Ah yes Superman being a jerk.

Also, She-Hulk twerked with Megan Thee Stallion. So that's a thing.

That gamma ass.

Twerking is like whatever... but celebrity cameos are so not a good idea.

It intrinsically dates the show moving forward and it also makes it feel like that you don't have confidence in your primary cast and story such that you need to bring in a famous pop star du jour to try and drag in an audience.

This video does a nice job of summarising how FromSoftware made Elden Ring more approachable without necessarily making it easier.

I'm currently playing through it and it's the first of their games that I feel like I can possibly finish properly. I'm playing it pretty slowly though so it's gonna take some time.

Glad you're having fun with Elden Ring! It's a really fun time!

Noah Gervais, in the context of his massive pair of videos on the FromSoft catalogue; made the observation that, with the exception of Sekiro, the Souls games have effectively a hyper granular difficulty adjustment system built into the game in the form of the levelling system. You can direct your own experience via build, what you choose to level and focus on. If you over-level for a boss, they can become utterly trivial.

If you have [literally] 10 hours to kill (or want something interesting on in the back ground) I would highly recommend Gervais' videos on FromSoft. The first one is here:

Well lads, it's finally here. The last actual working day of Boris Johnson as Prime Minister. On Monday, we shall have a new person in post, in all likelihood Liz Truss.

Here is a pretty good summation of the last three years.

It's been a really bad time for the UK and it's almost certainly going to get worse. I sincerely hope Johnson falls down some stairs and lands in sewage farm.

Still, at least Truss is... erm... less impervious to consequences? Dumber? More likely to lose the general election in 2024?

I don't know. But at least Johnson is gone. What a right bastard.

Name farming again.

There will be a bunch of colonies in the Terran Stellar Union (name pending). I would like to see what names people think would work well. There are three types, ones on the surface of a planetary body, ones that are floating in space (Untethered Colonies, or U-Colonies), usually above or near a stellar body, and ones outside the Solar System called Exo-Colonies.

Planetary surface Colonies:

-One on Luna (Earth’s moon)
-One on Ganymede (water harvesting)
-One on Ceres (metal mining asteroid belt)
-One on Europa (water harvesting)
-One on Pluto
-Four on Mars (Mars is the only terraformed planet, as such it actually has one large colony (the original one) and three smaller ones.

Untethered Colonies:
-One above Jupiter (gas mining)
-One above Neptune (gas mining)
-One above Venus
-Three not situated around or near any stellar body. These were formed by private individuals or organizations or companies.

Additionally, there will be three newer exo-colonies located in the following.
-One at Proxima Centauri
-One at Barnard’s Star
-One at Wolf359.

There will also be a few space stations too, but these are the primary ones. Fell free to spitball and throw a few names out.

Are you planning another RPG?

[Cleric of Hell’s Brigade]

Are you planning another RPG?

I am. This one will be Sci-Fi based. Ships, mechs, mystery, intrigue, and everything. And not everyone has to be the same thing. Mech pilot? Sure. Fighter pilot? Sure. Ship’s bridge officer or doctor, so no combat? That works too.

Lot of potential roles in this one.

MHA:

spoilers:

I feel at this point, Mirko losing limbs has moved from being a serious and dramatic plot point to an almost comedic bit.

end of spoilers

[Hiromi]

well this is a pleasant surprise

Wow, wonder what the story behind this is.

Whatever the story is behind that is prime Silver age cover material
