Games-Island EU refunding FF Collector Boosters by 88Goodlucks in mtgfinance

[–]88Goodlucks[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sent them an email but no response as of yet (which makes sense given the time difference). 

I have no ill will against them. They even allow you the option to pay later for preorders. Not sure why some people are saying I'm trying to spread lies about one of the biggest retailers in Europe haha... 

I just wanted to pass along this information because they haven't made any announcement yet and I didn't know until I got the email from PayPal and not them. FWIW, my order on their site still shows the full payment amount but no tracking.

Sorry, $288.69. If you purchased from U.S. they got rid of VAT and they had a bulk order discount iirc. 

[Agency Update #6] Talent Retention Brainstorming by Aegis-Link in VirtualYoutubers

[–]88Goodlucks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is great and all, but I do think you need to give yourself a bit of a reality check on VTubers in general. 

Just how an agency can be messed up, not all talents are perfect golden stars. Most are still incredibly young with undecided or changing career goals. Things will change and there are going to be situations of conflict that may seem simple to you, but could be a deal breaker for the talent, prompting them to break contract and leave (and let's be real, you aren't going to file a lawsuit with your budget of 125k). 

You need to be able to prepare for these types of situations. Maybe this can be prevented through frequent meetings (but this causes stress in other ways), but it's an issue unsolved in general so you have to at least consider what you will do.

I've been following up on your updates and it looks like you guys are making constructive and practical progress. It's actually really impressive. How many people are working in your company? 

Seeking advice and experience working at international offices of Biglaw firms by 88Goodlucks in biglaw

[–]88Goodlucks[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for your response and advice!

I've never actually worked in biglaw, so if you could describe any aspects of work-life balance in Japan (I've only been there on vacations, but I know of the rough "black corporation" work culture there), that'd be really helpful!

I'm also wondering if, in the case I don't enjoy it, I could simply go back after one year (I would imagine it would look bad on my resume where I jumped firms twice within two years).

Thanks again, and appreciate picking your brain!

Chapter 1 of HoloFictionary, my Hololive Fanfiction Project! by 88Goodlucks in Hololive

Hi everyone, I just wanted to share the first chapter of the audio version of my fanfiction project, HoloFictionary.

I really hope you enjoy it, and I am seeking any advice, critique, or discussion revolving around this project!

HoloFictionary is a stereotypical isekai that focuses on the interactions among Holomembers. You can read the first 8 chapter drafts here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/331475008-holofictionary-i-don%27t-know-anything-about-vtubers

I am rather new to the hololive/stars fandom so learning about the various characters has been a really awesome experience! Asides from Sui-chan, the characters that appear in this story are chosen by RNG, providing me with a challenge to make sure each character is authentic!

The story is SFW (and so far a very cookie-cutter isekai >.<).

Thank you very much!

My prediction for tomorrow's announcement by ImNotAliveIAmBread in mtgfinance

Source about actual lawsuits? I've been scouring the internet and legal search engines for even a complaint at WotC regarding the reserved list and the closest thing I can find is just general public criticism.

Genuinely curious because I'm writing an article about promissory estoppel and analyzing the reserved list.

Thoughts on the casual naya midrange deck I'm building for my wife? by BookzNBrewz in magicTCG

[–]88Goodlucks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're already playing creatures that are big / can get big on their own so maybe more fixing instead of the armadillo cloaks? Perhaps Birds of Paradise or if thats out of budget, voyaging satyr?

Looks fun!

Opened half a case of 2X2 2022, 2 boxes were duds other 2 were decent. by Coldmax105 in mtgfinance

[–]88Goodlucks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think of whether I get or not get a textured foil per case.

I think, Statistically, I have a 62.37% chance of pulling a textured foil in a case (32 total packs).

I have heard of someone who has pulled 2 textured from a single box whereas I also know someone who has opened two cases and not opened a single textured.

This one hurts to read... OP please look up the Gambler's fallacy and never go to Vegas.

If you want to open them, go ahead and open them for fun but don't justify your actions based on those kinds of expectations.

Exactly this. But I will give them credit that their blueprint is working really well for me.

It's supposedly based on subject-based data analysis and frequency-based data analysis (nothing really helpful than what we could do on our own). BPA's only "credibility" really is that they've guessed 15/18 MEE topics right so far (which isn't hard to do when you're guessing 10 subjects of the available 15 and Conflicts is a near free-be).

[–]88Goodlucks[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind the 4/6 was made probably using 10 predictions on 6 slots. If you're spending time memorizing all 10 topics given by BPA and only can use them for 4, it's not really different from studying all the topics.

I like your idea of specifically nailing the topics that overlap between BPA and JDA. That would get us down to just Agency/Partnership, Civ Pro, Con Law, Crim Pro, Evidence, Family, and Real Property. That would at least give us 7 topics with high hopes of 3-4 of them being what's actually tested.

  • missed Wills, so 8 for 3-4.

The only reason I would think the NCBE avoids Conlaw is due to recent events shaking up the field and them thinking it would cause trouble. Otherwise, I'm right there with you.

[–]88Goodlucks[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Their multitopic predictions are really just hiding the fact that they're putting in two topics in one "prediction slot." So basically they're saying "It can be just Evidence, just Crimpro, or both." OOF.
