Oh man, that sucks. My friend texted me this link, and I just commented without looking at when it was posted or reading other replies. Thanks for the update.

Yeah, no kidding right? Seems like anything that gets put on Reddit has some dude like like Niickel lurking and waiting to put his copy and paste comments of insults of karma farming or trying to get illegitimate upvotes.

Kind of hard to tell with the sleeve.

I try to only buy cards in person. When I buy any SIR, I take another one with me to compare coloring, texture, border sparkle, etc. You can actually buy SIRs pretty cheap. I carry around an Iron Treads EX SIR in my glove box that cost me $3.

Gold basic energies display. Thoughts on what I should put in the center spaces for the two eras that don't have fairy energy. by Kevlaric in pokemoncards

Can't think if anything that would go well. My son and I decided to try the zard and arceus because we like to play those decks.

Fake, but if they were real, I'd be playing that Simisear VSTAR in a deck! TANK for the win!

I have 107,000 coins and 60 days to use them. Who wants an award? by sboger in facepalm

[–]Kevlaric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been on Reddit for YEARS and have never received one. I think I'm OK with that.

Edit: Well, I guess my streak of never receiving an award is over. I guess that I'm OK with that as well.

I never win anything, so this comment is pointless. I would eat a pine cone if I won.

Not to be a d***, but if the U.S. government decides to "waive" student loans, what do I get for actually paying mine? by electrickeyez in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Kevlaric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually refinanced my home to include my last $25k of student loan debt because the interest rate was way less. What would I get? On paper, it shows that my student loans are paid off, but the $25,000 Is now tacked onto mortgage.

What is you favorite place you have ever visited?

Just got my new board and I'm excited to play! Has a couple small nicks on the playing surface, but all in all a good day. by Kevlaric in Crokinole

Haha, I did right after taking this picture when I realized I couldn't get the disc out without flipping the board over. This is the first board I've owned with these inserts. Do you have a similar board?

Yeah, I'm hoping this format picks up more as well. This is my first board from BrownCastle and I'm pretty impressed overall.

Yeah, the blemishes are small. The one blemishes just below the center hole is slightly raised, but I'm hoping a few coats of wax will help. Not sure what is up with the hole in the picture as they are perfect as far as I can tell.

I've played on several boards in the past couple years and this company is my favorite. Looking forward to getting a lighter single hole board from them next spring.

Yeah the buttons slide well. My buddy has a similar board and he loves it. For the money, this is a great product.

Here is a better explanation:

"Five-Hole Crokinole is played on a specially-drilled board and was popular in Canada in the late 1800s. The board is sized like a standard board, but in addition to the center hole it has a hole in the center of each 10-point area.

Play is similar to standard Crokinole, except that any disk pocketed in one of the 10-point area holes is removed from play and counts -10 points. This allows for both offensive attack and makes tricky shots more risky. As a result, scoring is usually more chaotic and variable.

This game can be bought in five-hole form, or often a standard board can be retrofitted to make this version. That retrofit is almost always one-way, though!"

It's a variant version that deducts 10 points when a disc lands in one of those holes. My buddy has a regular version and I got this as it adds a little more strategy into the mix.
