The Gate

There was a scene with adults at the door and then the head comes off and a bunch of demons come out which freaked me the fuck out when I was….I think 7 or 8?

    Absolutely agree. Disciplining those that got us into this mess should also be as big of a priority so that we can show that this isn’t how you run things while simultaneously working to fix the fuckups of the anal warts we call “representatives” of the people.

    Never played an X-COM game, but I bought Zero Company and loved the ever living shit out of it. I was so sad when I finished it because I wanted more. I’ll be replaying it again for sure now that I’ve finished up some other games I wanted to get to.

    They did it that way because it’s a commentary on the oath as the Commander-in-Chief of the US armed forces to defend the US from enemies both foreign and domestic. They’re making a case that our President is in league with the enemy. He’s violating the oath to uphold the Constituion and do his job correctly.

    Yes, they are authoritarian. That wasn’t the point of their post though, at least as I read it.

    You explained it before I got to it.

    I think this change to Jocasta’s origin was good and fitting for the current times and the MCU. Stark and Banner created Ultron in like hours/days and so it stands to reason that a group of smart people could do their own version much later, especially with so much tech and Ultron bots that had to have been recovered by various organizations.

    I correctly guessed, to my family, who Butcherbird is but I’m still uncertain who Paladin’s client is. I’m still thinking it’s going to be someone in Zodiac or ties to Zodiac since we know that’s the next show coming up and based on the little I’ve researched about the group.

    I think that’s why they want Vision captured, so they can have or create their own synthezoid that can infiltrate or be used to control global narratives.

    I’m assuming you mean the comic characters and not the actor and actress. I’m not super duper familiar, but this is what I remember:

    Big Barda was originally a part of the Fury’s under the direction and training of Granny Goodness (denizen of Apokolips) who words under Darkseid. She eventually becomes a hero.

    Mr. Miracle is also a New God and like an expert fighter and his biggest power is being a master escape artist/being able to escape pretty much anything. Also becomes a hero at some point.

    So, it sounds like we’re getting some New Gods and Apokolips stuff if they’re bringing in these two.

  • Moving to Adelaide (lemmy.world)
     

    I didn’t see anything in the rules about posts like this, so please let me know if general inquiry is not allowed here.

    With that said, hello everyone!

    My family (Americans from Chicago) will be moving to Adelaide next year because my wife accepted a university job over there (waiting on visa process for permanent residency).

    What advice or general knowledge about Adelaide would you love for us to know?

    Anything amazing we should be aware of, see, do, etc? I love D&D, so I’m hoping to find a group to play with eventually (I also love to DM).

    We’ve been to Sydney and Cairns a couple of years ago and absolutely loved our time there. We all cannot wait!

     

    I read people say online that Americans are loud. What does this mean, exactly? Is it literal volume or is it our personality/presentation? Something else?

    I may be moving to Australia because of my wife’s job, and I want to better understand this. I want to assimilate and I don’t want to be annoying. I’m personally pretty low key and listen more than speak, but this is my perception of myself.

    Gaming Laptop Recs? (lemmy.world)
    submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by to c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
     

    Hi all, my son is 11 and a gamer. He does a lot of Roblox (yeah, I know) but also has gaming interests outside of Roblox. He is getting into more robust games. He also likes to record and make YouTube videos of his gaming.

    He had a Razer Blade 15 and it crapped out after a year (RMA says motherboard). I had the extended warranty and they are giving me a cash settlement (check) for what I paid for the computer because Razer apparently said they cannot replace the part as it’s not available anymore.

    So, did I just have bad luck with the Blade and should I go for another in the Blade series OR go with a different gaming laptop replacement?

    I’m researching on my own, but also looking for recommendations from people that have knowledge in this area.

    Thank you!

    Edit 1: Yes, it should be a laptop. My child likes to switch environments and space is also an issue. Eventually we will consider a desktop, but I am looking for laptop suggestions.

     

    As a kid I hated veggies but as I got older I really enjoy some veggies, especially broccoli, roasted in a drizzle of olive oil and a little seasoning.

    As an American, I also used to abhor vegemite when I tried it until I learned how to properly spread it on toast during my visit over there and I’m obsessed now!

    What did you hate, but gave a second chance to? I’d love to try some new stuff!

     

    Hello, I’ve never traveled internationally post smart phone world but I have Verizon and I added the month international plan so I can use my phone over in Australia.

    I got the instructions back and it seems that I just need to turn roaming on and that’s it? I don’t need to activate a different eSIM or anything? Does anyone have experience with this on Verizon? It seems too easy and I’m worried I’ve missed something somewhere.

    Big fan of Matt Colville. I own Flee, Mortals the book and the PDF. I use the pdf in my games, but having everything in dndbeyond is also amazing. I think I’ll purchase it again and get Where Evil Lives too.

    I’m stoked about all of the 3rd party content getting added such as Kobold Press. It’s making this digital stuff very worth it!

    What does everyone else use and/or recommend?

     

    Anyone watch it yet? I am still processing it. I don’t know if I liked it or not.

    Thoughts and spoilers hereI was expecting more closure

    • Zillo beast was just in this whole series as a plot point to allow Omega to escape?
    • Rex and his crew had no resolution
    • Time jump with Omega in the Rebellion and literally no mention of her anywhere else?
    • What happened to Cody?
    • Why was Scorch done so dirty as a glorified name drop, he would’ve been covering their rear to make sure no one snuck up on them
    • Nothing about any of Tantiss’s other potential secrets
    • The clones didn’t have resolution. They’re just scattered across Pabu and Pantora?
    • The brain washed/mind controlled clones were cool but ultimately useless and easily defeated after spending all previous encounters handing everyone’s asses to them
    • Bunch of force sensitive kids out now to be discovered by Luke? Hunted by Vader?
    • Assaj was just there to tell us Omega was force sensitive? They could’ve used anyone to reveal this
    • Will Omega show up in Skeleton Crew or the crossover movie/show?

     

    Hey all, please direct me to any community that would better serve me for this question and I will gladly delete here and move it there.

    My conundrum: I have an old dining room table that is 30” high, 71” long, and 37.5” wide. It’s in my basement and sits against the wall when not in use and can be pulled out for room to sit on all sides.

    I have 5 adult players and am adding a 6th to our table. It’s fine except for needing room for snacks and player accessories (sheets, dice, dice trays, etc).

    I thought about getting a larger table that is foldable.

    My other thought is what kind of accessories could I get that would help them be able to place things on the table but also leave room for my mat and miniatures? Is there anything that I could clamp on? Are there stands?

    What options do I have? Money isn’t an object here, but I don’t want to have to break the bank if there are other options that I could do cheaper.
