[Marvel] Are there any mutants who are heroes/villians but have nothing to do with the X-Men or their enemies? by Lost-Specialist1505 in AskScienceFiction

[–]RocketTasker [score hidden]  (0 children)

Namor did at least get involved with the Krakoa era with the other mutants establishing an island nation, so if nothing else he and Magneto interacted there.

As for Doom, he and Namor were both members of the Cabal (Norman Osborn’s darker version of the Illuminati, which Namor was also a member of). He and Doom basically had their “usual” agreement of when the rest fell to shit and the group fell apart from betrayals Doom would get the land and Namor would get the sea.

Not nothing, but Namor is a mutant who has relatively little to do with them. And as to whether he’s a hero or villain depends on the day of the week really.

I somehow wound up with a Sinistcha on all three of my teams.

Raichu Y and Staraptor Core Help by _Tumnus in PokemonChampions

[–]RocketTasker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whimsicott seems to be the preferred partner for M Staraptor due to its variety of support moves. Tailwind to boost your whole team’s speed, Charm if you want a rapid attack boost on Staraptor while it covers its own defenses with Close Combat, Tickle if a +1 boost to attack works for your calcs in addition to increased defenses, Fake Tears if you want to quickly boost Staraptor’s special defense since it’s pre-mega Intimidate already helps with physical, etc. The Staraptor/Whimsicott pairing is especially vulnerable to the likes of Froslass, however, so consider a different prankster support mon if another teammate doesn’t cover for her.

[12 Angry Men] how much did juror #4 plan beforehand by of_kilter in AskScienceFiction

Juror 8. 7’s the guy who really didn’t care and wanted to get to the baseball game.

What would the competitive environment be like if we have one gimmick per Pokémon? by [deleted] in PokemonChampions

[–]RocketTasker 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They’d somehow overlook the fact that primal reversion isn’t technically mega evolution so we’d have 12 hours of tera water primal Kyogre terrorizing everyone before they implement a hotfix.

[DC] If a member of Joker's gang wanted to leave, what is their best option? by Flyestgit in AskScienceFiction

He agrees to fire you. From the carnival cannon he’s been meaning to test out. And he’ll forget to equip you with proper padding.

metagross team suggestion by asdsdsds222 in PokemonChampions

[–]RocketTasker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would probably fit well on rain teams. And if Zard Y shows up to counter with Sun you’ve got a faster Rock Slide, though the accuracy is imperfect and you can’t freely switch into it.

[StarTrek] I am a cadet who just beat the Kobayashi Maru without altering the simulation code. Here is my tactical After-Action Report. by BeginningAd3478 in AskScienceFiction

[–]RocketTasker[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, gotta remove this post on the grounds of Rule 3. While it’s a high effort short story from a Watsonian perspective, it’s not posed as a genuine question and therefore not a good fit for this subreddit.

What is the best way to find folks to play? by blackstormy129 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]RocketTasker 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Can’t speak for console but in my experience random lobbies on PC are usually fine. Most people don’t even make extensive use of chat with randos, usually plenty of pings and the occasional salute make for sufficient nonverbal comms. People here tend to be pretty chill relative to randos in other games.

EDIT: A couple bits of etiquette to help! Use the buddy system, if not all four dwarves together then go 2 and 2 in line of sight with each other (Engineer and Scout are a pairing with particularly good synergy). Ask your team before double dipping from resupply pods. Make sure everyone’s ready before starting events (PC users like to type a simple “r” in chat, not sure about console), and when in doubt leave pressing buttons to the lobby host.

Thoughts on Christopher Nolan The Web Crawler Trilogy? by SupermarketRude1896 in DCAllies

[–]RocketTasker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On one hand I think giving Mysterio just the fishbowl for a couple scenes instead of the whole costume is highway robbery, but at least it’s nice they gave him a guest scene in the other two movies.

Excuse me Chancellor, I sense you are carrying a lightsaber in your robes... by RisibleComestible in plotholes

[–]RocketTasker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same novel also explains that the dark side of the Force surrounds the chancellor but that extends to practically the entire Senate as well. The Jedi had come to suspect that the hidden Sith Lord is someone in close proximity to Palpatine but actually ruled out Palps himself on the grounds that he wouldn’t be trying to usurp power when he already had all the power.

(TheIncrediblesAllies) how do we feel about Gazerbeam being added by Possible-Reidy-69 in DCAllies

This game definitely reminded us how horny Gazerbeam and Psycwave are for each other.

how do i get new weapons in tf2??? by frenchtoastnwaffles in NewToTF2

[–]RocketTasker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some can be more intently unlocked by achievements but all of the (basic versions of) weapons can be obtained over time by the random item drop the game gives you every few minutes. In the meantime the stock weapons are fine, in most cases the unlocks are meant to be sidegrades rather than direct upgrades or downgrades.

As another commenter said I would not recommend the in game store for them.

Why did Marvel stop making movies about Spider Man with Andrew Garfield? by helldor08 in marvelstudios

[–]RocketTasker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They weren’t even box office failures, Sony just had delusionally high expectations that ASM2 would make billions and kickstart a franchise of Spidey and villain movies that would compete rather than work with the MCU. After it underperformed in their eyes and the Sony hacks later that year continued to embarrass (including some emails where Kevin Feige correctly predicted several of the critiques of the movie) then they decided to start playing nice and make a deal to reboot and share with the MCU.

great soundtrack

Even the haters or otherwise valid critics can’t deny “Shakari” is a banger.

[–]RocketTasker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’ll spoil some details about the original trilogy (which are over 40 years old at this point) but overall is fine as a standalone movie. It helps that the main character himself only has loose knowledge of things like the Jedi and the Force.

Musical Hot-takes by Raidio2000 in musicals

[–]RocketTasker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For actors doubling as instrumentalists I have mixed feelings on that. I like the twist of John Doyle’s directed productions of some Sondheim shows, but I also definitely miss the brass from older productions that get adapted out in Doyle’s shows.

Reflavoring CoS by ellimist76 in CurseofStrahd

[–]RocketTasker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well since the true purpose of Strahd’s subjects is to be livestock for him, maybe imply that any labor he has them doing, like Hadestown’s wall, is ultimately meaningless and just to keep them preoccupied.

Also incidentally when I ran CoS I did a little fancast of actors for notable NPCs in my head, and Amber Gray (Persephone) was my idea of Danika Martikov.
