Hey yall. Im new to mihon - keiyoushi, ive found some good extensions for my more normal manga and lots of more normal BL options, but im having a hard time finding any that have bara, i pulled up a list of recommended bara and was searching extension after extension for any of them and no luck....i just want my big manly man comics lol 😅
Does anyone know a good extension??
Heya, im just curious, I signed up for samsung care+ like 2 days after my 8 arrived, When I log into my account it says active but I havent had to do the device condition check thing? I had to on my new 7 so not sure why I wouldnt have to for the 8. Ive been waiting to use the stickys on my case until i do that.....anyone else not get an email for that???
I used to go to the roxy all the time for years, was a member, i loved it. Im happy they are having such success showing blockbuster movies, but i cant help but be disappinted in the number of indie/foreign films they completely skipped the last few years that before, they absolutley would have gotten.
Im so sorry, but personally I dont want to see big blockbusters on their little screens and mid speakers, and that seems to be their focus anymore. Sure they still do some old movies and stuff but its just not the same at all. :/
Just me?
Edit: Damn some of yall are acting like I said "fuck the roxy i hope it burns" lmao I still appreciate them immensely and go to things that interest me when i can, those offerings have just majorly dwindled in the last few years. I used to go probably once a week, now im lucky if i find two things a month to go see.
I love the festivals, and that they still play some throwbacks and such, but yall in the comments acting like nothing has changed are just saying that, it absolutely has. For better or for worse is completley subjective, but it -has- changed.
Hey gang
Long time dabber here, ive tried many methods and concentrates over the years but always fall back into my comfort zone.... A Quartz banger, and shatter hard enough that i can roll it in a ball and just dunk it in before throwing the carb cap on.
Its quick and easy and has been doing me right for years. Id obviously prefer the effect and taste of high quality concentrates but i always fumble with adding an extra tool to scoop and dab the concentrate. It just makes me clumsy, and throws off my timing and im just never at satisfied with that experience, so the trade off in quality for having an easier ritual has been fine for years.
However, my shop that had great shatter at a great price has closed and i cant find anything else that is the same quality at the same pricepoint. Lots of cheap shatter around but none that are as good as i was getting.
SO this is making me think about branching out to rosins/badders, but i alreeady know i don't love fucking with a torch/nail AND a dab tool, so im thinking of getting a Dr dabber switch 2.....i had been looking at a puffco as ive used them before but i would go thru the atomizers quick and really like that the dr dabber doesnt use them. I smoke a lot....
Before i go drop 400 bucks on one, does anyone have any advice to making the classic torch/nail setup work better/easier for me? Scraping off a scooper tool on the nail along with using the carb cap, i just have never been able to do it well..... End up wasting dabs or taking way too big of one on accident .
Thanks in advance if you read all this....a little rambly.
Hey gang, I'm in Missoula and have a vision for a tattoo, but I'm pretty familiar with the artists in missoula and looking around I don't see anyone who's work is quite what I'm looking for for this piece, so I'm reaching out to other towns to see if anyone has any reccs on their local artists? (No offense missoula artists! I have ink from many of you and am just looking for a style I don't see around here. <3)
I'm looking for monster tattoo, I have the general idea in my head but am super open to interpretations, I just want it colorful and bold and surreal.
These are some examples of the style of monster I'm thinking. Silly, Surreal, toothy, bold.
If anyone knows anyone with this style in MT, hell I'd even drive to Boise or spokane for the right artist.....let me know! Thanks!
Hey gang, just got my first dbrand case for the new fold 8. Love it so far, it feels great in the hand and it feels very protective. I really want to put a phone charm on but I don't love it coming out of the charging port like they sell little attatchers for...I'd love for it to come out of the top or the camera punch.
There are two little holes at the top for what I'm assuming are mics or speakers, if my charm has a thin enough cord to fit in those holes is there any reason not to use them for that?
Any ideas for using the camera area for this without having a little flap get in the way of the camera?
thanks for any ideas. My phone is so close to cute-maxxed I need it to go this extra step lol.
Hi I like x-men. Super happy with how my screens came out. Ill probably do it all again in a couple months but my little x nerd heart is happy for now
Hey gang, I am reading some of the x-runs I skipped back in the day, and just finished IVX (ugh) and am about to move on to the blue/gold/astonishing era, and before I go downloading dozens of single issues...... is this era readable by trade (well)?
