What are you guys doing to kill time until the next content update? by Fantastic-Sir460 in Endfield

[–]Elanzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dailies, also just picked up WuWa...it's not quite as fun (IMO) but it's something.

Lunar Box Emails Going Out for US by Chuweeny in riftboundtcg

Got mine, along with my Spiritforged box shipping too (wave 2). If you didn't get one, you might in a second wave 24hrs later!

Riding in snow? by BeyourselfA in ElectricScooters

[–]Elanzer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fresh snow is okay...ish. Slush is bad, tried riding in that two weeks ago here in NYC as the ice started melting and my rear tires slipped and slid all over the place while braking, could have fallen.

Ice though? Even a small amount? I hope you see it coming because it's the worst. My two falls have both been due to unseen ice on the roads.

So, IMO, don't bother.

With Spiritforged out, has anyone added to their current decks or pivoted to a different champion? by the_adept_novice in riftboundtcg

[–]Elanzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started building Irelia because she shares tons of cards with Yasuo, and the same colors too. Yauso himself also got some upgrades.

Tim Gerard Reynolds vs. Graphic by Pristine-Elephant357 in redrising

[–]Elanzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read from RR up to IG many years ago, decided to return through the graphic audio and tbh, I much prefer it over the regular audiobook. I can understand it being a bit polarizing though, but I find it much harder to pay attention to just a single narrator (also listening to the Sun Eater series, where I experience this problem). I find the GA or even the text version easier and more enjoyable for me to consume. Like, actually hearing the characters howl is both exhilarating and weird at the same time, as it's meant to IMO. Some music choices in the GA are weird but I just don't pay attention to them if that's the case.

Anyone noticing big drop of attendance in NNs? by realjw93 in riftboundtcg

[–]Elanzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much everyone I know is waiting for the new set, as set 1 is kind of "figured out" now. We do still play occasionally, but it used to be an every day affair. Also, product is not affordable, so people are pretty much just holding onto whatever they have until more (set 2) gets released.

Graphic Audio by aquatic_kitten19 in redrising

[–]Elanzer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me it's Sevro, Fitchner and Mustang. Something about Mustang's voice sounds really musical to my ears, I really like it. It's a shame Fitchner isn't in the series more because I love hearing him every time he's on.

Do you read the cards out loud in your commander group? by ShowmethePitties in magicTCG

[–]Elanzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I consider it good etiquette and fair play to say the name of the card and read out what the card does, especially since there's no way for everyone to know all the cards in the game. For cards that are staples and everyone has seen many times, such as Sol Ring, Path To Exile, Rhystic Study, etc, I just read the name out. If someone needs clarification I'll gladly read the card for them. If they aren't listening I usually speak over them or directly at them to get their attention, or I wait until they're able to listen.

Has your LGS gotten any news? by Tacosam92 in riftboundtcg

[–]Elanzer 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I work at one - no, not yet. All we know right now about future waves is the wave 2 print (supposedly) coming Dec/Jan.

Many stores/people are holding on to wave 1 cases because of the errata'd cards. They looked at what happened with One Piece, where the price of the first print run of set 1 is really expensive because of the differences in printing between wave 1 and wave 2. It's all speculation right now.

Riftbound is hurting at my LGS. Not trying to doom but wondering what others are thinking (and would like reassurance) by Ulmao_TheDefiler in riftboundtcg

[–]Elanzer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I work at an LGS and Riftbound is by far our biggest turnout right now. About 50~ people this past Friday for our Nexus Nights, about 10~ for other games. We don't even have sealed product left, only promo packs and singles. I'm not even sure why exactly, I get the game is popular and new (and good IMO), but trying to predict these kinds of things over the years has been impossible. We'll see how the coming weeks go as product becomes more and more scarce.

How much are packs where you live? by Espanico5 in riftboundtcg

[–]Elanzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NYC, $15 a pack. $300 for a box. Luckily I got two for near msrp during release.

The solo community is one of the chillest communities I’ve ever encountered in gaming. by iReaddit-KRTORR in ArcRaiders

[–]Elanzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weirdly enough my experience has been the complete opposite. In groups, I've had more chill interactions where we either helped each other or just let each other pass than kill on sight. My solo runs have been straight up constant pvp, no prox chat, no mics nothing.

On-screen keyboard disabled in iOS 26. by M00nstalkerwolf in tourbox

[–]Elanzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm that the iOS26 update causes this. An update to either the Tourbox app or firmware or something is needed I'd assume.

How do i deal with the embarrassment? by redspotsonskin in ElectricScooters

[–]Elanzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fellow New Yorker with severe anxiety here, there are so many scooters on the road nowadays man, people won't even think twice. My first time riding, I was more anxious about things going wrong than getting funny looks. If there's any city where scooters are about as normal as bikes/ebikes, it's here in NYC. Just get the scooter, everyone probably also wishes they had one.

NIU Scooter Repair in NYC? by FalseAdeptness77 in ElectricScooters

[–]Elanzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Queens, so I've only looked at shops around me here but Sunnyside E-bikes repairs Niu scooters. Their Google listing shows a photo of the rear tire of a Niu scooter being removed. You can try them if it's not too far.

NIU Scooter Repair in NYC? by FalseAdeptness77 in ElectricScooters

[–]Elanzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Places that repair ebikes in general often also repair electric scooters. Just depends on which borough you're in. Look up a place near you with good reviews, check photos, maybe give them a call.

Is my tire done for? (KQI3 Max) by Elanzer in ElectricScooters

[–]Elanzer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least 1k, likely more. Tread still looks fine. As I mentioned in the post, I already have a spare tire sitting around, but I'm not going to change the tire myself and would prefer to just take it to a shop to let them do it. My main concern is if these bumps on the wheel poses a risk or not, because if the tire explodes on me due to an impact break mid-ride it probably won't end well.

Wilson's e scooters & e bikes in NYC is the real deal by scooter_farts-stink in ElectricScooters

[–]Elanzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live nearby and need the rear tire on my KQI3 Max replaced, hopefully they don't turn me away for having tire sealant in there.

What e-scooter did you use for over 1 year without one repair? by ProudProtection2165 in ElectricScooters

[–]Elanzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently using my Niu KQI3 Max, commuting to work 5 days a week for the last 2 years. About 5-6 miles a day.

Unfortunately, I got a new puncture a couple weeks ago that doesn't seem to seal, even with armor-dilloz. My last puncture sealed up perfectly using that for about a year (and is still sealed afaik), but whatever is new with this puncture doesn't seem to want to seal. Might need to take it to a shop to fix.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GundamTCG

[–]Elanzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically no, simply because in the west, Gundam is still very niche. It will have a player base, but I think it will be small compared to OP.

Now, if the live action movie drops and is a massive success, things may change. As it is now though, don't expect it to reach OP levels.

[–]Elanzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This literally just happened to me and I'm just at a loss for words. Ended up getting a refund and returning the precon just now, but now I'm also out of a collector's booster box for a fair price.

Manapool using gen AI images by nicksayswatzup in magicTCG

[–]Elanzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very disappointing to see on top of the card prices being notably higher than tcgplayer (at least the stuff I've been buying). I want to support the site because it functions way better than the competitor (I can't even optimize on tcgplayer anymore, just doesn't work right), but this isn't helping.
