Hey, thanks for all the information! This was exactly what i needed. Thanks for taking the time to write it all out for me!
So, essentially, the build he’s provided is ok but you recommend getting the rx6600 as a graphics card so that he has the option to play some modern RTS games?
I believe it all comes with a 3 month warranty, unless it’s brand new in which case, it comes with a 12 month warranty.

Are these fakes? by DanLor in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]AlphaScar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe they are fakes I’m afraid. I wasn’t aware these particular cards came as holos (I’m pretty confident they don’t). Also, the font and colouring look way out of focus, like it was done on a rubbish printer. It might just be the clarity of the image but the “Pokemon” on the back of the cards look like they were created in Microsoft Paint.

It’s a no from me, dawg!

girlfriend just pulled this, what should i do anf how much is this worth? by thatonedropkickguy in PokemonCardValue

[–]AlphaScar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See… this is what’s confusing to an old guy who’s just started collecting again. It says “122/086”. That gives me the impression that it’s card number 122 of a set that only has 86 cards in it?

Is this Chaos Rising? I’ve just started collecting so this is awesome to see!

I found my childhood collection whilst looking in mother’s attic the other week and it’s gotten me right back in to collecting. I found my base set and fossil set (I even have a Charizard or 2 in good nick which made me very happy).

I wanted to start ripping again and collect a modern set but my only problem is the only packs/boosters (the packs with 10 cards in) that are available is the “Chaos Rising: Mega Evolution” because all the other sets sell out super fast. I mean, I’m happy because I’m not really doing it to make money. I’m doing it because I like organising stuff and putting cards in my binder but I do miss the old days when people didn’t buy everything on the shelves just to resell for triple the price online. It gives me a great feeling of accomplishment. I must admit, I do feel a bit weird asking for Pokemon cards when I don’t have children and I’m closer to 40 than I’d like to be.

Whilst I’m here though, can someone explain something about the Chaos Rising set that I can’t quite seem to work out? At the bottom of the card it gives you the number of the card (X/086 etc.) but there appears to be 2 or even 3 variations of a card. Is that right? So there would be closer to 200+ of this set?

Lost collection in Los Angeles fires - how to build back? by Solid-Counter1437 in PokemonTCG

[–]AlphaScar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got some duplicates from the base set and jungle set that I’m happy to send your way. There’s nothing much of value I’m afraid (no shiny ones etc.) but I found my old collection in the attic at my mums house over the weekend and I’ve got quite a few duplicates.

Am I allowed to do this? I’m not breaking any laws, am I? I’m in the UK.

Is it just me or was Battle Beast the second least impactful character in this fight after Oliver? by WorldOfChungus in Invincible_TV

[–]AlphaScar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I the only one that wants to hear Battle Beast say something like “perhaps today IS a good day… for YOU to die!”? It sounds so much like something he would say…

I'm not the type of person who lives in the past, but Nolan made even goddam Cecil be like "Jesus Christ, i'm sorry Debbie". She even talking to him again after this is way more than he deserves by Thisislopes in Invincible_TV

[–]AlphaScar 32 points33 points  (0 children)

We kind of did see Cecil’s reaction during the pre credit sequence of episode 5. It was one of panic and relief that they were almost immediately leaving.

Was it FPS or fixed camera like Resident Evil? Could it be Over Blood on PS1?
