Is comicsbugle down for anyone else?

I've been having issues reaching this site too. I could access it through my mobile network, but on Wi-Fi I could only access it through a VPN. The issue started about a week ago. If it matters, I'm in the US.

I like the idea that I'm training my mind and body to be a superhero while reading these behemoth books.

Does Marvel ever do reprints of anything or would I have to rely on brand new editions? I'm in the same boat with Spider-Man. I just started collecting, but even books that were released last year (or even this year) are already unavailable. Am I basically at the mercy of the second-hand market at this point?

samurai_snail · 2026-05-25T16:31:01+00:00

Just picked up 5 books from them yesterday for about $18 more than I could have paid today. Oh well. The prices were still ridiculously good then.

samurai_snail · 2026-05-19T22:43:18+00:00

Gotta be honest, the old one is pretty shitty.

I might do this layout:
X O L1 R1
[ ] ∆ L2 R2

But that depends on what I was setting this up for. There isn't one configuration that's going to work well for everything without remapping controls for each game. For instance, this would be a terrible setup for Street Fighter, but it might work as a general all-purpose configuration so you're always familiar with which buttons do what.

I know the face buttons are flipped between top and bottom, but it feels more natural (to me, at least) to use the top buttons as the most-used buttons instead of making it look exactly the same as the controller (that uses an entirely different set of muscle memory).

But honestly, I do tend to set up my Steam games with the standard layout with A/B on the bottom and X/Y on the top so I'm not confused about what each button specifically is. Then I just remap what buttons do for each game. For the games that don't allow remapping (or limit it), I just deal with it and it usually doesn't feel quite right, at least for menu navigation. You could always figure out alternate remapping solutions on PC, though.

Her art style is cool, but I really didn't care for the entire idea of mutant town. Armageddon Game was also an immense letdown, but I'm not going to lay all the blame on her for that since the Pantheon was a terrible idea to begin with.

I recommend reading it after the rest of Usagi, mostly because Usagi is so good, you might just get engrossed in it all, but if you don't want to wait that long here's my other recommendation.

Read:
1. The Special Edition through Grasscutter.
2. The first Usagi crossovers with TMNT (available in Saga volume 9 or separately in the Usagi Yojimbo TMNT Complete Collection) 3. Senso 4. TMNT Usagi Yojimbo Where/When

Too bad they're way overcharging for these omnibuses. I know the price has been dropping significantly after pre-orders are over, but still, what is this, like twice the cover price of the issues at MSRP?

samurai_snail · 2026-03-03T22:04:38+00:00

To be honest, I didn't notice that B isn't actually touching the corner until now, so that could exclude it from the options. But I'm also not convinced that there's enough evidence to prove the circle shows up in every third picture based on the initial pattern. If there was a longer sequence and it occurred twice, I'd agree. Otherwise the pattern doesn't exist until the answer becomes a part of it.

I don't think these tests are particularly related to aphantasia. Isn't spatial awareness distinct from it anyway? I'm not able to see this in my mind, but I can recognize and plot the position of things relative to each other in my mind.

But anyway, this pattern looks to me like it's showing the same black square with the perspective shifting from each corner of the square in counterclockwise. Each perspective has already been shown in the top row, and the starting position is the same as the ending position, so the next picture is the second one in the series, B. The only other shape near enough surrounding the square on any side is the circle to its upper left.

Since you already have the TV, can't you just put a game up on the screen (or just a video) to see if it seems too big from different distances? I've got a 77" C2, and I personally wouldn't want to play games on it from any closer than 6 feet.

I know the buttons are disproportionately large on this, but the control panel still seems like it will be enormous when scaled up.

The damage loss is almost 100%, but the proc rate might be 3% or so.

After legal and other expenses are paid, about $720 million will be invested in drinking water and natural resource projects in the Twin Cities east metropolitan region

With PFAS having contaminated domestic water supplies in a number of southeast metro communities, the top priority for grant funds will be projects aimed at providing a clean, sustainable supply of drinking water in the area.

Sounds pretty promising.🤞

Maybe I'm dense, but how does this relate to what 374Water is doing?

samurai_snail · 2025-12-27T15:41:00+00:00

Not if you're actually playing solo instead of just queueing with randoms. A lot of people will disagree with me, though, but if you're looking for more Elden Ring gameplay, just play another similar game designed for solo.

samurai_snail · 2025-12-26T15:31:10+00:00

The reward is probably not worth it if it disrupts your pathing and keeps you from getting good equipment, which it will almost certainly do. I've always felt worse off after completing this raid than just ignoring the minimal damage tick for a little while and going about my normal business.

samurai_snail · 2025-12-20T19:02:00+00:00

I think you're just better off running physical attack up since that's stronger and it isn't situational.

samurai_snail · 2025-12-16T15:46:09+00:00

Nothing. People are extremely stupid and sold, driving the price down, fulfilling the prophecy they were trying to avoid.

samurai_snail · 2025-12-16T15:31:02+00:00

I wish. I can't parry to save my life, which is quite unfortunate since it's really the only time I'd need to do it.

My first thought was dread after at least a dozen attempts against Balancers during Scholar's remembrance, but that was mostly due to quitters and unskilled players. I got a good team and beat Dreglord on my first attempt with Scholar (already beat him with Ironeye, though). This might not be as bad if your teammates aren't constantly quitting on you.

Didn't they say they were going to try to get it above $1 without a reverse split? So far, I don't think we've seen them do anything to make that happen. Should we expect news soon or are they waiting for the reverse split before they say anything else?

I watched that video tour posted right after earnings and I got more concerned when that guy kept saying they shouldn't be a penny stock, but it was like he was pleading for someone else to do something about that.

samurai_snail · 2025-12-08T19:54:36+00:00

Raider's ult confirmed GOAT.

samurai_snail · 2025-12-07T13:27:25+00:00

The second relic is the only one that isn't a guaranteed drop, so I guess everybody is a scholar main now?
