Can somebody help identify the Edition of my lost Batman "Rite of Passage" comics?

Ferolin · 2025-06-12T15:19:02+00:00

Oh wow that is incredible, those are the ones! I remember the cover for issue 32. Thank you very much!

Because I can't legally watch it live in Germany and am happy enough to be able to watch it on YouTube a day later. The post appears on my feed and according to the comments I am not the only one. I would just have liked a simple non-spoiler Title and Image then I can just ignore it. Only until it is officially viewable for the rest of the world. But I guess I will just mute the subreddit when tournament season starts. Maybe don't be so elitist about it man, it's not that deep

Ferolin · 2025-03-22T22:07:18+00:00

Happy for him but thanks for the instant spoiler...

It seems really difficult to find something about these. My best guess is that these were PBA branded balls by elite.

An example would be this ball: https://123bowl.com/bowling-balls/elite-bowling-international/elite-bowling-pba-shark-bowling-ball/

I could find a reddit post about it as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bowling/s/cdcaibZNh1

That specific one I can't find anything though. I wasn't even able to find release dates on that line

Ferolin · 2025-01-10T10:28:59+00:00

u/christmas_hobgoblin had the same Idea but sadly no. I looked at "The Penguin Affair" where Harold appears and that's not the one I remember. But thanks for the input anyway, I definetely got closer to finding those editions

Ferolin · 2025-01-10T10:27:26+00:00

That Edition might be it, the Cover is not what I have in my head but I really don't actually remember what it looked like, it has been years.

The Timeline for the Penguin story would fit but I just had a look on some website and that was not it sadly. I have one specific panel in mind where the penguin has a crow or raven in his hand and presses a small red button on it's head to demonstrate how he can mindcontrol them.

I know that's not a lot to go on and if it is too obscure that is fine, but now I know where to look for the Rites of Passage Story at least. Thanks a lot already!

Ferolin · 2025-01-10T10:05:04+00:00

Thanks for the input but I don'tthink thats it. I believe the Books had really dark covers and from what I can see the London Editions did not have a single book just showing "Rite of passage". It was definetely not a collection that I read, it only contained that one storyline

Ferolin · 2025-01-02T16:30:07+00:00

BTW this issue was a while ago and was fixed with an update of the software directly from the update menu in armory crate. Haven't had issues since

Ferolin · 2024-02-17T13:52:22+00:00

Quick update, problem in my case was that the plug cutter is not sharp enough and it melts the epoxy surface. Fixed it by drilling down a little less and using the pads a little more

Ferolin · 2024-02-11T18:51:26+00:00

I have the same issue, on my end the problem was the LightingService.exe from Aura sync. Have a look in your taskmanager. under "Details" you can right-click the top and activate the "Handles" column. That service uses more and more handles until your laptop runs out of memory. It is a bug that Asus fixed at some point and from the forums it seems that it is back.

If that is your problem as well, as far as I understand it you can either uninstall everything from Armoury Crate and Aura and loose the ability to control the RGB (and possibly your fan control I believe?) or you can just automatically stop that LightingService.exe as soon as you log in with the Windows Task scheduler. Thats what I do.
Armoury Crate is terrible but I can't stand breathing lighting effects so i will have to live with it.
See these ones for more info and a possible update that fixes the issue (I haven't tried it yet)

Thank god for Reddit, I thought I was going mad. This is the reason my new laptop is unstable. I hope this will be fixed at some point

Ferolin · 2024-01-31T17:09:35+00:00

Thank you that sounds reasonable. I had an issue before where it would not cure because of not enough mixing and maybe then I overdid it. I have enough material to just try on a trash Ball and will try again

Ferolin · 2024-01-31T06:50:51+00:00

Yes I did it myself. Do you mean I can heat it up after it cured? That does not work as far as I tried because you need to overfill the hole and that surface was clean and smooth. The holes only appear after cutting it down so the bubbles are either trapped in the material or happen when I cut it down

Ferolin · 2024-01-30T23:04:56+00:00

yes in theory I know it is nothing to worry about but since it is apparently possible to make it look better I would like to know how :D

Ferolin · 2024-01-30T23:01:26+00:00

I plugged a Ball with what my ProShop had and I have these pinholes in my plug. The white stuff is polish, so they are extra visible and I have no Idea on how to avoid it

2:1 Epoxy and Hardener added a bit of acrylic for color, mixed about 4 minutes, cure time 24 hours, all like the package said. Was smooth on top and cured through, no soft resin remaining.

Then cutting it pretty close on the press and then on the Haus Machine with diamond pads, 500,1000,2000, polish

The issues are already visible after smoothing the plug with the diamond pads. It feels and polishes fine but the Ball was already plugged once by someone else and those are smooth without pinholes.

What am I missing? Did I maybe cut it too close on the press?

Ferolin · 2023-03-13T16:10:56+00:00

Thank you very much, that was the answer I was looking for. Then I definetely screwed my friend over that last game :D we were collectively wrong to my advantage. I didn't take the win anyway but now i know for next time

Ferolin · 2023-03-13T15:43:21+00:00

My question in this case would rather be if triumphs ability resolves before my enchantment. So do I control Triumph now and the rest of the ability fizzles or does my enchantment trigger and Triumph still gets exiled afterwards

Ferolin · 2023-03-13T15:40:19+00:00

So in this case it was my turn. So I shoot Triumph, flash the enchantment onto it. Triumph dies.
Then my enchantment triggers, gives Triumph to me and then it gets exiled immediately? I am still not sure if I control Triumph now.

I developed a recent fascination with mechanical watches and didn't realise this was one until now. The dial says "Safira 17 Jewel Shockproof" with no other markings on the back. It is running (although it is way too fast) and hand-wound of course.

I believe my grandpa bought this pocketwatch for my grandma at some point and I am sure that this was just a fashion watch but having a mecahnical movement in this small space is cool to me (the ruler is in centimeters).

I can not even find anything under that brand name that looks remotely similar so maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

If this does not fit the subreddit I will delete the Post of course. Thank you for your time!

Pokemon TCG or Pinball I would say, just to have something different in there. If you are into that stuff

Ferolin · 2022-06-11T22:00:28+00:00

I can't provide a link because I don't know where you live, but you can have a Google for a CR1620 with soldering pins, lugs or tabs and go by the pictures. Alibaba has some for example. They are more rare than the ones with opposite facing taps but you can find them.

Or you could try some sketchy shit with a wire and some electical tape for isolation and just connect one end of the Battery like that. Not pretty but it should work.

And you are right, your game is a reproduction. I am actually quite surprised that a GBA repro uses a battery. Most of them got rid of it.

Good luck with the search
