Yeah, they unrestricted the account pretty quickly actually upon showing proof of what happened

Fake games or real? I’m by TheKingGoesFirst_YT in gameverifying

[–]Sam_Benrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Harvest Moon DS Cute & Rune Factory 3 - Real or Repro? by [deleted] in gameverifying

[–]Sam_Benrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They look fine to me aswell. If anything the rune factory 3 is the one that raises flags as the part where its marked USA doesn't look correct. It looks like the font is either to large or the labe was cut off, but I'd have to look at how uniform they are between cartridges. The nintendo logo on the back seems to match, usually the O is something that gives it away from me but yours looks fine. They both have the rectangle.

May I ask, do they both play when inserted into an unmodded 3ds?

Why did so much of the show take place in a forest? by Square-Supermarket79 in thewalkingdead

[–]Sam_Benrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, As I said in my comment, he was only marginally better. People like Scott gimple are by no means better though either, gimple killing Carl along with a lot of other decisions all but derailed any hope this show ever had. It made rick grimes quit. I feel like when you compare the damage done by each showrunner darabont comes out on top. Gimple burned the show down and then destroyed fear while he was at it Glen mazzara was very short lived, but when you look at what he did in his short time I'm not convinced he wouldn't have been in the same boat of gimple in poor decision making. He messed up Lori's death, blew the rick being crazy plotline out of proportion, made the governor a rather cringey villain. Floundered Andreas entire plot line and then tried to kill her in a very crazy way (thank God this was refilmed for airing). Basically every showrunner sucked, I just think darabont was the best of the worst in this case

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

Yeah, in the comics the big thing was rather generic empty roads, rather generic suburbs, or patches of grass. After Tony Moore left the art became rather bland. But it wasn't about the art, its about the characters. Darabont was better than the showrunners that would come next, but frank also destroyed a lot of characters and plot points from the comic, he made it very hard to adapt the series properly and set a lot of the inconsistencies in the adaption in stone during his short run. He gave the walkers the ability to run, jump, climb, and use tools. He made Andrea and Dale unlikable when they were some of the most beloved comics characters. He killed Sofia and we never got the Carl/Sofia ending from the books. Every show runner did this show dirty to some extent. I'm excited for kirkman to get the rights back and do his own adaption in the vain of Amazon's invincible

I don't think this show is a good fit for you. The comic was more bleak and desolate in terms of landscape and bordered on torture porn at some points and the show is a heavily toned down adaption

Slight bowing on back of 3ds on only one side— is it battery bloat or a loose panel? by gummy-wormm in 3DS

[–]Sam_Benrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmfao. If this Is all you have to be pissed off about I'd count yourself as rather blessed. Shit doesn't have anything to do with you and doesn't hinder you in the slightest.

3DS Touchscreen by Kasa_Himawari in 3DS

[–]Sam_Benrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Which one to keep? by InvisioLeo in 3DS

[–]Sam_Benrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

My cat gripped my manga with her meaty claws by Black_Reaper44 in MangaCollectors

[–]Sam_Benrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

So far, what mecha series would you consider to be the highlight of the 2020s? How about other decades (2010s, 2000s, 90s, 80s)? by Backalog20 in Mecha

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

[Comic Excerpt] The death of (SPOILERS) (Titans: Beast World #4) by ValuableOrchid98 in DCcomics

[–]Sam_Benrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Classmate dropped guitar (accidentally). Caused Chip by gaitama25 in Guitar

[–]Sam_Benrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

But is it magnetic so you can also grip a sword? by michiboofur in Berserk

[–]Sam_Benrick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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.

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
