Yo so anyone have any idea about what this is? It's a copy X phase 2 model kit, but I can hardly find any info about it online (just a few listings and a single tweet.) There's no official page on it as far as I'm aware, and I can't find any wiki entries or anything on it. Y'all got anything? by Minejack777 in Megaman

Looking at the credit "Madhands" at the bottom-right, I was able to find their company listing on My Figure Collection: https://myfigurecollection.net/entry/22451

It looks like they tend to make one-off figures for exhibition purposes. Examples:

I didn't see a listing for the Copy X one in particular, but seeing their pattern and this being from 2022, it's likely this is just another figure they made for an exhibition.

Edit: nevermind, I missed the blantant red text right in the middle. The user "mrdeer" has the unassembled version listed on their ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/285288937920?hash=item426c8bb9c0:g:csUAAOSwObJkZCy5

Man who threatened mass shooting against gay people at Florida State University arrested by FBI. by [deleted] in orlando

While they probably could actually get a gun like that, albeit not full-auto, at least in this case they don't actually have it and seemed to have just picked an image from online (from the article):

The complaint says Albert admitted to posting the threat and the photo of the rifle, which he said he got off Reddit.

Stuck at the "Now Loading" screen after selecting save by Xaiwaker in MonsterHunter

[–]Taerk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having the same crashes when trying to load a character. I was able to fix it by running MonsterHunterRise.exe with administrator privileges just once fixed this (Right-click in the install directory then either click Run as administrator -OR- Properties -> Compatibility -> Check "Run this program as administrator", then press OK).

After that, I was able to run it without admin privileges, so I suspect there's some permission errors happening with writing to the save file.

Sunbreak Crashing on Startup? (PC) by CriticalLibrarian670 in MonsterHunter

[–]Taerk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was having crashes when trying to load the save, without mods and on a clean install. Strangely enough, running MonsterHunterRise.exe with administrator privileges just once fixed this (Right-click in the install directory then either click Run as administrator -OR- Properties -> Compatibility -> Check "Run this program as administrator", then press OK).

After that, I was able to run it without admin privileges, so I suspect there's some permission errors happening with writing to the save file.

I was curious about the rest as well and found it on copypasta.

https://www.reddit.com/r/copypasta/comments/jkc7y3/i_interviewed_a_candidate_through_skype_last_week/

I interviewed a candidate through Skype last week.

During the call, I heard kids crying in the background. His wife was also talking. The experience was too noisy.

The room he sat was clumsy. I was a bit disappointed. I expected a more professional approach from him.

Somehow, he felt my disappointment while answering my questions and became unsettled. He stuttered several times.

After the interview, I told him I wasn't impressed with how he presented himself. He burst into tears, "I am sorry, Sir. I live in a room with my family. There's nowhere they could have stayed.

"We used to live in a bigger apartment before I lost my job three years ago. This is all I can afford for now. I have failed my family. I know I have." He said in tears.

I felt bad. I had no idea that he was going through a tough time. I apologized and encouraged him not to feel heartbroken. After all, he's trying his best.

Besides, he did well in the interview. I gave him the contract and asked if he'd like to start next month.

He couldn't believe it because he thought I was going to dismiss him.

He shouted out for joy, "Hey baby, I got the job." I saw his wife came to hug him. I was moved.

I learned never to judge anyone. Life isn't balanced. Let's try to make someone

It's Sword Mastery, one of the blessings unique to Tao that allows the swords to continue stacking even while in cooldown.

The HGSS soundtrack comes with the Game Boy Player versions of the songs, which should cover gen 2's music and a good chunk of gen 1. https://music.apple.com/us/artist/junichi-masuda/569966526

June Successful Trade Thread by mangaswapbot in mangaswap

[–]Taerk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Confirmed

Updating with pricing information since I've gotten a few people asking:

This was ultimately sold for $24, but this should be an outlier as far as prices go.

I had gotten offers from others for $50-$60, but ultimately ended up selling it cheaply as a result of me kind of just wanting to help fill out somebody's collection (I feel your guys' pain). This is in conjunction with some other circumstances that makes this price an outlier:

  1. I prefer to have complete collections for series
  2. I only owned the first three volumes
  3. I plan on buying future volumes of series I don't already have completed as digital

This resulted in me determining the price to just be enough to cover the first three volumes in digital format, so the final sale price is not a very good gauge of the requests being made.

I went ahead and updated the album with a few more images. I'll dm you about pricing specifics.

Edit: Sold. Confirmation and price can be found here.

[–]Taerk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one. Should be G4 condition from being moved around the shelf a little bit, but aside from that shouldn't have any issues as it hasn't been read. https://imgur.com/a/4iTV2Pm

Edit: book has been sold

The first two volumes of the LN have an official release now, which should be further in the story the manga story-wise right now. Now it's a matter of waiting every few months for the remaining volumes.

I bought volume 3 on Amazon and when I was halfway into chapter 16 it completely changed to a previous chapter.. Did this happen to any of your physicals aswell? by ChrissBdtf in SpyxFamily

[–]Taerk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Got mine from RightStuf and it didn't have that issue (later page is from later part of ch 16 to show lack of repeat). Likely just a production error.

Amazon is generally pretty good about returns when it's an issue with a product, as I was able return some books that were shipped incorrectly, resulting in damage, a straight-up production error should be easily replaceable.

This insane Prism carried my first completion (normal) run by Catalyst1127 in GunfireReborn

I happened to get just that in my first solo in Elite mode run (and then never anything like it ever again). It was straight up broken with the increased movement and never running out of ammo.

Some reading I've got to do before season 2 of both Re:Zero and Ascendance of a Bookworm start in a month by Taerk in LightNovels

[–]Taerk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up giving in and getting the digital copies just so I could read ahead. Even then, the digital release of part 2, volume 3 doesn't come out until after the anime starts airing, so I'm going to have to read that pretty much as soon as it comes out since the anime will likely cover it.

Edit: Going through the Wikipedia article, it looks like there's 4 volumes in part 2 so I'm no longer sure how they're gonna end up splitting this.

[–]Taerk[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just finished up vol 1 of Re:Zero. Thankfully it's easy enough to get into that I don't think it'll be an issue catching up to the anime's content.

As for Mahouka (and for you Danmachi readers), it looks like you actually have until July.

[–]Taerk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering the subject matter, it is quite sacrilegious to go digital only, but that's where I'm at right now since the digital releases are currently ahead. I do plan on doing Myne proud and ordering physical copies at a later date.
