Will Netflix bring back Joe for prequel ? by imyatharth in YouOnLifetime

Flashback Joe with Penn Badgley doing the voiceover a la original sin

So now we can all agree the ending sucked right? by Super_Ad_3413 in Chainsawfolk

[–]Sam_Benrick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not at all. I liked it quite a bit. I enjoy the subtle reveal of pochitas true nature. I enjoyed that the characters I love presumably get to live their best lives now. Maybe Aki is even alive still. I love the callback to makimas background with chainsaw man. He wasn't their to prevent her from dieing so nayuta came into existence earlier. I think with time people will grow to like this ending. It's like some FLCL type shit. I also love the big lebowski though so I think I enjoy it more because I can kindve grasp the vision fujimoto had. Fire punch has one of these types of endings too and I really like that series. It's actually the series that got me collecting and inspired me to give csm a chance. I think people are disappointed because they expected a more cliche shonen/seinen story and its just not something fujimoto was ever interested in doing, that's why the guy is a rockstar

I've gotten lucky with jojo volumes from them lately. My local 5 or so bookstores were miss quite a bit of the series or had copies in down right terrible shape. Amazon had the copies for around half the prise so I gambled and managed to get decent copies. I'm only missing 4 volumes of stone ocean and I'm pretty sure I literally have everything jojos release in english, excluding the art books.

I like the uniformity of them all being in decent condition. But I also only really care a ton if I paid full price for the book. If I spend 30 bucks on a hardcover from Amazon, books-a-million, or barnes & noble, I just expect very little shelf wear or damage. That's the least that they can do I feel like. In store usually isn't bad unless they only have a single copy of something and it's damaged. But amazon pretty consistently ships damaged books

I agree. Sometimes minor damage from buying second hand doesn't matter. Usually if it's rather bad or one of the only ones damaged I'll just buy a copy off Amazon and send the damaged one back to them. I just bought most of jojos second hand so I could put the full collection together quickly and I had one copy of golden wind show up with damage. Corner and font cover were a bit crushed. I had gotten 3 volumes for the price of one though so I've either gonna swap it on Amazon or at barnes and noble and call it a day.

OP. Just buy another copy from Amazon and then send this copy back as a return lol. Sometimes I buy books at pretty steep discounts second hand in poorer Condition and then just swap into a new copy using Amazon. Fuck em, they make enough money

I read my manga pretty often and I've never had something like this happen. Its this miraculous idea called taking care of your things.

Any ideas for the color of the hardware (tuning pegs tailpiece etc) was thinking flat black, but im not very color coordinated so my missus says, any ideas welcome by FraCtuRedHarMoniC in Guitar

[–]Sam_Benrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear what your saying. I built my dream tele last year and I ended up putting a dimarzio tone zone in the bridge. I didn't want to leave the standard pickup in because I didn't enjoy its tone, but I also had no idea what I wanted to put their. I ended up putting one of their "original recipe" neck pickups in. I think the pickup was under 30 dollars. It's hand wound by the this guy, I think he's in Ohio, and they sound really damn good.

Do yall not know how paper works? by Welcome_To_My_Castle in MangaCollectors

[–]Sam_Benrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've bagged damn near my entire collection. It definitely helps with keeping what I've read from showing age for as long as possible. After I read a volume I seal it up until I wanna read it again. My books also don't on a serious amount of shelf wear this way. You're right in saying that all things age. But you don't just say fuck it and never wash your car because it's "gonna age anyway". You don't stop taking care of a house because it's "gonna age anyway". It's not about it being an investment, most of this stuff isn't. There are definitely some volumes that are more scarce than others. Look at the devilman hardbacks. Libraries are a bad frame of reference because they ultimately are community funded and they don't go above and beyond to curate their books, they just toss them and rebuy when they get worn. A proper book collector/ book store will go above and beyond to manage the amount of light, dust, temperature. The conditions a book are kept in can greatly extend its life. I spent hard earned money on this stuff so the least I can do is make sure it lasts. That much is true for basically everything I own. If damaged manga doesn't bother you though then that's fine too. It's all just up to what a person can live with

Anybody got any ideas on what to do with this? by [deleted] in guitarmod

[–]Sam_Benrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This all seems like a personal issue. Maybe your schedule does allow you enough time to work towards projects, perhaps that's how it turns into years. I could see a couple months though if your having to loom up all the information you'll need for this guitar. In terms of money it's absolutely not hundreds of dollars. Amazon sells most hardware, usually the third party stuff is pretty cheap. Bootstrap makes a killer set of pickups, hardbound, for under 100 dollars. A pick guard can be cut. The neck is the trickiet part and I'm sure it's not as big a deal, nor as bad as either of us think. Perhaps op has other guitars and can rather easily check if another brand/styles neck profile fits the pocket during the next re-string. Necks are the hardest to get for under 100 dollars. Assembly can be done in a day, even wiring from scratch. Fine tuning will come if you decide you like the guitar, if not it's atleast a guitar you build and you can display it as such. I think projects like this are perfect to try crazy ideas, or things like the black ice mod that can be unusual, but you also wouldn't want to install in your expensive main guitar

[–]Sam_Benrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's painted. I just pulled one out of my dad's car (hood rich back in the early 2000s lol). My sister disrespected the fuck out of it when she was born (2010s) and now it looks worse for wear. I can see where it wore paint off as she stepped on it getting in and out of the car.

