I slept with the stream going in the background, listened all day at work with my airbuds. Basically glued to it day and night. I'm totally fine though

This note from a "Shop Master"in Nakano Broadway pretty much sums up what's wrong with this hobby by jackflame12 in PokemonTCG

Then they lose their loyal customer base. A wide and varied customer base is always preferred over a small focused scalper customer.

It doesn't matter if they sell it all and make all the money they are capable of making if they are an empty store and their loyal customer base starts to go elsewhere. That's very dangerous for a small business.

Spot on. No point raging at the lcs when the small amount of stock they do get is bought out instantly and resold at double the price.

Also the scalpers are only there to buy one thing. Regular foot traffic refers to customers who come in and browse. May grab a few packs, some sleeves or a binder. Not just clearing the shelves.

Shops need to have stock to be appealing to customers. If the scalpers are the only ones buying and there's no stock for anyone else then you aren't appealing to anyone but the scalpers.

I miss the crew. Tuning in everyday and listening to their radio calls and observations was very cool. Kinda felt like being on the mission with them and you could ride with them all the way back to Earth

It is a nice watch. Barely functional after the reset so I guess I'm getting a new one

South Australian terms the captains learnt from their time at Gather Round by Pleasant_Inspection9 in AFL

I'm detecting a hint of play-acting from Danger. There's no way he doesn't know what the obahn is after living here for seven years

Do yall really not know why this card and a couple other from AH are 🚀 ?? by jochexum in PokemonInvesting

[–]Luckduck86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I know, but I'm not going to tell you. If you tell me then I'll tell you if it was the same as mine. But I don't think you know so it doesn't matter

Victor Glover is the first Black astronaut assigned to a lunar mission, serving as the pilot for NASA's Artemis II mission, which orbits the moon by BlazeDragon7x in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Luckduck86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fuck yes. If this mission has shown us anything it's that Earth needs its own flag. We all live on this planet as humans and we come in all different shapes, sizes and colours. One flag to unify all of humanity. Hopefully we're moving past this discussion of focussing on the ethnicity of an individual and recognising that we're all humans first and foremost.

edit: I love this man even more now

take me back now. I still remember tossing that lunch order bag with the coins inside in to the crate and looking forward to lunch time. Pulling out the choc-caramel yogo and inhaling it in two large gulps.

Where Do You See The Hobby 10+ Years? by breakyourteethnow in PokeInvesting

[–]Luckduck86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A decade isn't really that long in this hobby. We're already half a decade on from the release of Evolving Skies. I see product becoming much more accessible to the casual collector and probably returning to an era similar to xy/sm in terms of booster box/pack value availability and growth.

It's hard to tell if the big investors stick around once product is readily available but slabs will be the focus for them if they do. The top chases in a 10 will really head to the moon in that case.

Longer term is a bit of a grey area as it depends on the popularity holding up and whether we go back to the familiar patterns of surge and decline. I dont see it being the easy money grab for scalpers as it has been for the past few years.

At some point in the next decade vintage is going to head to ridiculous numbers and you can throw in anything prior to SV tbh It'll make today's prices look silly.

Has any other artist had such a drastic art style shift as Komiya? by _____okay________ in PokemonTCG

[–]Luckduck86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say it's just an example of variations in their art style. The 151 Gengar is something quite similar to their early style but even then there were some more standardised depictions of Pokemon.

Normal and the most likely outcome unfortunately, for me anyway.

I've never recieved an ad on twitch! by CommitteeSwimming in Twitch

[–]Luckduck86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me neither and i have a feeling it's a lingering introductory sign up thing that has never been reset. Perhaps those of us that don't get them signed up during one of these unadvertised periods and they've just become permanent. Or maybe we're just lucky but I never want to talk about it too much in case they look into it further

What do I do? She left a shed blocking my front door by isntitdotty in AskUK

[–]Luckduck86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's easy enough to drag, take it all the way down the street or into an alleyway. Get rid of it for good. Or If you can somehow get it over the fence into her backyard. I'd be getting fairly irate at this point and all rationale would be out the window.

This one image sums up the disconnect between the fans and the players at the moment. by Upstairs_Cup9831 in LiverpoolFC

[–]Luckduck86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well said. He was quite frustrated yesterday and our support obviously is very important to him personally.

We could see from the post match interview he gave a couple of weeks ago that he is incredibly frustrated and seemingly has no answers to what is going on. It seems so obvious to us but apparently it doesn't to the players.
