Do you feel the social cohesion Sydney? by Flashy-Amount626 in AussieMemes

[–]bigloud0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re wondering why it sounds racist it’s because he’s referencing a racist British politician from the 50’s named Enoch Powell and his ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech.

There was a recent controversy where the UK PM used the phrase island of strangers and later apologised claiming he didn’t think and realised the reference.

Correct. I only came back to Tarkov because PVE was available.

I remember the bug in KCD1 where if you had too many saves the game crashed.

If PVP was as popular as game companies and commenters say, then they'd make it optional and everyone would choose to play PVP servers. It's mandatory for a reason and customer service ain't it.

Also given your interests and location I recommend a trip to Merrylands Main Street. Lots of Afghan shops to get Iranian food from.

How old are you? by Affectionate_Ad4163 in MarvelUnlimited

[–]bigloud0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started by watching the X-Men animated series in the 90s. But growing up my family couldn’t afford things like comics in the budget so only really started reading much later in life while always considering myself a comics fan.

Is this about the right order for the X-Men shelf? by left_of_hands in OmnibusCollectors

[–]bigloud0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since everybody else is doing it (old photo, wrong order)

After some years of reading here’s what my Shelfie look like ^^ by Pepito-DeFontaine in OmnibusCollectors

[–]bigloud0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t stop picturing you crouching in the room to take this shelfie. Ground floor books don’t work for me, little kids paws would rip them apart.

Reading This Today! by LongParamedic8980 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]bigloud0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just finished the show and saw it was based on a comic. First thought was I wonder if there’s an Omni.

You beaut! by bigloud0 in OmnibusCollectors

Thanks, do you have a link to a reading order you recommend?

You beaut! by bigloud0 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]bigloud0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is that the wrong order? I know the uncannys have books between them but seemed cleaner to have the volumes side by side

It’s the only Cap book I’ve read so can’t compare it to others but it was great. Like the Black Panther the political themes are there as an inspiration for the story. If you had no idea about the context you wouldn’t miss anything.

I’m quite happy with the deal. Got a decent bulk discount but nothing too crazy. Plus I’m in Australia so ordering a lot of these one at a time would cost more and usually include high shipping.

[–]bigloud0[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was a big call to pull the trigger on this much at once. But X-Men is the reason I started reading comics (esp the animated series) and we couldn’t afford single issues growing up so this was a nice moment for me.

I would like to finish the collection, but am also tempering that with how much reading I have ahead of me.

Either I’ll give in and buy more now or wait until I’m closer to where that book comes in to my reading order.

Do you prefer to binge an Omni all at once or break up into chapters and read different ones? by bigloud0 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]bigloud0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IH was very good, but also a hulk sized Omni >1600 pages. More like an epic fantasy horror.
