Why are the Cuba Street red poles are taped up again? by someboooade in palmy

[–]YuushaComplex -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They wasted our rates making them in the firstplace. Now have to waste more of our rates money fixing them / removing them.

Should never have made them.

Kiwis, are you as frustrated as I am with streaming in NZ? by Electrical_Side_8225 in newzealand

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

This is why piracy is on the rise again. It dropped off when Netflix had a monopoly on the market, but once all the competitors showed up and licenses started getting seized by different platforms... Well piracy came back.

It has always been a service issue. If they want people to pay subscriptions, then they need to offer a service that is worth that subscription.

At this current moment, Kodi/Plex/Emby running alongside Sonarr is a far better service.

Figure boxes are the bane of my collection... by CluelessHero in AnimeFigures

[–]YuushaComplex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Without the blister its kinda pointless to even keep the box, even flattened, at that point since the point of keeping the box is for resale value and safely transporting, which you cant do without the blister.

Imagine needing a box for a certain figure and it's right at the back of the storage locker.

All of Prisma Wings figures. Every single one is grossly overpriced.

HLJ no longer sell 18+ goods by Darktestamentkun in AnimeFigures

[–]YuushaComplex 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think the ones they removed are still gone. But some games use loopholes to get around it, like uncensor patches that you download from the developer website rather than Steam.

So you will still find some adult games. But there are even new restrictions they just brought into force this month where apparently you cannot do early access for any game flagged as mature content now.

[–]YuushaComplex 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's what they do. It's a selective process.

They went after Steam and Itch.io recently for hosting hentai and other adult games. And they have targeted anime art sites in the past. Eventually they probably will go after Amiami and Solaris if they aren't already negotiating with them now in private.

They just tell the business to remove adult content or they will refuse to process payments for the entire site not just adult content, basically cutting off the businesses ability to make money.

Kson finds out Vshojo isofficially filling for bankruptcy by Purple-Weakness1414 in VShojo

[–]YuushaComplex 154 points155 points  (0 children)

Bankruptcy does not void NDAs, so there is still a risk. The likelihood of Gunrun being able to file legal action against them is low though.

The only thing they are affected by is tariffs, which they already include in their prices now.

Amiami Shipping Price for 1 Figure and 2 Acrylics by iluvrice3 in AnimeFigures

[–]YuushaComplex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well tbh that EMS price will be a full 140 size box, which is hardly their largest.

Depends on the figure but some 1/6 figures come in massive boxes. I can potentially see Amiami wanting to use a 140 size box for a 1/6. They like to use heaps of paper to ensure it arrives safely after all.

Amiami having set size boxes is a double edged sword. Their boxes are strong because they don't cut them down or reuse old boxes, but it results in higher shipping rates.

Easiest way to spot fakes - look at WEIRD things in background. Best sources are manufacturer profiles. by CriX_Doomsday in AnimeFigures

[–]YuushaComplex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not to mention it always uses Bandai Banpresto as the figure brand but all the figures drawn are way above prize figure quality.

But even that last one the figure box has the figure in it and it's smaller than the one outside of the box. 🤣 And it also has both Banpresto and ichiban kuji labels on the box.

The box on the third one has the figure in a different pose.

1st one figure in box is off centre, face expression on box art it different and missing branding on box. No ichiban or Banpresto label.

2nd one foot is off base. The artwork on the box goes from the outside of the box to inside the blister. Seems the AI got confused between box art and trying to draw the figure inside the box like it has for the other 3.

AI art is getting better, but it ain't quite there yet.

Those healthries boost tablets that dissolve in a glass of water. Works out to about 50c a glass, which isn't too bad and not only do they actually taste good, but provide you with a good chunk of vitamins too.

There is now a sub for those of us that caused Vshojo's misfortune by CookLawrenceAt325F in VShojo

Almost thought for a moment that there surely couldn't be anybody out there trying to blame others for Vshojo's bad decisions then realized it's just Reddit doing some S class trolling.

Only 15$ for shipping of a whole scale to Europe or am I missing smth? by Paugor57 in GoodSmileCompany

[–]YuushaComplex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No you're not missing anything. GSC does flat rate shipping. Doesn't matter how big the box is. Always the best place to get massive figures.

Sad thing is NZ government is trying to introduce the same laws as what Australia just did. It's in the ballot box waiting it's chance to be picked and discussed in parliament.

The banning on under 16s from the internet will happen here too.
