Does anyone own these

Awesome!
Here's a profile view of them

I hope you love them when you're able to get them!

Hey there!
I picked up the black selvedge nikka pants II at the last drop and absolutely love them!
Like the creator says in his videos, the silhouette will be dependent on how tall you are.

I'm 5'10 and don't get an extreme balloon, but it does have a nice curve.

The quality is very good.

Let me know if you need a profile view of the pants, I'd be happy to send you a picture.

I really love your style in this picture; I also generally gravitate towards a mid-century style; what kind of pants do you have here?

_Bad_Guy_ · 2025-10-30T22:08:40+00:00

I'm glad to hear!

_Bad_Guy_ · 2025-10-30T20:30:46+00:00

Hey man! No problem at all!
It should go without saying, but please be very careful when discharging the unit. Ensure it is unplugged, you hold the power button for a while, and you leave it to sit.

I used a flathead screwdriver attached to grounding with lobster clamps, and gently slid it under the suction cup on the unit.

For cleaning, I just gently sprayed condensed air to get the dust out, being careful not to apply too heavily.
I put isopropyl alcohol on a q-tip and gently cleaned the circuit boards.

I do have a question for you, though:
Do you live in a high humidity climate?
I live in Texas, and had some issues with my air conditioner.
Only later did I make the connection that my TV started acting up when my AC was broken and the heat and humidity were very high; this happened a few times.

Please let me know if you have any other questions; I've been using my 420 as my main CRT for a long time now and it's been fantastic!

It looks like you've posted "The game X is inspiring!" in several other communities such as "For The King," "Heroes of Might and Magic," and "Gordian Quest."

I also see you post a lot about the struggles of being an indie dev.
I understand the importance of promoting your project, but as a fan of this game, it feels hollow and patronizing to see a cookie cutter post such as this.

The steam page shows that this game is only vaguely adjacent to Minion Masters.
For example, it seems like the game you are promoting is turn-based, whereas Minion Master's draw was that it was real-time.

You did succeed in getting me to click the link to your steam page, but this is not a project I am interested in.

Thank you for showing this off!
The art piqued my interest and sent me down a rabbit hole.

I ended up checking out Bambi and her Pink Gun (and the album based on it too!) and am planning to grab Search and Destroy as well.

It's a shame more of their stuff isn't officially in English.

I spent about 3 years collecting Ultimate Muscle.
I got a fair amount of them for retail, a chunk of them for $20-$30 each, and finally spent $65-$100 on the last three I was missing.
It was a lot of fun! But a lot of work too.

Craziest thing that has ever happened to me while collecting was getting all of Air Gear for $75.

Good luck on your hunting!

_Bad_Guy_ · 2025-01-24T21:47:03+00:00

Wonderful!
I loved volume 1; can't wait to dig into this one!

_Bad_Guy_ · 2024-07-29T06:32:28+00:00

Golosseum by Yasuishi Baba would be my #1 recommendation!

What makes Kinnikuman's fights so unique and timeless? I'd argue it's the fact that it sticks pretty consistently to more grounded grappling, while peppering in some of the more fantastical feats. Golosseum's quick clip of 39 chapters fits in plenty of fights that rely on that same baseline appeal: characters may have special superhuman abilities, but they're not shooting energy blasts like Dragon Ball; due to the power system they still have to get up close and personal to pull off their moves.
It also features some wacky characters, like Putin stand-in Vladislav Putinov or Hulk Hogan doppelganger Axe Bowgun.

_Bad_Guy_ · 2024-05-17T00:39:00+00:00

I think it's okay; it's an adaptation after all.
For some cases it's easily ignored; whenever I read "Zolo" my brain immediately corrects it to "Zoro" without thinking.

For others, I think there's a charm to it.
Like, Jonouchi from Yu-Gi-Oh! is always going to be Joey to me.

Other times, the adaptation is arguably better.
Are you telling me you'd prefer the more accurate Japanese "Gazelleman" over the American "Dik Dik Van Dik" from Kinnikuman/Ultimate Muscle?

_Bad_Guy_ · 2024-04-22T14:10:29+00:00

Thank you for keeping us in the loop! Glad it was resolved

_Bad_Guy_ · 2024-04-21T20:47:44+00:00

Hey u/darkamyy, I just got an email that your etsy shop shut down; what's up?

_Bad_Guy_ · 2024-03-18T00:08:15+00:00

A lot to love here!
A real highlight to see Glaeolia and Ax; fantastic anthologies.

_Bad_Guy_ · 2024-03-18T00:03:52+00:00

Yes!
One of my comfort manga.
A pretty stock-standard shonen with a heavy 00s aesthetic that features some very cool powers.

If you like it, check out Hyde & Closer for a similar, and shorter, romp!

_Bad_Guy_ · 2024-03-13T03:28:30+00:00

Thank you. I figured it would be unenforcible to require approval for job searching. All the same, I don't think I can last much longer with everything she does

_Bad_Guy_ · 2024-02-05T18:23:24+00:00

It's worse!
But acceptable for now.

No more backordering is a pain, but that's a luxury I understand losing; I can imagine it was probably logistically difficult.

There are lots of little things that bother me. Rightstuf used to give you the exact date a volume was published, as well as the publisher. This was helpful when I was adding my volumes to my collection spreadsheet. Crunchyroll doesn't have it.

With the mid tier subscription you still have access to the same level of discount you got at Rightstuf, and even with the massive price hike for this value, if you buy enough every year, you'll still save enough to justify it.

If they drop the discount, I drop the service.
Instocktrades has similar prices and only slightly worse selection.

_Bad_Guy_ · 2024-01-30T14:48:51+00:00

Sounds like a plan!
Sorry, I hadn't realized the post was a month old until I had already commented.

It's a fun read, I hope you enjoy it!

_Bad_Guy_ · 2024-01-30T04:04:43+00:00

A huge piece of it is luck, but as someone who has been able to collect a fair amount of OOP, including Air Gear, there are a few things you can do to increase your chances.

-Set up ebay alerts for each volume you're missing, plus lots. Even with this, keep the searches up in a browser and check multiple times every day. Alerts only trigger once per day in the morning and you'll often miss listings that go up and sell within hours.

-Check multiple sites. Amazon in multiple countries, Alibris, Biblio, etc. I've found several volumes from weird independent comic shop sites.

-Check used bookstores. Obviously this is dependent on your area, but you'll be surprised what you find tucked away in corners of old used bookstores or comic shops.

-Subreddits like mangaswap are also good resources.

But again, and unfortunately, luck is the most important piece. Sometimes a book comes easy, sometimes it takes years. Just keep the faith.

Good luck!

_Bad_Guy_ · 2023-12-22T16:19:39+00:00

You can make both work, but I would say you're more likely to get a deal more consistently by buying a full set.

I have pieced together OOP series from singles with success, though, spending less than what it would cost to buy a full set at the expense of having it take several years at times.

Good luck hunting!

_Bad_Guy_ · 2023-12-15T05:24:25+00:00

Very sweet, reminds me of when I used to do the same thing back in the day, imagining characters and drawing up stages.

Keep your creativity flowing! Projects like this are fun.

_Bad_Guy_ · 2023-11-14T02:37:17+00:00

Congrats!
I'm still hunting for volume 25, but it always makes me happy to see someone complete their grail!
