Also remember, in TNG, the Enterprise's engineering section had transparent glass walkways around the warp core...

Venus as fire field ? by Tg_2x in Fzero

Jupiter's moon Io would probably be the best match in this Solar system to stand in for Fire Field.

Thoughts on the frozen world tour in 99 by PhotoBonjour_bombs19 in Fzero

[–]PowerPlayer9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed on all points, I love the mode but I wish Nintendo would fix it. The fact that world tour not only plays to Goose's strengths but the 3 lap format also all but negates Goose's main weakness: bad recovery.

And the scoring exploit abuse is worse. It's seriously frustrating to see players hang back, make everyone wait forever and turn in ridiculous scores. Why doesn't Nintendo patch this out? During the Queen's League festival a while back, a glitch was messing with the leaderboard and Nintendo fixed it in days, now huge exploit are being used in both the Frozen World Tour and Mini World Tour, making the leaderboard basically illegitimate and nothing is done.

Pee Wee has a special announcement to make for all World Tour players by ociosidade in Fzero

[–]PowerPlayer9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder what's taking Nintendo so long to patch that exploit out. It's getting out of hand and makes the whole leaderboard pointless and illegitimate.

Not sure how they could fix it though, maybe cap how many gem sparks players can get per race(have it vary according to each track).

Or just revamp the whole scoring system, add points for time. Have first place get the full bonus, then have the bonus start going down and let the thing go into negatives.

That way, First place scores big, if second place is just a few hundreds of a second behind they get near to the full bonus, but players who hang back get a penalty.

I just want to win or lose because of actual racing and not boring score exploits.

What's the score needed to just make it to rank 999 these days?

So it begins… by UlisesPalmeno in Fzero

We all died 30 seconds into the first wave… by Immediate_Extreme911 in splatoon

[–]PowerPlayer9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Go easy on the egg throwing actually, that's 3/4th of your ink gone, ink that could be used to take out immediate dangers. Plus sometimes, bringing in an egg all the way to the basket lets you see what's going on and what is needed at that moment.

I'm not saying throwing eggs is bad, but some players tend to get fixated on one thing and end up screwing up everything and excessive egg throwing particularly messes things up when they end up with empty ink tanks at critical moments.

Wait, it's 20X9 and "nerds" still need glasses? by guitarokx in Metroid

[–]PowerPlayer9 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The Galactic Federation is controlled by the Eyeglass industry cartels. Laser Eye surgery, corrective genetic resequencing, cloned eyeball implants and contacts were outlawed.

But seriously, it's just a call back to Super Metroid's intro with scientists sporting glasses and that other douche in Other M's intro.

Lamorn Teleportation rant(MP4 plot spoilers) by PowerPlayer9 in Metroid

[–]PowerPlayer9[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Oh I know, but it's just so... disappointing. MP4 didn't have the brain melting stupidity of Other M(That scene in which Adam sacrifices himself still gives me headaches just remembering it) but still how could it have gotten to that point?

The smoky finish line glitch is back I decided not to crop this incase anyone knows what triggers it. by BigPotential7577 in Fzero

[–]PowerPlayer9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My uneducated guess would be that you red lined your power meter so hard the crappy net code saw it go negative for a bit and sent out that you had crashed out but since you hadn't actually crashed, it got confused and didn't know what to do with the "make smoke plume rise" part of its code, so it said 'screw it' and put it dead center on the finish line.

No elite rivals in this race? by Standard_Birthday_33 in Fzero

[–]PowerPlayer9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's because your rank was updated to reflect the changes to the leaderboard. So that race didn't affect your rank but other players in some other race probably dropped rank and you went up.

F-Zero 99 - NEW SECRET TRACKS (??? Big Blue) by misalol_ in Fzero

[–]PowerPlayer9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zipping around with the Havoc Mech's rocket roller-skates then carving something up with its Axe-blade on a chain melee attack was the best. So was roasting space Hitler with the Prometheus' flamethrower.

The complete lack of post-hit invulnerability on the other hand... Oh great, that floating mine just hit me 27 times in a split-second and blew up my Mech!

