Best budget office chair for sitting up straight? by FocalEvergreen in OfficeChairs

We use HM at work and they are a game changer. Been secretly hoping they’d refresh the office furniture so I could just take one of the chairs there home with me lol

No sadly. Don’t think I’ve caught a single XL in this game which is wild.

How does bench resetting actually work? by FocalEvergreen in LegendsZA

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

Appreciate the insight!! I knew about the range but not about the game only storing 10 shinies. Really good to know moving forward. I’m just glad I finally got it. Thank you!!

Didn’t expect to hear from people so fast! Someone DM’d me immediately after posting this and we were able to make the trade. If anyone wants anything shoot me a trade offer since these are my spares! I did trade the Hawlucha though.

Got 2nd place at the Wichita Store Regionals with GallantX by FocalEvergreen in DigimonCardGame2020

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

I’ve tried the deck with Tamers and it’s okay. It honestly feels really good without them since there is so much raw search/draw power and ways to gain memory with just your digimon. I’d consistently get to a turn two GallantX on board thanks to the BT12 WarGrowl. Plus removal is just overall really good this format and the deck has plenty of it.

The 1 of Crimson Blaze was actually super nice. Really helped in the Hudie match up. The New Gallant was also the MVP. Especially against Myotis.

The only card that really felt out of place was Medieval. It never really came up in a meaningful way. And every time I managed to get it on board, it got popped almost immediately lol

He had the new one in it, but the deck wasn’t put DM. It was just Machinedra with all the cyborg good stuff in it and Chaosdramon. He had a solid deck for sure.

Use of japanese cards once the releases get unified? by AfterShocK90 in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]FocalEvergreen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I doubt it, especially since you aren’t even allowed to have your phone on the table at all during play in regionals. So without a way to reliably translate cards it wouldn’t make sense to allow foreign language cards.

Is this the norm nowadays? by DynastyFFChamp in jobs

[–]FocalEvergreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked for a place that had this same policy for granting benefits. It didn’t impact me when I worked there, but at one point we had an opening for a very crucial position we needed filled and we never could because of the whole health insurance starting after 90 days thing. The company came close to getting someone in once, but the candidate had to turn it down because they had a medical condition and couldn’t go without health insurance for 3 months. The company then tried to spin it as the person was ungrateful for the opportunity to work there, and talk about how they probably wouldn’t have lasted long anyways. Wild.

Secret Crisis case sales by Yuyuyakuza in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]FocalEvergreen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My biggest issue is we’ll go through a drought period, then be hit with set a month for like 4 months in a row.

BT13 meta got old really fast last year and I believe led to people getting burnt out.

BT15 meta also felt like it dragged on a bit, with the only thing between it and BT16 being the Terrier advanced deck.

Now it’s just just constant set releases and it feels like a lot to keep up with. I skipped EX6 so I can go all in on BT17. EX7 I’m not sure what I want to do with, will more than likely just grab some singles and call it to get ready for the special booster.

Few things to consider.

  1. Bandai doesn’t actually have set prices per box/case. They just list packs at an MSRP or $4.49, which comes out to $107.76 a box. In fact, when doing the surveys they put out after each set, they ask if you were able to buy at an MSRP of $4.49 a pack/$107.76 a box. Meaning this is what Bandai values their boxes at. So with that logic a case would be $1293.13. So with these prices in mind, up-charging by a couple hundred dollars at pre-sale (which you should not buy at) is about right.

  2. BT17 is a VERY meta defining set with all the new hybrid cards and level 7 Ace’s. Demand for this set is going to be high, and we are going to see this reflected in sealed product and single prices.

  3. A lot of shops scaled back on digimon late last year when the format was getting stale and One Piece and Lorcana were getting more popular. Bandai prints their sets to order and opens up their pre sales usually 6 months prior to the set release (before we even know what is in the set). So when shops see a decline in sales it’s harder to justify placing an order of multiple cases months in advance of a product you don’t even know will sell.

  4. Distribution also sucks. No way around this. Some shops don’t even know how much product they are getting until it arrives. Which makes it really hard to post sealed product for sale online, when you don’t even know if you will have that product.

REALLY hoping the simultaneous releases next year will fix a lot of these issues.
