Get Hyped!(?) ( self )

submitted by HomeDepotEnthusiast Warning: 0%

It's a monday night (tuesday morning for most people) and I'm tastefully shitfaced because
my work schedule is non conventional- god bless big orange
but anyway I wanted to finger the pulse (no homo) of the forum so I don't waste time writing a review no one is going to read.
Do you wanna see:
A MO review (who has the best and why) or polycarb showdown between Lost and OIS for Wisco. Lemme know. Also these reviews would ditch the x/10 scale, because it just doesn't make sense in todays market (Every ID will scan to some degree, BCS is getting easier to pass, etc.)
If none of this appeals to you, also let me know. "I want to embrace the haters"-Drake. Probably, at some point.

Yeah I'd say MO comparison review since I really wanna know if Budget's is king, particularly since I think multiple people got SPB's temp

^bump, I was curious about this which is why I threw that idea out. It also is an incredibly common state for all the vendors.

Polycarb showdown sounds interesting.

Classic case of not knowing how to use the searchbar

Yeah I'd like to see some polycarb reviews cause I just have no confidence buying one, but I am curious to see their quality.

so stuff like this is exactly why I did this post, if people felt like something has been done to death/doesn't have mass appeal (like a review of a CA ID) or is otherwise not worth it I wanted to hear that.
I will say though people bring up some of these IDs often and I think one review being written does not mean there should not be more reviews on the same ID, as every reviewer brings different things to the table.

Also if never heard of someone asking for this review. Why don’t u do nPA if you can swing it

HomeDepotEnthusiast [S] —

nPA is something I think ab often bc of how much demand there generally is for them.
The reason I am hesitant is the stickers i've seen are generally coming from the same source at the end of the line. As far as temp, a lot of them do not properly format expiration date which would pretty much get the ID not recommended for me. It sounds like a small thing but it is not in actual practice. I also don't know if I could get a physical, and you would really need one to get a sense of the color shift guilloche pattern at the top.
If I did it would probably be from the road and between OIS and viking.

Reviews are just to please vendors at this point so they can link it on their site. No one reads them. Do them to your hearts content but just know probably 30 people max will read it on the forum and that whatever vendor wins will use it for SEO and for proof that their Id beats everyone

I write reviews out of hobby, so this isn't exactly news to me. Most of the reviews on the site are what you're talking about.
My goal for a review is to best give people an idea of what you actually get from a vendor and what the most important things to keep in mind will be using it in real life.
So if at least 1 person can use that, it doesn't really change anything because again this is now a hobby for me, but I like the idea of being able to provide that.
Additionally, a small minority of people use the search bar before buying an ID. Having reviews is a nice community building way to help them eventually make a choice.
I think your Wisco comparison is a fine review. But I also don't agree with everything in it. Aside from your review, there are almost no serious reviews on the lost wisco and none on the OIS Wisco. People recommend the lost wisco often on here, even more in real life on some campuses.
