If they don't have a "Schrödinger's Cap" joke in this movie, I'll go ballistic.

Switch back to Hero or Villain (it only pops up for Vigilantes and Rogues), or use another method of transit (LRT, Ouroboros portal, mission transporter, etc.).

I think plate spinning would be more interesting than balancing. You can hit things with spinning plates and cut them. Plate spinning is like, totally melee balancing plus.

I can find out. I'll need a private jet, a particle accelerator and sixteen heads of broccoli. I'll start rounding up the cats right now.

Oh, you want dialogue. And here I was thinking this attempt to play rules lawyer was a petulant response to being slapped on the wrist by a GM, as indicated by the thread you started yesterday, which was subsequently locked for... violating the code of conduct. Again. Okay, well, from a dialogue perspective, your suggestion is inane. The user agreement, terms of service and code of conduct are applicable to players. Players, not NPCs. NPCs have no brains, no free will, no self-determination, no ability to accept or decline and no choice but to do what they're scripted to do and throw the text written for them onto the screen. They're no more obligated to adhere to the same moral or ethical guidelines that a player does than a bush, or a building, or a rock, or the Talos Island ferry would be. They are not alive, they are not capable of adapting, they are not in need of constant attention from a team of GMs to prevent them from doing things like filling chat windows with racist comments or sending /tells of a sexual nature to unwilling recipients. Players require a code of conduct and enforcement of that code because players have the wherewithal to behave in any manner they choose. Villainous NPCs were written to be villainous. Not mildly off-putting. Not slightly unethical. Not faintly untrustworthy. Not quirky or socially awkward or simply in need of a good lecture. VILLAINOUS. We're not pummeling them into unconsciousness for minor mistakes on their 1040's or jaywalking, we're doing it because they're villainous. They're the bad guys, they say and do bad things. They bomb buildings. They take, and sometimes execute, hostages. They engage in illegal genetic alteration. They steal, lie, kill, and worse, and that's why we play and are given license to beat them to a pulp. Expecting villainous NPCs to be written according to the standards to which players are held would result in all villainous NPCs being removed from the game, as well as the entirety of City of Villains, because all of that material is outside of the boundaries of acceptable player activity and behavior. No bank heists to foil, or engage in. No terrorist plots to dismantle, or conduct. No Nemesis, no Rikti, no Hellions, no bad guys, no game. Everything villainous NPCs do violates the basic expectation of player behavior and would result in excision from the game, and the entire half of the game predicated on being a villain. All that would be left would be Barbie Dress Up With Extra Flashy Lights. You have the option to avoid content which you find objectionable. If you don't like the way an NPC is written, don't click on that NPC. If you don't like an action an NPC is asking you to undertake, don't do it. If you don't want to beat up Nazis, or take down drug dealers, or put the kibosh on the plans of soul-stealing asshats trying to summon a demon, you don't have to. You can choose not to engage with any content in the game, and that choice exists because it allows people who don't like things to avoid them, rather than requiring the game to be redesigned to fit fifty thousand different moral codes and ethical belief systems which are constantly shifting over time and with political tides. The very notion that the game should be redesigned in the way you've asked is backwards, short-sighted, destructive, and, honestly, selfish. It kills the game. Period. Regardless of your motivation or intention, it's still the worst possible direction that the game could take because it inevitably leads to its death. It places egregious restrictions on the people who write for the game, disallowing any semblance of the behaviors, actions or even thoughts which make villainous NPCs villainous, and deprives players of any NPCs with which to interact in the spirit and nature of the game (i.e. issue a beatdown). So there's your dialogue. It's an abysmal idea and even attempting to peddle it was a mistake. And then trying to justify it by bring up real-world political hot buttons to shame people into agreeing with you so they didn't look callous, and using that psychologically manipulative bullshit as a cover for lashing out because your ego got a boo-boo, you go and act like the very kind of NPC you're campaigning against the game having. You've essentially asked to have yourself written out of Co*. Well fucking done. Oh, no, sweet cheeks, you're in it with me. I live in this mud, you're just something I happened to notice wiggling in it.

This dude gettin' pissy because there are bad guys saying and doing bad things in a comic book superhero game which focuses on beating the shit out of bad guys for saying and doing bad things. On the forums, when he could be beating the shit out of the bad guys saying and doing bad things. Someone get my roflcopter, we goin' on a riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide.

