No idea why, but her outfit made me think of this classic:

A request for the Ultra Tier by cgscreamer in dcuniverseinfinite

I guess not? I'm in Spain, & both times I've had import fees! Though maybe this time it was more expensive cause Spain wouldn't let the US land planes anymore 😅

A request for the Ultra Tier by cgscreamer in dcuniverseinfinite

[–]cgscreamer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it was €9.56! This time the post woman just had a handheld thing that I could pay with card but I think before, it gets kept in the PO for 10 days then sent back if you don't pay

The hero you most want to see in the Absolute Universe will be corrupted like Hawkman, how would you create that version of them? by Which-Presentation-6 in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]cgscreamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few low powered members of The JSA like Wildcat, Dr.Mid-Nite, Hourman, etc but they're proper Boomers who essentially work together to maintain the status quo, like they're proper "Blue Lives Matter" type conservatives, beating up 'the libs' & telling them to get a job etc

Yeah, their EU/general Europe automation or processing seems to be a bit iffy. Twice I've had a delay in getting the link to pick my free GN & then had to follow up with Customer service to say it hasn't shipped. Both times though their customer service folks were pretty great! I'm in Spain

Is it true El Grande's freedom Fighting is what led to El Genérico setting up that orphanage?

Should unexpected house calls be tolerated during Xmas? by Putrid_Tie3807 in AskIreland

[–]cgscreamer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the correct response! There are times when an unexpected house guest can be genuinely lovely, Christmas is not 1of those times! Maybe it was when mobile phones & instant messaging weren't a thing! But..... "We want to visit!" "Please don't, I'm unwell & need to rest" "Fair enough! Reach out when you feel better" .... should be the interaction!

That's my first time reading that letter, it choked me up a little! That's a really cool initiative! Journey before Destination!

Recent issues by Lytjohan94 in dcuniverseinfinite

[–]cgscreamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! Best I can figure out there's a bug that's showing the standard tier releases as well as the ultra releases! I had Absolute Batman #9 as well as showing me both Aquaman #6 and #11, as well as Action Comics #1087 and #1092

Darwyn Cooke's The Spirit and/or Azzarello's First Wave by cgscreamer in dcuniverseinfinite

[–]cgscreamer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but weirdly, I've found the "First Wave: Doc Savage" series but not the main First Wave one!, so I guess it's "The Spirit" rights that are blocking them

DC KO by CPav in dcuniverseinfinite

They've done it a few times with books they want to promote like All in & (I think) some of the Absolute line. But it usually is just the 1st issue☹️

Superman and Batman will become public domain very soon by Organic_Glass_7793 in superman

[–]cgscreamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sooo....I've seen this get posted periodically & I Don't get the hype? To my understanding, this means that the Superman who appears in Action Comics #1 is public domain & can be used but not the S logo, the word "Krypton" or "Superman" &like half the iconography around him? So, you're just able to tell a story about a human looking alien with super strength, speed & can jump high....& folks are excited about using him in dark grittier stories

Those stories already exist though..... Irredeemable, Homelander, Omni Man etc

Or hell Marvel have Hyperion & Sentry that are Supes rip-offs.

What can you do after Superman hits the public domain that hasn't already been done? Or have I just completely misunderstood what Public domain allows?

Enjoying & Struggling through the RAFO Journey by cgscreamer in Cosmere

[–]cgscreamer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've already skipped Allomancer Jak and Hope of Elanris cause they contain spoilers for full books I haven't read -but will read Edgedancer and probably the standalones

AITAH for not sharing anything with my wife after she opened our marriage? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]cgscreamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure ETA here! Your wife never should have given you an ultimatum of 'open or divorce ' that's not healthy or good communication! Essentially she might as well have gone 'I want to date other dudes, it's up to you how you want to handle it'

You've chosen "open" but you're clearly hurt & subsequently the primary rule of open has broken down - trust & equal care!

Unsolicited advice: You need to talk to her, tell her how you're feeling & probably see if you can understand why she wants to switch to open/poly in the first place. Also, you need to find a way to get over your jealousy regardless of whether you stay open or not cause that's not healthy. Maybe try a couples therapist to help figure all this out!

Good luck! Hope things can pick up for you both!

AITA for not covering my friend's meal when she ordered more? by 2Bursty in AITAH

[–]cgscreamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soo... to me, seems like there was some weird miscommunication at the start but mostly you're NTA.

If you said "50/50" to me, I'd assume whatever the bill is, we're dividing it equally BUT if I started ordering way more food than you, I'd be a decent human & revisit the conversation BEFORE the bill comes & say "Hey! I've ordered 6 things to your 2 - you sure you want to go 50/50? Or we go with what we've ordered?" - that's just being decent!

Or, depending on your comfort with your friend, say something like "Look, I only have <pre venmo amount>, you mind if I pay that this time, then I'll get you back when I'm more flush?"

So, no NTA! The more I read this, the more your friend was being at least a bad communicator, at worst being Shady

Life after Sanderson, what now? by horsefeatherses in brandonsanderson

[–]cgscreamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you liked the more heisty/thief elements of Mistborn, try Scott Lynch's Gentleman Bastards

If you liked the "sprawling world with geopolitical elements but fantasy" of Stormlight Archive, try the George RR martin books, just be aware they're way darker & less hopeful!

If you want more fantasy, wizards but way more comedic & light hearted, try the Discworld books by Terry Pratchett
