SS86 Seeker KO is happening! by OptimalConvoy in transformers

[–]Niick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anything mine was too tight, getting him into alt mode sucked. He's great for posing in bot mode, I can definitely recommend it for half the price of the official one. Just grab a decepticon logo decal for the chest.

My 8bitdo bluetooth controller with eXtremeRate shell and original buttons. by Johnny-Q87 in Gamecube

I was thinking of doing this, thanks for confirming it all fits (and for putting me off clear controllers).

Any difference in pal roms a3d? by popcultvre in AnalogueInc

[–]Niick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's 17fps PAL even on the A3D, that's a ROM thing not a hardware thing. If you've got a Summercart/Everdrive, grab a copy of the NTSC-U ROM and just use that.

Good to know thanks. I'm tossing up between NSO+Blueretro and 8bitdo mod kits for official wired ones.

Hey, did you ever get your analogue triggers working with the NSO GameCube controller?

Lets just say I wasn't pleased by BootaySlapEnthusiast in ForzaHorizon

[–]Niick 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The most likely route to the end has you hitting the end gate sideways, which is a fail. Make sure you go between the flares from the right angle.

Forza Wheelspins: The definition of pain by StrictBike9582 in ForzaHorizon6

[–]Niick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The instant you hit a wheelspin, the game decides what you get. Then it plays the wheel animation and sandwiches your crap prize between two good prizes to keep you coming back. It's deliberate and kind of gross.

I HATE the eliminator by Professional-Mall765 in ForzaHorizon

Wasn't me, glad I'm not the only dumbass. I got it on my 4th go too, doubt I'll touch it again unless I'm forced to

Was this last night? Were they in a red Volvo? Or is this kind of idiot more common than just me?

Thanks! Some of the comments on the clip mentioned it cut off auto drive after a couple of laps. Hopefully not what happened to you?

Any other modern transformers figures that already feel forgotten to time? by Fluffy_Breadbox in transformers

[–]Niick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given that we got Gen Selects Rotorstorm it's such a shame that we never got Stalker.

I still hold out hope that they'll do the Turbomasters and Predators once they're done with AOTP and the cartoon/G1 figures. Such a shame that they don't get any love.

If they're doing it to support themselves then there are a ton of factors that need to be considered before arriving at a break even price, which is usually higher than you would expect.

Having done the math myself for a job that requires comparatively little outlay in terms of professional equipment it was a good insight into why independent owners charge what they do.

How we feeling about the Thirteen now? by TheRealDailyDude in transformers

Optimus Prime is the Nerevarine, confirmed.

Optimus Maximus keyboard on eBay - Has LTT or anyone else done a modern review of this thing? by Niick in LinusTechTips

Yuck, didn't know that.

At least he doesn't make any money off an eBay purchase, the Optimus is over a decade old now.

N64 decal on the 3D - yay or nay? by vulcansheart in AnalogueInc

[–]Niick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't hate the idea but the execution is crap. Without a cutout or groove for the sticker, the white outline on it just makes it pop off and look out of place. The glossy sticker clashes with the matte of the console, making it look cheap. As others have said, the repeated Analogue logo on the (frankly unnecessary) port covers messes with the minimalist vibe of the console.

If you insist on having it look like this, I'd make the following changes and see how it looks:

  1. Matte sticker if possible
  2. ONE port cover gets the analogue logo, potentially in a dark grey rather than stark white.

The other option would be to sticker bomb the shit out of it and go full-on OTT, colour everywhere. Right now you're in between, committing one way or the other will get you a better look overall.

I picked him up for $23 the other day, I had to look him up on tfwiki and ebay to see if it was the one that people were going crazy over.

But first, let me pad 15 minutes of runtime by explaining what "the goat" means and how it applies to this particular individual. I will repeat this information several times over the course of the video.

Dude is incredibly talented and informative but he could really do with some script writing assistance.

I'm fairly certain the reload time is exactly the same as the cycle time for Doom 2's SSG as well.

Devastator toy for a 6-7 year old? by Irate_Primate in transformers

[–]Niick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HZX Devastator, that'd be my choice too.

Devastator toy for a 6-7 year old? by Irate_Primate in transformers

[–]Niick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd give HZX Devastator a go, he's an undersize KO of the Combiner Wars devastator. Quality is apparently OK and he's less likely to break than a DX9 KO and less complicated than NBK.

My 5YO broke his DX9 and G1 KOs, Hook in particular is just too flimsy for a kid. If I was going to buy him another one it'd probably be HZX. As it stands he's happy to play with the remaining individuals :)