They didn't fold Victory in to give players another server, they did it to bring another valuable and worthwhile person into the HC team. Victory was just a bonus that came with her. It's not always about us, folks.

That's what every cloud says.

noun: fling; plural noun: flings a short period of enjoyment or wild behavior. "one final fling before a tranquil retirement" a short, spontaneous sexual relationship. "I had a fling with someone when I was at college"

No, we understand. We just don't give a fuck. If you kids want to climb the mountain, go for it. We've been there and done that, and we're not interested in doing it again. We'll relax right here, on our lawn.

BRB, chasing booty. Oh. Bounty. Never mind, then.

It is separate. The streak breaker is not shared between any two sources. It doesn't have to be tested or verified because pets and pseudo-pets would skew the streak breaker by an enormous amount, and we have a large body of evidence to indicating that it doesn't occur simply by noting the absence of mass complaints about missing in the controller and dominator forums. There's no need to test NPCs separately, for the same reason. There hasn't been one report of missing twice in a row with 95% hit chances that wasn't attributable to other known causes. Ever. In the entire operational history of the game. ~15 years of empirical evidence has proven that there's no interaction between player character streak breaker forced hits and NPC streak breaker forced hits.

Vigilante. If the wiki needs to be beaten into a coma, call me.

Lunch Cat is working, and doing a fantastic job.

How is pointing out that announcing his given name to everyone would make it incredibly easy for anyone to dig up all of the information they need "twisting logic"? You're acting like basic investigative techniques don't actually exi- Oh, shit, you're from the Snyderverse. I never argued against that point. What I said was that having one of the characters announcing his given name in public shattered the suspension of disbelief. You're the one spazzing out over it, not me.

Check your firewall.

Still nope.

You guys talk to people? ... Weirdos.

"There are evidences that suggest" "Evidence" isn't properly used that way. It can be pluralized, but it really shouldn't, because, as an uncountable noun, it inherently expresses plurality. "There is evidence implying" would be much more appropriate. "that this being could be once the man" And that's just grammatically horrific. Someone fix that shit before I blow a gasket.

There's a marked difference between "He's a tall, dark-haired, Caucasian guy", and "He's a tall, dark-haired, Caucasian guy who Lois Lane referred to as 'Clark'". Presuming Metropolis has a population of ~8.5 million, the former describes several hundred thousand men in the city of Metropolis alone, and tens of millions across the United States. The latter narrows the list down to fewer than 65,000 in the entire nation, only a few dozen within Metropolis, and likely fewer than five associated with Lois through family, friends and co-workers. The police officer who was standing next to Lois when she started shouting "CLARK! CLARK!" could've had his full name, home address, place of business, everything, within minutes after a simple NCIC search. Lois revealing his first name was akin to Alfred running after Batman in the middle of a crowded street, yelling, "Master Wayne, Master Wayne, you forgot your Bat Shark Repellent!"

The worst part of Snyder's LL wasn't the casting, it was the writing. Not saying that Eisenberg wasn't horribly miscast, but taking Superman's arch-nemesis and turning him into a petulant, yammering idiot, that was too much to swallow. What hurt even more was Luthor somehow uncovering the identities of both Batman and Superman, and instead of reporting them to every government, news agency and criminal group on the planet, which would've resulted in Wayne being financially ruined and actually living in a cave instead of just working out of one, and Superman having to take his mom and hide in the most remote location he could find... dude tries to make them beat each other up. And while I'm angry, why the FUCK did they have Lois shouting "Clark!" when Supes was resurrected? COME THE FUCK ON! She's yelling his name in front of people, it's not going to take much dot connecting for anyone to figure out that the 6'1", dark-haired superhero named Clark is the 6'1" dark-haired reporter Clark Kent. Oh, no, wait, that's right, no-one in the Snyderverse has more than two motherfucking brain cells, which is why LL's attempt to frame Superman by shooting people was supposed to be believable. If I ever meet the jackasses who wrote that shit, I'm going to smack their heads with a pile of forensic science books. Okay, I feel better. Lunch?

The last Reed Richards was ripped apart when he tried to stretchy-grab Scarlet Witch (second Doctor Strange film), so "world's smartest man" might not be the most applicable title. Probably okay if he doesn't look super-nerdy.

According to... my assistants, who totally aren't cats, scent-marking the screen will significantly increase the speed of processing. Uh... with your face. Scent-marking with your face, not the other way. Lower that leg. Lower it. I'll get the spray bottle, so help me.
