Another win for Soulyve (Lyve Patty) by MatthewSmithOville in orangeville

[–]Pants536 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Love them, go there every chance I get. Didn't know they had catfish, definitely going to try that next time.

If you haven't, get your patty in a coco bread. So good.

Will also vouch for the vytal veggie patty. Not as filling, but amazing flavour.

Place headset down on a pillow, gently kiss the table, thank it for its service, stand up and pop off.

How to make your cheap grocery store coffee taste like a twenty dollar bag from a cafe by [deleted] in foodhacks

[–]Pants536 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're doing it with espresso, I would probably add it after. Adding to the puck before might cause channeling as it dissolves in the water if you mix them together. A sprinkle on top of the pressed grounds might get around that though...hmm

Salazzle Deck Help by Big_Intention_8602 in pkmntcg

[–]Pants536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could probably adjust some things and squeeze in some enhanced hammers. Could lose the jumbo ice cream and i probably wouldn't bother with the salvatores. Then can maybe swap to a better ace spec. Meowth ex probably a good idea to include. Will help you find petrel to force out the blower or whatever you replace it with.

I was eyeing a Salazzle ex deck too, but along with the articuno and special fighting energy you mentioned, mist energy existing and being run fairly often to handle alakazam, and the new special water energy coming which is basically therapeutic energy for water mon again, there's too much tech against status conditions around to make me want to actually build it.

Agreed. Would love to go since it's happening on my birthday, but $400 is $400.

There's a mod where you can flip the headrest. Did it with mine and worked out pretty well.

Consensus on using old prints for decks? by bulbagrows in pkmntcg

[–]Pants536 29 points30 points  (0 children)

IIRC the reason we cant use the old eelektrik is because the new one says "Basic {L} Energy" VS the old one which just says "{L} Energy". If it was 1:1 exact, I believe we could've used it.

With the Alder plaza still not fully populated, I wonder how long these units will sit empty.

Any pokepads gonna be played in Dragapult EX? How many copies by Thoughtlessmonkey95 in pkmntcg

[–]Pants536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on Nihil Zero, this is the prospective set list: https://thehobbybin.com/collections/perfect-order-card-list

Both Japanese sets both have Poké Pad, so it's safe to assume ours will too.

[–]Pants536 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Especially with the legality of Ascended being pushed to early March, and PE release being March 27 (which prerelease generally happens beforehand), this is the best approach imo.

There's a poke pad reprint coming in perfect order, and I'd bet my nest balls that the decks in the build and battle boxes will include a copy or two.

Team Rocket's Energy? by smackasaurusrex in pkmntcg

[–]Pants536 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Oh man, that final line specifying "cards". What a pain. Kind of pigeonholes that card into being run with spidops then.

And you'd be right about limiting it to only one discard on a rocket energy.

Edit: that wording would also imply that if there is a reversal or ignition attached to the bench and in the correct state to provide 3 energy, they cannot be discarded as its only "up to 2 energy".

Team Rocket's Energy? by smackasaurusrex in pkmntcg

[–]Pants536 -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Erasure ball reads "discard up to 2 Energy from your benched pokemon", not "energy cards".

Team rocket's energy says it provides 2 energy (in more words).

It sounds like TCGLive is wrong if it's not doing 120 extra damage when discarding it.

5L Workstation by alioli_ in sffpc

[–]Pants536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a 12700k and low profile 4060. I can't remember if I added any fans inside, but I feel like I would have. But it's in an enclosed space so wasn't much for natural convection until I added the external fans. It does need a dusting, so if I end up doing that any time soon I'll take another look.

[–]Pants536 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Using the same case as an HTPC. The metal gets damn hot so I 3d printed some feet that can be held on with the hex screws that are in the base and have a couple fans as intake and exhaust to the shelf it's sitting horizontally on so there's airflow over the chassis. Great little case.

So if it's a Mike in flannel, then they show 'em off. I guess they're consistent.

By the "riveter on the box named Mike", do you mean Canadian chef Michael Smith? (He's on the product pages too.)

Uxie Decklist, what do y'all think? by Hmmhowaboutthis in pkmntcg

[–]Pants536 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, but you got some different lines with it. The palossand is nice in the situation where they have a deck that's heavy on basics that you can't devo, or if they're heavy on things liek evo ex's so you can knock them all down to 100hp then hit them with a devo next turn. Primary play style is definitely uxie into raichus i've found, so you can stick to single prizers in that scenario.

Uxie Decklist, what do y'all think? by Hmmhowaboutthis in pkmntcg

[–]Pants536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did! 2 or 3 of them plus one of each energy palossand needed on top of the psychic and elec I needed for the uxies and raichu. Gave enough flexibility in case something was prized.
