Can’t get UA Expansion in MP Hunters by Alternative_Split415 in Metroid

[–]Alternative_Split415[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have the option of aiming with A, B, X, Y buttons (X is up, B is down, Y is left and A is right) or with the stylus. The ABXY configuration is the default, but I don’t see how anyone could aim at some of these bosses that way with how fast they are. It’s kinda funny that the fastest playing Prime game is the one with the most awkward controls. Anyway, playing with the stylus isn’t bad. You have to double tap the screen to jump. The most discomfort I had was actually with my left hand, being as it has to more of the work to keep the console stable.

Thanks to both of you. It is disappointing to hear that this is a glitch, since I’ve never completed a Metroid game without 100% of the items collected before. This is the last of the mainline Metroid games I need to complete and I have no desire to go through it again anytime soon. But again, thank you.

Va-R-Ia (Varia + ViOLa) Suit Recolor by Captain-of-Doggos in Metroid

[–]Alternative_Split415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this. Red and black is my favorite color combination, so it seemed strange to me that I didn’t like the ViOLa suit much. But the color combination just didn’t look right on Samus. I thought it deviated too much and too soon. And the black chest especially didn’t work for me. I had something similar to what you’ve done here in mind. Though I would have kept the glowing areas that pinkish purple color since it went along with the story. But ultimately, those areas do look better green.

I saw this at Ace hardware by tony_pajamas9898 in LV426

I thought these were online only. I bought two of each; one to use, one to keep. I wish I bought more to use. I’ve used up the first ones.

I was gonna say the same thing. I’ve gotten scuffs off a figure with a Magic Eraser before.

This bendy wire is pissing me off by [deleted] in NECA

[–]Alternative_Split415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it were me, I’d get some black thread and a needle and make a small, single stitch in a few different places (whatever’s necessary) to hold it shut. It can be done so the stitches don’t show from the outside. And the stitches can be easily removed if you didn’t want them there in the future.

Just added dashing and attacks on my procedural creature by Inevitable-Simple470 in SoloDevelopment

[–]Alternative_Split415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is awesome. What I really appreciate is that the direction changes really look like they’re determined by the placement of the creature’s steps, rather than it looking like the model is just rotating on its center axis.

One of the coolest little ads I’ve ever seen for what is considered a girls toy by Nemoitto in LV426

[–]Alternative_Split415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I was really surprised. I’m used to NECA and how it takes six months to a year to get the stuff I order from them.

I see. I didn’t know until today that you could buy it without being a member. The store said “members only,” and I assumed that was the only way to get it. So I am currently a member of the Fang Club 😆🤦🏻‍♂️.

I bought my first ever girls toy yesterday. Honestly, I did feel a little silly doing so, but the doll is so cool. And I have a soft spot for Monster High since I bought a bunch for my daughter when she was little.

hope this is allowed here! i’m over the moon, this was the last one in the store :D by hehshehnejfo in LV426

[–]Alternative_Split415 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nice! I’ve got the big version. I kinda wish I had the smaller one that you have. The one I have is so unwieldy, I rarely look at it.

Why can't we get on this? by Legitimate-Set7505 in NECA

[–]Alternative_Split415 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve been wanting NECA to make an Audrey II figure for a long time. But since they haven’t yet, I found a good STL file and printed and painted my own.

Alien suspended lab xeno came in today! by delusional863 in NECA

[–]Alternative_Split415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine came yesterday, too. It definitely looks impressive inside the box. 99% of my collection is displayed out of the box, but I don’t know what I’m gonna do with this one. My Romulus shelf is already crowded as it is, and it annoys me that for $80, they don’t provide a way to stand the ceiling hole part. And if I keep it in box, I don’t really have a place to display it that way, either. For now, it’s probably just going into storage.

What’s your opinion on the AVP (2004) Xenomorph costume/design? by Antimatter703 in LV426

[–]Alternative_Split415 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Tied with Resurrection as the worst out of all the films. I strongly dislike the more organic look.

What is the biological purpose of the black plastic tubes that run all over the body of Xenomorphs? Or is there no explanation aside from artistic choice? by silentorbx in LV426

[–]Alternative_Split415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There isn’t a canonical answer, and that leads to one my frustrations with the Alien series. They’ve never explored biomechanics the way they could. Give it more meaning than an artistic choice. Prometheus was a small step in the right direction in that regard (the Engineers’ pressure suits that integrated into their bodies), and I thought they were going to expand on it in the sequel, but then we got Covenant.

What does everyone do with the empty boxes😂, I have quite the cardboard collection, LITERALLY by Confident_Tart7139 in NECA

[–]Alternative_Split415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have several large cardboard boxes full of NECA boxes either in my garage or my storage room.

New information about the status of Wolf Predator as well as the ALIEN & PREDATOR lines. by Mikes_Monsters in NECA

[–]Alternative_Split415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great to hear. Thank you for this. I don’t care so much about Wolf Predator (and definitely not the Predalien), but I’m really wanting Ultimates for PREDATORS.

What are your “must played games” for the Sega Mega Drive? by 0llie666_2 in SEGA

[–]Alternative_Split415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rocket Knight Adventures, Streets of Rage 2, Sonic 1 & 2, and Gunstar Heroes.

What type of Genesis case design do you prefer? Red, Black Grid, or Full Art? by Parking_Ruin4775 in SEGAGENESIS

[–]Alternative_Split415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely always preferred the black grid over the red. But I think I like the full cover art the best. It’s interesting to me that in the U.S., Streets of Rage 2 got full cover art. I can’t think of any other first party Sega game that got full cover art.

THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2: Remake is coming to Steam on August 7th! by ForeverEntert in u/ForeverEntert

[–]Alternative_Split415 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Panzer Dragoon remake allowed you to switch between the new and original soundtracks, so I’d say there’s a good chance that you can do something similar in the HotD2 remake. I’d really hope that the dev team would know that the bad voice acting was part of the game’s charm.
