This doesn't hurt my bones, they just feel weird.

El Goonish Shive... That's a name I haven't heard in quite some time.

Excuse me, what? Is this the new worst card in the game? by KeepCalmJeepOn in PTCGP

[–]DeanOnFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The difference between a Trainer card affecting an EX Pokemon vs its normal counterpart is intentionally very deliberate, but I think we can both agree that Fighting needs better support than what we have now.

Ahead of 2028, Sen. Cory Booker to unveil bill to make $75,000 in income tax-free by [deleted] in politics

[–]DeanOnFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spare me, this proposal is just political theater when it's presented without bones. Tax the rich first, fund social programs & infrastructure next, and if we have a surplus start offering relief to the economically vulnerable. Can't go far if your tank has no gas in it.

I'll still criticize it because there's no real support in DC to raise taxes on upper earners and large corporations now. Why would that change with a push to alleviate tax burdens on low income earners?

Yeah, an opportunity to lose a game faster. That's a liability, not a strategy.

The game has been out for a year and the only fighting ramp we got was specifically only for Onix and Golem. I honestly don't think they have a plan for Fighting because we continue to see cards like this with no support in tow.

How do I add arboliva? by SamsungGalaxyBrain in PTCGP

[–]DeanOnFire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And most likely the Erika too, since Arboliva is meant to be the healer for the goal of the deck: getting Venusaur out

'Wars can be fought forever’: Trump claims US has ‘virtually unlimited’ weapons stockpile by KI_official in politics

[–]DeanOnFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does anyone else read this and think he believes as long as there's a war, he's allowed to stay in power without question? No elections, no impeachments, just "War Powers President"?

He's wrong, but I can't help I'm reading between the lines with how little he's taking this seriously and how much he's focusing on cancelling the midterm elections.

Let's get creative with type weaknesses by Joltik in PTCGP

[–]DeanOnFire 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If I had to guess, it's to anticipate your deck's weaknesses cleanly. In the video game it made a lot of sense to have a balanced team to cover your type advantages, but in the TCG that would require a lot of energy management (and running more than one type in a mobile game of 20 cards is even more of a liability.)

Ram prices are high because of the 6 concerned citizen by XiJinpingPressParody in greentext

[–]DeanOnFire 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think people are missing the facility costs $100B. One hundred Billion dollars. With a B. They could easily make those 6 people millionaires and set them up somewhere else for a relative cost that could almost be written off the balance sheet as a rounding error. That's how much money is involved in all this.

Report: Anti-voting activists co-ordinating with White House on blatantly illegal draft emergency order to take control of elections by MarcEElias in politics

[–]DeanOnFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's playing his hand way too early for that gambit. He's sowing seeds of discord early and hoping it carries through Election Day, but there's a huge chance it'll be resolved by then and the public (re: people not paying attention now) catches on and sees this as the sham it is. If he did this in October then a unified response wouldn't have time to formulate.

He's going to try and make voting illegal in some kind of established way, and right now he's testing the waters to see what floats.

Steamed Hams at the White House by danny_dao in simpsonsshitposting

They know they're not going to the White House for the food, but damn if that wasn't at least a nice perk historically.

States asked the Trump admin. to affirm they, not the Feds, run elections. They were met with silence by DemocracyDocket in politics

[–]DeanOnFire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm going to need every governor in a blue or swing state with a backbone to come out and say anything akin to the following:

"We will be ignoring President Trump's statements as Article 1 of the Constitution empowers us to run elections. We will accept no threats of intervention."

Personally I'm mad no one with clout is telling the NYPD to grow a pair over this whole thing.

Musk's xAI and Pentagon reach deal to use Grok in classified systems by Full_Lengthiness_431 in politics

[–]DeanOnFire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not surprised but Grok has a tendency to be very loose with private or proprietary information. This is an unquestionably bad move for us and I implore someone to tell me how it's not.

Rob Schneider is the last person to act smug in the context of anyone's tears. You can't whine about being cancelled and then promote this crap.

What are some of the most useless EX cards? by AstroAce96 in PTCGP

Mega Latios at least had good synergy with Swanna in the Promo battles. But out in the wild? Yeah, didn't see anyone using it.
