God I miss the old UseNet... <feeling very old>...
*nods* Made a lot of friends on Usenet (esp the s.s.* hierarchy) back in the day. Still friends with many on FB, Twix, etc...-

The experience you get there really is 100% dependent on the community and mods of each particular subreddit. I've always had the best luck with subreddits for narrow topics
Indeed. r/bookbinding and r/icecreamery are both pretty laid back and helpful. It's fun to hang out in r/whatanime and help ID anime people are looking for. It's *amazing* to hang out in r/whereisthis and watch people help find locations from the tiniest damm clues. (I once found a location for someone because I'm a railfan and recognized the unusual model of locomotive pulling an excursion train.) Etc... etc...
Yeah, there's subs that are cesspits - but they're not the whole of Reddit. Not by a long shot.-

I both agree and disagree... There's certainly some very awful communities on Reddit, but there's also a large number of useful and interesting ones.

The other thing I noticed is that they never reciprocate. Have to admire their tact.
Unlike other servers, HC has no official presence on r/cityofheroes. The haters and the mods rather inconsistent enforcement of the "no server drama" rule as well as general reddiquette are why.-

I propose that the individual using that channel has their font tinted to either red or blue depending on alignment.
There are no fewer than five alignments in the game (more depending on how granular you want to be Goldside).

One of the things everyone has to do when they join a new community is learn to sling the lingo. And saving them from learning this one teeny bit isn't actually all that useful. -

The basic physics are already in place, I'm sure.
Sure, the ability to go underwater was introduced in whatever Issue Cimerora was introduced. The problem is likely that every single body of water in the game would have to be entirely redone (as the underwater landscape almost certainly doesn't exist) in order to enable this functionality globally.-

Consignment House
- User interface for the consignment house / black market updated to be better about refreshing item status and history without having to resort to tricks to force things to load.
The increased speed is noticeable and appreciated. The appearance of "No History Found" is greatly reduced, but not eliminated.
I did not encounter the lag spike noted by @strix_.-

The current limit of 1025 characters, I think, is enough for a gist of who the character is
Which is exactly the point of the bio window, a quick introduction and summary of your character. It's not intended for short stories, let alone novels.-

Skyway, but no dice on spawning the Kronos in Talos.
There were two Kronos just outside the tram station on Talos/Excelsior last night... -

Truthfully, I've never seen the movie (and now I'm disinclined to look) so I have no idea what you're talking about... 🙂
I do have a song stuck in my head, but it's this one:

Or "X Council in Steel Canyon"
Hunting Council in Steel has been an exercise in extreme frustration ever since the return of the 5th Column... as spawns of 5th replaced practically every spawn of Council.-

You bring up a good point no one makes comments about a costume, a power color combo, or your bios anymore like they did on live
I do. And I got two different unsolicited compliments on the toon I'm currently playing.-

Three of my favorites...
Snow Belle Ice/Ice blaster (Inspired by a character I PUGed with - Snow Bell, an Ice/Sonic blaster.)QuoteAmanda Snow always loved winter... And as she grew older, she found that not only did cold not bother her, she thrived in it. Ice, snow, hail - they became her toys.
The day the bullies attacked her younger sister, she found her toys could also be weapons.
Miss Mechanism Bots/FF Mastermind (Inspired by a story I saw one day about a girl with a paralyzed arm who'd built a robotic one for a high school science project and planned to go into robotics research.)QuoteFirst I built my arm, now I'm building my army. Soon, I'll bring justice to the City.
Shirudo Momoji Fire/Shield Tank (Her powerset was inspired by an anime character, her bio comes in part from a different anime character. Her look, bio, and name took the most research and time I ever put into a character.)
QuoteAs a young girl, Yuuki was entranced by super sentai programs. She regularly prayed for super powers - but was always disappointed.
In college, she studied physics and engineering. If she couldn't become a superhero herself, she'd support them by developing equipment for them. Her senior year, she received two visitors. The first, a kami of fire, granted her wish and the ability to control fire. The second, a mysterious Colonel from the JGSDF recruited her into a secret super soldier program - and gave her a high tech shield.
As Shirudo Momoji, Yuuki has become what she always wished for. A defender of the weak. A warrior of justice. A friend of peace.
A superhero.-

The power tray timer defaults to shown for powers with an estimated recharge of longer than 5 seconds. This can be changed in the options menu, or a custom value may be set using the /recharge_timer_threshold command.
I just tested this and combined with animations on (for powers not displaying a timer) it's a thing of absolute beauty. @Number Six, or whoever added this option, if you're ever out in the Seattle area... I'll buy you a beer. (Or a latte, or a bubble tea, or whatever reasonably priced beverage warms your heart.)-

I think (thought) he was just snarking me, but I do forget sigs don't show up for Gen X.
They show up on my desktop, but this Gen Jones took a while to find it because we're used to people putting content and links in the message body, not the sig.

I'm still [theoretically] one of the moderators of a Usenet group... But we (the moderator team) gave up over a decade ago as there were hundreds of spam and troll posts for every legitimate post.
