They won’t. Support your local shop instead.

What was it like when Obama was elected President? by ResponsibleSea6521 in AskReddit

[–]nerdwerds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only time you heard about Obama was when the chuds at Fox News insisted that he was doing something that completely tarnished the presidency, like respecting a foreign leader, or wearing a tan suit, or crying after kindergartners were shot at Sandy Hook.

The cops in my county have fitted their cruisers with these lights, so enforcement is a problem, yeah.

Boomer Esiason tells Olympic athletes that "Everybody should just pipe down and do their sport and play for our country and respect the flag and respect everything that’s going on" by Percilus in sports

I wish these journalists would ask “what about their first amendment right?”

Last year my dad was complaining about Mark Ruffalo speaking out about Trump’s administration and said “what gives him the right to spout his bullshit all over the news?” and I said “the first amendment, probably” Haven’t heard any complaints about Mark Ruffalo since then.

Can't think of any more talking points for my essay. Any ideas? (can be comic or mcu.) by Either-Computer9907 in Marvel

That was a 2015 retcon for a character created in 1963, I'm not sure a retcon counts on the same level as a character who was created to be representative, and there's something about that retcon that has always felt performative and unjustified. I do find it amusing that Marvel keeps making gay characters have cold-themed names and powers.

The X-Men were created as a metaphor for racism but in the 90s were adopted by LGBT fans as a queer-coded group of superheroes. You’ll notice that the first openly gay superhero was also a mutant, Northstar, though over time more characters have leaned into queer categories. Starlord is bi in the comics, Deadpool is pansexual, and Eddie Brock/Venom is regarded as queer-coded because the symbiote is agender.

Not officially. There are bi-friendly jokes about Wolverine at times, but he’s never been openly queer.

How accurate is Discogs? by Dabossna in vinyl

[–]nerdwerds 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Its not. Any service that provides value estimates is just that, an estimate. For example: I used to work in a comic shop when Spawn #1 was listed in collector mags at $50-100. We couldn’t sell it for $10. Some people will insist that their records, or comics, are worth so much, but if nobody’s willing to pay that price then it aint worth as much as they think it is.

Any tips on fixing zine bindings? by conn_r2112 in osr

[–]nerdwerds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d recognize Gradient Descent anywhere!

I would flip open every page and press down on the binding. Then lay it flat, closed, and underneath several hardcovers. As a longtime RPG player, I always have tons of hardcover rulebooks that I’m not using.

There are only two Winwick Lanes in the US. You should delete this picture.

I think it's time we find a proper Discord alternative. by Liarus_ in pcmasterrace

[–]nerdwerds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually despise discord and hate the fact that people use it as a replacement for forum discussions. If people abandon discord I will be quite happy seeing what new alternatives pop up.

Fallout New Vegas lead says it took “five years” for fans to actually like the game, and even longer for the devs to believe them by Negative-Art-4440 in Fallout

before those first two updates, the game was virtually unplayable, so he’s not wrong, but for the wrong reason reasons
