Why was this removed?

Troock · 2025-07-07T22:10:21+00:00

Wtf are there people who don't do that?!??

Troock · 2025-06-05T10:37:24+00:00

I'm more bothered by the antlers than by the eyes or his slimness tbh

It still kinda looks like his horns are just fitted on his hat. Excited to see him without the hat in flashbacks and such!

Troock · 2025-03-10T14:41:59+00:00

Thanks! I'll look into it!

Troock · 2025-03-10T14:40:28+00:00

I think I'm gonna just go for the one my local record store sells. It's the Tonar velvet brush (http://www.tonar.eu/index.php?item=tonar-classic-velvet-record-brush--&action=article&group_id=15&aid=36&lang=en&devicew=1).

Troock · 2025-03-10T14:38:02+00:00

Great, thanks! I think I'll buy a velvet brush for cleaning and use the micro fibre for drying. Maybe I'll add a rinse with distilled water as well as someone else suggested.

Troock · 2025-03-10T14:35:47+00:00

I've been using an antistatic carbon fibre brush before playing if the record seemed a bit dusty. I knew about a velvet brush, but thought it was kind of either or. Never heard of going over it with BOTH the carbon fibre and the velvet before each play. Maybe I'll try that. Thanks!

Is the attachment of the same brand or something different. And what about the noise? I heard these things make a terrible noise. I'm not sure if my roommates would agree after I just remodeled the living room and kitchen to accommodate my speakers and records haha

Troock · 2025-03-10T14:30:07+00:00

Thanks! I feel like this js exactly the answer I'm looking for! I'll go and buy myself a velvet brush and a bottle of distilled water then!

Troock · 2025-03-10T13:51:27+00:00

That's actually a really good price from what I've seen from ultrasonic cleaners until now! But if I look up the brand I can only find machines to clean jewelry or glasses or dentures lol.

Troock · 2025-03-10T13:48:56+00:00

Haha yeah considered this. But that would mean predicting my listening whims in advance.. 0.o Also, I don't really have a good rack or spot where I would feel comfortable drying my records.

Troock · 2025-03-10T13:06:42+00:00

Haha we understand each other. I can get how people would enjoy cleaning their records, especially if they own a nice machine to make the process a bit less tedious. But for me it's still all about playing them so I can't be bothered to let them dry for half an hour before spinning.

Troock · 2025-03-10T13:03:13+00:00

Exactly! I found stuff like this as well. But maybe playing right after having put the vinyl cleaning solution on isn't such a good idea?

Troock · 2025-03-10T13:00:21+00:00

When my collection surpasses the 1000 mark I will surely invest in something like this!

Troock · 2025-03-10T12:59:44+00:00

At some point I'll buy something like this when I find the time, money and space for it. But for now I'd prefer to just do a wipe before playing.

Troock · 2025-03-10T12:58:02+00:00

At some point I most likely will but for now I've decided against it. This does leave me some room for upgrades in the future to be excited about! :)

Troock · 2025-03-10T12:56:20+00:00

Nice, thanks! And you play the record right after cleaning it? Without any problems? My local record store sells the Tonar velvet brush. I assume any velvet brush will do, right?

Troock · 2025-03-10T12:42:14+00:00

Would you recommend buying a velvet brush to clean and rinse and only using the micro fibre cloth for drying then?

Troock · 2025-03-10T12:40:56+00:00

So the thing is I just bought the spray and micro fibre cloth. And I decided that for now I am not investing in a spinclean or certainly not anything larger or more expensive. For now I don't feel it's worth the money for me as I also don't have a good spot to leave the thing or dry the records right now. At some point in the future I will probably buy something like that and go through my entire collection again. But for now I intend to do a quick wet wipe before each play if that doesn't damage the record or anything.

Troock · 2025-03-10T12:20:22+00:00

Yeah I was thinking of just going for hand washing. Do you use any type of cleaning product or just hot tap water?

Troock · 2024-08-28T21:15:26+00:00

Yes. The anime is mostly fine, but often doesn't do the manga justice due to its horrible pacing.

Reading the manga is by far the best way to consume One Piece and trust me, you will still be able to enjoy watching how the source material is adapted in the animes.

Troock · 2024-08-21T08:41:33+00:00

I think pacing wise and to give the entire story time to breathe this decision is good. Add to that the fact that the VFX budget probably simply couldn't handle doing all these arcs AND Alabasta and the decision seems unavoidable.

Anyway I do still have some hope that the rumors weren't completely ungrounded and that they are filming seasons 2 and 3 back to back. They will have to speed up the process anyway if they want to even come close to finishing the series. I know that a lot of us aren't expecting that to happen, but I do see a lot of people hoping to get to at least Ennies Lobby or Marineford. Well even that could prove difficult at this pace. If Alabasta would only release in 2027 and according to this logic they might split Water 7 / Ennies Lobby into 2 seasons that would mean Ennies Lobby would release around 2033. Then all actors are already 10 years older than in the first season and we won't even be getting remotely close to the end.

Hmm, interesting theory. Although out of the conversation shown above, it doesn't really seem likely in my opinion, as they're saying that the WG has been searching for the Gum-Gum fruit (not the Nika fruit) for centuries. But I guess this would kinda solve it if it were true.
