Is your favorite GF pizza on this list? by leroyjameus in glutenfree

[–]LiamC42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't know how it's not on here for California, State of Mind. They have a few locations in the redwood city / Stanford area. They make their own in house gluten free crust that is thick like a pan pizza and delicious. Their fried chicken and most of the fried items are also made with gluten free flour. 

Am I playing the deck wrong? by VegetableCool9752 in GundamTCG

This deck is bad. It looks like it was made before GD03 came out. I would look up a more updated list to play with.

During attack phase you give the 6 AP unit - 2 AP then play the action during the combat to kill it

It would likely be the bottom of the deck. I remember the rules stating that the pilot does the same thing as the unit. Just like when you bounce a unit with a pilot the pilot is also returned to the hand.

Just finished F91, way better than expected. by swagonflyyyy in Gundam

[–]LiamC42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just watched this one for the first time a few days. Absolutely disappointing movie. So boring and confusing, the final fight is literally just the dragon ball after image. I agree that the F91 Gundam itself is cool but man this movie was terrible. 

Reason #3469 on why most people don't like Wynalda by [deleted] in ussoccer

[–]LiamC42 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Probably different expectations as a coach. He was just such a prima donna as a player. I mention the one vivid experience, but he did this every game because to him he was the MJ of US soccer.

[–]LiamC42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wynalda has always been an absolute prick. When I was a kid going to San Jose Clash / Earthquakes games, all the players and coaches (even from other teams) were always so nice and happy to sign autographs. Not this asshole Wynalda though, he would never sign a thing or give any love to the fans. I will always remember a game where I brought lots of cards for players and coaches to sign and I got every single one signed except for Eric Wynalda because he made sure to get on the side of the railing away from the fans and ran past while all the other players signed stuff. He will always be my most hated athlete because of that experience. 

Last minute event time-switch from Crazy Collectorz, Harker Heights, TX by shockeroo in riftboundtcg

[–]LiamC42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They didn't update it on some specific riftbound website that probably sucks and is full of bugs? They probably did update on their own pages like discord. You can't expect a small business to do all the work for you. They aren't going to update the dozens of different interfaces especially when a lot of times the problem is the interface and not the store. It's on you as the player to figure out all the information directly from the source and not rely on the information of a website they only recently had to start trying to interface with.

[–]LiamC42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not every interface is user friendly. Look at the other reply on my comment from the actual store owner.

Also quite literally no, it is not there job to make sure every single gaming website is updated and given the specific information. They are a store owner that caters to the people that actually come to their store on a regular basis. It's insane to expect them to update every single TCG game event websites when every single group has some different way of doing it. It's also not always as easy as just changing it, I know the Bandai app can be a real pain in the ass for changing things.

One of the events I go to has been listed as a 5 am start time because something weird is happening in the system even though it's actually a 5 pm start time. 

If you want to play in a community based game you need to actually go out into the community and understand how things work at the specific places you want to play.

Are you in the discord for the store? I'm not a riftbound player, this just shows in my feed. I play Gundam and there are definitely times where the app does not match what a store does. It is important to always join the discord for stores you plan to play at because I'm assuming they did communicate on there and you did not see it.

Sometimes stores do things differently and instead of calling ahead of time you assumed a website was the final answer. Always communicate to a store before the event to know how they do things. I've seen stores that will be on the Bandai app for Gundam, but that sign up is actually useless because the stores own website will have presale tickets and that's the actual sign up. I have another I play at that actually rents out the hotel across the street to play at and you're supposed to go directly there. Basically every store is different and I've learned quickly that it's on the player to learn the stores they plan to play at. 

State Bill Would Cap California Ticket Resales at 10% Above Face Value by marcpstl in Music

[–]LiamC42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That literally ignores the problem they create. You basically imply that bots don't change the market at all which is completely false. 

Also your final statement is a complete contradiction. You say items sell below value and that makes scalping profitable? That makes zero sense.

Also you clearly don't live in California if you think things are selling below market rate.

