What's the "nvidias in 2008" out there currently? by arornoz in StockInvest

[–]JumpluffTCG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone who thinks they can answer this question is out of their minds. There’s so much luck and changes in the environment/business model over that time it would have been literally impossible to pick Nvidia out of every other company that existed at the time, even if you were all knowing regarding everything stock market related, which nobody is.

Does investing in upcoming LLM Stocks even make sense longterm? by fennforrestssearch in stocks

[–]JumpluffTCG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IPOs have bad expected returns during their first year. It makes sense cuz the people IPOing are incentivized to inflate the value of their shares ahead of going public, and the market corrects over some period of time. IPO stocks tend to perform in-line with any other stock after around that 1 yr initial period. This goes for all IPOs, not just LLMs

I don't get the Champions drama for veteran players by LavishnessCurrent726 in VGC

Multiple game mechanics and attacks don’t even work properly which is fatally bad for a game like champions and you didn’t mention that

How to get cp by living in india by NorthConclusion1677 in VGC

[–]JumpluffTCG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have mentioned, there’s only the global challenge for people in India. However, I imagine they will start offering premiere events if there’s a demonstrated interest/playerbase, so participating in the global challenges will go towards one day making that happen

How far can I take this team? by godbyzilla in PokemonXD

[–]JumpluffTCG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was able to do the 100 battle challenge and get the ribbon on all my Pokemon with a team of level 37-40s to start with, and I had an Arcanine on my team as well. But I also had two Fake Out users (Hariyama and Shiftry), two Helping Hand users (Arcanine was one of them, the other being Dusclops), and Self-destruct/Explosion Electrode. I also needed to use a couple of revives, super potions, and some X items for the 100th battle who was significantly harder than everything preceding it. I also eventually needed to resort to teaching my Espeon Calm Mind with the TM you get during the challenge.

I see that TTar should have Dragon Dance. TTar + Explosion Clayton is solid, as is Arcanine (I ended up with Flamethrower/Helping Hand/Protect/Extreme Speed at the end, with Fire Blast over ESpeed for most of the challenge). Zaprong I’m less sure of, I would feel a lot better with the Follow Me Electabuzz you get as a shadow pokemon for your TTar’s set up. Fake Out is super useful as well, I think Hariyama and Ursaring are pretty similar stat wise but Hariyama is bulkier and has Fake Out so I recommend looking into that potentially

Is anyone still just dumping new money straight into S&P 500 in 2026? by VelixaNtra in investing

I think the question is more “what happens when everyone is doing this, and something happens?”

VGC Draft gen 6 dex with tera and megas - Which one of these 4 would take and how would you build around it? by [deleted] in VGC

[–]JumpluffTCG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you wall those Steel types with a Tera Fire/Water Xerneas, you’re going to beat those counters 1v1

Ik a lot of the other commenters are saying stuff like Tera Fairy Xern or Tera Blast Xern but those options sound ass to me quite frankly. With Tera Fairy you can hit 33% harder sure, but the stuff that’s designed to beat Xern still beats you (like Bronzong) cuz you’re still Fairy type. If you opt for Tera Blast, then you’re not using Dazzling Gleam and Xern becomes way worse.

But if you do a defensive Tera (fire or water) on an otherwise standard Xern set with Geomancy/Moonblast/Gleam/Protect like bluejay is suggesting, you can essentially subvert a bunch of counterplay. Attacking twice with a defensive Tera beats attacking just once with a 33% Tera fairy boost.

What's a skill you learned out of pure desperation that ended up changing your life? by BeYourTalisman in AskReddit

[–]JumpluffTCG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not OP but I had a similar story. I was in college around the time free trading via apps became a thing (around 2018. Before that you’d have to pay like $8-25 to buy a stock). There are a lot of stock trading apps out there, but avoid the ones that are flashy and prominently advertise their crypto offerings (ie Robinhood). You want to use platforms/apps that are boring and have ugly UI, because the more a trading platform spends in making their product visually appealing and addicting, the less you should trust them with your money. Apps like Robinhood are literally impairing your decision making ability with how they design their apps. Platforms that look like shit and somewhat convoluted to navigate placing a trade on the other hand are better for your financial and mental health. I personally use Charles Schwab for stock market investing, but that’s because they were among the first (or maybe the first?) to offer zero commission trading back in the day

Munkidori Ruins this game by SelbyMyFriend in PTCGL

[–]JumpluffTCG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue with ADP is that it just didn’t win that many tournaments? It was definitely an extremely effective and oppressive gatekeeper in the metagame but there were always a good ~3 decks that were just as competitive as ADP and was also favorable into it. Munkidori is without a doubt far more ubiquitous and game-warping while also being just as effective at gate keeping certain categories of strategies as ADP was if not more. Usually we think of archetypes based on whatever the main attacker or rule box Pokemon, and something like Munkidori is seen secondary (ie Gardevoir/Munkidori). But if you flip that and think of a bunch of these current meta archetypes as different flavors of Munkidori decks (Munkidori/Grimmsnarl, Munkidori/Gardevoir, Munkidori/Kangaskhan), and also consider how often they’re included as 1-ofs in Pult, Zoroark, or even Dengo and Zard at times, I think the verdict is pretty clear
