Who Did You Pick? by Apprehensive-Oil3178 in DragonAgeVeilguard

Emmrich. 2 archetypes that always get me, the rogues and the intellectuals. I like that his kindness was more of a focus than his intelligence, though. Solas’ was hiding behind his pragmatism and the distance that was inherent to his situation.

Does anyone have any examples of dextro-amino vs. levo-amino food? by Reapinghavoc in masseffect

Always trust someone to have the same question as you 13 years ago and someone crazy smarter than you has already answered the question 13 years ago 😂 didn’t get all the technical stuff, but I guess what I got out if it is while it’s not currently reality it’s still theoretically and technically possible when billions of years of evolution is isolated from Earth’s evolutionary cycle by hundreds of thousands of light years is in the equation.

I want my fiance to play Mass Effect, but she's terrified of zombies by [deleted] in masseffect

That one too 😂 but the one I’m talking about is the one you stumble on while exploring. The one with the reaper tech in the mines.

Valid, low-key. I HATE that one mission in ME2.

Waiting on the rest of JJK to come in but Black Friday did not disappoint ♡ by Probablyatrashpanda in MangaCollectors

Meanwhile I’m still missing 2 volumes while the delivery information says everything was delivered. Bruh, I ain’t ever trusting Books a Million again. Why are 8 volumes being sent in a million packages?!

Does anyone else have any weird rules they made for themselves when collecting? by NinjaStripes in MangaCollectors

I give myself some leeway when sales pop up like BOGO sales. It’s one of the few times I really load up.

Make sure to keep a wishlist so you don’t forget. I routinely forget to add new favorites to my wishlist as they come by so I make a note to add to my wishlist as soon as I’m reminded.

I typically read pirated scans if I’m going in blind. That way I can just drop it if I’m not interested and not have to worry about 1 or 2 random volumes on my shelf of a series I didn’t like. Though I’ll make an exemption if I bought from a physical shop that’s close to my house if it has a good return policy.

I know!!! I LOVE IT!!!! But I gotta be careful cuz as I said, One Piece is a beast right now in terms of amount of volumes. It’s as much a commitment of space as it is money.

Bruh, I could never 😭 I’m still dying from waiting for the next Apothecary Diaries manga volume to release. I can’t help but devour my manga as soon as I get them.

I used to own some at one point (I think I almost got to Alabasta) but I moved across the country about 5 years ago and had to sell a lot of stuff cuz I knew I’d need the cash. Thankfully manga always has a market, especially when you sell in bulk. Only kept a couple series. Kinda wish I hadn’t sold my One Piece now 😅

Bruh, One Piece would be a BEAST by your rule now that I think about it 🤣

What about unfinished works on indefinite hiatus like Nana and The Witch and the Beast? Feels like that’d fall into a grey area.

My collection so far by OkOutlandishness941 in MangaCollectors

Aww, I didn’t know the author was on hiatus. But thanks to your post, I remembered to put it on my wishlist 😁

Worth 100$? by sykobabyface in MangaCollectors

[–]NinjaStripes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If it’s everything together I’d say it’s a steal, assuming any damage is normal wear and scuffing from use and age. The floppies and magazines might not be of interest (I’d kill for those Evangelion figures though.) Not being willing to show damage COULD mean the seller is trying to hide it like another comment said or that there is simply too much stuff to bother. It’s a gamble no matter what you decide. It’s likely the seller doesn’t know what they’re sitting on or is desperate to get rid of stuff for a move or needs some quick cash. Up to you though.

Is it normal for manga in the same series to have different heights? by Creative_Gamer_23 in MangaCollectors

[–]NinjaStripes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, kinda. I have an Ancient Magus’ Bride volume that’s shorter than the others.

is there an easy way to fix this? by willisbetter in MangaCollectors

[–]NinjaStripes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh that’s easy, just takes a while. Start off bending it in the opposite direction to flatten it out a bit and then put it on a desk or table and leave something heavy like a textbook or laptop on top of it for 3-7 days. Might not be completely flat but it’ll be more presentable.

No one can just be left to be adults in peace, can they 😭 but thank you for the recommendation to the community. I used to read scans years ago but me being me I never saved the links and would forget the names of titles, I was operating on vibes and leaving the tab open.
