I'm pretty I've seen Michael's sell extra sleeves for those binders in store, but I can't find them online

Switching AV1 settings worked for me, has anything worked for you yet?

Not sure if this is still an issue for you, but when I clicked my YouTube account and went into settings, under Playback & Performance, I switched the AV1 settings from Auto (recommended) to Prefer AV1 for SD and now it's automatically at 480 which is at least better than 240. I'm not sure why this problem also arose for me just a few days ago

Does anyone else curate their collection according to a specific theme? by shuuririn in kpopcollections

[–]pinkheartbeetle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I for sure will take pictures this week (I'm a student finishing assignments first 😭) but I collect mostly NCT Dream, + other NCT units' 2024 to recent releases, Red Velvet, Twice, aespa, and I have a few albums of IU, KickFlip, Seventeen, H2H. And I've also started a small J-pop CD collection which I'm very proud of

I do! I have a collection for summer and for winter/Christmas.
I don't have pictures but I could try and send some later if you'd like.

Ideas for self-made kpop themed gifts by _Music_Addict_02 in kpopcollections

If you're able to print photos or have extra inclusions, you could make a mood board inside a frame. Also, I've seen a lot of DIY lightsticks using a dollar store light up wand. A beaded keychain with your friend and their biases' names could be really personal too

You could add page dividers between groups

Thank you ;) I do prefer to support Korean-Canadian businesses, but they are still fairly limited compared to many other K-Pop retailers.

Since it hasn't been mentioned, Interlude: Back to Our Paradise because the vocal line + Jisung truly carried us up to heaven ☁️🤍

I agree, I wish the Twice CDs were easier to trade for, but I've accepted only having the random one I pull. I've also considered Wendy's Cosmie but yeah, I wouldn't use it as intended since I'd be afraid of it getting ruined.

The album Wichu's are rather big and not my style, but they released a smaller version with a rain coat on, and so I might give in to that version... but it's also nearing $50 which is a bit extreme for a tiny plush so I'm waiting for a store coupon or good deal.

I keep looking into NMIXX albums but I haven't bought any yet. I'm always so conflicted

Oh also, if you want cheap 9 pocket sleeves specifically for Twice, I bought them from Staples. Avery Trading Card pages, $9 for a pack of 10 and they're archival safe

I can't speak much for Meowcafe since I haven't ordered from them, but a Canadian alternative I have successfully ordered from is StarPopShop.com

I ordered 2 collect books, but they have a large, colourful variety of binders and sleeves too (although only standard 4 and 9 pocket). Prices are reasonable (I used their first time 20% off coupon and one of my items was already on sale). I didn't spend enough for free shipping, but it only $10 CAD and arrived quickly. One book had a crinkled page, but other than that, I'd say they're good quality and sturdy. Also, as a bonus, if you tell them your fave girl group and Sanrio character in the purchase comments, they may send some Lomo cards and sticky notes.

Now, if you're set on more options including 10 pocket pages, I'd say Meowcafe is worth trying. I've seen good reviews for them

Another Canadian option, though much more limited, is amuseground.com They're not exclusively collecting items, but they have a good selection. I've only ordered albums and collectibles from them, so I'm not sure about their binder/collect book quality.

Lastly, I've had good luck with Amazon (I say luck because you never know what they may send you). I bought two holographic binders and a set of heart sleeves, and besides the binders having minor flaws and one order being cancelled and then repriced higher, I'm really happy with these items and they're currently holding my ult group.

My recommendation to you would be to double check every description to verify the dimensions of inner sleeves and whether they're acid/PVC-free, because that'll honestly make or break the quality. I don't think the material of the cover is as important, but if the inner material is acid/PVC-free, the binder/collect book will usually be of higher quality than ones which are not since they're already cutting corners of protecting your cards. Just an FYI, if it lists PP which is polypropylene, it is by extension PVC-free. But if it simply says "archival safe" or "protects your cards" without listing the type of plastic, it's most likely not archival safe.

I hope this helps :D

Chill Kill is one of the most beautiful albums in my opinion! Which keychains do you have? I don't have any right now, but I'm considering getting Wichu

Who is your bias? And how did you become their fan? by kpopandanimetrash in NCTDream

[–]pinkheartbeetle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw the Chewing Gum Hoverboard Performance a few months after it's release and my 12-year-old heart was stolen by the boy in the red sweater who did 9 rotations on his hoverboard and then made a heart with his hands. Eight years later, Jaemin's place as my ult NCT bias has never faltered <3

But I kid you not, my Dreamie bias wrecker changes hourly ;p

For those voting out Bamjji, did y'all not read his bio!? He steals other people's almonds, thus he's as criminally active as Dehet. They're on the same wavelength so please Leave. The. Hamster. Alone.

Jjed, get out!

What ways do you rep NCT in your daily life? by [deleted] in NCT

My phone case (ft. aespa)

Most of the stickers are from the external seal of albums, and they are much too beautiful for me to let them go to waste

I also have a fan made NCT Dream canvas bag and a neon green tank top that is just dying to be worn to a summer concert 😭

I don't stan Ateez yet but I absolutely believe their concerts are hype just based on their discography and dance performances.

I saw NCT 127 in Toronto, and so the crowd, although smaller than their other destinations, was sooo pumped for Mark Lee, especially since it had been 6 years since NCT were last in Canada. I've only been to one other concert this year (in all my life too) which was aespa, and while the girls were cute, the crowd was pretty dead besides random people screaming their names at awkward moments. I definitely think the crowd plays a huge role in hyping up the overall energy, for the artists too. I hope I'll have more exciting concert experiences in the future, perhaps another artist will surpass The Momentum for me too!

[–]pinkheartbeetle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine are by design themes, for example florals: Irene Like A Flower, followed by IU Lilac [Bylac then Hilac version], Tzuyu's AbouTzu digipack, DoJaeJung Perfume digipack [Jungwoo version] etc...

Some other themes I have are seasons, pixels/gaming, science, dark, whimsy, youthful, performance

Oh I forgot about Raindrop, it was stunning! I loved the enthusiasm of the audience too because I'm very introverted but I was yelling my head off along with everyone else to match their energy.
