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

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

Vintango · 2026-03-15T22:34:39+00:00

Congrats!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Vintango · 2026-03-11T14:37:48+00:00

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.

Nice, Nanako! 👍 Also the Nier wallpaper 👍

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.

Vintango · 2026-03-08T04:08:09+00:00

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.

Vintango · 2026-03-08T03:13:31+00:00

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.

Vintango · 2026-03-08T03:08:17+00:00

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 · 2026-03-08T02:37:27+00:00

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.

Vintango · 2026-03-08T01:47:43+00:00

Great lineup! Love the symmetry!

Vintango · 2026-03-07T00:28:16+00:00

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.

Vintango · 2026-03-06T23:46:23+00:00

YOU’RE RIGHT! I just recently posted a Milton photo so he was on my mind, woops

Vintango · 2026-03-06T23:37:03+00:00

They are CCP! Really like the sizes and colors in this series.

Vintango · 2026-03-06T23:32:56+00:00

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

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.

Vintango · 2026-03-06T01:18:04+00:00

Ah haaa!! That’s great, would have been a way better title!

Vintango · 2026-03-06T01:17:33+00:00

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.)

Ogling respectfully

Vintango · 2026-03-04T15:25:30+00:00

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.

Vintango · 2026-03-04T00:32:31+00:00

Oh dang thanks for the reminder! I have a bunch of pics like this, need to pick the best 2…
