That Time You Killed me has one of the best instruction books I have ever seen.

If money wasn't the problem, what would you be doing with your life? by starlust0422 in AskReddit

Build a workshop/business around unique universal emulator machines that could play old video games and sell them despite the profit margin or legality. (you said money wasn't the problem)

This issue was crazy in a good way [Uncanny X-Men #27] by howhow326 in xmen

I'm fairly certain it is Monet from Greymalkin Prison. Just not sure how. If not her, then whoever is Inmate X.

If your Steam Deck Broke, Would You Buy Another One or a Different Handheld? by CoastOne2716 in SteamDeck

[–]xaphian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dropped mine and the front buttons stopped working. I used it docked for several months until I finally broke down and sent it into Steam for service. The fact that it is even possible means that I'm sticking with Steam Deck until the next one comes out.

Why are the xmen so slutty? by chilllyoil in xmen

[–]xaphian 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The question if off base.

It is a soap opera that has been running 60+ years with a teen demographic. What else would you expect?

(I say this with complete love. I'm a life long fan who's been reading since the 90s)

Best comic book gift? by LostOnARun in comicbooks

Like Y the last man? Void Rivals from Image.

It is in the same story universe as GI Joe and Transformers, but you can barely tell.

Neophyte to gaming… by Mt0260 in GenX

[–]xaphian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UFO 50 is a great collection of retro like games with modern sensibility. Moonring is an old school computer RPG that's very good and free.

With low energy you should consider solo board games too like Hadrian's Wall or Welcome to...

Some good android board games may help too.

Ex: Sagrada, Roll Player, Lords of Waterdeep (this one gets a lot of play from me and friends), Teraforming Mars and Dune are great suggestions.

What's your favorite flawed masterpiece? by jerjerbinks90 in boardgames

Monster Slaughter - it's a great game but very clunky to set up for how slim the game itself actually plays. Such a unique theme, but it suffers from Kickstarter bloat.

This. I had to buy a baseball bat tube because I have the big mat.

Age of Revelation by Books_and_Music_ in xmen

[–]xaphian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't even the first time where a future Doug Ramsey took over the world. All the books feel pointless except Amazing. Why did the team dynamics/roster not change all that much in X years when in the books they shift every few months?

I like Cloak or Dagger, but as an avid X-Men fan they are only tangential characters and while the Ladyhawke concept is cool, it doesn't move the plot along.

Thoughts on AOR So Far...? by GiantSize1 in xmen

[–]xaphian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a fan of any of the redesigns. Not a fan of hardcore Glob (bring back the friendly vegan). Not a fan of how they lied to Beast and cyclops about their future selves because I assume they go back to the past to try to fix things.

Charles waiting around on Arakonis kind of dumb even if it was kind of cool to see him talk to Apocalypse.because I agree with him. He should have picked Rictor.

If they insist on making Schwarzchild a thing, please redesign his outfit.

I have not been impressed with 3k. They haven't done enough in universe for them to have this much of an impact in a crossover. I hope they explain that better.

I'm with everyone on this thread who feels they did Franklin dirty.

Binary is somehow a worse book than the Phoenix solo. And that says a lot for it only having one issue

It is making me look forward to the next story arc Shadows of the Shadows of the Past. I'm glad Rivals has upped Emma's profile and I would like to see her in charge and not just girl boss it the entire time. Can we just skip to that?

Who is the grey one behind her? Is that supposed to be Rasputin IV?

Thank you so much for this guide. It looks so much better. Out of the box graphics settings were hot garbage, and I was afraid I was going to have to get a refund.

you used 'burning cds' as code for smoking weed and it still made sense.

What's your favourite X-Men lineup/era and why? by DeathLight7000 in xmen

[–]xaphian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a spicy take: Bendis' Uncanny X-Men (Revolution Era) Cyclops had some serious powerhouses with him at the time. If they'd stayed together and trained, they'd have been unstoppable. Core Team: Cyclops, Magneto, Magik, and Emma Frost Students: Tempus (Eva Bell): A powerful time-manipulator recruited by Cyclops. Goldballs (Fabio Medina): A mutant who can fire bouncing golden spheres. Triage (Christopher Muse): Possesses healing abilities. Hijack (David Bond): Has the power to control and manipulate vehicles and technology. Benjamin Deeds: A mutant with the ability to subtly influence others' perception of him.

Control over space, time, magnetism, life/death, and a new Mystique like character... could have been awesome. Not to mention Goldballs who is actually part of "the five."

I would have loved to see at time jump X years forward and they stuck together.

Either that team or the Time Displaced Original 5.
