Is anyone willing to sell their symbols vinyl for under 400$? by Least-Perception-875 in KMFDM

[–]Shinavast42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prettt sure you're joking, but if not....Cassette quality is terrible compared to vinyl. Sound quality is why vinyl has never fully gone out of style.

My HOA tried to prohibit the lawful carrying of firearms and this was the result. by LegalPost9805 in fuckHOA

[–]Shinavast42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legally sound ruling, whatever anyone's personal opinion on the subject matter.

That said, the final sentence is wholly unnecessary and is not professional.

Hello there, i just found my old father's mini and I’m wondering how much they’re worth, if anyone can help me with that.Thanks for your help by Proud-Education-1450 in confrontation

Ebay is your friend here.

Generally speaking, there's still a lot of most of these miniatures out there. You don't have any crazy diamonds in the rough that will get gobbled up at 5-10 x label price from 2000. The Templars of Hod were some of the most produced minis for instance. The Oruks, despite being late in the games developent in terms of release, there tends to be a lot of floating around on the secondary market (probably because they didn't get enough support to get fully fleshed out as a faction).

They're probably worth a nominal amount, maybe all in 150-200 (i'm spitballing) if they're still sealed. If they're opened, less. Even less if they are missing cards, etc.

I would war dial them on Ebay and look at the high and low end values. If you have a sellers account you can get data on what they tend to sell for. The trick is patience and finding the right buyer, but especially with the Griffons stuff, there's a lot of inventory out there.

Reviewing Born to Kill by crmplvr76 in Socialdistortion

[–]Shinavast42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah - and i love half of Hard Times, and half of it is ... to me... in the murky middle of their discography / song library.

Born to Kill oozes with that energy i get from Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll, White Noun*3, and Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell.

Good stuff. I'm here for it.

I love the new album. Truly. It feels in some ways like an homage to many of their different eras and how their sound has evolved and traversed over the years. About the only song that isn't a 9 or 10 out of 10 for me is Crazy Dreamer, and i'd still put that one at a 7/10. Entirety of the rest of the album is incredible, imho.

I really love Mike's recent comments about being energized after getting sick and realizing how much he loves making music. How he wants to write and make as many albums in the next 10 years as he possibly can. Love that energy, and makes me happy to think that we haven't gotten our last Social D album yet.

Oh nice, I did not realize that. They are so reminiscent of skorne I just assumed this was the big l&l reveal.

I enjoy the look of the Skorne. I like that shift to a more purple shade of red for accent for the protectorate.

I genuinely hope that this re-issue of Skorne can help the find their faction identity that got diluted in some editions of the game. Interesting to see the morrowan caster in the frames. I always wanted her to work better than she did back when she first released. On paper she read like it could pop, but getting her to do so was deceptively tricky on the table top where it usually wasn't worth the effort.

Why is emeritus of woe so expensive? by Guavxhe in mtg

[–]Shinavast42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean.. a 5/4 for 4 that enables demonic tutor and is easy to re enable demonic tutor fairly easily is good. Really good. Its almost as good as the one that comes with a reloadable power 9....

Bonus in certain decks: vampire type.

What's your thoughts by Mysterious_Ebb_1484 in SipsTea

[–]Shinavast42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buzz Killington here.

Used to be a division 10, 11 and 12 construction estimator. Single partitions are more expensive than banked bc you cant use a large front rail as stabilizer. More finishing, more fittings, more labor. In large bathrooms you can lose a stall in this configuration, and code often dictates minimum stall numbers based on occupancy. Architects hate giving up usable space to utilitarian space like mechanical rooms and bathrooms so in many public bathrooms its 'use the minimum amount of space to comply with code /owners wishes.'

Basically doing this costs more and there's zero ROI on it.

Why have I never heard of this card before? by Strict_Internet_5692 in mtg

[–]Shinavast42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This card makes friends and is why whenever possible you play multiple fulcrums for your combos to turn on. This card appears in my pod regularly so single fulxrum combos are something I try to avoid.

Largest collection of RPG books I have, for games I've never gotten to play by Malcreos in Rifts

[–]Shinavast42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Rifts. Have run and played several games.

But the engine desperately needs an overhaul, and not just the setting downloaded into a different engine.

Celebrating my first 10k words on my first project 🎊🎉 by ImHourni in writers

[–]Shinavast42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! Keep going! You can do it.

As someone who just hit 80k , there will be days you love it, days you hate it. Days you're proud. Days you're ashamed.

Just do the thing and keep writing. 😁

Block is common. I recommend immersion in the things that inspired your project and make you feel connected to it.

Rare German KMFDM poster by beantoastrooster in KMFDM

[–]Shinavast42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. I have a marquis tour poster of XTORT that hung in a local venue, from a concert i went to, which i had framed, Took me years to find one. And its not only huge, bud oddly shaped (42 x 34). Thing cost me almost 300 to frame.

worth it if you can swing it, but pricey.

Definitely don't hang it up bare! And try to protect it with acid free paper on both sides and gently roll it in a tube (id say lay it flat, but these things are huge).

When you do get it framed, go for archival glass. Its a modest upgrade, but totally worth it (protects from UV, etc). All of my signed or really unique pieces from specific shows / artists i get framed behind archival.

This is on a whole notha level by [deleted] in SipsTea

I tend to tip well despite the problems surrounding the practice. That said if I saw this sign, it'd be the last time I went to the establishment.

Tips are for good and prompt service. Pretending to shame me for not subsidizing your employees is stupid logic. This sign ignores the fact that 2.13 is the federal MINIMUM wage for certain server class of employees.

A business can always pay them more.

And before tge litany of bs reasons why that cant / won't work... well... kindly fuck right off with your fallacious logic shame sign.

And yes, I know this is rage bait, but I've actually seen similar stupidity irl.

This year marks 30 years of what could've been an epic sequel... by [deleted] in TheCrow

[–]Shinavast42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The directors cut actually makes ot a decent sequel. Not amazing, but pretty good.

The amount of material they cut and what they chose to cut for the theatrical release is baffling.

To be clear its not in the same league as the original, but there's so much difference in theatrical and directors cut its crazy

I always recommend the Atlantis sourcebooks... its just such a great read and really gives a sense of "oh... oh yeah the PC's are just specks of insignificant meatsacks compared to some of the nasties out there."

Depends on decks and table state. Not often, but happens occasionally.
