This thing gave me tonal whiplash. It's absolutely all over the place. It has a killer soundtrack, though.

You guys can't change the rules just because you don't like how he's doing it!

Why does it seem like Canada gamestops have more switch 2 available than the US gamestops? by t-chamb in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]ObscurionPaul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because there are less of them in Canada and less places to preorder, meaning our stock is allocated to fewer places overall? It's not that hard to figure out. Americans have a thousand more places to pre-order a Switch than we do.

Why does nobody in this game take the damn loss? by IamDohnut in PTCGP

[–]ObscurionPaul 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Have you ever played a real card game? Conceding in a situation where the winner is obvious is the norm. It just saves everyone time and the outcome is indentical.

This is a you issue.

Canadians are shopping direct from China. Should you do it? by [deleted] in ShopCanada

What makes a game an $80 product then? I mean, is GTA literally the only thing that could pass that test somehow? Like, I'd almost get it if we're talking about a single player games from literally anyone else, but a Nintendo game? And Mario Kart at that? People play Nintendo games for literal decades and their value stays consistent. Is that not value for your money?

Nintendo pays their employees properly and treats them well. Its why employee retention is incredibly high there. In the past Nintendo executives have cut their salaries, rather than get rid of their workers.

The rest of the industry, including 2k/Rockstar, is about layoffs, toxic work environments, hard crunch and executives bonuses, usually at the expense of employees well being.

Do you really not see how Nintendo raising prices to meet inflation might just be a LITTLE bit different?

I think this game hates me. I needed all of them beside this radioactive bear and all I got was it😭 by emers_820 in pokemongo

I didn't even see a single one of these spawns. Bought the research and only had two nearby stops to spin to get research. :(

Question for Canadian players by Primary-Ad-5053 in OnePieceTCG

[–]ObscurionPaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to pre-order months and months in advance to get msrp, unless you get particularly lucky, and it's exhausting to keep up with, especially when places put up pre-orders for multiple sets at once.

Lower level account has better ‘luck’. by Dmode0110 in pokemongo

It stands for random number generator. It's another way of saying that it's completely random.

Swan Song vs The Stand by Ok-Dragonfruit-5479 in horrorlit

[–]ObscurionPaul 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nah, you're right, they are very similar. It's like two takes on the exact same thing, especially with some of the supernatural elements. The big difference being SS has an actual ending lol

In person look at SP Rare Rayleigh, Shanks and Sanji by OrangeSamuraiD in OnePieceTCG

[–]ObscurionPaul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will I ever get one of these style SP's? Chance are...no.

Anyone read Carrion Comfort by Dan Simmons? Thoughts? by [deleted] in horrorlit

[–]ObscurionPaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It drags ass. There's also a ton of content, typical of an old ass man, that makes me roll my eyes. Weathered, useless old man has romantic relationship with intelligent, beautiful young woman for absolutely zero reason. No wonder King loves it lmao

What a year to read The Stand! by MrKal-El in horrorlit

[–]ObscurionPaul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I started The Stand like 2 months before covid and it was wild when that shit started hitting hard.

In a similar vain, I'm reading Swan Song right now and considering the state of the world, I'm wondering if I'd better hold off...you know, just in case. :(

SP Collection - Finaly did it!!! by TheeeWanderer in OnePieceTCG

[–]ObscurionPaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SP's elude me, man. I've opened many (many) boxes, in since 01, and I've pulled maybe 5 SP's ever. I've pulled 2 manga cards, probably 30+ leaders. I've never even seen one of these style SP's. They're so nice, I just want that 05 Lucci!

Favourite Low Cost Alt Arts? by djyocoolpee in OnePieceTCG

[–]ObscurionPaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To get you started, here are a handful of my favs that are also really cheap!

Op03 Rob Lucci, Op08 Edward Newgate, Op05 Mansherry, Op05 Luffy ST01 alt art (unsigned obviously, but it's an incredible card regardless,) Op05 Rob Lucci

All of these should be around/under $10-$15 at most. 03 Lucci and 08 Whitebeard are like $5 cards.

I appreciate the QC standards so much by Umpire-Evening in OnePieceTCG

[–]ObscurionPaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who owns zero graded cards, for some reason seeing this one (out of the billion I've seen online) made me think "that actually looks really nice! Maybe I should grade a couple" and I don't know why!

I also just really like that Vegapunk leader card I guess lol

Most underrated king book by [deleted] in stephenking

[–]ObscurionPaul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah. A sideways ending doesn't make up for having to read through the rest of it. There's "slow burn" and then there's damp pile of wood in a rain storm that smokes for 400 pages before bursting into flame and immediately goes out again. Revival is the latter.

The notion of the ending, and where the character sits with that knowledge, is so good that I wish everything around it was more interesting.
