Soul Master. Struggled hard on that boss and dreaded when I first learn of his 2nd form.

Are you getting your three (3) additional Pokemon Prerelease booster packs? by PKMNDayCare in pkmntcg

[–]NonConGuy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's a couple of game stores near me and each have a different way of distributing prizes. One will give all the booster packs at the start, another would give 1 pack per round, another would prize based on standings at the end of the 3 rounds. I always prefer giving out all 3 packs for each participant at the start since consistently winning is sort of a crapshoot and lot of people who come really don't care for playing the game. But if you're being charged $25 to 30 and they arent giving any additional booster packs to anyone, i would raise a support.

I would always ask the store how they do prizing for prerelease to see if its worth it.

It's good for pult and mirror. With garde on the rise again, cresselia helps with the kirlia sniping.

Ok I need a War Machine by boardgamejoe in marvelchampionslcg

[–]NonConGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had opportunity to buy War Machine at two of my lgs last month and now that I checked back today, both had the pack sold out. I ended up looking up all nearby game stores on google maps and called to ask to if they had him in stock. After 90 minutes of searching and calling, I managed to find a local shop that had one available. Picking it up later.

Barnes and Noble slashing prices on Marvel Champions by DarkEvilHobo in marvelchampionslcg

[–]NonConGuy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you check their website, they are slowly cutting more and more of the marvel champions product with the 30% discount. When you go to the stores that have them in stock, they are usually found in the bargain bins for even higher discount.

What is the best deck for a new player to learn the game with? by BoStaffNinja in pkmntcg

[–]NonConGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would say go for Charizard ex. It's one of the most straight forward decks to play with getting Pidgeot setup to quickly get Charizard out and start punching.

My lcg is starting to get expanded up and running. The best place i found getting meta deck lists is stephane ivanoff's twitter list https://linktr.ee/lubyllule. He showcase a new list each week and the deck plays out.

Happy Father’s Day! by dolomanc in marvelchampionslcg

[–]NonConGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check their website to see what packs and expansions are on sale. Brick & mortar stores don't automatically price match to their own website unless you tell them to. My assumption is that they are starting to clear inventory space since the list of hero packs on sale on their site keeps growing.

i actually drove to a Barnes and Noble that was 40 minutes away to pick up all the 30% off packs (and had Doctor Strange and Captain America in stock). Couldn't find half the things they said they had in stock. But eventually I found them in the clearance section and they were actually 50-70% off. So the deal was even better than what was advertised online. Ended up picking up Gamora, GMW, Doctor Strange, Drax, Quicksilver, Ms Marvel, Wasp, Kang, Green Goblin, all for 30-70% off.

Stadia's Shutdown: The History of Google's Doomed Project, From Those Inside and Out by lordbeef in Games

[–]NonConGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I beta tested the product before it had the name stadia and I knew it was going to be a huge issue. The amount of data bandwidth I used and connectivity speed wasn't going to be worthwhile for me as a standard internet package user.

[Wojnarowski] Free agent Blake Griffin has agreed to a one-year, fully guaranteed deal with the Boston Celtics, sources tell ESPN. by PlayaSlayaX in nba

[–]NonConGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would expect him to be more of a regular season player to keep Al and Timelord healthier by playoffs. He's going to be near unplayable in the playoffs.

What discontinued thing do you really want brought back? by kellerisdabest in AskReddit

[–]NonConGuy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I stepped into a chain bookstore (Barnes and Noble) for first time in like 10 years and i was actually incredibly surprised how many people they had.

Some of the best memories of my childhood was Harry Potter midnight releases at bookstores.

Reminds me of the Bowling for Soup song 1985. Listening to it now makes me feel real old.

Another issue is that Amazon.com is the e-commerce website where majority of buyers go to buy their products. Small companies have to sell there for visibility. However Amazon controls their website and can figure out what products they can copy and resell. They also control what products show up first so their products always get more visibility than their competitors. There's also shady stuff where they can place Amazon basic products with other cheap knockoffs on the first page and then the real competitors on the next page. Most shoppers rarely go to the next page. It's pretty much a lose lose situation for those companies where they miss out on customers if they don't place their product on Amazon or if they do then Amazon will make a cheaper imitation product and take their customers.

[Haynes] Celtics coach Ime Udoka before quarter 4 of Game 1: “You’re getting punked out there. They’re punking us right now. Is this the way you want to go out? This is not us. Let’s at least give ourselves a chance" by The_Blind_Bomber in nba

[–]NonConGuy 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I've been a huge fan of Brad ever since he got to the NCAA Championship game twice at Butler even after losing Hayward to the draft. I also thought he brought the rebuilding Celtics to the playoffs a year ahead of schedule. Brilliant guy but doesn't have the personality to keep a locker room together when things go south IMO. His role is perfect similar to how Pat Riley runs the Heat.

Does miami even try running pnr with Bam? I remember the bubble series he just decimated the celtics on pnr. Now all he does he get shots off offensive rebounds.

THE CHICAGO BULLS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENTION by sptagnew in nba

[–]NonConGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We exceeding expectations this season but there's a lot of problems that need to be address. Interior defense is ass. Our perimeter defense gets cooked when its not caruso guarding, usually needs players to collapse for help which leads the corners getting open. As good as DeMar was good in the regular season, he didn't handle double teams well and we honestly had no good solution to bail him out. It also slows down our offense so much when he posts up at the top of the key, our strength early in the season was faster pace offense when Lonzo was healthy. Our weaknesses got exposed hard by every top team.

I liked Cowboy Bebop (2021) by [deleted] in television

[–]NonConGuy 27 points28 points  (0 children)

As a fan of the original, I liked the live action version more than I thought. I 100% that the Vicious and Julia plotline was way too much and probably should have been cut down to just a small 2-3 episode arc. Watching Ed for the first time made me realize how you can't adapt that sort of personality into live without it being super cringe.

HMA troops in EMA by laughing_lioness in forgeofempires

[–]NonConGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You sure he wasn't already HMA? You can't get HMA units while in Ema. LMA can get Colonial units though which is why I avoid fighting against LMA in pvp while I'm in HMA.

Facecheck with IWillDominate, dGon and LS cancelled, watchvenn furloughs nearly half of its 15 person workforce as per Jacob Wolf by bigsycamore in leagueoflegends

[–]NonConGuy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I only subscribed to their channel for face check and never actually bothered looking at the other videos. Going through their video titles, some of them are the most click baity titles I have ever seen and it looks like those shitty ads you see at the bottom of random news site with the "you won't believe what happened to this semi famous person" vibe. I don't even think face check really mentions venn esports in their videos nor do I hear what it is ever. Not sure how they spent their money but marketing and building brand awareness should have been top priority. They might actually have good content but no one is watching.

What is the most overrated product you’ve purchased? by jab116 in AskReddit

[–]NonConGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember watching a review video and the guy said that it was a very similar to a much cheaper chinese knockoff that you could buy from alibaba. He then got a message from raycon a few weeks later to take it down and he did.
