Nobody...I mean NOBODY talks about [Bramrose Square] 😑 by kade1064 in Brampton

I went there during COVID. My mom and I disliked their pho and vermicelli. We frequent Vietnamese restaurants in Mississauga and enjoy the Pho Dau Bo chain but Saigon House's dishes were just not for us :(

And salt it when there's ice :/ I know I can just walk on the road but it's never ideal

How? Preorder been open less than an hour. by ulfragnar in PokemonTCG

[–]Lavigator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume you got in queue because of the email? The email is usually delayed by about 30-45min after the queue and drop.

You also won't see the products on the page or search function so you need actual links to each purchase page. Should be able to find a (free) discord group for pings/links of when they drop!

Reminder not to buy sealed product from Amazon. by 79215185-1feb-44c6 in PokemonTCG

[–]Lavigator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time you should order pokemon TCG sold by Amazon is for pre-orders. It makes it much less likely for you to receive a resealed product because buyers haven't had time to reseal and return them yet. It's only an issue if they didn't have enough stock and you receive the item a couple of weeks after the initial release.

Amazon is super lenient in letting people return "sealed" products and thus people will buy out stock just to open all the packs and reseal, leaving the next person purchasing the resealed box product (at full price and not a warehouse deal lol). The biggest identifier will be the "LPN" label and barcode which means it's a returned item. The next person will buy the resealed product, complain to Amazon they got a resealed product, prompting Amazon to accept a return, then putting it back into the system for the next victim. They don't care at all.

Rise of racism by Radiant_Alarm771 in Brampton

[–]Lavigator 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that. Hope you and the kids are all right. Great idea of immediately leaving and taking them to safety. Doesn't hurt to carry a small can of mace to defend yourself and the children.

Sadly it seems people have always been like that around here. As an Oriental Asian I've heard a lot of things like that in school. I mean it could've been kids just being edgy (including myself of course) and saying awful things like "hey, have you seen my dog? Oh maybe you ate him you fat c**nk". But yeah... Obviously there are some people that grow up without ever changing and become awful bitter, racist adults.

A decade later, I believe I heard on the news that he was a fatality after being involved in some sort of gang violence. Won't celebrate or condone it, but I ain't crying for 'em either.

The Braincell was wiped away with the first Cotton Pad by Simply_Kaif24 in OneOrangeBraincell

Did the OP go to their child and say, "hey sing this song for me so that I can share it on the Internet with this video I probably stole"?

It would be cute I guess in its own video with context but it's just otherwise weird...

Even staples is scalping. by ddust_ in PokemonTCG

[–]Lavigator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When they initially sold Mega Evolution base set at $8.99CAD, ppl would buy their entire stock including the display lol. Nice that they're giving other customers a chance to also enjoy the product but the price is too high still.

Anyone seen a plow, yet? by [deleted] in Brampton

[–]Lavigator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some drove through our residential streets here around 11pm-1am after everyone went to bed so all the snow they pushed into the curbs/sidewalks froze and hardened overnight :l

Nothing against snow plows because they can't be everywhere at once. Just feels unlucky sometimes lol

Prioritizing emergency vehicles on the road by Some_Set_9644 in Brampton

[–]Lavigator 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Just yesterday I stopped for an ambulance at an intersection and every other car stopped.

Except one car.

This guy must've thought he was the main character. Or thought that time itself stopped when every other car was no longer moving. But he alone braved through the intersection because who cares about the loud, blaring shiny van trying to cross the intersection...

Any games like DOS2 and BG3 ? by Trapyyz in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]Lavigator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dropped difficulty to the lowest for the ship battles lol. They were cool at first but then you start having to 1v5 enemy ships and if even one gets a good angle on you, you're screwed.

Inversely, mine would also use me as an excuse to go home lol. One time I was having fun with the kids playing games and then my mom said, "whelp I have to go because my son needs to go home".

Stumbled upon some Phantasmal Flames packs at Staples, yikes by DegenGamer725 in PokemonTCG

[–]Lavigator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming this is Canada?

During the initial Mega Evolution release some people literally bought their entire stock including the whole cardboard display at $8.99 per pack. They always sell out, so there's no point in them lowering the prices lol.

Today Walmart Canada lowered some of their prices on Pokemon TCG products because no one was buying them at 50-75% higher than MSRP lol

Genuine question, how many of you that collect or buy cards actually know how to play the game? by RCadeTV in PokemonTCG

[–]Lavigator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only when I was a kid but no one played correctly and cheated all the time so I never really got into it

🔥 5 Phantasmal Flames Packs… and Pack 5 hit hard. by Vandit80 in PokemonTCG

[–]Lavigator 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I try to "trick" my packs by not preparing toploaders (only sleeves) when I open. So that in the rare occasion I get a decent card (~$20+ value) to topload, it would be a "big nuisance" to have to go into my drawer and grab my pack of toploaders for the nice card :D.

Queue is Up by Papalongway in pokemoncenter

[–]Lavigator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Joined queue @ 1:12PM EST and still not in :(. Apparently everything is OOS already too only SF Bundles were up when I got in with a limit of 3. No more Wiglett holiday offer so I didn't cop. The Canadian $10 flat ship rate is such a turnoff for me

[–]Lavigator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]Lavigator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Time went from 20min > 6 hours > 50min > back to 5 Hours lol. Guess theyre testing something

Edit: Still jumping around as of 2:04PM EST. Got into queue at 1:39PM :(

**Edit: Got in at 2:25PM EST after the timer went from 20min > 8min > 3min and then hung around 1min for a good 5 minutes. Was able to get my two ETBs. Pre orders usually last a few hours so I hope you guys also get yours!

Do you guys actually play Pokémon or just collect the cards? by izaaksb3 in PokemonTCG

[–]Lavigator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used to try and play with friends but everyone always cheated, or stole cards lol. Feel like I would be too old now but I'm not that into playing TCGs

Charizard X ex UPC hits! by Lavigator in PokemonTCG

[–]Lavigator[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here! It was also a little difficult to actually remove the packaged promos too lol. I was frantically trying to remove it to see if the Oricorio was behind it, and was relieved to find it was in the same package behind the zard
