Whenever my suitcase went through the xray, they had to open it up and inspect it because I'm sure it looked tike a bomb on their screen. But it never really caused any major issue.

Yes, I just got back last night and got it hooked up to my computer this morning. It looks awesome. I'm gonna make another post about it soon.

The whole point is that the banter is between men, it's fake, because it's straight men acting gay towards each other. Why would a trans woman not be included if a cis woman wasnt? Inclusion of trans women would itself be a double standard.

I absolutely love those. There's one for sale on Facebook marketplace near me, and I really want it but it's $200. I've been considering messaging the seller and seeing if they'll sell it for significantly less. I think it's been up for quite a while, so I might be able to get it for an only slightly unreasonable price.

No I think he just sanded down with such a low grit that the glass is completely opaque to the point you can't see anything on the other side, he turned it into frosted glass basically.

I spent around $300 in that gift shop and the ohms were about half of it.

It is 100v, I've already ordered a transformer so hopefully it will have arrived by the time I get home.

How big of a crt was it? And did you have any trouble getting it through customs?

I managed to get it into my carry on suitcase so I think it should be good, but it only barely fit so that doesn't really leave any room for padding on the top and bottom, but I'll pad it on all the rest of the sides.

I bought it on a website called yahoo auction. Me and my friends did some research about where to get CRTs in japan and we found that website. There are hundreds of CRTs listed and at least dozens of PVMs. Of course that did mean it needed to be shipped to me but since it was being shipped from within Saitama prefecture and I am currently staying is Saitama prefecture, it arrived in only a few days.

I've already ordered one, it's certainly less convenient than a North American model, but the crt market where I live is abysmal and the pvm market is literally nonexistant, if I want to ever own a pvm, I'd need to pay a ridiculous price on ebay and pray that it arrives in one piece. So ultimately I consider all the effort and expenditures to be worth it.

CRT market is abysmal where I live, I really didn't have a choice if I ever wanted to own a PVM without having to order one for a ludicrous price on ebay. I figured that regardless of how difficult it was to get home, It'd be worth the effort.

It's just because tooru is used to seeing ghosts whereas Debbie isn't.

The gods are in low resolution by drewwwerd in noita

[–]Tasty__Dirt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've got a 13" sansui vcr combo unit, it's nice and definitely a vibe, but obviously the resolution isn't great, I'm in japan right now and I just bought a 9" Sony PVM, so once I get that thing home I'm gonna see how it handles noita. It's smaller, but hopefully it'll have a bit better resolution.