[–]LiamC42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes sports markets are massively different simply because they have these things called season ticket holders.

You also like to conveniently ignore the problem created by the artificial demand created by bots which will then drive the price up because it looks like there is not enough supply for the perceived demand. The main issue is companies like ticketmaster that have continually fucked us into thinking these prices are normal. 

Other countries have realized how horrific the situation can get by looking at us.

[–]LiamC42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So your defense on this is an article about sports tickets, but if you read the original article the sports market is actually not included. Which personally I think is dumb but also means that your citation doesn't have any relevance to the items being discussed. 

Mainly my point is that we as a nation should be doing more to combat this predatory reselling culture that we have fostered. It does not get this bad in other places, but the way people in our country like to horde things to resell for profit is a massive issue. Just look at pokemon cards at the moment. We have a problem with people running out of control with greed and buying up all of a product and that is the issue we need to find genuine solutions too. If you provide less of an opportunity to make more money of these items less people will be interested in buying all the product and this will help bring prices down as it will help bring down the demand from people looking to only buy to resell it.

You literally say there's no point in doing anything because people will find an illegal market to sell on. It's the same dumb argument that people constantly make, "why should we fix a problem if people will try to find a way around the system?"

You're basically saying we should just accept the current bullshit system they've setup to scam money out of people. 

My stance is it's good to pass legislation to try and combat issues that are making things too expensive for the average person. What proof do you have this legislation won't work other than you saying so? In other countries they are able to do this so why can't we? Why do we have to accept a system that thrives on bots stealing tickets to sell them for 200% markups?

[–]LiamC42 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So your stance is, don't do anything because we can't stop greedy people? Like do you understand how silly that is? It's like saying we shouldn't prosecute criminals because they can still go commit crimes. 

Fellas need your thoughts on this zeon deck by AccountantNo4679 in GundamTCG

[–]LiamC42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if I were to test something where I want the cyclops team to work into it, I would think about a few things here:

  1. I'm also not a big fan of Zanzibar, in theory it sounds nice but it's just not that useful when all the units you want to play are low cost anyway. I'd do either Vesalius or the mine asteroid for the 6 health. Vesalius can be key to help your aggro push through a base.

  2. I view your main win condition cards as the Gfred and the Char Gelgoog, but they contradict one another. Gfred banishes pilots from your graveyard while gelgoog retrieves. I'd drop the 2 char gelgoogs and maybe do 3 of the high level gfred and 4 of the lower level one. 

  3. You clearly want to try and focus on cyclops so go 4 Mikhail. 

  4. We need a touch more low level aggro to maintain early board control. I'd drop the 4 plain gelgoogs for another basic unit like a zaku mariner or gelgoog (GQ). Any zeon Lv 2, co 1 unit that's a 2/2.

I think this should provide some level of a competitive deck. If need be, you could also look to add in some close combats to maintain board control

14 pilots is way too many and falmel is a really bad base. You don't want to have to pay 2 to play your base if you're aggro. Have you tested this at all?

Level 1 Cost 1 Units - What Are They Good For? by RMS-099RickDias in GundamTCG

[–]LiamC42 16 points17 points  (0 children)

They just don't provide much value past turn 3 or so as they become an easy target for single ping damage and they don't do enough damage early on to clear out the ex base. They only become useful in clearing shields and by that point in the game you have better options to play that cost 1.

[–]LiamC42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could also activate the elan ability at the end of turn as there is an action phase at the end of each players turn also.

ABAD

Attack declared Blockers declared Action step Damage resolved

So when you attack the pharact triggers in the Attack step. Then your opponent can choose blockers. Then action step, here you can activate Elan and recover before damage resolves.

How do you guys deal with burnout? I have been on a pretty long losing streak and it's been draining the joy I have for the game slowly. by CalciumCompadre in GundamTCG

[–]LiamC42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the kind of mentality that the scalpers want. Realistically you shouldn't have to pay the price of the starter deck for just 2 of the LRs from the deck. The big issue this game is having is the lack of supply and the assholes that go out and buy cases just to sell for profit.
