Emma Bunton is adorable. That is all.

As long as you don't try to make any smol art, both perchance and civitai are good, free online ai image generators. 95% of what I do is made online, I use local generation for...specific...types of pictures.

You mean FOR LC or WITH the online generators?

I know pretty well Secret Wars, it was the first comic I bought with my own money XD In fact Secret Wars was published in 1984. I was talking of the effect of the Secret Wars on the company. They started a never ending chain of crossovers: Inferno, Fall of the Mutants, Mutant Massacre, Acts of Vengeance, etc, that happened in the second half of the 80s and lasted until the 90s, when it collapsed with the Infinite Trilogy, X-Cutioner's Song and stuff like that. They were exhausting crossovers, even hardcore fans wanted all that shit to stop.

It was a domino effect and once they realized they could hook readers and sucker them into buying all the additional crap- there was no looking back.
THEN every other publisher decided to follow along right in their footsteps.

I fell into their trap, BUT luckily I was able to "gnaw my leg off" and escape.

I can't blame the company for the consumerism of the people. They don't force them to buy. The first cross over age stopped when people get tired and stopped buying causing the sales drop, same happened with Marvel UK, Marvel 2099, the New Universe or the Ultimate universe, etc. The fandom is responsible to make a company strategy success or fail. Without consumers there are not sellers.

I don't think it has anything to do with "forcing people to buy"- I think it's just a simple case of FOMO (before it even had a name).

For the most part, comic books weren't as "collectible" or valuable back then. Yes, there were some pricier books, but people weren't as fervently worried about their collections as they were, say 10 years later. They read their books and just set them down or put them on a shelf..."bagging and boarding" didn't come until much later.
You used to be able to buy them off of turnstile-type rack and people would flip through them, bend the spines, fold them in half, cut out ads/coupons and shit like that. You'd be boiled alive if you tried that today.

Once books started going up in price and people started charging more for older books, variants, incentives, exclusives, certain numbers, introductions, first appearances, deaths- everyone HAD to have ALL of them in the event just ONE of them became valuable. Look at McFarlane's "Platinum" cover Spider-man from back then- due to the short print run and "special cover" that book became extremely valuable...in a very short time.
A book may be valuable, BUT it's only WORTH what someone is willing to pay. (Just imagine ALL the books and comics that were destroyed for the war effort during WWII?) THIS is why a LOT of them are worth so much, aside from the fact not that many were printed initially.

I remember seeing an "Action Comics #1" in about (roughly) VG/VF condition in the 80s- it was going for less than $400. Imagine what it's worth now? I wasn't a huge fan of Superman AND my mama sure as fuck wasn't about to spend that much on a comic book.
Our mamas Love us, but they only love us SO much.

Yeah, it's from that anime.

I've still got to watch that at some point. (Add it to the LIST.)

I guess you already know heroes are not always "heroes Bring the bad guy alive doesn't apply to all the characters or teams. The Punisher is not the only one who kills every bad guy who cross his path. For example, we had a phase where X-Force was literally an execution team. Man-Thing fits in supernatural teams, and there most of the enemies, nobody cares if they survive or not. But anyways, the Man-Thing fits more in a solo horror series. My point was, despite to be a minor character (and mostly he always will be) writers come back to him. It's not that nothing more can't be done with the character.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but even you have to admit- he's just kinda there. He is a one-note character.
He'd be good with Ghost Rider, Morbius, Hellstrom, Satana, Magik, Brother Voodoo, and those kinds of heroes/anti-heroes.
(Had to, admittedly, look up his origin... DC copied every damn thing, didn't they literally 2 months later.)
It does says that he is a "mindless force of nature, that instinctively protects the innocent". So does he actually "join" a team OR do they just wrangle him to help them OR has he been retconned with some type of sentience?

Women have a vagina, anus, mouth, 2 earholes, 2 nostrils and a urethra. (And eye-sockets if you're a sick fuck)
Futas also have a cock with a urethra. One extra hole!

Yeah, IF you back read- there was someone, let's say, more "creative" than even you...

