Did they watch The Peacekeeper Wars after finishing the show? Because it does help.

Same in Oregon.

I imagine Alaska being red is more about dying from the cold than the law.

It’s a 3e base, but very simplified. It’s more like 5e with extra feats and the old fortitude/reflex/will save system added on.

When they do the reveal there’s a cinematic that shows all the unavoidable foreshadowing that you didn’t notice. It goes on for a full two minutes and is only a fraction of all the foreshadowing to that point since so much is in optional dialogue. Took me completely by surprise the first time and for years I would find another bit of foreshadowing tucked away in areas of dialogue trees I hadn’t gone down before each time I played.

Cheap to duplicate is great for them. That means larger profit margins.

Like Bruce in Batman Beyond. Typically he was on comms helping Terry be Batman, but it was always memorable when he went into the field.

I’d point out that ‘an observation event’ is just hitting one thing with another thing, which is always going to have some kind of effect. And wave-particle duality is probably more of a spectrum than we give it credit for. Particles vibrate constantly and can be easily made to do wave-like things, like resonance. Collapsing a waveform into a particle may be less of a mode or type change and more like putting your finger on a resonating tuning fork.

Yes. The pupils were generally only visible in the pre-rendered videos.

He actually did that. Part of the reason Miles Morales was created is that Peter had started a business and actually started making money, which made him less of an everyman.

Hmm, still not working for me. 8, 9, Experimental, and Hotfix all fail to run the game.

Edit: Actually, looks like I might have a different problem. Proton seems to be failing to launch anything at all.

Edit 2: Looks like something went wrong with the way Proton interacts with NTFS drives. Moving the install back to the primary ext4 drive fixed it. Removing the compatdata folders on the NTFS volume and replacing it with a symlink to the primary compatdata folder also fixes it. Weird, because this is the first time I’ve encountered this issue, but it’s apparently fairly common.

Who is Angelica?

Anyone else having issues getting it to run?

The first and third for sure, don’t think the second will be a significant factor.

He’s an unaltered clone, just a younger duplicate of Jango.

Cowboy Bebop and the Ghost in the Shell movies are great places to start.

Anyway, it’s not so much a change in what’s being produced as what’s being imported to the US. There was a good mix of shonen and seinen at first, but shonen sells more merch so we get a lot of it now. Just watch stuff tagged as seinen if you want more mature themes or more sex and gore.

Gotham’s government is also roughly 97% organized crime families, so throwing money at the problem only goes so far.

This has been a problem for far, far, longer than you think. The silver age definitely had it, the golden age probably did, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it cropped up in the proto-superhero stories, like Zorro. It’s a consequence of having a long-form story where the narrative’s status quo isn’t allowed to meaningfully change and characters either aren’t allowed to die or aren’t allowed to stay dead. Recurring antagonists also can have much richer characterization and more complex relationships with the protagonists, which makes writing stories about them more appealing the more often they appear.

The usual trajectory for a new superhero or new incarnation of an existing superhero is to start off with street-level problems, then get a nemesis that has strong ties to those street level problems, then have the dynamic between the two grow in prominence to eclipse all other parts of the plot. The Joker, for instance, always starts off as either a mob boss with a gimmick or a serial killer with a gimmick, not far removed from the mundane crime Batman always starts with, but always winds up with a fixation on Batman and spawns stories designed as some commentary on Batman’s no-killing rule. Again and again and again, dozens of times over the decades.

Why? Because the dynamic between the two characters tends to be fascinating and results in audience engagement.

To be fair, I don’t think the penguins recognize anyone’s sovereignty.

In particular, it’s a very East Coast thing. While we have the mom-and-pop pizzerias on the West Coast, there aren’t styles of pizza named for West Coast cities and we just don’t have that pizza rivalry that the other coast has. There’s California-style pizza, but that’s named for a state rather than a city, and as soon as you leave California it’s easier to find almost any other kind of pizza.
