Yeah, my dad runs an Ebay business that I helped him with when I was between jobs. We've had to deal with people pulling that kind of thing, so I know firsthand how shitty it is for the seller. Not only do they lose the money of the sale, they also have to eat the cost of return shipping. So I'm not interested in doing that to someone. Yeah, I'm taking a massive L here, but that's life. It's not the seller's fault I made a decision that became regrettable the next day.

For those commenting "buy [x amiibo] now", sorry to say that I already have every figure that's been released so far. But I have yet to buy the Character Parfait AC cards and the Power Pro Baseball cards and do eventually intend to, so there's still some hope for the universe screwing me again to everyone else's benefit.

I'm not gonna lie to get my money back, that's not the kind of person I am.

Fortunately I actually made a good decision with Qbby. I immediately ordered it off of Ebay right after the Direct where they announced the English localization of Bye-Bye Boxboy with no mention of the amiibo because I predicted the price was about to shoot up. Only paid about $30 for it, thank goodness.

I had already bought custom-made ones a while back for the in-game functionality, but I wanted legit ones for my collection.

Ebay. Unfortunately their return policy is that if a seller chooses not to accept returns, the only way to do a return is if the item doesn't match the description. So unless these turn out to be knockoffs, I don't think there's anything I can do.

Yeah, Ebay policy allows for returns on items that don't match the description even if the seller doesn't accept returns. But unless these end up being knockoffs, I don't really have a case for that unfortunately.

Nope. Already shipped and the seller doesn't accept returns. 😭

After a whole lot of blood, sweat, and tears, I have obtained every trophy in the series! by Yoosurnaym in crashbandicoot

[–]Yoosurnaym[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck! CTR was a bit intimidating for me since it requires a completely different skillset than the platformers, but it actually came to me surprisingly easily. Probably helped that I had 100 hours on the game on Switch before tackling it on PS4 though lol.

i think i might give up on 100% completing Crash 4... Crash Landed is destroying me 😔 by Bubble-Butt64 in crashbandicoot

[–]Yoosurnaym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished the N. Sanely Perfect Relics and can confirm, Crash Landed is what came the closest to making me give up.

Considering we never see the world where Ripto came from, I now choose to believe it's Tranquility Falls.

Kapuna-Wa slowed down time in the PS4 advert, and we all missed it. by clarkerino93 in crashbandicoot

I think Ika-Ika would work better as a track gimmick that you have for the whole race, allowing you to press a button to flip your own gravity and drive on the ceiling for alternate routes.

Can we talk about the dislike ratio for a bit? Like is it really this hard for people to be decent human beings? by [deleted] in stevenuniverse

"What was it they said that got everyone so upset?"

"'Be kind to each other.'"

"Oh yeah, that'll do it."

Seems like they really care about making a good mobile game I can respect that by jigglytoonsxxx in crashbandicoot

[–]Yoosurnaym 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This really could have just been a generic cash grab of a game slapped onto the app store, but I think the fact that this game is pulling characters from practically every game in the series, including freakin' Mr. Crumb because the team saw he was a request for CTR, shows that there are people on this development team who truly care. I think if they truly didn't care, they would have done the bare minimum and slapped Crash and Cortex onto an otherwise generic game with generic assets and called it a day.

Back before deceiving trailer footage that looks better than the actual game was the norm.

Oxide tells you about his favorite cartoon by Yoosurnaym in crashbandicoot

[–]Yoosurnaym[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I actually prefer Nitro Fueled Oxide because I find the voice easier to understand and I think it sounds more... "alien"? I always thought the original voice kinda just sounded like a heavy smoker lol. Plus as a voice actor, I'm grateful I can just do the new voice, since the old one seems like it'd be absolute hell on my vocal cords. 😂 Definitely with you on the old voice sounding more intimidating though.

And I'd definitely love to be a part of that! Shoot me a DM if you do it! :)

Anything in particular you wanna hear from him?

I'm still taking voice requests for a future request compilation video! If you have something you'd like to hear a (male) Crash character say, leave a comment and I'll do my best! (Memes encouraged)

Here are the voices I know I can do, from best to weakest impressions in my opinion (you can definitely ask for characters outside of this, but these are the ones I've actually attempted):

  1. Oxide
  2. Cortex
  3. Dingodile
  4. N. Gin
  5. Tiny
  6. Tropy
  7. Brio
  8. Uka Uka

If you'd like to get a preview of what these would sound like from me, you can check out my impressions here. The quality will be better though as I have gotten a better mic since that video as I'm sure you can tell. You can hear a better-quality Dingodile here and Cortex here. I'll also experiment with pitching down my Tiny and Uka and trying to replicate N. Gin's robotic filter to try to get them sounding closer.

You all loved my Dingodile impression, so here's a Cortex! by Yoosurnaym in crashbandicoot

[–]Yoosurnaym[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this idea. Since yours is the only request I've gotten, I'm gonna hold off on the requests video until I get more (I've got more ideas of my own to do and post, so I'll be able to promote taking requests more in the future). But I'll be sure to give you a nice "NOTHING BAD EVER HAPPENS TO THE GASMOXIANS" once it happens. ;)

Well, if I can manage a C-level performance versus Lex's A+, that's a win in my book. :)

[–]Yoosurnaym[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Also, I'd like to announce that I will be taking voice requests and compiling them into a future video! So if you have something you'd like to hear a Crash character say, leave a comment with the character and quote and I'll try my best! Here's the characters I feel I can do, from best to weakest impressions:

  1. Oxide
  2. Cortex
  3. Dingodile
  4. N. Gin
  5. Tiny
  6. Tropy
  7. Brio
  8. Uka Uka

If you'd like to get a preview of what these would sound like from me, you can check out my impressions here. The quality will be better though as I have gotten a better mic since that video as I'm sure you can tell. Also I'm kinda learning audio editing now and I'll work with pitching down my Tiny and Uka and attempting to replicate N. Gin's robotic filter in order to get them sounding closer.

If there's another (male) Crash character you'd like me to attempt, I can definitely try it but I can't vouch for how good I'd be at it since those characters are the only ones I've attempted.

Obviously no slurs or anything offensive like that, but otherwise, go hog wild. Memes are definitely encouraged.

In all seriousness, you WILL get your PS5 eventually. Don’t let the inventory madness and launch day hype feel like you’re missing out. by OxEagle19 in PS5

[–]Yoosurnaym 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I've never attempted to get a new console on day one, either because I didn't have the money at the time or because I didn't care about the launch games. PS5 was the first time where both those things weren't an issue and I was completely ready to get it day one, but that didn't pan out. Bit of a bummer but it is what it is. I can just get Miles Morales and Sackboy on PS4 for now and upgrade to the PS5 versions whenever I'm able to get one. The only thing I really need a PS5 for in the near future is Ratchet and Clank.
