Off Topic / Re: If you were marrying Kratos. Would you opt for a prenuptial agreement?

« on: November 20, 2024, 03:39:06 pm »

He is the primary provider and also fathered Atreus solo. The courts may also take into account that he climbed Mt Olympus barefoot and slayed hades. Which makes his work ethic higher than yours. Courts will side with him in matters of child welfare. He most likely will take your home either judicially like adults. Or by force.   Prenup protects this.


However.


If you sign a prenup. You can't push to aquire his 3 headed dragon, his axe that uses powers of greek gods coursing through pulsing blue energy pockets to always return when thrown through demi god immortal skull and of course his ragnorokian armor plates made of endangered pelts of arctic beasts he slayed years prior. Which he may or may not retain depending on if you decide to blackmail him with a domestic violence angle. As he has attacked maybe 50,000 people before. Judges side with this.  (Please note Kratos never layed a hand on you. He was a dignified gentlemen) f you play the long game. And photograph instances when atreus was in danger. Which isnt hard to do. And dont sign a prenup. Kratos may face his most dreaded boss yet.  Divorce court litigator.  But thats what we call in the private sector. "Mud ball" and babe ruth never did play that way.

Courts will grant you a permenent restraining order if he does decide to get boisterous. And will consider him a flight risk.

Id sign the nup. I dont know the man so close as yall do.

Prenups protect riches prior to the two of you being married. if you where more poor than Kratos you basicly gain nothing by going for the prenup route. I don't think the average guy has close to the riches and high end connections that kratos eventually gets. your way better off not signing anything.

Protection for what? prenups basicly means you get what was signed up for at the start of marriage. which is either nothing or just a little as following the contract (If kratos was feeling mercifull which ain't happening). cause it ain't going to be close to 50/50 it's meant to keep assets seperately in how both people came in.

If I where Kratos I'd defo want a prenup, don't want to waste resources on lowly vermin. and in the rare scenario that you where richer I'd just force said spouse to forget about a prenup or kill em otherwise cause life just be that way

At the end of the day though, Kratos being the primary provider basicly guarantees kratos to be richer/ higher value than you so it's basicly just keeping you poor or being at the mercy of Kratos by obeying said man to sign said prenup as a good little sub should  Once the guy pumps and dumps you, you're in for a rough ride. Poverty awaits by signing that prenup It sure is a good thing you've protected Kratos's wallet, made stuff allot easier for the guy.

I just wish I knew if demo counted or not.

@dhaabi at what number of games am I now exactly? I cna use that number to find out if the demo does count or not  since I have 32 umd movies  so I should take that number you cna give me add the umd movies and compare to the current displayed number

I don't have that kind of back-end information to know specifically if Demo items count toward the badge total, so wait until an Admin can reply.

considering they are count seperate don't think they do, that being said in this case the demo's wouldn't get the guy over the 4K mark.

umd video's aren't demo material but they ain't games either so also not counted

I cannot attest for why the barcode was initially changed however I have provided the matching front image for the specific listing based on the barcode provided (Example listing: www.ebay.de/itm/296729807963 ).

In terms of what takes precedent, the barcode is what is relied on for what version a item is as its the clearest indication of what an item is meant to actually be. In many instances there is a mish-mash of information which needs to be corrected to a specific version.

I have not denied any image relating to these items and welcome anyone to add improved images where possible. A lot of the items listed can be difficult to gather great images of due to either their rarity or simply good images not being available at the time. Frequently I revisit items I have created when I become aware of a better image available to me.

Completely understand your point regarding users possibly having the wrong item in their collection now due to the barcode change 2 years ago. Perhaps it would be better to of merged users to the relevant version before the barcode change however I have no context as to what caused the changed and wasn't even a moderator at that point of time. *Edit* Possibly the back image?

Also, I get that it can be frustrating when an edit gets denied but please don't take it personally in any way. Frankly, you provide some of the better edits on the website. Having high quality Edits and scans submitted. It was great having edits come through for the guide section for example. The odd few edits may inevitably get denied (I was posting on the error thread almost every week so I know how that feels haha) but its just something that can happen with these niche items.

Back art is original to the entry but the EAN added later was wrong. I changed the barcode to what was on the back art. The entry is for an English version as it comes with the English carts (E prefix) instead of the German cards (G prefix).

