Fire Control Superhero Alien Write a story of a superhero alien who can control fire and protect allies with force fields "Once upon a time, in a far-off galaxy, there was an alien named Blaze. Blaze was not just any ordinary alien; he was gifted with the ability to control fire and create force fields to protect himself and his allies. Blaze grew up on a peaceful planet where everyone lived in harmony. But one day, a dangerous alien race invaded, threatening the safety of Blaze's people. Blaze, determined to protect his home and loved ones, used his powers to fight back. With his fire powers, Blaze was able to incinerate his enemies and with his force fields, he was able to shield himself and his allies from harm. The invading aliens were no match for Blaze, and soon enough, they retreated, defeated. News of Blaze's bravery spread quickly throughout the galaxy, and soon he became known as a superhero. Other planets in need called upon Blaze to defend them from their own invasions, and Blaze answered their call, using his powers to bring peace to the galaxy. Blaze's bravery and selflessness made him a symbol of hope for all those in need. He continued to use his powers to protect and serve, becoming one of the greatest superheroes in the galaxy. And so, Blaze lived a long and fulfilling life, always ready to jump into action to defend those in need, using his powers to bring light to the darkness and hope to those who needed it most. He will always be remembered as a true hero." Dang it all, "Blaze"? Unsat, AI. Unsat.

Tell me ChatGPT hasn't interacted with living people who consider themselves cowboys without telling me ChatGPT hasn't interacted with living people who consider themselves cowboys.

Well, that's fargin' weird. Answered this and went to edit it, and my response disappeared. Anyway, gist was: while the suggestion is not a bad idea in and of itself, I could see it leading to calamity of e-peen measuring. The game kind of already tells you where your DPS ranks with the AT icons; knowledge of the various primary/secondary pairings in a given AT will let you refine those rankings. I would also suggest that if you click a teammates Character Info and look at the Powers tab, you can kind of infer how the build is set up from there: if there's lots of set bonuses that fill the screen, or NO bonuses at all, they likely aren't using damage procs to Amp their DPS. If they have only a handful of set bonuses, they likely are leaning very heavily on damage (or other) procs and will out-damage their peers within that same AT.

This is where COD (thanks. @UberGuy) comes in handy. Superior Frozen Blast imparts a 10s Mag3 Immob on proc, averaging 3.5 fires per minute.

But I am digging the new Forum Smells that are venting out of my browser.

If I don't have slots to go for a full set of Gaussian in Aim, I like slotting it with Gauss ToHit/Rech, Gauss% and a 50 Recharge IO. I forget the exact combo, but spreading 4 Enhancement Boosters between the ToHit/Rech and the Recharge IO, you can get slotted enhancement to 74% - just under the threshold where local recharge impacts the proc chances. It's not 100%, but configured that way you can usually rely on the proc to fire every time, allowing you to predict when your damage amp will be at its peak and max the damage output during the effect window.

I have a framework for every character, regardless of AT. I'm going to slot Miracle/Numina/Panacea in Health, PerfShift% in Stamina and if they don't have a heal they're getting the Power Transfer% as well. if they have a resist power, the earliest Resist power gets 4 pieces of UGuard with the proc, and then the two +Def uniques. Earliest Defense power gets three pieces of LotG and the two +Res uniques. If they're ranged, they get as many sets of Artillery as I can fit; if they're melee, then it's a mix of Winters, ATOs, Touch of Death and Obliteration. Once they have about 25% +Def in their preferred positional, I work towards whatever the secondary does best, then circle back and shore up whatever is least of +Res, +Rech or +Def until I'm out of slots. This approach doesn't lead to UBER DPS, but I usually end up with something that I can count on while I'm figuring out if I like the combo or not, and I usually only need to do one fine-tune respec afterwards.

Question: do modded sounds get louder as you get near them, the way the default glowie sound does?

Hold up now. Whereabouts are these MANLY HOT MILFS?

It would have been a better story if Wombo Dream worked like it used to, before it learned to deliver average results. It used to take any prompt whatsoever and deliver the perfect fever-dream results. Now it has guardrails and delivers less-insane drawings. I mean, it's still GOOD, but it used to be great.

