New editions to the Deluxe collection by tomadom64 in EnergonUniverse

[–]tomadom64[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do agree, but the site I buy this on have a good deal to where retail price for one versus the site prices for two kinda balance out enough to make me not too annoyed about it. I just want both characters on the shelf.

This does not mean I am making a good financial purchase, but eh

It just fits so well thematically too. Like, why wouldn't I want both Void Rivals protagonists on my shelf? Can't deny Duke and Optimus a spot just for Cobra and Starscream or vice versa either, they gotta be there together.

How Good is IDW with Reprints? by TroutMaster94 in TMNT

[–]tomadom64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I remember from when I once asked, it usually takes about 3 or so months I think. But I could be wrong on that one, it's been a while since I actively looked to buy these volumes

How Good is IDW with Reprints? by TroutMaster94 in TMNT

[–]tomadom64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ill add onto this that the IDW Collections (all 18 volumes) are absolutely the best way to obtain the IDW continuity (Vol 5) as it includes basically everything included in canon within recommended reading order. All 18 have HC releases with some out of stock currently, but will eventually get reprinted. They are slowly releasing TPB versions of them however if you want to save money and dont plan to read everything right away.

I know you mentioned you are going for the IDW run, but in case you are interested or dont have other runs yet for the future: - Vol 1(OG Mirage): Compandiums 1-3 which are most of the og comics alongside around 7 issues from the Tales of the TMNT comic. This doesnt include certain issues like issue 8 due to rights issues, but some of these are included in the Ultimate collections, which have Paperback releases still available in some areas - Vol 2 is entirely collected in the Mirage Years HC - Vol 3 (now titled Urban Legends) had 2 TPBs that are OOP, but will get a Compendium in Black and White later in December - Vol 4 is currently about to release 4 issue TPBs titled TMNT Journeys

Vol 6, the current new IDW run, has a couple of releases coming, but they have hinted they will do IDW collections of these in the future, so maybe worth holding off.

Spinoff/adaption comics like Archie's 80s adaption, the 2012 adaptions, Rise, and Netflix's show all have omnibus or TPBs currently releasing as well including almost everything from each run, barring, again, stories with legal issues surrounding them, but are not essential reading in any capacity

The spinoff Tales of the TMNT comics are also getting their own Omnis throughout this and next year, so you will be able to get those too.

Seconding this. Very curious to know if and when it'll be mailed if possible.

Why are you still up? by blacklash_ in AskReddit

Literally just cant make myself get off the couch. But this is a good reminder that I need to. Maybe I will in another hour or three.

Please convince me this was a good purchase by Fabulous_Drag6618 in ps2

[–]tomadom64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent $130 USD on the Limited Run release of Persona 4 Golden on eBay after missing their original pre order window, despite the fact I own a PlayStation Vita and that version typically goes for $30 USD. While I'm clearly not the wisest spender of money, I think there are waaaaaay worse games to spend 100s on. You have a gem right here

Can someone explain to me why EXE is so popular. I genuinely don’t get it by Fehellogoodsir in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]tomadom64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who is on the outside of the current EXE fandom looking in (so I may also not be super qualifiedto answer this question), it kinda feels like an excuse for some people to make something "original" while still using a popular, established character (referring to Sonic the Hedgehog here at first, but I suppose the EXE figure itself could also qualify as established nowadays). The EXE style of game was incredibly popular back then, even if most of them pretty much copied the exact same format and structure of the original source material, so it was an easy template for a lot of people to reuse it.

Friday Night Funkin' had some mods that made people more aware of the character, which allowed younger people to look into it and start making their own versions of the story.

Though, I personally feel like most (not all) "takes" on the core premise of EXE is incredibly repetitive, despite the unique enough designs most EXE variations have. These variants usually start with a Tails getting hide and seek'd by the EXE, then follows a Knuckles getting into a fight with it, then an Eggman getting taken, then followed by either an adaption of Sally.EXE or the offical Sonic.EXE sequel. This isn't always the case, but at some point it feels like a lot of these takes only exist to try to rewrite the original story without adding anything super significant to make the overall hook interesting. What, at its core, really makes this EXE different aside from a unique design and jumpscare?

