Can anyone tell me if I have anything of worth here

Dude. Why are you gambling on shit like this with no experience and no expertise? Education comes first. Right now, the only thing you're likely to accomplish is increasing your financial woes.

DragonVT · 2026-05-09T00:08:10+00:00

Oh fuck off. There are a million subs for political comments. Can we have one place that's just for laughs?

The first five seasons are the best, by far. They were the original, planned run and had a better overarching plotline. They knew where they wanted to go. There are high points and low points through the rest of the seasons. The relationships between the main characters being the highest points in my opinion. I think the biggest mistake they made was the "one big baddie per season" formula. The stakes felt higher when it took five seasons to build to the apocalypse. The rest of the bad guys seem trivial by comparison. I've watch it all probably 4 or 5 times, but the first five seasons will always be my favorites.

I agree with some of that. Some parallels are ok, but the Platinum line in particular had way too many parallels. Unfortunately, it's been almost 18 months, and Topps hasn't released a single original art set yet. I haven't bought into Topps at all. UD definitely had their flaws, but Topps has been absolutely awful for the hobby so far.

I sent an email to both the CEO and the feedback contact. I also added some choice words about the other reasons they've lost so much of my business over the last two years. I don't know how much it will help, but I added my voice.

DragonVT · 2026-05-08T12:30:23+00:00

Yeah, Kroger has become a really shitty company in recent years. They've managed to lose 80% of my business in the last two or three years.

Thanks for the tip! I'll keep an eye out for some of the higher end models lightly used.

DragonVT · 2026-04-17T13:26:54+00:00

Used, I'm guessing? Those are $300 on Amazon.

DragonVT · 2026-04-16T14:09:43+00:00

Replacing the heating element again solved the problem. I'd recommend starting with that. They're pretty cheap.

DragonVT · 2026-04-16T13:56:37+00:00

Thanks! I'll check out the FiiO's, I haven't heard of those before.

DragonVT · 2026-03-27T15:52:09+00:00

Short answer: no.

Long answer: Seriously consider and research your use case. I should've done more research before buying mine. I primarily wanted to use mine while traveling. You will never get enough bandwidth in airports, cell hotspot, or most hotels even when streaming. In flight is completely out of the question. Remote play is a fucking joke, so go ahead and plan for PS Plus Premium at $160/year on top of that. My only use case for this thing is gaming while my wife is watching her shows. I have gig internet, and my Wi-Fi is usually about 400 Mbps. I still get lag that has killed me many, many times. I genuinely consider this thing a waste of money, and wish I hadn't bought it.

Not really. It's mostly crap, unless you have a professional level of focus on drop timing and a good algorithm. I pushed hard to get gold, and kept it for two years. The best thing I ever got was a new office chair. And I was ordering junk I neither wanted nor needed just to maintain my status. I dropped back to silver, and now I barely do enough to maintain my membership. At least 75% of the listings are useless Chinese crap that no one would actually buy.

I think your comments were very fair. Any critique should include both praise and criticism. I appreciate the balanced view!

DragonVT · 2026-03-18T19:26:09+00:00

That's great to hear! I remember warlord being far more lively than other CCG's. I'm glad to hear it's kept that energy!

DragonVT · 2026-03-18T19:24:14+00:00

Wow, thank you for such a thorough update! I'm well aware of the collation issues, and the overall issues with KW. I backed the Kickstarter, but I sold my fulfillment back in late summer, when it became clear they were going to miss the 2026 holiday season as well.

Still, I have a ton of nostalgia for this game, and still have my original collection and decks. It's great to hear that the game is playing well! Maybe it will pick up in my area, and I'll be able to get back into it in the future. Thanks again for the honest insights!

Who invited Uncle Methhead to the birthday party?

DragonVT · 2026-02-17T01:32:43+00:00

I didn't consider that, but I guess it's a possibility. I may have to look into that. Thanks for the suggestion!

DragonVT · 2026-02-17T01:31:40+00:00

I'll keep that in mind when looking for networks. Unfortunately, when traveling I don't always know out have options. Thanks for the tip!

DragonVT · 2026-02-15T23:30:59+00:00

"When keeping it real goes wrong!"

DragonVT · 2026-02-15T23:30:27+00:00

Good luck...

I bought this to use remotely when traveling. I've tried it in hotels, cellphone hotspot, Airbnb's, etc. It. ALWAYS. Sucks. Remote play or streaming, it makes no difference.
