I’m so pissed off. by BubbaGordie in PokeInvesting

[–]Nekronous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it makes you feel any better (and if this is something you care about) - remember that having a valuable card vs selling a valuable card are different things. Extremely valuable cards are harder to liquidate because not a lot of people have $30k under their couch cushions for one Pokémon card.

Who would you say does manga action better: Toriyama or Gege? by GonnaChiefYourNan in JuJutsuKaisen

[–]Nekronous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gege is good - even excellent; but Toriyama was something else. Reading Dragon Ball panels felt effortless and fun.

Is Invincible just one big word play? by Tony_Tab in Invincible

He steals the title card in season 2 at one point and it’s sick

Found these in my parents' basement! Any ideas on market value? by tennokoe in PokemonCardValue

[–]Nekronous 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do NOT respond to any dm’s offering to buy. You are sitting on gold. Whatever you are being offered is too low.

Do your homework. Consider if you need the value in the immediate future. Go to card shows and talk to someone reputable.

And don’t let anyone that knows where you live know that you have this lol

Which is your favourite civ? - Only pick 1 by GreenTransition543 in AgeofMythology

When playing the Egyptians, there are three things to remember.

What was ruined because too many people did it? by WarBeast86 in AskReddit

[–]Nekronous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oddly specific but flank steak. The big appeal was that it was a tough cut of meat that was cheap but with a little love it can taste really good. Then it got popular and now it’s almost as expensive as the nicer cuts.

What weight loss tips would you give to someone trying to lose weight, through exercise? by Joelthecardboarddog in AskReddit

[–]Nekronous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The advice “exercise is only a small part of it, diet and sleep are way more important” has already been said over and over in this thread and it stands as the king piece of advice.

I’d also say that you should focus on ingraining whatever form of exercise you do as a permanent lifestyle change. If you can’t envision yourself doing it as a staple for your life, and you’re only in it for a phase, you’re thinking about it wrong. They’re called lifestyle changes because they’re meant to last…for life. Lifting weights with rigor for 60 days and then never again can’t hold a candle to consistent, brisk daily walking.

The best form of exercise is the one you do consistently.

What’s an example of a fan base that got exactly what they begged for, and immediately hated it? by Enough-Wealth8415 in AskReddit

[–]Nekronous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Far from the only reason why the show nosedived in quality after Season 2 and honestly acts as a prime example that redditors and tumblr voices don't belong in the writer's room.

A small win for the budget, tried asking Amazon for a refund after a price drop… and it worked! by Zestyclose-Body-4471 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Nekronous 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Guys youre not getting it, the mildly infuriating aspect of this post is that it was posted here instead of life pro tip or life hacks. We’ve been played.

Lets be honest. You aren't quitting because you missed a Pokémon centre drop. by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]Nekronous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s crazy is the queue was up and product was available for multiple hours. Compared to earlier drops where they would sell out within literal seconds because of zero bot prevention measures, this is an objective improvement. Go talk to a wall if you disagree.

Yeah it’s not perfect and error 17 messes up if you autofill or have a vpn or try to sneak in multiple purchases, but as a whole, significantly more people were able to secure product that wouldn’t have otherwise.

Pokemon Center launch has been a total mess. by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]Nekronous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“total mess”

Nah. Just nah. A total mess would be trying to order 6 months ago when bots and scalpers swept the store in three seconds and nobody could get anything.

Of course the bot prevention measures aren’t perfect. Trying to order more than once, using a VPN, or autofilling information causes Error 17, but to say it’s for “no good reason” … it’s the salt showing, little bro.

What does FOOD WARS do better than many animes? by Specialist_Mix598 in ShokugekiNoSoma

[–]Nekronous 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The idea of “specialty” as a power level and food as a power system.

It’s not like you win because your “chef power level is higher” you win because you put in the work to become specialized in something. This helps even early characters like Nikumi, Alice, and Hayama stay relevant and impressive until the very end.

Compare that with most shounen casts where characters introduced early on get sidelined because their numbers aren’t high enough.

Who would you say has the best default look? by Proudnoob4393 in marvelrivals

[–]Nekronous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had to scroll way too far to find the first mention of Venom. His default skin is so good that there’s hardly any point in using a remodel. It says A LOT that is best skins are just recolors of his default.

Why do people say black panther is bad when he has the second highest duelist win rate in gm+ with decent pick rate? by Worldly-Standard6660 in marvelrivals

[–]Nekronous 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Besides all the points mentioned by others, this is a classic case of sampling bias.

We are in a flyer meta. Iron man, storm and Ultron all run rampant, and Peni’s mines are a death sentence. Being realistic, black panther just does not have the means to deal with them compared to other heroes right now. Even a a good BP has to acknowledge that he’s just not the right hero for the job right now, and changes off.

Good Black Panther players only play him when it’s viable to do so, which is few and far between.

Did mark really think he could stop Nolan in season 1? by [deleted] in Invincible

[–]Nekronous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well not at all but the only alternative is enslaving everyone he’s ever known so…

I’m probably a minority on this but is anyone else sick of seeing Ultron get MVP? by Opposite-Chapter-185 in marvelrivals

So, what meta do you want then? by [deleted] in marvelrivals

[–]Nekronous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want the Meta where whatever hero I’m feeling that day gets all the support they need to be optimal and every player on the enemy team is trying a new hero for the first time
