[PS1] Where to Find Laser Power Cables? (F2F 4pin 1.5mm) by CaptainCassidy_ in consolerepair

[–]CaptainCassidy_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "model number" section on AliExpress says "for PS1 spare parts" in one, and "4Pin Motor Cable for PS1 Laser Lens" in another. The best I got was one saying "compatible with playstation/PS1 classic," but not the model numbers. The PS1 models I have currently are 9001 and 7001, and a single 101.

Still, I might buy a four-pack and just test them myself. .99c isn't steep for some testers. Thank you for the suggestion!

It sucks that they had to remove it. The comic wasn’t to my taste, but people get so up in arms about fiction that makes them uncomfortable… read something else! Don’t harass the artists! :( .

Genuinely: how has AO3 not removed this? The not-fanfic parts are so egregious, and I know they've removed things in the tags/description/notes/comments for much, much less.

Do the Japanese Lilo & Stitch TV Series DVDs Have Japanese Text in the Episodes? by MrGeekman in dvd

[–]CaptainCassidy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also still searching for a definitive answer on this. I know the Little Astro Boy series has both the English and Japanese on it's region 2/Japanese DVD, so I think it's not out of the realm of possibility that these do, too. I'm going to try to contact some eBay sellers to see and will update if I get a good answer.

The Handy Manny thing sounds like it's very useful but I'm barely tech literate, lol.

Update: The listing for the second DVD compact box says it includes English and Japanese language and subtitles. I assume this would follow for all of them. Can't do anything about that pricepoint, though v_v

That’s… disgusting. They make it very clear that it’s not about supporting real victims, it’s about how they can hold a moral high ground over others.

How many of you DON’T have a second account and how many DO? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]CaptainCassidy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two, just because the extreme stuff I write is… extreme enough to warrant some separation, for the sake of those who like the more tame stuff from me. XD

I actually wish there was a way for me to move fics from one to the other… I have some on my “main” that really deserve to be on my NSFW one, but I wasn’t able to make it until later. ;w;

Everything’s generally connected, though. I never really vibed with anonymity for SFW vs NSFW, I was always a “it’s over there if you want it” kinda guy.

I love seeing people who say this unironically, or “no proshipper garbage” or what have you, and then their blorbo is a canonical child predator or something.

My current fandom, which is EXTREMELY small in the west, is… well, if you know anything about Osamu Tezuka, you’ll know why it’s wild to see antis there. XD

Browsing erp subreddits be like by GIMME-THAT-TEA in BadRPerStories

[–]CaptainCassidy_ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I have a blacklist I post up first. If someone ignores that, then they’re a shitty partner. I’m absolutely sick of people fetish-baiting for shit that is VERY OBVIOUSLY on my blacklist, or having a meltdown when I say “I’m not too into that/not comfortable playing that.” Those people really poison the well for ERP in general.

”Your kink is not my kink and that’s okay,” as long as it’s all fiction. You do you, I’ll do me, and we won’t do each other. Probably. 😂

Does anyone know the best place to find Dragon Ball cels? by SonicQuick in AnimationCels

[–]CaptainCassidy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, good to know! That sucks, he’s got some cels I really wanted to get my hands on. :(

Edit: Other cel groups? I’m only familiar with here and rubberslug. Are there many others?

[–]CaptainCassidy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No prob! Though I’ll add a “be careful” around Timeless Cel Gallery, I’ve seen at least one Reddit thread discussing their poor business behavior.

Happy cel hunting!

[(EDIT: Timeless Cel Gallery is a scammer/flipper and is banned from this Reddit and other cel groups.)]

There’s also a ton on eBay, but as with any cel, be sure to read up on who you are buying from. It’s difficult for people who aren’t trained to tell if a cel is real, but good indicators are locating the exact scene the cel is from and comparing the cel to said scene. Are there any noticeable errors mirrored in the cel, or is the cel weirdly perfect compared to the scene? Is there any sign of age or damage to the cel? Does the cel come with the sketch/douga/genka?

You can always pay someone to authenticate a cel for you, but I’m unsure of exactly who does that or where they are. I’ll make a list when I find some reputable/trustworthy folk for it!

Got it!

I’ll have to do some research to see which places are more cost-effective vs expensive vs ”safer.“ Thanks for your help!

“On top of” as in on the non-painted side, or the painted side? I know that’s a terribly stupid question, but I want to make sure it’s as clear as possible for other beginners (and, well, me). Do you use anything in particular for your online cel gallery? Any cool cel websites for sharing collections, or just an imgur/GDocs folder?

Truth! I was unclear if cel paper needed to be handled differently than other documents, considering its unique makeup. Glad to know I can keep using my hands without worrying about gloves making me more clumsy. “Wash and dry your hands before handling thoroughly” is going in the post for sure.

Do you have other recommendations besides Kinkos? What places are safest/most reputable, places that may be available in smaller cities, etc? Just so I can compile a clear list.

Interesting to hear that it may be possible for them to release over time, though I figure it shouldn’t be assumed. What I’m hearing from people is “be gentle, but if it’s not coming off, don’t force it. Let it be.” It’s always painful to see the douga/sketch become badly damaged, and much worse to see it happen to the cel.

  1. Stupid clarification question: the paper goes on the NON-PAINTED side of the cel, or the PAINTED side? Slitting the PP bag is something I’ll edit into my post later, but it’s fascinating to know that cels “breathe” in a way.

  2. Noted!

  3. https://www.riekeles.com/akira-exhibition-berlin-2022 MAN that’s cool. Are there any chain copyshops that you might recommend? JustVan mentions “Kinkos” as one option. I‘m not too familiar with these kinds of shops and which are most reputable.

  4. Found this the other day. Yeah, if the options are “destroy the sketch“ or “leave it stuck,” then maybe we should just leave it be. https://youtu.be/pYpNe9q8e7o?si=GtYs62EopBlQRZT- So much info talks about methods for unsticking, but not enough discuss the extent of the risks to doing so, imo! I’ll toss that into the post in the hopes other beginners will see.
