FFT collectors edition sold out already... what a world. The figure they've done before already, the plush chocobos are neat but meh honestly.

Wow, $250....I saw the items and thought maybe $125? ..but good lord, what happened to "digital sales will pass the savings on to the consumer"? ....haha...now it's just tiers of expensive garbage.

Has anyone every went back to a past game with a collector's edition and said "I'd really like to get that item!" ...I can't think of a single noteworthy or sought-after collectors edition, years after the release.

Replying to my own post because this is truly insane. TMNT: Splintered Fate was released in 2023, ~21 months ago, and is being re-released with it's DLC as a DELUXE edition ($40) and a COLLECTOR'S edition ($99)....

You could say that about the entire 21st century so far.

That TMNT collector's edition looks pretty awesome though. I would never buy it but at least they are doing it right.

Not really, most of the included statues or merch in those sets are cheap mass produced crap. I guess if you into art books

Collectors editions selling out don't really mean much anymore and it's just expected now, it's mostly just scalpers buying them all out and reselling them on ebay for the next 2 years.

After being reccomended the n-th video bashing on Oshi no Ko, Ive decided to break my own rules of only reading completed stories and take a look on this manga.

Because Im genuinely curious if the story is really that bad or if it is just those zoomers being noisy.

And honestly, after three chapters, Im still not sure what this story is about. Feels like we are still being presented to the overall context.

not saying it is good or bad, but this story really started off differently of the rest.

15 chapters read. Personally I dislike stories about show business, idols and dafuq.

The story also had some supernatural themes that I feel like unnecessary and that loosen a bit the seriousness of the story.

Still, so far, pretty interesting story. The author made a wonderful work in world building, spending 10 chapters to tell the context, what I think pretty courageous, as nowadays kids can only wait half a page to get hooked.

The cast is pretty likeable too. I can see each one of the main cast with one or two qualities that makes me feel interested.

Im still looking forward to see where is the controversy of this. Im really enjoying looking forward to know if I will be betrayed and join the haters side, or if I will stand in defending the story.

28 chapters read, this is becoming less intereting for my tastes because it is going to a shonen and idol route, both troupes that I dont empathize with it anymore, but nothing to objectively complain about the series.

After this much and still not seeing what makes this story controversial, I remembered the title name. IDK if this is related or not with the actual story, but if it does, damn, the mangaka is surely taking his sweet time to build up the story.

I thought for sure "I lift heavy weights bro" Nynja would be on the stuff for life.

I have taken it off and on, I originally started because I was on statins for a while and some research suggested that taking creatine can help offset the negative effects of statins. I kept taking it off/on after but I honestly can't say I tell much of a difference in strength/feel/energy/etc. I know some folks swear it makes a difference but I couldn't find any real gains from it on the bike or in the gym.

I do use protein powder, though, because I have a hard time getting enough from my diet and it does seem to help my ability to strength in both areas. I can tell a difference if I don't use it, but it's hard to find protein powder that doesn't taste like ***, isn't full of sugars or weird ***, and isn't obscenely expensive. I was using some for years that did but they changed something and I can't use it anymore.

I'm glad you asked that -- Our adventurer just left Windurst to make the trek through La Theine Plateau to Port Jeuno. They were met by hordes of Quadavs along the way.

Vanadiel Yellow Flowers

Kweeeh

SH heard, but wasnt fully awake to understand.

Kweeeh, Kweeeh

What the hell? Is that a rooster crowing?

Kweeeh, Kweeeh, Kweeeh, Kweeeh

No, roosters dont make that sound.

His body was hurting but he understood that yell, even though unfamiliar, probably was telling him that it was time to wake up.

When he stretches his leg out of bed, he falls from a certain height, enough to cause him some damage.

Still confused, he struggles to try to make some sense of what was happening. Why was he sleeping that high? What was that noise?

Still not understanding, as his mind woke up, the most relevant questions started to appear in his head.

Where am I?

That question made a strong fear rise in his chest. But the worst was yet to come. The worst question still remained to be asked.

WHO am I?

Even with the dim light in that room, with his eyes still getting used to the morning darkness, he managed to spot a mirror.
Like a hungry dog ​​running for a piece of meat, he ran to the mirror, hoping to get answers that he couldn't get on his own.

But the answer came like a punch in the face. He got an answer, but for a minute, he also wished it hadn't come.

In the mirror appeared a rounded face, with hair forming a point upwards. It resembled an onion.

Slowly, but surely, an important answer came to his mind: his name.

His name was Nynja.

TO BE CONTINUED...

The USA doesn't just do weights and measures differently we do numbers differently too.

Here one billion = one thousand million, or 1,000,000,000. Many countries, and I guess that includes Brazil, use one million million as one billion, or 1,000,000,000,000.
