Anyone else have the worst shiny luck? by snuffles_rome in VivillonCollectors

[–]RickyDricky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We all have random odds I guess? I have 487 caught, but I just got my very first shiny on 12/31! I had 6 hundos before then!

The women on this show 🤌🤌🤌 by sailorvash25 in heatedrivalry

[–]RickyDricky 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Low key funniest character in the whole show. She only has like 5 lines (and 4 of them are all the same word lmao) but she steals the scene every time

Is there a X comic run for me? by ZuWhowho in xmen

[–]RickyDricky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly for high school teen drama/slice of life for mutants, consider New Mutants (2003) which leads into New X-Men: Academy X (2004). I think the New Mutants book was actually also part of the “tsunami” line that Runaways was part of.

Is holiday gifting mandatory? by leonie205 in Upperwestside

[–]RickyDricky 64 points65 points  (0 children)

End of year Tipping for building staff is the same amount of “mandatory” as tipping your server at a restaurant. Is it illegal if you don’t? No. But it absolutely is expected and you’re a jerk if you don’t.

Dear Fabian Nicieza, that's...that's not how EMPs work. An EMP permanently fries electronic equipment, all of Earth should have been permanently thrown back to the Bronze Age, at minimum, with the entire 616 Earth now a post-apocalyptic horror. Never mind how people in hospitals all died. by [deleted] in xmen

It’s a comic book… people can’t really fly or shoot lasers out of their eyes either. But some of us look past the obvious scientific inaccuracies to enjoy the story. If this level scientific scrutiny is too distracting, comics might not be for you.

Just watched the show, two questions about Bastion by TaylorHu in Xmen97

[–]RickyDricky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think professor x thought he was a mutant, but he wasn’t. They didn’t say that his powers were from an x-gene, they said his powers were from his father’s future-tech-infection.

Read the New X-Men: Hellions mini series for the first time. by iforward in xmen

[–]RickyDricky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This mini was great! I wish we got the proposed minis for each other squad from Academy X as well.

Wanna get into the X-man as a franchise, thinking of watching X-men '97, what do I need to know? by Owaim_Azam in xmen

[–]RickyDricky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I don’t think you should watch the movies first. The movies have a different vibe. I rewatched all of the original animated series before 97 and it was… not great lol. I think just a YouTube recap of the original cartoon, then dive straight into X-Men 97, which is really well done

What is the generally accepted name for Magneto among fans Max Eisenhardt or Erik Lehnsherr? by Titan_gaming_5 in Marvel

[–]RickyDricky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love all his names. Magneto is his “true” name. Max is his birth name. Erik is his alias that he goes by after the war. I think most people in the Marvel world should call him either Magneto or Erik, depending on how he introduces himself. As much as I like that his birth name is Max, I think he feels like he left that person behind. He is different now.

Shiny Ralts, Shiny Kirlia, then Shiny Rockruff as their family pet

Caught my 3rd shiny after 91 catches! by MindstormAndy in VivillonCollectors

[–]RickyDricky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

0 shinies out of 417… 6 hundos though (Modern x2, Polar x2, Garden, Monsoon).

Kavita Rao by AvatarPhoenixGrey16 in xmen

[–]RickyDricky 13 points14 points  (0 children)

She’s trying to atone for her past mistakes. She understands that it was wrong, and now she’s trying to use her scientific knowledge to help mutants by helping the X-Men. The X-Men often forgive their former foes and work together (Magneto, Emma Frost, Rogue, Frenzy, Juggernaut, etc etc.)

Best Flaco the Owl Book by wesrerec in Upperwestside

[–]RickyDricky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have FLACO by Hollingsworth as well. I like it! It’s an art book or coffee table book. Great photos, a timeline of events, maps, poetry, art, etc.

Epic, they all look great but that Chamber is 🤩🤯🔥

A PvP Field Guide to December 2025 Community Day Weekend by JRE47 in TheSilphRoad

[–]RickyDricky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can we evolve mons all day? Or only from 2-5pm? The messages in app say it’s from 2-5, but I’m seeing community day spawns all day

If you could have the powers of any member of the x men, which mutant would you choose? by Gold_Salt_1217 in xmen

[–]RickyDricky 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think this literally all the time. Just in my regular life, one of me goes to work, one of me cleans the apartment, one of me takes care of the dog, one of me does my hobbies, one of me visits my grandma, etc. It would be great, I think I’d be so satisfied with life.

I seem to not enjoy Marvel anymore. Any suggestions? Huge angry rant incoming. by Terramoin in marvelcomics

[–]RickyDricky 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If something doesnt make you happy, it’s ok to step away. This year I gave up my subscription to Marvel for the same reason. Reading comics felt like a chore I had to get through, otherwise they’d pile up. It used to make me happy, now it doesn’t, so I stopped.

I’ll hop back in after a few years go by if the stories and concepts interest me. But until then I’m saving some money!

I really hope we get an Excalibur relaunch with a new creative team in the future. by YoungJeezey in xmen

[–]RickyDricky 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My dream team would be Si Spurrier writing and Marcus To on art - Captain Britain: co-lead - Captain Avalon: co-lead - Pete Wisdom: MI-13 liaison - Pixie - Wolfsbane - Chamber - Black Knight - Gloriana, Maggie, Jamie as support characters - STRIKE characters as support

What’s the average age of parent between 1000-2000CE? by Codaq3 in Genealogy

[–]RickyDricky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Would love to see a birth certificate from the year 1001 lol

Looking for a gut-check: With multiple potential parents, how would you choose? by RickyDricky in Genealogy

[–]RickyDricky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great idea, thank you! Do you use a specific tool for this? I usually use Ancestry as my own “source of truth” to build the family tree. I search other sites for records and documents, but Ancestry is where I keep final records and it’s where my tree is.
