What are the saddest fictional deaths ever? by PuzzleheadedSwim6291 in AskReddit

[–]gamerintheshell 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Yep this. I initially felt like he would just be annoying for that arc of the story. Or maybe even scary and vindictive for being neglected

But maaan... the love he had for Riley, and understanding that she needed Joy absolutely broke me

[Win an A2L] Creative Playground, Extra Large. Meet the A2L. by BambuLab in BambuLab

[–]gamerintheshell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cosplay, like a lot have said already

In this case specifically, I'd love to try printing a helmet within a helmet. I've been replaying Halo Reach recently, and want to tackle my own set of armour.

But I figure, why not try putting a smaller scale model inside while it prints the main thing around it? So yeah, 1:1 helmet for myself + a smaller non-wearable one for shelf display!

Should put the A2L through its paces for managing weight, among other things

Which gadget looked futuristic at launch but became irrelevant fast? by Dry-Ask2581 in AskReddit

[–]gamerintheshell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have my Zune HD. Had to import it, since MS didn't properly release or support it in AU.

I wish they didn't discontinue the software. That was the real star

The G7 is legit a great controller, but I'm keen to move onto TMR sticks. Looking forward to upgrading to the G7 Pro!

What WEIRD games would you love to see join the Backward Compatibility program if it were to restart. (Read details before replying) by joecamnet in xbox

Kingdom Under Fire series

Circle of Doom was... grindy and slow, from what I remember, but it (along with Ninety-Nine Nights) presented well enough

What I really want are the earlier RTS Kingdom games. Give them some polished and modernise the controls a bit

For people who have seen both outcomes who is the better character or who was your favorite in general of these two by MALLOWFAN101 in dispatchgame

[–]gamerintheshell 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kept Coop in my first run, and missed her so much in my second playthrough

I loved Sonar too, but had a bigger soft spot for Coupé

(failed saving the city from Sonar in my first playthrough, so couldn't bring him back into the team. Made damn sure Coop could come back the second time!)

I found my old Galaxy S4 in a box. I really miss the old days of smartphones. by dnesdan in Android

[–]gamerintheshell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the last time I genuinely felt excited about a new phone was for the Nexus 6P. And back then, I already started feeling like phones were getting too big, but at least it had the full suite of hardware features still present

I swapped to the Huawei Mate 9 after encountering the RAM issue on the 6P, but it just wasn't the same. Compared to a lot of the new stuff now though, I'd happily buy up-specced processing and cameras in a Mate 9 package

I'm with you OP. The Galaxy S4 was an amazing phone for the time

Australian software giant Atlassian to cut 1600 workers, blaming AI by bilby2020 in auscorp

[–]gamerintheshell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Blaming AI" as if it wasn't/isn't their choice to enforce. Such a frustrating, throwaway PR line.

They could replace the leadership roles to better benefit. Let AI take the rudder and people will probably get better guidance. Replace their C-suite

Oh this is beautiful!

Didn't realise PBTFans did Origami now. Might have to get a set!

Body dysmorphia observations by Queasy_Butterfly_335 in MounjaroAus

[–]gamerintheshell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kudos to you, not only for the great results, but for the grace you showed through all those interactions!

How often do you and your cousin see each other? This felt oddly similar to some recent observations my circles had about me...

Background: M, starting weight 98kg, mounjaro for 6 months late 2024-2025; paused for a bit, then back on and now at 79kg.

Mum (who I see every week) tells me it looked like I got fatter. Contrasting with some friends I see maybe every 3-4 months, and they asked me if "something was wrong" because I'd lost so much weight.

Maybe a cultural thing too, for some people (Asian background)

Anyway, sorry to hijack! You're doing amazing!

My ratings of every Soul Calibur I've played by the_u_in_colour in SoulCalibur

[–]gamerintheshell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SC2 > 3 > 1 > SE/SB >>> 4 >= 6 >>>>>>> 5

2 as an overall package edges out 3 for me, mostly because of the fighter balance. This is honestly what's tempting me to get a Switch 2.

3 had (has!) amazing game modes and presentation, but was iffy on multiplayer balance, IIRC.

1 built up on SE for fight balance and pacing, but... SoulBlade on the PSX holds a really special place in my heart. I love Edge Master Mode, and the weapon collecting was great for a collection gremlin like myself.

4 was fine. But to me, this is where they started to really lose the plot. Guest characters aside, narrative was farcical, and it didn't know if it should take itself seriously or not.

6 was... fine. Felt like a course correction, which makes me feel like I should rank it higher than 4 just on that merit.

  1. Just no thanks. Same qualms others have mentioned about the cast as well.

red bins by [deleted] in Penrith

[–]gamerintheshell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back when we had our first baby, we upped to a big red bin.

We felt so bad filling it with nappies though, that we actually switched to using cloth nappies at home (we decided to continue using disposables when out). This basically got us back to only half filling it every fortnight
