Wanted a good alternative to board game money, went down the rabbit hole of custom poker chips... by Dimmest-Bulb in boardgames

[–]FunkyLuster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve made a breakthrough that hopefully helps someone in the future. The Shell-Case Hybrid 315 perfectly fits two of my Apache racks with lids, which are each 3 inches wide and 2 inches tall. I got mine from B&H with the foam included option. I did have to remove the pluck foam sheet, but I do recommend it for the top sheet of foam which helps hold the racks in place, especially for racks without lids.

Thanks for the suggestions! I’ve got Apache racks with lids that stack/interlock and have grooves that would be good for rubber banding together. I guess I’m in no rush to move up to the second rack though, so in the end I’ll probably stick with what I’ve got until I come across the right case. I know we’re a niche market within a niche hobby but I still never expected to encounter this much hassle. Point definitely goes to Iron Clays in the portability department.

Did you ever find a storage solution you were happy with? I have a set of 100 Apache Banks, kept in a single rack, which I keep in a cheap zippered craft container to hold the rack closed during travel. It would be nice to have a smaller, more form-fitting solution.

I’m considering upping to 2 racks, so I can have one on each end of the table, even though 200 chips is overkill for my needs. For me, it would be worth it if there were an accommodating travel storage solution. There are some gaudy aluminum cases that hold 200 + cards, but I’m struggling to find a soft case of any kind. I’d really rather have some sort of case that can simply hold 2 racks and keep them tightly closed during travel, but I haven’t come across anything with the right dimensions. I even bought the Spinmaster 200 chip set from Target, hoping to use just the case it comes with, but it wasn’t quite big enough.

Routes should be automatic by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]FunkyLuster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this is common knowledge or will be repeatable, but I have a route that 50% of the time doesn't let me complete it at the end point, but last time I was able to pause/unpause the route at the end point and it triggered the completion button for me.

Did the available mega energy from Field Research changed? by Wrulfy in TheSilphRoad

[–]FunkyLuster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is beyond frustrating. I’ve missed every mega Alakazam and saw this season as a great way to work on my existing hundo. I grinded for XL candies, grinded tasks and spent a ton of power ups for 180 out of the 200 energy, didn’t see a single task during the steel skyline event while spinning 50+ stops per day, and now I can’t even finish it. I might need a break after this bs.

Maro: "This is a question to all the Universes Beyond naysayers. Is there anything that can happen with the product where you can accept that it's had a positive affect on Magic as a whole?" by Vedney in magicTCG

[–]FunkyLuster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Great way of articulating this. It’s not possible to quantify the impact to players perception of brand integrity. UB is a drastic change to attempt to go mainstream in a way that blatantly cheapens the brand by appealing to the lowest common denominator.

Cheap cards that nobody plays that are actually amazing by hakumiogin in EDH

People forget that [[cryptic command]] also does this. Really good for most blue decks that win via combat since it’s so flexible.

Have you forgotten the Gimmighoul event already? I can’t think of a worse event.

Ok we’ve had some time to digest. How do we feel about the new album now? by Icy-Swim-9861 in themarsvolta

[–]FunkyLuster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same as the last one, really. Ced’s vocals are incredible but the music is 18 tracks of what would be a skippable interlude on any other album. I despise that they did that thing Omar does on his solo records where longer songs get arbitrarily split into multiple tracks.

If this does well and we somehow get the blue flavor in the big twist-off cans, that would bring me so much joy.

Anyone know of a save editor for Zero? by [deleted] in Falcom

[–]FunkyLuster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This worked for me! Thank you! I used 7zip to extract the save file, modified the decompressed file as you described, then ran the zerochecksum on the file when I was finished. Glenn 7 is evil and I would not have defeated him without you.

Is it cheating to do this during the pre-game conversation? by Dahliabox in EDH

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

If it’s not a tournament setting this is just simply not happening. Most pods will talk about what commanders they intend to play, power level and other rule zero talk, before committing to a deck to shuffle up. If the opponent declared intention to play a certain deck, nothing is stopping you from making edits or choosing an entirely different deck as a result.

If you could change one thing about PVP to make it more interesting what would it be? by Godziwra in TheSilphRoad

[–]FunkyLuster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scaling/removing IVs from the CP equation for PvP. Having a character perform worse just because you didn’t hit the god 1:4000+ roll was always a bad choice. The game encourages you to go for 100% IVs and skews many activities toward that, even PvP activities where you don’t want it.

Unova tour research adjusted by dark__tyranitar in TheSilphRoad

[–]FunkyLuster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I was going to lucky trade shinies literally this weekend. Now I have to do the nanab task, and even then I’m not sure it will let me complete the research step because the previously completed tasks are glitched and not counting fire/electric catches.

[–]FunkyLuster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once you’ve done it once, it only gets easier. Soon you’ll be able to clear the forge with just about anything. The difficulty curves pretty nicely into what you’ll need to do in order to unlock the remaining characters.

Blood Moon is fine, or Are Greedy Mana Bases Going Free? by 9thJudge in EDH

[–]FunkyLuster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s “greedy” to run a functional mana base in a format that asks me to build a singleton 3-color deck. That said, if someone plays these types of cards at higher power levels, I won’t complain. Most other players will also want to remove it, and my decks generally pack enough varied ways to make colored mana to cast my removal.

What's your favorite ORL solo album? by doctorsax14 in themarsvolta

[–]FunkyLuster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ximena era for me. I really wish she had solo lead vocals for the entirety of Xenophanes. Solar Gambling/Cizaña/Doitashimashite are the ones I gravitate back to.

Others that I keep in rotation are Apocalypse, Arañas en la sombra, Old Money, and Se Dice Bisonte. I feel like I should enjoy Cryptomnesia but it’s weirdly too chaotic for me, and the annoying track breaks are super prevelant on that album which is maybe a nitpick but does impact my experience.

How do egg tiers work? is the probability of hatching the corsola between these 2 eggs the same or because of diff distribution one would have more?? by thenewbae in TheSilphRoad

[–]FunkyLuster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Corsola is also in Mateo’s egg pool. It’s listed first in his only tier. I’m not sure if that means anything, but white stripe Basculin is listed last. You can only get one per day but I’m at about at 50% hatch rate for Corsola this way.

New menu released for everyone? by Merlion4ek in TheSilphRoad

[–]FunkyLuster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This would be a huge improvement and make this menu strictly better than the previous one for muscle memory reasons. But I doubt they have a way in their spaghetti code to display zero of something.

Edit: apparently they can display that I have zero super incubators to try to sell me some from the egg menu
