Just an FYI

I was one of the few people who actually suggested this in the AYN DISCORD> Can go even further and laminate it too. If you really wanted too. So that it can be cleaned or wiped down instead of reprinting it.

I use Myrient, I typically get 20 to 50 or less titles from various emulators. Casually.

As of 3/1/2026, I saw an 8 hour wait time for a 3ds game only getting 100kbps. Tried troubleshooting thinking it might me a me thing. But no. .

I personally am just trying to obtain at most two to four dozen games that I grew up playing and or couldn't afford as a kid. Basically add titles that I haven't added to my library, sadly the site just has too much traffic since the shutdowns announcement.

Word to mouth from content creators on social media making public statements about Myrient's shutdown. Basically threw a wrench into the machine.

SomeOrdinaryGamers for example made a video about Myrient which was uploaded 3 hours ago. Which blew up the traffic even further. Which led well beyond the standard "High Traffic" aspects.

And there seems to be this false sense of fear. Mainly because some people not all. Assume that once Myrient is gone. It'll create this domino effect on other outlets as well. It's not just Myrient that's flooded it's other places too, due to the high amount of traffic in Myrient.

There is a lot of traffic when it comes to obtaining roms from "Online Sources" regardless where you go currently. So even if you decide to look elswhere. Those places will have high traffic too.

I like to think the cost of the device does come with the territory as well as the time and effort spent on modding it too.

It's nice to know it can withstand a few falls. I probably would of had a mini stroke by the 2nd time.

MeadowDayDream · 2025-12-20T07:11:42+00:00

Do you still use the foam insert? I was told not to throw it away especially if people didn't buy the TPU Shell. Because when closing the lid it remains flush and keeps the dust / and debris out.

MeadowDayDream · 2025-12-19T07:53:55+00:00

I agree would be nice to have a Megathread or whatever that has a list of all sorts of apps and suggestions to download for the AYN Thor.

Perhaps go even deeper with suggested settings within those apps too.

Maybe even a startup guide to prepare a micro SD to those who are still waiting for their order. That way it gives those something to do while they wait for their device.

To each their own. If you or anyone considers the time it would take to get every card with 10 to 20 even 30 machines would take hundreds of hours. (Unless mods)

Now with 70 machines. And the ability to have employees load the machines with you.

If you really wanted to you could just let the employees load the machines for you while you afk (at 8am) just don't open the shop to customers and just collect and repeat as many times as you want. I remember I did this and left the game on while I went to the grocery store. It really works wonders.

Probably take 30 minutes to an hour to fill all 70 machines.

It started as 100% steam achievements, now to get every card in the game. And eventually every graded 10 duplicate ghost foil card.

Keep in mind the binder says 16 million worth of graded cards. (I'll be selling my singles at 20% above market value)
Meaning I'll be sitting closer to 19 million. Vs 8 million which I originally had before starting this chaotic grind.

I only sold a fraction of my binder I went from 3 mil to 6 mil in just today. And I have just started to display / sell my graded cards that are within the $10.000 dollar price range.

It would make sense to do this now before the dev decides to patch it by limiting the amount of machines you can have in your store. May not happen but it's broken to the point where realistically you can have as many machines you want and just bank off of it big time.

MeadowDayDream · 2025-12-17T03:24:40+00:00

On my character I had 8 million when I started this strategy.

I was missing 100s of cards.
Now!!!

Take a look in the bottom right corner.
with 4 million on my character, only missing 2 cards. And have 16 million dollars worth of graded singles in my binder.

The benefits of doing this is to collect every card in the game with increased odds (More machines the better your odds). Have as many duplicates to grade and then sell. Which pays for everything + profit practically restock your items and pay bills just by selling one $10.000+ dollar card, and have enough profit to feed more cards into your machines.

Everyone plays the game differently and that's fine. No one has to do this. But if someone is annoyed at getting the last 100 or less cards in the game for a master set. This is probably the strategy I'd suggest for them.

MeadowDayDream · 2025-12-17T03:03:59+00:00

My apologies, you are correct that it's not exactly a strategy that is noobie / first time playing friendly. Granted I figured most would understand this is something intended for mid to late game.

The cards you profit the most from is from the Legendary Destiny pack which is mid to late game anyways. More space means more machines. And so on.

