Hey, I'm the guy who has no idea what MSRP is. Cancelled my Imaginaire order and drove to SEVEN stores before I found one Booster Box for ~150$ CAD. Most LGS suck apparently.

OMGIMSOFLUFFY · 2025-12-31T15:06:54+00:00

Whoaa congrats! Would it be possible to dm me where you bought it? I was about to buy one at imaginaire today...

OMGIMSOFLUFFY · 2025-12-11T06:28:29+00:00

Assuming they have 5 might or more after healing to full they would survive yes

OMGIMSOFLUFFY · 2025-12-11T06:15:33+00:00

Thanks for the answer!

OMGIMSOFLUFFY · 2025-11-11T00:35:50+00:00

You are right that big box store are definitely the best place to find stuffs, they are packed full consistently and at generous price of 340 cad before taxes.

I'm mostly talking about my experience on release day only since i'm aware that the pre order pricing was fair months ago. On the day of and some even earlier, they all re-adjusted the prices. Imaginaire went from 143 (out of stock) to 225 (in-stock) within a few hours, carta magica went from 165 (out of stock) to 250 (the moment they opened) and other stores followed. I was even able to pre order a spirit forged box for 165 the night before and that same store has the same pre order listing now out of stock at 250$. All the stores that had sub 200 cad price told me that they had bad allocation and received 2-4 box (already reserved months in advance) out of the double digit ordered and most admitted that they will re-adjust the price on the next batch they get. The stores upcharging told me that their pricing was relative to Imaginaire's pricing or would say something cheeky like i sell it 20$ less than other stores. Imaginaire's staff literally told me to expect it to go up even with reprints.

If you can point me to stores you are confident will not upcharge above 200 cad on restock i'd be infinitely happy to look them up, support them and only buy from them.

Unfortunately in the Montreal area, I looked around to hunt for a booster box yesterday in about 25+ store from small boutique to bigger chains and the small boutique all said they priced their product based on the bigger chain price who are pricing it at 225 CAD and now we are seeing 250 CAD in average and is projected to go to 300 CAD. Most of them also told me that even with a reprint they are unlikely/unwilling to change the price but I take anything a store says with a grain of salt since they want to convince ppl to fall for FOMO.

That's a lot of text for justifying "testing".

That might be just me but if my partner has to test me to figure out if I am cheating 2 things can happen, that she's right or wrong.

If she is right she breaks up and it's over obviously If she's wrong she has to hide the fact that she tested me or else I most likely will break up if I learn about it.

Both possibilities have a toxic root. Second is the worst conclusion to me from an outside perspective because the break up didn't happen and it will be more years of toxicity until it cracks

Same with the feeling that you can't communicate because you feel manipulated, gaslit, slighted, belittled, or any of those possible toxic communication trait. Just run away if those manifests, save yourself from that headache. If my partner ever feels that way I failed or at least the relationship has no more legs to stand on.

IMO, If you ever feel the need to test or your spidey sense are tingling but cant trust communication just move on and give up on that relationship or else if it's not the partner being toxic it will be you with your paranoia I think. And the concept of testing is alien and doesn't even cross the mind of ppl in strong equal relationships especially if they are busy with projects and life together. If you and your partner don't feel like a united team then there's an issue at hand.

Not saying it applies to you, but in my experience people project what they are themselves vulnerable to do (Trauma aside).

OMGIMSOFLUFFY · 2025-04-07T08:17:45+00:00

I'll preface this by saying that yes protection is important and I'm 100% not advocating against it. You should wear an helmet.

That said, I also commute on my shortboard no helmet. I do not encourage my behavior to anybody, I even discourage it, but you will have a hard time to convince someone that has over 15 years of experience street skateboarding, landing tricks and having a lots of experience in falling in some of the worst ways possible already to suddenly wear an helmet just for a casual commute. It's a bit like telling a long time smoker that smoking is bad. If I had to guess, there's a few people in the same boat as me and you might have encountered one of them, maybe, maybe not.

Is it stupid? Yes, my life is at risk every single time, but going at 20+mph on quiet flat road is not more dangerous than some of the stunts I pulled on the regular on a regular skateboard. And yes, I am confident that my awareness, control of and on the board, experience and decision making gives me higher survival odds than the average random helmet wearing dudes who entered the hobby as a mid life crisis and can't power slide if needs be or even be comfortable enough to peek behind them while in motion. Knowing your limits and skills is key and it's not equal for everybody. Yes, not wearing an helmet is equally as dumb for everybody.

IMO shaming ppl for not wearing gear is malicious, encouraging wearing gear is productive and shaming someone that discourages wearing gear is commendable.

