Let's hope Homelander ends up like Captain Amazing!

I don't like Cheetos, but another favorite sandwich is peanut butter and extra sharp white cheddar. This one might be improved by being on sourdough bread, depending on the sourness. And yes, apples and cheddar are a magical combination. Easier to make than crabmeat and cheddar casserole, another amazing pairing. Chocolate meringue pie goes well with kosher dill pickles. You alternate, and the sweetness of that first bite never goes away.

Kinda crazy that the good Stamina procs go in Health and the good Health procs go in stamina. But that's par for the course.

If you go into Control Panel:Network and Internet:Network Connections: And you select your wifi adapter and choose "Properties" you should see a window that says, "This connection uses the following items." Below that should be a list of protocols. If you uncheck everything except "Internet Protocol version 4" and reboot, you may find that your wifi connection works a bit better. Winders 10 has a LOT of overhead, and unless you actually use things like File & Printer sharing or Client for Microsoft Networks (which you shouldn't unless you need to; they are famously insecure) you should see an improvement. Also, something like O&O Shutup 10 can help by reducing the amount of spying data marketing monetization telemetry being sent to the MotherShip. If, on the other hand, you break something: Good news! You get to keep all the pieces! That said, an ethernet connection is always preferable to a wifi connection.* I strip the protocols off and use a wire. YMMV. Good luck!

Protocol translations eat up the advantages and more. Plus, ethernet has better congestion handling. Doctor Ditko.pdf

Still hoping for a "Lock my trays, DAMMIT!" command. I'm forever accidentally clicking the little arrows mid-fight and finding out my travel tray has seized the position of my combat tray.* Perils of being a clicker. * To be fair, once I am resting comfortably on the carpet I have plenty of time to fix this.

I like sliced bananas in mine. With damson preserves and Jif peanut butter. One of the few sandwiches not made better by sourdough bread.

I believe Defense always goes first. So if you don't get hit, you don't get... hit. Sorry, I was going to be eloquenter with that. Oh, well.

But... Adam West Spider-man just wouldn't work at all!

Which is why you stand behind the bad guys for +4 and double damage!

Honestly, it probably has more to do with merging divergent source trees and reconciling changes than anything else. It takes orders of magnitude more effort to reconcile the changes from plural development teams.

How about a more focused look at under-performing sets? Just patch the worst offenders in unpopular sets with a better alternative. (I'm looking at you, Time Bomb!) Much less work than trying to rebalance an entire powerset, but it could make a lot of people happy to hit the lowest-hanging, most rotten fruit.

Well said! Though to me, TFT>GURPS; it's the elegance.

Erm, if people substitute words, you're not to blame. "I solemnly swear to tell the *****, the whole *****, and nothing but the *****, so help me ***!" Go in good conscience, it's not you with the problem, it's those *****.

Uh, "WoW!" That sounds like an awful lot of work. Thanks for the explanation. I can see why my WoW-addicted friends don't get the same endorphin rush from CoH. For me, I think I'm where I belong.

It makes a nice auto-fire choice when ghost-hunting. The ones that charge right up and get in your face get an axe in theirs.

DCUO, despite having plusses like Kevin Conroy's voice (he is the One True Batman after all), couldn't hold my interest either. It felt an awful lot like being at one of those slick amusement parks where every step is cleverly designed to fleece you of more money. I always thought Champions was the best designed and executed tabletop Superhero RPG, all I ever wanted was computer assistance for all the die-rolling and bookkeeping. I was very disappointed in the MMO version, they seemed to have lost the good parts from the p&p game and not replaced it with anything worthwhile. For all its flaws, CoH seemed to get the spirit of Superheroes right more than any of its rivals. From mission one you feel Super. Not like Superman, but definitely more like a comic book hero than your average basement-rat-killing FRPG newb does an epic fantasy hero.

For a guy who comes across as a party animal, Drew's Super-Powered series is both well thought out and surprisingly serious in places. Memorable characters, a believable interface between the real and comic-esque worlds, good characters and clever twists, plausible bad guys, just good stuff all 'round. Have a look (the Kindle first hit is free, kids!) https://smile.amazon.com/s?k=drew+hayes+super-powereds&ref=nb_sb_noss_2

I'll never play WoW, can you elaborate?

Weeeellll, for one thing, most of us are a decade older! It's certainly turned my Superleap into Combat Jumping!

I read that as "Fairly Psychic Rose." lol! Made me think of the 9th Doctor.

"Lettuce that wilts, shall be the cole of the slaw!"

OK, that's what I thought. Thanks! I hate giving wrong information!

But if they also install the mod, won't they see his lightsaber as he does? Or is it only for the wielder?

Having played an old-style Willpower Tank to 50 (pre fixed Taunt Aura), I concur that Taunt is the essential Tank trait. Gauntlet is very welcome, but you need the Taunt to be the Tank. And, BTW, Welcome Home!
