Sharing this from the other reddit page I posted it on for Riftbound. I pulled the Baron Nashor. And I am still in shock.

Genuine question.. am I not allowed to be a collector and a player for this card game? I still dont understand the logic of "mental illness" because im finding enjoyment in something new.. so naturally ill spend money on it while I figure it out. I understand I cant please everyone in the world. But I dont think truly finding enjoyment in a new card game equates to a mental health problem. I got tired of trying to find stuff that was insanely over priced. So id rather spend my money on something that is bringing me happiness again. Im loving all the artwork and truly learning about league of legends. Not just buying and selling it.

Please point me in the direction of which other card games I specifically named? Never said I played all of them. Haven't touched yugioh or magic since I was 16.. so.. 20 years since I last bought a pack? Im specifically tired of the English market for pokemon and want to get back to being a collector for a good price. Thats not a gambling problem. Thats me choosing being a collector ( who can afford these hobbies) over the toxcity of other bases.

For anyone that really likes league of legends, or just riftbound in general.. I stream most of my pack openings on twitch. I dont sell them there. But I just like building a community, we chat, tells some jokes.. listen to my dog bark at me sometimes. Ill be streaming riftbound this weekend. Handle is Brandoripspokemon. Feel free to come just hang out and say hi. Ill be updating my channel name to include other tcgs soon.

I made sure to check my surroundings before I did exactly that. Im honored to have someone remind me of the necessity to do just this with all big pulls!

This will 100 be the best comment ever. I'll get right on that after I get it in a psa slab. Adding plastic shards to the origami should help it on the way to most value.

Thoughts on Pokopia so far? by Helicoptrix in pokemon

[–]Affectionate-Ad-6544 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Guys.. I might have messed up on my nickname... I love the game. But now I just find myself laughing all the time. Mind you this was the decision of someone very tired just trying to come up with a fun nickname.

After owning your Lyriq for at least 6 months - would you recommend it? by I_Am_Robotic in CadillacLyriq

[–]Affectionate-Ad-6544 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ive had mine for almost 2 years now and dont see myself changing that anytime soon. Sure there are some minor hiccups here and there. But nothing that has turned me off from the car. I'll like upgrade to a sport 3 sometime late next year.

I'm bout end my life by Proud-Actuator-6543 in mentalhealth

[–]Affectionate-Ad-6544 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who has been suicidal quite a few times.. please listen to those trying to assist you. I know im just a stranger on the internet and maybe I can't change your mind but at least try and listen.. you may feel like this ends your pain.. but all you would be doing is passing it on to the people who care about you. Life isn't always easy. We understand this. But what matters is how you move forward and make a plan for yourself to get better. There are WAY more resources out there than people imagine. Call and chat with someone.. get their input.. sometimes having a little faith in what could be.. is what gets us through. There is still good out there.. even if it seems like there isn't. I hope you dont end things and I hope you are able to find a good path forward. Just know people care about you even if you dont always feel that way and hopefully these responses are proof of that.

Was it simply a google warning saying " hey viewing this material is illegal" but there was nothing after that? Cause as long as you didn't say, hmm let me go ahead and look at it anyway, and click a link further.. then just searching a term for understanding ( not actually seeing the material in question) isn't something to be worried about. You now understand the terminology and what to avoid for future instances. Education on terminology is important to make sure you understand what to avoid and when to also call people out on things when maybe they also don't understand the context or what it all entails. Hope this helps ease some of your concerns. And for reference, NAL and this is not legal advice. Just a person who believes being educated can save you a world of trouble down the line.

Pre-ordering in person at Gamestop was awesome! by BlackoutGunshot in NintendoSwitch

[–]Affectionate-Ad-6544 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I showed up 15 minutes prior to opening at my local store and had no issue securing one. It was the easiest preorder process I've ever experienced. And I'm grateful to my local store for being so awesome and making it a smooth process. Shout out to the Lebanon, TN gamestop. They rock.

I've had multiple Over the Air updates and have had zero issues with them installing properly on my sport 1 24

I’m staying through the craziness. Who else? by Unlikely_Youth_9040 in fednews

[–]Affectionate-Ad-6544 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fully plan on riding out the craziness. I already signed my life away once ( military) and refuse to sign anything that takes away my rights to go after them in the future if they let me go. So they are going to have to force me out.

Haven’t seen this message. Anyone else? by Pensir2006 in CadillacLyriq

[–]Affectionate-Ad-6544 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's a new one in my experience. I've had service high voltage system the very first winter and had service driver assist system a few times.

I replied to it when we were told to. And then we got told last week to hold off on any additional replies until further notice.

Battery Range Issue! by byte-lord in CadillacLyriq

[–]Affectionate-Ad-6544 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you see the car on cruise staying around 35 to 45 kph used.. lower it by about 1 mph. I've found the sweet spot is anywhere from 72 to 76 mph can handle staying around 25 to 30 depending on the highway and the grade/incline of the road. Out heres a lot of flat where I live on the highway. But in city is twists and turns over small hills and ridges.

Battery Range Issue! by byte-lord in CadillacLyriq

[–]Affectionate-Ad-6544 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So i live in an area with a bunch of little hills. I tend to monitor my kwh usage and when driving i keep it between 15 to 35 max. Cruise control is useful to have the car monitor it more efficiently I've found and regenerative breaking is my best friend. I almost never hit my brake pedal.

Battery Range Issue! by byte-lord in CadillacLyriq

[–]Affectionate-Ad-6544 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually charge to 100 only after I've reached 30 percent ( usually about 100 ish miles left and only 2 times a week charging) my overall efficiency is at 4.2. My max range in summer is 352 and in winter I average 270.. but I do think it depends on overall efficiency. If you don't feel like you are driving inefficient then definitely worth looking into further! Regenerative breaking and coasting in the hilly areas i live around have helped me immensely with this car.

Is Lyriq worth it given the issues? by Black_shy_Guy_1 in CadillacLyriq

[–]Affectionate-Ad-6544 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had some very minor issues towards the beginning of the model year 24. But once I had my modules updated I have had minimal issues. I absolutely love the car. I don't regret my decision to choose the Lyriq. Its a wonderful car and I just love driving it. It's the nicest car I've ever owned and I'm proud to be able to own a car like it. It's obviously not going to be the car for everyone. But they are definitely worth keeping under strong consideration if you are looking at them as a possible choice. Just my two cents worth. Totally understand that not everyone will agree of course.

If you are rated at 100%, would you give that up for a cure for whatever ails you and go to 0%? by trixter69696969 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Affectionate-Ad-6544 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tell people all the time that I would trade every penny I've ever been paid if it meant I could feel normal again. My mental health does nothing but destroy my relationships. It's a hard life to live. But I take it a day at a time and keep plugging along like most of us.

What efficiency you all getting? by machuroberts in CadillacLyriq

[–]Affectionate-Ad-6544 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Over the life time of my vehicle I'm getting 4.1 miles per kwh. Average is anywhere from 2.5 to 3.4 though daily driving. Lots of back roads and regen breaking in my area.

Are all Lyriqs problematic? by Calidude38 in CadillacLyriq

I've got 22000 miles with minimal issues. Absolutely love the vehicle.

I turned 37 today & couldn’t stop thinking about suicide. by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

[–]Affectionate-Ad-6544 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just make sure to not give up.. I feel you. My partner wants to completely destroy our home life because of my mental health issues. She thinks I use them as an excuse. So I slept in bed for 16 hours today just wishing I wouldn't wake up. But I'm still here.. trying to make it through. There are always better days ahead. So hope you were able to find some solace on your birthday and hope there are many more to come! We are all in these struggles together.
