not a mutant.

My first pick is also not a mutant, but he was an X-Men member which is what counts.

Yes, and select breeds may develop differently... but are they 100% off mother's milk? I'm not trying to be a pain in the ass, I just want to make sure they really are ready to move on to new households. If the mother no longer provides any nutrients then I suppose they advanced faster, but my mom really made sure it was 100% when I was growing up and she really impressed it on me.

It's too soon. You need to wait until 12-15 weeks for best result. I've raised (initially) with my mothers help more litters than I can count, and many were half-breed Siamese... so desirable AND not inbred. Give it at least 2 more weeks unless you're giving to someone who knows at least as much or more than you about raising kittens. This isn't an emotional health thing for them, it's if they can transfer from mother's milk to another food source.

I can't fully answer because of lacking details. If the remaster costs more but is just marginally higher audio quality then no. If it has bonus content then yes. Considering the way you're talking about listening to it, buy the cheapest/most readily available version if the new one has no extras. I cannot think of how the audio could be much clearer on a perceptible level since you're going to down scale it anyway to listen on your phone.

That's a "how often do they appear" sort of metric

Which is highly determined by popularity. If you tally how many comic issues Wolverine has appeared in it's on par with Supes, Batman, and Spider-man despite being a newer character and they wouldn't do that if he didn't have a lot of fans.

SNK has been better than Capcom for a very long time. SF2 may have proceeded FF by nearly a year but it wasn't long before Capcom started taking ideas from SNK. While Capcom was making new iterations of SF2 with slightly expanded rosters of characters SNK was developing entirely new casts and systems. I'm not saying Capcom's not good, but they do like to stick to a good think while SNK frequently strives for better.

Advokaiser, 2018 character battle guru champ!

Well, popularity would still factor in then which is why Wolvie is #1. He's strong, but definitely not the strongest.

What's the deal with the "value quotient"? that has no bearing on the draft or our team composition, right?

I'm pretty sure those numbers are from some popularity voting site.

Why? Wahlberg doesn't look the right age to me. He's like a full decade shy for the character.

Edit: Just saw Tom Holland got drake so actually it does fit age wise.

How does rule 6 interact with trades? If a character has been used every week before getting traded does the new player have to sit the character out for three weeks?

Thanks for the clarification.

I'm not dropping the Cuckoos. It's your own damn fault if you draft one because everyone else will scoop them after that.

Fair. Thankfully only 3 of 5 make the list.

Yeah there's no over-powered nature there, and the rules (which I'll present tomorrow; I wasn't going to do cuts tonight but people were already discussing it) will preclude gaming the system with them anyways.

My biggest concern was "hey, guess what number 16, you get TWO powerful psychics that inherently make each other stronger." Like I said since I first brought them up is I'm wondering how they'll be dealt with. Though, as you mentioned, the smart move is probably just to not draft them at all.

The list looks good, but there are two names I wish you wouldn't have named.

Advokaiser, 2018 character battle guru champ!

Sorry, but for some reason I'm taking this thing way more serious than I should and I want as many characters as possible to be in this but reality manipulation is where I think the line has to be drawn. Once you can make the argument that you can just blink the opposing team out of existence there is no chance for any balance.

Edit: I also think due to their hive-mind nature the Cuckoos should be dropped. They may be separate bodies but they are a singular mind.
---

Advokaiser, 2018 character battle guru champ!

I just noticed Legion is on the list and I think he needs to be kicked for the same reason as Franklin Richards - reality manipulation. Due to his psychological conditions he doesn't have full control of that, but I can think of some team compositions to skirt around that limitation.

That draft style sounds good to me

We probably don't need any more bans, but I'm not creative enough to think of how to defeat some of the omegas/ mind controllers without some of the villains that are specifically immune to mind control

Maybe by having a mind controller of your own to battle them

Phoenix force will be banned I hope. Also I can think of two characters that can't be mind controlled off the top of my head.

Advokaiser, 2018 character battle guru champ!

While the readable part is extra interesting it's going to be hard to draft teams with known chemistry. I expect a 0% chance that any of Jean Grey, Cyclops, Wolverine or Professor X end up on the same team, for example. The deeper you go, the less chemistry there is beyond pure speculation. How much does an average person know about how Dazzler and Marrow would interact?

DeathChicken posted...

I feel like the "why" of these guys fighting might be important. Or at least it would prevent the most dreaded of comic arguments, wildly OOC behavior. "So Iceman just instantly kills the other team, GG." "Iceman wouldn't do that, he's fundamentally a good guy." "Yeah but he wants to win." "Yeah but..."

I would absolutely agree that the argument shouldn't be "this character could just murder everyone," but I think even if someone tries to argue that most if not all characters have at least soft if not hard counters. Your example of Iceman isn't having an easy time with the likes of Cannonball or Sunspot, for example, and that's if a psychic doesn't just disrupt him. So yes, votes should 100% be based on how the character would act given their powers, but I think voters will consider that sub consciously.

