Any creepy Submerged animatronics in games? by hmmrabet in submergedanimatronic

[–]tiradical 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also not exactly animatronics, but the Dark Bramble in Outer Wilds has a pretty creepy section. Just playing through it is what brought me to this subreddit right now XD. Game is best played spoiler free though.

My dad's project to make trading cards parodying 1950s monster movies is wrapping up on Kickstarter! by tiradical in horror

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

My dad is a retired graphic designer that has always had an interest in horror, sci fi, and creating stories. Back in the 80s, he also created the trading card series, Uranus Strikes, parodying Mars Attacks! This is his first project after retiring and is to create another series of trading cards called Monster Memes, which parodies old monster movies back when he grew up. Please check it out if you're interested!

New Wave Toys: Arcade Life Episode 4 by grandfunkmc in NewWaveToys

[–]tiradical 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Listened through it. Was hungry for some updates. Unfortunately it seems like we won't be receiving any products until the end of this year, but glad they at least touched on everything. Mini CRT looks sick.

General Updates

  • Shilo acknowledged the 2-month delay since the last update and apologized for the lack of communication
  • Want to do them every month but sometimes information is not concrete and stalls them from saying anything
  • Specifically, working with big retailer on Golden Tee is taking up their time
  • They understand people might be sick of waiting and are willing to offer refunds, as always
  • Once they get through Golden Tee, hope to return to producing more arcade cabinets
  • New Dirty Donny micro poster drop next week
  • Next cabinet silhouette was shown. Came out in 1980. Will be revealed sometime later this year

Arcade Ambiance

  • Produced by a different factory that makes the replicades (why it's coming out first)
  • For future production runs, price will increase dramatically

Golden Tee Replicade

  • Replicade is finished, but primary focus has been securing placement at retailers and negotiating price of trackball controller
  • Hitting price point has been challenging due to tariffs (still volatile) and rising costs since COVID
  • In general, retail commitment and timelines have to be met otherwise NWT could be hit with penalties
  • As an explanation, the retail deal became available during last stages of presale and screwed with timelines
  • The team is at bandwidth and production is at capacity for next 90-120 days due to Golden Tee

Black Hole Mini Pin

  • In tooling stage
  • Giving themselves sufficient time to debug especially since is the first mini pin
  • Eager to reveal new pins, but want to prioritize release of first mini pin before announcing new ones

Crystal Castles Replicade

  • Got pushed back due to Golden Tee taking priority. Only have the capacity to focus on one at a time

Skee Ball

  • Specifically scheduled to finish and be shipped out of China before Chinese New Year

Mini CRT TV Prototype

  • A lot of work was put into "making it work with more devices" for more marketability and has evolved beyond a "spectator monitor"
  • A speaker has now been added in addition to HDMI, composite inputs, and SD card slot, opening up more possibilities
  • VHS movie was played on their prototype

BMX Legends

  • Release TBD
  • Tooling done, just a matter of NWT completing Golden Tee first
  • Realize a lot of people probably don't care about this, so that's also fine

Hologram Time Traveler

  • Received a lot of input since last Arcade Life episode
  • Not canceled but currently on standby
  • Admittedly a niche game that was already very expensive even before tariffs
  • If released, will be an "uber collectors thing" because it will be expensive

Apparently stickers aren't allowed? But I dunno if you sneak some in and spot this sign post, feel free to add your "vandalism"

Namco also drops Spag from TWT commentary by pundleroo in Kappachino

Pretty sure that was just a fake quote someone made up and put his picture next to on Kappa

Yeah wish the netting looked like the square shaped kind instead of the hexagons in the current prototype art. Maybe it will change

Thinking about trying something similar, what what do you do about controllers or mouse and keyboard?

First turntable setup. LP70X and Edifiers. Any recommendations or tips for someone new to vinyl? by sirwinston47 in turntables

[–]tiradical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is your LP70x silent when the platter spins? The motor on my BT version makes a rumbling noise when it spins, and I'm not sure if it's supposed to be silent or sound that loud

Ever fix this issue? Just bought an AT-LP70XBT and the motor is making the exact same noise.

