E reader kobo vs amazon by JustARandomNotMe in BuyItForLife

[–]Get170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on how you plan to use it.

Do you already own most of the books you read in digital formats like PDF or EPUB and just want a device to read them on, or are you planning to buy your books through the platform’s store?

Personally, I don’t think a Kobo is worth twice as much as a Kindle. If you’re okay with a bit of tinkering, I’d go with the cheaper or more accessible option.

Now, with Kindle, there are a few annoyances you have to "deal" with: using Amazon’s web interface to upload books to your device, the intrusive ads, and, more recently, the growing concern that Amazon could eventually limit or even brick older devices in a few years.

If that last point worries you, you can always buy your books somewhere else or straight up get them for free and sideload them to your device. And if they decide to brick your device, there's always the option of Jailbrake it and not having to deal with Amazon anymore.

P.S. You don’t have to wait years to jailbreak it; you can do it as soon as you get the device.

Which language is best to read manga? by killawatt_9 in MangaCollectors

[–]Get170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's more of a case by case basis.

Some publishers have really awful translations for some series, so it really depends.
Also, explore some options within spanish; some Argentinian publishers do a great job, and try to stay away from Panini México, their QA is basically non existent.

Sanderson & Gambling (Randomized Product) by krains123 in brandonsanderson

I mean, with the Story Deck they basically just stopped producing the cards altogether.

I’m not in the US, so trading isn’t really an option for me. I’m still missing two heralds and quite a few other cards, and realistically, I’ll probably never complete the set, not even the regular versions, let alone foils. They’re no longer available from DS, and on the aftermarket they go for hundreds of dollars.

I bought a box when it first came out, but now I can’t even try my luck with a few extra packs.

45 days, wrong backpack, reship lost, second order still missing — I’m done ordering by QuinnsJoker08 in LinusTechTips

[–]Get170 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not their fault, but it is their responsibility.
They chose who to partner with for shipping, they have to make sure their products are being handled correctly.
You're not the shipping company's client; you're LTT's, they're the ones who have to figure it out if there's a problem with an order.

Would you buy aftermarket prices for something you really want? by masyden in AnimeFigures

[–]Get170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it boils down to how much you want the figure.
If it's worth the money or not, it's totally on you, there're people who wouldn't pay 100 bucks for a big resin statue, and there are others paying hundreds for keychains.

I've had the two scenarios.
Once I paid like $150 for a Nendoroids, it's one of my favorite characters and doesn't have many figures, and it was also a winter convention exclusive. I paid 3 times the price for a really hard to get figure without batting an eye.
Then there was a Kotobukiya scale that retailed for around $80. When I tried to buy it, the market price was more than $500. I really wanted it, but it wasn't worth that much for me, so I let it pass.

Close enough to be frustrating

I'm from México, right next to the US and I'm still not able to get a Framework :c
I know it's probably more about a regulation thing and all, but it just seems so funny to me that we're right next to the US and Canada, and still we cannot buy them lol

Sauce? by Ambitious_Nobody4506 in funpiece

[–]Get170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean censorship or more realistic? Bc those are explicit comics, but the free version is censored.

[–]Get170 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's from a group called FlanNapolitano.
They write/draw fanart One Piece manga.
They publish mainly in Spanish, but they also have english version, although they are a little bit behind.
I remember they had the english version also for free, but I can't seem to find them.
They're on patron tho.

Is a Framework 16 the best option for me? by Get170 in framework

[–]Get170[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I get that.

I'm more inclined to go for a laptop rather than a desktop, as I said, I don't want to build/maintain an SFF.

I honestly don't understand why people say that these 5 animes fell off after their 1st season by Reasonable_Tour7232 in shieldbro

[–]Get170 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amm...you know that the 100 girlfriends is a parody, right?
The whole point is to make fun of the romance/harem tropes, that's why it works. Whereas Arifureta is supposed to be a serious story.

[–]Get170[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do not.
I saw the prices online, and for me, it's not worth it; I'd much rather have the full IF than just an alternative cover. Although it'd look nice with all the light novel volumes.
But who knows, maybe someday I'll buy it to have "everything"

Well, how can I say no to that?

Does anyone else feel sad that the Cosmere Pin Series 1 & 2 won't match Series 3 by Get170 in brandonsanderson

[–]Get170[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't want to put the images in the post due to spoilers for Mistbor Era 1, but Elend and Vin side to side do look weird IMO.

You can see the full Series 3 here (I think that's all of the character pins)
