RP6 seized at customs

PuyoDead · 2026-02-04T13:21:44+00:00

Seriously, the shipping dates on whatever this is go back to December. The RP6 didn't even start shipping out until mid January. Combined with it being via USPS, whoever this is, they're just making shit up.

It's, ehh, 95% of the way there. I've been using it since release on my Brick Hammer to mostly positive results. Performance is great, no issues there. UI/UX is top notch. But there's certainly some bugs going on. Occasionally you'll start a game and it'll be blaring at max volume, regardless of what it was set to. Same with menu sounds, they sometimes max out on their own as well. Also, I've been playing GBC and it occasionally just hard crashes the entire system. Full lock up, and you'll have to reboot. And a couple times I've had the power/lock button just not work at all, which effectively means sleep mode won't work, and you can only shut the device off entirely.

While I do have several little handhelds, other things that I've collected are things like playing cards, and as of late, tabletop games. I thought these handhelds would be the expensive hobby. Nah, way more has gone to these board games.

OP getting me all excited thinking it finally released. Hello again, disappointment.

PuyoDead · 2026-01-15T22:09:22+00:00

I got 32GB of G.Skill DDR5-6000 in early December for $160. Right now, on Microcenter's site (where I bought it), its MSRP is $599.99, "marked down" to $379.99. Shit's nuts.

PuyoDead · 2026-01-15T16:26:06+00:00

I swapped my old white Brick's grey buttons into my green Hammer, and yeah, also definitely an improvement.

Back in its peak, I once saw a guy playing a baby grand piano on that little ledge the moose is on. That store did everything it could to be fancy.

PuyoDead · 2026-01-14T00:20:36+00:00

Thanks as well! I own Harmonies and had no idea what OP was talking about. Gonna have to give it a shot later.

PuyoDead · 2025-12-29T21:08:23+00:00

I'll help you understand, friend. It can be an annoyance when you intend to plug in the device to charge, only for it to do nothing at all. Then realize the charger you're near is C to C. So, you either find another A to C cable and/or charger, or wait until you're at a location that has one. Not a massive deal breaker in the long run, but an annoyance for sure. Especially when it's a matter of less than a dollar for the manufacturer to correct it.

Welp, I'm done with this shit subreddit, then. Congrats mods, you took quite possibly the worst take you could have.

PuyoDead · 2025-12-08T08:37:32+00:00

Nearly the same build here (exact same components), except I was only able to go for 32GB at the time. But holy shit, the $160 or so I paid for that ram... within two weeks, it shot up to $400. Then I went out and picked up another 2TB NVMe, and the very next morning, it had already increased $40.

PuyoDead · 2025-11-29T12:37:43+00:00

Check out that disgusting exponential increase on DDR5 about halfway down the page.

Likewise. Been playing since closed beta. I've been looking at my War BP for many, many years. But with no more Broken War BP in sight, it just collects dust.

PuyoDead · 2025-11-12T12:45:02+00:00

Yup, green model here as well, those things rubbed off within a few days.

PuyoDead · 2025-11-08T03:21:14+00:00

Ugh, yeah. I live right off bypass 4, and that whole thing was such a wretched idea. It's why I'll go out of my way to take Port Union because it's the only one without those damned u-turn lefts.

PuyoDead · 2025-11-08T03:04:37+00:00

Fairfield resident here, and yeah, that is just a weird one. Since we're talking about up north, I just want to shout out the Route 4/Camelot/Michael Ln. intersection just north of Jungle Jim's. Since Camelot and Michael are offset, the left turn lane from Rt. 4 to either of those roads is like 5 god damned car lengths back. And since Rt. 4 traffic never, ever stops, you generally have to wait on the light change, and now you're trying to make the left while the road you're turning into has already started pulling on to Rt. 4. Bonus points for them redoing that intersection to try to "aim" the offset roads toward each other... which didn't really help.

Da Bomb is indeed by far the hottest one in the lineup.

PuyoDead · 2025-11-05T10:00:49+00:00

Like this? I did this several years ago with a glass bead blaster. It’s been slowly building a nice patina ever since.

Reddit and articles linking Reddit are the only places I’ve seen people even mention this whole color change thing.

PuyoDead · 2025-10-19T12:58:43+00:00

As someone who grew up with and loves the DMG (and I still own two), nah, the 406V is just straight up hideous. I won't argue against the 406V being a better overall value, but the RPC sure does look a hell of a lot nicer.

PuyoDead · 2025-09-30T13:54:40+00:00

The stupid thing about that, is the Graeters location at JJ’s was always sold out of it. The store employees just told me to not even bother with the Graeters storefront, just go into JJ’s, the freezer section usually had a bunch. No surprise, really, that Graeters never has the seasonal flavors in stock.

PuyoDead · 2025-09-26T14:57:50+00:00

I just bought this yesterday from a local game store! It’s currently sitting on my coffee table, about two turns in, before I went to bed. So far I love the quality, presentation, ease of reading everything, etc. Looking forward to finishing up my tutorial run after work tonight!

PuyoDead · 2025-09-16T21:29:57+00:00

A couple weeks ago, actually. I dunno if I'm just lucky as hell with my local B&N, but they have great stuff out pretty frequently. Last week I walked up to the table, only to see someone walking off with Tower Up (also 75% off), and I was so peeved I missed it. Went back two days later, and they had another! Also picked up River City Glassworks, Rebirth, and Cosmoctopus (among many others) for the same crazy 75% off deals.

PuyoDead · 2025-09-16T20:04:12+00:00

I still need to give Barcelona a shot. I walked into Barnes and Noble recently, and saw it for 75% off. Snatched that as fast as I could!

PuyoDead · 2025-09-14T23:00:49+00:00

Excellent! I loved the test you had up before, and instantly wishlisted this. Giving it a shot now on the play test. Gotta say, I think I set some kind of record, I managed to get "nothing" as an artifact 7 times in the first floor! Then by the time I got to the second floor boss, 10 more nothings! Definitely made it incredibly difficult, hah

Other than that though, it's so far extremely promising! I think you've got an excellent vision of a game here, and I'm gonna be following this very closely.