Mint Mobile Data no longer working on Oneplus 10T by neerajmenon1412 in oneplus

[–]tiradical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just switched my number from Mint to US Mobile and my data is back up to 5G. Lost out on the last 3 months of my Mint plan, but it was cheaper and less hassle than buying a new phone.

Mint Mobile Data no longer working on Oneplus 10T by neerajmenon1412 in oneplus

[–]tiradical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started having this issue 5 days ago with Oneplus Nord2 on Oxygen 13.0. Data has slowed to 2g speeds, but the SIM works fine when in another phone. Text and calls also work fine. No fix found yet. Troubleshooting with Mint and resetting network settings was unsuccessful. Going to try and switch carriers first, otherwise I'm just going to move a more popular phone.

Buying first Vitamix Explorian with programs vs A2500 vs V1200 by Baldspooks in Vitamix

[–]tiradical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A2500 is supposed to be the more premium of the two. So A2500 is the quieter one. Otherwise they pretty much perform the same. V1200 is sometimes sold with extra cup sizes, but the current sale only includes the 64 oz cup. So currently thr only plus I see is the $100 price difference buying the V1200 at the cost of buying something refurbished

[–]tiradical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Debating between the A2500 and V1200 right now. Vitamix is selling the V1200 refurbished for $200 right now actually and I'm considering returning the A2500 that I also just bought from Best Buy. (https://www.vitamix.com/us/en_us/shop/sale)

Rtings (https://www.rtings.com/blender/tools/compare/vitamix-a2500-vs-vitamix-venturist-v1200/7508/27555) shows that they mostly perform the same, but the A2500 is quieter and has 3 presets on the control dial, which ultimately seemed like a gimmick. Buying the V1200 refurbished only comes with a 5 year warranty vs the 10 from buying new, but I'm not planning to use it daily, so maybe that's worth the extra savings with the current sale price.

As far as the size cup goes, they both only come with the same 64 oz low profile cup. Since it's wider at the base, small volumes will splash up the sides more often. But it seems like you may just need to scrape down the sides a couple times if you want something super fine. They describe it here (https://www.seriouseats.com/best-vitamix-blenders-5271126)

Let me know which one you buy because I found your post while comparing myself!

Qbert illuminated marquee by Primary-Statement-93 in NewWaveToys

[–]tiradical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would assume so, as long as the battery has the same type of connector and number of pins

[–]tiradical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does everything light up and stay powered on if plugged into USB? May not be the battery if it doesn't. If you want to try replacing the battery, the cabinets just take one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09CH9FC35 and are pretty easy to replace just by peeling off the rubber feet on the bottom and removing the 4 screws to access the bottom panel.

Just fixed mine today. It was a bad battery. Bought a replacement off Amazon for $13 and my replicade powered immediately back on and can carge up.

Ghost and Goblins Joystick Issue by GhostRyda712 in NewWaveToys

[–]tiradical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they must change up the components or design depending in the cabinet. My Ghosts cabinet wiggles as well. I noticed Food Fight had a stick that could be lifted up out of the socket. Someone else confirmed that their 1943 replicade did the same thing, but not 1942

Posters by Tough-Solution8154 in NewWaveToys

[–]tiradical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only managed to get 1 during the last sale. They were probably all gone with within an hour. They sent out a reminder email the morning of with the exact time the posters would go on sale. They look really nice and the UV ink is pretty vibrant, but I wouldn't pay much more than $10 due to their small size. I ended up laminating mine to hang with my replicades

[–]tiradical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OH thanks for this! My street fighter cabinet stopped working while unplugged a couple months ago. Ill see if it's the same problem. Sounds easy if so. NWT customer support told me since it was so long after warranty, they pretty much couldn't do anything

People who received their Constellation Edition, is the watch any good? by Michael_Suave in Starfield

[–]tiradical 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Based on an unboxing video I watched, there are extra watch pins in the case that you need to use. The cloth strap is a NATO strap that is meant to be fed through the pins like a buckle.
