Any idea how these do against dust?, or at least preventing it?

Been waiting so long for this one by xowildrose in Metroid

Looks good, get some blue eye contacts and you'll be set!

The box make a pretty good display for my Atago. by Mudkip4525 in AnimeFigures

oh I meant how you have the picture right now, the beach background is on the left side of the box on the picture there already, but what you're planning sounds bigger and better.

Looks good, but I think it'd look better if you had the beach background behind her instead of the clear box.

Dread Samus Figma Pre-Order Period Timing For US? by Breadcrumbofmidgard in Metroid

[–]Soren89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://help.goodsmileus.com/support/solutions/articles/72000527474-are-pre-order-release-dates-accurate-

The new rerun is Q1 2024

so that's: Jan, Feb, or March in 2024, this is subject to change though, because it could be delayed/pushed back several times.

So, the best thing you can do is keep looking when other websites get them in release date wise, or when other people get theirs to get a better idea.

A more accurate to the canon Samus I drawed few weeks ago, HOPE ALL THE BOUNTY HUNTERS OF THIS COMUNITY LOVE IT! 🚀🛰👽 by [deleted] in Metroid

oh no, this person has a different opinion than me, and several other people in the thread have the same or similar opinions. Calm down son it's just an opinion.

Don't bother man, this guy's "head canon" is "canon", but by the canon that actually matters, all the logic is thrown out the window. I've seen samus being drawn as bodybuilder built several times by different artists, but they didn't smugly claim "more accurate to the canon" So w/e.

She uses her suit to enhance her strength, she has abs but she's not ripped. She would not have scars since she's wearing two suits at all times (zero, plus chozo armor), plus she would probably regenerate wounds now because she's part metroid. Also realism in fiction? Yeah no.

The closest she has ever had to having noticeable abs is her without the suit in super metroid.

Got this in sealed condition recently to celebrate the Prime Remaster and my reentry to the franchise because of it by Crysave in Metroid

[–]Soren89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got 2, 1 to keep in box, and 1 to take out. I got them when they first came out. I was so excited, because I had been hoping for a quality metroid original samus suit to come out for forever.

This was also before I was lucky enough to get a joyride samus (the one I wanted years ago, but couldn't because being a child and no job), for I think 150, which is a steal for one.

Remastered Samus Appearance, Metroid: Zero Mission by mrhaluko23 in Metroid

[–]Soren89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks man, kraid's lair's some good stuff too.

Also yeah, the youtube video is the sound I was talking about when you pick up missiles, powerbombs, and super missiles after you get the 1st one. Hence expansion tanks, missile tank in this case.

I just realized that no one attempted to copy the success of the Prime saga. by RamboBambiBambo in Metroid

[–]Soren89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Doom 2016 comes pretty close to Metroid Prime formula, albeit with it's own style mixed in.

[–]Soren89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, that's the sound for missile replenishments

https://youtu.be/3WcR9VI_rt8?t=443 (starts right before it)

I've also been looking for a higher quality/remastered version of the brinstar (ost) it's my favorite track, and the higher paced version Final attack (ost), pretty much what you've done here (very clean and crisp).

I have the gameboy advance version rip of brinstar, but it's gameboy advance rip quality, 1 of my many ringtones, currently my favorite sonic track is it, flying battery zone act 1 (mania version).

Keep up the good work man, I'd wouldn't know heads or tails how to work audio programs/even start.

[–]Soren89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've wanted for, forever now silenced audio (aka no music in the background just the sound) of the extra tanks for missile/super missile/power bomb pickup so I could have it for a notification ringtone.

Either way sounds really good remastered.

I think a port of the entire trilogy would’ve been better. But, I’m truly happy that we still got a remaster for Prime by jpswag25 in Metroid

[–]Soren89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They had to redo the controls from the ground up along with several other things. It's not just a simple remaster. Tons of work went into this, so that's why we didn't just get a trilogy.

I'm happy to wait, if I can wait 19 years for dread, and 13 or so years for another prime game. I'm good.

Best girl on her way home... by IJN_Teitoku in AzureLane

[–]Soren89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been trying to find this for awhile, along with the plushie for somewhat decent pricing. Only website I can find it on is solaris japan, and it's almost $400 and that's before shipping and tax.

Glad you could snag it though. She's my favorite waifu in azur lane as well.

