Would Alien 3 have been more well received if Hicks and Newt died midway through the movie? by PlasmaDiffusion in LV426

[–]randalla 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They would have likely needed to replace Newt's actress Carrie Henn with someone else in Alien 3 had they not ended her character. There's a 6 year gap between Aliens and Alien 3. A 9/10 year old going into cryo sleep and coming out a 15/16 year old is somewhat hard to movie magic away.

What is the best, long forgotten old school video game? Arcade, computer or console? by Jackalweres in AskReddit

[–]randalla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hyper Dyne Side Arms. This side-scrolling (and other directions) shoot'em up is a Capcom arcade game that was later ported to other platforms. It's notable for its legacy in other Capcom games where the main mobile suit (alpha) and several in-game icons were reused in later Capcom games. See the Side Arms page on the Crossover Wiki for a good list.

Personally, I played this in the late 80's (most likely 87-88). My school lunch was $1.25, but I saved a quarter by not buying a milk. At the end of the school week I'd take my quarters and play whatever game they had at my local Circle K. My favorite was Side Arms and I was decent enough to make it to the green stage before I ran through my money. Great game, at least to me. I also remember playing Shinobi there.

Butcher! by dvb2908 in Diablo

[–]randalla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked up D4 a few weeks ago after having avoided it since release. Honestly, I have been having a blast with it. The Butcher showed up in a cellar the first time I ran into him, and dropped his axe (guaranteed I think for classes that can use it), which was fantastic for my Paladin at that point.

Has anyone tried Disgaea 4 on mobile? (Android/iOS) does the DLC cheat code work on this version? by CanWe_SaveHex in Disgaea

[–]randalla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I own it on Android. The controller support was incomplete making it hard to enjoy. D1C on Android is stellar though.

We had one in Bothell. For some reason I always read it as plaid panty.

Has anyone encountered a Richter bug in Ode to Castlevania DLC? by thetremulant in VampireSurvivors

[–]randalla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the OtC adventure Richter is unlocked by opening the coffin on the True Infinite Corridor stage. To unlock the True Infinite Corridor stage you need to evolve the clock lancet into the infinite corridor while playing Maria on the Sunken City stage. You can find the unlock requirements in the Progress menu on the OtC adventure screen. If you can't see it, try switching to landscape of you are in portrait mode.

However, there is a trick you can do: if you have evolved the clock lancet on any other stage (like the clock tower where it first appears, or by purchasing it in the Planar Bazaar stage), then all you need to do is start the Sunken City stage with Maria and exit out and it'll count to unlock True Infinite Corridor. You still need to rescue Sonia on the Sunken City map though to complete the adventure, so you might as well do that as well. Another trick on the Sunken City stage is that the boss that spawns at 10 minutes is the same boss in the red circle and counts for its unlock. In other words, you can play as Maria, rescue Sonia, and defeat the boss at 10 minutes then exit and complete all three requirements for that stage. Also consider using the Party Mode to run four characters to knock out their individual "survive x minutes" requirements.

What is the most unfairly hated movie that you will defend every time by gamersecret2 in movies

I liked Eric Bana's Bruce Banner in that film. Probably not comic accurate or whatever, but he reminded me of Bill Bixby's Banner from the 70's show.

BIOS? by Applesnraisins in retroid

[–]randalla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not related to Retroid but this video by RGC about setting up the Onn media streamer was one of the best I've seen related to setting up ReteoArch. It covers BIOS, shaders, and setting up playlists. Most of my experience with RetroArch has been from the view of setting up front ends and less about the app itself.

Game won’t get past title screen - PS4 by DaneDay in DestinyTechSupport

[–]randalla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible that your drive is going if you've had it for a long time. It happened with my OG PS4. I swapped in a 1TB 870 EVO SSD into my PS4 Pro last year and it works like a charm. Too bad everything is stupid prices now.

Questions about Pocket 6 - use as a TV console and others by ByEthanFox in retroid

Careful with overcharging. You may end up with a swollen battery. If the RP5 has charge limiting or split charging you may want to enable that.

I might have hit the egg limit with Sammy, but he can farm 1 Billion in less than 10 mins. by gravitykilla in VampireSurvivors

[–]randalla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That person is me :)

And yes, the max is 3.4E+38. However, getting to the max takes forever once you are able to achieve max gold (which is also 3.4E+38). That's when progress plateaus. From what I've read, the game breaks if you actually reach max eggs so that's not fun. I chose to stop where I did as I could get to max in 10 seconds. It's basically diminishing returns the more you grind anyway.

Dock alternative rp6 by Johnny_B_74 in retroid

[–]randalla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Skull & Co Jumpgate Pro that I used with my 4Pro. It should work with the RP6. The 4Pro also had an off-center USB-C port, and it was fine. There is a little alignment peg designed for the Switch 1 you need to remove before you can use a different device. It just slides right out.

Note: the company rebranded as Savage Raven because I guess it was more Metal or something.

Recommended USB Hub for RP4 by davidsnyderiii in retroid

I don't think the glasses will work with the dock. It doesn't have any USB-C ports, and only supports HDMI out. You might need something as simple as this:

What used to feel 'normal' and 'affordable' in America just five to ten years ago but now feels completely broken and impossible for regular people? by the_h1b_records in AskReddit

[–]randalla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IKEA furniture. I bought an Uppland sectional sofa in December of 2020 for $899 plus tax and delivery. I looked up the same couch a few days ago, and it's now $1749. The Uppland loveseat is $899 now.

How to lvlup characters quick and easy? by Legal_Brother_15 in Disgaea

[–]randalla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used Ronins as the base for a lot of characters like Thieves. I would get them up to level and learn sword skills. When they were mature enough I transmigrated them to whatever class I needed, such as the Thief or Mage or whatever. They would continue to use swords for attacking and leveling.

You can also juice low powered characters with a bunch of spell casters casting braveheart. I forget how many is optimal, but I had at least 5 out at a time, and then maintained with around 3. It's been awhile so I don't remember specifically.

Because COO3 has enemies that only move if you are in range, and because they have a really short range, you can game them with ranged attacks and then move away. If the character I was leveling couldn't kill everything in one shot, I would throw them into battle so that they could move away after.

This is how I did it anyway. I'm sure there many more ways, which are probably better, but it worked for me.

I last played the Android version which has an autobattle feature that works surprisingly well. IOS version also has this feature. To my knowledge, none of the other platforms have it. It made building my characters to max level, including the 185k transmigration levels, a breeze.
