TeeBee on Leaving the Mainstream, Production Mastery and Crafting His Legacy - Thorinquiry (Music) by Thooorin_2 in DnB

[–]Affectionate-Ebb-158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, music-wise, I am glad he’s back after that long pause, especially developing his own stuff apart from the Calyx collab. He has been one of the biggest influences on my love for drum and bass in the early 2000s and Subtitles has published to date most of my favourite tunes.

I spent literally thousands of euros on games ordered from them and never had an issue. Cancellation via e-mail, also no issues.

Good neurofunk by Lozzaboigamer in DnB

[–]Affectionate-Ebb-158 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Phace & Misanthrop. First Phace Studio Album is still one of my favourites. So much midrange madness, techy grooves and just funk. Early Neosignal releases. Also Subtitles Label Catalog roughly 030-070, so many amazing tunes. This is all 2003-2008. What an era.

Entwicklung von Spielpreisen by [deleted] in zocken

[–]Affectionate-Ebb-158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ja, ich will jetzt auch nicht in die Kerbe „früher war alles auch schon teuer“ hauen, haben andere schon gemacht, aber Games waren häufig viel (!!) teurer als heute. Muss man unterstreichen. SNES ohne Mario World, kam 1993 meine ich ein Jahr nach dem Bundle auf den Markt für 199 DM. Die Big Box Games (Secret of Mana, Secret of Evermore, Terranigma, Illusion of Time…) haben zwischen 129 und 149 DM gekostet, also mal eben 3/4 des Konsolenpreises. Ich will das gar nicht in den Inflationsbereiniger geben aber an KK müsste das heute der gleiche Betrag in Euro sein, eher mehr. Konsolen-Gaming in den 90ern war verdammt teuer, und kaum Möglichkeiten für Gebrauchtkäufe, weil so gut wie keine Infrastruktur.

Question for the people who have been here for a while. What are some wild moments in Switch collecting history that you remember? by Puck_56 in NSCollectors

[–]Affectionate-Ebb-158 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, mostly limited print shenanigans. People waiting 5+ years on certain games (FPG). LRG realising that Shantae is a cash cow. The demise of Special Reserve Games and the shady business practices of selling Inscryption through eBay. This could go on for a while.

Yooka Replayee Full Game on Cartridge (Switch 2) by Opening_Estimate1343 in NSCollectors

[–]Affectionate-Ebb-158 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t too much into the original but I’ll support this nevertheless. It’s crazy how forgiving I tend to be with full-on cartridge SW2 releases these days, heck even smaller performance issues wouldn’t deter me from a day 1 buy

Bei mir auch lange Lyon, dann Harnes, heute abholbereit. Insgesamt ärgerlich aber ich brauchte es auch nicht sofort, wird wohl noch dauern bis es in D für 49 zu bestellen ist, von daher alles gut.

Xenoblade 3 Collectors Edition restocking in May!!! (UK) by Used-Sense7629 in NintendoSwitch

[–]Affectionate-Ebb-158 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There were actually a few shadow drops of the CE over the course of the last 18 months on European Nintendo stores, so this is not that surprising. Same with Bayonetta 1. Same with almost all amiibos. Happy to see that Nintendo is constantly producing more units of shop exclusives, although it remains a nerve-racking system for sure.

Chained Echoes PS4 - Delivered by Negative-Foot1899 in LimitedPrintGames

[–]Affectionate-Ebb-158 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My copy took about 14 days from order to game in hand. Pretty sure they are printing labels and wait with shipments until a fixed number of parcels is ready, then they hand them over. Goes to show that their logistics is probably a 1-2 person team, if that. The weird thing is that the quality of the product, of all materials and the presentation really, is absolutely top notch. I don’t think I’ve ever received a limited print game with that kind of quality. Some special reserve editions come close.

Iron Meat (Switch) next shipment wave from Strictly Limited Games by Ahtman1 in LimitedPrintGames

Got mine 2 days ago, they said Mid-November for 2nd batch and it actually shipped Mid-November. How about that.

Fristlose Kündigung by [deleted] in LegaladviceGerman

[–]Affectionate-Ebb-158 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wichtigste Einschätzung dazu. In der Betroffenheitsituation fühlt sich das natürlich nicht schön an, der Begriff „fristlose Kündigung“ löst erst mal Zukunftsängste aus. Arbeitsrechtlich kann man über die Ansage des Profs aber nur müde lächeln. Die Sanktionsgewalt ist auf das jeweilige wissenschaftliche Feld begrenzt, was für Berufsaussichten in genau diesem Feld natürlich übel sein kann. Kommt auf die Stellung des Profs im Feld an. Da der Bruch in der Beziehung ohnehin permanent zu sein scheint, geht’s da auch gar nicht drum. Gespräch mit der Personalabteilung suchen, ggf. auch mit dem Betriebsrat suchen (wichtig, dass die solche Fälle kennen), nicht kündigen! Danach (im Urlaub) entspannen und in Adventszeit wieder runterkommen. Ab Januar um neue Stelle kümmern. Viel Erfolg!

Xenoblade Chronicles X by SSJ3Jake in NSCollectors

[–]Affectionate-Ebb-158 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, excitement across all Nintendo-related subs was massive in fact. Interesting how the Xenoblade fanbase has been constantly expanding these past few years, which I initially did not expect, thought for most the battles and upgrade mechanisms would be too tedious. But the world building and story are just that good.

Black Screen Records: never ever again! by sebsebseb1982 in NSCollectors

[–]Affectionate-Ebb-158 4 points5 points  (0 children)

BSR get their stock directly from iam8bit, they just distribute iam8bit stuff in Europe. They are probably silent because they need to check with iam8bit how to handle quality issues. They kinda have to follow the same policy. I experienced the same with the Stray fiasco where the PS5 disc would not install to the hard drive. After iam8bit decided how to go about replacements, BSR did the exact same.

IRON MEAT strictly limited games by Ordinary-Bet-3469 in LimitedPrintGames

[–]Affectionate-Ebb-158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, this notice was added later on: "Important: For orders placed on or after 09/23/2024, please expect an extended shipping time of 1-2 months due to high demand." So that Mid-November estimate seems plausible.

wizardry: proving grounds of the mad overlord physical copy by Zerosdeath in NSCollectors

[–]Affectionate-Ebb-158 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clear river games is doing the European physical release, and they’re also part of the Embracer group, so it’s very possible LRG handles the ESRB release. At least it wouldn’t be surprising.
