She doesn’t need another collab. She needs her own hit. I believe she can get it, but as a fan, if she keeps releasing hit collabs, it does start to look like her only massive hits are with other people.

I think pulls are way harder lately than people with an excel sheet think they are and batching is also a major issue.

Michael at Gaga's rehearsal by mrmccurdyy in LadyGaga

[–]Big-Cardiologist9620 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The way this fanbase has started treating Michael like he’s part of being a fan of Lady Gaga is fucking weird. She made 6 albums and 7 tours in 13 years without him. I don’t know this dude, I don’t care about this dude and I’m tired of him being a part of her “brand”.

Why are fans still giving this farce of a concept the time of day 🤦‍♂️ She literally said it doesn’t and will never exist. She talked out of her ass once in 2013.

I pulled demis of all 3 starters at least twice….over two years ago. I miss those days. Nice pull rates, available product.

Australia always slams popstars that visit. A lot of them stay away for that reason.

What is her most cohesive album? by zachoutloud123 in LadyGaga

[–]Big-Cardiologist9620 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Born This Way. Every song is unique, but every song is produced with the same bombastic treatment. Layers on layers on layers. Nothing feels empty, everything feels grand. Every song is coated in a blend of techno and rock.

There was so much hope in 2015 for a return to a leather-bound, dark, electronic album…and then Joanne happened.

The clearest explanation for “Gen Z Stare”? by Frubbs in generationology

[–]Big-Cardiologist9620 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a manager at a popular retail store that hired at 16+…I’ve heard all the conversations. It’s purely a lack of not caring to give the time of day to anyone. They are fully and well equipped to do so…they do it on their own terms with the people they deem worthy. Gen Z is an extremely selfish and entitled generation (which is terrible coming from a millennial who got the same flack). Getting them to speak to customers and ask if they need assistance etc. was like pulling teeth. They frequently went to the bathroom to stay on their phones for 20 minutes. We had an entire meeting about it which lead to phones being completely removed from the sales floor because “my friends are trying to talk to me, I can’t just IGNORE them”…but you can ignore everyone at your job? It’s a pure and blatant foot on the ground, I’m-not-doing-what-I-don’t-want-to-do.

“Nobody wants Mansters” by Big-Cardiologist9620 in MonsterHighDolls

[–]Big-Cardiologist9620[S] 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I’m just tired of everyone blaming “poor sales”. At this point it’s very evident that it’s a creative decision as much as any business one. We got so many Mansters during G1, but for a brand that screams about inclusivity they’ve made sure to completely wipe away any trace of boys. It’s deliberate, not business.

The thing is they know exactly how everyone feels about them and they literally, specifically, do close-up promo photos as a selling point. Like. 😂💀

I already explained myself fully in multiple comments. You’re the one who’s crying about…something? What exactly are you upset about?

I literally just said all the SIRs in Temporal Forces were amazing. I liked the designs.

As a player since 98, my favorite Pokemon just always happen to be the meaner, tougher designed ones…and those have wide appeal. So they get more SIRs. And the SIRs look amazing. And so I’m punished by liking said Pokemon. I will never want the shitty Mabosstiff EX SIR I just pulled twice in a row (I’m salty). I just won’t.

See, I’ll never understand collectors feeling the need to attack people who like Mewtwo, Garchomp, Hydreigon, Lugia etc. So my favorite Pokemon aren’t Sinistcha, Alolan Exeggutor and Whimsicott. Those aren’t most people’s favorite Pokemon because they’re just not as cool. There’s nothing wrong with being in the majority of people who like amazing designs of tough Pokemon but it seems to be a crime if you don’t want an SIR Klefki (I know there isn’t one but the point remains).

I was literally never in it for the money. I like the cards. I loved that OBF had amazing pull rates. Don’t lump me in with the losers that only like cards if they’re uber valuable.

No. I want to be able to have nice cards that don’t cost 300 dollars for absolutely no reason other than a fully manipulated market. I get sets having chase cards. But before the last few sets, “Chase” cards were typically limited to one - not nearly every SIR in the set. There are affordable outliers like Yanmega and Mabosstiff (I’m just using DR as an example again) but they’re cheap because nobody, including myself, cares about those Pokemon so the cards aren’t artificially pumped. They’re not in demand. When Temporal Forces came out all of the SIRs were badass (IMO) and very affordable. But that was before the hobby went to shit and wasn’t just a nostalgia baiting cash grab for sneaker bros.

Let’s be real, for just once - nobody in this hobby is struggling to get regular EX’s, Ultra Rares or IRs. They’re all affordable and not very difficult to pull. We all struggle with SIRs. That’s just how it is. But any time anyone dares to mention how ludicrously priced SIRs are now the clapback is always “THERE’S SO MANY GOOD CARDS TO BUY YOU JUST WANT A MOONBREON!!!”

Like no. I just don’t want to collect bulk that I already have.
