Why is the Sister Psyche Task Force not part of the weekly spotlighted task force list? The seemingly obvious answer is that it is now an ouroboros task force, but is that really the only reason and is it truly sufficient? We do get a badge for it, after all, so why not put it in purple-clad rotation?

You swing your sword at where you think Greycat is, but you miss. Perhaps you should illuminate the area before attacking. You are holding a sword while standing in the dark. You are in danger of being eaten by a grue. >

This one kind of straddle s Suggestion and General categories. I wasn't sure which to post into. Is there any way possible to access one's Add/Edit notes when reviewing the Global Ignore list? If not, and its doable, which I assume means the ignored need not be online for the Add/Edit note function to work, I'd like to suggest they be connected. Here's the back story: weeks back, I ran a team, putting out invitations. Filled the team ran whatever it was we'd signed up for, and ended. Next thing to happen was that I get a private text from a player who was not on the team asking why I have them on my global ignore list. He/She clarified by stating they were using their secondary account to bypass the global ignore to speak with me. First off, that's incredibly bad form. I didn't report them, but was really annoyed, and a little unnerved that someone would make a point of hunting me down with their second account, and wait around to pin me down after we completed our team task. Obviously, I could have ignored the second account, too, but I've no idea how many accounts they have. Second, I'd not ignored someone in quite some time and had no remembrance of why. I asked for the global name believed to be ignored and it was on my list. However, I couldn't access any of my notes to figure out why I'd done that. While I find their confrontation via a second account to be really abusive, I do believe in being fair, and lacking the tool I needed to figure out the "why", I opted to remove the name from global ignore. I've not had any contact since, at least nothing confrontational or even identifying that individual, and I've found no reason to put any name on ignore since then. That said, I've still got a few names on there and no tool to recall why.

How did they manage to parody the name of a Tarantino Film years before 2015? 🤔

Tough call, but possibly my illusion/storm controller is my "favorite". I've said it before, but he's a regular Swiss Army Knife: a good response for every situation.

I'll add a note to say that Microsoft Edge updated overnight and now it is not displaying the forums, where it was last night. Avast web app is not on Edge as I almost never use that browser. I checked for the app and none were there. So I'm wondering if Avast is sneaky or if Edge is just parroting them. I've lived at peace with Avast for 13 years, but blocking one of my 20-25 most accessed websites on a false positive, especially without recourse to correct it, is a breaker. Guess it is time to find a 2021 successor.

I knew Malwarebytes was doing this, but was unaware Avast was. Started having the same problem. Checked the forums, went to dinner in town, came back and found the forums flagged as a phishing site. Firefox and Chrome both fighting it (actually Avast) and had to enter via Edge (shudder). Wondering why this just started, as I've had the same setup for years without issue. My big concern was that something is/was happening to Homecoming like what happened to one of the other emulators.

I've long puzzled over this: super jump powers injure. Why is that? To the best of my recollection there is no other super travel power that does so. It seems weird to penalize players who take this, without penalizing the others in some way. I realize the injury is usually minor and quickly repaired, but in a near-death escape it could mean the difference between survival or not. I don't recall any character, villain or hero, in the mainstream comics who utilizes these abilities but with injury.

I'm going to drop this in here. I was surprised how detailed their analysis of the first episode was, and I feel it enriched my viewing experience, even tipping me off to a few possibilities to watch for as the series progresses. Be aware that this may contain spoilers of future works, though of course it is currently speculative:

The idea of an overarching Time Authority is not unique to Umbrella Academy. For example: Star Trek: Voyager did it about 20 years before Umbrella Academy was filmed (though admittedly I don't know when the source comic book for U.A. was released.) As to having period equipment in high tech settings, there's Firefly and Battlestar: Galactic right off the top of my head. Doctor Who has done it often as well.

NERF Name letter slot limitations! Ah, but "BlandBasicCostumeMan" does fit. 😜

They should hold that as a costume/backstory contest theme.

The First Muppet Avenger

Good call.

I wonder if the asymetrical costume components couldn't make a second costume on this character interesting to it's name and theme.

Dumb question, I realize, but he didn't temporarily migrate to page 2 of your slot listings perchance?

I would add...

Does "cat sat on the keyboard" work?

I'm just starting it, and the first thing I notice is ... LATER: Just finished. Earlier comments suggesting this could be like a Doctor Who story from the Master's perspective are spot on. In fact, based solely on the first episode, I'm kind of sad Stephen Moffat didn't write this as a Missy storyline. I don't think I'm spoiling anything to say that, typical to MCU Disney + shows so far, there's a few really big twists in the episode. Also one casting surprise: Famous voice actress Tara Strong has an unusual role. Owen Wilson did not disappoint. I really liked his performance.

I do keep Himalayan salt lamps in my house. 😉

Does anyone know where from where MMO Populations pulls its estimate? Is it from Homecoming, or the sum of all public COH emulators? I'd never previously seen the website, and was surprised to find a COH listing. I was even more surprised to see it ranked as #39 of all MMOs tracked. https://mmo-population.com/r/Cityofheroes

I totally see WWI Blackadder as Tony Stark. 👍 Muppets cast: bad but inspired in the roles? Sam the American Eagle as, what else?...Captain America (Steve Rogers version) Gonzo as Ironthingy, er, Ironman. Which makes Camilla Chicken as Pepper Pots Miss Piggy as Scarlet Witch, which makes Kermit as Vision, and Link Hogthrob as Quicksilver Janice as Black Widow Animal as Hulk, Benson Honeydew as Bruce Banner Skeeter as Hawkeye Fozzie Bear as Antman Rowlf the Dog as Black Panther Pepe the King Prawn as Thor, okay? Rizzo the Rat as Falcon Beaker as Winter Soldier Crazy Harry as Loki Sweetums as Nick Fury

In answer to a few standard questions and pointing out some new things... Excelsior is the most populated server. Everlasting is the role-playing server Reunion is the European server The others are the...well, hmm...the servers for those who like it quieter or less populated I suppose. That by no means implies barren. I'm sure members of those servers will be happy to extol their virtues. 😊 Homecoming is not static to 2012. You'll do yourself a big favor taking the time to read "Issue" and "Page" notes. Right off the bat I'll point out that travel arrangements took a very different turn recently (which I personally find to be very nice), but you'll definitely want to read up on those. Also make sure to collect all the Atlas Park exploration badges ASAP, as that unlocks a key component to the new travel arrangement. Some travel changes are within the 3rd column powers themselves, including new groupings, so definitely take the time to acquaint yourself with them. Enhancements have also undergone major changes. Single Origin enhancements can now be acquired much earlier, and the new Upgrade button in the manage enhancements screen allows upgrading them to the max your level permits, assuming you have the cash to do it. I've found this works better than crafted enhancements right up to level 38. There's a new zone useful for big gatherings like costume contests, and well...read the Issue and Page notes. Oh, and have fun! PS - I think a few of the pen-and-paper players chime in down in the "real life" sections of the Homecoming forums, so you might want to have a look down there.

Remember ... remember: nothing is true, everything is allowed Or at least that's what the internet translator says it is.
