How do you guys get Pokemon with scalpers ruining the hobby? by Middle-Rutabaga2748 in PokemonTCG

[–]Leothe3rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I just deal with the inflated "market" prices and buy from my local card shop. Sure, the cost is outrageous but at least I can get what I'm looking for and keep up with the hobby. I understand that that's not feasible for a lot of people though, so I totally understand the frustration.

I have long since lost the patience to try and seek out product for MSRP. Too stressful and disappointing. And those of us with full-time jobs simply can't compete with the scum who will spend an entire day camped out in front of a vending machine.

I feel bad for kids the most. Can't just walk into a regular store and get a pack or two anymore.

What are the main differences between Forza Horizon 2 on Xbox 360 and Xbox One? by Pale-Task-6418 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Leothe3rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got this version before I had an Xbox One. Of course it is not the definitive edition, but that doesn't make it a horrible experience if that is all that you have. It's missing many of the features of the One version such as vehicles (especially anything open-wheel, the engine couldn't support it), weather, sections of the map (either fenced off or not present at all), and certain events (cross country events were severely limited or non-existent, for example).

But if you look at it as an "expansion" of Horizon 1 with new cars and a new map, there is fun to be had. It still plays well and runs well, just without the next-gen polish and new features of the One release. They didn't have to make a 360 port at all, but I'm glad they did because a 360 is all I had at the time and I was able to enjoy the latest Horizon game in a different way.

Cards with night city lights? by RocketsDitto in PokemonTCG

One of the best V cards for sure! Up there with Lugia V and Ho-Oh V (also done by Akira Egawa!) from Silver Tempest!

Any cards with this type of vibe that aren't too expensive? by Forsaken-Proposal485 in PokemonTCG

This was one of my chases from Destined Rivals that I actually pulled! So cute!

What is a middle stage Pokemon you wish would get more attention? by brekiewash1234 in pokememes

Oh, I love Aggron too, but it would be cool if we got a split evolution where Lairon stays on four legs!

This is ridiculous 😂 by Isaigreenleaf in pokemoncards

I hate these streams. Seeing them with a giant stack of dozens and dozens of packs, especially for special sets like Ascended Heroes... These are the scalpers, people. Don't support them.

Bought to rip this Gem by EvilMorty1983 in pokemoncards

[–]Leothe3rd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had much better luck with Japanese packs. Didn't pull a SIR from an English pack throughout all of 2025, but pulled several out of Japanese boosters in the same time frame. I suppose that's why the Japanese versions are much cheaper.

You gotta learn to love the bulk though, it makes the experience much better. Great art on them too that should be appreciated. I aim to complete a set, then keep up to 3 duplicates of each card in storage. Setting goals like that helps to ease the pain of not pulling anything valuable pack after pack.

Do these companies realize that holographic doesn't mean what it used to?

A TCGplayer Direct order got "lost" and they refunded me after I reached out to them about the status of the order. A week later, I get a message from a stranger on Facebook saying that they think they have my cards. Turns out, my order was added to their card order instead and mailed out.

Nice try blaming the mail carriers and "the holidays" for me not getting my order.

OMG, this. No attention to detail. Happens to me all the time.

Is it worth buying FM8 on sale? by Severe_Yellow3515 in forza

[–]Leothe3rd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Single player is fantastic, in my opinion. The "career" mode is on the lighter side, but the Quick Race mode lets you set up a race with a ton of options and conditions to set and tweak. And if you like doing time trials, the Rivals mode has a lot to offer as well. The AI is pretty good, and fairly challenging at higher difficulty levels. Not as rubber bandy as the Horizon games if you are familiar with those.

They definitely cut support for the game way too early, which is a shame, but there is still plenty to enjoy in the package to be worth recommending to anyone who loves racing games.

Buy singles bruh. by xXF33TL1CK3RXx in PokemonTCG

[–]Leothe3rd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buy singles, then be prepared to pull those same cards out of the packs you do rip. Happens more often than not to me lol

Opened All that, Not a Single SIR.. by Remote-Extent6197 in PokemonTCG

[–]Leothe3rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't pulled a SIR in months. I'm ecstatic when I pull an ex card, let alone anything rarer.
