ONE PIECE TCG

After spending a few hundreds on several card games recently

I think the ONE PIECE TCG would be the way to go moving forward

It definitely has memory value for me, especially since I enjoy watching the anime since young

Lots of nostalgia when I hear their OPs & EDs....

Anyway, after comparing with several other TCGs, I will try to do a quick summary

For their art wise, there are lots of dedicated original artwork illustrated for the card games only

This makes it worth collecting, combined with their highly sought after Manga Ver. cards

and different Special Ver. cards such as Wanted Poster SPs & etcs.

These special cards are really beautiful and holds high value

I would say their prices will definitely spike in the future, especially their booster boxes / cases

Also with the popularity of the anime among global audiences, the ongoing stories

I think the future sets are looking to get more crazy

Imagine when the Rocks Pirate, God Valley, Elbaf, all these manga arcs and characters

 are being introduced into the cardset as SP rares in the future....

Definitely a lot of hype for fans and collectors to look forward to

Comparing to other TCGs

Final Fantasy I would not recommend

Though I admire their cardback qualities

Their card arts are mostly just recycled from their game's archive

Like captured footages from their in-game CG, turned into cards

These are the worst

For Digimon TCG, its great actually

The cards are not too crazy in price too, if you were to collect

With tons of original illustrated card artworks

So far I got the best luck in pulling from them

But I think I've gotten my fill, and since I'm not playing

I don't think I will want to keep spending on them

For other card games

Vanguards have pretty cool artworks

Lots of awesome creatures and characters

But not playing, so yeap, not gonna continue buying

I've already gotten enough cool cards that I'm satisfied with

Then of course, about Magic the Gathering, MTG

I've definitely played enough for my fill last time (laugh)

I know the Secret Lairs are going for tons of cash grabbing reaching into different genres

But you know, totally not interested

The FF Collabs seems cool, but the arts are okay for me

The prices are kinda too overpriced, like Pokemon (woops)

But this game is very playable, and with the player base

Only whether you like playing or not

For me I just don't spend on physical magic cards after transitioning to MTG Arena

And I don't even play it nowadays

Only hopped back a little to craft some FF MTG cards and played a little Brawl

And its enough for me

Had my fill I guess

Finally gotten these Sengoku Taisen cards today

Though I can't play with them

Oh well, just admire their awesome artworks

Just bought a box yesterday

Its a terrible box, but I've tried to make it to good use

I've actually labelled all the packs with numbers from 1 to 24

And did a tabulation of which packs actually yields the Secret, SR, R, Leader & Foil Don

I've gotten the statistics and used them to pick out the packs from new boxes at mart

Unfortunately, didn't hit.

But, I think I should do a  +1 - 1 with my numbers

Count from the Front, and from the Back

But due to financial contraints, I can't buy anymore

Oh well, next time

Another advice for beginner collectors or buyers

Don't really buy boxes or packs from Hako Outpost

Where people rent spaces of glass cabinet to sell stuffs

Because most of these boxes and packs are already filtered out

The sellers are definitely doing to earn positive value

Especially for ONE PIECE, where the SP cards are highly valued

Ratio is like 1:6 or more cases, which is roughly 1 in 72 Boxes?

Once found, people would definitely be confident to sell off all the remaining boxes

Most likely they already opened up the sought-after secrets or special cards in their case

And sold the rest of their boxes as such

Same for the box packs, pulled the wanted, and sold the rest of the packs as loose packs

Its even more expensive than their MSRP price

I've spent $85 for a crap box, where the pre-order value of a box is around $50

So the best would be to go down to a dedicated TCG Cardshop

Which I just found a new one, so near my place

Selling boxes at awesome MSRP prices

Looking forward to visiting and perhaps asking around learning to play ONE PIECE

So yeah

 

八戒长肉了！

当时应该去太早了，造型还没弄好。。。。哈哈哈

中秋

 