Advokaiser, 2018 character battle guru champ!

Actually, I'm already thinking draft order. If the commitment is lower than Mercs I should have time for this.
---

Advokaiser, 2018 character battle guru champ!

I'd like to, but can't commit just now. However, I do need to know how/if you'll deal with the Stepford Cukoos.

Advokaiser, 2018 character battle guru champ!

Also, since Veidt has only been there a few years (but more than he seems to realize) and not since the initial act (which Dr Manhattan must have been willing to protect given the fact that he killed Rorschach) does this indicate the Ozzy might have later done something even worse?
---

Advokaiser, 2018 character battle guru champ!

That's potentially a good point, but I keep getting the feeling he's become as detached as Dr. Manhattan and that may have been the goal in the first place. Like, maybe, he wants Ozzy to see the world the way he does because he had the audacity to act like he was as godlike as Manhattan.

oh boy, the Ozymandias action in this episode is next level crazy

Yeah. At first I thought I didn't see what I saw but then as the scene went on I realized I did see what I thought I saw and I quickly realized why. Hard to tell who is more messed up between him and Manhattan.

Also, has he lost his mind to the point he can't remember how long he's been there? Isn't it supposed to be longer?

I think even if he didn't say it in time, the fact that he was going to say it is good.

I think the experiment failed and the joke next episode will be Eleanor protesting with "Brent was ABOUT to say sorry!". The Judge will be like "really, you think?", and let him go for like 5 more seconds where it's revealed that he actually said "I'm so, so, sorry that you feel that way" or something equally Brent-ish

I don't know where they go from there if it fails, but then that's the magic of the show I guess.

Yeah... that'd be such a Brent thing to say... and "such a Brent thing to say" might work its way into my vocabulary.

You basically can't. Video game stuff returned opened to Wal Mart is only ever replaced by another like item. Unopened items can only be returned for store credit. Either you're buying another set of joycons or you're playing it on the small screen (or not at all). I'm assuming you can play it in handheld mode, right?

the opposite - once you have joycon drift, there is no handheld mode. only playing docked with a pro controller.

i've had drift for months and have just stopped using the switch in handheld mode but there is pokemon in a week i should really do something about it

My condolences. I don't have one so I really don't know how they have it all set up.

What annoys me the most about the drifting issue, is not the fact that it's happening, is that the Joy Cons are so fucking expensive depsite being defective
Honestly, their price is insane. Nintendo should cut it by half.
I was in Japan and wanted to buy a Joy Con pair, and in Japan it's supposed to be the cheapest, and it was still damn expensive

Cut the fucking price by half. This is the difference between "I won't buy it" and "hmm, I don't really need it, but it doesn't cost too much, so why not"
And the difference between "fuck, I will send it to repair for two weeks and play on my PS4 instead" and "I'll send it to repair but buy another set of Joy Cons"

I'm pretty sure the last time you could get a controller for half the price of a joy-con was PS2 era. That was wired, had no motion controls, and there's been plenty of inflation since. They could maybe knock 10-15 off, but not half off. And since this is now the era of even more personalized controller color schemes the lower batch production of certain shells and buttons may even make that cut impossible.

All fodder.

I don't think Mipha would be high fodder... yet. If this character returns for BotW2 they eventually might even go mid-tier, but very recent Zelda games are always (since MM) mixed bags and then beloved by the time the rerelease comes around.

Tron almost only gets joke/hate votes.

Mysterio gets some votes, maybe mid fodder. Before the last Mr. Spidermen movie low tier.

Various scientists hypothesize a lot of things. Some think the universe may simply be binary data. Others think it may have 11 dimensions. As we perceive it, the best explanation is that it is round because we perceive in 3 dimensions. Also, even if it was flat, it could still be round. You know, like a circle.

Yes, I watch it. Probably one of the only sitcoms I watch (the other being Brooklyn 99)

I think there's definitely more going on than we realize. Perhaps Elenor, Tahani, and Jason are the ones being evaluated, not the four humans chosen by The Bad Place. Meaning that while Simone, Brent, and John might not improve -- Elenor, Tahani and Jason (and Chidi) WILL have. And that it'll be proven at the end of the season when Elenor takes the blame for the experiment's failure to spare her friends, and the Judge reveals that while NO, the specific humans chosen by the bad place didn't improve, the original four humans proved THEY could.

I think that, yes, they are also being evaluated, but the others are too. While they are all making very slow progress, we've seen some. On Earth, John wouldn't have even tried to not spill the tea on Jason and Simone was already a better person than the first group. Brent is still the monkey wrench, but when you add in Chidi you have 3/4 showing either they didn't belong in the bad place or could actually improve themselves with guidance. Also Michael changing his nature and Bad Janet maybe being influenced by him, I think that goes onto the final grade card as well.