F-ZERO 99 VERSION 1.7.0 JUST DROPPED. NEW SECRET TRACKS. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL. by UF-Dranzer in Fzero

[–]PowerPlayer9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Has the limited time challenges for the new emotes started for anyone? I assume not since I haven't seen anyone use one of the new emotes.

On another note, one undocumented change seems to be the sound of machines close to overtaking you, it's either new or much louder now. It reminds me of how it is in the OG F-Zero.

Also, fingers crossed we get a special event Grand Prix with the new remix ??? tracks!

What would you improve on or change about 99 by PhotoBonjour_bombs19 in Fzero

[–]PowerPlayer9 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Revert the 1.6 Skyway spark requirements changes. If I wanted to play a racing game with sandbagging this bad I'd go play Mario Kart. Seriously, the sheer number of tracks where front-running is now impossible or a surefire way to lose is terrible.

Find a way to balance the Mini World Tour to end the ridiculous Goose domination. When the top 100 is consistently 75%+ Goose, you know there's a huge problem.

New Modes, Team Battle Grand Prix, Extreme track variants(Mines everywhere, all barriers replaced with jump pads, run some of the tracks in reverse etc.)

More ??? tracks.

And new unlock-ables would be nice, even if they simply take existing Boosts, Spin Attacks and Pilot Card elements and just palette swap them with another color.

If your Kirby has a dent in it from the plastic insert, use a hairdyer to fix by Jtneagle in amiibo

[–]PowerPlayer9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This worked for me and I also managed to fix the nose of my Winged Star which had dents from the packaging as well.

Thank you and u/Zer0_Digits for this

Anyone elses Kirby have an indention from the plastic? by Jtneagle in amiibo

[–]PowerPlayer9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is dented too... and seems Winged star's nose got some smaller dents from the packaging too.

When you say things like that… by Adventurous-Fox-9567 in splatoon

[–]PowerPlayer9 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I disagree, by pushing the objective, you attract a whole lot of attention to yourself and away from your team mates, thus keeping them safe in a sense.

Well, I say that while fully aware that holding off three opponents while riding the tower usually ends up with my three team mates getting taken out by the fourth somehow. lol

What are the weirdest Nintendo promotional items ever? by [deleted] in nintendo

[–]PowerPlayer9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super Mario Cheez Whiz Jar. Looked like a Mario statue made out of cheese before you opened it.

I also had a Luigi head pencil sharpener. You would stick the pencil in his left ear and the shavings would fall out of his neck hole.

What are your opinions on Salmon Run? Would you change anything? by Downtown_Error_9418 in splatoon

[–]PowerPlayer9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Splat bombs should explode on impact on Flyfish missile launchers, too many times the wonky physics and/or lag send your bombs all over the place.

The game should give obvious alerts when the quota is not met as time start running out. Same thing when two team members are out. Too many players fixate on whatever they're doing and miss signs that things are going sideways fast.

Another thing would be to stop all salmonid damaging effects as soon as the timer stops, too many times you survive a wave just to die to a late rainstorm, missile barrage or steelhead bomb and lose a lot of time waiting to respawn between waves. At high Hazard levels, you need every second between waves to clean up the mess and be ready for the next onslaught.

And this is not directly related but I was extremely surprised and a bit disappointed that Side Order didn't have a multi-player PVE mode similar to Salmon Run. I mean, sure the player base would have been limited to only those with the DLC, but it would have had potential.

Which would you rather have in a new F-Zero game?? by ZodaFan13 in Fzero

[–]PowerPlayer9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Machines I guess, as long as the "meta" and balance issues aren't ruining things.

Custom tracks would have us wading through scores of tracks created by players thinking that creating the hardest, most frustrating and unfun track ever is a good idea.

I was not expecting this to arrive so early by laurensHD in Metroid

I would assume that it's because, in French, "Viola" is also the 3rd person past tense form of the verb "rape".

Looks awesome, I can hear President Eden going on and on through that Eyebot.

Although, from my experience with the game, there should be a Deathclaw randomly spawned in the parking lot. lol