中秋节快乐

今晚的月亮很圆，很漂亮

没什么吃月饼了，因为大多都很甜，然后也是加工食品

不太健康，也不太想吃了

最近发现自己也有点沉迷在买游戏卡之中

虽然买的都是不太贵的，但积少成多，再继续就会是一笔数目了

发现这个习惯好像也不太好

觉得自己还是要注意花费

最近好像每个休日都会想买几包来开

不然感觉少了什么。。。有种说不出来的好与不好的感觉。。。

终于碰到一间不用 APP 就能购买的 luckin coffee

味道还真不错，只是价格也便宜不到哪里

试过了 可以了

有几首歌其实我很早前就弄到了一半

但累了，时间不早了

就没弄完，想存好下次弄

但直到现在我还是提不起精神去弄

所以我还是比较适合一次性的弄完

不然感觉和劲，容易跑掉

The Moment

 

之前提到的

公园现在开始中秋佳节灯光表演与节目了

原本还想明天再来

但交通灯的安排指引我来这公园

那就来了

因为知道会有很多人，犹豫要不要周日再来

但还是庆幸今天来了

因为我觉得自己的性格还蛮着急的

很多事情想到的都想挤进一天做完

其实也没有不好。。。就很活在当下的感觉吧

好花难种不常开，

少年易老不重来。

人生不向花前醉，

花笑人生也是呆。

近来的很多的引导都是，想要做什么就去做

不要拖，不要等

就行动吧

看了来自 NAFA 和 UAS 的一些漂亮女舞者的表演

想认识认识交友。。。（笑）

原来她们就是我先前在公园里看到在彩排的那群人

     

   

收集了不少喜欢的艺术卡片

但是得到后就会有种，不够满足的满足（？）

可能如同收集画展的艺术品

得到后，反而好像就有种空虚？

也许就坐在椅子，在面前欣赏着它。。。

也就这样

可能只是收藏而不用就会缺乏某种意义上的感觉吧

但还好我的卡片就方便多了，随时翻开，随时观赏

也许就是没玩，没能拿来用就缺了点什么。。。嗯

再来就是今天是听着 Hikki 最新的单曲 JANE DOE

经典的《宇多田式》现代情歌

有种凄美感

我不是米津玄师的听众，所以就略过了（笑)

重点还是光姐的声音，以及MV里头呈现的画面与感觉

看着MV我当然会有很多想法

首先就是他们的拍摄方式是如何，什么特效技巧，等等等的都会注意

像他们的那些快与慢的动作特效

基本上就是需要用一台可以每秒拍很多贞 (Frames) 的摄影机

然后当我们在后制那放慢时，画面就可以呈现出那种清澈的画面感

也许 After Effects 那边在后面添加了玻璃特效

但我还没学AE，所以只是我的感觉

差不多就这样吧

重点是要有成本用到那些好的器材才行。。。呵

好，今天就到这儿吧

晚安

The AI Era

 

Been dabbling in lots of AI creations and tools these days

They are absolutely amazing

Especially for individuals like me, it is one of the best assistant and helper one can hope for

Nonetheless, the Gemini 2.5 is my MVP

Just used it to redesign my website and channel elements

I'm really satisfied and happy with it

Feels criminal to use it so freely.....but at least responsibly (laugh)

It really works like a Net Navi from Megaman Battle Network

The responses and actions are truly intellectual and effective

Once again, thank you Gemini for all the hardwork

You're definitely the most useful to me now

Next to talk about would be Filmora 14

I happened to get a cheapest perpetual upgrade deal at around $20+ USD

Otherwise, I would feel so bad getting it at around $80 USD

The upgrade from 13 to 14 is too huge to miss

Introducing the AI engine for text to video generations and images AIGC tools

Theres so much more room for new creative options compared to version 13

However, compared to Gemini

I think the AI capabilities and accuracy in Filmora still have rooms for improvement

Probably just a matter of time as we progresses towards the future

Theres so much to talk about

But I just want to wrap things up

Started collecting random foil cards with arts I find really attractive for myself

Thankfully I could get these random cards quite cheaply at Hako Outpost

Pretty good deal if you ask me

I guess they are kinda cheap because not many are playing the card game now

Compared to Pokemon which is much more overpriced

Artwork wise however, I think these Vanguard ones are much more sophisticated

Design and styles are more attractive to me

Alright thats all for some updates

Gotta do some file sortings and arranging for all these AI works and etc.

