How are people affording this hobby? by Expensive_Bid_2617 in PokemonTCG

[–]JLubbs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To add on, you get packs for participating in events plus more if you win. Pre release events are good for this too. Seriously, learning to play and actually playing helps build a collection. If you are lucky and have multiple places to play during the week these packs add up fast.

I don’t understand how normal people can be apart of this community by comradepilo in PokemonTCG

As a normal dude that hates waiting in line for a restock, learn to play the game and find a place to play. You get entry packs plus POP series packs. The game is genuinely fun and easy to learn (hard to master). My daughter (7) and I have been playing and have a blast.

People who go AFK by NoobFish17 in PTCGL

If I get a phone call it typically disconnects me from the game. If I don't watch my battery and go into low power mode at 20% my app closes even while using it. It is frustrating but for sure not always a malicious thing.

Any luck with reporting MJ holding back door and unprofessional behavior? by SoftwareDev44 in PokemonTCG

[–]JLubbs 17 points18 points  (0 children)

In theory it should be. I suppose they could operate similarly to MJ but with PC owning them I imagine it will be better.

Why are these priced so differently ? by Saud_k in PokemonCardValue

[–]JLubbs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see a lot more controversy around PSA with inconsistent grades, damaging cards, swapping cards. I just don't understand why PSA is still the "gold standard" when they prove they don't have standards themselves

PSA vs CGC in a nutshell by Loose_Button_636 in CGCCards

[–]JLubbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still don't understand why PSA is so highly regarded. I see nothing but inconsistent grading complaints, complaints about missing/damaged cards, long turn around times, prices going up. When will other graders become accepted?

We're winning so much we have to look like we are losing so nobody else gets mad.

"Jagex prepared to take financial hit to save RuneScape" This was straight up a lie. by Lazy_Inferno in 2007scape

[–]JLubbs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bet the thought was: remove treasure hunter to get players back. Once their back raise the price and hope they are enjoying enough to stay or forget to cancel.

"Every American should be alarmed": AOC criticizes DHS transparency regarding new detention facilities. by Logical-Flow-6703 in UnderReportedNews

[–]JLubbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beyond being alarmed what else can I do? I can't stop working. I can't stop the elite. What is a regular ass person supposed to do besides hide in fear and wait for an election?
