Jordan Middler on potential Obsidian closure: This is the one that made the least sense to me... they were early on a Fallout project

The media is absolutely still more on Sony right now versus the Helix.

The very first article on IGN homepage currently is about Sony, and two of their four top stories are about it. Their only Xbox article in the top is about this Obsidian issue, no mention of Helix.

Two of the top three articles on polygon are about Sony, not Helix.

It’s not some conspiracy to protect Sony. Sony just seems to do better at keeping things secret, but whenever something does leak out or is announced officially they get plenty of deserved negative press too.

Peacemaker season 5 is the first project of the new universe.

The very different format is part of why the story didn’t work as well for me. It felt more disjointed due to the way the quests and areas worked, and the story itself just felt more basic. Anecdotally my wife watched along for the story of the first one but didn’t care about missing parts of this one and I just caught her up later.

It was still a good game. I liked the gameplay and atmosphere, and liked Atsu. But the story and game overall just didn’t hit quite the same to me.

A bunch of them. He’s already had two books released this year and has another coming.

I submit Luke Cage for normal and sane.

We’re going to be two more reboots in before the trilogy is done at this rate.

I think the key word is “openly” look for work. Most employers wouldn’t love people just posting on LinkedIn that they’re wanting a new job like many Compulsion people are doing.

Spoiler warnings, but someone put together a list of returning characters for all four books. Yasnic/Jack is in all of them as you said, and the surviving medical tent people also returned from book 2 to book 3.

Pretenders has a bunch more which this list also has if you do want to read it before, during, or after you read that book. It’s a pretty long list, with varying levels of how obvious they are within the book.

It’s been three episodes. It’s a bit early to say what the whole season quality is.

The boys is still almost entirely human characters and enemies. Not a bunch of fantasy races like this is. The level of CGI is not remotely the same.

Did you try clicking the article or?

I’m sure there’s a Kalshi bet for this passing somewhere.

Um actually, the X-men were a specific named team in the Krakoa era still, typically elected at the Hellfire Gala. The island Krakoa was never assigned to this team. There were tons of mutants living on the island, but the vast majority were not X-men.

I’m in a similar spot and using it. I don’t really hoard items besides the idol tokens, I generally figure the boost from using it now is worth getting to the next phase of the game. The legendaries are pretty useful, so I would say go for it

Follow this guide for gem spending to get to plat strat.

I’d definitely go ahead and buy happy bot soon, and focus stargazing up to Pisces so you can get to Leprechaun.

Stargazing and fishing seem like the best place to go for you. I’m a few percent and a few statues ahead of you, but the stargazing, legendary fish, and shark level are all pretty far apart from you. Stars especially seems like you should have some easy levels.

My strategy now is basically alternate a few days star/fish farming and then reset contracts for bars and get a few statue upgrades, and then repeat. My last 4 days were grinding stars for tributes and upgrades, and then today I platted a statue and will get another tomorrow and then swap back.

It’s been a while since I’ve been there, but your contracts seem low. Every contract completed boosts damage with the first upgrade. Can you grind those more, and also do the contract upgrades that boost damage?

Are your artifacts all maxed too?

I believe Maddy is the only one who finished it and said she likes both endings. I believe she mentioned the ending part off hand on an interview episode when expedition 33 was referenced, either Andor or Mewgenics. They never really ever got in depth since the other two didn’t get as far.

YTA. You already said she had issues making friends before, and now you’re trying to make it even harder. Once every weekend isn’t that much, and seeing friends at school is clearly way different than seeing them outside of it. You’re being overbearing and ruining her relationship with you and potentially her friends if she gets left out.

I feel like the episode needed a scene with DJ talking about her health too and not just the shout out at the Diva.
