Yeah, I didn't expect my take to change minds(if they're already made up). As a 90's kid who dreamed of having these comics come to life on screen, I rarely complain for complaining sake. Some are great, some aren't, some stories are changed, some aren't. I lean into enjoying them rather than the opposite. To each their own I guess. I, personally, am very excited for this, Thunderbolts and Superman.

The trailer makes it clear. This is Norrin Radd's origin story.


I don't see how you could say that just based off the trailer. It also can't be said that it isn't. So it's a coin flip at this point until either something gets leaked about it or it's confirmed when the movie drops.
Why is the existence of soccer fields and the lack of a baseball/softball sports complex an indictment on soccer? There's plenty of space in Ascension. I do agree that there should be a complex like that in Ascension and it does make you wonder why one hasn't been built.
That's awesome. My buddy started laughing when I said it because he was thinking the same thing. We were at the hotel near Array.
This pretty much sums up how I felt last night. It feels perfect - with the exception of the TTK and cash/plates. Every loot box should have at least $100-$500 in it and 1 plate. But that's a small gripe. Like you said, the strategy was back to late 2020 feel, we were running contracts, actually rotating, etc.. Running up 10 flight of stairs again was wild but I liked it. Minimal complaints and I'm actually shocked it ran as well as it did on day 1.
Watched a few clips here and there but buddies are saying it feels great. Looking forward to jumping in tonight.

Hard day for the madmardigans of the world. RIP to the man. Kilmer was one of a kind.

He never owned it outright himself. He had 2 other partners - Bryan and Joe. He sold his portion to them and moved on last year.

Danny isn't an owner of Brickyard anymore. He's the GM of Var's pizza.
Grandmaster's melt stick from Ragnarok was pretty bad.

Same. I think I need to go see someone about my hatred of her face. It's becoming a problem.
That morning show is so bad. It's actually hard to put into words just how bad it is. He thinks he's being edgy with this Burrow statement but I don't think there's anyone with an actual functioning brain that can possibly agree with this idiocy.
Chris Canty's takes are absolutely atrocious. His morning show on ESPN radio is god awful.
There was a man from Nottingham, who tried to cross a river,
What a dope! He tripped on a rope! Now look at him shiver!

What should those consequences be and who should decide what they are?

Twitch has become miserable with all the ads.


Twitch is and has been a dogshit platform for quite some time.
As others have said I'm extremely jealous you get that initial experience. I didn't appreciate it at the time and just finished another playthrough without interruption. Was sad to finish it again but was happy with how I played it, if that makes sense. I haven't done NG+ with the latest update so I may jump back in around the holidays and start that up. I haven't hit level 100.

As far as your questions I would say go with whatever build interests you and go with your gut. Each sign makes contributions so go with your preferred play style and have fun. My first play through I leaned heavy into igni and combat upgrades. Oils and potions are important and their importance scales up as you increase the difficulty. Not all alchemy merchants sell the same things.

As far as the gear goes, you'll kind of piecemeal your gear for a while until you start leveling and progressing the story. You'll start getting witcher school gear sets by finding the diagrams and then you have to craft those at blacksmiths but only certain blacksmiths can make higher tier gear. Following the quests/side quests will unlock those vendors. I always preferred the ursine gear set, it's also one of the strongest, but it also looks great IMO.

It really is a masterpiece of a game you're in for a ride.

ETA: To be clear, I'm not defending Doc. There is 100% a colossal double standard though


100%. I still would like to know if Doc knew she was underage when these messages were taking place. Because that does matter regarding the pedo claims. And how he responded once he was aware, IF in fact, he wasn't aware while it was happening.

Does corresponding to anyone outside of your marriage make you an a-hole/POS/scumbag, absolutely. Especially if you've done it before and had to carry the shame of that being out in the public.

I think Twitch's responsibility in this is being completely overshadowed by the piling on of Doc. They should have as much, if not more to answer for because of what they allow on their platform and what went on behind the scenes regarding all this.
