    Original Hardware vs. Emulation

    If there were truly such a thing as perfect emulation, I'd probably go that route. I've certainly played plenty of games using various forms of emulation, and a lot of it can be pretty good. But inevitably, I'll run into something that isn't quite right, and it tends to pull me completely out of...

    Transformers Collaborative (Transformers X Star Wars: The Mandalorian)

    My guess is it comes down to two factors. First is cost. You can buy a HISS tank on Pulse for $27. Most of the Collaborative figures are in the $30-$40 dollar range, and you get a lot of complaining about the price in those figures. The more expensive the figure gets, the more the complaints go...

    Transformers Collaborative (Transformers X Star Wars: The Mandalorian)

    For whatever it's worth, I've never been much of a G.I. Joe fan, and I was fully aware of the HISS tank. Never actually viewed any media that featured it, but I've seen it all over nonetheless without ever going looking for it or anything else Joe-related. Anyway, I know there are rumors of two...

    Can no longer subscribe to Transformers comics via Comixology

    Thanks for that! Even with the step-by-step instructions, I actually had to Ctrl+F Backups to find the link. It's certainly not hidden, but I found it ridiculously easy to overlook. I went ahead and bought War's End just as a test. It shows up in my digital order history, but not in my...

    Can no longer subscribe to Transformers comics via Comixology

    So as mentioned previously, my understanding had been that you could still download already-owned DRM-free copies after the merge. Now that Comixology's site just redirects to Amazon, I'm not finding any option for that. The only option for downloading at all that I can find is to download a...

    May I know what is confidence?

    Can no longer subscribe to Transformers comics via Comixology

    I got to thinking earlier. What would convince me to set aside my grievances and go all in for DRMed comics? I'd bet it'll never happen, but I came up with an idea that would get me to buy in. Essentially, stop treating digital comics like a printed book displayed on a screen and start making...

    Netflix Soundwave WFC

    I honestly don't really care all that much whether we get the Netflix mold, or a new/modified mold. And if it is the same mold, whether it's a straight repack or redeco. Hell, it can be the Centurion Soundwave tape deck accessory for all I care. I just want a damn WfC Micromaster Buzzsaw...

    This doesn't seem to be a BBTS issue. Distribution of Tigatron has been really weird. I originally had him preordered from Amazon right when he was first listed, and they completely cancelled that order. And I don't know when he came into stock at Pulse, but I know I checked there fairly...

    Transformers: Last Bot Standing - IDW Publishing comic miniseries

    So the May solicitations offer another cover image, and appears it is indeed Roddy, but looks like it could be the MTMTE/LL Roddy. If it is him, and not just a case of reusing the design, I wonder if it's the beaten-down main universe version, or the dimension-hopping quantum duplicate. And is...

    So today's the first new comic release after the merge. I cancelled my subscriptions on Amazon once they'd been switched over. However, I did confirm today's Transformers #40 is still available with a CBZ/PDF backup available on the Comixology site. Not sure when that's getting turned off...

    No idea how long he's been up, but Tigatron (both versions) is available to order from Amazon again. He's supposed to be arriving in about a week. Of course, Amazon is also where I originally ordered Tigatron, until they cancelled him on me. So I'll believe it when he's in my hands.

    Disney & Pixar present- "LIGHTYEAR!"

    "Show" doesn't refer exclusively to TV shows. Personally, I use show all the time for pretty much anything on the TV screen, other than video games. Actually, even then in the context of a group watching someone playing a game. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/show

    Toy yellow removal

    I've always worried about any potential chemical reactions damaging the plastic with these sort of fixes. I know I remember reading about people running into problems with the plastic cracking on MP seekers a number of years ago, and the realization that everyone who had the problem had all used...

    Inverted Controls

    There was a time where I wanted the Y axis inverted, but the X axis non-inverted, mainly due to playing a lot of flight sims like X-Wing and TIE Fighter in the past. I'm not sure when it changed, but at some point it became natural for me to use the right stick to physically move the camera...

    Damn. I'm in the same boat. I won't keep buying digital comics if I'm locked into using a particular app and can't download it in an open format. Please let us know what you hear back! Comixology doesn't offer DRM-free downloads of all titles. It's up to the individual publishers to decide...

    Yeah, no way to do them en masse that I know of. I found the site would let me download 6 books at a time, so I'd normally start a batch, then check back in a few minutes to start the next batch. You can sort by last backup date, or you can filter your list down to only books you haven't...

    I was already planning on ditching Comixology as soon as I learned they're getting rid of the backups. That was the one thing that convinced me to give digital comics a try in the first place. If they're gone, so am I. Just really sucks that this is happening before IDW's run is ending anyway...

    I'm still amazed that they didn't include additional arms as part of the package. I just got mine yesterday and really like it, but that's a pretty big failure to include multiple ships explicitly intended to go with Unicron without any way to mount them on the stand made to display the figures...
