While I haven't played D2 in years, I think you're missing a LOT of the content that it does have. Sure, a seasonal storyline may be small, with a proper expansion campaign being a little longer, but if you really get into Destiny, finishing that stuff is just were the game starts. From there you have raids, dungeons, crucible, gambit, trials of the 9, whatever the seasonal activity is, grinding out long weird questlines to get a particular exotic, doing hidden jumping puzzles to get a different exotic, etc. etc.

Definitely fair that it hooked you less and thus you didn't get into all that other content, but objectively, Destiny did have a fuckton of content.

You're correct, he came out of a new mutants arc, back about 40 years ago. He did also eventually get a solo series, as well as sort of a team series, but those were much later, and certainly not where the character came from. He was just a character that would occasionally pop up in X books for many years before actually having a book. Unless the other person was more just saying the character came from A comic book series, not specifically a Legion one.

But anyway, X-Men Legacy (Vol. 2, 2012) was basically a Legion solo book. Si Spurrier wrote it, had 25 issues, and was a lot of fun.

Then Si Spurrier returned to write Legion of X, well into the Krakoan era. Was basically a team book of Legion, Nightcrawler, Juggernaut, Pixie, and maybe someone else? Legion and Nightcrawler were definitely the main character focuses though.

Neither resemble the tv show in any way.

What, you think Mr. Burns went to the doctor and got diagnosed with Mr. Burns Syndrome? No.

Ah yes, 3 stooges syndrome.

Downvoted for saying Soos would be MAGA

This is dope, did you just draw on it with a bleach pen?

Sir, this is patient gamers. The Alters came out like a week ago.

The other day I was seeing 13.1 million people, now I'm seeing 4-6 million, these are some big gaps.

A ton of people either way, but anyone know why the discrepancies are so big?

I can't even imagine how people are counted for things like this. The one I went to was in a town of about 100k total people so I'm sure it was on the smaller side of things, but if asked how many people were there I'd guess around 2000, but that would still just be a completely wild guess essentially. Is that how they count attendance for these things, wild guesswork?

Yeah, you're absoutely right here, neither the Daddies nor the Zippers were ska bands. They were part of that brief lived big-band/swing revival in the 90's you mentioned.

To get a little pedantic about it, the real defining trait of ska is the "ska rhythm" where the guitar plays on the off-beat, or the upstroke, or "skank". The Specials - A Message to You Rudy is a pretty good easy to hear example of that guitar rhythm.

But to most people, the thing that was most noticeable about ska at first listen was the horn sections. Especially in the 90's third wave, when rock and rock adjacent bands were not really using horns anymore. So it was really easy to lump in both CPD and SNZ as "ska", as they both came out around the heyday of third wave ska, when the Bosstones, Reel Big Fish, etc. were all blowing up, even though they didn't use ska rhythms at all.

One thing that is kind of funny to me is that Sublime was way more of a ska band than either of them, but since they didn't have a horn section, I never much heard people refer to Sublime as ska.

More likely lined up for Switch 2 launch. My local Best Buy barely carries anything for pc parts, and I don't think mine is the only one.

Yep, still a 404 for me. Not a big deal, at least for me though, as I was still able to find the article, and if anyone else has my issue, my guess is that my link will work for them?
