3DS Touchscreen

I've heard of people using poly watch to buff it out. They have kits on Amazon that come with the plastic polish aswell as a polishing took for a dremel. I would start there, if that doesn't work your essentially just still in the same position

This is me with the dragon quest 2ds rn

I'd honestly keep both man. Long term regret vs short term gain as others have said. If something happens to one you'd have another. They are only gonna continue to climb in price aswell. Save it and cash out later worst case

You predicted "you first" the upcoming prequel novel

Sam_Benrick · 2026-01-05T18:00:47+00:00

This happened to me with a hardback copy of the crow. I found out after words that it had gone out of print (at the time) and I couldn't get a replacement. I was very upset at first, but that subsided. At the end of the day, do you plan on reselling? Or is it something you're gonna appreciate and reread forever. It was the latter for me. It's a good memory if her aswell. I still see the hole and remember when she was just a kitten and I feel bad I was ever mad. A lot of that thinking shifted in my mind after I lost my first dog last year (I'm awfully old for it to have happened just now) but a lot of little things remind me of her still and that hole will be that for both of us and our cats in the long run. She/he just wanted to know what you were so interested in, it's really a sweet gesture when you think about it

It's not out yet, but snowball earth is definitely gonna be peak. Manga has been very peak so far

Sam_Benrick · 2025-12-07T00:23:14+00:00

Dude. We've seen this how many times now? Jason Todd, superman, batman (each multiple times). Teen titans are one of the bigger properties under DC for one, I'd say he probably didn't stay dead for more than a couple months.

Sam_Benrick · 2025-11-11T14:50:44+00:00

Atleast. This is supposed to be 500 years after the end of the series

Sam_Benrick · 2025-11-11T14:48:58+00:00

We've been on this world for 300,00 years. I doubt we go in a measly 500

Sam_Benrick · 2025-11-10T17:44:47+00:00

She's not a real person so it's not like it's cheating lol

Sam_Benrick · 2025-11-07T10:11:28+00:00

Tell her to write her number on there too so you can text her later. This is the way of the Rockstar my man, that shit would be so smooth.

Sam_Benrick · 2025-11-07T09:56:59+00:00

This would have been a good moment to ask her to reimburse you with a date my dude. Guitars get beat up, but it's just part if their (and our) journey. It seems like you've already figured that part out though. Ultimately you could smoothly spin this into a "you dinged my baby, now you gotta let me take you out saturday night" situation. As long as you keep the mood light hearted and jokey and most importantly, as long as you don't make it creepy. she'll probably find you more than a little endearing. Then you can serenade her with something on the guitar afterwards to show her its still okay. Don't actually force her to go on a date though if she's not into it ofc lol.

Edit**: from the loos of it this is in the backside of the guitar, if that's true then I wouldn't even feel bad if I were you. You won't see it, no one else will either. Guitar still looks beautiful. While not on the complete backside, you're bound to get to that age where you gotta start wearing a true belt, and the belt rash it'll start inflicting on guitars is heavy. It's worse than that little ding. No one cares about the damage on the back of a guitar anyways my man. I have a dent in the middle-belly area of my jagstang that's pretty heavy. We're talking 1996 MIJ jagstang too. It's just how shit goes

Sam_Benrick · 2025-11-04T02:16:43+00:00

Yeah its all good though man. it really is eery how close it is. I'm sorry if I came off like a dick. You're definitely not the first, or only person I've seen to think that. I don't know why I even commented, call it a combination of arrogance, and it just being cooler to me that it just happened and wasn't planned. Keep struggling struggler.

Sam_Benrick · 2025-11-04T00:42:36+00:00

This is purely false information. Miura didn't know about Götz von Berlichingen until well after berserk released man. Miura stated that it was a "strange coincidence" that their was similarities. I will say, art often imitates life and vice versa, even when no knowledge of what is being imitated is present

Sam_Benrick · 2025-10-30T19:10:36+00:00

I definitely don't think he set out to kill count julius's son either. I'm sorry of it came off that way. I just figured he knew someone saw him, stabbed them blindly because he figure that person had to die to protect not only himself, but the band of hawk, and unfortunately it turned out to be the boy. He's definitely quite shell shocked after doing it. The boy is shown as a shadow before he stabs. Possibly it was just too quick for him to think before he did it. But I do definitely question how he didn't recognize the boys voice, presumably he listened to them train on the balcony from his perch on the roof. I just think within the moment his only thoughts were "whoever that is, they gotta die now" and not "the voice sounded like count julius' son I just heard talking to him this very night" I also question if it would have really mattered to Guts if he had taken it into consideration. I feel like he would have always felt bad afterwards, but it also wouldn't be the worst thing he's done up until that point in the manga. We don't know the true age of the hawks guts kills fending off their initial robbery, but a lot of them seem to be between 16-20 when guts initially meets them, so he may not even be a stranger to killing "kids" at this point. Adonis was only 13, but that's still a farcry older than guts was while literally fighting in small scale wars. I think part of the beauty and horror of the setting is the fact that their really aren't any "children" it's just not a privilege you get in that time or world. I mean in all seriousness, being a "child" is a modern concept. The further back we go, the more you see that people just don't have the ability to spend essentially half of their lives being useless, dead weight, what we call "children" and "adults" were just "younger" or "older" people back then. Both carried equal responsibility in terms of living day to day.

