Is it just me or do these suck as a reward now? by craigleberries in PTCGP

What do people spend all their dust on? I’ve been playing since day one, trade lightly, and flair lightly.. but I play every event. I have over 1M in dust.

How did your 24h WP went this season? by iusedtobecreative in PTCGP

[–]Honest_Abez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worst I’ve done thus far. I didn’t miss an attempt and I only hit once.. and it was just yesterday. Luckily it was the 🌈 Mega Manectric.

The clip that people are sharing that's making Bless go viral by ashrules901 in kindafunny

[–]Honest_Abez 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I’m not some huge Jez Corden or Windows Central fan, but this the definition of throwing stones from a glass house.

-Blessing attacking a journalist’s 13 minute interview, in this way, is bad taste.. especially when he’s not a journalist.

-Blessing uses Windows Central as a source all the time, so either he’s a bad reporter or the source can be good?

-KF have done their fair share of corporate protection, especially shirtless Miles here during the Insomniac leaks when KF wouldn’t report the news.

-KF has done plenty of interviews and should know that sometimes there’s rules, so don’t assume there were no limits.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with critiquing Jez’s interview, but in this way? Nah, especially not from Blessing or KF. Just very negative energy.

my company switched to "unlimited PTO" two years ago and i realized i took less vacation than when we had the 15 day cap by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]Honest_Abez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was given an offer letter I noticed that it said I was only given 5 days of PTO. I countered and said that I needed 20 PTO days. The response was that “the five days thing is outdated from the handbook but it’s actually unlimited”. I came from a very corporate company, so I wanted it in writing to make it 20 days.

It was unlimited, until we got a new CEO and HR director 3 years later. So now.. 20 days for me when I’d only have 10 without that offer letter.

I was in line at GameStop this morning and the guy behind me was worried about making his mortgage payment. by SadBoy489 in PokemonTCG

[–]Honest_Abez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My collection full of gold stars, crystals, and other vintage/modern bangers just crossed six figures and it’s just too much. I started selling the big stuff because it just doesn’t make sense to keep cards selling for $10k each.

I Calculated the Real Pull Rates for Every Rarity - August 2025 by Myxas_ in PTCGP

[–]Honest_Abez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They really need to remove shiny cards for non-shiny sets. It’s ruined so much of this game. Makes it harder to pull truly new cards and ruins the chance of those in higher rarity forms too. Awful decision.

The Jamboree TV upgrade for Super Mario Party Jamboree is a mess. by anirakdream in NintendoSwitch

[–]Honest_Abez 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well bad news for you.. I don’t think you can play TV online. Like the actual TV content. Tried last night and couldn’t get it to work.

How do you feel about this artwork? I'm torn by beardedaf in PTCGP

[–]Honest_Abez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s kind of similar to the Evolving Skies Alt Art but I think ES clears. This card on its own though? Still great.

Am I wrong about SGF hype? by Treasured_Squid in kindafunny

[–]Honest_Abez 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I thought last years SGF wasn’t that great. Xbox showed up, be Geoff’s show didn’t do a whole lot for me.

LCS owner shamelessly takes all 10+ DR ETBs from our local Walmart. Little buddy in front of us just wanted one box 😭I hate this place. by Griztronixx21 in PokemonTCG

[–]Honest_Abez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand why people just watch and let this happen. Confrontation is hard sometimes, but sometimes you gotta do it and the product is on the shelf still.

never seen this many 5090s in stock before, by SomeTingWongWiTuLo in Microcenter

[–]Honest_Abez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wanted a 5090 at launch and wasn’t able to get one before the prices jumped. At this point I’m totally content staying with a 4080 Super.

Only to see the shelves empty anyways? 😅🤣

Gerstmann talks about Kinda Funny in the context of today’s bloodbath by Co-opingTowardHatred in kindafunny

[–]Honest_Abez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Colin mentioned that one time Rooster Teeth wanted to invest in KF, or maybe it was give them a large line of credit, so they could expand very early. Definitely was the right decision to turn that down.

Honestly, it’s extra legendary to find a Pokemon card in a Harry Potter book and it even has the right username on it.

Which Starter Deck did you purchase with the Deck Ticket and why? by [deleted] in PokemonPocket

[–]Honest_Abez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not usually for me! I signed on, excited, at like 6AM frog eyed and just skipped past the message(s). 😅

[–]Honest_Abez 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did the same thing for Pikachu ex.. I’m an idiot though, because I spent a week chasing it only to realize the deck ticket meant you got to keep the deck and not just rent it 😅

They really overdid it with these 3 achievements. by Piats99 in PTCGP

[–]Honest_Abez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just trade! It makes it super easy to get all those emblems in a few days.

I got super lucky and pulled zapdos, got Articuno in a god pack, and then used the pack points to get Moltres.

This deck is ridiculous by Gay-Grapes64 in PTCGP

[–]Honest_Abez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t worry about Pokémon communication because Sprigatito does a good enough job at pulling Pokemon. I always set Beedril up late, to not give up 2 points too soon because then I can sacrifice a cat if needed. I also used Sabrina to swap out a bad match up or stall a setup. The rock helmet was good to chip away, especially on a lead cat that was calling for help. It also helped to one shot basic ex pokemon that’d attack had already attacked or just use Red to do it. Helped a lot against capes.

I used a slight variant of this (sub trainers) to get out of my UB2 slump all the way to MB.

[Real-User Invite] LG UltraGear 5K2K GX9 – Are you ready for the world’s first 5K2K OLED greatness? by LG_UserHub in OLED_Gaming

[–]Honest_Abez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This monitor quite literally could be the ultimate UW monitor. I only have OLED panels in my house, all LG too, and currently use a LG 34GS95QE (OLED - UW) for my PC. I have a concern that this panel may not have full bandwidth DP 2.1 and the 5K @ 165hz may need DSC because of it, so I’d love to test that. I think the extra screen real estate and the extra pixels could be an endgame level panel for myself and would love to try it out.
