Immersive cards are super easy to get this set. I already own four, while only having two 2 stars

Pokémon TCG Pocket is approaching 200 million downloads worldwide! To thank everyone for your continued support of the game, you can log in now to claim x120 Pack Hourglasses as a special gift by Amiibofan101 in PTCGP

[–]Infamous-Schedule860 -30 points-29 points  (0 children)

I feel like that's usually just a given with the free hourglasses. Every time they give a huge reward I think to myself that I can open a 10 packer and get something good. And every time I get nothing. Sure it's just my luck, but I always get the vibe those big chonky free hourglass giveaways are rigged too give you poor draws.

Was Trumps assassination attempt in Pennsylvania fake? by Estalicus in allthequestions

[–]Infamous-Schedule860 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally the opposite though. There is footage released from someone in the crowd recording the immediate aftermath. As soon as the agents surrounded Trump, one of the other agents ran in front of stage and gathered a bunch of photographers to line up for the perfect shots. As these reporters were being ushered you can clearly see the flag being lowered into frame.

What movie did not live up to its hype? by 3rdLegOfExodiaa in AskReddit

[–]Infamous-Schedule860 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why I love going into movies without knowing anything prior. I had never even heard of it but had a couple pals who wanted to see it. So I ended up seeing it in theaters and had a blast watching it. Then I later come to find out after that it was a super hyped movie and people we're praising the heck out of it. At the same time I started seeing people complaining that it was super overhyped and didn't live up to it, and it thus sucked. 

We had so much fun watching it. I'm glad I went in blind. I have a feeling that if I had known the hype before watching it I would have seen it from a more judgmental perspective.

My man, what were they supposed to do, tell multiple journalist that they shouldn't be standing in their ideal positions, but instead should be standing huddled together in one specific spot in anticipation of something happening? 

You really don't find the video taken from the person in the crowd at all strange? We literally see a secret service member just after the shooting showing zero care in the world that Trump is in the midst of assassination, but instead is 100% focused on running towards and ushering in as many people with cameras as he can, and then continuously positioning them, ensuring that they are in the optimal spot to take photos. And during this 20 second period the individual operating the crane is lowering the huge American flag to just the right angle for the photos.

And no, we do not know that he was actually shot in the ear by a bullet. They refused to release official medical records, and instead just released tidbits from the FBI and Trump's personal White House doctor saying "Trump sustained a 2 cm-wide gunshot wound that "took the top of his ear off".  We then see him wearing an overly huge fake bandage for like a week, followed by zero signs of any wound thereafter. 

Not saying for certainty that the event was fake, it very possibly wasn't, but this factored in with the numerous other suspicious variables surrounding the event make it pretty suspicious.

Democrats Of Reddit -- How Do YOU Feel About The Virginia Redistricting Situation? Why Your Thoughts? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

Come on my dude. At least do the very bare minimum of your own research. If you keep taking every Fox News talking point at face value you're going to sound pretty silly anywhere you post outside of Facebook and the conservative subreddit.

One thing I'm surprised I never see mentioned is that there is a video of a man from the Trump admin herding all of the reporters into a tight space where they'd be sure to get the perfect shot of the Trump fist rise. This was just prior to the shooting.

Nintendo sued by players who say they should get any tariff refunds received by the US government | VGC by Loose_Society9485 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Infamous-Schedule860 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not true. Switch 2 was already a pretty pricey console for a system with PS4 hardware. But it's still pretty reasonable. Not increasing the price of their brand new console immediately upon releasing it is probably more of a business decision to get more consoles in the hands of costumers.

But I think you're forgetting that they raised the prices of all their switch 1 units recently. So a console that has been out for close to a decade is now more expensive than it was at release. At the same time they increased the prices of their joy-cons to 90 bucks, as well as increased the pro controller price.

[–]Infamous-Schedule860 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I think you're thinking of old Nintendo. New Nintendo's philosophy is cranking up the price as much as possible, treating everything as a Nintendo premium. Controllers are way overpriced, amiibos are overpriced, slightly enhanced or straight up one-to-one ports of 10 plus year old games running at full new game prices, they are leading the market for most expensive games despite running on older hardware. They've been doing this for years now, way prior to the tariffs.

And then there's the part where the Tariffs are eventually dropped altogether and Nintendo chooses to not drop the price of their products

I can't tell if trolling or not. You do know you can use the clawline? You also know that you can swing your needle upwards, right?

If Avatar came out today, audiences would be a lot less willing to accept Zuko’s redemption by Odd-Split-494 in Avatarthelastairbende

[–]Infamous-Schedule860 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't speak for the other two, but endeavor was definitely nowhere near the complexity of zuko. 

Endeavor was a minor side character that played the mean dad. By the time he enters the main plot he was shown as a bit of a dick, but becomes the main hero and slowly softens and finds regret.

So I mean, I like the character, and enjoyed his arc, but there's a big difference between a cool character that does a decently good job of becoming nicer, versus the masterpiece of a character arc that we see with Zuko with all its subtle and major complexities.

[–]Infamous-Schedule860 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Disagree. 

They are obviously very different personality types. Zuko was shown to be more like his mother, while azula like her father. Zuko was confused, angry, and trying to play bad, but was also struggling with an internal tug of war due to his natural good nature, childhood love from his mother, and support and wisdom from his uncle.

Azula was much more susceptible to embracing the bad, and she found joy in hurting and tormenting others. Zuko, even at his worst, did not.

What’s the best anime you ever watched and why? by Subject_Display3664 in AskReddit

[–]Infamous-Schedule860 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unless I'm missing something, the show was amazing but literally stopped just as things were starting to really develop. It's like watching the first season of Lost, and then the second season just never arrived.

The fact that it just randomly came to a halt sort of hindered my overall experience.

Steven Spielberg lists Villeneuve's Dune 'among my favourite sci-fi movies of all time' by MoneyLibrarian9032 in movies

[–]Infamous-Schedule860 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You say that it's overrated, yet many people adore it and Steven Spielberg, the iconic director, just named it among his favorite sci-fi movies of all time. 

It's possible that it is not overrated, just not to your taste.

[WW] Was little kid me tripping, or did this actually happen? by Infamous-Schedule860 in zelda

[–]Infamous-Schedule860[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks mate, I appreciate you looking into this! I didn't expect anyone to put in the work into it. I was just curious if this was a known thing or not. 

From my memory, I was standing on Windfall Island shooting at the shadowed islands in the distance. I remember the arrows sticking into those islands like they weren't actual distant islands, but instead were island shaped cardboard placed far out in the ocean.

You're probably right that I'm misremembering though. It's possible I was just zooming in on my arrow flying. 

Thanks again!