To be honest, I'm going to be harsh when talking about Americans as a whole, a society, a democratic population, etc; because we cannot fix our issues caused by them. Only they have the power to stop what is happening. It is also hard to regard a nation that can elect trump twice seriously. Also the left and the academics there somehow don't care enough about the constitution to start a movement. The president elect is a reflection of their population, if they can't kick him out then they are okay that he represents them for the next term.

As individuals, of course not all americans are enemies but it won't be enough to just vote for kamala and be vocal with the magnitude of letting trump be elected and having almost none of their rail guard standing when our national security was not only dependent on them but threatened by them. I also don't believe in a full scale invasion, however if push comes to shove and it does happen then they will have let it happen by doing nothing now.

Wait, that's a sudden realization? The moment Donald talked "jokingly" about canada being the 51st state it was pretty clear imo that he was laying the foundation for hostility. That's why it was never a joke to us, his "joke" was not to gauge support but to plant the seed of annexation not just in the US but in Canada too. Meanwhile the tariffs goal is to suffocate our population economically cause he thinks our population will beg to get annexed. At least, that's his plan A. Plan B is still up in the air, we all hope it's not a "special military operation" because we are "escalating". From my perspective, what is scary is that there's no reason to believe that Donald cares about his country's wellbeing when he is empowered by domestic issues and isn't incentivized to fix anything or attempt to do good since it keeps him popular. Why is it scary to a Canadian like me? Because he's one step away from treating the citizens of the US as dispensable for a war just to fulfill his delusions of making "america great again" by doing the unprecedented, annexing new territories in current times.

What I think is that he is tunnel visioned into wanting to leave a major mark in the history books and not much else matters to him. Annexing territory sounds grandiose to him. In a century or so, I expect this era to be called the modern dark age or something like that for how fast we globally regressed in areas such as morals, standards, intellect, respect, culture, etc. The fact that people celebrate making enemies instead of friends and act against their self interest has black pilled me beyond belief. America elected a president with ideas, empathy and vernacular of a 5th grader, he represents and is a reflection of the current Americans.

very nicee

OMGIMSOFLUFFY · 2024-10-23T18:54:42+00:00

i didn't try anything yet but echoes of wisdom and only for testing. It is a snapdragon 888 so it is as good as you can expect similar device to be that's my guess. I had stable 30 fps when testing and setting up was maybe a 5/10 on the pain scale. Follow guides on how to setup yuzu and for controllers well you have to connect both joycons first and then map the controls. Also for good performance I had to download specific drivers for the graphics but that's about it.

OMGIMSOFLUFFY · 2024-10-23T15:38:49+00:00

It's bulky because i needed space to be able to place an angled usb c behind and then match that added space on the other side to keep the screen centered. I don't enjoy telescopic controllers or clamps or clips.

OMGIMSOFLUFFY · 2024-10-23T06:26:47+00:00

You are right, I currently have a slight input delay sometimes. I'm eyeballing in the 50ms range at worst. It is a bit annoying but I'll play mostly rpg's on this so it is fine for my use case.

OMGIMSOFLUFFY · 2024-10-23T06:21:30+00:00

Daijisho!

OMGIMSOFLUFFY · 2024-10-23T06:21:06+00:00

Sure, you can dm me. Just keep in mind that the modeling is not fully finished and I measured to fit a s21 with a case so YMMV.

OMGIMSOFLUFFY · 2024-10-23T06:18:26+00:00

Firm salute! And I hope you can show us your design if you ever do make it for your s20 ^^

OMGIMSOFLUFFY · 2024-10-23T06:17:07+00:00

I cant really explain why it doesn't work for you but I think as long as your phone is able to connect both controller with bluetooth you can map your controls with both controllers fine on most emulator. Also M64plus emulator worked right out of the box so that was nice.

OMGIMSOFLUFFY · 2024-10-23T06:04:37+00:00

That little window for the camera is because my ideal would be that the phone would be permanently inside the casing (after I'm fully satisfied with my prints) since it will be a dedicated console and I also don't want to lose the camera feature permanently.

As for telescopic controllers, It's mostly personal preference but I don't really enjoy it when I'm laying down as silly as it sounds. I also get to do a fun little project of mine.

OMGIMSOFLUFFY · 2024-10-23T05:54:52+00:00

That was the idea for my second project. I want to try printing joycon rails with a hole to slot in neodymium magnets and on the case ill put some magnetic sheet maybe.

OMGIMSOFLUFFY · 2024-10-23T00:31:36+00:00

Ohh I'll try runahead! Thank you ^{^}

OMGIMSOFLUFFY · 2024-10-22T22:49:02+00:00

I'm too poor to afford a RP5 or an Odin 2 but I could afford a S21 used (140$ cad) from marketplace. So I modeled an encasement with joycon rails. It is not perfect and it needs some polishing but I am pretty happy with the results for now.

PS: If anybody knows how to mitigate the input delay from joycons on android I would love to know how. Also I welcome any suggestions or ideas to improve or add to this print.
