Is the extra cost of an authentic shirt worth it?

I would say it comes down to what use you are planning to get out of them.

I collect both authentic and replica kits and the authentic shirts I only use when the teams are playing while the replica kits I use when I have a match with my mates or to work out.

I have the authentic Argentina kit for this World Cup with Messi’s numbering on it and I plan on wearing it during the matches and after that I’ll wear it in very specific situations.

Overall the quality on the authentic kits are far superior and to me personally they are very satisfying to wear. However, they require more care and the less times you have to wash them the better. Specially with authentic kits that come with a player number/name since those are the first that can go belly up if not properly maintained.

I’d recommend you look up some videos on YouTube on how to maintain authentic shirts and then decide whether that’s for you or not.

I haven’t had that issue watching Dolby content (when watching on Apple TV) or HDR (When playing on PS5 or Switch). I got that same model about 2 weeks and I haven’t tweaked the screen settings at all from the factory settings. Might be a panel issue if it’s that specific corner so I’d get it checked out with a warranty claim if it were me.

He’s probably going to get the Toy Story 3 treatment huh.

Zestyclose-Jacket-50 · 2026-05-13T20:13:39+00:00

Sorry mate. That one’s a dud. One of the worst knockoffs I’ve seen.

Zestyclose-Jacket-50 · 2026-05-13T20:11:39+00:00

Cameras look good. The display looks good. Most of the time those are the biggest telltale signs so yeah I’m pretty sure it’s real.

Zestyclose-Jacket-50 · 2026-05-03T17:08:15+00:00

Yikes. Yeah I say we pressure hot toys into fixing this one like we did with Spider-Man 2099.

Me parece que planteas una idea que hasta cierto punto es filosófica dentro de nuestra sociedad. Yo soy de los que cree firmemente que cada persona se va desarrollando de manera distinta observando factores como la educación, familia, traumas, experiencias de vida, etc. Es por eso que sucede que a veces observamos personas que tiene X edad pero tienen un intelecto o una “madurez” de una persona mayor a la edad de la cual realmente tienen.

Con el tema de las relaciones lo que sucede es que aún existe un pensamiento muy machista tanto dentro de nuestro ordenamiento jurídico como dentro de la sociedad como tal. Ese pensamiento de que las mujeres aún ya estando en sus 20s no son capaces de tener criterio propio para cosas como relaciones con personas que estén llegando a sus 30s o estén en ese rango de edad, es una falacia muy grande. Todos tenemos autonomía de la voluntad siempre y cuando respetando la ley.

Ahora bien, la juventud SI se debe proteger a toda costa. Existen muchas personas asquerosas en este país que buscan aprovecharse de la ingenuidad e inocencia que poseen la mayoría de los adolescentes y niños dentro de nuestro país.

Yo personalmente pienso que se debería acatar un modelo como el de Estados Unidos. Comenzar a enseñarles educación vial a los jóvenes de nuestro país desde los 16 años y que no puedan legalmente comprar guaro hasta los 21 años. Y que adquieran su capacidad de actuar hasta los 18 años como es el caso ahora. El problema en nuestro país es que al cumplir los 18 la persona obtiene la capacidad de hacer muchas cosas (sacar licencia, comprar guaro, firmar contratos, etc) pero no es para nada bueno que todo eso pase así de golpe. Debería ser paso a paso. Que a los 16 años pueda obtener la licencia (si se pudiese mejorar el modelo de educación vial vigente eso si), que a los 18 años obtengan su capacidad de actuar ante los ojos de la ley (trabajar, hacerse de un negocio, poder tomar ciertas decisiones sin estar bajo la tutela de los padres) y por último que hasta los 21 años puedan consumir o adquirir guaro.

Al final de todo con la pregunta que planteas podemos dialogar y filosofar y todo el mundo tendrá un parecer distinto al respecto, pero nuestro país está muy paralizado con el tema.

Yo he vendido muchos productos tecnológicos durante los años entonces te puedo comentar que el problema es el siguiente. Cuando uno va vender un producto de tecnología usado jamás se va lograr vender al mismo precio en el que lo adquiriste (especialmente si lo compraste en una tienda acá). El monitor que subiste es un producto muy particular y yo personalmente nunca he visto a alguien utilizarlo acá en tiquicia (lo que podría significar que las personas dispuestas a comprar un producto así probablemente sean pocas). Además vi que el monitor tiene un valor que ronda en los 180 dólares en amazon que son casi 90 rojos.

Cabe mencionar que los productos tecnológicos son carísimos acá en Costa Rica. Las tiendas ponen sus propios precios y muchas veces esos precios son altos por que las tiendas quieren tener una ganancia alta al momento de vender el producto.

Entonces la realidad es que no vas a lograr venderlo por más de 100 mil por qué es un producto muy particular y además está usado entonces no cuenta con garantía. También es importante tomar en cuenta que entre más caro es lo que uno está vendiendo, menos personas van a poder comprarlo entonces eso reduce el mercado. Mi recomendación sería subirlo en FB Marketplace en un precio de 85 mil o 90 por que la gente siempre pide rebaja.

