Bruce Coville is such an incredibly fun read for young Sci-Fi fans. I flipped through some of the Aliens Ate My Homework series recently now that I'm older and it's still a great time. Coville really did well at writing in a way that makes it understandable and enjoyable for kids without dumbing down ideas that would help spark the imagination and garner understanding for more advanced works.

I should flip back through the My Teacher is an Alien series too at some point. I'm pretty sure I at least still have a copy of My Teacher Flunked the Planet here somewhere.

Aside from the joy of playing Injustice as a comics fan, I really really enjoyed that I could find something fun about playing each character. My top 2 are definitely Green Arrow and Batgirl, but it starts to get harder to choose from there. I definitely would also put Solomon Grundy and Batman up there too, I totally get why you have them in your top roster.

I never owned Injustice 2 and unfortunately didn't get to play enough of it to choose, let alone get to try all the awesome new characters they added. I'm sure a day will come at some point where I finally get a real upgraded gaming experience and can then get the sequel for myself!

It's always nice to see someone else that really liked Dead Money! There's something really intriguing about the challenge of surviving the Sierra Madre without all the fancy gear and weapons I'd been relying on for so long. Assembling the ragtag team of prisoners was fantastic too -- Dog/God, Dean Domino and Veronica's-very-own Christine was quite the cast. The only thing I didn't dig about Dead Money was the VATS glitch with the Holorifle that causes the game to get stuck in the VATS combat animation with no way out. I didn't confirm it as a bug until the third time it happened (but luckily after the second time I was smart enough to save immediately before testing the rifle in VATS again to see if that was the cause).

Follows-Chalk is a homie for life! "Like the shadow of a ghost" is one of the great sneak-mode lines.

I just used the built-in spoiler controls on the Eternity app which appear fine on there but must not be set up to work outside of the app?

Whatever the reason, thanks for the heads up! Turned my laptop back on to edit it as an extra precaution since I've never had a problem with the browser style controls.

I loved the different story paths and choices for Honest Hearts. The history of the tribes,

I can't believe I never heard about this before. This is fascinating, thank you for sharing. I'm sure some movie producer is trying to get the rights to Ken Ono's life story if someone hasn't already!

It might depend on how many people are familiar with the flowers but "Yellow Shrimp and The Phipps" sounds like a worthy name to post on [email protected]

Oh nice! I was definitely enjoying it from the start but I think it's about partway through Season 1 when Izuku and Uraraka were paired up against Bakugo and Ida that got me. I loved seeing Izuku use his strategic intelligence to make up for his lack of quirk control; I was so excited at him predicting and easily countering Bakugo's opening right hook.

And the Season finale episodes with the villains invading UA is what finally sent me into full binge mode. Aizawa taking on all those villains by himself had me cheering (even Shigi had to admit how cool he is) and Izuku's careful assessment of the situation allowing him to figure out how to use his and Tsu's quirks to overcome the water area villains was so clever that I was all in and never left.

Some of the episodes I've rewatched the most are in Season 2, it's quite the ride and I hope you enjoy it! If you ever hit a point where you need to talk about something in the show but have no one to talk to it about, feel free to reach out as there isn't a ton of discussion for it on Lemmy and I'm always happy to discuss MHA. Go Beyond, Plus Ultra!

It's so good at what it does, it's one of those shows that gets me so energized that the soundtrack is now a regular part of my workout playlist. Where are you at in the series so far? And is there a specific episode/moment where you started to really get hooked?

It kinda looks like the wizard saw some dudes fighting a dragon and started livestreaming it.
