I guess I have to ask why. You might as well have no numbers on your chips at all.80x 25, 80x 100, 80x 500, 60x no value. Cant do it on my phone but a label design where 100s and 500s can look like 1s and 5s too. And 25s can look like quarters

This is likely more "unpopular" than "controversial".80x 25, 80x 100, 80x 500, 60x no value. Cant do it on my phone but a label design where 100s and 500s can look like 1s and 5s too. And 25s can look like quarters
This is controversial? Of course it's their best orange.DG Peach is CPC's best orange.
Clearly, you’re both wrong.This is controversial? Of course it's their best orange.
But Arc Yellow is a better color.
All love @warma but...Clearly, you’re both wrong.
Yellow and Orange are the best of the respective colors.
Val Kilmer and RDJ, Kiss Kiss, Bang BangWhat is that from? I can’t recognize the second actor.
Yeah, well ya would've known for sure but....Yeah, I thought it was Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, but it’s been a while since I’ve see it.
And there some really big D-bag vets on this site.On another episode of "Today in the Classifieds":

I think that might be some real wisdom. I’ve been thinking a lot lately how screwed up it is here. How people are spending like maniacs on crap that makes no sense. Left and right, up and down, sell it off and do it all over again. I guess I’m used to seeing things that annoy me and just yelling at the clouds. But you might be on to the truth with this.Man this xenforo. I can’t blame the new people, searched unpopular opinion, opinion, opinions* before finding this right thread.
Controversial Opinion - I think all these rat rod sets are horrid and would rather play with any other set first. I think they’re super cool and unique, you know the hard to build piece by piece one or two or three that’s been in work for years. But once everyone starts doing it, blech, it’s just a bunch of mish mash mushy sets.
Controversial Opinion - I think all these boat chip amalgam sets are just goodness awful. Thousands and thousands of dollars for a set that has 0 cohesion. (There are plenty that look amazeballs too!)
Controversial Opinion - I don’t think the above opinions are all that controversial. I remember when I joined (the quiet of the storm) I had soooooo many stupid “Barrie fever dreams” chipset ideas. Back then, the vets were more vocal (not assholes just vocal) and pretty much said, “dumbass, that ain’t gonna work. Try again!”
The crazed influx of power users over the past few years + the chipping market + everything only being sold privately and all vets going underground and moving to PM, text, and occasional engagement here I think has led to this “every idea is a good idea”. It’s too bad honestly, as a totally non aesthetic person I appreciate people’s warnings and honest feedback.
Nowadays it just seems that every custom set, every chip set, every amalgam is the “bees knees”. Ignorance is bliss I guess?

100%, Ill shit on your design plans pre fabrication because thats our role. Soon as the purchase is made? "Hey now, Im glad they make you happy!" LolIt's not cool to shit on other people's customs.
Man this xenforo.
I’ve noticed that as well— new members *clearly* looking for advice from more knowledgeable members getting responses like “do what makes you happy, it’s your set,” and “who cares if others like it as long as you do.” I understand so much of this is subjective, but I still don’t get that approach.Controversial Opinion - I don’t think the above opinions are all that controversial.

Im pretty new myself, but theres a lot of people asking for advice and then completely ignoring the advice, whether its design or breakdown or whatever. Eventually we just put kid gloves on and nod along.So I can’t be the only one who wondered what drama user @xenforo was causing, right? …right?

Two racks of fracs 4 lyfe!Im pretty new myself, but theres a lot of people asking for advice and then completely ignoring the advice, whether its design or breakdown or whatever. Eventually we just put kid gloves on and nod along.
It also depends how its asked. If someones convinced they love a design and clearly just want affirmation? Fuck it, give it to em.
Except if they're okay with only 100 fracs, then they're absolute scrubs and should be put in their place.
I'm mostly there with you Jeff. Tried putting a mixed set together once but it's just so damn tilting having a set with a different inlay, mold, et al. I understand casino sets are their own animal, but you guys have no idea of how close I came to snapping up a beat to hell primary PCA set with the idea to send them to the chip spa for edge finishing. The reason I didn't? Mix of suits mold, RHC, and THC molds between each denomination. Couldn't do it.
Some mixed sets look amazing, but others are head scratchers. Same with custom sets. I'm happy with them if you are, but some aren't my cup of tea. It's OK to not like mixed sets/customs, but I follow the old adage my momma taught me of "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything". It's not cool to shit on other people's customs.
Yeah that’s the hard part. And it’s honestly not judgement from me, I literally collect custom samples because I couldn’t ever make anything worthwhile - the worst ever is still far beyond what I could do.100%, Ill shit on your design plans pre fabrication because thats our role. Soon as the purchase is made? "Hey now, Im glad they make you happy!" Lol
Yeah, have to be super nice to everyone here now. It’s grown to be so much more than an intimate group of collectors, so kids gloves everywhere.I’ve noticed that as well— new members *clearly* looking for advice from more knowledgeable members getting responses like “do what makes you happy, it’s your set,” and “who cares if others like it as long as you do.”

I like 90% agree with you. But when the NAGB's got it right, they knocked it out of the park.Hearddat. Its played out especially on this thread but I think most of the boat chips are fugly especially considering the price tag. No idea why some of the NAGB chips are so coveted. I'm just a degenerate who loves his big ol ceramics, and that belongs in this thread too!

Bro, you started with the ES and all I could think was if this guy doesn't list those Tiger Secondaries, I'm bout to realize were on very opposite sides suddenly......I like 90% agree with you. But when the NAGB's got it right, they knocked it out of the park.

Somewhat agree and I’ve been building one for a while. You have to have a specific vision and set criteria. It can’t just be a mess of chips. I think it’s also better than singles that just sit in boxes doing nothing. That’s not why these chips were made. But then it has to a be a set. And not several random groupings of a bunch of singles messed together. I’m also glad it’s not something I started until after I had seen and learned and handled a lot of other stuff because a lot for me is appreciation of the chips and you can’t have that without experience and exposure.Man this xenforo.

I’ve said it several times before. Most NAGB chips are like fast fashion to me. High profit margin that’s glitzy on the rack but actually crap.Controversial Opinion - I think all these boat chip amalgam sets are just goodness awful. Thousands and thousands of dollars for a set that has 0 cohesion. (There are plenty that look amazeballs too!)
