AMA | The Blind Box Video

Comments

My favorite blind box experience is actually a trading card game called dice masters but I’m a sucker for mystery bags at stalls (Comic Con) I like. I think it’s because it feels like a present I buy myself. I don’t know what’s in it but I know it’s from a place I like. (This is how I got my metal set of pirate dice.) That said I do have a history of addiction in my family. So I am very aware of how much I spend on them and when I’m hitting that stream. (I’m glad you were able to only buy two.) Funnily, the real life claw machines are an example of where my addictive behavior hits because I am really good at them, but modern ones weaken the claw for something like 19 out of 20 pulls so I consistently would get the toy to the top and then it falls. (To the point that a worker stared at it in betrayal and went “you should have gotten the last three.”) Sidenote: claw machines over 20 years old don’t have this problem as much. (And the more ethical the people the lower that is set. Some people set it as low as 4 in 5 weakened but yeah, look for older ones guys!) I did play until I got the secret brain! And then I got it twice in a row, which was fun. ☺️ I wondered if moving the claw did anything! (And I did look at the Kobiyashi Maru comments and think. Guys… data…) Huh, I kept waiting for a question to pop up but I know why blind/mystery bags work for me so… yeah. (I do hope you mention the present for myself feeling in the follow up because I’m curious what you think about it, but that’s not really a question.)

My main question which is not related to the video: can you share the link to the eyeglasses adaptations you used? Reddit didn’t help and I’m struggling to find them. Additionally if I wanted to share feedback in a not public setting (giving you the right to either listen or ignore without anyone but me knowing) how do you prefer I do that?

Hope
