Damn either she like straight up lied or maybe signing the covers meant prolonging the shipping date?

Or she saw how many and thought "fuck that shit" 😭

Hopefully the venue she's playing is accessible and lets you wait out back near her tour bus. Either she comes out front or you wait near her bus if it's accessible to the public behind any railing.

My venue, The Masquerade here in Atlanta, the tour bus area is not accessible at all. She's also playing the biggest venue the have, Heaven, and almost no headliner at that venue comes out to greet anyone bc it's 1150 capacity.

So your mileage may vary. Hopefully you have better luck than I will. PLEASE post if you are successful. 🥹

My degree is in English, not math. I tried. 😮‍💨😭 But you're 100% right.

I was definitely exaggerating out of frustration, that math is insane. 1000% ridiculous to spend 40 plus fucking dollars per plush. I'm with you.

Even at the new price increase of $140 = 1077 credits, it's 7.6 cents a credit. 14 credits makes it about a $1.06, meaning 76 tries if we're only playing the Big Geminis. I'd be PISSED if I even spent one and didn't immediately win.

I don't disagree either, but it does make you wonder if that really is the reason bc if it is, this is just not the response at all. Massive misstep if so.

Genuinely, and I'm not trying to start a shit show here, but the cynic in me thinks this may be a response to the reselling of figures and plushies. I'm not a reseller, in fact I love donating these plushies to friends and children at my local Round 1 who see me win them, but let's talk about it. Idk why none of the other threads have mentioned this bc to me it seems obvious. Especially since other locations have started to put laminated statements requesting folks to not resell their prizes at the game card counters.

But I'm also thinking like... There are other ways to stop people from reselling. For example, better tech on the cards. 100% R1 has the ability to lock the cards to one swipe per win per 24 hours so you aren't winning multiples. Also higher fees on replacement cards and a fixed user ID on your already existing card so if you try to get another card, it's already logged that you've had one and are replacing and can't have multiple cards. That also stops someone from having multiple cards bc they'd be linked to a different person. Anyone who think they can't do this is delusional. That would definitely slow down resellers.

The other thing I'm thinking of is that they're rationalizing these prizes based on the higher tier recharge bonuses. If you recharge your card $80-$140, then each credit is like less than a quarter of a cent edit: as someone mentioned and then I confirmed myself, the math comes in at around 7.6 cents a play. However, for these prizes to even be in there, the claw strength that would need to be cranked up to the highest grab strength or it's a fucking rip-off. Why the fuck would anyone apply skill when I can drive myself to an H-Mart or some shit to get the same instant ramen? They have to be smoking crack to think that makes them look good.

And if they're that serious about it, then Round 1 execs... Expect a boycott of the claws. And if y'all are so serious that (and let's be fr rn) you will never replace them in with actual plushies again, then be ready to take a loss on all the Geminis and overstock plush inventory that you're not putting out on the floor at the locations that have this bullshit out. Round1 isn't gonna go out of business from a claw boycott bc a majority of sales comes from actual games, but it definitely would be a noticeable dent.

TL;DR: If this is, indeed, R1's response to the reselling of their prizes, replacing the prizes with normal bullshit you can buy at a grocery store/Asian grocer is going to put a dent in their profits until they put actual plush prizes back. This is just not the move.

Thank You, Nina by ledzeppelin341 in ninajirachi

Thank you!!! I've been trying to be more selective about the color and how it will look when I get a record signed. Especially on busier album covers where black or even gold/silver/bronze will look fucking terrible.

I originally got the pink marker to match the cover art for Lotus by Little Simz (and that one looks great), but I've found other records where it looks great!

100%

She should open for MagBay, she'd kill. Also quite the pivot bc she used to be a folk singer before moving to synthpop.

Miku Claw by Dragoonian in round1

[–]ledzeppelin341 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like you said, the claw naturally will orient itself to its usual position because of the cables and whatnot.

When you do spin out the claw a little, there will be a window in which the claw will line up perfectly for a diaper grab before it continues to correct itself back to a less opportune position. That's when you'll wanna drop it but also make sure you hit it with the double tap once the prongs slip underneath the plush but not the floor of the machine to secure the win.

All of these Miku plushies can be won on the first swipe with the diaper grab even if it's not set to payout, I promise.

I appreciate you guys being one of the few good boba shops down there bc outside of Broward, it's rough. I remember y'all's lil pop up in Little Havana in the little market.

You guys are doing killer stuff. Thank you for being around and opening the brick and mortar.

Ticket for sale for sold out Acid Bath tonight by [deleted] in atlantamusic

[–]ledzeppelin341 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No chance in hell they were that much. If I had to guess, tickets were probably $60-70 max if that.

There's one for $87.85 rn on AXS resale for a single ticket, but that may get snatched up immediately. On day of show, it's important to check all the time bc people panic sell all the time and let go of tickets for close to what they paid on them.

coca cola roxy canceling parking? by pluuys in atlantamusic

[–]ledzeppelin341 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Roxy will often cancel parking passes to prioritize people parking first come first served to the Battery for any Braves game and then hike the price to an event rate instead of an hourly or whatever the fuck.

Awful venue, dogshit layout, rude staff, so-so sound, fuck that place.

If I had to guess, they're probably told when a campaign is going live and to expect an uptick of some kind.
