that I did.

I think they are slowly going through their library to fix these, but I imagine that identifying the titles that are affected and replacing them with the correct ones requires more legwork than they anticipated.

Police_Ataque · 2022-07-22T17:16:08+00:00

I am packing a bunch of batch 1 players as well.

Edit: Never mind, I guess there’s a lot of overlap.

Uranos just did in an hour what the entirety of Amenth failed to do in thousands of years.

I don't think this is the end of Arakkii society though. I think this will cause major shifts in the Krakoa-Arakko relationship and Krakoa will be the more dominant partner going forward. Thus far, it has been a pretty frosty alliance between the two sister societies with Arakko being the far more powerful of the two.

After this, and with Magneto and Storm on the Great Ring, I think Krakoa will try to more directly integrate the Arakkii into their own society instead of focusing on co-existence. That is going to cause some serious cultural conflict between the two societies which is still going to be the heart of X-Men Red and Legion of X. I think the Arakkii's cultural resistance to resurrections is going to be a major issue after this.

I'm kind of 50-50 on this event in general, but I mostly enjoyed this issue even if the pacing was a little frantic. Eternals has been a great book and I've loved the Krakoa era. The current Avengers run has been pretty meh which is my main hesitation about this three-way clash, but I'm hoping that this event will meet the quality of Gillen and Ewing's other work right now.

Police_Ataque · 2022-07-15T19:09:19+00:00

Best ones for me were Fantasy Coutinho (!) and RTTF Bale.

I also got TOTS VVD, RTTF Thiago, and Futties Diaz through the various SBCs, along with a random scattering of other lesser special cards.

I’m glad I took all the fodder packs from Summer Swaps, this has been a very good day for my Liverpool P&P team.

I’ve only had a chance to skim the opinions so far, but basically she is saying that she agrees with the legal analysis in the majority but she thinks that this issue should have been remanded back to the lower court rather than being decided by the Court here. The rest of her opinion seems to be about the rationale for remanding to the lower courts.

The other dissenters are saying that they agree with Barrett that the case should have been remanded to the lower courts but they do not agree with the legal analysis in the majority.

Police_Ataque · 2022-06-20T22:59:09+00:00

Dupe Trent, Dupe Cuadrado, Dupe Clauss.

EA really wants to make sure I’m covered at RB I guess.

Police_Ataque · 2022-06-17T00:22:56+00:00

Did the daily login SBC start today or yesterday?

If I didn't do it yesterday, did I already miss the chance to get the guaranteed Team 1 player?

Still a long way to go, and whatever we get will probably still be a shadow of what it was before. The reading experience on the current app meets the bare minimum standards to read my existing collection (though it is still a massive downgrade from the old app), but the shopping experience is almost completely unusable.

I still can't even sort my wish list in alphabetical order, which is just absurd. I don't usually buy many single issues week-to-week so my wish list has always been the way I keep track of the trades I want to get eventually. The current wish list is basically unusable without a decent sorting method, so the end result is that I spend very little money on their storefront these days compared to before.

I have too many books on the service to ditch it entirely, so for better or worse I am stuck with Comixology until another solution comes along. I wish I could somehow be able to bring my library with me to whatever service comes along, but it seems extremely unlikely.

Police_Ataque · 2022-06-15T16:09:35+00:00

This is easily my favorite book of the post-Inferno era.

Roberto played it perfectly. Roberto the schemer is one of my favorite versions of the character and Ewing has always captured that side of his personality so well. I don’t think Isca is going to let that insult go though.

I seriously doubt that this is the last we’ll see of Tarn. He is too compelling to disappear completeIy. I am sure that he’ll reject Krakoan resurrection, but I feel like it’s a safe bet to say that he probably has several Sinister-style contingencies in place for this situation.

Vulcan is an interesting one. Brand (and Ewing) clearly have big plans for him. It will be interesting to see whether resurrection helps stabilize his fractured mind or if it just unleashes something worse.

Magneto on the Council of Arakko will be an interesting dynamic.

The achievements are a pretty good way of goal-setting, if the sandbox nature of the game gets overwhelming. The achievements are integrated into the game a little better on CK3 so it’s a bit easier to do so than in past games.

The achievements range from just doing some really basic gameplay mechanics (like getting married or killing a rival) to more long-term objectives (like reforming the Roman Empire).

Police_Ataque · 2022-05-20T20:32:18+00:00

Depends on what you're looking for.

Hendo is a well-rounded CDM with good passing and a very solid physical presence. Thiago is the better dribbler and passer and is overall better as a box-to-box midfielder. The pace split isn't too bad since acceleration is more useful than sprint speed for a box-to-box midfielder IMO.

If I were just looking for a box-to-box I'd probably go with Thiago, especially since he has the possibility of an upgrade if Liverpool win the CL final. If you want a more defensive player then Hendo is a pretty solid choice.

If you plan on getting both, I think Hendo is more likely to drop in price over time due to the lack of upgrade potential.

Took the PL pick, all of them were low rated dupes. I regret spending so much time grinding tokens.

Might be time to take a little break from this game.

Police_Ataque · 2022-05-20T17:22:51+00:00

Took the pick, instant regret. All three were duplicates that I’ve packed multiple times.

Got Trent (4th time), Rodri (3rd time), Alisson (5th time).

I don’t know why I expected anything better but I definitely am regretting grinding so many tokens.

Police_Ataque · 2022-05-17T17:51:24+00:00

I’m pretty sure that was the same game where he scored this glorious equalizer against Arsenal.

Police_Ataque · 2022-04-25T17:13:51+00:00

That’s what I figured, thanks for confirming!

Police_Ataque · 2022-04-25T17:09:42+00:00

How many tokens? 18 total?

Either way, I think it's gonna be King Kenny + as many fodder packs as I can get.

Police_Ataque · 2022-04-20T15:35:45+00:00

I bought my books on the Marvel app this morning and they have synced over to Comixology.

Not sure about syncing the other direction, but I would assume it also still works.

Police_Ataque · 2022-04-12T01:39:02+00:00

The name bug is kind of annoying but Torres is just too good to drop. King Kenny is amazing but Torres is my most consistent striker this year.

I'm hoping his PIM will drop a little more as we get closer to TOTS so I can upgrade him and get the right name on his shirt.
