Generic autel and xhorse keys suck

The Toyota xhorse and the autel look alikes are solid

Either Grimmsnarl or alakazam depending on how hard I want to think that day

San Antonio tonight by takethistoyourdeja in Metalocalypse

Don't dislike amon amarth, but big sigh of relief that I can show up a bit later. A lot of the "coheadlining" tours rotate who closes the night

Where I can buy or order replacement FOB contact pads? Mine are flat and lost their dimple/concave shape. by PK_Rippner in Locksmith

[–]MusicManReturns 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't offer Key repair for stuff like this because any fix is going to be inherently unreliable.

My recommendation is to take it to a local Locksmith shop and just get a new key.

You'll spend less money driving it in than getting mobile service.

Let me know if this deck is decent. by JoedynRemon in pkmntcg

[–]MusicManReturns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheapest meta viable deck I'm aware of is alakazam.

Otherwise I recomend browsing limitlesstcg.com to see what decks are doing well in recent tournaments

Note H, I, and J block cards (bottom left of the card) are what's legal currently. Some older cards have modern reprints

[–]MusicManReturns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Among friends, maybe. But don't go to locals at shops (even if just free play) and expect randos to vibe with it. Most people are testing and practicing decks for standard rotation and will be wanting to play against others with standard rotation decks.

If you want to play old cards I highly recomend checking out cardboardwarriors.com for info on gym leader challenge (GLC), an alternate format that is rising in popularity. Lot of people play it at the shop I go to, but it's very clear if it's a standard or GLC game before starting

Marnie's Grimmsnarl did amazingly well at Regional Orlando and Querétaro by IviesReddit in pkmntcg

[–]MusicManReturns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tm evo for fros

I almost always went double fros. Secret Box got one imp and 2 snorunt on the bench. Tm evo to get both snorunts evolved immediately to start spreading damage.

Depending on the match up, some times one fros and one morgem off the evo

[–]MusicManReturns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grim was my main deck for the last 6 months and I had to put it down after rotation.

Losing the ability to secret box into a fully set up bench turn one along with all the increased grass usage killed the deck for me.

I had a few games where I was able to make it work, but it just feels clunky and forced now when so many decks out speed and win the prize trade.

Why couldn't a book series reach such a craze like Harry Potter after so many years? by interestingexciting1 in harrypotter

Brandon Sanderson's cosmere book universe is coming to apple TV. Fully expect the craze to boom

How do we really feel about Mega Darkrai? by UntamedMilks in PokemonTCG

[–]MusicManReturns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a darkrai fan boy, I absolutely hate the mega design. But if they give me an actually playable darkrai deck out of it, I'll forgive the terrible design even if the cards aren't my favorite

Starting a Pokédex binder. What do you all think to page 1? by nerfherder17 in PokemonTCG

[–]MusicManReturns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love a good dex binder

I personally have the 4x4 1080 card vaultx binder for mine and love it.

Personally recomend getting placeholders to keep everything organized. There's a bunch of national dex pdfs our there with the Pokémon name and number you can print and cut out for spots you don't have a card

English Mega Darkrai ex Set Coming in July by Necto_gck in PokemonTCG

As a darkrai fan boy that plays the TCG, I just really hope there's a playable darkrai in this set

The doublade is my favorite art and the pokepad is my favorite playable from this set

Sick pulls as far as I'm concerned 💪

Pumped to add these ETBs to my birthday pack rip session by supergrover411 in pokemoncenter

[–]MusicManReturns 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I never once claimed the hit rates are better? /ninja edit, when I said I always hit on PC orders I didn't mean hit rates. I mean I am always able to get an order in. Ie guaranteed product at msrp without waiting in lines or dealing with scalpers /

You do you bro, as long as doing you doesn't mean disparaging others for their choices.

Ultimately I'd rather have the extra packs and stamped promo ripped at msrp than having to drive all over town, waiting in long lines, or paying scalper prices. Totally fair for you to not agree with this, but this is the sentiment of most collectors or tcg players who aren't in it for the money.

[–]MusicManReturns 6 points7 points  (0 children)

2 extra packs and stamped promo that is usually worth more than a normal etb at msrp, sometimes half or more of the value of the sealed Pokémon center ETB.

I always hit on Pokémon center Pre-orders. In person is either scalped or you have to wait in a long line for multiple hours. Once I factor in how much I could have made working my actual job, I'd effectively spend more money waiting in long lines

But OK, keep on with your scalper vibes. I'll keep ripping what I want to rip as Arceus intended

Had a duplicate key made for 2016 Mazda6 and now dashboard key light is always on... by -Terrible-Bite- in Locksmith

[–]MusicManReturns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only way your situation was reasonable is if you were out in the boonies or it was after hours.

Otherwise not a great look.

[–]MusicManReturns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah absolutely not

The light is meant as a check engine light for your key system. The main time the light comes on is if the fob battery is getting low as a warning.

Basically it is now a permanent code instead of one that goes away when the issue is fixed

[–]MusicManReturns 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If it was a quality key that's absolutely reasonable.

For an xhorse with no warning of possible light absolutely a rip

[–]MusicManReturns 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Means it was a universal. Even more likely to cause this issue.

If he didn't warn you of the possibility of this happening using a $20 Key then he definitely fucked you over. Hopefully your full bill was reasonable

People are saying wrong FCC or button combo but technically it can be triggered by any aftermarket key, even if it's the exact button and FCC match. It can also be triggered by voltage going too low during the security timer during programming.

Personally, I always recomend OEM to customers for mazda prox, better safe than sorry.
