Hollow Link ParentWouldn't that be a benefit? Promoting supra-nationalism with figures that are both more than one member country where possible. But I agree birds > celebritiesWho will claim Marie Curie? France or Poland? Poland doesn't even use Euros.

Comment on Marvel’s ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ reportedly a “mess” in the edit after shooting without a finished script and packing in over sixty roles in ~movies
Hollow Link ParentAnd he would be...if Quantumania hadn't very explicitly shown that every single iteration of Kang are all played by Johnathan Majors and no-one else.Kang is probably the character that is easiest to recast with a very easy lore explanation.

I doubt it, I know people in a similar situation and the worst they got was genuinely terrible connections and upload speeds. It's unfortunately likely the server you joined had been reported for something and that affected all users, including you - I was in a Zootopia 18+ server once that got censured for CSAM and even though I rarely ever looked at it, I caught the 1 year limited account all the same.

Comment on Dbrand has cancelled their "Companion Cube" Steam Machine case, because they didn't ask Valve for permission in ~games

- Ask for permission;
- Licence for much money;
- Uncertain demand
Or move fast and break things:
- Put up preorder page;
- If there isn't any interest you've lost nothing;
- If there is interest and Valve doesn't notice then all is well;
- If they do, you already have preorder money to pay for licencing.

Comment on What's a game you're dying to play that doesn't exist? in ~games
Hollow LinkYou may know Hardspace: Shipbreaker, a space aim where you're a roughneck taking apart junked spaceships and have to be mindful of electrical systems, air, and safely dismantling nuclear reactors...You may know Hardspace: Shipbreaker, a space aim where you're a roughneck taking apart junked spaceships and have to be mindful of electrical systems, air, and safely dismantling nuclear reactors among others. I want a game that's the opposite.
A game set on a variety of hazardous situations - sinking ships, oil rigs on fire, natural disasters on the ground. Your job is to buy time by patching up the structure and mitigating the damage, evacuate the passengers / workers, and figure out what the hell happened to cause this before the whole thing goes up and evidence gets wiped out. There's no real antagonist besides the environment around you - fire, water, rubble, explosions - all doing its best to kill you and claim the lives of everyone inside. Idk I feel like this is where humanity and heroism shines.

This is so weird after RTD worked with a low budget in series 1, and was able to get around it by making half the episodes in the urban fantasy genre instead (Father's Day, Rose, World War 3) or in a different time period on earth with (The Unquiet Dead, The Empty Child) or in a future where the villains have excluded aliens (The Long Game, Bad Wolf). It felt like he let the bigger budget go to his head after series 4 (the one with Catherine Tate). -

Take D&D: Honour Among Thieves, with its light-hearted adventure that's still centred around character development and a conflict with clearly established high stakes, and dilute it with about one third of Marvel humour and an act in the real world, and that's what He-Man is.

I got 0.2 UPS down to only three days, big success.
I forgot about those! I remember The Cat that Walked, my mother had a book from her childhood (along with My Friend Mr. Leakey and The Wonderful O, and a range of other more-challenging-than-my-age-range-but-still-children's-books)
