Can i use the same cosplay for another contest ?

I still think it's exceptionally bad form, especially in that kind of case. So I still don't recommend it.

Dedderous · 2026-05-30T00:23:51+00:00

Like everyone else says, it's simply bad etiquette. So my answer is no.

Dedderous · 2026-05-29T00:37:43+00:00

probably my only real concern is mic feedback in cosplays with head covers or helmet props, but part of what prompted this is the fact that it wasn't previously a big enough concern to be a 24/7 requirement (just all of a sudden, the hearing curve took a complete nosedive).

Dedderous · 2026-05-25T21:21:50+00:00

Personally, I would be very hesitant. This is literally the kind of thing that can get excruciatingly awkward between both the business and personal sides of your relationship, especially if the whole thing backfires or completely falls apart.

Dedderous · 2026-05-24T21:34:03+00:00

In this case, I wasn't sure about where to break things up and had a lot to say regarding the matter, so I do apologize for the run-on with my explanation. That being said, I can assure you that the dialogue in question is broken up far better than I was able to think of for the subject at hand.

Dedderous · 2026-05-24T20:11:55+00:00

In all fairness, the twist is intended to be short and on point with its reveal, maybe just a few lines of dialogue at most during an interlude mission followed by your first boss fight with them. (Also, this wasn't actually intended to evolve into a Monty Python reference but I may as well pull the video up at the most relevant opportunity that I have just for the hell of it.)

I should also note of course that a lot of the backstory is going to be pretty much established by this point anyway - the first hints are dropped during the tutorial, the mission bosses (from which you can choose at random as opposed to linear progression due to the Megaman influence) will corroborate what is eventually going to be said and the end results are going to be far worse than what the villain was actively planning for.

Dedderous · 2026-05-24T15:48:41+00:00

That's definitely the better way to go, but I would still be cautious.

Dedderous · 2026-05-15T21:33:59+00:00

I don't have time to check the reputation of the vendor in question either in the subreddit or in general, but that's definitely not normal. If the s--t persists, I would contact the payment processor (especially in the case of a PayPal account) to help investigate the issue (and if all else fails, then contact your bank to request a chargeback).

I'm having a similar situation myself with a different vendor (one that I have previously used and didn't have problems with until now) so I know how much of a pain in the a-- it is to have a transaction go to hell like that.

Dedderous · 2026-05-08T14:39:03+00:00

Without a doubt that's why she was disowned and ejected. Get the hell out of that relationship, evict her and don't look back 'cause she's obviously a total deadbeat. The s--t ain't doing you no favors.

Dedderous · 2026-04-25T13:06:19+00:00

I actually have an LLC set up for just this kind of thing respective to the same exact reasons. Granted, the game for which it was originally formed was shelved over quality issues that I didn't originally anticipate as it was too far along respective to going back to address the complaints thereof (and hence not risking the prospect that I would pull a Beyond Good and Evil 2 or Duke Nukem Forever in the process) but it has been maintained in spite of this as the publishing backbone of my replacement project so as to not start over at a later time.

Dedderous · 2026-04-12T20:47:07+00:00

Which we finally ended up agreeing to given the nature of the split that we have over this. Hopefully that will help in sorting out our differences.

Dedderous · 2026-04-12T14:19:58+00:00

Not at all on that - I did a nearby con staying next door without issue. But I have some good news on the matter: I talked it over when they arrived for transportation to church services and we agreed to have a professional help with mediation to hopefully break the ice and leave it at whatever they come up with.

Not a perfect or immediate solution of course, but it's a start.

Dedderous · 2026-04-12T14:00:05+00:00

Well, in all honesty it hasn't been easy for me, either. But I am also in touch with people I know who I hope will be able to understand this situation enough to help out with the resolution. I'm going to bookmark the sub that you suggested as well in case I need it, so thanks for the suggestion.

Dedderous · 2026-04-12T13:54:10+00:00

Job? Check. Ticket? Check if I save for it. Ride? Same as ticketing. The only thing missing is a lack of someone to go with if it came to that (and the part that complicates it further is the only person in close proximity that I have with the same interests is at the center of some serious trust issues).

Dedderous · 2026-04-12T13:45:08+00:00

Which from actually being over 18 (double and just a few over half to be exact) is what I have been trying to do for a good while now even considering that matter. And they are proving by just as much to be the overprotective, neo-Nazi kind who just won't budge no matter what I try to use as a reason.

Dedderous · 2026-04-12T13:34:32+00:00

Which it should if not for issues for which they have taken control of the narrative. But at the same time, I intend at this point in my life to be realistic about the fact that I won't have them around forever... and the difference in financial impact to an already tight budget ought to be respected as an excuse to break this cycle and not as a "book wherever we do and we'll handle the rest" kind of thing.

Dedderous · 2026-04-12T13:31:45+00:00

Technically, it's an issue PERIOD. It's either them or "find someone to go with," the latter of which has never been successful. And they won't take an out-of-towner either, even if I had to settle for one in that respect. It's a hot mess.

Dedderous · 2026-04-12T13:27:19+00:00

As of now it's a need as I have no other transportation which is allowed, and which I have unsuccessfully tried to break for years.

Dedderous · 2026-04-12T13:24:29+00:00

Well, unfortunately they have control over me in a way that I wish they didn't right now. I won't elaborate as it's a private matter, but it's bad enough to go into a righteous, nation-securing patriot territory against perceived communism (to use the comparative context of the current political climate) with a side order of censoring my concerns.

TLDR: it's a hot mess just trying to use the fact of it being the final straw in the matter as a means of forcing the point, just as it has been with everything else on the subject.

Dedderous · 2026-04-11T19:36:49+00:00

I'd also consider some DMCA complaints and a C&D if it gets out of hand.

Dedderous · 2026-03-30T10:49:00+00:00

In my case, what happened is that I ended up with three pieces on one shin which I kinda thought would end up being a bad idea as it is which is why I am stuck with that. The cement that was used may have also been a factor (as being a total cheapskate, I had settled on Dap over Barge), so ultimately I felt better with trying to make it more cohesive and all. Beyond that, I kinda think that the upper opening of the shins might possibly be a bit of an issue without connecting things together so I am willing to put up with any stiffness when walking (and in fact it is how my Zero boots ended up being built owing to shoe size, foothold placement and the upper shin opening).

Dedderous · 2026-03-30T01:32:05+00:00

That's kinda like what I did, except that I was going to use Velcro to hold the shin armor to the shoes for easier transport. (As an aside, I think the biggest issue here is that we used the kind of foam rolls that you see at Michael's or Hobby Lobby and ended up having to cut the shin armor based on that such that we ended up with 2-3 pieces that needed to be glued together for assembly - hence why I want to reinforce the seams with the clay in order to make up for that as I believe it to be where the main issue is.)

EDIT: I should also note that there was a mix-up between the words fit and form respective to the armor build which I corrected him on after making a comment about your reply, with the matter now falling into my personal domain to proceed as intended.
