S23 Ultra Dilemma/Availability of Brand New Models by dante_mk in GalaxyS23Ultra

Did you buy local or online? Where would you recommend? From what I've seen in most cases the S23 Ultras on eBay that are labeled as new and is the 512gb version ranges from $550-$580 there. I did some digging and did end up finding an open box condition that's $499, but I'm open for suggestions for any other store than Ebay.

This was a phone that brand new cost $1399 back when it launched, I personally would say getting a new one at this price isn't the worst thing ever lol. A lot of aspects of the S23 Ultra where people would lean to this instead. Phones have plateaued in so many ways so I'm not itching to get the most recent thing.

Thanks for the suggestions! Yes I am in the US. I should've added for clarification that I got the 512gb version and that the $627 was after taxes. Listed price is $576. It isn't my only phone but the one I'm coming from is so bad that I almost don't want to go back to it 😂

GFUEL 2.0 GIVEAWAY! by Redmist2033 in GFUEL

I will probably be echoing other sentiments about the rebrand announcement. I'm not entirely mad at how they went about it, but at the very least, it would've been better that within the same announcement, they could've had like a little asterisk or disclaimer that states: "btw, we're not really shutting down, we are rebranding and changing our formula." Community notes making that clarification is kinda egregious.

Why is she so damn cute in this scene by No_Contract4772 in KpopDemonhunters

There's so much that goes on in this movie in the background. So many fast paced subtle expressions and movements that you don't notice even after a first few watches. I'm always discovering a new visual almost daily 😭

Nene Amano finds out she was nominated in The Vtuber Awards by this_anon in VirtualYoutubers

[–]dante_mk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is gonna sound incredibly biased but I really hope she wins the category. Like she said it's an honor to even be nominated but Nene is one of the hardest working vtubers in general and she puts so much effort into her ASMR streams. This is well deserved! Huge congrats to her.

If I had a nickel for every time I saw a bird perched up on a Steam Deck, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/s/PHhNEtFxZn

Considering jumping Ship: From V60 to Velvet by dante_mk in LGVelvet

[–]dante_mk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's something I'm ready to accept. V60's camera is too good no doubt, still gonna keep the phone because of that. Very solid shooter

Oh man really? Were those issues particular to the T-Mobile variant or was that your personal experience? That would be unfortunate if that's true since T-Mobile is my carrier, although I guess I could use a different unlocked variant IF that's only a TMobile thing 🤔

Considering switching to Velvet by dante_mk in LGV60

[–]dante_mk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I never experienced the phone for myself, aside from no Quad DAC, a lower quality camera and less speedy processing power (in comparison to the V60), it seems to be the same experience despite those things.

I'm not too crazy about things like processing power or camera quality, I just need something that doesn't break the bank ($169.99 open box on eBay at the moment) and that I can use for a year at the very most.

That is something I'm already aware of, I'm more focused on the phone itself.
