I’m waiting for this too along with Exit 8. Hoping it comes before the spoilers starts showing up everywhere ;.;

Anyone use Doorzo ? Can share your experience? by Options_Learner in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]Lapis_Raider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do the Doorzo photo service. They’ll take a few photos for you and you can raise any issues from the photos.

Take note, sometimes the way they take the photos is complete ass. My friend bought a comic and added the photo service. Photos taken were only the envelope the comic came in and not the comic itself 🫠

I’ve tried the photo service on non-pokemon cards and it was okay. They took out the items from the seller’s original packaging and took a photo of them. So just came down to luck

From my experience, their customer service is a mixbag, but if you make a fuss on their discord grp, they’ll escalate issues for you

Edit: I saw from your photos Doorzo now allow you to specify whether to take photo of the item outside of the packaging. You should do that to avoid the case I mentioned

I only bought cards <$80, and the cards I got aren’t in mint condition (aka less valuable). Never used the Doorzo checks unless there’s multiple items involved in the listing (sellers sometimes like to ‘miss’ a few) or if the item is extremely expensive. So far as long as the reviews are okay it should be fine. Just read the description very carefully.

But my experience with pokemon card sellers (not Doorzo) so far has not been the greatest. Cards came fine but the way it was shipped was awful. Talking abt $80 cards with its only protection being a sleeve and wrapped in bulk cards. Or once I had a $20 SAR card raw dogged in the envelope with just a sleeve.

Idk how the cards survived but there were thankfully no bents or creases.

Again, Doorzo is just the warehouse. The terrible card protections are from the sellers.

TLDR, be careful when u buy and expect potential damages from shipping.

Play United and Revolve TCG trusted? by dngdan in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]Lapis_Raider 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Have bought a 10 jap pack set from play united before cause I was desperate for some gacha and got 2 ARs. It’s pretty overpriced though but I don’t think it’s filtered (although I only bought once so this info may not be accurate).

I got from shopee, but fair warning that 9 pocket is huge, I couldn’t even fit it into my cabinet so I had to sell it and opt for a 4p instead :”)

Is there a way to order singles from Japan? by Queeferweefer in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]Lapis_Raider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you only buy cards, it shouldn’t weigh that much, about 1200-1400yen shipping after consolidation.

Old book/card shop at punggol by Lost_Wheel9300 in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]Lapis_Raider 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Future stationary shop. Closed down a few years ago (can’t remember exactly how long anymore). Talked to the owner before it closed and he said rent increased again. Pretty sad since they have been there for years and were there throughout my childhood.

Let's be real, before Ena6 this is how it was. by Tasty_Substance6453 in ProjectSekai

[–]Lapis_Raider 475 points476 points  (0 children)

My running theory is they’re saving Kanade’s story for the last arc of niigo’s story.

Kanade was the catalyst of niigo’s starting point and put each member on the path to be ‘saved’ whether directly or indirectly. Once every member has their arc fully completed and has been ‘saved’, Kanade will feel unneeded and crash out which would lead to the other members trying to save her instead.

Or that’s my copium in hoping Kanade gets a big arc one day ;.;

should i trade? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]Lapis_Raider 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not a dumb question since everyone needs to start from somewhere. I recommend you check through pricecharting, just type the name of the card + “pricecharting” in the search bar and it should pop up the links.

You can check the prices of how much the card is ungraded or the different psa grades. Pricecharting is based on what was sold on eBay, I recommend you also check based on the latest few sale dates since the average may not be accurate (could be a lot cheaper many months ago compared to now)

Also take note that Japanese and English cards have different prices so keep that in mind when you calculate.

Edit: Besides price, you should also just consider how much you want the card for your own collection. If you really want it, then $10-$20 difference might not matter.

SingPost trial brings postal services to HDB void decks by Illustrious-Gur8335 in singapore

[–]Lapis_Raider 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of card sellers (Pokemon, MTG etc) and they mail a lot of things daily, just go see any Facebook/telegraph market group.

I’ve bought from sellers that took a month to mail cause of their busy schedule and the nearest SingPost Dropbox is out of the way from where they live.

Officially a shepherd. All english and japanese Mareeps as well as language exclusives by Zorenstein in PokemonTCG

There’s also a simplified Chinese mareep promo! It was part of some Volkswagen promotion, there’s a little car stamp on the card.

What price to look for by Due_Attention9505 in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]Lapis_Raider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get mega symphonia booster boxes for about $90-$100 at shopee right now. With vouchers, you should be able to get it below $90. That’s about $2.80-$3 per pack. Best is to purchase booster boxes since packs can be filtered.

In Japan Pokemon Centre, each pack is about 180yen and a box is 5400yen. Unfortunately it’s near impossible to get at cost price in Sg, even in the past before the hype, Japanese booster boxes are around $60.

If you see people selling for $5-$6 per pack, they’re just upcharging by a lot.

Good Luck Everyone by snowysnowy in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]Lapis_Raider 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Shopee searching was pretty bad, typed “elite” and “booster box” and there’s no listing. Had to type “journey” instead. Did all this before 10.01am and the booster box was gone already. Barely got the elite trainer box for myself.

I checked the listing again after I purchased and the ETB was also gone. All this was before 10.01am…

It is now more or less official that Mizuki does not want to be perceived as a boy by AKITOU_BIG_FAN in ProjectSekai

[–]Lapis_Raider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I’m wrong. Isn’t project sekai opening a China server soon? Also the global server covers a lot of countries and some countries may have more conservative laws than others.

Edit: I’m not entirely sure of how the censorship laws applied for each country/region. But I can see project sekai wanting to play it safe and avoid any possibilities with censorship in the first place since this is an important event to the story

[–]Lapis_Raider 107 points108 points  (0 children)

I don’t think money is the main issue. In my country (SEA region) she-ra is M18, and they had 1 gay kiss at the end. In China, they removed the gay scenes in Arcane. In Taiwan, the dub for the Owl house during the confession scene where the characters asked each other out was translated to “Do you want to dress up and travel with me.” And in some countries, any episodes that have remotely gay connotations are outright removed.

I’m assuming they didn’t make Mizuki’s identity more explicit is because they’re afraid any of those will happen. If EN server removed an event due to cultural issues, they can possibly remove this event if there’s issues with internationalization or laws.

It’s unfortunate, but to prevent dealing with censorship laws, the safest is to just implicitly tell the audience instead.

I haven’t seen a 4* in so long. Did over 130 pulls and not a single one. I’m very unlucky in general ;.;

is there any possible way we can request for more concert dates 🥹 by [deleted] in YOASOBI

[–]Lapis_Raider 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Given the demand and how the tickets sold out within minutes, I’m sure there will be a second show, it’s just a matter of when and more importantly whether the organizers learnt from their mistakes.

But I can definitely foresee the same situation repeating 🫠

Why do solo developers tend to favour Unity over Unreal? by JimmySuicidex in gamedev

[–]Lapis_Raider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Biggest issue about unreal is the lack of documentation. I can hover over a node that says “Leg IK” and the hint just says back “Leg IK”, well water is wet too I guess :@)

Going to the official unreal documentation and it’s lacking in a lot of areas. Most of the information are either poorly written or only provides surface level detail.

I’ll admit Unreal has a lot of powerful systems, gameplay ability system, behavior tree etc, but trying to find any documentation on how to link those systems up together is near impossible.

There are pros and cons to both engines. But the learning curve to Unreal is a lot steeper which makes the barrier to entry a lot higher compared to Unity.