Thank you thank you. I got some confetti in my mouth.

Well, there wasn't a gif with Martha Stewart shooting it out of her backside- I know you would've followed the trail "upstream".

You sure do look good in them panties.

I have no idea how to respond to this... (other than do they make my ass look big?)

The thing I read said Palpatine was Plagueis' apprentice and had 'mastered' death, that's why he was still alive.
Snoke was a clone that still had lots of power, but was imperfect (see his face)
So, he never stayed dead after RotJ. Instead of turning into a force ghost like the good guys,. he just resurrected.

You still would've thought he'd have opted to be put in a younger clone. Just think of how much more formidable a Sith Fucking Master would've been in those lightsaber duels with Rey and Kylo. THAT is a movie I'd want to see. A lightsaber duel to rival the one on Mustafar and on Naboo.

I mean, the action scenes were top-notch compared to the old movies. So, if it was their first Star Wars in theaters, it makes sense.

That might have something to do with the fact they have much better fight choreographers and actors that can actually learn the fighting moves.
Sir Alec Guinness was great at the time, BUT you sure as Hell we're going to see him hopping around like Yoda.

Alright grandma, let's get you some metemucil. You sound like an elder boomer

Like you don't agree?
I, mean, looking back- not sure HOW we survived childhood with some of the stupid shit we used to do, but we weren't fucking morons. We didn't have helmets, padding, protective gear. Cut-off jean shorts were armor against everything and a LOT of us are still here today.

I saw him earlier tonight. I feel kinda bad for him now.
His grandpa told him he would pay for college or technical school if he got in. At the time, nephew was working for gramps.
He applied for tech school and got accepted at the beginning of June, as long as he completes a paid internship for the welding/mechanic shop before the start of the semester.
So, he leaves the job with gramps and goes across the state to work as a grunt for the shop. Tonight, gramps told him he wasn't going to pay anymore!
Because he quit his job working for gramps, so he would get into the technical school! He told the nephew he could "Get a Job at Arbys or Walmart for all I care."
I called him a cunt. Now a few of us are trying to think of a way to get him some school money.

Wow. I have nothing, absolutely, nothing snarky to say about him...
THAT is fucked.
HOW/WHY did gramps do that to him? Did he have any kind of justification?

It was a decently good game! Funny with the crude humor. Some of the jokes are a little edgelord for me, but I had fun!
It's got to be pretty cheap by now?

I have yet to play, but thought the trailer looked pretty good- and it was from the mind of "Rick & Morty" before, y'know...
I think I paid less than $10 for it, for a full game with DLC I can't complaint too much (and IF I did who would care?).

I have only done one gif at a time.
But, I have put more that one image overlay on to a gif.
Say the gif has a head that turns from left to right. And I want to insert *bonkhead* over the gif head
I put the 1st *bonkhead* facing left over the gifhead. Then motion track (not Auto) the frames where the gifhead is facing left.
When the gifhead turns right, then I -hide- the left facing *bonkhead*
I then add another image of left facing *bonkhead*, and flip it so it faces right.
Now, with the flipped *bonkhead* facing right, I motion track over the right facing gifhead,
You can keep doing this with multiple overlayed images.

I think the fog is starting to clear
Now when you say "Hide" does that little box that says "Animated" (with the little check-box) go away and you have to re-open it? OR does that stay open?
When I try to "motion track" it's greyed out... (I might have hit auto first and it won't let you back out of it? Possibly?)
So you can do more than one motion this way with multiple characters?
I'm going to have to futz with it some more later- perhaps after I retire from "Back-reading".

This confetti tastes like burning leaves

That's probably because Snoop Dogg's been up in there and he cums smoke.

Hey, I'm not the one who came up with their easy to lampoon usernames.

Oh, so, it's their fault. If they didn't dress like sluts- they wouldn't be as easy to ridicule?

She did get the $4k. The locks of love people got their share of hair, it just wasn't her hair.
The guy she sold it to said it was to make fancy wigs, I think that's where the Locks of Love people knew him from.
He made wigs out of the donated hair for them.
I just think it's weird that her hair was apparently better than the other hair they were going to get.
Also, why do the locks of love people know the value of hair? Isn't it supposed to be for charity?

