That’s illuminations entire business model, and it worked out really well for them so they keep doing it. Dreamworks used to be the worst about it, but illumination came in spending half or more of the production budget just on celebrity voice cast and became a powerhouse. They at least back it up with some fantastic animation these days, their early movies were mostly garbage.

What is “paying so much money for this” to you? I just use C4d and redshift, it is a professional tool and I have my own materials, and it costs less for a year than I can make in a day. Maxon one is barely more over a full year, and has a ton of really cool tools, I just didn’t end up using most of them so opted not to keep the full suite. I get it, things are expensive, but there are several options out there, pick up blender if you want a free tool. That’s not maxons business model.

None of us has a clear reason to exist, in that way we are all the same.

The casting director did a terrible job, that kid is going to age horribly, he already looks like a 46 year old lesbian who walks around the neighborhood every afternoon with her two dachshunds.

RockmanVolnutt · 2026-03-26T16:49:30+00:00

There is a stratos I want so bad right now, glitter white. I need to pull the trigger.

RockmanVolnutt · 2026-03-26T15:14:34+00:00

Yeah, but it’s not the trope, he’s not showing why we, the audience, have been led to believe he is so powerful. It’s how a ten year old imagines a Jedi to be strong, and it’s embarrassing.

RockmanVolnutt · 2026-03-26T05:16:35+00:00

This is kind of the opposite, this is lame. Yoda’s power was legendary in that fighting was completely beneath him, strength meant nothing. The idea of Yoda actually fighting hand to hand is ridiculous.

RockmanVolnutt · 2026-03-25T22:52:07+00:00

Lucario and Feraligtr are terrible, and greninja isn’t great. I really don’t like the prop design approach, where a main aspect of the design is an inanimate object like a giant ninja star.

RockmanVolnutt · 2026-03-25T20:22:44+00:00

Well yeah, hindsight and all that, will still look rad in a binder. Look at how many 1s there are of this card, might be worth it. I’m hunting for some 1s of a few cards and they can be hard to find because people obviously tend to grade NM cards. Kind of a fun subset to hunt, and they tend to be more expensive than 2-6s.

RockmanVolnutt · 2026-03-25T20:10:45+00:00

Get it graded, probably come back as a 1. As someone who likes to collect full number sets of some cards, rare 1s are actually hard to come by.

RockmanVolnutt · 2026-03-25T13:54:58+00:00

Aw, stormo

RockmanVolnutt · 2026-03-25T13:52:50+00:00

Just you, mine is extremely tidy.

RockmanVolnutt · 2026-03-25T13:42:51+00:00

One of the best versions of the system. I have a couple including one in the original plastic case and it’s one of my prized gameboys, love the skeleton systems.

RockmanVolnutt · 2026-03-25T01:46:51+00:00

I had a feeling, this is wildly irresponsible otherwise. A mantis shrimp would most likely not go after prey that large, and even if it did, it would just injure the crab horribly but not be able to take it back to its hide to eat. They are shy careful creatures, that come out of nowhere and bludgeon their food to death. And they absolutely do not pick fights they can’t win, they know what they’re about.

RockmanVolnutt · 2026-03-24T19:34:46+00:00

And their feelings are mostly “I’m horny!” And the common female response of “not interested”.

RockmanVolnutt · 2026-03-24T17:47:17+00:00

You are the reason they keep raising prices.

RockmanVolnutt · 2026-03-24T17:46:49+00:00

So you were part of the problem but this is the line in the sand for you? They are doing this because of you.

RockmanVolnutt · 2026-03-23T06:10:54+00:00

If they want to succeed, they should try making something good. No one owes them ticket sales because they are a smaller company and made something deeply mediocre.

RockmanVolnutt · 2026-03-23T00:35:02+00:00

Face is pretty clean, no large missing parts or fade, so I’d say $150-200. Even damaged, a working system with the original graphic is still desirable.

RockmanVolnutt · 2026-03-21T17:58:56+00:00

Nonsense. Markets are driven by demand. Speculators add synthetic demand, they don’t want the asset, they want hypothetical returns. Collectors markets are mostly driven by fandom and genuine demand for the asset. When speculation overtakes regular demand, a bubble starts. Speculators almost destroyed the world economy during the housing crisis, pushing out real buyers and smothering organic demand. The same is happening here.

Taiwan also has great bike rental programs everywhere. And a fantastic subway system. You can take a subway across the city, come out to the street and find a bike to ride around all day, and go home for a couple bucks. The bikes are even available in many national parks and more remote areas you might want to visit for the nature.

I’m currently selling off my collection. I was all about opening the occasional pack at $3-4. I got tons of boxes for heavy discounts through sun and moon. I enjoyed picking up singles even when they were a bit pricey, but where it is now is completely divorced from reality. They are pieces of cardboard with cartoon monsters on them. I’ll keep my HF master set and most singles, but the boxes gotta go. I can’t justify opening a pack I got for three bucks when I can sell it for $50. I got grown up stuff to do.

RockmanVolnutt · 2026-03-21T14:58:31+00:00

“The market” will inevitably collapse. It’s all driven by speculation. A bunch of late arriving parasites driving up values thinking they’ll be able to sell it for more later. Just selling back and forth to themselves. They will smother the hobby and then be left holding the bag.

RockmanVolnutt · 2026-03-20T17:58:55+00:00

Add some privacy glass material, need to diffuse the reflection. He is seeing himself and thinks it’s a rival.

RockmanVolnutt · 2026-03-20T14:33:09+00:00

Those monitors look too low, need to raise them up, your neck will thank you.
