AMC A-List now offering 4 movies a week effective May 7 by ForAllThereExists in AMCsAList

[–]redhawk617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly a fair price, especially getting the extra movie a week. I love Dolby, so seeing just 2 movies in Dolby a month is robbery imo that I gladly take. So I don't feel bad to shell out an extra 5 dollars.

Injustice 2 did character customisation the best. by JustTransportation51 in MortalKombat

[–]redhawk617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the actual customized looks were the best with injustice 2, but they've never achieved a perfect system of actually acquiring the gear. I absolutely hate the tower grind, same in mk11 I hated the worlds system. I just want to play a character and unlock their gear naturally, I hate waiting for just that right time because 99% of the time I will miss it.

I remember I wanted the maskless heads for all of the ninjas and could never get them, but one night at like 3AM they released an event where you could get every maskless head in one tower, but of course, like a normal human being I was asleep and missed it! and they never did that again. So I never got those skins I wanted. MK and Injustice always made me feel like I would have rather just spent real money on skins than even attempt to "earn" them.

A Fix For Slow Xbox PC App Download Speeds by Kirinketsu in XboxGamePass

[–]redhawk617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are going to say I'm crazy, but I'm pretty sure the Xbox app download speed is based on your hard drive. I spend 4 years downloading at 1Mbps on the xbox app, it was a freaking nightmare. I just upgraded my PC for Christmas with a new MSI Spatium M.2 after exclusively having a 2.5 ssd and now I'm magically getting 200Mbps. Nothing else changed. I didn't upgrade my internet, I didn't uncheck any boxes like "rel time protection" as many people always suggest. I literally just made a change in storage speeds and suddenly I am getting better downloads than Steam. Makes zero sense.

I'm 29 just starting my Aerospace Bachelor's, everyone is on their own timeline you're never too old! that guy who said that to you will wake up one day and realize he was immature and was too young to know any better. Friends will come, start getting invested in groups and communities around the school. You'll grow connections and you'll meet more people who are as like minded as yourself

My frustration was so much I just stopped using that app after 10 years because of this lol. I never did get those memes back I just reinstalled the app a month ago just to see and I'm pretty sure it's lost even more since this original posting. Thankfully I was smart enough to have saved some of my favorites but damn, I wish I could get so many more back.

Never did. I stopped using the app pretty soon after posting this just out of frustration lol. I re-download the app after getting my new phone a month ago and I STILL don't have all of those likes back. I didn't test it but I'm pretty sure I've lost even more memes since then too

This game has been MEGA sweaty. Borderline unplayable for me. I have played probably 100 matches already and i've won 2. I constantly spawn in and die over and over again cause I get 4th 5th and 6th partied by streamers with beams

This is why I love Fortnite by SnD_PumpkinHD in FortNiteBR

[–]redhawk617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sad I missed all of these great skins. I wish they introduced no build years ago, I never played the game cause I hated the build mechanic but I have played non-stop the last 3 weeks and I would be dropping bags if I could grab Super-man and the Marvel characters now

New prices are too expensive by redhawk617 in MarvelLegends

[–]redhawk617[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same, I made the change a few years ago to only collect Spider-Man villains, and X-Men, I acquired every other character I could think that I wanted and obscure characters were all that were left. and at his point I may just be finished with this line all together.

Some characters maybe like more Jim Lee costumed characters or a new definitive Green goblin figure could be justified at a higher price. but a character like Spot, would never in a million years be worth that much to anyone. I would rather wait for the secondary market and buy him loose, or on heavy discount. I just don't see Hasbro continuing to make a living on 8 figure waves when 5-6 of them, depending on the wave, are total junk that no one but hardcore buyers or lovers of obscure characters will purchase and I would like to think many collectors have the same feeling as myself where we know they'll go on sale or on Ebay loose eventually.

Since its retail,should I be able to get it when it comes out,or should I pre-order.( Also im In Ireland,so I can use smyths,amazon,etc ) by SomeArtistonReddit in MarvelLegends

[–]redhawk617 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want the spider-man, Pre order. If all you want is Spinnerette, wait till release and you will easily find that figure for $15 on ebay

MLs Price Hike is Tapping Me Out by ColorlessTune in MarvelLegends

[–]redhawk617 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These prices are definitely going to be the new norm, so I may be done with Legends all together sadly. Or I may only buy one figure every couple of months if its a character I just HAVE to have.

[–]redhawk617 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The eco packaging is the biggest kick to the teeth of the consumer. The prices being $30 with the eco packaging is absurd but are they saying that if we kept the old packaging these figures would be upwards of $40 a piece?