Some stories do well in trade, and some really are better if you jump between the books as if you were reading on release.....can anyone clarify which of those two scenarios this era might be in? I'd prefer to do trades, but looking at reading orders, they seem to criss-cross a lot...so wondering if I should just bite the bullet and get all the single issues and put em in an order for myself in my app......
thanks in advance. I know this era isn't that well regarded either but man am I glad to be moving on from IVX
Hey gang,
I got my 8 yesterday and am loving it!
For me, reading comics/manga is the #1 reason I own a fold, and I was not seeing many posts about how western comics work on the new form factor, just manga... so I thought I'd throw some examples into the ether! Because my feelings are mixed!!!
For some background, I am coming from a Pixel 9 pro fold, and then a z fold 7, and now have the 8.
I mostly have used the marvel unlimited app, global comix, shonen jump, and CDisplayEX. I plan to set up mihon too but haven't done that yet.
I will admit, I am SLIGHTLY disappointed with how the new form factor works out for western comics. I love it for absolutely everything else I have done with the phone so far, but I do think it is a minor downgrade just for western comic apps specifically
Marvel Unlimited-
On my 7, in portrait mode the marvel unlimited app would fill the page and zoom just a bit, you'd have to scroll down a couple inches for the bottom panels but it was full screen, no black bars, and very very comfortable to read. Much better than panel mode, and easier on the eyes that when it shows the whole page with black bars.
On the 8, it is just full screen, it fits the screen size more, you see the whole page at once, but its smaller than on the 7 and depending on the book, the text can be a little small.... In landscape it is similar to the experience I described on the 7, but even more zoomed in with more downward scrolling, you may as well use panel view for that.
Global Comix-
This one is pretty much the same on both devices, just obviously a little smaller on the 8. I am already used to using panel view for most books on that app so that isn't a huge loss, but is definitely a little less comfortable to read than the 7 text size wise.
Shonen Jump-
Look, manga works great on this form factor it just does. No notes. even on the cover screen.
CDisplayEX-
This one was already quickly becoming my go-to, with Image leaving Globlal I've turned to the high seas for a lot of my comics....the reading experience on this app is so good. It fits to whatever screen you are using in a great way similar to how marvel worked for me on the 7. I will probably be getting rid of marvel unlimited and just read everything this way from now on tbh....its that much better.
All in all, I don't regret upgrading. The new form factor is -so- up my alley and comfortable for literally every single other function I use a phone for, and the comic experience is still -very- nice, especially using CDisplayEX, I just can't lie and say it is better than the 7.
I don't feel like doing a full AMA on the phone, but if you have questions specific to comic reading I'm happy to do some experiments and answer questions! Hope this helps some other comic geek that was on the fence!
Hey gang,
We have a tv delivery/haul away appointment tomorrow, and of course I have a sudden dental emergency and the only time my dentist can get me in is smack dab in the middle of the delivery window.
My husband will be home and can take care of it, but I wasn't sure if best buy asks for an ID for delivery appointments like that? We have the same last name, and I could leave him with a photo of my holding my ID, like -anything- to not have to reschedule this thing lol.
Am I overthinking it, or will this be an issue when they arrive tomorrow?
Hey gang,
I am extremely new to RPGs but am looking to get into the marvel universe RPG.
Are there any groups here for that game specifically? Or anyone around that plays that might be up for helping a newbie learn the ropes?
Open to a different scifi/horror/superhero game but not really interested in fantasy games like classed d&d and pathfinder. Im big into marvel, so that game interests me most.
Hit me up if youre interested!
Note: like i said. Im extremely new, so im not looking to be dm. Just a player.
Heya, I am thinking about getting a pair of freeclips 2 for me at work. I work in person customer service in a library, we are allowed to listen to earbuds, but I personally do not like wearing an airpod in ear while helping customers, It feels rude, and I don't think I can hear them enough through the buds. There is often lots of noise around me as well which doesn't help that either.
However I LOVE having background music, I listen to ambient techno and lo fi mixes all the time and it really helps me relax at work. Are freeclips 2 going to be right for me? I want to be able to hear my patrons clearly without being funnled through an airpod, and have my music lightly going all day. The goal is to not have to take them out for interactions at all.
Is this feesable? Good use case? Pretty close to pulling the trigger.....
Hey gang, I am in need of a new TV, and in -want- of a new gaming monitor. I have an idea to save some money on the monitor, I just want to check if my logic and understanding of the rewards and terms is sound......
I think I want to sign up for the BB creditcard, and buy the tv with it to get the 10% rewards, I'll pay off the tv that month so I'm not worried about the financing options. Then when the rewards come through I buy the monitor with the rewards $$ taken off of that purchase? Do I need to use the bb creditcard to use those rewards? or are they just linked to my BB account?
