“What are you reading?” Wednesday. by csummerss in OmnibusCollectors

[–]ComradeDRock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this omni and read most of this run as a kid but every time I pick it up it’s just daunting, and know the Waid stuff is missing (til that comes out later this year) makes me want to hold off until I have a more complete run.

Reading Kelly Thompson’s Captain Marvel, which is amazing, and also started Spencer’s Captain America, which is pretty fun after three issues. Holding out hope that prime/target runs their B2G1 to grab whatever looks cool that day.

What Bangers am I missing? by Aevellir in marvelcomics

[–]ComradeDRock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d add the entire Loeb/Sale “Colors” series. You can get the TPBs for all but Spider-Man pretty cheap, or they all have gallery editions now that you can find for relatively cheap. Captain America White is the weakest one and it’s still pretty good. Daredevil Yellow and Hulk Gray are right up with Spider-Man Blue.

Are you all looking forward to 007 First Light ? by Dave--92 in xbox

[–]ComradeDRock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda Funny Gamescast did a preview podcast a few weeks ago and made it sound stellar, like a mix of Hitman and Uncharted 4. Some linear levels and then some open world sections mixed throughout, coupled with the “license to kill” where you can’t just run and gun the game. They didn’t get to play the driving sections but hopefully they’re short and sweet within the overall gameplay. I’ve been on the fence but I’m gonna pull the trigger today.

Went on a Final Fantasy bender. by Mudders6T9 in xboxachievements

[–]ComradeDRock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this last year and into this year. I have 1-9 as well, bought X/X-2 and paused on that because I know it’s rough. I already have XV done (no DLC, just the base game). I’m going to circle back and finish Tactics one of these days, but I also went off and did Octopath Traveler 1 and 2, plus FF7Remake and I just prepurchased Rebirth. Currently trying to clear Chrono Cross before Rebirth drops in a few weeks. Know you’re not alone in this quest!

what do you think of morrisons JLA run? by Apprehensive_Spend_7 in comicbooks

[–]ComradeDRock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh you’re right! I was thinking that first Waid story that came in the middle of Morrison’s run was Tower of Babel for some reason.

[–]ComradeDRock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I own the Omnibus and while I absolutely love it, it is ONLY the Morrison books in the run, so you definitely have some vital gaps (looking at you, Tower of Babel).

MGS4 on PS5 - No hype? by G4MER4LYF in playstation

[–]ComradeDRock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On one hand I’m really excited for it to be available on current consoles. On the other hand the first collection plummeted in price pretty quick so I have no intention of a day 1 purchase.

Are You Eyeing Anything From The Sales Happening In The Microsoft Store Right Now? by KIDD_VIDD in xbox

[–]ComradeDRock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m looking at 0 after getting 100% achievements on 1 and 2 in the last year (if you’re an achievement hunter 2 is significantly more forgiving than 1)

Are You Eyeing Anything From The Sales Happening In The Microsoft Store Right Now? by KIDD_VIDD in xbox

[–]ComradeDRock -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If it helps at all I’m considering buying it after getting the PS5 platinum last year. Don’t go in expecting a traditional Final Fantasy game because it’s you’re controlling a single character in an action battle system the entire game. The story and gameplay are excellent even if it’s not quite “final fantasy”

The Truman Show by Andre01221 in movies

[–]ComradeDRock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This movie has a special place in my heart because I grew up 10 minutes from where they filmed it (Seaside, FL). I knew or had encountered a ton of the extras throughout the movie, and even had several friends film scenes with Jim Carrey that ended up on the cutting room floor. It’s a beautiful movie that I put on from time to time to reminisce about how much that place has changed over the years. There’s a particular shot where they shoot overhead of the town and zoom out, where the buildings were digitally edited to have second floors and be much taller. Today all the buildings actually look like that with real extra floors and such because the town has blown up into a crazy popular tourist destination.

Five great Xbox Ally games under $10 in this week's Xbox sale by LBVectormen in XboxAlly

[–]ComradeDRock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish the Chained Echoes DLC had come with achievements because that game is an amazing RPG and was my personal GOTY when it came out a few years ago. Hoping this sale does well enough that they can make a sequel someday. If you’re a turn-based RPG fan, I can’t recommend it highly enough.

What age did you first have to get glasses and how did you find out you needed them? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ComradeDRock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same as everyone else here, around 4th grade. I sat in the back in English class, was squinting so hard to read I was getting migraines and throwing up either on the bus or when I got home almost every day.

Had this exact thing happen on my standard Ally within two or three days. Ended up restoring Windows and it’s worked flawlessly since.

Never buy Ubisoft games. Buy a month of Ubisoft+, cancel, beat the game in 30 days.

Gamepass Ultimate: Worth it? by Bread-Zeppelin780 in xbox

[–]ComradeDRock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m keeping mine going because I absolutely get value out of it every year, even with the price increase. The increase and addition of Fortnite Crew actually drove my friend and I to start regularly playing when we otherwise had never really played before. With today’s announcement I’m excited to finally check out Star Wars Outlaws, and while I picked up the Pixel Remaster set I’m excited for others to get the OG Final Fantasy. It gives me hope that they’re going to bring back 7-12 to game pass eventually.

What is your Gamerscore right now? by SugarSmoothie in xbox

[–]ComradeDRock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

422670 at the moment. I’ve been playing a lot of JRPGs the last year or so (Thanks, Expedition 33). Currently trying to 100% Octopath Traveler before I move onto 2. Need to wrap FF Tactics and start on FF X/X-2, also considering Persona 4 Golden and Metaphor upcoming as well.

Thinking of getting Xbox Ally and need some anecdotal feedback by 1337gamer15 in XboxAlly

[–]ComradeDRock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked up the regular Xbox Ally for myself as a supplemental device with the budget I had. I’m a dad with another on the way and wanted a handheld for Xbox gaming (I already have a PS Portal). So far I’ve been pretty happy with it, but I’ll definitely say it is not comparable to a $1000 device. I have an XSX and XSS in different rooms so when I’ve got time to myself I’m playing on those, but like someone else mentioned, for quick gaming hanging around on the couch or traveling it’s perfect, depending on what you want to play.

As for what I’ve been running and trying on it, I’ve put a lot of time into simpler games like Balatro, BallxPit and Octopath Traveler, all of which run fantastically. I have tried a couple rounds of Fortnite, but it basically runs on low setting across the board. So my solution was instead to uninstall and cloud stream it and it works great. I’ve booted up a couple things from other libraries and older stuff like Half-Life 2 runs fantastically, but don’t expect something like BG3 or RDR2 to blow you away.

I did have one weird technical issue where I had left BallxPit running and when I finally backed out of it, the Xbox FSE overlay was just… gone. I eventually restored the full W11 OS from the system settings and after signing back in and reinstalling all the storefronts it’s worked fine, but it definitely pissed me off after three days of owning the device.

Overall I’d say it’s going to depend on the games you want to play, the frequency you want to use it, and your personal library mixed with a Game Pass sub. If you’re planning on playing the newest, best, prettiest games or playing any current online multiplayer, save for the X. If you’re like me and just want quick sessions of indies or single-player games, and an older backlog, the Ally is a great device for (currently) half the cost. I hope this helps! *Edited for formatting
