Now’s as good a time as any to share this thing I made on City of Heroes a couple weeks ago:
Just need to level her up to get the full robot stampede.
Today's edition of the Secret Commentary is empty, because Dave failed to come up with something for it.
thats todd for you: always seeing the positive…..but yeah, i can totally see selkie become a crazy innovative architect
“And here’s the plans fors yours new office buildings!”
“…Why does it look like a giant statue of you riding a puma?”
“Don’ts questions greatness!”
Gaudí, Gehry, Selkie……kind of rolls off the tongue if you think about it. 😛
Don’t forget I.M. Pei, in your architecture list.
Selkie’s never been shown Blackadder or she’d have misgivings about the phrase “cunning plan” 🙂
Pretty sure Black Adder is not appropriate for an 8 year old. Government places won’t allow anything over G at that age, and it doesn’t strike me as the sort of movie Todd would make an exception for.
Show, not movie, but yeah, you’re probably right about that. I think most of the jokes would go over a preteens head, too.
I could see him showing her the last series. Been awhile since I last watched it(it’s on the list of things I need to watch again soon so don’t kill me) but IIRC it’s more dark humor focused then the others with less raunchy jokes.
Todd has definitely been leveling up his parenting skills.
So there’s a difference between “supervillain who forces everyone to praise them” and “accomplished engineer whom everyone praises because of their accomplishments”? 🤔
Is it too much to ask for both?
Not really.
(I’m an engineer)
Well, that admission answers the question of resonant frequencies. I have always wondered why I like your posts. Question answered, mischief managed.
I presume you wear the pinkie ring too?
I thought City of heroes had closed! Is it still available?!!!! I loved that game.
It did close, but apparently the code for the game got leaked and people have set up publically available servers to play on. There’s a few different options available. If you want info on the different options, heck around the City of Heroes subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/cityofheroes
The setup I’m playing on runs here: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/index.php
City of Heroes still exists?
Kind of. There are (formerly secret) private servers running. There’s a three hour queue to get in some days.
The one I’m playing on has been pretty free from queues. I’m on the Homecoming shards.
*checks with offspring to see if this is the CoH shard we’re on, which had some pretty terrible queues late in the evening*
I hope City of Titans can get running someday. Spouse says they’re close to “character design and run around a limited area, talking” release. (“So,” I said, “Second Life?”)
It’d need more pornography to be Second Life.
I’m 20, so I was too young to get in on the game when it was out. That has not stopped me from searching out the novels as much as I can. I feel like I showed up late to a great party that is now over, just like “Gargoyles” or any other late 90s early 2000s thing. This gives me hope that I can one day scratch the hero itch.
W00t! ‘Gargoyles’ fan over here. ‘Gargoyles’ was my first, hard-core entry into fandom. 😉
*singing* Selkie Smith Evil In-cor-por-a-ted!
That’s just a thing we do around here.
Thanks for that earwig……. lol
If that’s Selkie wearing some sort of “Backpack of Doom” in your picture, she looks pretty dang awesome!
I sincere hope your CoH character is Robotics/Poison and has a green tinted fiery eyes combat aura.
Robot/Kinetic. But I love the green fire eyes idea. Maybe for a real-Selkie character…
What she actually loves is gloating from atop a structure that she designed and built herself? Is that a Selkie-Thing or an Echo-Thing? Either way, I love Todd’s reaction.
