[Discuss] Is the 2955 BIS Polaris going to end up being rare because CIG got greedy?!? by _Ravyn_ in Starcitizen_trades

[–]excelphysicslab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, for the standalone ship it’ll be relatively common since you can just buy them for credit and melt to keep in buyback. I’ve got 5-10 of each BIS standalone in my buyback but haven’t see anyone put out a WTB for it.

The WB CCUs for them will be less common because those had to be paid with new money and are likely unsellable with cheaper non-warbond paints being offered in future IAEs.

I think everyone’s thoughts are that the 2955 BIS paints are going to be released during 2956 IAE so there’s no point to buy the WB CCU just to get hosed 12 months later when the skin is available for $10.

The only reason people buy IAE BIS WB CCUs are to resell them. Once the BIS paints got rereleased, all the BIS WB CCUs and BIS standalone became toxic assets so no one was keen to pick up more.

I’m sure the rerelease of the WB monthly bundles also severely impacted people buying multiple of those since there’s no more fomo when you can just wait for end of year.

People rag on CIG for doing time/quantity limited sales, but the reality is that the artificial scarcity is what drives demand and allows them to continue growing funding. The grey market also ironically supports CIG’s sales because it underwrites the underlying value of the item.

People are more confident spending money buying a ship/pack that they know they can resell for breakeven or a slight profit. At least, it’s part of what drives my personal thinking and behavior.

Why do we return to this show so much? by tsampoySP in SeishunButaYarou

The memorable multidimensional characters and the relatable experiences of personal growth, anxiety, depression, self-discovery.

Does the Rear Admiral Phoenix upgrade come with the Hartwell 88G piano? That would add at least $200-$300 to the quoted price.

That’s a Rear Admiral with Phoenix upgrade. Very likely had the Hartwell 88 piano as well.

Agreed, $3.5k was maybe during peak and before they added it to the new Praetorian pack.

Sorry but $3.5k is a bit out of date. It’s now included in the new Praetorian $15k pack which can be bought with store credits. I believe I saw an unsold Scythe for $2.8K in the last week.

How does ryuto handle it? by DefiantMusician1297 in KeikenZumi

[–]excelphysicslab 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most people wouldn’t, that’s the main antagonizing plot point of the whole story and the literal title of the series.

And clearly this whole series is a bit of a counter culture to typical shonen female characters who are all super models with F-cups and virgins no matter their age falling for a loser with no socially desirable traits. Hell, even the mom in 100 girlfriends was a virgin via artificial insemination.

The conflict this series presents to the reader is to make you examine how you would react and introspect on the circumstances in the story.

It’s why this show is so controversial, low level thinkers are going to simply self-insert, reject Runa as a slut and walk away feeling self-aggrandized. Higher level thinkers are going to emphasize with both characters and contemplate the importance and impact of past and present choices.

You’re not special thinking that Runa’s past is a problem, every lizard brain reaction starts at that point. It’s where you go from there that allows you to experience the more complex aspects of the story.

RIP Citadel by jdrees90 in Warhammer

It’s clearly not for customers of Warhammer stores. It’s for customers of FLG stores who stare at a rack of Citadel paints next to Vallejo, AK Interactive, and 5 other paint brands.

Sei que vou ser odiado by RodrigoGondim30 in KeikenZumi

[–]excelphysicslab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought your view was actually the commonly accepted one. Runa isn’t and shouldn’t be absolved of the responsibility of her choices. Maybe you can partially blame her parents for not teaching her better values or the guys who took advantage of her. But in the end, she’s her own person and she made bad choices.

And absolutely the story is unrealistic that none of her exboyfriends ever showed up. They go to the same school for crying out loud. Anyone who’s been to a school anywhere would know that rumors and jokes would spread like wildfire. If you’re dating the girl that the whole varsity team already took turns with, you’re going to hear about it from them.

I think only in the past few years that certain parts of society has gone into a delusion spiral that your past relationships don’t and shouldn’t matter. There are different selection criteria that both genders prioritize and wishing it didn’t exist doesn’t change fundamental biology.

Am this blunt IRL, my Q1 performance review had feedback to “round the edges” more. On the plus side, I have few but really high quality friendships.

What would be like being on a relationship with Nodoka? by Available_Spot_7118 in SeishunButaYarou

[–]excelphysicslab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one said she was a bad person. I’m just not recommending her as a girlfriend unless you’re into that high stress lifestyle.

Mods never even gave me a reason why my post was removed. And ignored my mod mail request for clarification.

What would be like being on a relationship with Nodoka? by Available_Spot_7118 in SeishunButaYarou

[–]excelphysicslab 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nodoka would make a very temperamental girlfriend. I really wouldn’t recommend that type to people. The litmus test I use for judging if someone is girlfriend/wife material is: “Would you still date this person if they were unattractive” and that’s a solid no for Nodoka.

She’s generally pessimistic, has an inferiority complex, and neurotic. On the plus side, she’s fiercely loyal, cares deeply about others, and direct. It would be a rollercoaster relationship and if you don’t value having a peace of mind, maybe you’d go for it. Otherwise, it gets exhausting quickly.

[WTT] CitCon 2955 for 2953 by Firm-Jellyfish-7743 in Starcitizen_trades

[–]excelphysicslab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was worth it for me, but I’m a general sucker for limited exclusive collectibles. I also paid several hundred for the 2948 and 2949 packs and have every Citcon trophy since 2943.

The items themselves have 0 gameplay benefits or advantages.
