I am very impressed with Marvel's branching out with all kinds of characters.

Do redside contacts fit into themes? Like working with Arachnos or working against them?

Imagine you are making alts to level up to 50. You want to go through different content paths, no just doing all of the content in the game on a single character like a crazy person. So what rough paths (or put in all the specifics if you want) can you think of? Gold side has 4 paths: loyalist and traitor and gentle or mean versions of each. Redside has its contacts. Is there enough special story arc content to level separate from the standard contacts? Blue has: Old, old, old school leveling by street sweeping Old, old school Outbreak and using the original contacts. You could even do contacts by origin, for 5 different paths. Old school. Hollows, Faultline, Striga, Croatoa... Cimerora? New school. King's Row and the signature contacts, Who Will Die, etc. Not sure where first ward, night ward, and dark astoria fit in - goldside? And is the shadow shard its own path separate from FF and PI?

Welcome home

I found it tedious and dull. But I know Moon Knight, so to me this is just dragging out reveals of things I already know. My wife knows nothing of Moon Knight and enjoyed it. She liked trying to figure out what was going on.

I would avoid kinetics. I needs to hit for everything. A low accuracy is terrible for kinetics. I would go with stalker. Hide works without enhancements and can be their main defense. They have a power-up power that boosts accuracy and damage. So with assassin's strike you can take out a spawn the way stalkers were intended to work. I would take ninja blade for the -def on foes and the +def on self. Willpower for the +rec and rise to the challenge gives foes -def ---- Then I remembered VEATS. A widow or soldier using stealth, with multiple options to get +to hit with training.

I have been watching Beyond the Brick, a youtube channel which features fantastic Lego builds. This is an Arabian style castle and market town with fantastic vehicles mounted on creatures from elephants to dinosaurs.

Lots of players talk about how they want to feel like a superhero so they need to be even more overpowered. But they want to be overpowered at +4/x8. Because they really don't care about feeling powerful, they just want easy influence and XP. As you have shown, anyone can feel superpowered if they are just willing to turn the level of the enemies down. But that would mean less xp and influence.

Welcome back. As hard as it is to believe, it is back and feels the same as when it left. There are updates. Somewhere there is a list of changes. You have unlimited character slots for one. Bug fixes, new content, new powersets.

The big thing for me will be having clockwork and lower level foes not get knocked back by my knockdown powers. I will be able to use iceslick at low levels without having clockwork go flying.

I think we can all agree that dual pistols with finger guns would be the greatest improvement to the game since nerfing energy melee.

You can't. If you can do fine playing a character that wins simply kills things superfast then that is the best character choice. Why play a character that can also win but does so much slower because they use defenses?

We are keeping our Disney+ for now, although really we should cancel and then just watch every 6 months when they have 2 shows out to watch. We are canceling Netflix and going to subscribe to Apple TV. We need to start rotating our subscriptions to see just the stuff we really want instead of watching shows we half want to see because we already have the subscription. Hulu would be next to subscribe to.

Is sonic blast bad for someone? For defenders the -Res makes them do great damage with a few hits.

I don't dual build because I have 47 characters and just swap between them instead of builds. But I really should dual build. I only really like teaming, but I don't like sitting around waiting for teams. So I should have a solo build on my defenders and controllers as well as a team build. For instance I love thermal but the shields and heal ally do nothing when soloing. I could have a build with some extra attacks.

In the trailer she does something and flips upside down through the floor and is in a different place. I could see that being using the nega bands to travel to the negative zone.

New Rockstars goes over MCU stuff frame by frame. Their take is that it looks like she does stretch, she just also glows. So it may be stretching with extra sparkle.

Comcast has a few apple tv shows for free this week. So I can see the first season of Ted Lasso. I love it. My wife and I watched the first 6 episodes last night and she is making me wait to watch the rest with her. It's a heartwarming comedy about an American college coach hired to coach a UK football team. It turns out the owner wants him to fail. But he does not know that and is determined to succeed. But his idea of success is not winning but having a team of happy, well adjusted players. It's got some football in it, but is mostly behind the scenes in the office and the locker room. Although it has good variety, and some are at publicity events and other things.

The law says a state can choose not to go to DST but cannot choose to be on permanent DST. Allowing that requires a law being passed.

We'll have to see it. Ever since Barbie and the Island Princess my daughter loves red pandas. And Pixar movies are often as good as the Barbie movies, so it's worth a watch.

People in Washington don't want to get rid of DST. We want it permanently. DST is the time during summer when it stays lighter later. We hate standard time in winter when it is dark before we leave work.

The general assumption is that Mr. Fantastic will be in the MCU soon and they didn't want two characters with the same stretching powers. And the inhumans and terrigen mist is not a thing in the MCU. Just in AoS. So tying her to Captain Marvel with Kree technology probably fits better in the MCU. The whole thing made me think off Never Have I Ever, a funny Netflix show about an Indian girl in high school in the U.S. (I know Kamala is from Pakistan). In NHIE she has a cousin named Kamala. My daughter loves Kamala so she will probably love the show. It looks entertaining enough. Clearly Marvel is pushing for young female superheroes as hard in the MCU as they have been in the comics. That may help expand their market. They don't need to be bigger, but its Disney so they can always get bigger.

I didn't know anyone else knew Lovejoy existed. We did a rewatch this past year, we need to get the last season from the library to complete it. A fun show. So different from anything else I've seen. Tink is a fantastic character.

Never heard of it. It must not match my interests in their rec engine.
