Haven’t gotten back around to the Ultimate Alliance games yet, but I recently picked up the XMen Legends games that preceed them on the OG Xbox.

Still quite a bit of fun.

I actually found and picked up Midnight Sons when I was looking on the PS store to see if those games had been ported.

I love Midnight Sons. It’s very similar in a lot of ways but the gameplay is quite different. I’m told it’s like XCom games by the same company, but I’ve never played that.

Interacting with your team back at base is definitely bigger than in XMen legends, and for some gamers it was too much… a bit of ‘friendship simulator’ to it to increase team chemistry etc.

The gameplay is card based. I recommend looking up a video if curious. It’s not for everyone, but those who love it really love it. Count me as one of them.

His name was Marauder Shields…

Nah, that’s more related to the episode named ‘Lower Decks’ I think.

"What is grief if not love perservering?’

Thank you. It’s hard, but it’s worth it.

Had to say goodbye to my cat this weekend.

The past month or so, he’d become very demanding for attention in the middle of the day, crawling all over the desk and nibbling at my hands if they were typing or using the mouse rather than loving on him.

Every day at almost the same time. And I gave him what he wanted every time.

My Monday would certainly be better if he was still doing it.

Doordash charges restaurants a percentage of the gross from the sale. Rather than eat this cost, restaurants are encouraged but not forced to add a markup on the prices they give Doordash (or insert your favorite third party delivery app here). They all do it.

If you order from a store’s own website though, Doordash (I don’t know if other third parties do this) did not “find” or create the business/order… they are really only handling the delivery portion.

In this instance, they still have some fees but do not take the large percentage, as that is a finder or broker fee. They aren’t bringing the restaurant the business, it’s the other way around.

Thus, restaurants can use their normal pricing. If you can find the places near you doing this, it’s a much better deal than using Doordash normally.

I thought for the longest time that homeopathy was just a generic name for alternative medicines or something. Wasn’t for me regardless so I never gave it a second thought or dug into it.

Someone recently explained what it was to me and I just started laughing. Hilarious. Kinda. I had no clue.

True.

Also true that Biden cancelled it in his first months in office… Who knows how long it takes to get fully up to speed on everything bad we have going on?

Also Also true that it started and ran longer under a different regime.

Yeah, I’m not suggesting anything different be done to mitigate, just pointing out what us stupid Americans do sometimes.

I caught it fine this time, but I’ve been confused before because I generally browse ‘All’ because of the content amount. I don’t always catch the community right away. It’s not an entirely unreasonable mistake.

Are people purposefully planting onion grass? I’m not in Cali… and granted some of my neighbors look like they’ve intentionally planted it all over their yard… but I’m fairly certain it’s not intentional.

I’ve been saying the same thing for a while. Same with the massive waves of ‘inflation’ and enshittification.

I finally got a chance to play ‘Bounty Hunter’ the PS2 Star Wars game a few years ago on PS4.

The controls were inverted x axis and couldnt be changed. I couldn’t get through the first level.

Here’s one I played a lot of and loved that I never hear about anywhere… Bionic Commando - 1992. A port of a Nintendo game I only got to try a few times, but the game boy version was better to me.

I’m pretty sure this is exactly what happened.