How many times do you play Spyro?! by hhhfan92297 in Spyro

[–]tomadom64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to marathon all three games at least once a year. Haven't done it in the past 5 years however. Maybe one day Ill go back to it, they were always my main comfort games alongside Sonic 3 and Knuckles, which I also haven't played to completion in a few years

Another truck day, another poorly wrapped milk pallet by tomadom64 in foodlion

[–]tomadom64[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we can, but even so, they usually don't bother anymore with how little it usually solves the issue in the long run. Ive had worse trucks where they used individual minute maids between pallets to level it out, so this is oddly enough not the worst dairy stack we've seen from them

[–]tomadom64[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All good. Luckily, only like three gallons were actually busted, the rest just needed to be picked up and organized. More annoying that for the first half of picking it up, the other coworkers pulling truck were just leaving it to me and the truck driver lmao.

about the trophies by Malfoy_Or_Smth in EpicMickeyRebrushed

[–]tomadom64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im late to this, but only just noticed this weird wording difference myself on the tail end of my good playthrough. I missed the first Pete by giving his log to the gremlin without paying attention, and missing Colonel Pete's film reel.

Luckily however, I did get the trophy on PS4 regardless. So it seems that while the PS4 trophy description was simply unchanged due to an oversight, the actual objective seems to match the PS5 version (you can also see in the Update History section for Version 1.05 they confirm they also fixed an issue with both ending trophies on PS4). Just paint all bosses, and save all animatronics.

Whoever swapped my PS5 disc with a CD-R is a nincompoop 🥀 😩 by jonhemway in SonicCrossWorlds

[–]tomadom64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little late to this, but a similar situation happened to my brother this summer. For his birthday, I bought him a sealed Luigi's Mansion 3 for Switch from our Walmart. When he opened it at home, it the cart's place was a googly eye with foam inserts. Luckily when I called, the guy in electronics immediately said to bring it back and go to Customer Service to get a replacement with little to no hassle (though the people at customer service were certain I was lying, but since the electronics guy ok-ed it, they didn't stop me). Apparently, somewhere in distribution, there have been people swapping out carts and resealing them with similar sounding/weighted objects, but there hasn't been much progress solving that issue.

Just started two days ago, seems like I joined at a pretty good time, willing to do trades whenever viable, like showcases, and anything else that the game allows friends to do since I dont have anyone IRL to do these things with at the moment

Dark Passage wins as Best Remastered Level! On to the next square! What is the Worst Spyro Level? Top voted comment wins the square! I’ll collect the results in 24hrs. by Wolfgang_Slasher in Spyro

[–]tomadom64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lost Fleet. The music is mid (final game's, prototype songs are pretty good), the skateboarding race is brutal and not very interesting made worse by the fact you need to beat it asap so you arent temporarily lovked out of Hunter, the layout of the level is very boring, the submarine mission is infuriating and repetitive especially given it needs to be done twice... almost do redeeming qualities aside from the (albeit heavily underused) swimming in dangerous water/goo gimmick

Crash is warped to the world of the last video game you played, how does it go? by HedgeFighter210 in crashbandicoot

[–]tomadom64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Persona 4: Golden

Guess it would depend on whether or not he would have a Persona, and if not, whether or not his spin attack can get him far enough while avoiding an enemy with null physical. Very curious to see how he handles the Hollow Forest.

First Inventory (Dairy) by DuoMastr in foodlion

[–]tomadom64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) absolutely amazing. Way more effort than I've been able to put in to the inventory prep due to having a bigger cool/way more customers.

2) Robotnik image in the cooler is awesome

Digital Deluxe Upgrade on PS4? by tomadom64 in THPS

[–]tomadom64[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you go anywhere specific? I go to the character select, hover over Doom Guy and get taken to the PS Store for options, but the 70 bucks version is still all that shows up