Caillou started as a children's show, but it took a turn midway through the fifth season when a violent drug cartel moved into the neighborhood and set up shop right outside the school. One of the drug lord's 'children' (later revealed to be the drug lord himself, a 40yo man suffering from focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, 'Gary Coleman Disease') began pushing narcotics on the schoolyard playground. Caillou reported this to his Grandmother, who alerted Caillou's parents, who in turn notified the RCMP (Canada). This resulted in several low-level arrests but it was revealed that the capo and several of his lieutenants had diplomatic immunity, as the cartel were in Canada as ambassadors of the Pacific nation of Norfolk Island. In retribution, the cartel ran the family down in broad daylight as they were walking to the Ice Cream Stop, and attacked them with comically-long machetes. Viciously wounded in the initial assault, Caillou survived by climbing into the cavity created when his grandmother was disemboweled and hiding there until the attack was over; from his fetal position inside granny, he could clearly see every face of every attacker's committed them to memory. He was later found and nursed to health by a fictionalized version of Brent Gretzky (Canada), portrayed here as a highly-skilled martial artist and freelance assassin formerly in the employ of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (Canada). Brent Gretzky trained Caillou in the use of various deadly forms of martial arts and associated weaponry, as well as numerous techniques used to torture and kill a grown man using only maple syrup (Canada). In the five-part finale - the entirety of which was present in the form of a montage - Caillou was depicted tracking, isolating and systematically dispatching his family's killers one-by-one in progressively-novel and increasingly-gruesome ways; for instance, his first kill was stabbed in the navel with a pointy umbrella that was then opened after it passed through the man's back. Another took place inside a Great Clips, where Caillou ignored the Clip Notes on file and kept shaving the man's head until nothing was left of him but a pair of shins and gaudy snakeskin boots. Yet another was beaten to death in an alley by being struck 33,120 times in the same spot on his skull with the same banana, in a nod to the number of frames of animation typically used in a traditional Caillou episode. In the final episode, Caillou cornered the diminutive cartel boss inside a disused Kirby Vacuum outlet. After a lengthy battle that featured each man using improvised weapons found in the mmediate vicinity to inflict unreasonable wounds on each other, Caillou forced his opponent into a grievous tactical error wherein the doomed man attempted to use a Model 562 as a bludgeon; noticing the reversed polarity of the electric motor found in the notoriously-powerful appliance, Caillou activated the vacuum which proceeded to instantly suck the skin, subcutaneous fat, nerves, veins, muscles, connective tissues, cartilage, organs, and most of the skeleton into a receptacle bag, which then exploded, leveling the warehouse but leaving Caillou unharmed, holding only the man's denuded, diminutive skull. The shift to an ultra-violent (yet still, cartoonish) aesthetic turned off many longtime viewers, and the show was not renewed for a sixth season.

So obvious: Time Bomb.

Don't suppose you have the Defense/Survival amplifiers to tide you over until you can IO the IOs?

Word for word, that's the backstory from Caillou.

I'm doing my part by spamming the KLM Airlines forums with requests for Fire Farm builds.

I am pretty sure there's no +DAM to Amp Up at all. It's more like a half-strength Power Boost with some +ToHit and +Rech, and adds -End and +KD procs to powers directed at enemies by the affected player. I normally target other support-types with it since they would benefit most from the buffs. Here's the entry at CoD (thanks, @UberGuy) https://cod.uberguy.net/html/power.html?power=corruptor_buff.shock_therapy.amp_up&at=corruptor

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Philip Seymour Hoffman.

I started browsing the forums because that's just what I do when I am interested in something - I go find where other people who are interested in the same thing are hanging out, and see what they're saying. Right now I spend about as much time on the forums as I do in the game; everyone I knew or bumped into regularly in-game have been gone for a long time at this point. I'm starting to suspect they're not all having connection issues. I still hang around the forums because: A) I am an ADHD poster child and my mind drifts easily from tasks that have no value to ME to things that do, and forums.hc is right there B) I like to read the opinions/musings of the regulars who are still around - even if I don't always agree with them - because for the most part, their missives are delivered with a craft and voice that deserve an audience and thoughtful responses B2) But they usually leave themselves wide open for a shitpost response and I am pathologically compelled to oblige I used to give a shit about the direction the game was heading and so on, and used the forums to pontificate on matters surrounding that, but after P5 I realized it is and has always been going in a direction that will eventually scrape me off like a barnacle. From what I gather in outside communications, a lot of people have that feeling. I used to care about that - A LOT - because I used to feel like the game NEEDED all kinds of players in order to keep lingering around, but I've had my fill of farting in that wind tunnel. It's not the game it was when I cared about it, and if it were all to disappear tomorrow, it wouldn't have nearly the impact it would have had it shut down when I did.

That'll be 1,000,000,000 inf.

It's worth going through a Council farm just to bear witness to the cloud of spent shells that get caught in the swirl.

They've probably seen @Yomo Kimyata wandering around talking about giving away millions and figured they hit the mother lode.

But what better place to get links to airline reservation sites than the Homecoming forums?

Not a bad idea, but I almost never have slots left over for pool/EP powers on account of how much I rely on full sets in the primary/secondary and a certain set of uniques on every build. This is where the lack of a single proc that does +Res, +Def, +Regen, +Heal, +WIS, +End, +ToHit, +Rech, -Slow, -MAYO, +Stealth, and KB protection is really glaring.

I wish they would have went ahead and called them irresistible.

I'm not sure what scenario it was that convinced me of it, but I was under the impression that a debuff had to chew through ALL of your resistance above the softcap before it affected your actual resistance.
