  1. Actually it does. At least according to this post from a MODERATOR: But hey, you just keep on trying to tell people what they're allowed to say on the internet. Let me know how that works out for you.
  2. Well, if you don't like my response then feel free to log in to your moderator account and delete my post. Don't worry, I'm used to it. Otherwise, giving me orders is a waste of your time.
  3. Have you tried the Sorcery Power Pool?
  4. Well, one of the people who put a thumbs down is a developer. So I'm sure there's a good technical reason.
  5. Oh, c'mon man! Now you're just trying to get me in trouble. You know darn well I can't respond to that without getting another involuntary forum vacation. Man. I'm getting this weird sense of deja vu.
  6. No, I really don't. I'm not a pedant so I don't care about specious or semantic arguments. The information in the link is official, which was the request that you made in the post that I was replying to.
  7. Here's when the seasons officially start and end according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a department of the U.S. Federal Government. That makes it official. https://www.noaa.gov/education/resource-collections/climate/changing-seasons
  8. I can't wait until AI can accurately simulate actors. I'm hoping for a couple of more seasons of ST:TOS.
  9. Ok, you're right. That's twice now. I really must stop posting before I've finished my coffee. Nice analysis of Willpower, by the way. I just thought of something else though. Is there any chance that the Fighting Pool attacks have been buffed enough to fill in as Sentinel melee attacks? I don't expect them to be on par with Energy Transfer or Total Focus, but are they at least significantly stronger than Brawl?
  10. You are correct. However I believe the entire premise of this thread is not what Sentinels are, but what they could have been. Had I been designing Sentinels I would have given them 1 or 2 melee attacks in their secondary pools, then I would have adjusted the armor powers/toggles to compensate so that Sentinel defense would have been more like 80% - 90% of Scrapper values. I don't use melee attacks very often on my Blasters, but when they get forced into melee range they're nice to have. I keep having to remind myself that ranged attacks can also be used while in melee, and it just doesn't feel right to not have at least 1 melee attack. Please don't reply with "but you have Brawl." I mean specifically a melee attack that's in the style of the character's other powers.
  11. The rumor is that the developers are finally porting Energy Aura to Tankers.
  12. In its annual SEC report, Disney acknowledges that "we face risks relating to misalignment with public and consumer tastes and preferences for entertainment, travel and consumer products." AND "Further, consumers’ perceptions of our position on matters of public interest, including our efforts to achieve certain of our environmental and social goals, often differ widely and present risks to our reputation and brands." https://thehill.com/opinion/finance/4326247-happy-birthday-adam-smith-the-invisible-hand-just-slapped-disney/ "Disney has reportedly lost a billion dollars just on four of its recent “woke” movie flops, productions denounced by critics as pushing political agendas or storylines."
  13. And Star Trek: Infinite is on sale for just $19.49 https://store.steampowered.com/app/1622900/Star_Trek_Infinite/
  14. Yes, but there's also rules to it, this makes it a formalized system. In English I can say "Company that provides legal insurance." (like malpractice insurance for example) In German I can say "Rechtsschutzversicherungsgesellschaften." (Legal-defense-insurance-corporation) One single word.
  15. I am so dumb sometimes. 😟
  16. It doesn't really work that way. Here's just one example: Schadenfreude. Taking a gloating satisfaction in the misery and/or pain of others. English doesn't have a word for this. Most languages don't have a word for this. German does. Inuit doesn't have words for submarine or airplane, or sand, but they have a bunch of different words for snow. It's quite common that languages don't have a word for everything. German has a formalized system that allows one to make new words. So German either already has a word for something or you can make a new word with that system and everyone will automatically understand what that word means.
  17. Yikes! Even with my rusty German I can spot a few problems with this. I mean, I understand what you're trying to say, but there's a reason that Google translate is still considered beta. And from what I understand, both Japanese and Mandarin, are more complex than German. I know, I find it hard to believe too, but I've been assured repeatedly, by people who speak those languages, that it is in fact the case.
  18. If you think cases are bad, you're gonna love Trennbare Verben. 😁
  19. Hey, whatever happened to the other Plan Z game that Golden Girl was trying to build? Is that still being worked on?
  20. Mark Twain had something to say about German, and I believe that he's completely correct.
  21. Duke Nukem Forever was eventually released though. Soooo... it at least has that over Phoenix Project.
  22. There's some debate as to whether or not it's "superhero fatigue" or people just not wanting to watch what they believe will be a garbage movie.
  23. I'll just leave this here. https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2023/11/20/like-it-or-not-the-marvels-has-now-bombed-in-every-way-possible/
  24. The Marvels is not doing well in the box office.
  25. Fair enough, but the box office numbers show that people will still go to the theaters to see movies that are good. Either way, I maintain that the reason that The Marvels hasn't done well isn't because of super hero movie fatigue, or streaming services, it's because a lot of people didn't think that the movie would be any good.