After evaluating the back image, I have come to the conclusion that the image is a composite. It sources from a warez forum that originally hosted the images on Imageshack, but all of the links are broken. It appears to be a combination of the English back but with the German barcode. Since the entry was originally believed to be the English version, the barcode should be changed back to the one somnlegacy used: 4012927023570

Swapped the entries.
- made 78152 the UK version
- made 270641 the German version

As a side note: Grok won't try to read the barcode because it is too small, but Gemini did try and came up with this: 096279045878

noticed this way later. but this is very appreciated. Good stuff

remasters, Hd collections retro collections on current gen consoles etc it's all a waste of money to me. just used to make one spend extra money on a game they already played. unless the game looks totally different or the collection includes some exclusive arcade ports that I couldn't get elsewhere ye ain't gonna see me. or ofcourse an official translation but that's rarely the case with these kinda things anyway.

I really see no value in buying le megaman/ castlevania collection on the last 3 gens of consoles everytime it's a way of life for some ain't joining that hype train it's just a waste of money imo 

If possible I'll try to get it on original hardware and play it that way. and if not I just got other games to play and miss out. Don't really need to go out of my way to play these old games on current gen hardware it doesn't do much for me less fun. Gotto experience it on the og or a port on older hardware. playing an arcade game on a ps4 or switch it just ain't hitting for me I'd rather just emulate at that point.

european here. but use a vpn which could also do stuff

Diddy + elections F'in up US-Internet? 

The problems the site's been experiencing have been recurring since January and aren't exclusive to the United States, so no.

I've also noticed certain times when the issues are more likely to occur, namely the weekend in the morning time based on US time. The more active you are on the site, the more likely you're to experience loading issues.

This I agree with

Unless I'm overlooking some small detail, then I see no reason for that artwork to be rejected if it's submitted to the correct entry.

it's to this listing which currently has incorrect german front cover art. while the rest is english including backside and field description

https://vgcollect.com/item/78152

also the supposed barcode for a right english version already has a seperate entry with different barcode so mine being rejected makes no sense

https://vgcollect.com/item/270642

I've already addressed how the above artwork is incorrect for 78152. So, if it's submitted to that entry, it will be rejected a third time. All items with barcode 4012927024300 feature the "Achtung!" label and a USK rating.

change the barcode than cause all the other info for said listing is for the english version.

Most people who added the game to the collection have an english version only a fraction has german
it's the most popular listing for this game

the listing has barely an german info in it aside from the barcode and front pic that was altered

I tried to edit this yu gi oh duelist roses listing with the correct front yet it was rejected since a german version has a sticker on the front

However this listing is the english version with english backside

https://vgcollect.com/item/78152

If you take the time to read the entry details, you would see that the artwork you're trying to submit is incorrect as it is for the UK variant. Here is an eBay listing for the item with barcode 4012927024300.

Meanwhile, here is an eBay listing for the "card text left" German variant. And here is an eBay listing for the "card text left" British variant.

However, this is not to say that the entry names for this group of items are ideal. From my observation, 78152 and 270645 should have two entry name descriptors (e.g. (card text left / Achtung!) and (card text left / Deutsche Version)) while clarifying in the Description field that they were released in Germany. 270641 (and 270642) should omit the TLD. I will let nathan776 handle those actions, though.

can people actually use some glasses back there before they reject stuff?

I hope you're able to get your prescription soon.

can you explain to me what the difference is between my submission



and the pic that's now chosen?



aside from this new pic being trash quality

regardless if you take 10 seconds to look for english versions online left versions are pretty common

The english cover should be superior over the german one. this ain't a german version. the current front cover is wrong

Video Game Database Discussion / Re: Neo Geo Dog-tag Titles

« on: October 23, 2024, 01:03:38 pm »

My edit to change Ghost Pilots for the U.S. Neo Geo AES system was declined.

Some Neo-Geo titles had a North American exclusive version called the Dog-Tag series. They were differentiated from their non-Dogtag counterparts with a Black border on the box art, and had the Dog-tag logo on the spine. This is an important distinction for collectors, and we should be allowed to have this variant in the database.

There were 21 Dog-Tag titles for the Neo-Geo AES system. More information can be found here: https://www.neo-geo.com/forums/index.php?threads/dog-tag-aes-games.87498/

https://vgcollect.com/item/9768

If your trying to edit this version I can understand why it's declined cause this is also a western version that exists. have seen that one multiple times in the wild.

Just make a seperate version of this blackborder dogtag version and you should be fine

Don't try to alter already existing versions unless they are incorrect. if you got a new variant just make a new listing.

I can hardly imagine it being from a zx spectrum game, the music was kinda barebones. Maybe on an amiga but the zx spectrum was very limited.
