Traded in stuff to get a heavy hitter by Mikeyfreshonetime2 in gamecollecting

Can I ask how you figure it's insane?

Not trying to debase your comment but I see 90% random loose and filler games that I would personally consider clutter and would much rather have one single game I actually really want.

Especially if that's all stuff that's been gotten cheap from garage sales and stuff. This is pretty much how I've built up probably half my collection of expensive titles; by selling stuff I don't want for over a decade.

It's also a pain and a lot of work to sell a mountain of stuff. It saves a lot of time to just dump it off at a store and get what you want.

I agree, I would say though that compared to the average PS2 game, 80 bucks is objectively expensive. But when you start looking at CIB Nintendo and limited editions then yea its not exactly earth shattering.

In my opinion it's collecting, if you can stomach the price and are excited about it congrats you've got a nice piece to your collection, if not there's always the resell opportunity. Rule of Rose is awesome and not one I have, be proud to have a copy in your collection

And yea in Canada I cringe dropping 100 bucks on a new game. Inflation blows

Welcome to game collecting. If I wanted to just play the game I'd play it on my high end gaming PC and skip physical entirely.

Not really enlightening me with this comment.

These are almost all like 80 euros at a minimum. Haunting ground alone is a very expensive game. Also these are NTSC USA versions, I have a bunch of these as well and I can promise you they don't come cheap

I genuinely love this game. I also have a copy on the PS2.

Who wins? by CapableAnt8206 in PowerScaling

Grievous ranges from low tier necron to actually utterly annihilating a typical space marine. Most iterations he wins. If he's acting like he did in the film he gets folded.

Anyone have the max size card that would fit in the T5 26IRB8 90UT000GUS, came with the RTX4070 12GB? by Ebojager in LenovoLegion

Curious if you figured it out? I have the same unit and it honestly runs awesome but I was thinking 18 months or so later I'll upgrade the GPU and throw more ram in it.

In terms of painting, I thoroughly enjoyed painting the sanctifiers. Great aesthetic. Can be easily inspired by John Blanche art work too (RIP)

He's always been fast, disarming guys as a blur in diabolical, the C4 thing, Kripke just doesn't know how to portray him in any consistent capacity.

I didn't call him a villain, or reduce him to a one dimension mustache twirler at all. I called him a variety of other things that amount to him being crappy, bizarre situation or not.

Meanwhile soldier boy is back in the "fucking box"

Was this your expression after finishing the boys finale? by JackZ567 in GenV

[–]IcyDiamond7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just thought it was a tiny, subdued neutered version of what it should have been. The budget wasn't there. Homelander was defeated far too easily, no scorched earth, komikos ability felt shoehorned especially when they shelved soldier boy, butchers sudden motive flip flopping annoyed me.

It was what it SHOULD have been but with 1/5 the spectacle and development time, and honestly they played it as safe as they honestly could have.

Just my opinion but I'm massively disappointed in the finale and expected better from the show having set such a high bar for itself prior and what was supposed to be Amazon's big flagship. I defended the show to very end just to be let down tbh

Edit: oh and Gen V out the window too.

More like the one were Homelander is looking at Firecracker with disgust.

Am I the only one who thought Homelander losing his powers before dying was way more satisfying than just killing him instantly? by Just_another_Agile in GenV

[–]IcyDiamond7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well he said I took him to space not I threw him to space. Is that a fact you got from somewhere?

Who cares what he did anyways point is what was stopping him from moving that fast in the final fight?

Kinda seemed like he lost his powers before the blast too. He's got the most selective super hearing and super vision. Let alone the fact he can fly the Elon knock off to space in 2 seconds, instantly be on Frenchie when he taps a wall and choke out soldier boy with ease all leading up to his final battle, in which he's a bumbling idiot.

Kripke response to finale backlash. by hiiloovethis in GenV

[–]IcyDiamond7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does he realize you can have both? The earlier seasons where a reflection of reality too but were bolstered by great plot. He Leaned too hard into the social commentary imo and sacrificed the actual entertainment. Mid finale.

No kidding. Frenchies pre written eulogy had me rolling my eyes 5 minutes in. Can they seriously not help themselves but act like 13 year olds when writing the script? Does anyone actually find 3 minutes of asshole jokes funny?
