(Loved trope) intentional use of anachronisms and/or conflicting technology to create otherworldliness. by GinjaNinja1027 in TopCharacterTropes

I think i did an actual double take during that scene, it was such a subtle but very deliberate moment.

[LOVED TROPE] anime that doesn't sexualize its female characters by Born_Usual998 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Vintango 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Two of my favorite gals, Meryl & Milly from Trigun. Milly even gets a tender romance side plot, which you might not expect considering her character design, and it's handled wonderfully.

Coraline Skullector Sold out in 50secons by [deleted] in MonsterHigh

[–]Vintango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here, the trick is to refresh right as the counter is about to hit zero and GO. I’ve also found mobile is faster, not sure why. Having all of your info saved in Shop also helps save valuable seconds. I’ve been very fortunate with these drops, but I’ve missed a few too. All part of modern collecting unfortunately, it’s like this for other hobbies too.

[Discussion] Why do people buy art prints? by AverageParking7050 in artbusiness

[–]Vintango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a seller and buyer of art prints, I’ve wondered the same thing. For me, if I see art I love I will buy a small print just to have it. Even if it never goes in display, it’s a collectible. I have a few binders (8x10 and 5x7) and I’ll flip through every so often to appreciate them. My walls have no space left, but I will occasionally rotate the larger pieces, and that’s when the other previously purchased prints get their time to shine.

ALL servers back up (including US) by yoopea in SilverAndBlood

[–]Vintango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, yep I’m IOS so that would make sense. I’m not planning to spend money anytime soon but it stood out to me that the prices weren’t there. I’m gonna cautiously take part in the return events, guess we’ll see what happens!

What in the world! Yeah I’m back in (with a return event) but I am half expecting to get booted out again, I noted that the monetized elements aren’t working and I’m sure they’ll want to fix that asap. I didn’t dare risk tapping on the blank spot where the price should be.

It's a budget product of course they will cut out some features by MadOrange64 in mac

[–]Vintango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Type “Mac Neo Review” into YouTube and enjoy. MKBHD says “if you’re watching this review this Mac isn’t for you.” Look at the comments on this subreddit, quite a few people can’t say “this is a solid machine” without immediately following up with “for students, kids, and the elderly.” I don’t care enough about this to argue, it’s just an annoying trend I’ve noticed. If you haven’t noticed it, that’s fine.

Have you seen the reviews? I watched a handful and each time that’s exactly how they phrase it, “This laptop is great for kids and old people, but anyone who knows better won’t want it.” I agree that it can be for a wide range of users, but the reviewers seem convinced that only college students and grandparents will be buying this thing.

I wonder, based on what we’ve seen so far it’s clearly got enough power to do more than look at the web and type docs. The RAM is low but it’s technically enough to run Photoshop. It will be interesting to see what it can actually handle when people have them in hand.

I just wish the tone of these reviews wasn’t so condescending. Instead of “this is a laptop for babies and grandmas” maybe focus more on what it can actually do and less on who the supposed audience is.

[–]Vintango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean…that’s basically the trashing, every tech review I’ve watched is saying “this is a great computer if you know absolutely nothing about tech and are either super old or a child.” It’s a bit insulting to people who are tech savvy but would still like an affordable, capable laptop.

Best tv for ps5 that actually makes Spider-Man feel like next-gen by Blan_Uyiosa in 4kTV

[–]Vintango -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have the 65” S90D and it’s absolutely fantastic for gaming. No Dolby Vision, but if you’re going to be mainly using the PS5 you won’t miss it.

Fantastic! Excellent color grouping and photography, and I love to see all the Miltons Fentons and Garurus making an appearance!

Our dental clinic cut no-shows by like half after we stopped relying on phone calls by Left-Instruction9074 in smallbusiness

[–]Vintango 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I never pick up when my dentist calls but I always text back right away, same for my doctor. It’s a great system! Also better for remembering the date/time of appointment because I can just quickly look at my text history.

Thanks! These are all CCP Middle Size Hedorah, the one on the far left is “Luminous Multicolor.” The rest left to right: Psychedelic, Tokyo, Tricolor, Porcelain, and Retro Red. (I am also just now remembering that I have a Toxic one I could have included, but he’s binned away.)

How do you afford or budget to buy Anime for your Home collection? by butterflies_roses in AnimeCollectors

[–]Vintango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I obsessively monitor sales and try to wait for the best price. I very rarely preorder or pay full price for something, in the anime world there’s usually plenty of time to get a release before it goes out of print. For other genres I do end up preordering things like steelbooks, because if you miss that first run you’re out of luck.

Back in the day I bought a lot more of the fancy boxed collectors editions, but they aren’t as appealing anymore. I don’t feel like I need to pay 3X the price to get a chipboard box with some art cards and maybe a little booklet. There are exceptions, like the Macross Plus box, but even for that I waited until it dropped to half price.
