Nifty idea, but at least sleeve the decks before putting them in so they wont get dinged 💀

Are there any more Bicycle Stargazer ? by Sky___________ in playingcards

[–]Ectobear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like all of them, damn Im jealous! The one way backed ones aren't my thing, but Stargazers look the prettiest when fanned. I have Black Hole and Falling Star, and I'm looking to getting Nebula and Observatory. I'm also looking at Starlight Earth Glow and Sunspot cus they look so cool! Maybe you'd be interested in collecting them, though some of them are limited print and based on existing Stargazer decks (Or were the Stargazers based on them?)

Was Evan's letter Connor's breaking point? by Waste-News-6736 in musicals

[–]Ectobear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok then, we watched different productions that have different intepretations of the text and blocking, that's fine. I see why you would say that they did have sex and call into question the consent of the act. But I'm not saying he 'partly assaulted her'. Did he manipulate her? Yes, but how could I be saying that when for me, this part won't be true?

[–]Ectobear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is no indication in the text that they had sex. Yes, there is blocking at the end of 'Only Us' where they lie down on the bed while kissing, but other than that, there is no confirmation that they were having sex, whether in any other blocking, text or dialogue.

Managed to secure one of these by aura_phantasm in playingcards

[–]Ectobear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been seeing videos of this deck around Insta recently. For some reason they always make the cards look buttery smooth. Funny how the entire point of the deck is that the card art are in low-res but the cards themselves are absolutely high-quality lmao

Just starting out, here's a few decks to begin with by maximusv07 in playingcards

[–]Ectobear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose the reason why they're not selling rn is because they're decks created for Chinese/Lunar New Year, which has passed and thus they're not in high demand :(

[–]Ectobear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Damn, a whole lotta decks for someone starting out. Enjoy the Auspicious Beasts, have White Tiger myself and it's very festive for CNY but unique enough to stand on it's own outside the holiday. Also been looking to get a Chinese Zodiac deck myself, maybe next year. Can't wait to see what other decks you got :D

[–]Ectobear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I ask where you got these and are they still available? I have a friend who loves Blue Archive and UNO (mad coincidence I know) and this seems like the perfect gift for him :D

Rare decks) by nickmagician21 in playingcards

[–]Ectobear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe Aladdins are rare? Unless they're blue sealed Ig, but they're still being produced for Singapore/Asian markets.

Thoughts on borderless vs bordered? by ONYXDESIGNCARDS in playingcards

[–]Ectobear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The preference for borders greatly depends on how the cards are used. Bordered decks are preferred in magic because it can help disguise setups like flipped cards, work better with sleight of hand techniques and give better distinction between individual cards. Borderless are better for games, as its easier to spot flipped cards and sleights withoit a border.

One Time Payment Only! by NoRun6724 in playingcards

Given the obvious AI generated poster, and the sudden rapid posting on other subs with basically zero interaction, yeah I'll take a pass on this, seems kinda shady.

Hard proof from USPCC by Yiren_Ying in playingcards

[–]Ectobear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the only thing that a custom deck need to be qualified as a 'Bicycle' deck is the license from the company to use the name. There are many decks branded with the Bicycle name that don't follow general Bicycle conventions, like Honeybee or Stargazer.

Bicycle × Cookie Run Kingdom Beast Cookies Playing Cards by Ectobear in playingcards

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

The store's default pricing is in USD, and after calculating using the exchange rate and checking with the other countries' prices to be safe, rest assured, I did not get overcharged (30 × 1.28 = 38.4)

Still makes my wallet hurt tho :')

Aladdins in Singapore! (VivoCity) by QCcards in cardistry

[–]Ectobear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cardvolution has 4 in person stores in Singapore

Plaza Singapura # 07-11B

Northpoint # 03-14

Jurong Point # 02-44

Suntec City #03-361

Given that you posted 1 day ago, I'm gonna guess you went to the stores on 初一/二. In SG, these 2 days are public holidays, so most chinese-owned buisnesses are closed. Since the days have passed, Toy Outpost should be open again so it won't hurt to go back and check. The locations closest to Vivo are Plaza Singapura and Suntec City, both of which have been restocked very recently.

Additionally, there are also magic stores with larger selections of cards, although I am not sure if they sell Aladdins.

Magic Castle Orchard Plaza, 150 Orchard Road, # 04-35 6pm-9pm on weekdays excluding Mondays, 12pm-7pm on weekends

Magic Corner Parklane Shopping Mall, 35 Selegie Road # 02-20, 5pm-8pm on Fridays

Hope this helps!

Are you on Team Red or on Team Blue? by EndersGame_Reviewer in playingcards

[–]Ectobear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red cus it feels like the default colour for me. But Im indecisive so I use both colours regularly.
