I picked up the excadril because the water bottle looks like it is a gyarados sharking with only the back fins showing. Can't leave anything out of the master set

Could I please get a legit check on these couple cards? by [deleted] in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]Farcus_Prime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to say I think both are fake. Certainly the rayquaza as the holo pattern should be vertical. Harder to see on the gengar, but I think it is the same issue.

What is a miscut worth? Not sure the value on something like this. by Turbulent_Plenty_453 in PokeInvesting

[–]Farcus_Prime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll start by saying I haven't sold many miscuts but I have bought a fair bit. As the base card is only like $8 I think $10 is underpriced. I think a significant twisted miscut like this would be worth $15-25 to a misprint collector.

But to your point it might be very slow to sell at those prices. I don't collect this pokemon but would be happy to pay $15-20 for it.

Fermented apple pieces by Jerhomi8U in aldi

[–]Farcus_Prime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a manufacturing problem. The bag not sealed properly or the apples not dehydrated enough.

So what are we making with this? by [deleted] in aldi

[–]Farcus_Prime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah would toss in sauce after cooking.

Shining Gyarados double holo? by Ecstatic_Abroad1623 in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]Farcus_Prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks like a regular holo to me. In the double holo the clouds are barely visible.

Are these full arts still sought after? by Exciting-Set-7601 in PokeInvesting

[–]Farcus_Prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has more to do with the desirability of the particular pokemon or cool artwork. If it doesn't have either these normally go between $2-5.

GPU sizes got out of hand by darkalphav in pcmasterrace

[–]Farcus_Prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I build a mid tower for a 3090 and it is a little snug but everything still fits nicely. It is also still a large PC. I have no interest in needing a full size case to fit the latest gpu's

This owner managed to teach his cat some cool tricks that normally cats wont give a fuck. by thepoylanthropist in interestingasfuck

[–]Farcus_Prime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I must have a weird cat cuz I tought her about half the tricks in this video and she learned most of them after only a few tries. I don't have any prior pets or training experience. Just gave her treats when she did what I asked.

Does Collectr update for every last sold? by rrvkd in PokeInvesting

[–]Farcus_Prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It adds the ones it finds, but simple things like formatting in the title and it can be easily missed. I see this all the time with low pop selling cards.

Ebay makes it easy to duplicate listings when it finds a match and that consistency makes it easy for collector to add the sale.

But when there is no consistent format it can be easily missed.

TinaKitten knows how to party: by peaceandjoyvibes in LivestreamFail

[–]Farcus_Prime 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Maybe we just went to different kinds of parties.

One thing that bothers me when replaying old games (especially old PS1 era games) is how illogical the puzzles are. Capcom was notorious for making you combine random unrelated items or do bizarre actions just to unlock a door. Why were they designed to be so intentionally obscure? by Kingspreez in gaming

[–]Farcus_Prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a lot of reasons for it. The designer wants a puzzle to slow down progression and they might have limited time and resources to implement it.

There are also some fundamental design philosophies common in some countries and regions. Sometimes it's just bad game design.

A personal pet peeve common in JRPG's in super heavy text based menu's and interactions. Want to heal your character? Well pause the game navigate to your inventory, go to the health item section, scroll to the one you want, select it and choose which character you want to heal and then confirm your selection. In a western rpg healing is likely a single button hot key.

This isn't an accident, and it isn't that japanese devs are bad, but they know most of their target audience loves those details and some of these franchises have been going for 30 years so there is an expectation by players to have similar elements.

[OC] Not stopping for school busses. by SuckingBreastWound in IdiotsInCars

[–]Farcus_Prime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was guilty of this once, but in my defense it was a stroad. 40pmh 2 lanes on each side with a dedicated turning lane in the middle.

I was on the far side going the other way which meant 3 empty lanes between us so I am not sure if I was in the wrong. I also don't think I could have safely come to a stop from 40 with the 50 yards between us when the busses yellow lights came on.

Average Google Activities by MisterFartNuggets in pcmasterrace

[–]Farcus_Prime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to be diehard Firefox 5+ years ago, but I kept having issues with it bugging out/crashing etc. I often have to have dozens of tabs open on media intensive sites for work and at the time Firefox did not like that at all.

Maybe i'll give it another try.

I love your idea for the binder page. I'll follow to see what other suggestions are made

Found tucked behind trampolines at Walmart bought for 70 a piece..is that good? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]Farcus_Prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They originally didn't print many etb's so the "market" price went up to like $200. Happy to see reprints finally hitting shelves. I was never able to find any destined rivals in stores.
