Most super heroes there isn't a lot of imagination involved. Superman is basically perfect.
A lot of Superman's powers came later. Originally, he was just strong and bullet proof (no flying, no heat or x-ray vision, no super speed).

Barry did admit to one crime: felony forgery for using Suzannes ballot to vote for Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election. I wanted Trump to win, he said, adding, I figured all these other guys were cheatin.

Your average Trump voter, I imagine.

The first one looked really good also. Couldn't deal with the combat though. Way too much button mashing that made my fingers tired.
I just started playing through the first one the other day and I feel this. The game really tires my hands out, I had to take a break from it.

Not a fly, at least I don't think, but I did swallow some bug that flew into my mouth while I was bike riding a couple years ago. It was a decent size as I felt it going down my throat. The weird thing is it had a sour taste, like a sour candy so it didn't really taste bad.

Catwoman started off wearing a domino mask before black cat even existed.

She wore an actual cat head mask when she started (not even a joke, like a freaking cat head). The only domino style ones I can think of off the top of my head were in the 60s Adam West series. In the comics, she usually wears an all face mask.

Hes the commander in chief. Whatever happens, its his responsibility. I would say the same for any president sitting in that chair. Own the issue and dont deflect.
That's an incredibly simplistic take on the US presidency. He doesn't control the SC, for example. There's nothing he can do if the previous admin put a conservative majority there (two of whom I would say are not even qualified for their positions).

Life was definitely better for the average Joe when Trump was president, with huge tax cuts, lower cost of goods, lower gas prices, and better stability in the world, even with a global pandemic to boot.

In contrast, under Bidens administration, wealth inequality grew, Roe vs Wade was overturned, inflation is crazy, two giant conflicts began (Israel/Palestine and Ukraine/Russia), and the biggest thing hes done is to forgive student loans to attempt to buy Gen Z/Millennial votes (which obviously isnt even working since these younger college kids hate Bidens stance on Israel and are destroying their own universities for some reason).

To be fair, most of those are not Biden's fault. Roe vs Wade was overturned because of the conservatives taking the majority in the SC, and that's thanks to the Trump admin.

The bread slicer death in Fear Street 1994. I feel like that one came out of nowhere and it was just brutal.

The jock guy in The Blob 1988 remake. When his girlfriend walks in on him reaching out while his whole body is melting away, that was a horrifying scene.

Theres no real diving. You basically just enable Steam Play in settings, then just use Steam like normal, and most games should just work. The main ones that dont are online games with some form of anti-cheat, as these often interpret being ran through DXVK / Proton as cheating.

The diving is installing like GloriousEggroll builds of Protom and switching to those to see if they give you better performance, but I think theres like a Proton Manager app or something to do that for you.
How about mods? Are they easy to install and manage? I love modding games on PC, so that would be a big one for me.

pazzy posted...
It sort of does, it creates situations where hefty situations can branch off based on cascading effects. Ie, what if Peter Parker didn't get bit by the spider? Because it was just random chance and the spider could have bitten anyone.

There is not time travel, you cannot go backwards, you can't go forwards, but you can possibly jump to different universes. It's a way where you can have some sort of smaller cascading effect but not have to rewrite the entire world, and it's a way to showcase how little any of our personal decisions truly matter overall.

The other ones just get kinda confusing.
Doesn't the third option cover that? You could just say that multiple timelines are identical up to a certain point where they differ because an event turned out differently.

The current shows like Discovery and Strange New Worlds are in the original timeline. Or at least, they line up more with the original.

Some elements of them were bad. But other things they got right. Like Garfield feels like a better Spider-Man than Toby Maguire. I would say Toby is a good Peter Parker and Andrew Garfield is a good Spider-Man. Also they are more comic accurate.
I think Andrew was a better Spider-Man and Peter Parker than Toby was. Toby Peter was more of a pushover. The AMS movies were more comic accurate to his character than the Raimi ones.