I'm thinking this is the right time because if those items go on sale for labor day, (the tv can't wait another month) I can come back and price match to get some $$ back right?
Thanks for any advice or reassurance that this is a good plan. I've heard the creditcard can be predatory but I think thats mostly if you do the financing and don't pay off within the stated period...right?
Hey gang, I have always bought phones from the carrier so I wouldn't have to pay it all at once....I'm on spectrum now so I have a deal where I can upgrade to a new phone at any time for a very low fee, it just restarts your payment plan for the new device.
I upgraded from a dying pixel fold to a 7 in february, fully intending on giving it back for an 8 when they come out. Well the time is almost here....and I suddenly am in a position where I could afford to pay off the rest of my 7.....would it make more sense to do that, and then have the phone available to trade in to get an 8 directly from Samsung? Or should I just use my anytime upgrade for it and stay on a payment plan? I'd prefer to just stay on the payment plan....but if there is some big perk to buying straight from Samsung or if there is a super crazy trade in deal or something...what do you think? I don't think I will be in a position to buy my next phone outright....idk. I'm torn but ultimately want to save money on these very expensive devices.
Let me know your thoughts......
Hey gang sorry for another dispensary post....
Im on the hunt for a shop that sells packs of small pre rolls.
I was getting these 5 or 10 packs of .5g pre rolls for like 30/40$ and they were my absolute favs. I never need a full gram j at once. My shop stopped selling those and instead just have loose .5g guys that are $7 a pop with no discounts for buying a bunch. Lamesauce.
So im on the hunt for somewhere else I can get a similar deal.... I know of a few places that do 2 packs but id love to find 5 or more packs. 10 was awesome.
Plz dont tell me to roll my own. I have hand coordination issues and packing cones is really tough for me.
Thanks for any reccs
Hey gang, I just finished invincible after reading it slowly for a long long time, I have read a lot of other stuff but I like having a big long series like that to go through in between shorter/new stuff. I thought I was going to do spawn next, but I'm like 6 issues into the compendium and really not vibing with it the way I thought I would...thinking of trying something else instead but IDK what!
I love superheros, but I have done a massive deep dive on most of marvel that I'm interested in I think...big x men, FF, and magic adjacent fan in that universe.
I like some DC but have a harder time with it than marvel, I also do not currently have dcu, but I do have global comics and MU.
For Indies I read lots of horror (monster based especially) but I'm open to comedy too. I think the only genre I really don't like has been like gritty espionage, ed brubaker type stuff.
some favs are Something is killing the children, feral, walking dead, ice cream man, crossed, a lot of the godzilla comics, saga, I hate fairyland, lock and key.
I'd love another long, complete series like invincible or walking dead to work through over a long period again, but anything more than like 5 volumes would be great.
Any good reccs? Thanks!
Anyone able to find the new lime slush alani flavor anywhere? I have a friend out of town whos seeing it everywhere but i havent seen it at any of the gas stations or stores ive been to yet.... Dying to try it.....
Hey gang, I've been in the mood to play a shooter for the first time in a long time. I used to play some left 4 dead, and I've played some FPS rpg type games like bioshock, but I've never played a call of duty, halo, doom any of that.
I've done some research and narrowed it down to 4 options, depending on the steam sale today I might pick up all 4, but I'm not sure what to start with? My PC currently has room for one call of duty game at a time, those bad boys are huge.
The 4 games I've looked at are Doom and Doom Eternal, and then The remake of call of duty modern warfare, and black ops cold war.
I'm NOT interested in online multiplayer, only solo player content. I'm super torn on which route to go, doom or COD. Any thoughts on a mostly noob? I think I'm leaning towards doom but IDK why.
Thanks for any input.
Hey Gang,
My 72 year old mother is looking to move to missoula from Hamilton, and would love to buy rather than rent but has limited budget. I have looked at mobile homes before for myself but with the way those have been going around the country and even in MT, I am really hesitant to get tangled up in one. However, I've seen a lot of trailers come and go off the market in Katoonah Lodges, which is a 55+ community. Compared to the other parks in town where the trailers do not seem to sell, these do. Does anyone have any intel on that park's management? Are they decent? Would it be a safe bet for my mom to buy a house in there and not have the whole lot be sold next year or something?
Realistically trailers are her only option if she wants to buy, and from my limited knowledge and observations this place seems okay.....I .would just love some reassurance before we start seriously looking at anything.
Thanks for any input.
