What I last watched? Does the atrocity my kids put on count? 'Cause if so, I'm doomed.
I do have to ask where the Impii find these things. No reason. I'm not going to use them to confuse the kids into behaving.

For us, Impus Minor created a NetFlix account for Impus Major and then added all the most-atrocious kids' shows he could find to it, then started adding all the recommended shows as, "Sure, I'll watch that!"
It went downhill from there, and now the entire group of teenagers works very hard to ensure the (lack of) quality of anything the account recommends. Occasionally, they force themselves to watch something off of it, just to keep it "active".
I'm surprised that the train show is any good; the kids have to try harder.

Given that I've been making Orthos marathon FMA:Brotherhood with me, I'm...not sure if this is a very good or a very bad thing.
Both groups have one guy who specializes in long-range explosions (Kimblee and Avdol) and at least one guy who has to get in close to do his damage (Scar and Jotaro/Polnareff). The extra pair in the JoJo group are divination effects and some anti-undead/demon melee (Joseph) and mental/bodily manipulation and control (Kakyoin).
The JoJo team is better rounded and more malleable and can probably handle more disparate situations, but the two alchemists are significantly in the lead when it comes to capacity for destruction. While Kimblee and Avdol are more or less equal normally, Kimblee has the Philosopher's Stones that put his capabilities well above standard; and Scar can outdo either of the other meleers because he's punching things and they blow up, versus just punching or stabbing them, even if quickly and accurately and with much force.

But how does any of that last save you, per se? Do they already know where you are?

The last show I watched was 'Thundercats'... but that was a good while ago. Regardless, either I'll be OK, since you would have thought that having Lion-O and pals on your side would be a good thing, or I'll be royally screwed, since talking bipedal cats with superduper martial arts skills aren't something that exists in reality.
Or maybe they do, and THEY have been hiding the Truth from us for years...

First time playing Assassin's Creed Origins did not go so well, I ended up murdering a lot more people than I intended while looking for soft leather.
Apparently that's found on gazelles and not people.
Lesson learned.
Also, when you smash one little statue apparently everyone gets all pissy about it.

Drejk, I always wanted to see these guys statted up.
Not enough information. (I haven't watched Guyver)
You might want to check CthulhuTech, as one of the possible character types is based on Guyver.

I mean, I thought it was pretty clear that they're a synthesist summoner.
EDIT: Focus all their "spells" on self-buffs and melee attacks of various sorts. I think I've only ever seen one Guyver film, though (mmmmaaayybe two or three, but I can't say for sure), so, you know. Limited knowledge of stuff.

these little videos are actually VERY well done, give lots of information as well as pictures. I dont know about the "this creature has 10 times the strength of a normal human being" though, I don't think they have a strength of 100, but a strength modifier of 10(strength of 30?) might be cool.

Strength 100 is not ten times the strength of a man, the ability score scaling doesn't work that way anyway.

EDIT: hah! Ninja’d by a dragon!
“10 times” is exceptionally variable in what, exactly, that means. At Str 27, that’s “10 times” the carrying capacity of a STR 10 human. On the other hand, a Str 19 with ant haul does the same thing.
As for point buy, we could parse our the basics: 15 points *10=150 points. Normal point buy wouldn’t allow it, but presuming putting it all into point buy, that’s,
1:11
2:12
3:13
5:14
7:15
10:16
13:17
17:18
21:19
26:20
31:21
37:22
43:23
50:24
57:25
65:26
73:27
82:28
91:29
101:30
111:31
122:32
133:33
145:34
157:35
Obviously 157 is too many, and 145 too low, but 34-35 is a solid strength score!
You pointed out “up ten increments” instead of actual *10, so there’s that.
Another option: looking at modifiers as a spectrum instead of an absolute, that’s -5 at minimum = 1. So 10 is 5, and *10 is fifty; adjust to natural modifier is +45 means... you’re back at that 100 ability score which is a bit high (and should have been obvious, considering you’re just increasing by half).
So ant haul plus 19 Str
27 Str
34-45 Str
or
100 Str
Take your pick!

We were in Theftway because their cheese department is better than the corner store's, and the shelves were perfectly well-stocked... EXCEPT the cleaning aisle, which was empty.
Leading me to wonder: Don't you normally clean your house?
No. We just shuffle things around and pretend.

So current state of events make me glad I'm a Night shift introvert who happened to purchase a big thing of toilet paper before this stuff started going down.
Yep. I checked my toilet paper supply, and figure I have enough for at least 4-6 weeks. Maybe more. Just to be safe, I was going to buy some more when I went to the store Friday night after Pathfinder, but they were completely out. I'll try again in a few days. If it comes down to it, I can most likely snag a roll or two from work.

Lol I had kind of the same back up plan but I doubt it will come up.

Well, made it through a day of work in miserable health conditions and the notification that we may be required to work *any* job we're qualified for in the store at a moment's notice (the union just threw our side of the store under the bus) which means a bunch of us could be stuck doing bagging at half the pay of the other side of the store....
Oh, and it is 'highly suggested' that we take overtime to 'help out'. With the not quite vague hint that if we don't, *mandatory overtime* will be a thing.
I'ma going to take my temp in the morning, if it's even the least bit higher than 'normal' I'm calling off.
It's the only safe and fair thing to do.
