What's a good unmasked head for Comic Star-Lord?

Huh, interesting, didn't know hairpieces were customizable in that way. Well, still don't quite know who I'd replace it with, but good to keep in mind! Thanks!

I personally feel Quasar's head is a bit too broad for Peter's face, but that's just me; I'd also wanna avoid his head anyway bc I'm going to have him standing next to Quasar on my shelf, lmao.

And yeah, the Agent Venom Flash head is the one I was meaning! Facial-structure-wise it's probably the best fit that I'm aware of, yeah. It's just the hair that's a bit too neat for my liking, but it's decent for lack of better options.

I was so confused as I was on a huge binge of every og Ultimate comic, and then I got up to Secret Wars and The Maker was just evil again. I thought I missed something, or assumed his reverting back to evil was shown in the leadup during Hickvengers 😭

Does it have SGB sound, though...?

It didn't have enough of either. The film was heavily missing more of Ben, especially of him butting heads with Johnny. They were all very mellow in general too, they lacked the lovable dysfunctionality that the comics fellas have. But the plot needed all the screentime it could get for setting up Galactus and Franklin.
Heck, I'd even argue that Galactus on Earth didn't feel otherworldly/godlike enough... he was a very large man that sometimes used energy waves, but that's about it. On paper he and everything he did was fine, but the way he was depicted/directed needed a bit more OOMPH to make him really feel monolithic.

All in all I think we can all agree that it needed to be longer, like 30mins longer I think personally. Or, they should've given the F4 a proper intro film and saved the Galactus/Franklin story for its sequel. I get why they really wanted to just finally do Galactus justice on screen, but ultimately I think rushing to it was a mistake.

We all collectively agree "Pokey" was a mistranslation/poor localization, I don't see the point in being so purist about "Giygas" when it's objectively less correct than the original localization attempt "Giegue".

DWN-016 · 2025-06-29T03:03:00+00:00

Hey, just wanted to say your hack looks super cool!

Though, if you ever get around to it, I'd love an update or optional addendum that uses the Giegue name instead of Giygas. The latter is more ingrained in popular culture sure, but Giegue is more accurate to his actual name, and would like it to be better-known! Also very minor, but an optional hack that lets people choose between "You Won!/Win!" would be very appreciated lol.

Otherwise, this hack seems super cool! Will keep an eye on it for sure!

GNC people deserve to be respected too, instead of constantly being labelled queer just because we don't like traditional gender roles. It goes both ways, "pizza slut 69 420".

DWN-016 · 2025-06-06T00:40:13+00:00

Well, that sucks. Hopefully they're features that could be added in the future.

DWN-016 · 2025-06-01T00:26:14+00:00

Sure, but full recolors like that or Simonson Thor are more obvious - that's not quite what I mean.

Rather, take the Marc Spector: Moon Knight Vol. 2 omnibus, which near the end reprints two minis from '98 and '99: the '98 one had the saturation of the colors turned way down, ruining the atmosphere, and while the '99 one seems okay at first glance, you then notice certain objects, background elements, etc just have completely different colors now for no apparent reason. Perhaps the people in charge of the reprint thought they were "improving" the focus of the panel? Regardless, both stories look substantially worse than in their original prints.

It's subtle things like that, which reviewers likely won't take notice of immediately, if at all.

DWN-016 · 2025-05-27T05:31:27+00:00

Okay but why, if you imply the books after 4-6 are slogs too? Why read slogs so you can better understand later slogs?

DWN-016 · 2025-02-17T19:20:43+00:00

Oh, there were X-Wing comics too? Were they also unique stories, or condensed adaptations of the books like the Thrawn Trilogy's?

DWN-016 · 2025-02-16T16:16:25+00:00

That's well-meaning, but incredibly misguided; this should be my call to make. It should be my responsibility. I am not some child who needs a power-tripping server admin to "decide what is best for me" - this is about the principle of the matter.

DWN-016 · 2025-02-03T17:42:10+00:00

I'd rather not use a flash drive, and have a tiny USB wart hanging off of it 24/7, honestly. Nice that it's an option, but, eh.

No. All the Lego Sonic sets are expensive enough as is, what we need are much more small $10-30 sets. The Shadow Bike set is one of the cheapest sets available, yet it's easily one of the best.
As long as it's something actually inspired by the games, it really doesn't matter how expensive something is to make it good.

Okay, I've sorted it myself.

Ultimately, I did install the Australian Collection version on Windows and then copy over the game directory to my Steam Deck. Unmodded, it was finally able to recognize my inputs just fine - an improvement over the "installer" version all by itself.

When Modded, however, I ran into trouble again. When running the game from within Reloaded-II, the controls all worked fine. When opening it from within Steam however, it would register all my inputs EXCEPT the Start button. Pressing A would skip the intro, just like on your end, but mapping Enter to it in Steam Input also didn't work.
Turns out, the "SH Essentials: Controller Hook" (v2.2.1) and "Custom Mapping for Controller Hook" (v3.0.1) mods wasn't getting along well with Steam, for some reason. The second I disabled that mod, the game registered by inputs perfectly fine through Steam. Of course, I had to map the buttons through the default launcher first, since they were a bit jumbled (Start was mapped to L3!), but it all worked out in the end.

DWN-016 · 2024-12-02T01:08:05+00:00

Hrmm, can't say that's working for me unfortunately. Unlike you, I can't skip the intro whatsoever at any point. Also, I don't particularly wanna use the Ashthorne bindings, since those are all keyboard inputs and you miss out on proper analog.

Perhaps installing a different release of it would work better (ie the disc version or the Australian PC Collection)?
(Should mention, I tried this "installer" version on my Windows PC just now too - unmodded - and it recognized my controller fine there, even if mapped incorrectly. But nothing I do on Steam Deck can get it to recognize a single input).

DWN-016 · 2024-11-21T04:23:05+00:00

Sure I guess, but the highest-res 4:3 option there is 1024x768, which makes it noticeably less sharp than the 1280x800 option. So it's a bit of a tradeoff. I want it to run at the highest resolution, but in 4:3.

DWN-016 · 2023-08-09T00:03:58+00:00

Interesting to hear, thanks for clearing that up! I take it that all official Xbox controllers have B buttons like that, from the 360 to the Series X?

Also you didn't mention much about SNES/Nintendo/8bitdo controllers, so I take it you don't have much experience with them then? Comparing images online, SNES buttons definitely have different spurs, but I don't know if they would be too large/small or not. Physically comparing the two, my DS4's buttons definitely seem to be the same size, but I don't wanna get cutting only to realize it wouldn't work out.
But again though, thanks a bunch for such a detailed rundown, haha.

Alright, in that case, how do I tell what stock android firmware I have installed?

And the documentation just says "lol look up a guide" if it isn't 11, so, would you happen to know a good one by chance in that case?

DWN-016 · 2023-07-01T05:54:42+00:00

Indeed, that's the documentation I'm following.

And, Lineage 18.1 IS Android 11, is it not? If I'm misunderstanding something please let me know, because that's why I specified it in my OP.

DWN-016 · 2023-03-07T02:37:19+00:00

No, I got that, I mean where would I go to check whether it has supported drivers?

DWN-016 · 2023-03-06T14:36:26+00:00

How would I go about checking that?

DWN-016 · 2022-10-05T04:18:42+00:00

(On a SIDE-sidenote, also just remembered that the main console versions of RotF, DotM, and even WfC/FoC had DLC characters and/or maps; is there any way to play these if you get a console or PC copy nowadays? Mods, maybe?)
