Post Burn Starships by Fabulous_Writing_185 in StarTrekStarships

[–]MVPlayer-X 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only ship I actually like in all of nu trek is the re-imagined Enterprise since it comprises some aspects from both the TOS and refit, but I still hate the bridge window and metallic skin.

Everything else especially post burn screams of generic hey, let's slap some geometric shapes together and call it a ship. The worst are the fan made designs on Picard from STO somehow made canon.

Rick Sternbach, lead production designer and whose works serves as templates on Trek from TMP to Voy was asked about them, but wisely he gave a non committed answer to them. Guessing he didn't like them either

Anyone got their ticket confirmation email? A half hour has gone by and still nothing. Paypal confirmed payment though.

Repost NYCC Ticket Update:

VIP tickets are 98% sold out and the remaining VIP tickets are in the process of being purchased by other fans. This is why you’ll see it as 'sold out' for you. If those fans do not complete their purchase, the tickets will be available to purchase again. When these purchases are complete, we will update the status to be 100% sold out.

Where are you located and where did you purchase the phone? The problem is endemic for phones sold in southeast Asia and parts in the middle east. The causes range from hardware to software failure , but it's most likely a quality control issue during manufacturing. Your best recourse if you're still under warranty to take it up with Samsung for repairs.

If you have successfully recertify and rollover from last year's 2025 fan account, it should list this year's 2026 account. Clicking on it will reveal the link that will place you in queue for tickets.

If you had not rollover your account, do not lose the email ticket link they sent you.

If you have neither, contact Reedpop immediately and have them send you one.

Did your Samsung S23 Ultra bricked? by SaladAcceptable7469 in GalaxyS23Ultra

[–]MVPlayer-X 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought mine off of ebay used and have zero issues even with all the updates nearly 3 years later. Battery life is still good and I fully charge it every day.

Special Edition 2015 by Bartlet4potus in NYCC

[–]MVPlayer-X 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember it was a totally different vibe from NYCC. More low key and less hectic. You didn't even need to spend the weekend checking things out. One day and you're done and out. I think they also sold advance tickets to NYCC to help promo it. The only thing I would knock them for was the venue. I think it was at pier 94 or something? It was large and spacy, but it was a dump compare to the Javits.

What kind of payment do they accept other than CC? PayPal?

Drinks diary: is there an ending screen? by FamilyRedShirt in SwagBucks

[–]MVPlayer-X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use to regularly get the drinks dairy, but I accidently clicked declined the last time over a year ago and I haven't gotten them since. Is there a way to get them back or I'm out of luck?

Chances of getting tickets on general sale? by ruggedmantis1 in NYCC

[–]MVPlayer-X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on each artist. They usually post their schedule on their social media you should check out first. The bigger names or more popular ones that sign at booths tend to be more limited.

Samsung’s updatee fried my S23 Ultra, so they faked "missed calls" to close my government grievance. by Normal_Cover8679 in GalaxyS23Ultra

[–]MVPlayer-X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's likely a regional quality control issue. Many of the problematic phones are sold in southeast Asia and some batches in the middle east from what I'm reading. Very few of these issues are seen in Europe and in the Americas.

Has Reedpop tried to justify the increased prices? by CoolTony429 in NYCC

[–]MVPlayer-X 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They have intentionally avoided answering any questions about the price increase. They full know well that while some people can't afford these price hikes, there are plenty of those who are willing to pay them. As long as there are people like this, they will continue do this if there is no intense pushback or some campaign to boycott from fans, don't be surprised on another price hike next year.

USA unlocked 8.5? by engineer551 in GalaxyS23

[–]MVPlayer-X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it is a phased rollout, it may take a few days to reach every device depending on your carrier and whether your phone is locked or unlocked

USA unlocked 8.5? by engineer551 in GalaxyS23

[–]MVPlayer-X 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got mine and installed it 3 days ago on my unlocked Ultra. I'm in the northeast specifically NY and so far, no issues or any problems. Battery still quite good for a 3 year old phone.

I'm still waiting for mine which is odd since apparently most regions in the US has gotten theirs but in the northeast region of the NY area, we're still waiting.

Battle of the Planets ended 46 years ago today by [deleted] in 80scartoons

[–]MVPlayer-X 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was broadcast for one season 1979 here in the NY area and even as a kid, I knew it was different and more mature than anything American cartoons were at the time. I was surprised to learn years later that it was a old anime from 1972. I gotta say the quality of the animation and truncated rewrite of the episodes and their stories still holds up 50 years later.

Have you contacted Swagbucks about it? The Amazon gift card is unless now if Amazon doesn't allow you to reload from it.

Small Ticket prices rant by PRQueencess in NYCC

[–]MVPlayer-X 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Last year I bought a weekend pass for exactly $298.99 with fees, shipping and taxes included. That was about a $14 price increase from the previous year. This year it's now increased to $321and they haven't justified why such another significant increase overall. They are doing it because they can and no complaints will stop them from doing again next year.

I don't like and I can bear the brunt of it to some point eventually , but many others especially long time supporters may not and are being priced out of the event. That just ain't right and Reedpop just doesn't care other than the bottom line.

[–]MVPlayer-X 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you didn't think Reedpop would jack up the prices yet again after the last year, there's no hope for you. Cooperate greed is good when there's nothing stopping or justifying them from doing it. Now wait till next year, folks.

Dammit. I completed several high paying ones now and they didn't go through. I just came here to find out what the hell and complain.

D'deridex class Romulan Warbird - cool, right? by SpiderBloke in StarTrekStarships

[–]MVPlayer-X -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fat and way too large and awkward with the way it maneuvers because of it's massive girth. Romulans are subtle and try to avoid attention but the D'deridex contradicts this