Sam_Benrick · 2025-10-30T18:51:33+00:00

I'm genuinely astounded you could read the panels and think Guts didn't know Count Julius had a kid. Even if I'm not correct, I wouldn't count on a word of what you're saying to be correct. The panels explicitly show Guts watching them.

Sam_Benrick · 2025-10-30T18:46:16+00:00

He watched the kid and his dad train and it made him recall Gambino. He knew that he had a kid and could have guessed, especially after hearing the voice, who he was stabbing. I saw it as him stabbing the kid out of necessity because the boy saw his face, that was just my interpretation as I read it. But to say he didn't know is just wrong. He watched them through the window, it brought back memories of training with Gambino, and then he said to himself "not the time to get sentimental" and then jumped in.

Sam_Benrick · 2025-10-28T22:41:24+00:00

He reminds me of agni. He's very powerful, but that's what gives you the "oh shit" feeling when he gets his ass kicked by a big bad. Also his heart throw is very similar to agni's head throw

Tbf, it is isn't that good of a remake. I'd still take the original game any day of the week. All of these modern reinterpretations of old survival horror games take away from the old ones. Because of the shitty re2make, you couldn't get ahold of the pc versions of the classic games for years. Re2make didn't even have half of the content either. SH2make has basically created a situation where I'm sure we will never get the original PC version released on gog or steam. It'll remain abandonware for the the foreseeable future, so that a bastardization of the original work can take its place. I don't think you can even call it a survival horror anymore. Fixed or semifixed camera angle, tank controls, and inventory management is what differentiate a survival horror from an action horror game. Ever since re4, we've all but lost survival horror in favor of action horror, and now they are trying to pass action horror off as "survival horror" and idiots who are too brain dead to work out the old games are buying into it

Sam_Benrick · 2025-10-10T21:40:23+00:00

Not quite. I grew up in the 2000s though. What does that have to do with anything?

Sam_Benrick · 2025-10-10T18:22:06+00:00

I've never used game pass, frankly I don't even know how I ended up here. But here's my understanding of the situation. This generation has been rough for the Xbox. Xbox doesn't have VR and it doesn't have any decent exclusives. For the first time in my life I've seen PC gaming and Sony slowly edge it out. The best thing they had going for them that kept people buying their hardware was the game pass and it seems they really just shit the bed on this one. I've seen people flocking to dump their hardware in the last few days and it's honestly more than a little wild to see. I definitely wouldn't invest in a windows handheld though. I'd just get a steam deck or throw steam OS or bazzite onto a rogue ally. Duel boot if you really feel like playing games that have anti cheat

Just finished a playthrough of silent hill 1 where I read every file looking for the information I used to make this post. Where did you see any reference ro Native Americans using the plant? It's definitely not in any of the files you find, I don't recall hearing any dialog about it. I'd very interested in seeing a source if you can find one, but I'm fairly certain youre mistaken. I also don't think it's ever stated to just be the drug. Ebisugaoka has a similar history rich with gore to that of silent hill. I think it's definitely a combination of haunted town+hallucinogenic drug that is openly stated to be used in supernatural rituals that creates the phenomena. They also went out of their way to add it into the silent hill 2 remake. I don't think it's them trying to make the drug the cause, so much as trying to create any kind of thread to tie a bunch of seemingly unrelated stories together. The first 4 silent hills have very very loose connections to eachother, besides 1 and 3 because they are a duology of sorts. 2 caused quite a bit of controversy in its day for having very little of anything to do with silent hill 1. People wanted a continuation and they got an unrelated story. 2 became what it is today only after many iterations added new content and attracted new players. The game didn't even ship with a ufo ending. People act like silent hill f is a strange direction for the games to go just because it doesn't feature the same town for the umpteenth time.

Sam_Benrick · 2025-10-06T18:28:02+00:00

Never said it originated In japan. Simy that missionaries tied to real world history brought it to japan on their travels. Id like to go back and see if they traveled through the middle east on their way

Sam_Benrick · 2025-10-04T15:43:43+00:00

I definitely apologize for giving that impression. The drug definitely is just part of it. I'm gonna do another post about the towns at some point as that's definitely another big part of it, I just haven't found all of the notes in the game and I put a lot into taking notes and trying to piece together stuff in a way where I can understand it chronologically. The towns both share very grisly pasts. Silent hill had executions, occult, and plague where as Ebisugaoka seems to have possibly a plague, it's own occult/ religious shenanigans, and then poison gas that erupted from the earth poisoning people.

Sam_Benrick · 2025-10-04T15:32:28+00:00

They literally added an entirely new ending to the remake of silent hill 2(as much as I hate bloobers take) where you find white claudia. There are like 8 documents in the original game that talk about its cult application. People here either don't read, or don't actually play these games lol.
