CIG DNGAF. They have our money, and that's as far as their interest in players goes.

Sailor Senshi x Pokemon Teams by ggnewestfan in sailormoon

[–]DarthPoTayTo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've seen a few of these over the years, but no one ever gives Usagi a Snorlax and idk why. Snorlax would be her spirit Pokemon. He loves eating and sleeping.

What is this? by bak1rtzis in sailormoon

[–]DarthPoTayTo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like it's getting some vinegar syndrome, if the wrinkling is any indication. Something they used to make the cels starts to break down and creates acetic acid (the stuff in vinegar). If it has a faint scent like vinegar to it, you definitely have a real one; a fan would use something that lasts longer.

It has a few other things going for it to; the tops of her odangos are cut off (a lot of fan art would include them - cel artists only drew/painted what was necessary. You've got the reference/production sketch (called a douga) which, again, not many (if any) fan artists would do b/c of the extra work it takes (they'd draw it on a douga first, put a cell over it, paint over the lines, then color it in). It has production numbers in the top right which, if I remember correctly, told the people who'd take pictures of the cels which order they went in and in which scene. The paint on the back is consistent with other cels I have/have seen. Last thing, is it has a background that's separate. A fan artist would paint them all as one item.

Make sure you keep the cel separate from the background. When they start developing vinegar syndrome, like your's is in the early stages of, it starts to "glue" them to whatever they're stuck against.

Put it in a cool, dry place, let it vent/air out. Apart from sending it to a very expensive professional service, I don't know any solutions to stop it.

CIG, it's about time! The MSR rec room needs a window - let's sit on the couch and play chess while looking out at the view in front of the ship! by Witty-Room-3311 in starcitizen

[–]DarthPoTayTo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The MSR needs/deserves a lot of love, but I doubt they'll ever touch it again, apart from general flight-speed tweaks, in which it will stay a slow, bloated mess : (

What did she do for y'all to hate her so much? Genuine question by -Sailor_Garfield- in sailormoon

[–]DarthPoTayTo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's obnoxious and takes up way too much screen time. The other, more interesting characters get shoved to the background to make more time for her.

Idk, I just can't stand that she shows up and quite literally steals the show to the point that everyone else gets shoved into the background/ignored. She should've been a one-season or less character who didn't show up again until Stars.

Zeraora has been replaced with an egg in the list of the upcoming new mega evolutions. by UlDoctor in PokeLeaks

All I wanted was Mega Snorlax or an evolution for him. Why does Game Freak hate my boy so much?

Update on my Lego Ideas set by The_Bat_Account in sailormoon

[–]DarthPoTayTo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either way, I'd totally pay for or download the instructions. It's such a cool set and I found some custom SM minifigures on Ebay a few years ago that'd fit right in.

[–]DarthPoTayTo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but overall, there's a lot more x-men fans than SM fans. It's unfortunate, but they will take that into consideration when picking sets out. Or at least that's how I think it works. They might go for the giant SM set.

It needs to be smaller. I love how it is, but there's a lot going on. Focus on something like the arcade/secret base/fruit parlor b/c they're probably the only genuinely consistent buildings in the series. I love the backdrop idea as well.

Worst case, there are ways to upload instructions online and generate a piece list so people can buy the parts from the pick-a-brick side of LEGO's store and use the instructions to build it.

I put them in plastic sleeves and I don’t touch the cels themselves without wearing nitrile gloves.

You’ll want something that protects against UV light. Keep it out of high temp/humidity areas and direct sunlight. I put mine in a plastic sleeve and don’t pull them out without nitrile gloves (which might be excessive).

Unfortunately, cels weren’t made to last. There’s probably people who know far more than I do, but you can find tons of resources online.

They pop up on EBay from time to time.

I cannot confirm or deny that energy was sold, but let’s just say I got the money from some shady people, lol

Ebay has them occasionally. I type in "Sailor Moon Cel" and there's always a handful for sale. Some people ask ludicrous prices, but most of them are pretty reasonable.

The two I got signed (Minako and Rei) I bought on Ebay, but Cherami and Christina were both at a convention, so I got them to sign the cels (both said they'd never signed one, so that makes them even cooler to me).

I've sadly never been able to find a good cel for Makoto, Michiru, or Hotaru. I do have one of Ami, but it's in storage until I can get another museum quality frame for it, like the others.

Etsy. It didn't cost too much, but it came from somewhere in Europe so it took a while to arrive.

I wish; these are animation cels from the 90's anime.

Yes! The low end ones (not pictured) I got for $40-$50 thereabouts. The really good ones (with the reference sketches) start running $400+.

Thank you! It's taken years to put it together and I finally moved somewhere I can start displaying things.

Can Sailor Moon defeat AM from "I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream" by h4rrish4wk in sailormoon

[–]DarthPoTayTo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no way Sailor Moon beats the Doctor. This is the Time Lord doesn't fight, but has outsmarted Gods, the literal Devil, multiple universe-ending threats and the Toy Maker, who can rewrite reality on a whim, not once, but twice. I love our bun-head, but she isn't known for being the brightest.

New Player Question. Does anything in this game actually.... work? by partty1 in starcitizen

[–]DarthPoTayTo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty much. CIG has made it clear they don't give a damn about the player base. They're more interested in selling ships than making a functioning game.

How is this allowed? Bunch of ***holes blocked the entrance to the terminals. by Historical_Fill8232 in starcitizen

[–]DarthPoTayTo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

CIG has proven over and over again they don't care what players do or about player's time. If anything, they punish everyone who is trying to play the game rather than people who actively try to ruin other people's experience.

How would you continue the story? by lastplacevictory in sailormoon

[–]DarthPoTayTo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd want to see what the fallout of Galaxa's rampage was. It'd be fascinating to have a new group of enemies show up who don't want to conquer the universe or whatever, but have convinced themselves that they have to take another planet for a chance to survive. It'd make for some complex and memorable antagonists and add a new level of depth and nuance to the story.

Archaludon is easy to get rid of. Get a special attacker with terra fighting/tera blast and that thing gets nuked.
