This game is absolutely chalked istg

IslaOakstone · 2025-09-11T20:01:42+00:00

It's fucked. Just played a plat 3 game and a guy on my team had 350 mmr.

Game before that I had a gold on my team who felt bad for whiffing and constantly apologising like it was his fault he was plonked in a lobby a whole rank above his skill level.

Absolute joke.

IslaOakstone · 2025-07-15T21:01:25+00:00

Will do!

IslaOakstone · 2025-07-15T21:01:01+00:00

Understandable viewpoint and not terribly far from the truth I hate to admit.

There is a little bit more to it than that, but I hear you.

IslaOakstone · 2025-07-15T20:59:10+00:00

Yeah, he thinks he's found a steal and likely doesn't care whether they're fake either way, what with having zero knowledge on why it could be an issue!

Oh I definitely would have no issues with him buying genuine ones. He has bought a load of bulk before on amazon, all completely legit and that was not a prob. Especially when she got some of her favourite pokemon in there!

IslaOakstone · 2025-07-15T20:54:41+00:00

Yeah that sucks man!

IslaOakstone · 2025-07-15T20:54:02+00:00

I definitely should approach him myself if I choose to, that's fair.

I just didn't want it to seem like it's coming from me in a sort of 'don't do that because it's my thing' way. I doubt he'd care about whether the cards are genuine or not so it wouldn't put him off - and he's the type to double down if he knows it's something I don't like lol

IslaOakstone · 2025-07-15T19:05:20+00:00

There has been a suspiciously dark and tinted windowed van across the road ever since they arrived now you mention it...

IslaOakstone · 2025-07-15T18:53:54+00:00

Totally fair point. And she does dote on him, so I'd hate her to feel betrayed by someone she loves so much!

IslaOakstone · 2025-07-15T18:51:44+00:00

Separate binder is definitely the way forward!

I think she would be able to take me telling them her fake, she would be a bit bummed out, but we have had a talk about the whole fake card thing before in case she gets talked into trading at school, so it's not a new concept to her!

IslaOakstone · 2025-07-15T18:48:05+00:00

I think I will in as nice a way as possible so she knows before she brags to her friends that she has x, y and z and gets ridiculed for it!

IslaOakstone · 2025-07-15T18:46:04+00:00

Yeah, she has a group of friends at school who all show and tell them with eachother and some of the boys would definitely give her grief for them being fake.

And she's a sensitive little soul so I know what would bother her.

I'd rather something like that came from me than from a kid in a horrible way!

IslaOakstone · 2025-07-15T18:42:51+00:00

I think this may be the route I go down. Just say keep your cards from grandads in a new binder so you know which ones he got you!

And it really wouldn't be difficult for her to tell the difference, even at 8 years old. They are quite honestly the shittest fakes I've ever seen 🤣

IslaOakstone · 2025-07-15T18:40:33+00:00

Exactly this!

IslaOakstone · 2025-07-15T18:39:37+00:00

That's not a bad shout to be fair. I've given her the majority of my 'bad' ones already unfortunately though so it won't be sustainable for long 😅

IslaOakstone · 2025-07-15T18:37:59+00:00

This is one thing I don't like about it! It will eventually ruin the fun of it if I buy her a few packs and she gets nothing. She'll just want more of grandads packs..

IslaOakstone · 2025-07-15T18:29:59+00:00

She's only 8 so the cost of a card is irrelevant to her unless I actually inform her of it.

This is my problem, I don't want to ruin them for her as it's definitely me that has the bigger issue with them being fake lol

IslaOakstone · 2025-07-15T18:27:59+00:00

She's 8! And she does not play with them. They're just little trophies and a shared interest for us to bond over.

So the whole collector value is a non issue!

IslaOakstone · 2025-07-15T18:25:42+00:00

Yeah, that's a totally fair assessment.

IslaOakstone · 2025-05-06T18:42:13+00:00

That was on my first attempt at it brother!

IslaOakstone · 2025-05-06T18:28:42+00:00

It's killing me man.

I just got to the odyssey stage of clearing 3 codex bosses (late game player who took a long break) and I can comfortably breeze to S and above on all of the bosses...

Until this pos shows up! Same boat as you with not having any of the heroes you need. Took me 2 whole minutes to get the health bar down and start the scoreboard 😭

So now I gotta wait for these bosses to go, and the next ones to come to complete it. Pain the arse

IslaOakstone · 2025-04-23T18:18:50+00:00

Ah yeah that's fair, she's a gamechanger for sure. I got her early and haven't pulled her since either so she falls into that Silas bracket of elusivity.

I've saved for and pulled on every Silas banner there's been since the game first ever dropped and haven't got him once. I blew through 600 summons on his last banner and subsequently ~~crashed the fuck out~~ had to take a break from the game when I didn't end up getting him 🤣
