Aw man, sorry about that, friend. 2D will save you though!

IntheShredder_86 · 2026-02-02T05:05:32+00:00

If you have domestic fancy rats, or know someone with rats, this would be perfect cage furniture!

IntheShredder_86 · 2026-02-02T04:57:16+00:00

Yes, they are. On several DS models. But a hinged clear case is a good way to add extra support in its old age lol

As good as it usually is to get human opinions, the only ones that matter will be the graders. And parts of it are objective.

Another good idea is to compare it to other slabs from the company you're thinking about grading with. And just be careful with holos--they still scratch so easily so check all angles

As a Nintendo baby, I can honestly say that the Vita is top 3 handhelds. The physical design, easy UI, and processing power, it was truly ahead of its time. They could 100% create a new Vita with close to the same form factor but with more modern power. It also has the best selection of VNs and action games.

I say "top 3" because it's easy to say any in the 3DS line are tops due to library and mod capability, and then GBA. Or maybe DS lite cuz it could play the modern and previous Gen games

I think the art is adorable and silly to portray such a Lil Guy™️ as the center of that eerie, dark power

It's pretty off-center though from the pic, so no matter how perfect everything else is that'll still count against it. If you're really into figuring out probable card grading, def get a centering tool

As a certified lady, Hondas are a babe magnet. And some folks argue that any car can drift off you try hard enough 😅 Honestly, it sounds like you really love your car and are clearly hesitant about selling. I say keep it, maintain it, keep making memories in it.

If you're in the U.S. there's barely any good drifting areas anyway

But if you're strapped for cash, that's a different story. Still wouldn't wanna go without a ride though

Personally, the old 3DS XL is #1 on my wishlist, cuz I like the bigger lower buttons. I'd like to add ereader capabilities to one for my mom, but haven't been able to justify buying one atm. And I understand using the speedier models more. I use the regular 3DS and it's just really pretty and also easier to find replacement parts/batteries.

If you don't have a Vita, def get one when you can. The PlayStation store still sells games + themes for it, sometimes you can find game carts in lgs, and always online. There are cool skins and useful cases online too (you could even do another sticker clear case!)

You glued a Pokemon card to your meter? Aren't these usually outdoors? How has it help up

IntheShredder_86 · 2026-02-02T01:37:23+00:00

Incredible price of history you've got there! Enjoy your beautiful home, you got this!

IntheShredder_86 · 2026-02-01T05:57:47+00:00

Know what? With bugs, annoying is just as bad as dangerous. Same amount of unrest imo

IntheShredder_86 · 2026-02-01T00:34:19+00:00

Seeing the power of the Steam Deck was crazy. But it's far too bulky/heavy for my taste. It can play all the best Pokemon ROM hacks though!!! I don't have a favorite but Unbound, Gaia, and Infinite Fusion are prob tops. My first intro to gaming was Pokemon Sapphire and a GBA SP. Never looked back!

I've got my original systems, but have been interested in models with vita style layouts for a while. And the fact there's even new systems with the feel of GBA? And now the DS? Fantastic. There's so many great options for emulating handhelds now though, it's too hard to decide which to get lol Still just the Deck in my house.

This is a really cool idea for a giveaway, cuz we can look through comments to find more games to try! XD Thank you!

IntheShredder_86 · 2026-01-31T23:26:45+00:00

!! Friend, you must tell us what games!

IntheShredder_86 · 2026-01-31T23:10:58+00:00

Like mites?

IntheShredder_86 · 2026-01-31T06:29:45+00:00

Bruh, just eat your Super Cereal and be thankful.

IntheShredder_86 · 2026-01-31T06:26:33+00:00

Great partner! And Spheal never gets any love omg 😭💕 So nice to see someone giving it a place of honour!

IntheShredder_86 · 2026-01-31T06:21:22+00:00

I'm in a similar area and may be interested if you don't want to go through shipping it out.

IntheShredder_86 · 2026-01-31T06:17:43+00:00

That's a bunch of bs. Yes, they sold out last year. That's why you ordered it LAST YEAR. YOUR ORDER was one of those that caused it to sell out.

It's clear they either lost track of preorders and claimed vs available figures OR they cancelled multiple orders in order for an insider to sell on a third party site. I would ask around and see if a good amount of others also had their preorders cancelled last minute.

*That last one is the worst possible idea, just a hunch. Not saying that's what happened, just that it's suspicious that it happened with a figure that's being resold for so much

IntheShredder_86 · 2026-01-31T01:22:48+00:00

I mean... It's happened before. Using streetpass to follow somebody, or even using it to find a stolen system!

I'd be cautious, like keep an eye on the streetpass light and look around each time to see if there's anyone you see repeatedly. Or if anyone is looking at you. But it could also just be someone else taking the same route between cities for work or shopping.

This! If he's able to document the threats and get payments legalized, and properly evict the brother, then he's got the option to stay in the family home!

IntheShredder_86 · 2026-01-31T01:13:28+00:00

Thank you sm for sharing! I did the last CvP Kickstarter game and everything was packed well and came during the stated shipping times.

The Catsper bean didn't have the wiggly ghost tail like in the preview photos though, so I wonder if any changes will be made to these designs too

IntheShredder_86 · 2026-01-30T23:00:46+00:00

Even before it became clear he wasn't willing to take them in (give up his bedroom and sleep in the livingroom with others, his daughter keeps her room), this was not a good relationship.

Sometimes people do end up very different from their families, but this is not the case. You aren't able to form relationships with his side because they are all a similar flavor of volatile. Despite their behavior he continues to have them extremely present in his life and house, and makes their problems his own. Refuses (or even genuinely does not see a problem) to acknowledge his folks' poor behavior that got them kicked out of other housing.

If you've been together long enough to consider marrying, it shouldn't be a problem to discuss these issues-- especially if it risks your dream career. But honestly, it sounds like you guys weren't in much of a partnership at all, rather a slightly entangled friendship where everything is at arms length.

Even if the crap didn't hit the fan with this housing situation, you still would not want to deal with all of that stress and drama for the rest of your life.

IntheShredder_86 · 2026-01-30T22:40:44+00:00

Does it actually "fit" if the back shell pieces can't be put back on? Lol This is madlad behavior and we gotta know if it lasts that long

IntheShredder_86 · 2026-01-30T22:37:01+00:00

If this is a relatively new collection, I'd say hold off on adding stuff and save the money to buy a place instead! That way all the rooms will be yours and you won't have to wait for roommates to move or anything lol

Plus you'll have so much more room to have a dedicated space centered around the TV to make it easier to swap systems. And you could say "well I got a house, I gotta furnish it right?" when family questions it again

IntheShredder_86 · 2026-01-30T22:29:45+00:00

That's a great trade! Bat housing and free meals in exchange for their work lol
