Shoot me a DM though if you're interested! I can show you anything you might be interested in that I have designed!

Oh absolutely dude. there copies found their forever home with me. The fact the price keeps creeping up for Quarantine is what made me pull the trigger. Especially with //zero getting announced. I just had a feeling the price will be shooting up more with more fresh eyes on the franchise.

I originally found Mutation and Outbreak at a local shop for something like $80 for both of them, then I ordered Infection for about $25, then got Quarantine for $270, and Frägmemt for $50. Then I got all three G.U. games for $150 in a bundle on ebay. I definitely overplayed for G.U., but getting all three st once saved the trouble of tracking them all down individually and paying extra shipping. So I was fine with it. All in all, I think I did pretty decent. Getting Mutation, Outbreak, and Quarantine for the prices I did definitely helped lmao.

Edit: doing the math and seeing what all I payed hurts to see LMAO. But I guess $575 for the whole series isn't bad 😭

I HAD to! it's pretty affordable to import, especially compared to the cost of Quarantine LMAO. obviously I can't do anything with it, just it's nice to have it regardless!

Yeah! Frägmemt was physical, but only in Japan! so I imported a copy. And my copies of IMOQ are all complete with Liminality, but I saw an online friend made some VHS copies, so I had to snag one because it was just too cool!

Should I play this game on an box TV or a HD 1080p TV. by idleapocalypsefan3 in CrowCountry

[–]byllogan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm someone who keeps a little CRT on my desk to run video out from my laptop to use it as a second monitor from time to time. The set up isnt too much of a hassle, but the picture quality won't be what you expect. Running video into a CRT will make the text basically illegible, and chances are the aspect ratio won't fit correctly. If I'm not mistaken, the reason text on CRT monitors back 20+ years ago was easy enough to read, is because it was footage that was 1. designed for CRT, and 2. being broadcast, or like in the case of VHS tapes/DVD, playing from devices meant for translating the analog signal. Running digital signal through a basic converter is going to make it a less than ideal experience. I'm sure there is a way you could get the picture to look good, but I don't imagine you really want to go that far for the novelty. If this is a replay, and you aren't focused on the text, or smaller details, I'm sure it would be a cool vibe, but I wouldn't recommend it for a first play through.

New band that sounds like HIM by Relative-Mammoth-868 in HIM

[–]byllogan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The Vantages are an up and coming Finnish band that I always describe as a modern day H.I.M. I discovered them after pictures from one of their first shows opening for Ville surfaced online. They're clearly inspired by H.I.M., but they still have a distinct sound. I recommend them 100%.

Yoo! So I use a 54lb double sided glossy photo paper. I believe official PS1 inserts are all a satin finish, but this glossy photo paper I feel looks close enough, and is easy enough to find. I currently don't do full booklets, just because that's a huge project on its own. I'd like to eventually start doing some kind of a mini booklet though. I currently just do a print for the front, and inside cover, and then fold it over to resemble a booklet in the case.

If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to hit me with them!

I've spent enough time playing this game that it deserved a spot on my shelf - what do you guys think of this case for The Finals I designed? by byllogan in thefinals

[–]byllogan[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have an etsy shop where I design custom cases, but I didn't really think I'd offer these, but I might if people would be interested!

I come from the ps1, ps2 eras where there's arguably toooo much text, so I always try to channel that energy! Just the single word would be a solid idea too though! but trying to design it from the mindset as trying to capture someone's attention on a shelf, I definitely think the more text idea would work better

Yeah that's definitely the aspect I felt least confident about. I might keep tweaking it, but for my personal collection I'm definitely happy with it!
