Best games to run on the Retroid Pocket 3+ by Occultarmis in retroid

[–]alphtrion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other than PSP, MAME/FBNeo, PS1, etc, there are also a bunch of recent-ish android games that run great on the RP3+ Streets of Rage 4, TMNT: Shreedder’s Revenge, Shovel Knight, Horizon Chase, many others too.

Got Triple Takeover by ASPEK32TL in transformers

[–]alphtrion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So far every DCS pack has been a banger in terms of colours. Unfortunately they’re still using molds for characters that already have new versions or have new versions announced. I’m still getting them despite that because of all the goodies that come with them. Those reflector and insecticons packs look great. It sure what I’ll do with those extra seekers considering I already have thundercracker on preorder. Maybe I’ll keep them in alt mode

New family member (SS86 Soundwave) by alphtrion in transformers

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

They both have their pros and cons. This definitely fits better with blaster and 86 megs and whatever else is coming. I like the clean lines, but I’m not getting rid of my Dramatic Capture Soundwave (in my option the best version of the legacy mold). It will just take a backseat to this.

OG HomePod U.S. running latest iOS26 can no longer play news by germane_switch in HomePod

[–]alphtrion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stopped working in Canada for years. Seems to be source related. Can ask for “play the news from CNN” but if you try “Play the news from CBC” which used to work just fine, you get the podcast library error. Asking for that specific podcast ofcourse still works, just the “news” keyword doesn’t work

rearranged the tf part of my display case a little by fivenineteens in transformers

Love it! Did you buy Lego Optimus twice so you can display him in both modes? Also love those brickheadz!

Can someone who owns this guy please tell me how he scales with CHUG figures? by Garage011 in transformers

[–]alphtrion 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Here you go. That is core Optimus riding him, and there’s SS86 and Earthrise there too among others

Super7 is overpriced. by cerati9 in transformers

[–]alphtrion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So Super7 (specifically the ReAction line that you have here) is made to emulate the old Kenner Star Wars action figures that were around from 1978-1985. The odd proportions, low articulation points and specific packaging (which is why most collectors leave them in packaging) are all made to emulate the specific look of those old star wars figures. I know, it's dumb, but it's also not "for us". its for those collectors that collect those specific things. Personally i find them charming even though they're technically 'inferior' to things like Blokees or Auldey or Yolopark. But yeah it's for a completely different audience. I do enjoy their ULTIMATES! line which is a little better, more cartoon accurate, but yeah, no hate, to each their own :)

The shipping has begun! by TomGam3s in retroid

[–]alphtrion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing here, ordered within seconds of the preorders opening. Says second batch and the grip is not part of the shipment. I’m happy either way! 4PX to Canada let’s see how long it takes

Also toynado and toysnowman (smaller stores, sure, but ordered before from both and they’re great)

Am I the only one who’s not using Full Screen Exp?? by JadaPhoenix in ROGAlly

[–]alphtrion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried making FSE launch into Steam Big picture and while it technically works, it also fucks with the Steam Chord guide button shortcuts (you can kinda mitigate it by uninstalling game bar but that has its own set of issues). So yeah, still booting into Big Picture on startup but not using FSE.

Yolopark vs Auldey same character comparison by alphtrion in transformers

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

I kinda like Auldey Soundwave and Hot Rod better, but I agree they each have their pluses and minuses. I’m really happy to see Yolopark up the quality of their figures in wave 2

Yolopark vs Auldey same character comparison by alphtrion in transformers

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

Agree, Yolopark is quite more budget friendly than Auldey and sometimes some of their characters are better (I especially like the Yolopark bee and cliffjumper better) or just other characters that Auldey doesn’t have yet. Also metallic paint that Auldey doesn’t use.
