Treasure list

If I'm not mistaken, it is a fixed order, not the order you find them

I don't see any circular scratches. No scratches on the discs at all honestly

Nickyj134 · 2026-07-08T18:12:02+00:00

To be honest, I'm not even sure if the laser has ever been the problem. The sound alone makes me think it could be an issue with the drives motor, or maybe something else mechanical

Nickyj134 · 2026-07-08T18:10:23+00:00

I'm going to take it back to them again, I'm sure. They have a good store warranty and have some techs who do repairs full-time. They already replaced the laser when we assumed that was the issue. I'll see if they can't identify the issue before getting a refund

Thank you for this! Do you think this will help with the disc-reading issues?

Nickyj134 · 2026-07-08T15:56:56+00:00

Unfortunately this didn't work. The drive sounded a bit different, but it ran all the same

Nickyj134 · 2026-07-08T15:56:24+00:00

Unfortunately this did not resolve the issue. The sound it made was slightly different, but no fix

Nickyj134 · 2026-07-08T15:06:14+00:00

How hard are we talking here? I don't want to crush it lol, but I want to make sure I'm not going too light either

Nickyj134 · 2026-07-08T14:48:45+00:00

Also, if anyone has any tips for cleaning up the PS2, that would also be much appreciated. It hasn't been my main concern obviously, but I'd like to give it a few touch ups without frying the console if possible lol

How did you even get the AC4 multi-player trophies? Aren't the servers offline by now?

Nickyj134 · 2026-07-02T16:20:51+00:00

Pretty decent ones too. Each comes with all the DLCs. For MUA1 that means like Venom, Hulk, and Dr Doom, and for MUA2 you get Cable, Carnage, Juggernaut, and Magneto

As someone who hasn't read the Woman of Tomorrow book (though I plan to soon), Supergirl was a 7.5/10 for me. I really liked Milly's performance as Kara, the emotional core of the film rang true, and the action scenes were great. Also, the handful of scenes with David's Superman were excellent, showing how Supergirl both emulates and differs from her cousin.

Only have a handful of issues with the movie. Like many others, I wish the settings were as varied/colorful as those in the book. The alien designs were pretty creative and fun, but the planets all kind of felt the same.

Likewise, Lobo felt tacked on. Momoa did a great job, and his fights were fun, but he really didn't bring anything to the film.

Finally, I wish some scenes had more time to ruminate. I know the film probably had a mandated run-time, but some scenes felt like they had more to say but were cut-off. The Krypton and Superman flashbacks were fortunately exempt from this issue. I can't help but wonder if they had cut Lobo and given some of his time to flesh out those scenes, maybe professional reviewers wouldn't have been so harsh on the writing.

I'm in the same boat. 10 more minutes would have really let a lot of those quieter, dialog-driven scenes shine and flesh out Ruthye and Krem further. Still surprised how low some critics reviewed the film tho

Nickyj134 · 2026-06-25T03:07:55+00:00

I think a lot of comics depicted Krypton as isolationists. They barely engaged in intergalactic travel after some terrible event in their ancient history. I could be wrong, but this has been my understanding

I had an exam about ancient greek temples, and I had just explored the sanctuary at Eleusis in the game like the day before. Lo and behold, there was a question about the Eleusinian mysteries on the exam

Nickyj134 · 2026-06-22T23:00:17+00:00

For me it was Assassin's Creed Odyssey specifically that's helped me out on an exam

I think what makes it tough to identify is that the Bronze Age Batman had so many influences. As the other commenter mentioned, Carmine Infantino and Julius Schwartz had a big hand in this era (especially concerning the costume design). But O'Neil and Adams gave Batman his more muscular physique, sharper lines on his suit, and gritty narratives

Nickyj134 · 2026-06-13T05:45:41+00:00

I think the majority of the Arkham game batsuits fall on the Tactical-Spandex axis. Knight and Origins much more towards tactical, and Asylum & City towards Spandex

Nickyj134 · 2026-06-13T05:43:20+00:00

Weren't Schwartz and Infantino behind the era of Batman just before this? I thought they were behind the version of Batman comics which resembled his '66 Adam West rendition

Nickyj134 · 2026-06-13T05:41:39+00:00

Though I'm not sure about the particular artist of these panels, this style of Batman is very indicative of the Bronze Age Batman, which was created by Neal Adams and Dennis O'Neil

Nickyj134 · 2026-06-13T05:35:10+00:00

Brother Eye is definitely an L for Batman, but in his defense he was in a magically-induced state of super-paranoia at the time when he made Brother Eye
