It can be tempting to respond to people with pithy soundbites, especially when you’re annoyed with them, but resist the urge. It’s quite obvious when you’re just saying things and there’s no substance behind it.
You need to be careful to say what you mean and have it be meaningful and appropriate to the situation at hand else, why speak?
My second episode in this series. I cover how, by rising through the ranks of a bad system, it’s near impossible to not be shaped and ruined by that system. Whatever ideals you might have once held can become twisted and you become what you once hated.
I have a new series on Youtube I’ll be doing highlighting some of the things managers like to say that are often misplaced, tone-deaf, and lead to trust and respect issues. Not that these things can never be said, there’s a right and wrong way
Bottom line, I found out my card collection was worth a LOT which made me nervous. I couldn't afford to insure them properly and I didn't want the risk of them getting stolen, damaged, etc. So I sold them and made enough money to buy my wife the truck she'd always dreamed of!
Obviously, my process might not work for you the same way, but I'm sharing my story in case it helps you sell your own. Use it to inform your own good decisions and good luck!
To help people out, I've posted my "boilerplate" description text below. Additionally, all photo and video credits for images/videos I used are below as well.
Check out my t-shirts, mugs, and other designs below. And you can see my eBay store to see what else I have left:
I'll KEEP THIS SHORT SO PLEASE BE SURE TO READ IT:
I'm selling off my collection from when I played/collected in the 90's. I'm not a store or anything so I haven't professionally grade these, but I've used the online guides to approximate as much as I can. You can see the photos for yourself and if the card value is high and you want other pics, let me know. Please keep in mind that some cards are now authenticated with eBay authentication to confirm the description matches the card so shop with confidence (check for the "Authenticity Guarantee" seal on the post)!
Higher dollar cards will generally ship USPS Priority mail, but shipping is free so it's at my discretion. If you have any special requests, let me know in advance, but keep in mind that might introduce addition cost depending on the request.
I reserve the right to cancel transactions from buyers who have questionable feedback, history, or are otherwise dubious at my discretion. Likewise, demands or changes that aren't arranged beforehand are cause for cancellation.
I think that covers it. Just holler if you have more questions
One of the more useful things you can do in the game is modify the sounds. Make the objective noise louder (and easier to find), quiet the ones that are weirdly too loud, or silence the ones that annoy you endlessly. Or, if you want to have fun, replace the sounds with anything you want! Goats, Cats, Laser beams… whatever!

But I’m happy with it in the end! It’s mostly the same for any of the servers, but I play on Rebirth (https://play.cityofheroesrebirth.com/public/) if you want to check it out!

I'd been thinking about this pun for a while – mixing the giant Ohmu from Nausicaä with Omu-rice (egg and rice omelets from Japan). I set to work designing it and think it turned out really well!
Check it out on Teepublic.com! The default link goes to the tan color, but I like the soft-green best.

A few years back, I bought a Razer mouse and was floored to discover that it required an online account signup with Razer just to download the drivers to make it work. Their extortive practices weren't the end as the rubber grip on the mouse fell off a while later while Microsoft and other brand mice lasted for seeming centuries without issue.
Then I spent a week looking for and evaluating different keyboard options. I had a particular set of requirements that I hoped the Razer would meet: quiet, NOT tall-mechanical-clicky keys, individual color, color profiles, and so on. Razer did indeed have these things, but they also had:
Bottom line, the Razer had very similar features to the Corsair at half the price. But the differences came through clearly in the quality and their insistence on roping you to their stall. I'd always had a positive impression of Razer in the past, but the past few years and the handful of devices I've tried have been a huge disappointment. Fool me twice…

 |  | For full disclosure, FFX and 7 were my favorites, 9 and 12 were decent, 13 was barely playable, and 8 was my least favorite. If that lineup doesn't match yours, my review may not mean much to you. Fair warning |
Final Fantasy XV is, at it heart, "A Jpop Band Tours Yosemite national park". You spend essentially the entire time driving and running back and forth, back and forth almost endlessly through the same terrain and areas. Yes, if you follow the main story over everything else, you see some neat maps and enemies, but the majorty of it is repetitive and far more "80 hours in a car with your family on summer vacation" than actual fantasy.
There's almost no sense of discovery because the game is completely open and you can pretty much see everything from the very start (and have to criss-cross it endlessly because of it – very much like FF8). Combat is moderately interesting, but I never felt like I was building power and capability like what made FF13 finally interesting (and most other FF games of course). As someone who likes to perfect characters and unlock new skills and powers, this game felt like you were only in control of the main character and the rest were pets that you could sometimes switch to when you got bored of Broody-mc-popstar's endlessly repetitive battle style.
The game honestly felt flat and dull. When something really interesting actually happens, you're left wondering why and maybe a little excited to find out, but you're locked out of most of the map and are stuck on a luge heading for the games highly mediocre ending. I guess what I'm really trying to say is that you could get about as much enjoyment from the game by watching other people play it on Youtube for a few weeks as you would from actually playing.
I can see that the Steam version has had some major updates (prominently displayed flying car) which is clearly their attempt to polish a turd. If you think that's good enough (or if the price is so cheap, it's worth it to you to find out for yourself) go for it. Otherwise, there are far, far better games to play.
