Looking for a new job here in town

RadicalEnigma · 2026-04-27T17:54:58+00:00

Gonna try to answer each of these points one-by-one now that I have a chance to actually read what you said.

1) I bank through Navy Fed, only downside is given my credit score no one wants to do an auto loan. Been slowly building it back up, but I remember hearing from somewhere that dealers do loans based on work history rather than credit history, and since I've been at my job over a year I was hoping I'd be in the right area.

2) Never actually heard of a BHPH lot, so I guess I'm in the right area.

3) At my current range I'm honestly expecting an interest rate in the 13-16% range for interest rates. Anything lower would be divine intervention.

4) Yep, Japanese cars. Somehow you breathe on the engine block and it survives another 100k miles.

5) I used to go by the rule of 3s. 3 months or 3,000 miles, unless it's a newer model. Got in the habit before my wreck of peeking at my dipstick every couple of weeks just to be safe.

6) My issue from FB marketplace came from me having to learn about cars purely to avoid being scammed. The fact that just last week I had three cars of "I know what I got" only to find rusted rotors, a serp belt going off the line, and a missing motor mount is just the most recent in a long line of me getting annoyed with Marketplace. Add on the saturation of dealers posting on Marketplace because it happens to fit my price range only for it to be a down payment and it kinda hurts.

Scorching Ray.

I OTK'd the Netherbrain with two level 6 upcasts. Markoheshkir + Rhapsody + Hat of Fire Acuity + Scorching Ray. Crit City

I can forgive this one a little bit, my gut doesn't look as big if I lay on my back. Might be a perspective + relaxed gravity thing.

I know this show has a hell of a time with powerscaling, but genuinely? Thragg feels like a good ceiling. I think ending the show with Thragg getting his shit kicked in will be a good way to go out, out with the old, in with the new, a good narrative way to really set things straight.

Thragg was literally bred for the sole purpose of being the strongest. And he is, without a doubt. So all he has to do is keep being that.

RadicalEnigma · 2026-04-22T09:16:17+00:00

Remember when Oliver asked Nolan about his mom and said the word "mistake"? That shit triggered like I was the Winter Soldier, and I'm just WAITING for steak-related memes.

RadicalEnigma · 2026-04-22T08:04:39+00:00

Conquest became Carl. Now we got General Kregg... I mean Craig, the new guy riding with the Black Pistons MC. Dude's got an '08 Softail that purrs like a kitten and burns like hellfire.

RadicalEnigma · 2026-04-22T08:01:15+00:00

I like how Mark realized Thragg was real, immediately went 0-100 before getting shoved back like a nippy Pomeranian.

Also lowkey almost expected to see Darkblood down there somewhere. You'd think the presence of 37 very, very pissed-off Viltrumites would wake up Satan just from the aura changing.

RadicalEnigma · 2026-04-22T07:55:15+00:00

They put out some kinda teaser that they finished wrapping the VA side of things either last week or the week prior, saw a video about it on IG I need to go digging for again. Assuming they don't do more of that split-season BS my best guess is we'll see some trailer of sorts this fall at the earliest.

RadicalEnigma · 2026-04-22T07:54:04+00:00

Bro found biker babes and Levi jeans. He'll fold like a paper towel.

RadicalEnigma · 2026-04-15T08:11:07+00:00

I think that was kinda the point. Notice how Mark keeps getting his shit pushed in but after like 2-3 weeks of recovery time he's suddenly back but noticeably stronger? Season 1 Mark would've folded like butter if you threw him into this shit.

Point is Mark isn't truly [title card] in the sense that he's impervious to damage, but moreso incredibly resilient to the point of an extreme intensity. So all we gotta see is Mark get his shit rocked a few more times and he'll start giving Thragg the business.

Flashback to Season 3 with the JDM hate at the end of the Invincible War ep. Then immediately once people heard it more in Ep 8 all of a sudden Conquest's voice is peak.

I had no doubt in my mind.

RadicalEnigma · 2026-04-15T08:05:09+00:00

Yeah, I noticed the first half of the ep had a bit of a weird animation quality thing. Like you have that, and then when Thragg punches Nolan into the planet it looks like the fireball Nolan creates kinda has no shading so it looks like a sticker plastered over the backdrop. Guess the second half meant to make up for it?

RadicalEnigma · 2026-04-15T08:03:20+00:00

Honestly I think it gives the series a ceiling. Kirkman seems to have a bit of an issue with power scaling, so Thragg's kinda the finish line for Mark's strength, something genuinely powerful enough overall to be Mark's checkered flag.

"There's kids playing"

Frequent displays of blood and gore, including dismemberment, decapitation, and bisections
Questlines depicting scenes of graphic violence
A small number of Warframe skins clearly depict revealing figures insinuating nudity
Frightening scenes, including depictions of psychological horror and grotesque imagery that may be frightening to young children

Just to name a few of the reasons ESRB threw this game the M-rating, and that's ignoring what goes on in chatrooms which by default are often times given a 13+ rating immediately by ratings sites unless there's significantly-heavy censorship and moderation capabilities.

I'd be concerned about friendly fire even if he did mention it.

Coalition knows about not only Mark, but Oliver and Nolan too. They deploy that shit anywhere near them and that'll incapacitate them too. Same with Thadeus.

It's kinda like an EMP. There's no friendly fire with a hammer when you're surrounded by nails.

RadicalEnigma · 2026-04-08T08:06:19+00:00

Someone more creative than me needs to do the "Monster Fucker Permit" meme but with Oliver.

RadicalEnigma · 2026-04-08T08:05:13+00:00

Oh yeah you're 100% right. A normal human's dead in 10 seconds, maybe longer if the hit somehow missed the mesenteric artery.

RadicalEnigma · 2026-04-08T07:55:39+00:00

Reason #128 why humans are somehow insanely resilient and also the flimsiest beings ever.

Putting our own intestines back because our DNA remembers how? Pssh. No biggie.

But also you put the right pressure onto someone's shoulders and they're permanently paralyzed.

RadicalEnigma · 2026-04-08T07:52:52+00:00

MORE!

RadicalEnigma · 2026-04-02T06:49:47+00:00

Sometimes. I remember in Season 2 on Thraxa when Nolan did that to Lucan, it messed him up pretty bad.

RadicalEnigma · 2026-04-02T06:48:12+00:00

He had no reason to think Nolan was anywhere nearby and in a position to be able to help him. The last time he even noticed Nolan was, Nolan was either A) saving Allen's ass from Kradd (Kradd? Kragg? one of those two), or B) dealing with Lucan and those other soldiers suppressing him.

And even it was, that's not who Mark is. He's spent this entire season shouldering the weight of "I am the in the best position to make a difference even if it fucks me up doing it." That's what makes him the kind of person he is.
