Rain just started in Seattle, so I can't do long walks anymore. I am trying to do 10 minute basic exercise routines from youtube during my work breaks now that I work from home.

As a note, the lost cure does not break stealth for a stalker. So you can just take out the lost while safely hidden.

I also have a temporary power a contact gave me to use against clockwork. I don't think it is as impressive but I'm saving it for the Synapse TF.

The Lost AV in DFB can be cured by the lost curing wand from Montague.
The curing wand made dfb a lot easier, taking out a boss each spawn.

Just play on teams lvl 35 and below. The godmode players rarely play at those levels, so the difficulty can be turned up until people cannot solo it.
The best teams are still the teens in their teens. A Hollows, KR, or Faultline team is the best teaming in the game.

I prefer cooperative boardgames, coming from an RPG background where you work together.
Eldritch Horror is my favorite. Arkham Horror has more of an RPG feel, but Eldrtich Horror has better boardgame mechanics and is less frustrating.
Firefly amazingly captures the feel of the show and is a fun game.
Legendary is a fun deck building game with a marvel superhero theme.
Forbidden desert is a fast and fun cooperative game.

Robo Rally is great fun, but I don't own it
Arkham Horror I liked but have not played it since we got Eldritch Horror
Junta I played decades ago. It was entertaining.
King of Tokyo is fun. I like King of New York better with the added options for fighting the army and destroying buildings.
Pandemic I enjoyed for awhile but it became too mechanical for me. There is basically just a best way to play in my experience, so it became routine. But my wife loves it.
Settlers of Catan is fun but can be frustrating. I prefer Starfleet Catan which adds some character cards that reduce the frustration a lot. The same rules are also in some Settlers expansion, but I don't have that.
Betrayal on House on the Hill is fun. We own the Betrayal at Balder's Gate which is the D&D version of it. My daughter loves the games.

I've never done a TinPex.
I don't even know what one is, although I see it all the time in LFG.

I love ice because of ice patch being droppable outside of LoS. But electric gets static field which is similar, so over time I've basically abandoned ice control.
I skip shiver. If it did damage it would be great. Ice lacks a lot of damage. But it does not need another soft control.

wouldn't it be Grant Man and Spasm?

Not the hawkeye I knew and loved. I have no real interest in it. But my daughter wants to see a female hawkeye.

Before I bother watching this episode - does a hero fight another hero in it?

And then there are the sad-sack Underbosses, with no gravity powers at all. They're never gonna knock you up. They're never gonna hold you down. They're never gonna propel a forklit and invert you.
I call their knockback a Rikti roll.

People often complain that vahzilok are overpowered at low levels. They are not. You just have to know how to fight them, particularly prioritizing which to attack and cc. Experienced players know this and can defeat them without difficulty.
The cadavers are resistant to several types of cc but they are easy to knockback and more importantly to slow. They move slowly, so you can use your powers to keep them from reaching you. What works great against them are the various rains that do damage and slow. Also aoe knockbacks like storm has with its wind powers like gale. And stunning them works well.
Mortificators can rez the cadavers, even though the mortificators themselves are not as damaging. So kill mortificators first.
The reapers are weak. Basically ignore them and kill them last.
So to sum up, when fighting vahzilok: seasoned players don't fear the reapers. They use wind, stuns, and rains. You can be like they are.

This latest episode is all superheroes fighting each other. So I fast forwarded through most of it to see if there was any more to it. There didn't seem to be.
Worst episode so far for me. I basically only watched the first 8 minutes of it.

These should be played on Radio, the best contact ever.

I ready comics from the late 70's to the late 80's and have gone back and read most of the 60's comics using Marvel's online service. I don't know or care about comics from the 90's on. I've tried reading new comics and I cannot stand the pacing.
Marvel has already basically told the stories of the heroes from my era, and retired several of those characters. They have not done the x-men but the x-men have been done. And I love the Tobey McGuire spiderman but do not like the MCU spiderman - it doesn't feel like spiderman to me.
So I am looking forward to Guardians 3 and the next Thor, but that's kind of it. It's not that I'm burned out, it's that Marvel is moving on past what I care about.

It doesn't recapture that energy of the first Iron Man movie, but that might only be because we're a more jaded audience now, not through any fault of Shang-Chi itself.
I was very disappointed in the first Iron Man movie. What is there is great, but it lacks a good ending with a supervillain. Iron Monger just feels tacked on and it really feels like an origin story without a superhero story.
Iron Man 2 is my favorite of the Iron Man series.

Just your typical action/martial arts type movie, with just a splash of magic thrown in.
The ads just made it look like a typical fantasy martial arts movie, not an MCU movie. Does it have a superhero feel or is it really a martial arts movie?

I'm not talking an okay version that is watchable.
Out of all of the different shows there are good versions of The Avengers, Batman, Superman, Justice League, etc.
Did any of the versions of TMNT actually turn out to be good?

That would be a nerf since you couldn’t stack it anymore
It would be a nerf for those who stacked it. And a buff for those who do not.

For an actual suggestion - it could be made a toggle with a long (but shorter than now) recharge that applies after it is toggled off.
So you can keep triage beacon going as long as you want in place, but then have a 60 second recharge after you turn it off.

I'm not saying that the Avengers episode was unbelievable. I just want to see superheroes fight supervillains. We finally have superheroes with powers and costumes but they still hate to include supervillains in the movies.
Spidermans 1-3 and Iron Man 2 remain my favorite superhero movies because they are superheroes facing supervillains, which is shockingly rare in the superhero movies.
Are Porters in Sky Raiders interesting or just half baked?

Sorcerers teleport and heal and are annoying in a good way. The first Tsoo to target, but their teleporting makes them hard to take out.
After fight Tsoo my team fought sky raiders. The Porters teleport around but no one seems to care about them. They don't seem to do anything special except teleport.
Is there something I am missing with Porters? Is there a way to make there teleporting more meaningful?
