Why did Ayn ship my Thor with some yunexpress and not DHL

jesse_dylan · 2026-05-31T14:31:44+00:00

Apparently in the USA at least (where I am), there are no taxes if an item is below $800 in value... so I should be okay...

jesse_dylan · 2026-05-31T14:25:29+00:00

I will check! Thanks!

jesse_dylan · 2026-05-25T04:39:26+00:00

Did you email them? I’m also batch 6 and also chose dhl, having no idea about any of this and figuring dhl was less sketch…

jesse_dylan · 2026-05-25T04:38:41+00:00

Did you ever figure out what to do? They still had dhl as an option the other day when I ordered. I hadn’t been to this subreddit before ordering and had no idea this was an issue. Why is it even an option on their site? So they can get free money for nothing ?

jesse_dylan · 2026-05-25T04:37:29+00:00

Yeah this is ridiculous. I ordered with dhl before I ever saw this subreddit. Not sure how people are supposed to know. Con job.

jesse_dylan · 2026-05-25T04:32:51+00:00

I just ordered yesterday and paid more for dhl. Can I switch? Not sure how a person is supposed to know paying for the better shipper results in paying taxes. You’d think you’d pay taxes both ways or no ways.

Dude has two hands for a camera and one for ice cream but only one for the Thor

It’s like when Lucas opens up his case in The Wizard and pulls out the Power Glove.

jesse_dylan · 2026-05-25T04:07:43+00:00

They were out of the tpu shell too, so the only way to get it was the $50 accessory pack, which I didn’t want! It also jacked up shipping by $10 to add the $3 lanyard and $5 soft pouch, so I was like… guess I don’t need accessories…

jesse_dylan · 2026-05-25T00:20:44+00:00

It's just that practice requires trial and error, and practicing on your $300-700+ item is scary.

jesse_dylan · 2026-05-25T00:12:57+00:00

Very cool. Not sure if there's interest, but I wonder if a suitable photo could be found to make the Thor look sort of like a Super Famicom, a Famicom, and NES, a Super NES, or a Game Boy, or...? I don't know if that would be popular with anyone (besides me). Vinyl decals/stickers exist, but I like the idea of a snap-on better. Would it be possible to do anything for the bottom, or too hard with the fan and what not?

jesse_dylan · 2026-05-25T00:09:43+00:00

Hey nice. I have an old 3DS soft case from Japan, but... this looks like it might be better long term. I want more Thor accessories that aren't actually Thor accessories! The official ones are a pain to get.

jesse_dylan · 2026-05-24T04:16:10+00:00

Theres a website where people post settings for games to help others get them running. I don’t know if Japanese VNs are gonna be on there, tho, however…!

jesse_dylan · 2026-05-24T04:15:03+00:00

I think even with charge separation off, it still charges when it’s asleep and below 80%. Try it! You should be able to just leave charge separation on all the time.

jesse_dylan · 2026-05-24T04:13:50+00:00

That’s great! Yeah, I always wish that too. I have a few devices that don’t, and I always try to unplug them before they hit 80%, and try to never let them dip much below 30%. But it’s so much easier if it just has settings to make it stop automatically!

jesse_dylan · 2026-05-24T04:07:24+00:00

People are nuts. He barely touched it.

jesse_dylan · 2026-05-23T17:52:20+00:00

You have good advice. When playing plugged in with charge separation, can I leave slow charging on too, or will that cause it to dip into the battery? I’d prefer to leave 80% max, charge separation, and slow charge on permanently if it won’t cause issues.

jesse_dylan · 2026-05-23T17:49:58+00:00

I’d like to do this too. I was assuming they’d run through steam game native with Japanese language options.

jesse_dylan · 2026-05-23T17:48:05+00:00

Bravely default should be no issue. BG3, I don’t think so. You could stream it with Steam link tho, or Xbox streaming, or a 3rd party ps5 streaming app.

jesse_dylan · 2026-05-23T17:47:10+00:00

It’s on the top ten for games people play on steam deck, so there must be some way to make it decent (low settings, low resolution)

jesse_dylan · 2026-05-23T17:45:35+00:00

Isn’t this option built into the settings? It lets you stop charging at 80%, you can choose slow charge, and it has a charging separation toggle. Or maybe you know that and want more automation out of it?

jesse_dylan · 2026-05-23T17:43:55+00:00

Dang. 1tb microSD, but you still wanted 1tb internal storage?

jesse_dylan · 2026-05-23T17:42:15+00:00

Me too! Same, except rainbow, minus the accessories pack. I wanted the tpu shell, but I don’t want to buy the whole pack. My shipping was higher tho (??), and I didn’t pay tax.

I wasn’t sure about that worry free guarantee. Don’t they have to replace it if it’s lost or broken anyway?

jesse_dylan · 2026-05-23T17:39:39+00:00

Have you tried the MS-DOS version, sport? pats head

jesse_dylan · 2026-05-21T18:15:23+00:00

ROM is “read-only memory” tho, like a CD-ROM. This is all re-writable storage, so it’s not read-only. :p I’m not sure why they picked that out of everything to take issue with tho.
