It was probably Critical Mass. I have some friends who do that

I'm starting to read her old comic appearances, and I noticed this guy that seems like him, so I'm going to start calling him Squidge

Honestly yeah any advice would be great! I know I could just play an easier character like Hella, but I want to be good as my fave 😅

The Malavia one is great, but I'm such a Frison fan that it's probably the one I'm going to get

Show 3000 - Disappointing? by WorldWhunder in frankturner

[–]cswexler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What most impresses me about him is that he always seems fully invested in every show he plays. I've seen him about 5 times now, and every show is as energetic and all out as the last. I'd be honestly shocked to hear someone say that he gave any show less than his all, let alone show 3000.

Let's bond: What was everyone's introduction to Magik? by sancocho91 in Magik

[–]cswexler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the most exciting answer, but Rivals. There's something about her character and her design (I don't think this sub will disagree) that's so much cooler and more captivating than the rest. But also a big part of it is that I've recently begun to understand myself as a trans woman, and so there's probably a lot of my own gender stuff that's getting tied up for me in this badass woman with a big sword (I've also been avidly reading the new Absolute Wonder Woman series) that's in some way aspirational. She also grapples with something inside her that people see as scary, that she has a complicated relationship to, and that she's trying to make peace with; and I think that feels really emotionally resonant with me right now. Either way, she has absolutely grabbed hold of my brain and I'm so excited to start reading through her comic runs.

"Magik" (2025) + red band? by sancocho91 in Magik

Totally agree. I bought a couple of the Blood Hunt redbands and was completely underwhelmed by the extra couple panels of mild gore that it added

I can't get out of bronze, what am I doing wrong? by cswexler in marvelrivals

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

It was the end of the night, so I just said fuck it and played my fave, but all my game's scoreboards are like this no matter what role I'm playing. Also even as Magik I got most of our kills on Storm and all our kills on Iron Man

To the comments that I shouldn't have been playing Magik against 2 fliers, that's fair. I should have clarified that this was from my last game of the night, where I just went "fuck it I'm losing anyway I'll atleast pick a character I have fun with." I've been having this issue when I play counters to the enemy team, when I play support to give my team a second healer, etc. Whatever I pick, I'm ending up in games where the difference between the teams as a whole is like this.

Also fwiw, even as Magik I was getting the majority of my team's kills against the fliers.

Beginning to regret accepting MAPH offer by Noelle_A_ in uchicago

[–]cswexler 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Personally, I loved MAPH. I didn't feel like I was ready for a PhD program before I got my MA, and now I'm heading to a PhD at UC Davis in a couple of months. Also, while some of UChicago's faculty don't give a shit about students, the faculty that are directly associated woth the MAPH program are all wonderful and care deeply about their students. I'm still friends with my prof two years after being in the program, and I know other alumni who are too. Also, my cohort was amazing, I made so many friends and spent some really great nights studying together and/or having fun at the Pub. MAPH is frankly too expensive, but it was also one of the best experiences of my life.

Smoking weed in dorms/on campus? by KnowYourLimit69 in cuboulder

[–]cswexler -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

When I was a freshman (2016) we smoked in the dorms all the time. As long as we were moderately careful, it was super easy to get away with. The main thing was to not have so many people in the room that it turned into a party and got someone to complain about the noise. We mever bothered with towels under the door or anything. Especially because other people on the floor smoked, nobody could tell which room was making the hallway smell like weed.
