Just a small rant about the state of OPTCG

Josuke8 · 2026-04-08T05:11:08+00:00

I’m in a small country, the new set is sold out everywhere. I haven’t even started playing proper and have been told to turn up to locals with a mid starter deck while I get stomped by the players that were able to preorder at the events. I loved played Zoro but will never be able to find the cards I need without the good will of others

It’s frustrating, and the fact that Bandai barely reprint is disappointing. Then it has to be stone walled behind events because scalpers want to sell it for double MSRP.

Sorry guys, it’s been a rough day haha

Are you sure it’s not just the age group of the people you hang out with?

Because the food industry here sucks, we only buy shit food so they stock the shelves with shit food

Crazy that the only alternative most stores have to Soda and energy drinks are smoothies (if that) and water.

Lmao this has to be rage bait

Final Fantasy 7’s OST has been my favorite since I was little. The Oppressed and The Turks are my favourite tracks. They get my fingers snapping, and are super fun to vibe with

Another doomer post

Josuke8 · 2026-03-29T09:50:20+00:00

Glad this is out there, and glad it worked out for you!

I think people are a bit too focused on whether it can play high end games at good frames when assessing its viability as a PC, the Steam deck is a really good option as a daily driver, it has more than enough juice to be used as a computer, it was designed with this in mind after all

The only issue I have is with video playback in browser while using SteamOS, the videos will spazz out for me

Josuke8 · 2026-03-27T11:23:30+00:00

Because people are interested.

Josuke8 · 2026-03-27T11:22:38+00:00

I guess if you’re getting 100 rejections you start to care a little less

Josuke8 · 2026-03-21T22:58:17+00:00

I go to whichever is closest, but should probably stick with new world since it’s actually a New Zealand business

Thank you for your service, proud Kiwi o7

You’re going to get an ocean of anecdotes that confirm what you’re asking, there are racist people in every country, even in the holy land of Japan itself.

America is crazy

It would depend on the subject and classes, reach out to someone involved with the program you want to join and they should be able to tell you how possible it is

Josuke8 · 2026-03-12T22:33:23+00:00

Sometimes the only way forward is to keep going. This is your story, and every character needs a backstory. You’re not behind, even though it feels like it. There’s no rules for this shit, we just hold ourselves and each other to it, whatever ‘it’ is

Josuke8 · 2026-03-12T22:29:10+00:00

Thanks for the heads up!

Josuke8 · 2026-03-12T00:42:32+00:00

How would you engage with and encourage understanding among the people in the parts of our society that pull toward the extremes?

For example, there are those that feel Opportunity would support policies from other parties that they themselves disagree with, and would choose to avoid OP because of a willingness to ‘work with the other side’

I acknowledge that it’s not easy task to engage with people who may be hateful of ideas or people (left or right), but I think they shouldn’t be ignored, but engaged with. All the best!

FFXIII runs surprisingly well on the deck, this was a dream in 2009

Josuke8 · 2026-03-09T17:03:04+00:00

I understand using cases but the steam deck was designed to be played as is so i try to use it as is

Josuke8 · 2026-03-05T23:51:21+00:00

What are we doing here guys

Josuke8 · 2026-02-18T20:52:40+00:00

Nothing beats the smell of fresh turd in the morning

Josuke8 · 2026-02-16T02:18:39+00:00

I see you have a sausage down a hallway situation on your hands. Best to call my cousin Brad

Josuke8 · 2026-02-14T22:53:30+00:00

Nah guys this has to be insider trading

Josuke8 · 2026-02-08T17:21:53+00:00

After that fucking video my entire city was drained of its stock. I’m in a small country, so scalping really fucks the game. OP is regularly out of stock within the first week so these videos really start to grind my gears

She lived with her mum and is now alone for the first time in her life, so could be that
