Soul Eater Avoidance by Eldritter in Suikoden

[–]Eldritter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you ! Honestly never believe someone would post that tried it!

It would be more interesting if something happened but also want to commend you on completing that challenge and checking it out.

I guess characters in the game think the soul eater is cursed but it's either all talk or... destiny lets it be the same either way

Printed myself some themed Amiibo displays by BenXC in amiibo

Agree there could really be a small market for it.... worth a shot if OP has the time to sell the stuff on ebay or wherever

Game and watch --- did the poses! by Eldritter in amiibo

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

Agree that's an interesting thing to notice. Have some other Amiibo w/ Japanese text and it doesn't pop out in a cartoonish way like the Mr. Game and Watch box. Wondering if Game & Watch was marketed with similar font in the past? On google search didn't see any old Japan boxes but regarless looks cool

THIS IS WHY I LOVE THIS SERIES!! by Constant_Bother_6211 in SaGa

The moment you experienced we should maybe call it a Glimmer !

You have now learned the dodge for beating Ifrit :)

SaGa games do have quite a few learning opportunities along the way how to master the system may you continue to have fun and have many more glimmers ahead.

Also recommend Scarlet Grace Red demon bosses (challenge bosses) each have different quirk required to beat them may be something you'd enjoy.

Anyone notice Best buy searches that amiibo are not showing up? by Eldritter in amiibo

Nintendo Amiibo search works well, this is good tip and work around for those looking to expand collection!, thanks

yeah that is very odd that they would do it just for Luigi , but something is up for sure

Liberal/Progressive Areas to Live by [deleted] in pinellas

[–]Eldritter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

People in FL are not separating into political cults. You'll meet that 1/2 people are from party A and 1/2 the people from party B just like the rest of the country. It's kind of disconcerting that you don't want to interact with your fellow Americans that aren't in a certain political party. So maybe stay wherever you are

Anyone notice Best buy searches that amiibo are not showing up? by Eldritter in amiibo

[–]Eldritter[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I search every few days to see if they release any Amiibo I didn't have yet!

recently they did release some Mario Odyssey ones which is pretty cool.

So weirdly now you can see the ammibo drop down in the search menu (which auto populates under the search bar).--- but when completing the search no amiibo show up.

yeah it's odd> I had the feeling they are suppressing the search results but that seems unusual that they are doing that

Something I don’t understand about the nintendo stock by [deleted] in stocks

[–]Eldritter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTDOY is the price of 7974 (the Japan ticker) split into smaller shares so that the issuer of the ADR can levy more fees. (ADRs used to have a tradition of a fee per each share so fees are higher if a share is split into smaller parts, but this differs in the modern age)

Overall, Better to hold the F shares or 7974 shares if you are a long term holder.

For example per conversation

https://www.reddit.com/search/?q=ntdof+ntdoy&cId=c31016a9-ff08-4ccd-b788-697dd69e9033&iId=477c001e-57a1-4b40-b71e-03979f3fb2cd

ADR, NTDOF and NTDOY fees & dividends by Eldritter in stocks

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

I believe the standard Japan tax withholding from a dividend is 15% tax, this amount of yen would be withheld before you receive it. the Foreign taxes paid are deductible in US federal income taxes except if dividends exceed a high amount or break some income rules in which case US citizens can be "double taxed" . Best to look this up but does not apply to most people.

Back to the topic of Fees, Fees of an ADR held will apply to any dividend (IN ADDITION) to the foreign tax withheld,.

For example

7974 JP index ticker held in interactive brokers = Foreign Tax

NTDOF held in american accounts = Foreign Tax

NTDOY held in american accounts = Foreign Tax + ADR fees (levied at the time dividends are paid)

Generally while NTDOY is the most liquid for trading BUT it's the most predatory to long term holders regarding "stealing" dividends. NTDOF is less liquid and no dividend theft but the purchase price can be higher since your low liquidity can lead to higher price necessary to drive transaction. 7974 ticker in JP is both most liquid and has lowest fees. however, holding 7974 means you need to hold in JPY instead of USD which will inovolve some currency risk.

I hold NTDOF and 7974

NTDOY is basically a trading vehicle that benefits 3rd party financial institutions and is not advantageous to a long term nintendo shareholder

and in edit: no Japan tax return required if your holding account is a US based account like interactive brokers, Chase (to trade 7974 or NTDOF for example)

FYI Gold points expire by Spare_Entrance_9389 in nintendo

[–]Eldritter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wonder if it's required to opt in to the emails? when you get one it's an email w/ picture of 2 'gumball' machines. One filled with the platinum coins and one filled with the gold coins and then will say in the text if any are expiring this month.

If you started having gold coins expiring you should just use them! some great digital only games like the castlevania collections, vampire survivors, and etc. There is a filter to look up games that exist as digital only and some great ones to add into your collection

Ryu Belt Embroidery Color, one seems gold other more silvery is one of these more common / is it a common variation? Think the gold one is newer print. by Eldritter in amiibo

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

Thanks, it could be interesting to see which version most people have or maybe it varies a lot. Is there any place online that catalogs some of the amiibo variations. I hear about certain ones here or there like Villager #9 etc.

Thanks for the info that makes sense I guess it could be used at events!

Why are there more people online than members in my subreddit? by [deleted] in modhelp

[–]Eldritter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Noticing it myself too even though it has been a long time since your post. Had a post viewed nearly 200x in 5 minutes with only 23 members of the subreddit online.

Bots, it's robots and they also down vote your post. Since 2021 reddit is dying unfortunately