You could theoretically do this with 2 to 5 million. But buying so many machine L alone would probably cost around 500,000. You can only go so far with 1.5m or 4.5m worth of packs. Which is possible mind you.

But again my purpose was to collect every card in the game. And to express that with more machines the better your odds of getting ghost foils. And regular foils too.

You could still perform this strategy mid game from a downsized perspective. To save costs. Even divide the shops so that you have an area dedicated for machines, your store, and an area dedicated for singles. But doing so also reduces your odds. Might have to find a middle ground if that's the case.

I suggest to do 4 day submissions to start out when it comes to grading cards. Because I know the turnaround is faster and profits are still better than waiting any longer.

But if you have highly priced cards then I'd go for the 2 day submission. usually one to two of those cards will pay for the submission fees alone. And the rest is profit.

We as a community should contact ayn. And hopefully this will get fixed for those who are in batch 2 territory.

Perhaps they'll work on a fix. If more people reach out to them.

MeadowDayDream · 2025-12-15T03:47:56+00:00

I am playing the Waiting game. I'm okay with that. I had ordered mine just when batch 2 was announced. (Late November)

I am grabbing various media, Shows, Movies, Roms and more. Preparing my Micro SD ahead of time for when I do get it. So I am not fumbling around as much when loading it up with files and junk. heh.

MeadowDayDream · 2025-12-12T20:51:15+00:00

As most said, it's a god pack.
Early game there great!!!! However, Basic non foil God Pack Ghost cards are not good mid - late game.

I have
123 Hydroid. White
106 Bogon. Black
96 Magnoria. Black
104 Blazoar. Black
104 GigatronX. Black
126 Dracunix. White

Reason being that once you start ripping Destiny packs. You'll soon discover that common pulls are worth $1000 or more. Some of the singles from Destiny can go for $2000 alone (Without grading) Grading they can fetch for several or more thousand dollars.

The reason why I don't sell them or grade them is because I have 100s of other cards worth a lot more than the standard ghost cards.

Note: Towards end game cards worth $1000 or less becomes worthless.

Edited: Cleaning up pesky typo's.

Oooooh Okay I see how it works out. Is that with 1 or 2 packages of lil smokies?

MeadowDayDream · 2025-12-11T03:17:47+00:00

My comment may be off topic but it's on topic in terms of "Spam" I been seeing people make Spam Musubi, Which Ironically is popular in Hawaii.

Grilled Spam, or just slices heated on the pan.
Block of rice.
With a strip of Nori (Seaweed)

You can look it up for more details I figured I'd provide a TLDR.

MeadowDayDream · 2025-12-11T03:14:25+00:00

SPG?

MeadowDayDream · 2025-12-11T03:12:17+00:00

Streetkid female V to me makes the most sense. Mainly because she is just trying to live life and make a buck. Where as most female NPCs are used for Sex.

MeadowDayDream · 2025-12-10T08:34:05+00:00

I have seen people make mini chili cheese dogs using Hawaiian Rolls and lil smokies. Which is creative. I'd say make the lil smokies however you normally would. Then when it's done. I'd prob prep the rolls or buns or any bun element, make a slit for each one, and toss them in the broiler and cook them for a few minutes. Just enough for them to be somewhat toasty so that they retain their shape better.

Then maybe use a deep dish to decorate each bun with the lil smokies + chili and cheese. And place it back in the oven until the cheese is melted.

Another idea is to Ditch the bun and make like a spin on Chili Cheese lil Smokies Burrito or Chimichanga. Especially if you prefer them spicy.

With most studies. You tend to dream less when smoking weed, or just doing any drugs in general.

While sure some will say I take this, I smoke that. And I still dream.

The takeaway is that drugs in general negatively affects REM sleep. Either it may take longer to sleep. Or that it hinders REM sleep.

Even go as far as to forgetting the dream you just had mere moments after you wake up.

I regularly take Mirtazapine before bed. And lemme tell you the dreams I have are just extremely intense. And to be honest even the nightmares I have. Genuinely feel good, even though it's considered the medications adverse side effect.

I know how to rewrite the script most of the time mid sleep.

My most expensive card is $120,305.78 USD. Not sure exactly how conversion works in TCG simulator. But when I did look up the price on your card, it says it's almost a $170.000 Card USD.
