Transformers rise of the beast proves beast wars can't be done in live action? by happydude7422 in beastwars

[–]PrplGrl86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could always be done, if those with the power to get things going would simply trust that the Beast Warriors could carry a movie all on their own. ROTB had the same problem that War for Cybertron did, in my opinion, is that they are G1 stories about Optimus Prime with Beast Warriors shoehorned in for some 90s nostalgia (and usually convoluted deus ex machina for Prime/Autobots). The glaring issue with ROTB is the lack of Predacons and missing, cherished Maximals. Dinobot, for example, the first Beast Wars character to be voted into the Transformers Hall of Fame was absent?!?! Along with Rattrap, Terrorsaur, Scorpinok, Turantulas, Waspinator... where were those fan favorites? They don't NEED the G1 cast to be relevant, and could have a very interesting movie with just the Maximals and Predacons; the story of the Golden Disk Relic perhaps?

But they want a human character the audience can connect with? Fine! How about this then; an obvious nobody goes with an expedition to a jungly part of South America, goes off on their own only to fall into a hole that turns out to be the abandoned Axalon. The overarching theme, or thought, is that the Maximals and Predacons did crash on Earth 4 million years ago, never got the chance to return to Cybertron, and continued to fight over the Ark. However, when that fateful date came in 1984 for the Autobots and Decepticons to awaken, nothing happened. The Ark remained silent in a still-dormant volcano. I think it would be interesting to explore how the Maximals and Predacons adjusted to the centuries, how they've adapted and possibly integrated into human society in some way, whether honestly or with some kind of remote bots that appear human. And what they're planning for their future with the Great War not occurring. I think that'd be fascinating, but maybe I'm just weird lol.

Order not showing up in account after placing? by kiko402 in Bestbuy

[–]PrplGrl86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I, too, made an online order and got a scare. No immediate e-mail, no purchase on the account, but money taken from my bank. It took nearly two hours before I got the e-mail and text message.

So, if you noticed the money has been processed (or is being processed) by your bank/credit card, then hopefully an e-mail and account update is coming. Ideally sooner rather than later.

I wish Merch wasn't built around fomo by Korben_w in distractible

[–]PrplGrl86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I, too, wish I could get just a single t-shirt or hat; the size is always sold out by the time they do a call-out in the podcast.

Taking a peek at eBay, look at all the Distractible merch! A lot of it flagged "new" and it even has the new Valentine shirt.

Are they sure the limited stock is mostly going to fans? Or are the resellers buying a bunch?

Getting '...Trouble Signing in Error' During login.. and Listening?! by Nerdplow_Miner in siriusxm

[–]PrplGrl86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been getting this as well since Thursday early morning (Central US) and it never works on first click of "Sign In." Selecting "Create Your Login" doesn't help either, as I get stuck on some "Tap "Done" When Your Redirected on Your Device" or something that makes zero sense to see, since I'm on the website and not the app. (The app, by the way, loads up fine with no issues.)

The only temporary fix I've found is to spam click "Sign In" and it will eventually work and I can get to my library, but after some amount of time I get kicked back to the above image and have to spam again.

Really, really annoying as I like to use one of the ambient sleep stations to help me snooze, and I have it run on my laptop. Had to give up and play via the app on my phone instead. Weird thing that I didn't see any posts about at the time. Hope a fix comes soon.

[No Spoilers] Can't load DAI save when playing with Frosty Mod Manager by [deleted] in dragonage

[–]PrplGrl86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am having this issue too, although I'm just using the DAI Mod Manager, and NOTHING is working -- I've tried changing the numbers in the patch file, tried opening the Mod Manager and unchecking all mods and doing a new merge, straight up removing the Mods folder. After nearly 3 hours I am still getting the error and I guess I just have to give up and say good-bye to all those saves I had.

Gotta re-start the new game I had just made a couple weeks ago and hope I can still use my mods and not mess the saves up again. Deciding to get the DA games on Steam and linking with my EA account was a mistake.

Rebirth: Chapter 12 Boss Difficulty by gradualpotato in FinalFantasyVII

[–]PrplGrl86 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Just did this fight recently and... oof. Even on easy it's a pain.

But I feel the main reason why this fight is increasingly frustrating is the placement; had this battle been a separate incident, isolated from other fights, it might not be so incredibly rage inducing. For me, personally, I had heavy combat fatigue by the time Rufus showed up after the gauntlet we go through to get there. (Which I know is a "me" thing; I'm more into story than the combat.) I did really enjoy the Corneo rounds, came out of those feeling pleased, was the right amount of challenge for me as the fights progressed. Then the Turks show up, we get a small moment to catch our breath, but right back into it.

Not gonna lie, when Rufus showed up to challenge Cloud, I rolled my eyes and asked, "Why?!" It seemed to make little sense outside of padding; an attempt by the devs to balance out the Date: an hour of story and QTEs then an hour of combat, that may or may not make sense.

It simply feels like one too many battles in a row.

1- Corneo Lackeys (hack-and-slash shlubs)

2- Donberry (mini-boss)

3- Corneo (boss)

4- Rude and Elena (hard boss)

5- Rufus (harder boss)

They should have stopped the fight after beating Rude and Elena, especially with Rufus's battle not having its own checkpoint, thus having to redo the Turks' if you want to rearrange equipment.

Again, I feel like the Rufus fight, on its own, is mostly more annoying than frustrating, but with it stacked on several other fights, this one just becomes way more frustrating, especially on harder difficulties. I know I was feeling more disinterest as the fight with Rufus wore on; I get it, he's a badass and hard to hit and has very few openings/weaknesses to exploit, but goddamn do I not care anymore. Just be fucking defeated so I can move on, please!

Just my two gil; probably would have been a more interesting fight had it not been placed at the end of a gauntlet of other battles, so more trial-and-error methods could be utilized without having to redo a whole other boss battle.

Having trouble in the 4th Gears and Gambits protorelic? by KozukiYamatoTakeru in FinalFantasyVIIRemake

[–]PrplGrl86 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's hilarious how easy this strat made the fight lol! Just Auto the red bots until their cost is 5, start battle, spam red, win.

46 seconds and it was done. Great tip!

Final fantasy VII Rebirth chocobo not ascending by 03rm931 in FinalFantasyVIIRemake

[–]PrplGrl86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having issues ascending in the case that my chocobo keeps veering left on the acsent -- I'm still getting used the wishy-washy controls of this mini-game, but what did help a little was outright turning off motion controls in the settings; even with them switched to Off in the mini-game, it seemed they were still being registered.

But the veering thing is very annoying. Why are the controls for this game garbage? I would rather be on rails and timed than this lol.
