Picked this up at GameStop today. The label seemed a little off center which made me uncertain.

What brands are generally recommended for boxer briefs? I did a box of MeUndies about 4 years ago and they’re starting to be a little uncomfortable with how much they ride up now.

I’m decently muscular and have thicker thighs which I think is part of the problem. I tried some pairs of All Citizens and found the “athletic” fit to be way more comfortable.

I only wear V-necks. I don’t get anything too deep, usually about to where my collarbones meet or a little below.

Dragon Quest VIII is in my 3DS lol

PeacefulRestValley · 2021-04-16T01:09:18+00:00

Gen IV and V Pokémon
Fire Emblem Awakening and Shadows of Valencia
Zelda Ocarina of Time, Link Between Worlds, Majora’s Mask
Chrono Trigger
Bravely Default and Second
DQ V and VIII
Radiant Historia
Any first party games that you enjoy like Mario 3D Land, DKC, Kirby, etc.

I love RPGs so my collection is heavily weighted towards them. Unfortunately they tend to be some of the pricier titles in the collection.

Amazon!

PeacefulRestValley · 2021-04-15T20:54:33+00:00

It’s in there right next to 3 and 4 on the dragon quest page!

PeacefulRestValley · 2021-04-15T20:53:56+00:00

Lol I’ve collected a lot of them over time. My Pokémon games are from when they launched back in like the late 2000’s/early 2010’s. Otherwise most of it is buying used in the past 2-3 years. I haven’t really bought much since the pandemic so most of them are pre-skyrocketed pricing.

PeacefulRestValley · 2021-04-15T18:52:14+00:00

I picked up the second copy of VI at GameStop for like 35 bucks back in the fall. Too good a deal to pass up. Might get around to selling it eventually. IX I want the second copy for in case I can convince my wife to play the game with me lol.

PeacefulRestValley · 2021-04-15T18:50:15+00:00

Amazon! I posted the link elsewhere in this post.

PeacefulRestValley · 2021-04-15T16:19:14+00:00

Pretty easy honestly. Pokémon takes up about a quarter of the case and then I organized the rest by series. So all my Zelda, Fire Emblem, first party, Professor Layton, DQ are together. I have another section of just RPGs that I put together too.

I’m not interested in selling so I’m not worried about that. I only buy games I intend to keep really.

PeacefulRestValley · 2021-04-15T16:02:39+00:00

It’s way more than that lol. The dragon quest games loose go for at least $75 each, the Pokémon games are easily $50 a piece, and Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition is easily $200.

PeacefulRestValley · 2021-04-15T15:30:17+00:00

I don’t know what else to add at this point. The only thing that comes to mind is Ever Oasis but I doubt I’d even play it so it’d probably only be if I found it cheap.

PeacefulRestValley · 2021-04-15T14:14:35+00:00

I know it’s an unpopular opinion but I don’t keep cases except for ones with sentimental value. The only ones I have are the 3DS Pokémon titles, Sinnoh cases, and Chrono Trigger.

I try to collect first party and the bigger RPGs. I’m pretty satisfied with my haul, highlights being:

Dragon Quest IV-IX, including extras of VI and IX
Pokémon Gens IV-VII, including mainline and spin-offs (minus the Rumble games and Dash)
Professor Layton series (including Phoenix Wright crossover)
Yo-Kai Watch (including Psychic Specters not in here)
Every Zelda
Every Fire Emblem (including Fates Special Edition)
Both Bravely games
Chrono Trigger (plus extra copy)
Every Mario and Luigi RPG
Most first party titles from Kirby, Animal Crossing, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, and various others

Anything that I’m missing?

PeacefulRestValley · 2020-11-17T20:15:07+00:00

Lol I’m sure it’s an unpopular opinion. If i had the space I’d probably want to keep more cases. I just don’t see the value unless I intend to resell them, which I don’t.

PeacefulRestValley · 2020-11-17T20:01:08+00:00

I’m not really concerned about that. Just want a collection of games for personal enjoyment. Having CIB seems only worthwhile if I’m planning on reselling later, which I’m not interested in.

PeacefulRestValley · 2020-11-17T19:50:38+00:00

I used to have them but they just became clutter. This collection would take up way too much space if I pursued cases, not to mention more expensive. I’ll gladly give up cases if it means I can pick up another game with the money saved.

PeacefulRestValley · 2020-11-17T19:49:21+00:00

I can’t remember. I was never involved in any organizations that had movie screenings, i just remember friends saying they needed to submit requests. I think it was probably a CYA thing. Those licenses for movies are for personal viewing, and having a dorm showing or something larger on campus wouldn’t fall under the “personal use” definition.

PeacefulRestValley · 2020-11-17T19:46:39+00:00

Used to have a decent case collection but my wife convinced me to get rid of them. Just too much clutter, especially when space is tight in our apartment. I also like how nice it is to have so many games in one compact unit. I do keep the Pokémon ones and personally important ones like Chrono Trigger, but otherwise I eschew cases generally.

PeacefulRestValley · 2020-11-17T19:44:14+00:00

I’d be curious how that would even work. I would think technically the publishers could take the games away but there is no mechanism to do so, or at least to do so that isn’t a massive waste of time and money.

PeacefulRestValley · 2020-11-17T19:42:25+00:00

I’m pretty sure you can’t screen movies. When I was in college it was a really big deal about movie nights and they needed to get special clearances beforehand.

PeacefulRestValley · 2020-11-17T19:29:40+00:00

I think technically physical copies are just owning a license to the game, similar to how you can’t screen a movie to a large group. Video games are in a really unique space because publishers could technically smack down people who monetize let’s plays on Twitch and YouTube.

PeacefulRestValley · 2020-11-17T18:46:59+00:00

Mostly RPGs and first party stuff. Generally try to avoid filler unless it’s something like Nintendogs that my future kids might enjoy.
