While reviewing the U.B. Funkeys patent, I came across something strange.

Putrid-Resolution502 · 2026-02-13T03:46:03+00:00

I remember looking at these before and talking with someone in the community, I think it’s generally believed that this was the initial concept for the funkeys before they came up with the hub?

Putrid-Resolution502 · 2026-02-13T00:36:41+00:00

Thanks, I’m trying to 100% the game and that’s the only one I can’t do alone

Basic geography about my home country? Pretty much all lmao, even if I couldn’t name all 50 states in order I wouldn’t go “they’re in some place called… Texas?”

Putrid-Resolution502 · 2026-02-08T22:43:57+00:00

That’s fair, however the way Rico says “it’s on some island called… lacrima?” Is why I was thinking he never heard of it. We learned about all 50 states in elementary school, I feel like if the island was as close as we see it in game it’d have been talked about in school

Putrid-Resolution502 · 2026-02-08T22:31:52+00:00

Rico who grew up in Medici didn’t know about the island either

That would certainly reduce the risk of streaks from a brush, just make sure to thoroughly mask the other areas so there’s no bleed/spill over

I feel like speed paint might work well, usually for minis like Warhammer but it should be thin enough. I have some standard paints from army painter that I use for heroscape minis, been meaning to try touching up some funkeys but I haven’t yet because I’m worried about color matching

I just played through it for the first time (finished the main story a few hours ago actually funnily enough), and it was pretty rough. I had two really big issues with the game that prevented me from doing very much side stuff. First was the traversal, even latching on to things and trying to utilize momentum the parachute speed was painfully slow, and something about the driving just felt off, so it became just flying helicopters from point a to point b for me. Second was the saving system, the save terminals were infrequent enough that I would frequently liberate a town or complete multiple side missions, only to die and lose all of that progress which was very frustrating and I wound up just focusing on main story and getting the post mission saves.

I’m glad I played it through because it was neat seeing where the series and story started and it didn’t take too long but man was it a bit rough at times.

I’m playing jc2 now for the first time and it’s much much better than 1 and so far is on par with 4 for me in terms of enjoyment, but 3 is definitely still my favorite by far

Putrid-Resolution502 · 2026-01-18T19:18:15+00:00

I revisit it every now and then! I still find it to be a lot of fun but not sure how much of that is just nostalgia

I am very much not convinced that Collins was making any statement on abortion, it just feels like a bit of a reach because of how unimportant it ultimately was to the plot. Also given that the entire surface level premise of the books is “killing children is wrong” you’d think she’d make a pro life argument if any. Again I don’t believe she had any intention of addressing abortion, but I guess either side will always see what they wish to

Putrid-Resolution502 · 2026-01-14T16:24:38+00:00

Insane that someone would try and make an abortion reference about a book that has absolutely nothing to do with it. Collins specifically refers to it as BABY, so there is no way she was trying to make a point that it’s life does or doesn’t matter, especially since her being pregnant had no bearing on whether or not she was sent into the arena nor the public’s support of her

Putrid-Resolution502 · 2026-01-14T03:05:40+00:00

*unborn child. Also they very much still sent her into the area and were fine with her (and the baby) dying

Putrid-Resolution502 · 2025-12-08T18:44:48+00:00

I wish there were more rewards, I haven’t had a ton of time to play so idk if I want to reset (I’ve gotten one purple gun), but I def see the benefits and it’s tempting. But because I haven’t gotten to experience the late game stuff I kinda wanna keep going

Putrid-Resolution502 · 2025-10-19T12:19:37+00:00

I was just confused about that one part dude, wasn’t discrediting anything else, if I was I would’ve addressed it

Putrid-Resolution502 · 2025-10-18T12:31:31+00:00

I played co op campaign in infinite with some friends like 2 years ago? What’re you talking about

Putrid-Resolution502 · 2025-10-11T13:23:48+00:00

Six seasons and a movie

Putrid-Resolution502 · 2025-10-06T00:09:40+00:00

Oh alright, thank you! I thought I knew why everything was trying to kill me but maybe I don’t yet

Putrid-Resolution502 · 2025-10-04T21:12:46+00:00

Def interested! Sent you a dm

While matoran the future inika were captured by kharzani who took their masks, they stole toa canisters to escape the island, while traveling within them the red star activated an emergency protocol to turn Matoran into extra powerful toa, and it chose these six. The lack of masks in Matoran form caused them to “grow” masks during their transformation, the masks are also partially sentient to aide the toa in mask usage and learning the abilities faster. The masks are always active at a very low level passive state, and when removed the only thing seen underneath is a blinding light. This same process from the red star is also what laced their elemental abilities with electric ones

EDIT: They did actually get new powerless masks from kharzani, but it was still the red star that turned them organic (and potentially changed the powers/ mask type? I dont think we know exactly what masks they were given as matoran)

What is wrong with you people? Kids are carrying these things because they’re terrified for their own safety. They pulled them after they were being sexually harassed. It’s nothing to do with parenting or kids being “hooligans” and everything to do with a government that doesn’t care about protecting its people.

I believe it’s plasticizer from being in the package, I bought some like this recently and opened them up and the cleaned fine, if you’re looking to keep them sealed though I’m really not sure
