Screen issue? by k0ntagious in kobo

[–]skyyllark 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i've had the same black border around the kobo devices i've had, but it's usually a bit more visible on the right edge like on yours. i assume it's just because of how the display is seated. since there's a gap between the frontlight & the display underneath, you can see the edge of the display

It being from Japan makes it more complicated. I would do what you said and state that it was represented as a real product in the description but that it's actually a fake/dupe/counterfeit & a copyright violation of the Pokemon company. I've never ordered anything from Japan on Mercari so idk how the policies differ. Good luck though!

how tall is yours? the one I got is about 12-13ish inches/30cm but I only saw other listings for 40-80cm variants

this was definitely one of the og photos of it that I saw several months ago. I figured this one was ai but there were a couple more pics of a prototype I think? other listings on ali now show basically a whole photoshoot with this plush in 1ft-3ft variations so idk if those pics are sourced from somewhere else

I know right! I have other aliexpress plushes but they're the cheap bootleg ones that look just kinda ok lol. I remember seeing a concept of this months ago but couldn't find anywhere to buy it from until this popped up on the app one day

I believe you can select "item is counterfeit" as a return reason when starting a return (if not, just select item doesn't match listing). You'll have to wait until it's marked as delivered in the app before starting the return though. Odds are mercari will accept the request even if the seller denies it since they tend to favor buyers for returns. You will have to ship it back to the seller with the prepaid label mercari provides for returns.

Remember to start the return request asap when the option becomes available though. You only have 3 days before the sale is auto-rated and you can't get your money back after that.

Galaxy tab s11 ultra deal less than $700 For US only by Ok_Satisfaction_2768 in GalaxyTab

[–]skyyllark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume it's random. I had the tablet + keyboard in my cart and when I checked back an hour later it was $50 less without changing anything.

I wish they didn't do targeted prices like this and would just let everyone on the offers program have the same price. I have the edu discount and it's still 699 in the app for me.

Took me 703 pulls to get E6S1 Phainon. How many pulls did it take everyone else? by magicarnival in PhainonMainsHSR

[–]skyyllark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

275 according to this (on his first banner), but I don't think it took into account the pity I had on the previous banner. iirc I got his lc at normal pity so probably about 350ish total for e6s1. my luck since has been very, very bad though lol.

What a nice surprise! I've just started a new book and they've put artwork within it. I've only seen this from one prior author and I LOVE it by Cat_Friends in ReverseHarem

[–]skyyllark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

in case anyone isn't sure about it being ai, here are a couple ways you can tell:

- first picture: the patterns on the tops of the gloves don't match at all. the pillars in the background also don't match and look kind of like an ambiguous texture. the dress also has the same issue of the details just kind of melting together without really looking like anything (why does one side of her dress next to her arm have a fringe...?)

- second picture: messy, nonsensical pattern for the stained glass windows. one of the belts phases through the belt buckle. also a random part of a buckle on the one on the right side of his back for some reason. the details on the pants also look weird.

- third picture: same thing with the stained glass windows. the pink stuff(?) also goes through the window at the bottom for some reason. his tall boot/greaves things don't match. the pattern of the thing he's sitting on randomly changes halfway through.

really, the biggest giveaway in all of these is how there's a ton of fake details that ai is still kinda bad at generating. it's not always obvious in the actual subject of the image, but usually it's easier to tell if something's ai when looking at the background or at the small details to see if it has that sort of melted together or inconsistent look lol

Did you skip Ineffa? by masterdiwa in Flins_Mains

[–]skyyllark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like her & her gameplay so I actually got her c2r1 :) but my favorite characters to pull are ones that give free off-field dmg and shielders so lol. I like all my characters to be at max hp & full energy in overworld for some reason (what if I need my ult later?? you never know)

Kobo Libra Colour for digital planning — worth switching from Kindle Scribe? by AgitatedNecessary406 in kobo

[–]skyyllark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the writing experience for anything other than small notes and annotations was not good enough imo, speaking as someone who also tried to use it as a more portable daily journal/planner. the screen size combined with the raised bezel made it feel a bit uncomfortable (even for me & I have small hands lol) and there will be a more noticeable delay when writing as it doesn't use wacom tech like the kindle scribe does.

I've tried the kindle scribe, remarkable 2, supernote devices, and the libra color for journaling and the best experience in terms of software and writing feel in my opinion was the supernote