Have a great week~

墨 • 溶

 

是我最新剪辑作所用到的转换效果系列

从真实到画境所运用的一种合适概念

但也不是每一幕都能用

都还是要看感觉

但我发现自己还是急了

虽然已观看几遍

刚看，前面觉得自己有段剪快了

没事，我的个性就这样

但至少有效率。。。（笑）

就像佛只渡有缘人

希望有缘观赏到影片的人会喜欢

银姐的歌真的是太棒了

近来又回归自我

什么姐也成为了消失人口

但问题不在于我

所以我也不想去多想让自己内耗

反正我知道自己想要的是什么样的

觉得不适合的，终究还是不合适吧

没事，用来满足我色色的欲望就行了

哈哈哈哈哈

我喜欢的公园又要整活了

WEEEEEE~~~

AV8 Media

 

Finishing my course on DaVinci Resolve soon

Really learnt a lot of stuffs regarding video editing tools and different fundamentals for different relevant aspects

And of course on how to use this professional software to do stuffs I would want to do, more easily

The color grading tools especially, which is the trademark feature of this software

Is so amazing and useful to play with

Learning the proper steps to go about correcting from start till end

Matters a lot when I need to adjust footages to suit the music video's theme next time

Or perhaps for other purposes

Thanks a lot to our course teacher, Mr.Ian

For all his answers, tips and guidances so far

Such a great teacher

That said, previously I mentioned about not being able to run the latest version of the software

But actually I still can, just needed to update my driver to the latest version

Nonetheless, I still think my PC probably would crash when the project gets big

Really wanted to get an iMac desktop just for doing all my video work stuffs

I love the clean and minimalist design so much, and it always run so smoothly, damn

Comparing to the crappy Windows which always have that background system update going on

Just so annoying and can't really be stopped

Keeping a Windows OS just for playing Steam games, emulators & etcs. would be ok

But alas, I do not have additional space or rooms to utilise properly....for now

Recently found a liking for these cards at an Arcade Game Center

The qualities are so good

Of course I'm also preparing present gifts suitable....so....kinda nice

Tiring, but really, learning about things you're passionate about?

I can keep going at it all-day

过春痕

 

近几个礼拜心情起起落落

现在好多了

正在针对自己的缺点去改善，让自己更好

天空蓝也太美了

真的很喜欢好天气时的这种色彩

若要我排 银临 的专辑。。。

第一名我应该会给【山色有无中】

因为它融入了最新的创作元素，以及混音技巧，等等等的经验累积

所以一定是目前质量最好的一张专辑

歌曲的设计，都真的做得太有主题感了

不是只靠即兴的灵感降临，就能轻松完成的

而是真的要花长时间不断的打磨跟设计桥段的那种

真正需要花很多心思与时间去制作的大专辑

非常的令我敬佩

再下来我应该就会排 银姐的【琉璃】专辑吧

啊，这些话我应该都留给当我录制 银姐 的播客时 再深入地解释跟探讨的！。。

但我最近真的都抽不出精力去录制影片

连沛沛的也还没弄

累~

游戏那块也是累得不太想录制，就私底下想轻松的玩一玩就好

我想，要完成这些，真的必须是在我能度着无限假期的情况下

才能够去一一地去完成吧

一些生活健康的更新

那些保健品我近来比较少吃了

感觉只要偶尔补充一点就够了

压力大时有 南非醉茄（Ashwagandha）

可以帮忙缓解压力，很好用的感觉

不需要常吃，有需要再吃一两颗就够了

维他命也一样，只要偶尔补充一点就完美了

这样不止东西可以用很久，又省钱，双赢的感觉

现在皮肤也好起来了

比起什么 New York Skin 那种坑钱的配套

去 KSkin 做基本的保养护肤反而更有用，更便宜

季节一个又一个过去了。。。

一年很快又要过去

有时在这里回看到一些旧的发文，发现有真多还需要清理的

特别是偏向负面情绪的那种，大多都会想清理掉

偶尔看哪个感觉不太好的就清吧

也是好事

说明现在的我，比起过去的我

是有在提升，进步，变得更好，更成熟

要永无止境的

一直 变得更好