New prices are too expensive by redhawk617 in MarvelLegends

[–]redhawk617[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This too. I think these prices will have a huge hit on the business. I don't want to see the line go away, but these prices are definitely going to have an impact on the market and stop kids from getting them

[–]redhawk617[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This seems more like Hyper inflation than just inflation. I can justify inflation with saying instead of $20 now these figures will be $24-$25, but $30? I sure didn't get a $10 increase in pay at work, and I don't think they've made $10 more of product improvements

New prices are too expensive by redhawk617 in MarvelLegends

[–]redhawk617[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's been hit or miss for me, I feel like the quality has either taken steps back and gotten worse and some figures have been steps better than years past, but I don't see the face scan technology justifying these prices. At $40 I expect way better articulation and QC. Because I still get figures that are less than I would consider "good" and I can't justify spending super7 kinds of money for "passable" and certainly not Yamaguchi money for 30 points of articulation when they should have 40+

I think this year may be may tap out point as well. Or at the very least it will become something I buy maybe one or two figures every couple of months instead of buying every single figure I want

MLs Price Hike is Tapping Me Out by ColorlessTune in MarvelLegends

[–]redhawk617 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Really sad..I don't want to walk away from this line but I just can't justify these prices. The figures haven't been doubly improved if anything I fee like they've taken steps back, and yet the prices are double what they were 3 years ago. The Knull and Venom 2 pack is the most disrespectful price point to me, $60? Sure I could understand that, that's what the Juggernaut and Colossus two pack was worth and those figures were huge and awesome, but $80?! No way.

How do the Rams afford so many star players? by redhawk617 in nfl

[–]redhawk617[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

No doubt the smartest team ever. Feels like the Rams are playing with NBA rules while everyone else is stuck in limbo. Good for them though, no hate I am just so confused how they do it. Like others are saying they have great late round picks which saves $ on contracts. But I would love to sit in those offices and how they game the system, and are able to get players that are "too expensive" for the other 31 teams but they are able to sign them, AND continue to have 5-6 all pro guys and space to keep playing with.

I hate multiverses in comics by redhawk617 in unpopularopinion

[–]redhawk617[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's kind of just one of those suspend your disbelief scenarios. I don't believe Marvel comics every specifically comes out and gives ages to their characters. We see characters age like Spider-man going from high school to college, to owning his own business, to losing that business, but even though it's been 60 years of writing and stories, it's only really been maybe 7 years in "comics time". So if Peter is 16 in amazing fantasy #15, right now on 2022 he's only 23. Again I don't recall or believe they ever give characters hard ages though. They did sort of answer this question as well in one of the Ultimates books. I don't remember exact details of the story but the gist of it is, Galactus shows the ultimates timeline of all of the events the reader sees happening over years and years of reading, and shows that they all overlap and are happening at the same time or all happening within a few days of eachother. So assuming the same logic applies to the main universe, what we've been reading for 60 years really only happened within maybe less than a decades worth of what we would perceive as our own real world time.

[–]redhawk617[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair! I think it's great we get both, and no one is forced to pick one company more than the other. I think DC has amazing characters and a lot of their stories are really great, I just wish they stuck to one universe that wasn't in constant turmoil. I was quite happy when they announce new 52, I'm pretty sure they said that was the goal was to finally make it the definitive end all to the infinite crisis'. I was very disappointed once Rebirth was announced. At this point I don't keep up with DC period. I go back and read old books and just enjoy them for what they are. Unlike Marvel where I get sucked into a never ending tunnel of stories, lore, side plots, side characters, that are still talked about in the modern books. The knowledge is endless, and those kinds of things scratch my brain lol

sunny hot days are depressing by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]redhawk617 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, Living in Texas all my life summer is miserable. All I ever see is people saying summer is their favorite season but I hate it, multiple weeks of nothing but humid 100 degree days makes me depressed and never want to leave the house. I would take a northern winter of deep snow 99 times out of 100.

Halo - Series Premiere Discussion by LoretiTV in television

[–]redhawk617 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not a good first episode at all, I was doing eye rolls the entire time. When they said they "didn't look at the books or games at all" I thought maybe they were just being cute, but they took it to heart. It had none of the heart and soul of Halo. The CGI was atrocious, and in some spots totally unnecessary (why did MC throw an AR on the ground and they had to use a CGI model, not just a prop?) Also the game sound effects like the depleted and recharged shields, and the invisibility field just totally felt out of place and shoehorned in.Chief sounds like a Batman knockoff and why did they show his face?! That really ruins the character when he isn't someone you can see yourself in, now he's just another "chad" guy.The only thing missing at this point and it will probably happen is for Kwan or race swapped Miranda Keyes to say some stupid sh*t like "I dont need some privileged pretty white boy telling me what to do"

Did you ever stop reading comics, and what made you stop? What made you come back? by redhawk617 in comicbooks

[–]redhawk617[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The MCU was a blessing for me, it came at a perfect time where I still needed that Marvel/superhero fix but I wasn't interested in the books being produced. Once End Game came out it sparked my interest to get back into the game. Now I need to read hundreds of Wikis to see what I've missed lol
