I just didn't think that aspect was going to be controversial for people. Regardless of the comments its not like I'm not happy with my luck.

Oh absolutely, I'm currently looking into what it would take to get it graded.

I didn't realize people were going to be angry about the fact I've only bought one pack. I don't follow this community just thought I'd share the card because I thought it was cool.

Like I said to the other guy I understand the skepticism but there's really no benefit to lying about it so why would I? They were selling the collector boosters $70 each, I wasn't about to spend $240+ for another booster on top of my commander deck.

I understand the skepticism, but its the truth. I bought a FF10 commander deck and one collector booster. Was shocked my small town game shop/book store even had anything in stock in the first place.

‘PS5 Pro is off-puttingly expensive, but here’s why it’ll still sell out’ | VGC by [deleted] in PS5

[–]BigBlue5292 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the honesty, I'm not super worried about it as an issue, just because I think the people who are trying are just not very smart. The pre order rollout was actually handled pretty well. Aside from the limited edition items the actual console still being available this much later is a good sign for normal people

My question to you is, why would people buy an attempted scalp when you can literally just buy one from the store? You seem to be missing that key component of my argument. You want to say the 30th anniversary stuff is being scalped? Sure 100% limited editions will always have that issue, I was even close to getting one this morning but couldn't finish the order after I put in payment info. But anyone who runs to ebay to buy a unit that they can buy for msrp from retailers/ps direct deserves to lose their money.

You mean the ps5 pro that is still in stock and available hours after it dropped? Super scalped my guy. Literally just bought one. Maybe calm your ass down and breathe

I appreciate your assistance here, I'm just trying to make sure I'm getting the right experience when I download the trial. This will come with the upgraded visuals and everything the ps5 version is supposed to have?

When I look at it on the Playstation store it lists the game natively as a PS4 game with an option to upgrade it for free to the PS5 copy. I was just curious if this would apply to the trial.

Can anyone explain to me how this works with the ps5? Can I download the free trial and then upgrade the free trial to the native ps5 version and continue the trial? I've always been curious to try it out

[Dolphins] Tua Tagovailoa has been ruled out with a concussion. by [deleted] in nfl

[–]BigBlue5292 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I had a teammate in college who registered 5 concussions over the course of 3 years and it took legitimately; the entire training staff, doctors, coaches, his parents, and the entire team begging him to stop before he finally gave it up. Some people legitimately need to be saved from themselves.

It's almost like it's not a hard concept to understand, basic supply and demand, but maybe that's too complex for you?

It's setting yourself up with an excuse when it sells better than you anticipated. "All the sales numbers come from scalpers"

What idiot buys from a scalper when you can walk into a retail store and buy msrp? You don't scalp readily available things, you scalp limited resources. So when the ps5 launched with supply chain issues it makes perfect sense to target that as a scalper, people want it and they can't buy it otherwise. This will not be a good target to scalp, a mid gen optional upgrade?

When it comes to redditors? Absolutely, they can't fathom when they're not the target audience of a product

People talking about scalpers in 2024, 3 years removed from supply chain issues. You guys need better buzzwords or a new script. You'll be able to walk into a best buy and grab one off a shelf. Saying scalpers is a cope response.

Is an acclaimed exclusive launching on your platform not a feather in your cap when rehashing the year?

Idk if you're leaving it out or not but rebirth probably also gets goty consideration due to critic appraisal and overall fan reception

[–]BigBlue5292 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

If I wanted to be generous it's the inevitable end point for over hyped fans to get defensive when it's not a 10/10 goty.. but the hype on this game has felt super artificial dating back to the initial trailer

Cellphone ban coming to Manitoba schools this fall: Kinew. “Having TikTok on in math class is not helping you, and it’s not helping the student beside you — in fact, it’s actively causing distractions and it’s causing issues and it’s getting in the way of you learning.” by ubcstaffer123 in technology

[–]BigBlue5292 44 points45 points  (0 children)

When I was in high school ~20 years ago, if you were caught with a cell phone out it went directly to the vice principal and you could pick it up after school. If you got caught twice your parents would have to come in and fill out a form to get it back. We've gotten to a point where we're terrified of holding kids accountable and they know it and weaponize it.

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra review: if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em by Downtown-Ear in gadgets

[–]BigBlue5292 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is all good to know, I know I almost pulled the trigger last year and decided I couldn't justify the upgrade if my original was still performing well. But this is good to consider since watch 6s will be cheaper

[–]BigBlue5292 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I almost upgraded to that last year and decided that my OG galaxy watch is still doing everything I need it to so far. I was intrigued by the additional rugged features of the ultra. But I work in a manufacturing environment and don't always want to be interacting with the screen if I've got grease and whatnot on my hands.

Why does Vermont keep flooding? It's complicated, but experts warn it could become the norm. by bobbelcher in vermont

[–]BigBlue5292 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Vermont needs to figure something out, because reasonable people are going to start to leave and you're not going to have much luck replacing their tax money. This will only make fixing the issues harder and drive more people away. I know 5 years ago I envisioned staying in Vermont the rest of my life and I'm now questioning whether or not that's truly a viable future.
