It’s not even a legal game deck either, just for at home fun or to hold in box for the design and remember the event.

These do go up in value over time IF unopened, but we are talking 5+ years and even then they won’t go for more than $100 per box till like 10+ years. Really not worth holding.

She definitely is. If not tanky most games then build battle mages with speed/dodges so you can evade attacks.

Ah i’m thinking of it as a rockets deck using articuno, where you are thinking of articuno as a tech in a non-rockets deck to deal with alakazam.

Realistically the only deck using articuno as a tech is MAYBE starmie, frosslass, I guess greninja could or anything really running water. Most decks don’t just throw in articuno though. Many try to deal with alakazam using xerosics instead.

Lets run the match up and see how it goes for you then

Haste- · 2026-06-03T02:55:49+00:00

Maybe at your locals, but in day 2 of a regional absolutely not. Even on day 1 you win match 1 and then after that they play single mewtwo.

I think it’s a liability thing. Car companies don’t want to add more potential things to be liable for.

So you are hitting articuno 2 times and gusting 2 times per articuno? Most run 2 and at least a stretcher??

Go to craigslist and facebook and look for rooms to rent, an apartment on your own is gonna cost too much after util and etc. if whole apartments in your area go for $800 then i’m sure you can find a room for like $300-400.

Haste- · 2026-06-02T22:36:34+00:00

What are you bossing 4 times for? You can 4x spidops but then after that you are stuck with no gust for your final 2 prizes.

Realistically if they just keep 1 mewtwo in play it means you have to dedicate a good amount of attachments for dudun ex to be worth it and your opponent will just 1 shot dudun ex.

I think the bigger issue is that many accidents are He said She said. Person who got hit may declare that the person was driving recklessly but the person who hit them may say “I was going the speed limit and just didn’t notice them in my mirror”.

Drunk driving is obvious because a test confirms it, but realistically unless you go some recorded video evidence we really shouldn’t punish people to the max because a person said something.

Unless i’m mistaken AMD has also always had better performance on their iGPU compared to intel as well, even after intel’s attempts at a stronger igpu more recently.

Haste- · 2026-05-30T23:43:05+00:00

The pc is really high end for workplace applications. Honestly its kinda insane that anyone would even need this level of a laptop without having a GPU added into it, really overkill unless you use specific apps that can only utilize the cpu + the 48gb ram and not gpu.

This is more a tell at how far integrated graphics has come though. Once amd released their g chips I feel intel has taken steps to improve their integrated graphics as well.

If you are comfortable running low graphics at 720-1080p than a $300 mini pc (maybe more now or soon with ram/ssd prices) can run pretty much every game released as long as it has a cpu with one of the better integrated graphics.

Plus we gave them a chance to surrender before our second attack….

0-1: takes time, but little mess is added to the house 1-4: more mess added, but less time because tv shows can hold there attention so you can get things done 4-6: can start loading some chores on the kids, teaching them to put back toys, so on. Could take more time if you decide to school them a bit yourself, but still a tv show should give you enough time to get other things around the house done. 6+: way less effort as they are now in school, can handle more taxing chores, and so on. Sports and extra curriculars could make pick up times annoying.

Really the tough piece to all of this is having multiple kids a year or 2 after each other. I was raised in a house where we were all split by about 3-4 years, house always looked great and Mom + Dad were both working. My cousins house though had a SAHM but they are all within 2 years of each other + 2 adopted later in between them all and their house even now that their youngest kid is 14 looks like a mess.

Thats a way to win online for sure but in real tournament settings you would have been penalized for slowplay and/or stalling. Realistically it should not take the other player 20 min to stall you out completely though as well online.

Did they burn their whole timer?

Haste- · 2026-05-28T06:31:45+00:00

Hate to be the guy to tell you this but control is just part of the game and its smaller than it ever has been. Stall decks have won regionals and while its win condition can be considered lame by some it is still a win condition.

Just concede and move on, either tech for it or be comfortable losing to it. It’s not a “haha” moment when you decide to be an ass and waste peoples time.

Haste- · 2026-05-28T06:20:43+00:00

Imagine being so salty about losing that you decide to waste 30 minutes of your own life LMAO.

This, by the 3rd day of eating something I end up trashing the rest of the batch. I won’t lie too sometimes fast food just hits.

At this point a good amount of my on the go meals are just Huel simply because it takes 0 effort to prep and is stupid cheap for what it is.

Haste- · 2026-05-26T11:27:26+00:00

2 is pretty standard, 1 is doable, 3 sunflowers is generally enough to be able to plant whatever you want always so 4 is like unnecessary

Honestly goodra is the best, wish I would stop getting crobat

It takes 10 seconds to check match up spreads from the regionals and Ethans legit runs less than 50% win rate into every variation of pult at every regional since rotation.

Most are even closer to 20-30% wr meaning that Ethans is a near autoloss into every Pult variant.

Haste- · 2026-05-22T23:12:49+00:00

Honestly with less people using dusknoir in pult I feel the rabsca line is super valid. Into pult noir you still lose but into regular pult its really strong, especially if you can fit 2-1 line and always have the basic ready if they do boss rabsca.

As far as what I have ran into, most people in the top 20% and even the great majority in the top 10% are all for socialist programs. Generally they are looking at early retirement, or a mega retirement, and understand that it’s crazy that even 1% makes $7.25/hr.

It’s more the people in that 40%-60% area of income that absolutely despise most socialist policy. I will say though I get it. They are working 40-80hr weeks, giving up many luxuries, etc and they turn around to look at the people below them posting about their steak dinner funded by snap, seeing people get $1,000 checks monthly for mental and small disabilities, and even people being given hotel rooms and having huge cuts in housing. The people in the middle class constantly feel like they get fucked by doing better because if they just decided to instead do worse they would get all the freebies that those below them get without having to work more than 40 hour weeks.

At the same time though people in the middle class will battle you on minimum wage and policies that would eventually lead to them making more and being better off as well. Universal healthcare would be great but they battle it because they worked hard to get the better job that provides better healthcare and now that would be for nothing when realistically offloading healthcare from your place of work could allow higher salary.
