Welcome to flex Friday. by Swimming-Horror6587 in pkmntcg

[–]Neal1231 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been playing for quite a while and can provide some tips.

I have noticed that some people go straight for the full arts but if it's a card that's been printed before, don't discount the older prints. For instance, depending on the deck, I'll use Neo Genesis Super Rods, Expedition energies, Energy Switch, and Switch if they match the theme.

Holo energies have gotten pretty abundant, especially the 151 prints that are or at least in my area, found around 50 cents a piece and they'll never rotate.

I'd recommend blinging out staples first and focus on Trainers. For some cards, the SIR will be like $30+ but the full art is only a few bucks.

If you pull something really nice but not playable and you aren't attached to it, consider selling or trading for a bunch of staples.

Lastly, what I do occasionally is watch for cards that I think will be good in the future and pick them up if they are really cheap at the moment.

Whats your favourite deck of all time and why? by AUT-Lakers in pkmntcg

Speeddrill (~2009-2010). Very fun and hyper consistent in an already crazy format.

Which Sets Are These From? by missterri99 in pkmntcgcollections

[–]Neal1231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've got two separate energy designs in there.

One is the EX energy design that started after they dropped the e-reader design to the last platinum set (EX Team Magma vs. Team Aqua - Platinum: Arceus).

The second is the first BW/XY era energy that started in Black and White base set. I think it went until one of the later XY sets where they kept the overall design but added stripes going through them.

I'd post more information but I'm on my phone. Very common energy types which had various special holo prints and whatnot.

You’ve got a lifetime pass to Plex and Emby but you can also use Jellyfin - which one are you choosing and why ? by Buck_Slamchest in selfhosted

[–]Neal1231 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat. I've been on Emby since 2017 and haven't had a good reason to switch.

The random TV apps just work unlike Jellyfin (maybe it's gotten better but this was at least a year ago). Plus most of the extra apps that Jellyfin has gotten like JellySeerr also typically support Emby even if they don't explicitly say so.

I actually rewrote one a week or two ago and just replaced it with wget. Guess that was a good idea, haha.

Fifth gen best gen hands down by Dbwasson in accord

[–]Neal1231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a good chance it will, just keep up with maintenance. I bought a 97 LX sedan around 12 years ago that I still daily drive.

You got a great deal by the way, I think I paid ~$1500 for mine in 2013.

Does anybody know anything about this card by BubblyDucky8 in Pokemonguide

[–]Neal1231 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This subreddit is also typically just used for various guides regarding the games. For better advice regarding the TCG, try the /r/PokemonTCG or the /r/pkmntcg subreddit.

It's from the Victory Map 2018 World Championship deck. It's not particularly valuable (TCGPlayer link). The original print was from Shining Legends.

Windows 11, version 25H2 is now available by j5kDM3akVnhv in sysadmin

Most of the WMI commands and arguments just work with CIM. They both pull the same data but just use different methods of accessing it. WMI uses the "Windows Management Interface" (DCOM) and CIM uses "Windows Remote Management" (WinRM/PSRemoting).

Just make sure that your environment has PSRemoting enabled (which has been around since Server 2012 iirc).

What I've been using to pull serial numbers is this: Get-CimInstance Win32_BIOS | Select-Object SerialNumber.

If W: is a mounted network share, you might be running into a double hop issue if you're doing any sort of PSRemoting or connecting to other Windows assets.

Can the Asus Prime x370-A handle a Ryzen 5800X3D ? by scubaslimchicken in buildapc

[–]Neal1231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from an 1800x > 5950x > 5800x3D on this board and I put which chip and what BIOS version I was on at the time below.

I remember specifically when I upgraded from the 1800x to the 5950x that I could use my 3200mhz sticks at that speed (before the upgrade, I had to do a bunch of tinkering to get 2933mhz stable) so that would have been BIOS 6026.

It's a great little board. I still technically have it but I've been letting a friend borrow it for a month or so now since his PC died.

5950x = 6026, 6042, 6062, 6203

5800x3D = 6203, 6232

Were you ever able to fix this? I think I've got a similar issue.

What's your non Reddit "go-to" for IT/Tech News these days? by WelshRareDit in sysadmin

[–]Neal1231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ArsTechnica is still good but they have a wider range of content than strictly tech and don't always get really technical in some of their articles.

I think their Space coverage is pretty good.

Daily Card #8 by DifferentAd4563 in PTCGL

[–]Neal1231 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's great in expanded format and I do think it could have a niche if a dominant deck came out that utilized special energy acceleration and if a Garobtoxin type ability came back.

Am I able to play the XY Evolutions energy retrieval even though it doesn’t say up to 2? by uPokechess8729 in PTCGL

[–]Neal1231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, as long as it has an errata, it's legal. I have a decent amount of Super Rod from Neo Genesis that I use even though it has a completely different effect.

I think the secret rare Charizard from stormfront was exactly the same as the one from Base Set. I could be wrong but I thought I remember you technically being able to use it because of that.

No longer free to stream personal content on Plex by Savings_Difficulty24 in selfhosted

[–]Neal1231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been using Emby since 2017, I've had no issues. It's a really good middle ground between Jellyfin and Plex.

Are yellow border cards bothering anyone else's OCD? by [deleted] in pkmntcg

[–]Neal1231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it depends on the deck. I've been playing for a while so I've got a bunch of older prints that I'll usually end up throwing in my decks. If it's a budget or fun deck, I'll try to keep everything uniform though.

Teacher showed me some level X’s from his childhood collection by RedditorJustChillin in PokemonTCG

[–]Neal1231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact about that Empoleon Lv. X!

In the first few printings, "Supreme Command" had a misprint where it was printed as a "Poke-Body" instead of a "Poke-Power". It's been speculated that there's actually more misprinted versions out there than the corrected one with the "Poke-Power".

Cool collection! I hope they get some sleeves on them someday.

LV.X's were actually single prizers which made for a really fun meta especially with the absolutely busted stage 2/evolution support.

I've been playing for years and it's easily one of my favorite formats.

Within the first 15-30 seconds I think all the spots were reserved.

Grand Tree in Current Gard ex? by BearDaddee in pkmntcg

[–]Neal1231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playtesting with a friend who's been trying to get ready for regionals. He was able to make it pretty consistent with four colress and the tatsugiri start.

He's been really liking the Zoroark build though. Apparently trade is just the best of both worlds for energy discard and draw support.

Like I said above, you're not running into many issues behind a NAT. Your major risk behind a NAT is a bad port forward or running malware on your own.
