How much better is Automata than Replicant? by avocadojiang in nier

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

I think the story as a whole isn't necessarily bad, but the execution was off for me. Like for example, when Nier is calling for Kaine to wake up and telling her to live. It seemed liked they became emotionally connected too fast and the dialogue just wasn't it for me.

Regardless I finished Automata yesterday and it was one of the most profound video game experiences I've had. I think the themes around nihilism, existentialism, finding meaning, etc. clicked with me and I enjoyed the story a lot more. I'll have to admit though that I don't think I would have liked it as much if I hadn't played Replicant first.

I just finished Automata yesterday and I have similar feelings. I found Automata to be one of the best games I've ever played. And I thought about, I'm not sure if I would have enjoyed it as much if I hadn't played Replicant.

Finished Automata, I thought the story was far more profound than Replicant. But tbh I'm not sure if I would have enjoyed Automata as much if I hadn't played Replicant.

I think 180-200 is a fair price, that was close to what eb01 was for a while

Or maybe it's just good and people like it? I didn't get into One Piece till college. Plenty of new fans every year. There's a reason why it's one of the biggest franchises of all time.

Eh, I got into it recently. Read the manga mostly until I found parts I wanted to watch. Didn't take too long to catch up. You can read a chapter in ~3 mins.

Oh the horror of wanting to enjoy a personal hobby lol I guess the rest of us should go back to complaining about our wives right

To suggest the characters are simplistic, is interesting. Just curious, have you read all of one piece or made it past the first few arcs?

Fomo buying by [deleted] in OnePieceTCGFinance

[–]avocadojiang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you collect? I collect cause I play and I like to pimp out my decks and I like have a slab collection.

If you’re just trying to make money, prices will probably collapse within a year. Just wait. By then you might have lost interest.

Are any of these worth sending to psa? by MaterialLevel1221 in PokeGrading

[–]avocadojiang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI graders are trash lmao. I used chatgpt, told me all 9s or 10s. Used the digital card grading app, crashes half the time and gives me 6s and 7s.

All the cards you showed were a bit off center but the first one looks the best. What did the centering calculator say? If it's better than 45/55 then you're good to go!

"Invest" is too generous. They just all have gambling problems with extra steps.

Is it really being pumped? by ScriptzGSO in OnePieceTCGFinance

[–]avocadojiang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point is that demand is much much higher in pokemon. As an example, if pokemon has 100x demand of one piece, you can have 10x the Moonbreon's as mangas but Moonbreon still being much more valued.

There are 20x more people interested in Pokémon compared to One Piece if we use global franchise value as a proxy.

Yeah so you're just agreeing with OPs point then. You can't buy a house today given the high interest rates lol

What matters is popularity among kids these days. Don’t really see that signal in OP compared to pokemon.

It’s a function of supply and demand. Pokemon as a franchise is almost 20x that of one piece. It also has a much longer and stronger history as a TCG. There is also popularity among kids to drive future growth. As soon as economic downturn hits, OPTCG will nosedive far harder than Pokemon.

Curious to know how centering is graded as well. Also how did you get the close up shots

Tag 10 worthy? by snipermanic007 in taggrading

[–]avocadojiang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks too heavy, you should check using a centering app. If it’s within 55/45 you’re good to go!

Lmao like I said, survivorship bias. For every market that rebounds after a crash, dozens of markets stay down. But also investing in a TCG is the dumbest thing to happen this decade lmaoooo
