The Fantastic Four: First Steps
Luminara replied to Glacier Peak's topic in Comic, Hero & Villain Culture
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. -

How To Train Your Dragon - Live action

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.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps
Luminara replied to Glacier Peak's topic in Comic, Hero & Villain Culture
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 Fantastic Four: First Steps

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 Fantastic Four: First Steps
Luminara replied to Glacier Peak's topic in Comic, Hero & Villain Culture
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.

Can we get only enhancements we can use?
Luminara replied to angar 100's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Already in the game. Enemy groups have Origins and drop enhancements appropriate for their Origins. If you want Natural enhancements, fight enemies like Council or Warriors. If you want Magic enhancements, fight Circle of Thorns. Et cetera. -
Heh. Bra lonely. Heh.

No-one in the history of the game has "suffered" due to NPCs sharing the same streak breaker rules with player characters. If anything, we've benefitted from it far beyond the intended design. The streak breaker is what makes soft-capped Defense so strong, because the same "You have to miss 100 times before I'll give you a free hit" rule that applies when our hit rolls are floored is applied to NPCs, and it's exceedingly rare for anything to survive long enough to make 100 hit rolls. There are ways in which the streak breaker doesn't work well. Mixing AoEs/PBAoEs/cones with single-target attacks causes arbitrary misses via the streak breaker forcing hits on targets other than the target which the player is attacking (very few things send me on a tear like missing a target repeatedly because my PBAoE toggle keeps applying an auto-hit on something else in the aura). The new Sleep auto-hit screws up hit checks (when the previous attack missed, that auto-hit Sleep cancels the streak breaker's check). The streak breaker isn't flawless. But NPCs using the streak breaker? Not even remotely problematic.

Officially, April 28, 2004. But the streak breaker was created during the beta, so it's been around even longer than the ~15 cumulative years of the game's operational lifetime. Tell us you don't know how the streak breaker works without telling us you don't know how the streak breaker works. Yup, that'll do.

I lived in Florida for five years, so there's a chance I'd do it.

Yeah... that... wasn't the point. I'm not trying to re-enact the colonization of the North America. My primitive brain just took over for a minute and I had no witnesses to how foolish it made me look, so I decided to publicize it here. And while I appreciate the effort, I don't think a glam rock concert and noxious substances would have been of any benefit if they had been here as portents of my demise.

Origin powers were added between Issue 6 and 7, five years before the Paragon Market existed, and they were never granted as Veteran Rewards at any time. https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Patch_Notes/2006-01-17 https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Origin_Powers https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Veteran_Rewards_Program
