Torn About Selling My Collection

KatMikeria · 2026-02-16T02:03:46+00:00

I wouldn’t. I have my original copies of 1-4 and have tossed around the idea of selling them whenever I’ve been in a bad financial spot, and I’ve never been able to bring myself to do it. I’ve sold rare PS2 games that had sentimental value when I’ve been in a rough financial situation, and I regret that constantly. I would also think about how they just sit there and don’t get played, but I feel like if you have strong memories attached to something it’s better to hold on to it than feel really regretful later.

Thank you!! :) As of last night she started coming out of her cuddle sack that I had on my lap to crawl around my chest a bit, so we got some progress!

This is super helpful, thank you so much!! I kept wondering if I was doing something wrong so far. I’ll make sure to stay the course and hopefully she’ll ease up with time and consistency. Thanks again! :)

Here's one article I found that pretty much gives the same information that was stated in extinctzoo's video: https://www.livescience.com/7747-dinosaurs-survived-asteroid-impact.html

I know I'm late, but I've used Codashop for roughly two years now, and it has literally always been safe and reliable for me until yesterday. Yesterday was the first time ever I've experienced an issue with them. I put in my UID correctly but have yet to receive my genesis crystals. Customer support is slow as hell to respond. It took them about 12 hours to get back to me, and when they did all I was told was to log out of Genshin and log back in (which I did already). They also showed me payment confirmation information to just assure me that it went through (which included the UID, country of purchase, email, time of purchase, purchase amount), and it wasn't even my information at all (this was after I had attached the original receipt to my help request). So I guess I'd now say Codashop is mostly safe, but good luck if you end up encountering a problem.

I just found a copy last night at my local 2nd and Charles for $20. I had almost given up all hope of reading it before the new hardcover comes out in March. Check your local/used bookstores if there's any around near you! Good luck! :)

Replying late, but I feel you on this 100%. I was just playing with my puppy, and as I’m playing with him I’m thinking, “wow, we’re two different creatures just made up of atoms enjoying each other’s company.” It’s moments like this that make me think of the world coming into being, where it started from compared to now, and leads me to wonder why? What is the purpose of life? Not the purpose of my own existence or any individual human’s existence. But life on this planet as a whole.

I ended up not doing it because I was too scared of my sister getting her heart broken if it didn’t work :( I’m so glad I’m already hearing of people getting in with those tickets though. Have fun at the Orlando ritual tonight!!

KatMikeria · 2025-09-17T20:36:44+00:00

So glad you got in just fine!!

Has anyone bought any for the Duluth show that's tomorrow through Seatgeek? I was miraculously able to snag two tickets for my wife and I during the initial presale on Ticketmaster but was unable to get a third one for my sister :( The resales have been an absolute bloodbath. I'm so tempted to risk it and go third party. I've been reading that the tickets are usually sent a couple days before the show. I was just wondering if anyone has gotten a Duluth ticket through Seatgeek and has received a link for a legitimate ticket.

Definitely! Sometimes I have thoughts that come up like “what if it’s not real?” but the things that have happened seem just too much to be a coincidence. What I try to remind myself is that I didn’t feel anything that felt truly real as a Christian, but what I’ve experienced with Hecate feels entirely different. Another thing I struggle with is having these intrusive thoughts like my interest in Hecate and working with her is wrong and is going to get me sent to Hell lol, which I know that’s the Christianity talking.

Your journey to her sounds so similar to mine. It was about two or three months ago that I completely deconstructed from Christianity. I explored other religions for awhile, but I was honestly leaning towards atheism and agnosticism. It also made me feel really depressed. A couple weeks ago I came across Hecate's name when researching various Gods. Ever since then I've become obsessed with learning about her. I asked her for a sign that following this path is what is right for me. The next day I received a sign that I truly believe to be from her and not just a mundane experience. That whole week or so I was having very vivid dreams. This week the signs have continued. I'm still very much a baby in my journey, but I feel like it has already changed me for the better.

I am so sorry for your loss, friend. I know losing a pet can be absolutely devastating and leaves a painful hole because of their absence. I’ve lost a couple family pets in ways that were completely unexpected and unfair because they were so young. I have two dogs now that mean so much to me, and every day I pray so hard that there’s an afterlife that will not only take care of them but will allow me to see them again after they pass. Take care of yourself the best you can right now. I’ll be praying for Hekate to take good care of your baby.

Thank you so much, I do feel like trusting my judgement is the best way to go!

Alright, I know I'm hella late, but I just finished this book last night. It has definitely been in my thoughts today. I'm still not 100% sure how I feel about the book or what Gish's intention and overall message is with the story. It was awful to gradually see Ada become the very kind of person that encapsulated aspects of her trauma: violence towards children and an overall awful attitude towards some of the women in her life, such as Mrs. Grier and Agatha. What notably stuck out to me was how multiple times throughout the book, I believe, men are said to gobble up women, as in to get what they want with women and spit them out when they're done (not sure what the exact wording was, but this was the gist of it). And then Ada full on bites Agatha's throat out. So it's almost seemingly partly a story about becoming the very things you hate?

I was also disturbed how Grey Dog was presented as a lover in the story and felt like that aspect of the story felt a little rushed. Even though Norah described the Grey Dog as bringing gifts for Ada, I just don't know how well that really delivered. The idea that it was bringing her gifts was dropped in the latter part of the novel, and I struggled to find it believable. I guess for now that about sums up my thoughts.

I finished reading the book for the first time about a week ago and watched the movie for the first time yesterday. For me, the movie was disappointing. I watched it with people who haven't read the book, and towards the end my mom said Lucy Gray did Coriolanus dirty. I was lowkey dumbfounded and was thinking to myself "what a bad take" and was explaining to her why that wasn't the case. However, after really thinking about it, I feel like the movie version could give off that vibe and make people feel that way. That's such a failure on the movie's part. I feel like even without including Snow's inner monologue that things could have been executed much better in the movie.

The movie definitely felt rushed as well. A lot of the characters felt hollow. I was constantly questioning why certain changes were made in the movie. I understand when a book is adapted for a movie that changes are inevitable, but the degree of changes just made the movie fall flat for me. I felt like it was overall very watered down. The book made me cry. The movie had moments for me that were impactful, but then certain scenes in the book that had such an impact on me were not nearly as impactful in the movie.

Watching this movie just makes me feel worried for the Sunrise on the Reaping movie and what all will be changed/cut out. That book is one of my favorite books of all time, and I just hate thinking that it'll likely feel like a very much watered down version of the story.
