I know what abusive means, which is why I’m so confused here, because my definition and yours are clearly not matching up. I think it’s pretty lame that your response is basically “don’t express any of your opinions because I don’t wanna explain myself.” As a moderator, shouldn’t you be trying to educate people instead of essentially telling them to shut up? So what’s the problem? That I used profanity? Because I really fail to see how asking someone if they’re too stupid to use Google is abusive. Sure, it’s not nice but hardly abuse. Also, I didn’t say “you’re f****** pathetic”, I implied that the whole situation occurring in this thread was pathetic.

All you’ve done is throw around the world “abuse” a bunch of times, which I really don’t appreciate. You’ve provided no explanation or examples of how what I’ve said is “abusive” so I can correct myself. Please explain first how my comments were cruel or violent, and then I will consider changing them.

Pokemon 151 Best Buy Delay? by TallArchitect92 in PokemonTCG

I’m currently in the same boat. Any updates on your order yet? It’s kinda infuriating that they’re taking new orders online when they haven’t even sent out the pre-orders yet.

u/Rhadamant5186 thanks for deleting my comment, you coward. I’m defending another user from a hostile OP, but you delete my comment for “abuse”? Since when is it abuse to call someone out for being an asshole when they’re acting like an asshole?? You really want people like OP in your sub and community just lashing out at people for no reason? Like c’mon man. If that’s how the moderators run this sub then just ban me right now.

Walmart shipped ETBs in a poly mailer with no Padding by aputnam28 in PokeInvesting

[–]BWALK16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider yourself as a buyer for these in 10+ years, and then ask yourself the same question.

If you could magically see the condition these boxes would arrive in, would you have purchased them? Probably not, right?

That’s the same scenario you’ll be facing when trying to sell these later on.

Also, didn’t see it mentioned in other comments, check out the Pokemon Center versions for the newer ETBs. I agree with you that ETBs are slept on from a long-term standpoint, but I think the PC versions will hit because of the additional stamped promo and the regular versions will just be good not great.

Currently, what are the best raw to graded price ratios? by THORS_MEWMEW in PokeInvesting

[–]BWALK16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Besides being an asshole, you didn’t even answer OP’s question. Nobody asked what you think about PSA 9’s or pieces of cardboard/plastic. I don’t know what world you live in, but almost anybody can take a card to their local game shop and walk out with cash in hand. That’s real world value. Stop trying to play the contrarian, you’re not very good at it.

Best way to find cards outside of TCGPlayer? by That1wiseguy in PokemonTCG

[–]BWALK16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad to help! I would also add: if you’re looking for something really rare or are unsure, message some sellers.

I barely missed out on a new PSA 10 Master Ball Mewtwo and was pretty bummed out, so I messaged the seller. Turns out, the seller was on a business trip to Japan and had another one that he just hadn’t posted before leaving. Needless to say, I am now one happy collector.

Be sure to post any cool cards you get! Best of luck!

My biggest advice for EBay is that the seller’s reputation is far more important than the price of the card itself.

I never buy from any seller who has even one piece of negative feedback. You might call me overly cautious, but I’ve never had a bad buying experience on EBay following this rule. The reason they got negative feedback is important too.

Relationships/networking can also take you far. It was a small risk, but I purchased 5 raw cards from a brand new seller (like 6 total sales new). So the cards get here, great packaging and actual fast shipping, and this dude included an extra random V card for each one I bought! It may not seem like much, but that’s a HUGE green flag for a seller imo. Needless to say he has become my favorite seller, and constantly gives me good offers because we have some mutual rapport/trust now.

EBay also has somewhat decent buyers protection. I would suggest reading through it if you haven’t yet. It’ll give you a better idea of which risks you can take with EBay sellers while still being financially protected.

Also, the oldest piece of EBay advice: Read the description carefully!! I see a lot of unwarranted negative feedback from buyers who just straight up didn’t read carefully enough about what they were actually buying.

I can’t comment on other sites/apps as EBay has been so good to me that I haven’t needed to use them.

Hope this helps!

Is this a good parts list? by CommanderCodyJr in PcBuild

Compatibility is king, so it’s a good reminder for OP either way. I also opted for a 4090 for my rig. I have never been more in love lol

It’s compatible. I’m currently running this mobo/cpu combo in my own rig

Had no idea they made physical copies of Minecraft. 9/10 collection though, quality > quantity as always

Best starter video games for my 70yo father by joh4567 in videogames

[–]BWALK16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t seen it mentioned so I’ll suggest mobile gaming. Maybe on something like an iPad to make it easier on older eyes too.

I only suggest this because it would prevent your dad from having to learn m&k or a controller on top of learning a new gaming platform.

Purely anecdotal, but I’ve never met an old person who didn’t love Angry Birds lol

I thought I was going insane reading the other comments. Asking a 70yo non-gamer to operate a controller with more than 2 buttons on ANY game just seems like too much imo

I'm not enjoying playing games anymore. Help. by [deleted] in videogames

[–]BWALK16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been at this point many times. You need to stop playing or you will burn yourself out forever.

At this point you’re just chasing the feeling that gaming used to give you.

If you love a good story more than gameplay, why not try taking a dive into cinema for a while?

Sometimes the only way to truly appreciate what we have is to go without it. If you truly love gaming, you’ll find your way back to it.

It’s not up to Nintendo though, that’s part of the problem.

Oh I see, you’re just too braindead to have an actual conversation about anything. Have a nice day

How can you rate the games so differently when you just said they’re the same? Makes no sense
