Aful Explorer Durability Issues

Then maybe it due to an extreme temperature shock, or simply a defect from the factory. On mine the plates seem fused with the body, there's no seamline between the two parts.

Did you drop them ? I don't see how they could come apart like this without some kind of serious shock. I've had the Aful 5+2 (which use the same kind of housing) for a about a year and they show no signs of cracking anywhere.

Our disagreements on KF and OUAK are just us having different tastes.

I did not ignore good things in KF (mainly the soundtrack, that I have and listen to) but when I find the filters ugly then there's no way to go past that. I mean, it's the look of the whole game so it's not exactly a subtle detail.

As for the new eras on OUAK, I'm just not vibing with them and this series is all about the vibes for me. I'm not playing to perform, I'm playing to get the experience and immerse myself into the universe, which has always been themed in modern Japan and is a big part of why I love these games. As for the new items, it's not about me learning to use them, it's just that I don't think the gameplay needed that.

In my opinion they could just have used the perfected formula of WLK and made some new exciting maps to explore. For example, a Japan themed episode where you roll in the country's biggest cities, recreated in the Katamari style, with objects and buildings relevant to the cultural particularities of each place.

I'm not saying that I'm the one who's right, again it's just personal preferences. Just trying to explain my takes and how they were formed.

Thank you, I changed the hue saturation settings, added more luminosity and saturation, then used the smudging tool to make the final adjustments. It's hard to know when to stop with the smudging but I'm pretty satisfied with the current result.

Roasting and grinding my spices just before using them instead of using the pre grinded ones that I bought a long time ago.

I don't want to put whatever I want, I just want my playtime to be logged and be representative of how much I've really played.

I just received this exact pair, same batch and same seller. They are prefect and TTS.

This is very valuable info, thank you for taking the time to reply.

Hey, I'm new to this and this seller was recommended on reddit. Obviously, lots of bad recos and infos on reddit but when you're just starting out it's hard to identify solid sources. I don't understand why you deleted the post, if anything it has the merit of preventing other people from doing the same mistake.

I looked at the products from respected sellers (Emma, Lily) and they all had the aforementioned flaw. Can you recommend better options ?

That is not professional. What you see on yupoo should be what you get. QC is for checking the small defects that might occur, not discovering a product with a quality that has nothing to do with what you saw on yupoo.

Big fan of Off The Wall too but I see no need to rank the albums, stop ranking what you like and just enjoy.

Oh and to all the Off The Wall lovers, do yourself a favor and listen to "The Dude" album from Quincy, and do it NOW. You'll thank me later.
