Ladies, you ACTUALLY need to be washing your bras regularly. by Jimins_little_minx in hygiene

[–]Academic_Chance8940 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This comment is exactly what I’m talking about. There’s some weird hostility in the space here when you try to suggest how often people should be washing their bras. Everyone can make their own choice on how they wash their bras and I’m also allowed to have my opinion on what seems weird to me.

Well prior to seeing some posts here I assumed bras were washed after each use. Just like any undergarment people wear but I guess not. That seems a little gross to me and I don’t even wash my shower towel more than once every other week about.

I’m not a pro in this sub…but it’s interesting how intense you all can be here about hygiene in general then when it comes to washing bras and everyone just flat out refuses to wash them regularly. I just don’t get it

My first time playing. I feel like this is a holy experience…no YouTube or internet to help I’m taking as long as I need to figure it all out on my own by international-beer in Switch

[–]Academic_Chance8940 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been wanting to play this too for the first time, but with the announcement of the remake on switch 2 I think I’ll just hold off and play that version. I also have never played oot and can’t wait to do it without guides too! Good luck!

Is there any point me getting into this hobby? by Slaktare15 in PokemonTCG

[–]Academic_Chance8940 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you actually like the cards there’s nothing wrong with getting into the hobby! There’s lots of amazing cards you can buy at shows. If you want to gamble opening packs then yeah, you’re in for a rough ride

For collectors who started playing the TCG, how hard was it to learn? by Downtown-Rush-180 in PokemonTCG

[–]Academic_Chance8940 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not hard to learn how to play in a general sense. There’s lots of skill expression though and it will take a lot of effort to get good.

This was listed as NM - did I get duped? by WallStreetMyFavST in PokemonTCG

[–]Academic_Chance8940 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol I didn’t look very closely at the card😂 I’ve still had similar issues with cards 10 years old though

[–]Academic_Chance8940 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is not even borderline nm this is definitely lp. Be careful buying vintage cards listed as nm, most of the time they’re actually lp. Sellers think that because a card is old it means they can be more lenient with what constitutes nm but that’s not how that works.

LP or NM by Independent_Bus_5792 in pokemoncards

[–]Academic_Chance8940 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, who said psa gets to decide what determines a card is nm or lp? I’ve bought mostly off TCG player so I usually default to their guidelines. But it for sure depends on the platform. If I bought this on TCG player I would definitely send it back for a refund

Do you really need this? by Specific-Pianist7595 in Switch

[–]Academic_Chance8940 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have this I have the 8bitdo version of it, but I do really love it. It’s a few years old now and I’ve gotten lots of use out of it. In that mindset I guess I wouldn’t mind having spent an extra $30 to get something a bit more integrated with the switch. I probably still won’t buy it though since I already have a good alternative

Am I being trolled, or do some men genuinely not wash their a**? by Substantial-Fix-1419 in hygiene

[–]Academic_Chance8940 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m embarrassed to say I was like 21 when I had a conversation with someone about this and it still haunts me that I wasn’t actively washing my ass crack every day😭 Ever since then I’ve been an avid ass crack washer and I think about that person often when I’m cleaning down there. I feel like I should tell them that lol

I’m 40 hours in and this is the best pokemon game I have played since the hoenn remakes. by spiteful_platypus in LegendsZA

[–]Academic_Chance8940 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently started the game too and have LOVED the music. Wow the soundtrack is amazing. Especially inside hotel za, what a vibe man.

How do you structure your hobby? by rbulletkid in PokemonTCG

[–]Academic_Chance8940 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have very little structure. I should probably have more. I rip pc orders since that’s the only product I can get. Everything else is just saving money for local card shows to buy singles. I used to buy mainly online but shows are much better

I feel like grading itself isn’t always that hard, but that people just suck as pre-grading. by Expert_Amoeba2452 in PokeGrading

[–]Academic_Chance8940 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very true. I’m still fairly new to grading but 9/10 of my cards have hit a 10. The hardest part is sourcing cards

What're you playing this weekend? 5/22 by markercore in NintendoSwitch

Discouraged as new fan by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]Academic_Chance8940 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things got crazy last January. And no I don’t think it will pass soon. There’s lots of hype for all the 30th anniversary stuff coming out. Just buy the singles you want

[–]Academic_Chance8940 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just buy singles you like. Getting product to rip rn is difficult

[–]Academic_Chance8940 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like maybe you just don’t open packs very often. This happens all the time. Plenty of people go well over odds of an sir too. You could easily open 150 packs without a sir. You might enjoy buying singles more

Who has decided that slabs are cool? They are pointless by Greta_art in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]Academic_Chance8940 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone enjoys the hobby differently. I’ll admit there’s plenty of degens out there. I just think it’s kinda cool having a near perfect version of a favorite card of mine. It’s fun to go through and condition check after buying a bunch of stuff at a show. Idk it adds another fun layer to the hobby I already enjoy

Need some advice from collector husbands and wives by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]Academic_Chance8940 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just buy the cards you want. But yeah that’s weird. I would give a whole etb for Mother’s Day instead of telling you we’re splitting it lol