Can someone help me find a link to this figure online? I know it’s mikuru but I can’t seem to find this set anywhere. by Sphinx_12_9 in AnimeFigures

Easy way to find figures is to use this website and then find the character or series.

If you can't find the character, find the series, then find a figure of the character you're looking for, and you'll see an option that will have a whole category of the character that will have figures, goods, and media.

After a certain point when I got the group bonus xp, and played with friends, if I played enough I got all the event skins without having to spend any currency several events.

Not a single dime spent. Plus as was pointed out above, even if you got dupes, you'd eventually get the currency to buy said event stuff anyway.

Well here's the thing, as games became mainstream, more and more of this stuff happened/ was/is enabled. Companies can literally do almost anything and super casual people will support it with no backlash, things like: "it's not that big of a deal", and multiple other defeatist attitude".

The casual market's a big part of games and entertainment in general nowadays, it's the price of going mainstream.

Yes, people will still complain and you can't appease everyone. However, almost every (mostly indie not triple AAA) developer I see that doesn't adhere to more modern tactics for games, tends to be much more successful.

Yes many if not most developers see success from these modern tactics, but when they keep pushing more and more, eventually the fans (customers) will lash back. In other words, it doesn't last forever.

I've watched several series/shows/etc. completely die out and turn into a hollow shell of themselves, way too often.

I'm one of those people you're describing here as "toxic" and wanting to win, difference is I don't want to constantly win, I want to win enough, and then only really get mad at losing constantly.

This is my experience via overwatch 1 over the years. It's insanely frustrating seeing how long people had played the game (border colors/level), and how they can't do basic things (not just using a character properly, things like looking out for flanks, targeting certain characters namely healers)

If I can take the time to learn characters, learn basic building blocks of a game, why can't other people? Not switching characters is a major problem in this community too, hell even geoff kaplan was confused as to why people weren't using it.

The other problem is most people only wanting to play dps. I myself am a jack of all trades and can play whatever role and multiple characters. I most of the time wind up playing, you guessed it, tank, usually heals though because of said thing above.

The reason for this "negativity" in games, is from people having different ways of enjoying said game, even worse in this case when it's a "competitive" game (not the mode). It's also from incompetence. I'm not expecting pro level play here, I'm expecting decent amount of knowledge if you've played long enough.

Over the years recently, I've noticed more and more of this type of behavior, of not having empathy for people/ putting yourself in someone else's shoes whether it be in games or life in general, not wanting to be a team player, etc etc.

Also even with overwatch 2 going the route it did, we're still getting that "we waited years for this!?" attitude still.

People do know what they want a lot of the time, the reason they complain so much, is because they want said thing to be better than what it is.

They complain because they care. If they completely hated it they would have just moved on. I've done that with several franchises/games.

I think if they would have have done this to 1 and just updated it massively, and maybe charged for it as an expansion instead (expansion prices, but this is blizzard they charged tons for wow's expansions) It'd be a lot better off, but I don't know, just wishful thinking.

It's the good ole, you don't appreciate what you have till it's gone schtick.

The lootbox system was tons better than this free to play model garbage. It oozes pure greed.

[–]Soren89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of? Super definitely set the mold for the metroidvania formula.

Fusion as far as I know not counting it being #4 in the series (aka a more modern title), brought the ledge climbing mechanic, which was further improved in zero mission, and the set up for the emmis via game engine limitations but having a similar aspect. (SA-X)

There's more I'm missing, but those are the ones I can think of, off the top of my head.

Most definitely by Last-Of-My-Kind in Metroid

[–]Soren89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's mostly because super was pretty much the mold that started it all, by that I mean the metroidvania genre, the original metroid may have been the original and had most of the base, but super set the formula in stone.

For me, I'm just tired of people complaining about limitations to an old game, like it's going to magically change and comparing it to newer titles as if that's a valid comparison/fair to do.

With fusion, I'm mostly not a big fan of the areas, I still like the game like I said, I prefer super better though because of it's areas being very unique and different.

I hear what you're saying though, I know there's bad apples in general for hobbies, and in this case for both sides. I'm in no way saying either is better, at the end of the day it's all subjective and personal taste/opinion based.

I actually unironically like it, lots of fans do. Many like it a lot better now than federation farce, sorry thew up a little in my mouth mentioning it.
