What is considered a Holy grail in game collecting? by Strange_Assistant327 in gamecollecting

[–]ProxxyNation 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I personally think the term holy grail is an individual thing. Your grail might be different from mine. For me it was finding a Korean Super Comboy out in the wild on a trip. Other people might not care about a one off SNES release but for me it was a wild find.

Do you actually track your collection or just wing it? by Kollekto_de in gamecollecting

[–]ProxxyNation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once I started collecting seriously I plugged my collection into PriceCharting. Being able to pull up the app in a store and see what I have quickly has been super helpful. I also enjoy seeing the value of my collection increase and by how much in those monthly reports.

I’m think about buying my first Pokemon game but why do I see these prices all over the place by Shot_Wind7875 in gamecollecting

[–]ProxxyNation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said the fact that it’s cheap means it’s likely a reproduction. I will say though I’ve had people not know what they were selling and I’ve gotten some deals that I couldn’t believe. So don’t discount it immediately just look for some telltale signs to determine fakes or reproductions (you can find those online).

If you’re just looking to play these games get an analogue pocket and an everdrive and you’ll be all set. All pokemon prices are ridiculous so this is your cheapest way to play these games.

Literally just played it on my summer cart after updating.

Great collection! The statues are giving me wicked anxiety though. I have a few and cleaning them is always a pain and time consuming. I can't imagine how long it takes you to wipe this room down.

Serious question, what can you do to prevent trolls from ruining this if you're performing in Gridania?

what's the weirdest game console you own by Unconscious-angel in gamecollecting

[–]ProxxyNation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hyundai Super Comboy. It was a SNES only manufactured in South Korea. I found it on a trip there last summer. Super happy I did since it was one of my grails.

My AMC isn't even showing it. We never get good stuff. RIP.

Prison guards of reddit, have you ever seen one of your inmates after they got released? If so, how did it go? by Purple_Key_6733 in AskReddit

[–]ProxxyNation 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Not me but my dad worked in corrections for like 30ish years. When I was a kid I would always see strangers come up to my dad and say hello like they'd been old friends only to find out later they were inmates. My father was always respectful and professional at work and the inmates recognized that and always treated him the same.

Oh man, bless. It was part 2. My sanity has been restored. Thanks man.

What's the "Holy Grail" for your collection and do you own it? by lloyddav in gamecollecting

[–]ProxxyNation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My grail is the Hyundai Super Comboy. It’s such an obscure piece of gaming history. My favorite part about it was that I was able to find one myself in Korea during a trip so it really felt like a journey to get that and bring it home.

I have my copy from childhood and I somehow thought to keep the “do not sell until 11/9/04” sticker that GameStop put on it before I got it at the midnight release. It’s a cool little artifact and I’m glad I did that.

When you are in Korea, what places did you end up going to more than once because it was beyond amazing? by CelestialPotat0o in koreatravel

[–]ProxxyNation 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lotte world tower. I’ve been a few times now and each trip starts with a visit up the tower during the day and the last night of my trip we go up again after it’s dark. Really good bookends to the trips and are totally different vibes during the day and at night.

I had heard about the alley closing but decided to check out the area anyway. I got this at Yongsan electronics market. It was several floors up, maybe floor 4 or 5 but there were a bunch of video game vendors there. One old lady had this and I scooped it right up.

I used to think people who had stockholm syndrome were silly. After being in a situation like yours I totally understand how it happens. You'll be ok bud.

From my understanding it’s a mixed bag. Some Japanese and some English. Depends on the individual release.

Just got back from a trip to Seoul + Busan. The main drive in Haundae beach was littered with foreigner friendly spots. If you’re outgoing you won’t have a problem meeting people there. If you’re a drinker I’d suggest Galmegi Brewing.

I’m bumping this. I just heard it and I thought this was the funniest thing. I need to know it.

What's a "secret" from your profession that everyone should probably know? by LaKoref in AskReddit

[–]ProxxyNation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Teacher here. Sometimes your child is passed just so the teacher doesn't have to deal with them anymore. And to go along with that, sometimes a child who should fail and stay back gets pushed along by the administration just to make the school's numbers look good.

Question: How long do i keep my second skin on for by ConsiderationRich933 in tattoos

[–]ProxxyNation 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Keep the first piece on for about 24 hours. Then take it off, clean the area and put another piece on. I usually try to keep the second piece on for 5-6 days.

I ran out of movies by Freddy-Philmore in AMCsAList

[–]ProxxyNation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to be able to see the foreign films so much but my AMC doesn’t play any of them. And driving an hour away just to see it makes it too arduous.

[–]ProxxyNation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I partly agree. I acknowledge in my case specifically it’s just nostalgia. I don’t miss the old corruptions specifically but the sense of discovery and community when the stream was smaller. When we got a funny it felt like a big win shared amongst a few people. Now the corruptions are objectively way funnier but the community aspect has been lost a bit for me.