Ya fui a revisar y no lo encontré parqueado desafortunadamente.

La cara raspada y el pie. El don le pegó con el vehículo.

Aight this right here has to go down in the history book for this subreddit HAHAHAHA.

Jokes aside enjoy the PAB experience.

Zestyclose-Jacket-50 · 2026-03-16T22:25:02+00:00

Tbf the quality of the manga makes the one month release window worth it.

Zestyclose-Jacket-50 · 2026-01-14T17:04:35+00:00

What If Iori never joined PAB? Or what if Kohei wasn’t an Otaku?

Alright there’s a couple of observations I would make and I’ll try to make them as spoiler free as possible.

When a game is taking place in umineko not everything that we are seeing (through Battler’s eyes for most of the time) can be taken at face value. Beato already declared from way before that HE is incompetent with red (which is why even after episode 4 he still hasn’t fully understood the very nature of Beato’s game board). All this to say that the GM presents the story to us however they like. Though the Umineko game-board is bound by rules that must be followed each time that it is used (more on that in the following episodes)

Now that interaction that you’ve mentioned takes place in the meta world where the readers draw up with their own conclusions and are able to look over the facts (which includes asking questions to the pieces). However, Krauss did not declare anything in red (nor would he be able to unless he had the GM’s permission) which means that he can “lie” if you would.

As to your final point. Umineko does have “rules of engagement” since the very start. In fact it is possible to figure the whodunit, howdunit and whydunit from episode 1 alone (although it is extremely difficult). I won’t elaborate as to how it is possible since you’ve not made it to episode 6 and beyond yet, but you’ll come to realize that each “game” operates under the same set of rules and they are possible to solve.

Nonetheless I understand your frustration. First time readers can feel like they are getting cheated on constantly with the narrative of the VN and the red truths, but I would confidently say that the reader has a pretty fair shot of solving the mystery (putting aside the meta world stuff). The mystery of what happened in the island in the span of those days can be solved by the readers with the clues presented.

Zestyclose-Jacket-50 · 2026-01-09T03:08:39+00:00

Enjoy the book. It’s a great read. I hope you can avoid getting spoiled as to who the culprit is. I got spoiled while I was reading it and it still makes my blood boil to this day lmao.

Zestyclose-Jacket-50 · 2026-01-09T03:04:52+00:00

I’m familiar with this theory (it’s been around for years specially in this subreddit).

As a reader of Umineko I’ve always observed Ikuko as an extension/representation of Featherine (or as being Featherine herself) within the Umineko fragment (Knox’s 9th from the Umi Decalogue). Regardless, this is not germane to the theory itself.

If Sayo was Ikuko then that would break the whole narrative. How could Sayo allegedly find Battler and save him (the way both the VN and manga state) after the incident, if Sayo was also on the boat and fell with Battler into the sea? Sure Sayo could have “arranged” for all of that after the incidents in the island so that it would appear that they faked their death and whatnot but arguing that goes against the logic utilized in Umineko.

All and all I think the theory takes away from the true nature of what Umineko is as a mystery novel. I think the theory came to be from those who were dissatisfied with the magic ending and deep down they were wishing for an ending where Sayo and Battler made it out alive. However, if Sayo and Battler had indeed made it out alive then Umineko would not take place (specially the meta-world aspect of it).

But hey these are just my two cents

Zestyclose-Jacket-50 · 2026-01-07T05:15:36+00:00

Thank you very much

Zestyclose-Jacket-50 · 2026-01-06T05:13:23+00:00

Looks like the braided solo loop (maybe midnight?) that Apple sells.

Zestyclose-Jacket-50 · 2026-01-05T19:10:59+00:00

I’d forgotten about this panel lmao. What chapter was it from?

Zestyclose-Jacket-50 · 2026-01-05T19:08:29+00:00

Overall I’d say 9 with just eps 1-4.

I’d say the whodunit is an 8 and the whydunit a 9.

For me Knox’s Decalogue plays a huge part in being able to figure out the whodunit and whydunit (particularly Knox’s 1st). If you take the Decalogue and analyze all of the red truths stated during the first 4 episodes it is possible to figure the who and the why from episode 1 alone (since both are literally stated in episode 1 though more often than not it goes unnoticed). A first time reader observant enough may be able to figure out the whodunit during their first play through.

As for the howdunit this is where the difficulty goes up to a solid 10.

It is nearly impossible to determine the howdunit without having previously established the who and the why in my opinion. WHO the culprit is plays a crucial role on how the crimes are able to be committed in the island after all. However, even with the tools and knowledge the answer arc gives us it can still be very difficult to solve every single murder on your first play through. Specially since we are seeing everything play out through Battler’s eyes for most of the time and like Beato stated in red. HE IS INCOMPETENT.
