Well, y’know... except actual sex.

Riiiiight? Like, c’mon... you’re not kidding us. This is the SAME REASON that the Fantastic Four tends to suck. Some powers can only really work well and be taken seriously in comic books, and elasticity is one of them. Invisibility is a tough one to put on camera as well.

I bet you thought this line was clever, didn’t you?

Yes. Yes he is.

No, they’re not the only ones doing this... due to the way that China is handling the new lockdown in Shanghai, it’s brutally difficult for employees to commute from home to work right now. They have to go through multiple checkpoints where they are tested and questioned, with time-sensitive papers permitting them to…

Either you’re colorblind or like... you didn’t play the same game as anyone I know.

This isn’t even low-effort.

Because the usage of ‘clutter’ is one very easy, non resource-intensive way to make a space feel lived in without Attenborough explicitly coming out and saying “And here we have the habitat of the mysterious protagonist, a character of legend who-”

Yes. There are.

Sure, but there’s legitimately no need to do so.

“Sorry, guys. Don’t know what came over me. I had sort’ve an... Oliver Queen moment, there, huh?”

Tell me you’re not a fan of The Expanse without telling me you’re not a fan of The Expanse.

While that would certainly be somewhat more plausible, for sure... then the implication becomes that poor folks can just afford to move... which they patently cannot in most cases.

Not going to disagree for a second with your take on the show, it’s definitely a C- Prestige-Wannabe that has nothing to really say and nowhere to really go except down in ratings steadily until being cancelled.

Better to only HALF thwart audience interaction. You know. By getting rid of the part where the audience can actually gauge whether the reaction of their peers was a small percentage of trolls making a scene or an actual meaningful negative reaction to something bad.

It would certainly be fair to say that they probably laid a lot of the groundwork for feats later.

Well, of course they wouldn’t tell him that. It would’ve afforded him the time required to prepare a counter-ritual to raise an army of zombified Hosts of Game-Shows Past against the producers and their scheme.

Feats didn’t come about until D&D 3rd Edition in 2000. They are, by all respects, a relatively modern invention (20 years still not quite being enough to bump it off the pedestal as a contemporary), and they certainly haven’t replaced character attributes or skills as the primary source of your character doing…

Except there IS a formula from Arena up to Oblivion: the game follows traditional CRPG conceits right up until Skyrim, where they decide they’re going to just throw out all that messy ‘statistics’ and ‘attributes’ stuff in favor of three stats (HP,MAGICKA,STAMINA) and skill-perks. And I’ll even go as far as to say…

I disagree with you on basically every statement here, but not because I’m one of the people claiming Bethesda ‘bled talent’.
