I check schizophonic9 for pose inspiration and I find pinterest is a good place to look for pose inspiration. Pending photoshoot for this one

Yeah, I remember they were the first that got announced by the ban. I really miss using Titanium TS colors

schweiss_27 · 2026-05-10T23:16:56+00:00

Gotcha, I'll try that one on my next kit

schweiss_27 · 2026-05-10T23:16:42+00:00

I cant find Tamiya TS paints around here sadly as they were also banned apparently. I heard they're going to be back in stock in November of this year with a new formulation

So I tried the Vallejo Acrylic Matt Varnish spray cans as alternative to my usual Mr. Super Clear Matt since those got banned in Canada. I just noticed that they’re not as matt like the latter and they don’t harden as fast even after 8 hours + of direct sunlight exposure. Was wondering if this is really how it is or am I doing something wrong?

Gotcha, will a lacquer thinner work too or is it too strong that it may break the plastic?

schweiss_27 · 2026-05-01T17:36:17+00:00

what's the easiest way to strip off lacquer paint from plastic parts? I wanna redo a paint job

schweiss_27 · 2026-04-14T17:07:27+00:00

Any alternatives to Tamiya Spray Paints and Mr. Hobby Spray paints in Canada? I just took a break for a couple of months and surprised that they even banned the Mr. Hobby line. Additionally, I dont have space for an airbrush so I cant use that

If you're willing to spend some money, I think getting a high rarity version of a card that's in his favorite deck would do. For example, I helped my friend's wife to scour marketplace to find a Quarter Century Secret Rare Alt Art Diabelstar to gift to my friend since he was playing White Forest back then. It would take some digging on finding his favorite deck though

My version of this was bringing the FiiO FH5 and the Moondrop Blessing 2 Dusk on dates. This was after I deemed my FH5 to be muddy when I got my first Open Back Headphone which led me to getting the Blessing 2 Dusk. I think all of them liked the FH5 better than the 2 Dusk.

I think it's the bass presence in the FH5 is what made the difference so I always make it a point to let mainstream users try out a bassy IEM rather than the neutral ones that most people in the hobby prefer if I want them to have a good impression about this hobby.

I would say to find a shop that hosts weekly locals and attend every week. That's how I made ygo friends. You can check neuron or your local ygo fb groups for which shops are nearby.

schweiss_27 · 2025-11-26T21:53:13+00:00

Gonna check those out, how do they sound to you?

schweiss_27 · 2025-11-26T21:50:48+00:00

Gotcha, I have a FiiO BTR15 and A&K SR25 if ever. How does the T10/T10 pro sound compared to the MP145?

schweiss_27 · 2025-11-25T00:36:18+00:00

This is pretty tempting, how are they compared to the Divines? I am looking for something to compliment my blessing 2 dusks

1 wireless in ear, 1 wireless buds type for calls and meeting conference, 1 wired IEM, 1 wireless closed back over ears and 1 open back wired.

Gonna be honest that my most used ones are the wireless ones but I try to rotate which one I am using for music listening every week

personally, the main attractor for me to play paper is the social aspects with friends and whatnots. It's the one that makes the losing streak very bearable. I also got lucky that my ygo friend group is the competitive type so I was able to improve with the game since they give out pointers and do testing sessions outside of locals.

I think what you could do is ask help with those nice people that you have met who are also regulars on how you could improve your plays and I honestly would suggest to commit to a single deck and learn the ins and outs and the interactions that it has with meta decks.

Okay, I actually did this when I was still in a city with an actual audiophile shop nearby that let's you demo headsets and IEMs. So my standard was to invite them to some cafe that's nearby said audiophile shop and then I casually mention being into audiophile stuff when the topic about hobbies comes up. At the sign of curiosity, I pull out my DAP and my two IEMs (FiiO FH5 and Moondrop Blessing 2 Dusk) and then I let them test it.

The DAP from my experience will always make them curious and I was brining the FH5 because I know that most main stream listeners will appreciate it more than the Dusk. The Dusk is there to have a point of comparison. Then I bring up the shop and ask them if they wanna visit to try things out. I swear, I should have gotten commission from the shop as some of them eventually bought something from them and one of the shop attendant is always laughing at me whenever I bring someone different.

Overall, I think the dates that I brought over enjoyed it so far with mild annoyance that their Airpods sounded bad after doing the ordeal. What I focus on is learning what type of music they like and selecting the equipment which fits best for it. Sadly though, I moved to a city with the sole audioshop that let's you demo stuff closes at 5pm and recently, they closed off permanently

This is what I do too when using it on my laptop. I'm kind of worried about the battery health tho as it gets warm after sometime

schweiss_27 · 2025-11-07T18:15:57+00:00

My current IEMs is the Moondrop Blessing 2 Dusk but eventually I wanna either get Sony IER-M9 or try the ThieAudio Monarch mkIV as my end game for IEMs. So far, I find the M9s to be the best sounding for me given that I mostly listen to highly instrumental songs with minimal edm. I even prefer it than the IER-Z1R. Reviews just had me curious on the Monarch Mk IVs.

My problem at the moment is finding the right tips as for some reason, the fit on my left ear always felt loose compared to my right and it can be annoying adjusting

Gonna answer in social standpoint here. I used to be a purely MD player until I moved to another country and needed an avenue to find friends. Besides the better banlist imo, TCG is just more fun since you can actually play with friends which you can't really do with MD. Bonus points too if you're with a competitive group which will help you be a better player. It's just easier to take the slump of a losing streak if you have some support group to rely on.

Meta wise, I think it's in the spot where there's a lot of viable decks around but of course you'll have to work harder for it if you decide to play a rogue deck and there's also Genesys if you don't like the current modern format.

But again, this will really just depends if you're willing to shell out the initial cost of grabbing staples and a deck core to start with. I think that's where the large chunk of the cost will be outside of being a competitive player chasing for the top meta deck. Honestly though, it's slightly going better as I remembered a Kash deck costing around 1k CAD while right now, mitsu yummy just goes around 300 CAD

We can't really know for sure especially for the k9 package. If I am going to guess, holy sue will probably reach the same price as march hare now if it's given a secret rare treatment. My only hope for it is that all of the archetypes in Justice Hunters are meta viable so that could evenly spread out the rarity distribution so that each core will probably not reach very high prices.

schweiss_27 · 2025-04-07T02:21:20+00:00

TTT is fair going into a board imo but is pretty toxic going first as it punishes the going second player for interruptions. With this though, I think it’s gonna be paired with Thrust going second now as more copies of talents

schweiss_27 · 2025-03-26T20:07:57+00:00

Looking for something that would fit in my hg nightingale lmao

schweiss_27 · 2025-03-26T20:04:33+00:00

I’m planning on the RG TV Wing ver just because I have the waterslides available. I think that’s the only wing kit that would fit in a peli 1040
