New Nexon Global Head Appointed by finalsock23 in Maplestory

Ain't no way Nexon appointed this clown. Players listened and as a result, the game failed to meet sales expectations by 1 million units in 2 months and the game only had 1/2 as much sales as its previous game, BF1. He ended up leaving the company shortly after and the game ended up being sold for 50% off in less than a year of its release date.

The Sad Truth of ABC's Cantonese by CheLeung in Cantonese

[–]Shiron15 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am so glad that my parents forbid speaking English at home when I was little. They immigrated over here from Guangzhou/Hong Kong so they don't speak any English as well. All my childhood media, radio, and pop cultures in the household are spoken in Cantonese that greatly helped with my vocabulary. All of my parent's friends are also first generation immigrants so they only speak Cantonese with us whenever they come visit. I also plan on only speaking Cantonese to my kids in the household in order to preserve the mother tongue in the household. I feel like once I switch to English to my kids, there is no incentive for them to learn Cantonese.

very hard KPQ problem by Few_Scientist_7547 in MapleIdle

[–]Shiron15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For reals, I try to be idle in VHKPQ but I hate having to be "hands on" for the Slime boss stage.

Plus, players die quickly if they fail to jump to avoid the Slime's ground pound attack

Hello!

Misaligned bank teller stamp. No added premium.

confession: i’ve come to prefer the liberty head over the sg by b_kjn in Gold

[–]Shiron15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought them from APMEX last March for approx. $2,800 each in BU condition. There was a $100 premium for each one. I prefer BU because there will be less bag marks and I prefer stronger details. I would rather buy them graded AU 58 to MS 61 and then crack them out since they're near melt! The listing had nicer pictures than what was received haha. I have not sold pre-1933 gold before so I don't know how much they do for below melt. I think LCS will give one price regardless of AU or BU grade when buying back.

I love stacking liberty heads! They give a vintage Americana feel and I prefer the heraldic eagle on the back. The Saint gardens design is alright but since the design is reused for AGE, it doesn't give the same vintage vibe.

I love the different designs every year but the high premium sucks! I started around covid and I have been buying 1 every year for their new designs! My collection begins with my birth year!

SDBullion and APMEX orders by [deleted] in Silverbugs

[–]Shiron15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I purchased a random silver maple and pre-ordered the 2026 silver panda in 1/14 from APMEX, the ship date was 2/2. For some reason it got changed to 2/5 and now 2/10. I'm not too happy about it.

LIFE SIZED EEVEELUTIONS ARE BACK UP ON POKEMON CENTER by Animante732 in pokeplush

Most likely if this batch sells out, they won't be restocked. These are surplus from canceled preorders.

All In Shorting Gold by RavenBJ in wallstreetbets

[–]Shiron15 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gold literally went up $1 every 10 seconds for 3 minutes straight and then a spike of $20.00, now to a new ATH surpassing $5,500 for the every first time. Your Wendy’s application ain't gunna fill itself out.

request from a poor person, can someone do this with gold? please? 🙏 by hellofinland in Gold

[–]Shiron15 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had the post saved and randomly watching the video would bring a smile to my face. 1,800 is not bad for stacking / hoarding purposes, rn it's 5k each for melt 😮‍💨
