The Queue: Don’t have -UCK in your canned soda’s name.

In the future of Starfield, the legacy of Canada is a series of really weird canned sodas and other canned foods.

Consider me nonplussed. The original meaning.

I mean, CAN-uck? That is not an appetizing name. They actually have canned Poutine, y’all. That’s not right. That’s  not right at all.

I mean, where is the lie, although I’m sad we don’t get one for the boys.

I’m sure this is a deliberate choice by Blizzard, but I disagree with it, so I’m just going to say so here.

My profile picture comes from this.

It’s the climactic fight in  the Superman: Exile storyline. Having exiled himself from Earth due to his guilt over killing three Kryptonian criminals with Kryptonite (it would take a while to explain) a Superman who hasn’t been able to recharge his powers is getting slowly weaker while also being forced through gladiator combat on an artificial planet named Warworld by the tyrant Mongul.

Mongul is basically discount Thanos, except that he was created by Jim Starlin, the guy who created Thanos in the first place as a discount Darkseid, who Superman has also fought. Comic books, everyone.

Anyway, at this point in the story, Superman has refused to kill any of his opponents in the ring, and so Mongul demands he kill the last one. Superman basically says no thank you, and so Mongul attacks Superman directly and manages to knock him out. Afraid that he won’t be able to kill Superman with a weapon he takes him to a dungeon to torture and kill both Superman and his opponent Draaga. Superman objects, and the fight kicks off with Superman breaking his bonds.

Exhausted and down to a fraction of his usual strength, Superman gets manhandled by Mongul, who gets pretty irritated with him for the whole not dying already thing. Thus, this final exchange, where Mongul grabs Superman’s neck and growls I have had enough of you!

That third panel, to me, is Superman personified. Alone in an alien place, surrounded by enemies and even the ones that aren’t his enemies calling him foolish and naive for not killing his opponents — Draaga practically demands Superman kill him once he knows he’s beaten — and with his powers dwindling away fighting someone who is an even match for him when he’s fully charged, he puts everything he has left into one punch to knock Mongul cold. And why? To save someone who has tried to kill him and thinks he’s an idiot for not trying to kill back.

Just tell her you couldn’t get it. Make sure never to specify why you couldn’t. She doesn’t need to know it’s because the idea of doing so made your soul throw up.

As plenty of people said in the comments, yes, there aren’t any changes to the old Catalyst system. But I figured someone else might want to know, so here we are.

You got through the DMV and got your tags renewed in 19 minutes?

Since you are clearly in league with the forces of darkness, I have to say thank you for not using your vast evil power for world conquest.

For me, while Dragonflight was one of my favorite expansions and I was very much enjoying it, Blizzard went and put out Diablo 4 and that really destroyed my ability to play any other game, and then just as I was getting ready to come back in I started getting pummeled with other games I wanted to play. I mean, between D4, BG3, now Starfield and Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty at the end of the month I barely log in to WoW more than one every couple of days.

It’s not because I don’t like the expansion, it’s simply game overload.

It’s a polearm and it’s Ashkandi with a stick tied to the hilt.

Hey, you didn’t say good speculation.

I am an utter sucker for seeing Superman mess up Mongul. It’s honestly kind of cathartic.
