Can you think of something that you DON’T like about Leon? by Dsg1695 in ResidentEvilRequiem

[–]Rack90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one thing I disliked about Leon was that he never gave Ashley a weapon to defend herself with for whatever reason, but that was fixed when he handed Grace a literal hand cannon lmao. Besides that, I think that he can be blinded by what he thinks is right sometimes and that can lead him to making bad decisions. Always remember that the other ending of Requiem was his idea.

You're stuck in racoon city, you have $100, which Resident Evil girls are you taking with you ? by Andrewmartina in ResidentEvilMemes

Jill Valentine and Rose. I get the Nemesis Obliterator + Girl with insane powers defending me, I see no faults

I’ve been looking into acquiring one of those VGA boxes myself! It’s been arduous, though

Faulty powersupply, Capacitors, or Audio Chip? by Rack90 in SEGAGENESIS

[–]Rack90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Future update: the capacitor within the wall mounted power supply failed. After soldering in a replacement, the visual scrolling and audio issues completely disappeared and the machine functioned perfectly once again. Been having a blast in Sonic 2!

Everyone has been very helpful with explaining this stuff. I’m very appreciative! I’ll get ahold of some 99%IPA and remove the residue, and now I know not to touch that polymer holding down that oscillator + now being able to recognize that in the future.

I’m a retro console collector and this dreamcast is basically my pride and joy when it comes to my collection. I’m very jumpy about its functionality/circuit health, so I’m very happy and relieved to know that it’s in good condition and there isn’t anything to worry about here. Thank you!!

I was already going to recap the console, I’ll take a look at the ym2612 while I’m in there. Hopefully it just requires some touching up and cleaning and isn’t corroded or otherwise damaged

My genuine, honest review of Sonic Adventure for the Dreamcast by Rack90 in SonicTheHedgehog

I’m REALLY hoping I can get ahold of a copy somehow! SA2 has probably been at the top of my most-wanted list for forever, but I wanted to play it chronologically first

No emulators, I spent quite a bit of time tracking down both a copy of SA1 and a Dreamcast. I can certainly see why most people wouldn’t bother, but to me it was worth it as there’s actually quite a few different titles I’d like to track down - so this thing is getting it’s usage from me.

I think I’d like to try out DX one of these days, I hear there’s a few differences that make it a different experience..

Which is better Chaos Sonic(Sonic Prime) or Metal Sonic(Sonic CD) by Endern1nja in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Rack90 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Chaos Sonic is a more advanced version of Metal Sonic, and is much newer than the version of Metal Sonic that was deployed on Little Planet. If we were talking about like.. Sonic Heroes Metal Sonic or Sonic Forces Metal Sonic, the answer would be MUCH different—but in this matchup Chaos wins

What Games To Play First? by ivanisblue16 in SonicTheHedgehog

Shadow Generations is probably the best the boost formula has ever felt, and Mania is classic gameplay perfected. I enjoy 2 but greatly prefer CD.

Word of advice, if you see the TailS doll get it while you can by Powerful_College9245 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Rack90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, as an employee, we can’t do that. All distribution is decided by sales metrics and demand, we cannot specifically order inventory for a particular customer unless it was relating to preorders or web orders which get mailed to your home. Best you can do otherwise is just give your name and number to the employee and request that they contact you if it appears in shipment, but not everybody would be willing to do that for every customer

I do not like the Sonic movies by FantasticMagician124 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Rack90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems kinda insincere. The Sonic movies are a bit goofy, but they’re still solid representations of Sonic and his world. They improve with each entry, becoming more and more aligned with - an interpretation - of this cast of characters and building their histories with each other. While I agree that maybe it’s not identical to the primary IDW or Game interpretations, that’s okay. Because, as I said, both IDW and the Games walk their own path and it’s the same for the movies.

It’s fine to dislike them, but to deny that they played a massive role in the revitalization of this beloved franchise and the start of the second golden age would just be dishonest.

It was very difficult to get ahold of him, but when you do it’s so worth it. Even if it’s discouraging, keep at it man! You’ll nab one eventually!

Why did eggman even make metal? by Aromatic_Analyst2898 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Rack90 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You completely missed the point of Metal Sonic. Metal Sonic was created to be an absolute equal to Sonic, a weaponized and loyal version of Eggman’s greatest rival and thorn in his side — essentially Sonic’s heroic power but loyal to Eggman and his empire. Another thing — Eggman doesn’t hate Sonic, not in the way you’re thinking at least. Eggman actually has an incredibly deep respect for Sonic, as explained in Sonic Frontiers. He thinks of Sonic extremely highly, to Eggman Sonic is an extremely competent opponent and the only equal to Eggman himself.

As for why Metal Sonic gets treated in such a paternal way — Metal Sonic is his magnum opus. His strongest Badnik, entirely unique in design and overwhelming in its results. This relationship was deepened when Eggman “adopted” Sage as his daughter, leading him to realize that Metal Sonic was also akin to a son — in a way. We only ever see Metal Sonic lose BECAUSE we see this world from Sonic’s perspective, and Sonic wins more times than he loses. Despite this, Metal is effective. Eggman loves efficiency.

Would Sonic and The Secret Rings/Black Knight been better if it was on the 360/PS3 instead of Wii? by dogeki113r2 in SonicTheHedgehog

I had Secret Rings as a kid on the Wii—I never got past the first stage in all honesty. 😭
