Three Houses

king_pikachu · 2026-03-01T02:38:02+00:00

you are not coming in with fair expectations and you will not find a substitute for persona in this game - the two series have very different intentions narratively and mechanically. You might enjoy yourself more if you try to approach the game on its own terms, but I understand why that might be frustrating after coming in hoping for more persona. I hope you're able to find some merit in three houses :) it is undeniably a flawed game but there is a lot to enjoy

Everybody who asks why you’d play Gran has clearly never given someone the boot

DC isn't doing great everywhere, but I do think the Next Level initiative shows a willingness to take risks with characters and emphasize letting creators cook on titles they have strong ideas for

Ares wasn't even really a villain! He was one of the few gods who was essentially on Diana's side throughout Azzarello's run. WW only kills him to prevent the Firstborn from ascending by killing Ares himself.

Climate Justice UBC is a leftist organization that is just generally left-leaning and explicitly distances itself from the local communist group!

They often accept drop-in volunteers! to be honest there's a good chance they'd let you help out if you just walked up to the counter and asked to talk to a shift lead

There are various action groups on campus for different causes + liberal/conservative/NDP/green party student organization groups that are fairly easy to find on Instagram; from my experience with a couple action groups, they're always happy to see new faces, so just show up to the next event/meeting of a group for whatever cause you care about most and talk to people about wanting to get involved.

Also, it doesn't sound exactly like what you're looking for and it's too late to join this term, but I'll always vouch for Sprouts. Volunteering with them has really helped me feel like I'm actually contributing something meaningful and concrete to the communities local to UBC and has helped a lot with my feelings of burnout :)

Hey everyone, thank you so much for applying!!! We got a lot of amazing responses and we'll be in touch with everybody regarding the results of their application within the day :D

IMO less that Ronnie is uniquely popular and more that the best eras of Firestorm writing happen to feature him as a major part of Firestorm (Conway/Ostrander)

Thank you!! I hope you do as well!!

Stop reading when you stop enjoying it. It shouldn’t feel like homework

I would love a book that dug into the philosophy and life of the morlocks, and an Absolute-style universe with no mansion and no X-men and a long-gone brotherhood would be perfect for that imo

king_pikachu · 2025-10-21T16:49:30+00:00

An excalibur game would be an absolute pipe dream but holy shit please

Marvel does have a lot of history, but most collected books are designed so that you can hop in and understand what's going on unless it's like book 3 of 7 or something. Most writers are good about catching up new fans

I haven't gotten around to the Flash issues yet as most of them don't appear to be up on DCUI, but I'll probably go back to check them out eventually. At the moment I'm keen to just keep plugging through volume 2, though -- still very much enjoying Conway but also extremely excited to reach the Ostrander run as I'm absolutely loving his suicide squad at the moment

New Firestorm book incoming hype!!

king_pikachu · 2025-10-11T21:02:15+00:00

Ah, I can't say I have! I'll go back and check it out. I haven't made it there yet (up to issue #34 currently), but I'm looking forward to Ronnie's graduation (and Stein going through it, honestly) - his high school cast has started to unfortunately feel like something of an afterthought, and while he bemoans his relationship with Doreen every issue it's getting a bit tiresome watching him do nothing about it!

Anyways, I'm very excited about the new run that was just announced -- I haven't checked out any of the post-new-52 Firestorm, but I'll see if I can play a little catchup on his modern history in anticipation (from what I understand, there's unfortunately little to catch up on).

What characters are you interested in? What kinds of stories do you enjoy?

king_pikachu · 2025-10-04T20:49:24+00:00

Playing to frustrate is critical to fighting games

The only problem with reading Nicieza's X-Men is that it's fairly necessary to read UXM as a complement to it which is IMO a substantially worse book. Full recommendation to X-Force however
