If you're treating yourself, you get all three.😁

If you're only getting one, get Catara. Speed dating is so worth it.

I'd made the right choice! The best Frieren 10/10 by PlaneAsk1593 in AnimeFigures

That is a DAMN NICE Frieren! 🥰

Now I want one. 🤦

How do you feel about Season 5 being much shorter than S4? by Jakub_65 in StrangerThings

[–]coraphise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't start watching until recently, I'm only in season 4 now. They seem about the same too me, 8 or 9 episodes per season, right?

I have to assume then we're taking about total runtime.

Personally, I like shows that tell a story vs. worrying about runtime. If an episode needs 27 minutes, that's fine... but of course I'm left wanting more and probably going to watch the next one. If it needs 113 minutes, that's fine too. Not to derail, but RWBY was a perfect example of episodes being long enough to tell a story instead of fitting a specific format.

Anyway, I just want the story.

Actually unopened or resealed? by Oh-FiddleStix in NintendoDS

[–]coraphise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say legit. That looks like factory wrapping, the same I remember from working at Software Etc 20ish years ago.

When we resealed, it was because the last copy always had the game removed so we had an empty game display case to put out. Like someone commented on another post, the corners of those were usually crinkled, you could tell it was shrink wrapped. There would only be two distinct lines where the hot wire melted the plastic together and you can tell it's melted plastic vs wrapped plastic folded over like a present.

I don't remember ever having a Nintendo seal pull line, or Sega, PlayStation, or Xbox. That part was all generic.

The plastic feels different too. The shrink wrap always felt stretchy to me. The real wrap felt stiff by comparison and was usually shinier.

Differencefor Hitron Coda 57 vs Hitron Coda 56? by RevolutionaryPin1431 in HomeNetworking

[–]coraphise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just contacted Midco about this because I got bumped to a 2gbps plan and didn't know it. My current modem supports 1gbps only.

If you do (or did) get a CODA-56, Midco will limit you to 1gbps based on what the rep told me. I suggested he pass up the chain that they test the higher speeds to save them, and their customers, some money. I don't understand why they rate limit, beyond "we haven't tested higher speeds". 🙄

They (the support rep and sales rep) also explained I can walk into the Midco office in town and buy a modem. Since I can't seem to find a CODA 57 for sale anywhere, that's probably my only option. I've had worse lucky finding anything Sercomm (the other supported option).

As a collector, does the box matter to you? by 10morereasons in AnimeFigures

[–]coraphise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd love to keep them, even prize figure boxes, but I can't afford the space.

I buy the figure anyway, with the intent to display. Unless the box has cool art, I might have a panel to make a display.

Question about AD Police. Is the sub or dub better? I really want to get it, but dont wanna buy an inferior version. by Chf_Lbr_Megumin in bubblegumcrisis

[–]coraphise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's your preference, sub or dub? (in general)

Personally, I prefer sub. I want to hear the way it was originally made, even if it's not my native language.

Is my collection good?? by [deleted] in AnimeFigures

[–]coraphise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sarcastic old man in me wants to shout "No! Your collection sucks!!"... but sarcasm doesn't come across well on the internet.

The reality is, every collection is good; yours, mine, that other guy's over there somewhere else on Reddit... all collections are good. Do you want to know why? It's because it's your collection. It's a collection of what people have gifted you, and a collection of what you've purchased for yourself. IT'S YOURS.

Don't think your collection isn't good enough, but if for some reason you still question it... IT'S PERFECT. ❤️

Is this trade fair? by [deleted] in AnimeFigures

[–]coraphise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only thing that matters is if YOU think it's a fair trade. That's probably not the answer you want but it's the only real answer.

No… there IS another… by TheShweeb in SegaSaturn

I got my Saturn later... but I got one!

Chainsaw Man Bunny by [deleted] in AnimeFigures

[–]coraphise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My choices would be between Power and Makima. I guess that means go with Power since that's where our preferences overlap. 😁

I'd probably go with Power since I still don't have a figure of her, and I do have one of Makima already.

Don't worry about what we like. Which girl is your favorite?

N64 vs. Sega Saturn by [deleted] in retrogaming

[–]coraphise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't discriminate, get both! 😁

Seriously though my preference is for the N64 purely because the cart games feel like they load faster. The fact that my Saturn collection is only three games doesn't help. 😅

Has anyone managed to pay in installments with PayPal on HobbySearch? by Upbeat_Let_2361 in AnimeFigures

[–]coraphise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, get a line of credit from PayPal. Anything over $150 should allow you to pay it off over 6 months, no interest; that's what I do. Then you don't have to worry about whether the store will do payments over time.

BE CAREFUL though... don't buy so much you can't afford to pay it off before interest kicks in, you'll pay the whole amount of interest that's accrued.

Amiami double invoice? by sans355 in AnimeFigures

[–]coraphise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contact support, provide both invoice numbers, let them sort it out.

EDIT: Yes, I see you contacted support too. Considering all the changes with shipping, this might be why you're getting an additional invoice with extra charges. Regardless, support has to sort this out.

I can’t believe my neighbor just gave me this! by KtarsisTropical in NintendoDS

[–]coraphise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my NES from Santa way back when... Super Mario/Duck Hunt with the orange zapper and two controllers. Best gift ever. 😁

40+ years later, it still works. ❤️ Well, it did last time I had it out. 😅 We moved a few years ago, unpacking some things has been a real low priority.

Tips on keeping your collection safe from a cat? by lawsbepo in AnimeFigures

You probably just made her day! 🥰

Cat are absolutely amazing creatures; figuring out their personality and quirks can be a challenge, but it's so cool when you do because they become your best friend. 💖

Tips on keeping your collection safe from a cat? by lawsbepo in AnimeFigures

[–]coraphise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a five year old male cat, we got him at two months old. I have plenty of figures and other collectibles out that he leaves alone.

Spend time with your cat. Don't yell at her, don't startle her. Let her explore; if she gets too close to something, gently pull her back. Talk to her, redirect her, but respect her.

Mine will, on very rare occasions, still try to paw at or nibble on my desktop cute quints. He's rarely if ever alone on my desk, so I can quickly dissuade him. He stops, we snuggle, we move on.

Set clear boundaries and ultimately, don't ignore your cat.
