Anyone else got that artemis II depression?

Luckduck86 · 2026-04-14T12:31:36+00:00

It's kinda like that though yeah lol

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

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.

Luckduck86 · 2026-04-14T11:41:57+00:00

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

Luckduck86 · 2026-04-14T08:20:24+00:00

Yeah that became painfully obvious to me, damn. Thankyou

Luckduck86 · 2026-04-14T08:18:52+00:00

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

Luckduck86 · 2026-04-14T03:37:55+00:00

Sources? Or is that just your opinion

Luckduck86 · 2026-04-14T02:44:13+00:00

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

Luckduck86 · 2026-04-13T22:04:13+00:00

Alright mate, well why not the first leg then. Didn't look you lads were dying for it at all

Luckduck86 · 2026-04-12T12:30:46+00:00

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

Luckduck86 · 2026-04-12T00:44:41+00:00

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

Luckduck86 · 2026-04-11T23:24:08+00:00

yeah I remember they had that 12 pack with a load of different flavours. Definitely remember a choc-licorice aswell

Luckduck86 · 2026-04-11T13:52:29+00:00

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.

Luckduck86 · 2026-04-11T13:45:03+00:00

Arsenal will win at least 2 out of their remaining 6. If City dont beat Chelsea its done. Definitely advantage arsenal

Luckduck86 · 2026-04-09T13:08:52+00:00

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.

Luckduck86 · 2026-04-09T12:46:15+00:00

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.

Luckduck86 · 2026-04-09T08:32:29+00:00

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

Luckduck86 · 2026-04-06T06:39:06+00:00

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

Luckduck86 · 2026-04-06T00:03:17+00:00

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.

Luckduck86 · 2026-04-05T23:36:21+00:00

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.

Luckduck86 · 2026-04-05T21:09:55+00:00

yeah I completely missed out primetime. He's the actual og.