Wait. There's still some holes in this story.
She donates to a charitable organization.
She's "lock blocked" by the person AT the charity. (Who calls someone not affiliated with the charity, but does work for them?)
He pays her $4K for her hair...to make wigs...for the charity...that she was already going to donate originally?

That's a good point haha

Yeah, "UnderCarriage" isn't exactly known for his altruism, now is he?

Well, they still put the stickers on, but taking a sticker off can't void the warranty.
Doesn't matter what the damn sticker says. Right to repair laws working

Hmmm, I shall take your word for that...
It was a tad different in the world of Metrology.

Hmm, I haven't read comics for a long time. I wouldn't be surprised if Disney had some say in the comics, too.

Disney owns Marvel, just like they own half the companies in the world nowadays, so they has some say in the comics indeed. Hahaha

Watch this and wait until the "Empire of Joy" line, just to see HOW sad it really is... (Amazing Vid though.)

What? I was shocked to hear that people on this site of all places were into the smols, I thought all of that was removed from this site by the users request. Also you all are the most talkative "shy" people I've ever met

As you've used no emoticons or reacts- I'm not sure if you're being sincere or sarcastic.

Yes I think it worked great! I'm able to keep up with all the current topics, and still make a decent chunk into the backlog, while having Bob's Burgers on in the background. I didn't keep track of how many pages I knocked out, but I'm pretty consistently average out to about 600 pages behind whatever the current page count is. I make a good head start in the mornings when not many people are on, but then as the day goes on I get distracted by talking in the current pages, attempting to make gifs, stuffing my face, and constantly having to refill my drink I end up reading less and less of the older stuff. I'll keep this method up

Hmmm, I may have to give it another shot- next time.

I used to buy directly a 00 for detail work. But this kind of brushes are not so good to use, the painting dries too fast on them and get wasted easily.
I do own a whole skeleton wh painted army, but I didn't paint it XD
BTW: second generation speed paintings changed the rules of the game. Now to paint a miniature is 10 times easier than it was before.

Oh, that was years and and nerve damage in both hands- doesn't make it possible anymore. I can't paint a curb without fuckin' it up...

Are you telling me you don't have an hour to watch a video of guys having a haircut?

I talking more about that ASMR lady droning on about solo-RPG campaigns...

So that they can tell you the value of your donation for income tax purposes.

IF that's the case- it's sounds kind of black market. How much is a kidney worth? A heart?

We're not 'shy' we're Anti-Social. Shy people don't waggle their genitals in front of churchgoers.
There's not much more Anti-Social then spending large mounts of time on an internet forum.

I'm not sure if you're @Underlord anymore.
Shit, you might be me.

My first response was tomato/potato but because I don't want to spark another multipage discussion on the importance of distinction in language and how words have meanings I will just say ahh ok . Cause that pack of the lore was a very boring back read for me

That's the beauty of being anon, I could be anyone

Hey guys! Hows it going? Has Mime committed any atrocities yet today?

Yes dead hookers are just a routine part of life at this point no one cares. But this monster refuses to change his stance on sleaze despite my petition! I can't even imagine a greater atrocity being possible than this

That's my bad my response about the results was definitely meant to be read as sarcastic.

I definitely recommend giving at least one more shot some time

You could probably order one online.

You better have come with some strong opinions on the weather if you want to post here bub

Ok then.

I can't relate to anyone that likes the heat. It's too cold? You can always wear more.
It's too hot? Once you're alone in your room, drenched in water, fans blowing, AC smoking out from over-use, you're done. There's nothing more you can do.
FOR ME, there's no such thing as "too cold".

Wow. That brings me back

I remember lawn darts.
I also remember Petanque (in French, dunno the English, lawn bowling with baseball sized metal balls you hurled at the target on the ground)
In both cases, hopefully, the other players weren't in the way.

Is it fucked up that I miss those days?