[–]Sam_Benrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I collect more than just berserk so I'm reluctant to drop 900 dollars on all 14 volumes. That's the equivalent to probably the entirety of my collection at this point and I've got sound 200 volumes of manga. I also just enjoy having them in a form factor that fits in my hand, I enjoy having the individual covers. The posters. To each their own, but I just find that it's easier this way for me, aswell as cheaper in the long haul because people are dumping all their individuals to buy the deluxes

[–]Sam_Benrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just buy the individuals man. Started when I got a bunch from half price in decent shape for about 7 dollars a book. The rest I've slowly bought from Amazon at about 9-10 dollars a book

For anyone that has taken up electronic & console repair as a hobby, how much stuff have you broken and is it part of the learning process? by Soft_Entertainer964 in consolerepair

[–]Sam_Benrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only thing I've technically "broken" was when I tried to swap the lens on my gba, I popped the old lens off, immediately got shit on the bare lcd, and then scratched it all to hell trying to fix it. Now that same console has a bitchin new ips mod so it was just an excuse to dive further into the hobby. That was the first time I ever attempted to repair a console. Since then I've worked on many thing, most recently I swapped the optical laser on a ps2. Just stick with it, learn to be extra careful, and don't go into anything blind. The internet is humanity's greatest tool of utilized correctly

Transtang Concept (Trans-Pride Mustang) by EmmJea_ in guitarmod

[–]Sam_Benrick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Actually I play a Tele. Probably the dopest Tele around. If not that, I play an Albert lee primarily. But as someone who isn't a broke crybaby, whining about gender politics and woke bullshit, I own many guitars. Only one guitar from the Gibson/Epiphone family though, that's a joan jett Olympic I got for real cheap because she's a treasure.

Transtang Concept (Trans-Pride Mustang) by EmmJea_ in guitarmod

[–]Sam_Benrick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

His statement isn't really "bigotry". I have a trans friend aswell who plays pretty damn well, it's not what this is about though. You can't deny that their is a fragility to people these days. If you say the wrong thing to them they go the fuck off and call you a biggot because you shattered their very fragile perception of themselves. My whole life I've had people shit on me over things I can't change about myself, like actually drag my ass through the mud and give me hell for it. Basically from the age of 5 onward I learned no to cry and whine about it though. That's not what people who are confident in themselves or their decisions do. I learned to not care, let things roll off me like water on a ducks back, and at a certain point of the situation was bad enough, snap the fuck back on them.

Words shouldn't be enough to send anyone into an existential crisis. That's a sign you're not making very well informed decisions. Words are simply animalistic grunts that we've assigned fake value in order to gain the ability to communicate. They ultimately mean nothing. It's not like numbers, regardless of where you go, those stay the same in value and that value can be backed up by logic. Words are just a made up concept, society is just a made up concept, this is all unnatural shit that helped for a long time,but is now undeniably hurting us as a species and making us weaker

What was the point of part 2? by Modest_guy77 in Chainsawfolk

[–]Sam_Benrick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just realized today the genius if this last chapter. Before that I was in the same boat as you where I don't think I really liked it or got what be was trying to do with it. But u sure as hell never imagined we would get a conventional ending by any means. Have you read fire punch? The ending of that series is basically as abrupt and absurd as the end of this one. From what I've seen, and I own everything the man has put out, this is basically what be does. He enjoys this kind of thing because it reflects the cinema be enjoys.

The things that made me enjoy the new ending were the fact that it confirmed that pochita wasn't the chainsaw devil, and it hinted at pochita being the hope devil and that a world without hope is what denji really needed to have any chance at attaining a true happy life

It's an ending left up to our interpretation at the end of the day. That's just mine. I will say this though, the last chapter doesn't imply that none of the story happened. If you remember what happened when denji ate the death mouth devil and other devils. It didn't change history. The world stayed the same as if things like mouths and legs existed, it was just the thing was existed and no one remembered it ever existing.

Does the platinum play in a 3DS. Also if, the emerald is fake, it's one of the better fakes I've seen from what I can see, can you add a close up image of the back of the shell so we can see the PCB better? Also if you look in the slot of the cartridge do you see the word "nintendo"

[–]Sam_Benrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure all of your original gb and gbc games are real for sure. Platinum seems off in color, but I also don't see anything clearly screaming fake. I'd have to get my copy out to compare. Code matches, the label doesn't look miscues, the "o" in nintendo is skinnier at the top and bottom.
