Well, in comic-verse, Gamora was a cluster of retcons and character-deaths that would get retconned through 'magic'.
-Story-wise, she had already died, like, four times. Including being totally erased from ever existing at least once. She got better.
Trying to shove that shit and drama (time travel, warlock, two reincarnations*, and a series of pre-pre-emptive genocidal rampages) into a single movie got trimmed down to "She's a time-paradox; Thanos did it".
*at one point she got sucked into a rock for a few years.
Not sure what was up and off with Drax, though. Maybe they couldn't fit enough of Gamora's backstory on Gamora so they invented Drax (which is partially true, see also the Phalynx hive-mind).

I do agree with Yandere's sentiment that words not wording workingly do be a problem this time of year.

Scratch that, place your bets on polymarket.

Looks like I'll be working on memorial day weekend. And no, this does not mean place any bets on polymarket.

due to a typo on my part I was nearly convinced I owed the IRS nearly $3000 in excess taxes this year.

Bio
-There will be delays in replies. Largely due to working overtime, voluntary obligations; other RPs and online-things may compete for my attention.
'Bout me:
Started RPing (badly) back in '05, mostly doing nation-RPs with an emphasis on technology and strategy, later edging out to character-espionage and military-tactics before doing "less serious" character roleplays that were outside of the 2005-2008 continuity.
That's when I went to Dead-Frontier, and found the RP community there, joined a clan, did some pretty good roleplays and pretty much loosened-up my online-personality. When the clan-leader decided to move her RPs here, most of the clan followed.
Took a course in technical-writing back in '08, so now I may sometimes use the semicolon correctly.
In 2010 I dusted off the old nation-RP continuity I had, doing a few hetelia-esque RP-shenanigans there..
RP-Habbits: I tend to geek-out on little technical-details, and sometimes infer how those details would impact the background of the roleplay. Great for world-building, not so great when you had a perfectly good plotline and I just MacGyver it off the rails (though I usually er to the side of amusement, sometimes it creates very grim side-stories).

Was good, but it's getting more praise than I think it should.
Your expectations are either too high, or you're looking for something in the wrong genre.

I definitely enjoyed it. Rocket especially. Who knew a talking gun totin' raccoon could be so entertaining?
Flamelord said
Well then, revelations ahoy. Weiss crush on Neptune is definitely a thing, Schnee company headquarters is in Atlas, which has all the tech tech, that Elysium Paladin mech is probably the one the White Fang were using in the Volume 2 trailer, Weiss has a sister named Winter, and Penny is confirmed to be a robot. Yay plot.
Neptune also has 'ways' of scaling tall building, by which it is implied Sun drags him up a tree.
Also, Yang has informants... she probably means 'junior'... poor guy...
Clean the barrel good, or dem corrosive primers will ruin the barrel.
Sanding/polishing/oiling/lube works epic wonders for the mosin's bolt, which is stiff largely due to the firing-pin travel being pretty massive (it hits the primer with tremendous force, compared to pretty much any other firearm, ever).
Grouping ain't great, get it in the bull or you'll have a hard time hitting targets even as close as 200 yards with a gun rated for 500 on iron-sights.
-At 100 yards, I can write my name in .22LR, ammunition permitting.

Hmm, 20k ruck march
...
Ow.
So glad they adopted internal frame packs, though.

I graduated OSUT and BCT, finally I'm an official Reconnaissance Scout
Congrats.
I didn't even get through MEPS.
-Got my Eagle, though. Not the same, but still... owing from that experience:
So, what was the hardest/most 'fun' part you'd like to share so we can properly bask in the awesomeness of this accomplishment?

Eugh, god I hate VEPRs. Their construction, particularly in the receiver, strays too far from normal AK specs to garner my interest.And are Mosins really that expensive? I got mine for $120, and it was the most expensive of the 8 this guy was selling.
I got mine for $98 incl. tax.
Came with 440 rds of ammo 'n stuff.
To say I bought another +1k rds and shot the everloving soviet shit out of it would be an understatement. It caught on fire twice so far.
So glad I bought a $5 slip-on rubber recoil-pad (originally meant for a shotgun).
-that said, the recoil is still enough to sandpaper your elbows when shooting from a bench (despite Kevlar sleeves).
Do like, will try reloading the cases, then sell the kit after the stock of cartridges are completely exhausted.
Flamelord saidDON'T FORGET NEPTUNE!
Okay then. So that was an episode. Some shout outs, a new character, and Emerald, Mercury, and Cinder are in Beacon. This doesn't look good.
Also, Weiss has crush, and is being rather emotional.
*Heh, snow angel... where did I see that before?

Could I be the Security Officer?
Pretty sure I've already got that job. Well... "environmental security specialist", actually.
That said, my character is trying to create Dr-Who levels of world-ending biological weapons... just to prove they can exist.
The next 24 IC-hours are gonna be AWESOME Ruby sez.
