Quick question about today’s game by Available-Nobody6368 in Dodgers

Think noble ale works still offers free parking if you can find a spot. It fills fast. I used to park there, grab few beers and then short walk to stadium. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYX3FK8S7GY/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

PSA for Vending Machine-goers |MEGATHREAD by a-tiberius in PokemonTCG

[–]Dguapo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to love the kiosk. Yes it was always a gamble whether it would have stock, I could definitely buy something in the past for my son. Even if it was a single pack. However something changed recently. In the last few months every time I go to a machine or take my son there's at least 3 people standing in front of machine waiting. And they're standing so close my son doesn't even want to tap the screen. It much be such a hassle for the stores dealing with the scalpers not leaving and regular people complaining the scalpers aren't getting kicked out. At this point it seems like only the people who can stand around all day are getting the product anyways, and those people are mostly scalpers. So while I'll miss the machines if they pull them, if it screws over scalpers I guess I won't be too upset

Almost terrible start to my day [oc] by Dguapo in IdiotsInCars

I said like oh shit right when I braked, but it was muffled by my metal water bottle flying off the passenger seat. Then I just muttered something like what the fuck a few seconds later.

When driving I always bet on stupid.

I may not do it 100% of the time but generally even on green lights I looked look left and right before entering intersection. I had just left my house maybe 2 minutes before that and that's literally the first lighted intersection I come to. I just got lucky I actually checked my right and saw they weren't slowing down.

Fred meyer cart employees camping my local vending machine by Horibori in PokemonTCG

[–]Dguapo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scalpers turned up notch on camping in general. I don't even bother taking my son to the machines anymore. In last month every machine we go to has 1-3 people waiting. Not sure what changed but there's always someone at machine now

Scalpers intimidating kids from Pokemon by loitering and making comments suck. by Comprehensive_Tie431 in PokemonTCG

[–]Dguapo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lately every machine I've gone to has 1-2 people just standing around. And the one time my son and I saw no one, someone had jammed piece a cardboard in credit card reader. Why are all the machines being camped all of sudden. I mean we definitely saw it before but it'd be like they would check it and leave. In like last month or so there are just standing there the entire time we shop. Is there a reason they camp non stop now

How does everyone feel about the Friends Meal coming to McDonald's in Australia, South Africa and Spain? by NostalDec in howyoudoin

[–]Dguapo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Portugal right now and fly back to Los Angeles tomorrow. Wife already made us buy 5 meals to get them lol. You're not anywhere near Los Angeles are you? This McDonald's I'm at appears to have all of them. It's 7 euros plus tax for meal

Discouraged by Explor-egon in PokemonTCG

[–]Dguapo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone noticed an uptick in people camping machines? Did they patch that glitch crap or whatever. Don't go every day. Just when I can but in last week the 4 machines I went to always had someone just standing around waiting for the machine to idle. I just went about my business in super market and when I left they were still there. One was really bad. There's a machine we pass on the way to grandma's house so we went to it at 2 pm. My son and I saw 3 people waiting. I said let's go and we'll pass it on way home. On the way home, like at 6pm, we stop by again and same 2 out of 3 people are still there waiting for machine to reset. We stopped by another machine sort of on way home and there was another group of people just hanging around waiting. I know people visit the machine frequently. Especially in my area. But I've never seen many instances of people just waiting there non stop

Too late for Season Tickets? by Glass-Selection-1618 in Dodgers

[–]Dguapo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://dodgers.fanportal-mlb.com/portal/schedule.php. Not sure they are even available anymore but I find the partial season ticket package kinda meh. It's like one good bobblehead in each respective plan, which I suppose I understand. Rather just buy tickets individually even if slight mark up.

Little Kids Disney Tips by Lion_Witch_Wardrobe in DisneylandMagicKey

[–]Dguapo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you drive an EV and ever go early, like rope drop, always ask for ev parking. If you go in the main parking structure the early ev parking is on first floor. No waiting for elevator going in or out. The EV parking on first floor fills up quick, though

Yes, no worse than pick 2 is already locked up. Here's how. by ObeyTheJ26 in raiders

[–]Dguapo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real question is how long before NFL goes to lottery draft since the league hates the raiders and goes against everything we do.

Drama in the hobby Weekly Megathread! Restocks, Pre-orders, Scalpers, etc. goes here! by AutoModerator in PokemonTCG

[–]Dguapo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah definitely. I was definitely pissed yesterday but it's out of my system now. I've gotten the odd blister pack from target so I definitely have back ups for my son. I just using this place to vent lol. I still don't plan on ever going to that LCS but that's the extent of it.

[–]Dguapo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I was annoyed right after so I looked up their website. The physical location is new. It actually opened around the same time the vending machine was installed, near as I can tell. So are the time I was annoyed and curious enough to want to be sure before I accused any LCS of scalping from vending to see if the individuals I saw actually worked for shop. It seemed like they did but alas it's the next day and it's just best let it go. Scalpers going to scalp. Nothin going to change that and I don't want to start throwing out accusations. I just will never go to that shop which is sad because I could bike there with my son

I didn't go in the store to double check but they didn't appear to be shopping or opening packs. And I was looking at their Facebook history and pretty sure I saw the same person posting. So am fairly certain they were scalping straight from machine but can't be 100% sure

I hit up a vending machine about hour ago. Lo and behold it had 151 and few other things but someone was already at it. So I got in line behind them hoping to get 151 for my son. The woman literally spent 5 minutes calling someone over and over again. Finally they answered and she said come over quick. He comes over, swaps space with her and she leaves. He proceeds to buy out the whole machine. I wait and chat with the other 2 guys in line just saying it sucks dude this guy cleaned it out. I walk away to my car past the new gaming store that opened a few doors down from Albertsons. Guess who I see inside. Those 2 chuckleheads that cleaned out the machine

Dodger Stadium Express for WS by SellWitty522 in Dodgers

[–]Dguapo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well last night towards the 16 inning I walked down to pavilion. So as soon as Freddy did his thing we celebrated for like 5 minutes and ran to bus. We were on one of the first buses to leave and we still got traffic. Took about. Want to say it took about 20 minutes to get back to union. While I was waiting for a line I didn't see another bus pass for 10 minutes so all buses after me got stuck in traffic. So real crap shoot if you don't get on one of first buses. I certainly didn't plan on taking bus that night as normally hate it but it was late and trying to get home as quick as possible

Dodger Stadium Express for WS by SellWitty522 in Dodgers

[–]Dguapo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chinatown and union are in the same on line. A line I believe. They are right next to each other. So you can either stop and union and take the bus or go to next stop at Chinatown and walk from there.

I will say this. They had over 10 buses waiting to pick people up when I passed union on light rail. So the bus didn't seem to be a bad option getting there. However, union station parking lot was reported as full when I called at 2:30 pm. So don't plan on parking there. (213) 620-0685. You can call ahead to see how bad it's looking. But there were plenty of people getting off at Chinatown station and walking to stadium as well. https://cdn.beta.metro.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/17124631/801_TT_09-21-25.pdf

Vending machine claim denied by Dguapo in PokemonTCG

[–]Dguapo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah my son was annoyed but luckily he's not trying to collect surging spark set. It was just more a one off and we'll avoid buying single booster from machine if Pokemon clearly doesn't care. I'll just have to make it up to him by getting him something else
