It's kinda long.

Some of it is, but a lot is just retroactively changing a character, it happens all the time. And that's in the same continuity -- when you're jumping to a new canon and a new medium you're inevitably making changes anyway, might as well lean into it.

Ali Farka Touré, The Source

No, I'm strongly opposed to that, Warframe is a strong fictional universe with its own identity and crossovers would just weaken it.  

I do think the line is a little blurrier for skins, and I'm okay with a clear reference or homage. I wouldn't want an explicit, like, "Excalibur Eva 01 skin", but I'd be fine with a skin where you can tell the artist was thinking of an Eva y'know? And I do think my Drifter would look very cool in something inspired by the gear from Death Stranding.

Since they were created Bobby became gay, Beast turned blue and furry, Scott and Jean got personalities, Angel's entire deal has changed a bunch of times. Comic characters change, it's the nature of the medium, and these silver age characters especially need to change because they started out with almost nothing going on.

wingedcoyote

Yeah I think it's the way to go. An oppressed minority of five white preps is crazy, you gotta change some of them.  

I had Jon Boyega down as my fan cast for Bobby at some point, of course they're going to go younger though.

Psychological corruption is typically not instantaneous.

It is a very cool piece. I wish the "lens" would take suit energy color or something instead of the second accessories color, it makes it difficult to match with other stuff.

wingedcoyote

Probably, and I did really like 80s Moira, but now I feel like she'll always be overshadowed by the whole "did you know later she'll turn into the terminator and cut Banshee's skin off" thing

We hire baristas constantly.

wingedcoyote

Correct!

Gaga really does sound an awful lot like Madonna.

Movement rate buffs dogwalk every kind of buff in terms of making the game more fun to play, and Wisp is the queen of them. Volt gives more speed, which is great, but it's shorter duration and some people find it too fast. Wisp is comfier, and she gives nice offensive and defensive boosts too. In general buffs don't matter a lot in most content, but seeing a Wisp in your pub group means you're going to have a noticeably better time.  

Defensive buffs only really matter in the hardest content, but Oberon and especially Dante are excellent at them and it's always appreciated. I'd say Banshee's Sonar serves as the most impactful offensive buff right now and have a nice fun factor as well.

This is so much harder than the album one.

You mean her skin color? I did notice she got darker with the last graphics update, I think Kaya may have as well though it isn't quite as pronounced for me as it appears to be for you.

It is a weird contradiction. The immediate killing spree is incontrovertible evidence of a psycho, and I don't think we can just fanwank a magic curse that makes you evil into existence if it isn't discussed in the source material. I'm personally inclined to just blame it on flawed writing, but we could suppose that the "normal" Light is still a psychopath but seems normal because he isn't in a position to cause any serious harm.

wingedcoyote

It does leave behind an afterimage of you when you start moving after standing for a bit. I think it's a really cool effect overall, my only gripe is I wish the glowy effect on the body would fade in and out smoothly instead of abruptly switching on/off.

wingedcoyote

Odd, I completed a similar challenge just today with Oraxia's 4 on the whole time.  

My riven didn't have the parts about dashing or taking damage, just kill 13 while latched, but staying on the wall and popping 13 guys worked fine.

wingedcoyote

Parchment is fine. After 12 minutes at 550 it's crispy around the edges, but it won't combust unless you let it touch the element.

wingedcoyote

Yeesh, I don't know. For me Moira is one of the most burned characters in comics at this point.

wingedcoyote

Maybe, but if it's that fast we're not talking about "power corrupts" but about an actual personality-changing curse and I don't know that there's evidence for that. Plus doesn't the death god comment really early on about how Light is a psycho and nobody else got so kill-crazy so fast?

What jobs people take is secondary, the biggest thing you need population growth for is to have a market for products and services. You're right that raising the birth rate is the alternative, but I'm not aware of anybody finding a practical and politically acceptable way to do it.

wingedcoyote

Yeah you need immigrants to fill jobs, but just as importantly you need immigrants to buy products. The only alternative would be to somehow manufacture a baby boom or to radically restructure the economy, neither really practicable.

wingedcoyote

Just what I was thinking, like, it's cheesecake, but there's a nice stylization of the lines that feels dynamic, and she looks powerful
