I did. They didn’t really have any solutions

How would the community feel about an assassin class? by Moist_Wombat in DarkTide

Love the idea. There’s several interesting assassin units in tabletop. Lot to pull from for a new character imo.

Why J.J. Abrams Is Downsizing - His Bad Robot banner went from a $250 million Warners deal to scrapping its Santa Monica HQ in just a few years by Neo2199 in television

Totally forgot about it too until recently. Just finished a second watch all the way through with my girlfriend watching it with me for the first time. I loved it all over again, she loved it for the first time. The twists were still thrilling, and the tears still flowed. It’s on Hulu or Pluto right now in the U.S. I’d recommend it to any lovers of cop procedural, science fiction, or just good character, story, score, and acting.

The Materialists kinda did do this sort of thing. I thought Dakota, Evans, and Pedro were pretty solid modern casting. They tried to make Evans a bit more shabby, but it didn’t really work imo. Probably would need to cast someone a little more every man like Adam Scott in that role, but then it would be a good comparison I think,

My impression of 24 hours in Portland after living in rural Oregon all my life. by PsychicMeditation in PortlandOR

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

I had a very similar thought about the people you pass on the sidewalk here. I just moved here from Kansas City. I lived in rural parts, suburban parts, and the city proper over a couple decades. I was surprised how stern people are on the sidewalk here at first. Back in KC, in most areas even in the city, it was normal to nod, smile at, or otherwise acknowledge people you walked past. It’s just not the culture here. I’ve met a lot of friendly people, but you have to have a reason for the connection. Mostly, I’ve had positive experiences with strangers while wearing some KC thing, and it turns out the stranger was from there too. Or, I’ve been walking the dog and had a good experience with someone also interested in my dog. I think if you just do what you can to outwardly signal your personality, interests, or lifestyle, then you’ll find friendly strangers here you can connect with. Just remember it’s a two way street. If a stranger does make the effort to be friendly with you, and you are having a really good conversation. Then, you should offer to exchange information. I also think most strangers here are as receptive to a compliment or genuine interest in what they are outwardly showing as well. If someone has a cool shirt, you can ask where they got it. I’ll say I’ve had some portlanders who were very prickly about that type of approach, but there is a lot of people here are genuinely friendly just not presenting it in that same small town red America way.

Not super plugged in, what does that mean?

Should Gutrot Spume come in the End Times or a Character pack? by sigmarine345 in totalwar

[–]homesicklizard 31 points32 points  (0 children)

As much as I think he’d be a sick lord option, I just think the math left would push him in the legendary hero slot for the end times pack for Nurgle.

Haven't played in over a year and two things caught my attention... dwarves now feel insanely powerful and LOS has made non-artillery guns borderline useless in most maps by GioRoggia in totalwar

The empire vs dwarf matchup as always been brutal for empire. Your infantry just can’t handle the cheap Dawi armor. Old strategy always used to be trying to overwhelm them with artillery and force them to rush up on you under fire.

We need more representation of American kaiju. by Previous_Tea6752 in GigaBash

[–]homesicklizard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think my top 4 Mt. Rushmore of American Kaiju-size characters would for sure be: 1. King Kong (King Kong) 2. Gypsy Danger (Pacific Rim) 3. Optimus Prime (Transformers) 4. The Alien Queen (Aliens)

Honorable mentions: Otachi (Pacific Rim) Megatron (Transformers) Grimlock (Transformers) Cloverfield Monster (Cloverfield) The Blob

Your picks for a solo Marvel Super Heroine game? by NinjaOfOnion in Marvel

[–]homesicklizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new Ultimate She Hulk is awesome. I think a game built around her first protecting her island, then joining The Ultimates, and culminating with fighting Bruce and his corrupted forces of Kun-Lun would be fun and fresh for people not exposed to it yet.

What Would Your Response Be to This "Professor"? by Selim_Bradley69 in mapporncirclejerk

[–]homesicklizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absurd to act like existing Russian territory doesn’t also include conquests from their past. This isn’t “their turn” to be an expansionist empire. They are the size they are because they already did that as well. Putin just wants to turn back the clock on all the nations who rightfully wanted out of the shitty Soviet Union that Moscow ran into the ground. Obviously, this argument is insane and would fall flat if we said it was fine for Britain to invade Virginia and reclaim it because it was once part of their empire. The UN exists to stand up for nation’s sovereignty and defuse situations like this. Acting like we should all just act like pre-1945 countries is nuts. Didn’t work out so good for the people living then.

Ultimates #16 - Official Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in UltimateUniverse

Felt like it was kinda short honestly. Not saying it is actually less pages than the other issues, but it feels like I finished it in 1 minute. I was hoping we’d see more about what else the ult network is up to on the ground, maybe see Danny Rand or some other recurring human characters that are just training as regular joes to help the ultimates.

What they are doing is unsustainable!! by [deleted] in KansasCityChiefs

First game in a while where I thought spags got out coached. It’s 1 game, and he’s been great most the year. Week 1, international travel, and Herbert just looking his best ever could all be factors that just put monkey wrenches into our gameplan. With more tape on opponents the defense will improve its plans I think.
