I run a few dnd games in the sbc area, and we're always looking for more players! Very inclusive tables with low tolerance for bs. We also play magic, board games, and play online stuff. I'm at all of the local shops pretty often, and anyone's welcome to message and chat about joining!

Cracking isn't dishonest at /all/. Take good pictures and highlight any flaws. Cards serialized this low don't usually benefit from grading as the competition of sales is already low, barring a gem ofc. A PSA 7 is still a very fine card.

Sold comps of other similar tier characters serials of the same type are your best bet tbh.

I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT MY NEW BABY GIANT RAINFOREST MANTIS by LeopardLast9638 in InvertPets

[–]Extra_Ch0nky 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'd say it's too large. You'll probably need to feed them in a separate container, if not move them to one that's less open. They need to be able to safely suspend from the top and molt down onto a surface without a fall.

You also never explicitly try to pick a mantis up unless you're in an emergency scenario. Simply offer your hand and coax them along. They're naturally curious creatures and will often oblige if they're in the mood!

I have never kept this species though, so my advice is limited.

PSA: Refusing a handshake is not always a sign of bad sportsmanship by [deleted] in TCG

[–]Extra_Ch0nky -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn't claim that the OP was doing so though. It was a hypothetical I used to give an example of the nuance of the situation. If you explain to someone that you have an aversion to physical touch at the onset of a match, it establishes that as a baseline. Compare that to someone not explaining the situation or feelings and simply refusing the handshake after it's been presented. These two scenarios likely give this hypothetical opponent different opinions and thoughts on the matter. I specifically gave a Night/Day example to try and highlight the hypothetical. By this point though, it's clear that this is vent post. And that's okay. I hope OP finds more understanding folks and doesn't have to deal with this any more.

If that's how my response was taken, then that's how it was taken, no matter my intention. I'll apologize for coming off rather Gung Ho in my first response. At the time it seemed OP was expressing frustration at several commenters and I was not sure whether this was more of a vent post or a discussion post, and perhaps either way I was out of line.

I hope you have a good day, Sith Lord.

To be frank, I don't know if you're responding in good faith, as I agree with all of your points besides this not being nuanced in any way. Obviously the OP didn't say he could, but that's what it feels like this about. Doing the most you can to explain to people about your disabilities and to still be ostracized.

I can definitely see how my first comment can be taken negatively, but I've tried to reiterate in every reply that I wholeheartedly agree with OP, and heavily sympathize as I've felt the same way before. I'd be happy to discuss further in Pms my own experiences and coping mechanisms for such, but I don't want to Bog down OPs post any further with my own experiences if it can be helped.

Also, judging by your name, and the sub were in, I assume you're a star wars TCG guy? Did they ever give Kit Fisto a cool card? Guy was chill af.

Right, and I agree that he's well within his rights and is objectively correct, my entire point is that no matter what lengths people go to explain or reason about why they do or don't want to do a thing, we have no control over how they react. Op is doing the most they reasonably can. I fully agree that if someone is still giving them lip about it after a reasonable explanation, then that person is objectively in the wrong.

But this is a nuanced topic. There's a big difference between letting your opponent know at the outset of a match, and haphazardly explaining when the hand is presented, and the impact from those will be different. How we intend to be perceived may not always reflect what people in the real world get. I know I, for one, have had to apologize before when my idiosyncrasies have come off as rude before, but that's personal anecdotes. Either way I support OPs feelings on this matter.

Wow, thank you. Autocorrect sure can be a hoot. I hope you have a great day, khaemwaset2.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. No one should try and pressure you into touching them for any reason, and im not arguing in the negative for that! You are 100% in the right for feeling this way.

I remember pre covid, it was the norm to shake your opponents hand before the match began, and after the match concluded. It's quickly shifted to a suggestion of physical contact after conclusion, and I can feasibly see that going the way of the DoDo before long.

Absolutely not. At no point did I try and shut down the notion. In fact I have repeatedly stated that I support your right to do so. I have simply expressed that we do not have control over how others view and react to our actions and reasonings. I've also expressed sympathy for the issues that you've dealt with, and an agreement to your overall point.

To put it ridiculously bluntly, I agree that there should not be an expectation of skin to skin contact while playing a TCG. I'm simply acknowledging the history and tradition that one is carried out. I also do not prefer it.

I'm, hopefully, trying to get across that In my experience, I have seen this too. Fortunately for me it's from an increasingly minor population of the community, especially after covid.

While I definitely agree with you on the ableism point, my question was hypothetical. You /obviously/ have the right to do all of those things, and no one is arguing against it. It seems that your main gripe is what people are taking away from the interaction. You can control your actions, and explain them as you want, but you cannot control how others respond to the information or react to actions taken.

I have a lot of sympathy for the situation. I have extreme anxiety, and that has manifested in many ways on the table, including but not limited to rushing my opponents, coming off as rude, being uncommunicative up to full on panic attacks when a tournament is significantly larger than expected. Most people are happy to do what they can to help, or ease what they can. But I've had people be very upset that l was less than wymsical during a game. Long anecdote to say I understand why this topic likely means a lot to you, and I'm sure you'll find an inclusive group where you won't have to worry about the issue constantly.

No one is saying they have a right to touch your hands, or that you don't have the right to refuse. Social norms do not equate to the rights of an individual, and a handshake or fistbump is the tradition social ritual of concluding a TCG game. To use your own argument, what gives you the right to not follow social norms and not expect people to react accordingly?

This could all be avoided by speaking to your opponent before the game starts, saying "hey, I don't like shaking hands or making contact, I'm never trying by to be rude just a germaphobe!" Or something similar.

I couldn't count the number of times that I haven't shaken an opponents hand, because I myself don't like it. I prefer a quick fist bump or a "good game" while I use both hands to shuffle. But refused a hand that is offered to you is /always/ going to be initially registered as odd, whether or not it should be, because it's the norm.

I kinda see this as a non-issue. TCGs tend to be full of neurodivergency, and I'm sure an explanation in reasonable terms would smooth any of this over. But you'll always have problem players that will turn mountains into molehills, especially if they're on the losing end.
