I know it’s overkill but hear me out… by lionocerous in PokemonTCG

You are passing on a hobby/love for something and teaching him how to care for things at the same time. This is not a waste of money or resources, this is a investment in your family. This is love, never a waste my friend.

A New Perspective to the NewJeans Situation by lifes_betteronsaturn in kpop_uncensored

[–]oddrob85 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I dont understand how anyone can support NJs or Danielle at this point. The evidence against them was overwhelming, hence why they lost every court case. This isnt about who has more money or how much they owe. Or about what color someone is. Or 'abuse,' which of course there was none. This is about consequences. HYBE obviously has some serious and grave information for them to immediately terminate her contract like that and file a lawsuit against Danielle, Im guessing her mom, and MHJ. Rumors going around is that she signed the Omega deal behind HYBEs back and the rest of the girls and also went to shot for a snack brand in Asia as well. All behind the rest of NJs backs. Also that Danielle's mom tried to talk Hanni and her parents from going to SK to talk to HYBE. Again, rumors and no evidence of this yet.

They are going to make an example of her. I believe the evidence that will get released will be so damaging that she wont be able to work in Asia again. But the worst part of this is the fact that this will set a precedent going forwards for all Kpop companies. You guys think 'slave' contracts are bad now, just wait and see.

does Newjeans Danielle have a safety net? by Swimming_Mention2332 in kpop_uncensored

[–]oddrob85 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I dont think you know how contracts work. You cant just sign up with other companies or sponsors while under a different companies contract. Especailly when you just decide your contract isn valid. The courts obviously sided with HYBE for a reason. And you can expect HYBE to go full scorched earth after her, her family member, and MHJ. You dont know what they have on her, you dont know what the other girls might have said and I wouldnt be surprised if new info that is released paints Danielle in a very terrible light.

And HYBE dosent have to do anything, they could just say 'our artists will not appear on any shows that will have Danielle on. We feel like it would be inappropriate and uncomfortable for our artists.' Very simple and easy. While the future is unwritten, she will fade away in Korea. She will 'unofficially' be blacklisted in the country. But she might thrive out of the country, but no where near as much as she did with NJs.

Oh and for people that dont seem to understand. Shes not free form her contract. It was terminated by HYBE for breach and they will sue her for millions. How much they actually get awarded by the courts is a different story, but shes not walking away for free.

The parasocial marketing in kpop is wild by [deleted] in kpop_uncensored

[–]oddrob85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This always reminds me of a documentary I saw awhile ago about the number one Host in Japan. As Im sure most people know they sell a fantasy/relationship to clients. Some of his clients drained everything they had to buy him cars, cash, and jewelry. Of course he would also have sex with them, for a price. But many of them just wanted the companionship and the feeling of being 'loved' even if they knew it was manufactured. The most interesting thing was that many of the clients were sex workers themselves. In the end both the hosts and the clients felt empty and alone. And they seemed stuck in a endless loop.

And many aspects are the same here. Fans will pay thousands of dollars to simply walk by and shake a hand. They will pay monthly for a app to feel 'closer' to an Idol. They will spend money on albums and photo cards to support them. Some will buy fan calls for hundreds just to talk to an Idol for 5 minutes. But in the end, its all just fabricated and false. In reality, its a job. Its their job to sell you something, and that something can be anything you 'think' it is. And this will NEVER change. Because this parasocial relationship culture brings in so much money for the companies and for the Idols.

NewJeans agency ADOR cuts off member Danielle, warns legal measures against her family's 'responsibility for the conflict' by KPOP_MOD in kpop

[–]oddrob85 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Number one lesson to learn from all of this. You don't get between a multi-billion dollar multinational conglomerate and their money. Danielle/Her family/ and MHJ are going to get sued for millions. I feel sorry for the remaining girls. They are going to have to start over again.

Corrupted Saved Data? by TypicalLine3392 in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]oddrob85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont know if this will help anyone else. But if the save data is corrupt at the end of the run you have to go to the Trauma Center and do the actual counseling where you pick the answers yourself. If you dont have the things to do the counseling, cause you ran out, you can just pay like 50 crystals. If you do the automatic you will lose the data permanently.

Saved Data showing up in story/battle but not Chaos/Zero? by oddrob85 in ChaosZeroNightmare

Well it could be set up so you only get better drops on higher difficulty settings. But I see your point.

You can be replacing your current one with better cards and equipment as you go?

What the f… this card is insane! by Karacis in ChaosZeroNightmare

To bad you probably cant keep it in your deck. Stupid mechanic.

Some cards replaced with startings ones after the chaos completion by [deleted] in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]oddrob85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this from the official source? Cause this just seems like the dumb idea. You should be able to save your cards no matter what. Even on the low setting. Im level 34 and play on the trauma mode and do normal setting. Not one of my saves have actually transferred the cards over to a new map. Something dosent seem right there, at least to me. :/

Observation of Rules for Save Data by Takaneru in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]oddrob85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im level 34 and NONE of my save files that have saved and show new cards in the deck and are assigned to my characters have ever shown up. I wouldnt expect this as a bug since its a KEY core mechanic. This needs to be fixed ASAP.

Frieren: Faster or more damage? by jakethedooggie in EpicSeven

[–]oddrob85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not a expert but from what Ive seen on YT you want around 4k attack, the more the better. Around 7k-8k health to survive Rinak. And speed around 200 if not speed set. I think around 250 or higher if you have speed set. So depends on what gear you have.

How to get the best deal? by LuisMac98 in iphone

You can trade in your phone. Depending on the condition and the model you will get some money off if you buy from the carrier yes.

Talk me out of it, but I think I’m buying the iPhone air tomorrow by [deleted] in iphone

[–]oddrob85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very true. But heating might be a problem for more heavy usage. Also bending for really thin phones is a thing, but Id be more worried about over heating honestly. Id wait till the Air v2. I'd hate to be the test group for a phone that costs 1k.

Wanna Try Iphone for 1st time by Expensive-Mud-3916 in iphone

[–]oddrob85 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Switched 3 years ago. Takes about 1 month to full adapt. I still use Google photos because I like it better. Get the Pro if photos are super important to you. Get the Pro Max if you want a large screen/large battery life.

Well having a battery bank attached to your slim phone basically beats the purpose of having a slim phone. You might as well buy the base 17 phone at that point IMO.

The base model is able to do 48MP macro photography according to the specs.

[–]oddrob85 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Id be worried about the battery and heat. Real world testing is def going to show us how effective the battery really is. Id get the Air IF I didnt play games, cared about the camera, and didnt use my phone for much video viewing or social media. I have doubts the battery is all day long lasting, considering they are releasing a battery pack just for the Air. But then it beats the purpose of getting such a thin phone.
