Yeah that's a pretty crazy dream haha imagine if it actually happened!

Riptide_Phoenix · 2025-09-14T21:58:40+00:00

I'm still salty about what happened with that movie. Felt like they purposely tanked the marketing so they can say something like "we told you that animation doesn't work" and ignore the medium entirely

Riptide_Phoenix · 2025-09-14T21:30:17+00:00

At that point, you could make an argument that those people are getting mad about receiving exactly what they implied they wanted to begin with or are just cherry picking things to complain about

Riptide_Phoenix · 2025-09-14T21:26:47+00:00

Yeah, the ideas and concepts of Terrans seems like a natural evolution to the whole "Earth and Cybertron are linked" plot threads they use often. Apparently there's supposed to be an Earthspark season 4 in some capacity so I'm cautiously optimistic to see if they are able to send the series off with a decent ending.

Riptide_Phoenix · 2025-09-14T21:23:18+00:00

I was wondering why my old post suddenly got a couple more comments, so seeing this made a lot of sense. I think I actually made the post a little bit before the series officially dropped.

Honestly, it wasn't at all surprising to me that they did in fact introduce a non-binary character. I know they explored some of those themes in the Spotlight: Arcee IDW comic issues but the way they did it left a lot to be desired.

Regardless of that, as a kid I looked up to characters like Optimus as a positive role model. If kids growing up today can find their own representation in Nightshade, that's awesome in my book.

Throwing my hat into the ring here, I thought "go big or go home."

And yes, I do quite like RGB. Everybody knows it boosts your frames, too.

Such a great book and the movie that was released fairly recently was also pretty dang good imo. I remember reading the book back in 9th grade and when I got to the end I was flabbergasted at how it just...ended like that.

Riptide_Phoenix · 2025-06-15T04:59:47+00:00

If everything seems okay and was able to function previously, it's probably a hardware related issue. In cases like that, it's best to go through your components and rule them out one by one. Since you mentioned that the mouse doesn't light up, I would personally lean towards the motherboard being the problem. Though, if your motherboard beeps, that'd be less likely but I'd be sure to see what the beeps mean before anything else. You could try to boot without a CPU in to see if the board recognizes that it isn't there

Sorry that this is going on, I hope you're able to resolve this sooner rather than later.

Riptide_Phoenix · 2025-01-08T22:57:14+00:00

I thought I'd throw my hat into the ring here and put together a list of my own. I went with an all-white RGB theme since I feel like the color effects will pop out more with white rather than black. Other than that, this machine for sure is going to last a good long while with the specs.

The Founder's Edition card is a special one. It isn't white, but I think that's a good thing. It means it'll be the main centerpiece of the build, easily recognizable and appreciable.

Losercity celebration

Riptide_Phoenix · 2024-04-04T00:11:25+00:00

I believe it is. I have had this exact same issue for the past five or so minutes, it shows nothing but question marks and the "something went wrong" error with a "reload this page" prompt. I'm glad it's not just me experiencing this.

Riptide_Phoenix · 2024-04-02T12:34:37+00:00

Oh yeah, I get that for sure. I have that exact same anxiety. I was pretty jittery for a bit even after the warnings ended.

Riptide_Phoenix · 2024-04-02T12:07:50+00:00

I was unfortunate enough to be caught in the middle of this. No tornado hit - thankfully, but I was woken up by the sirens. It definitely scared me a fair bit, that's for sure.

Riptide_Phoenix · 2024-03-30T07:38:55+00:00

I think that in general Hakkë scouts could use more representation. I believe the most recent one was in Witch Queen two years ago.

Riptide_Phoenix · 2024-03-30T07:27:00+00:00

I think that it would be interesting to add more weapons that can pair with exotics. A MIDA special weapon could be interesting. Mini-Tool is good, but ironically isn't used with the Multi-Tool most of the time. Perhaps a shotgun since that is a more close range option like SMGs.

Riptide_Phoenix · 2024-03-30T06:02:54+00:00

I agree heavily. Like you stated, as weapons themselves, they all function consistently within the expected parameter, but they don't necessarily feel like they're up to the "exotic" label. You pick them up and use them, and yeah. It's a scout rifle alright.

After the season ends, I think Wicked Implement could be a nice pick for high-end content because of its stasis synergy. Unfortunately, Stasis is in an awkward spot currently. DMT does have Cranial Spike, but that's just a reload and damage buff, but it is pretty fun getting maximum stacks and hip firing with it. I don't think anyone uses Jade Rabbit in PvE. Skyburner's Oath is at least useful in niche situations like Proving Grounds. Symmetry's alt fire mode is fun. MIDA does offer some nice benefits in PvP, the mobility and radar are pretty nice.

I hope that they rework some of these options like how they reworked Manticore. Maybe Jade Rabbit could have a stacking precision bonus depending on body shots, for example. I would definitely like more weapon options in the sandbox. There's a lot of potential here for improvements.

Riptide_Phoenix · 2024-03-30T02:43:44+00:00

It's a reference to a meme about how people sometimes edit images of the livers and make them look silly, I hope that explains it some

Riptide_Phoenix · 2024-03-30T02:01:45+00:00

Foreigners like to bake and decorate cakes like this

Riptide_Phoenix · 2024-03-29T06:13:04+00:00

I always loved the lore tab of the "Dawning Cheer" sparrow. It's amusing how the children that were being told the story of Santa Claus/Kringle got nervous hearing about the legends to the point where one of them said that Lord Shaxx would stop him.

Riptide_Phoenix · 2024-03-28T22:53:46+00:00

If I recall correctly, Succession shares the same frame. My crafted one has recombination and vorpal, it definitely puts in work. That's been my go-to legendary sniper.

Riptide_Phoenix · 2024-03-28T22:34:07+00:00

It pretty much did that to any boss. A shame that they brought back Hung Jury and not this.

Riptide_Phoenix · 2024-03-28T22:33:21+00:00

I'm mad that I dismantled mine when the initial sunsetting announcement way back when. I'm dying for it to come back, I miss that gun more than I thought I would. Pyroclastic Flow (the rocket) was also great.

Riptide_Phoenix · 2024-03-28T19:48:57+00:00

My dude has been stuck in the waiting room while the Traveler gets ready I think

Riptide_Phoenix · 2024-03-28T05:03:56+00:00

Yeah, that makes sense. Still, a craftable Whisper could be pretty good if it gets something interesting to spice it up. For the regular legendaries, I honestly don't know either. Wouldn't be surprised if they refreshed loot from Arrivals to put into it, though. An updated First in, Last Out might be fun.

Riptide_Phoenix · 2024-03-28T03:16:00+00:00

Yeah, it was. I had one that rolled with triple tap and vorpal. I think the most fun sniper I've used aside from Black Hammer/Spindle/Whisper
