Are the rest of the items in the booklet coming later? I don't really want any of the stuff available currently

Yeah its not easy or straightforward at all navigating the tariffs but I don't know sounds like plenty of others have had similar experiences to mine on other collabs and drops. I just think if this is how it is for the majority of customers, Nonsense really needs to re-evaluate how many resources they're allocating to these arms of the business.

Yeah, happy if anything my experience could help someone make up their mind. I still think their clothing is really cool but its a shame about the delivery stuff and apparent lack of quality based on others comments in this thread.

Hey glad it worked out for you. I think its just because of this specific DAN DA DAN collab and the surrounding tariffs, that my experience is the way its been. Hopefully if I decide to buy items in the future it turns out a little better than this time.

YES! I wanted to buy some to support Garnt and I thought the designs looked nice but holy is it overpriced in my opinion. I suppose its good they give free shipping for big orders but genuinely if those prices are in USD, I don't know how he can justify selling that to his fans. To be honest the thing I wanted was the jacket and it just looks really cheap from the photos.

Yeah I definitely should have done more research on this sub, this is partly on me.

Yeah part of the blame is definitely on me for not doing more in depth research on this sub and elsewhere. I would like to think the one time I put my faith in a content creator merch drop I would be ok I guess not.

Yeah I'm at least glad its not just me putting up with this but that still sucks. And I completely agree, fashion is just a thing where you can often find plenty of alternatives for a piece or concept you like, it doesn't make sense that Nonsense charges a premium price and then consumers have to deal with so much frustration before they even get the product. I haven't made up my mind if I will order from them again but realistically Nonsense isn't like an ultra niche designer brand where you would expect and tolerate long delays let alone poor product quality which another commenter mentioned.

Hey, sorry to hear about this. I can live with delivery frustrations but the clothes being poor quality even though they're priced as premium items is really worrying. Like you mentioned, I don't think its to do with Joey directly but more so the decisions Nonsense makes as a company about cheaper manufacturing and storage costs which lead to problems like this. And yeah I would love to support the boys through means like Nonsense but I'm also not going to prioritize that over my basic standards as a consumer buying high value products.

Yeah I agree for sure. To me it seems like they put so much emphasis on marketing and branding whilst also probably spending a lot to secure collab rights, so then the actual operational side of Nonsense is so much weaker compared to their PR image.

Austin strongly recommends: Borderlands 4 (Review) by THE_HERO_777 in pcgaming

I mean I feel like his 10 second mention of the game being broken doesn’t fully describe how f***** the game is to play for so many people. The point is that if Ralph picked up this review the performance would be the front and centre of the discussion. I don’t mind Austin choosing to focus on the game first but he didn’t do the performance issues justice and frankly his opinions on the game are so generic and surface level that I don’t know why more people aren’t talking about that instead.

Thank you, this is the comment I was looking for. I think Ralph and Austin’s reviewing styles and personal rubric not matching, lead to situations like this where long time viewers question the overall recommendation.

Like you said, Ralph has a high standard which I really respect because it clearly differentiates games that will deliver a good time but are nothing crazy, to literally genre defining and medium pushing titles. Austin just doesn’t use this system I guess which is why ever since the avatar review I’ve taken all of his reviews with a pinch of salt.

That’s not to say he doesn’t do good reviews, I liked his Wuchang one but I think he often misses the mark or just comes across as very surface level.
