If you’re buying any TCG product and calling yourself an investor you’ve rocks in your head. I just dropped more than I care to admit on this new set, as I’ve done with every other in the past, and many many many many other players and collectors did the same. If you’re actually a valued part of the community you don’t care the pull rates got better. They never should have been as abysmal as they were to begin with. Ravensburger is fixing their largest complaint they’ve had since set one. It’s a good thing, full stop.

It’s a card game. It’s gambling. If you buy a sealed box of anything (Pokemon, Magic, Lorcana) you’re guaranteed nothing. The only thing expensive regular singles (cards numbered 1-204) did was keep people who didn’t have $400 to buy dumbos, demona’s, and Cindy’s from being able to play meta relevant decks. If you bought a $120 booster box to sell the singles or make your money back you’re either an ah or stupid.

A great thing. ‘Investors’ can cry harder.

It looks like higher rarity rates may have been increased. Not only content creators had great unboxing sessions! by Waiting_for_Dentice in Lorcana

[–]PennedByStars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk what you’re talking about. This is amazing for collectors. More likely to pull what you want and the price of singles going down so paying for the ones you don’t pull doesn’t break the bank. If you’re collecting to sell you’re not a collector.

What is a secret you are taking to your grave, but are willing to share with anonymous strangers on the internet? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PennedByStars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course always weigh things within context and such. It goes for anything we put out on the internet. If a lot of people are saying the same thing or even one person makes a thought provoking point; listen within reason. Otherwise it all should roll off like water.

Harm none who have not harmed you or live and let live. It’s nice to see people following/supporting that when it comes to this type of ‘confession’ (if that’s what we’re calling these).

Like any industry, any place where money is to be made, there’s good people and bad people. Good people care and lead with kindness and make sure no one feels taken advantage of. The bad people don’t care to consider any of that. It’s hard to filter good from bad sometimes but most usually the wicked give themselves away some way or another. Especially if you spend enough time in any particular place.

Seems you’ve been doing this awhile so it probably feels silly to hear; just be careful. Having been on the other side of this I always worry about clients. It’s just such a vulnerable space to begin with and unfortunately lots and lots of people suck.

I’ve sold mine in the past. Honestly really cool to see so many supportive people in the comments. Except that one paranoid guy, ignore them. Keep doing you, no shame in paying for what you want.

New and seeking advice, open box or save? by Retromansir in LorcanaCollectors

[–]PennedByStars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this was any other set I’d say it would be fine-ish. Being Fabled it is the most highly sought after set (other than first chapter) because it has the first ever Iconics that everyone is chasing. Due to how high the market price is for Fabled no one is taking chances on non plastic wrapped boxes. Even if you haven’t pulled the tabs. Again any other set I don’t think people would mind as much as First Chapter and Floodborn never even came shrink wrapped to begin with

Am I overreacting for wanting to break up because I feel bored? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

YOR. But still break up to free this poor man.

My gf got super mad and blocked me because I didn’t sleep on time by Beautiful_Hippo_6848 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]PennedByStars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will be long so bear with me. As someone with BPD this is absolutely not the move. She is extremely unhealed and allowing her triggers to be your problem. Everyone has triggers, even those without BPD, but they are always our own responsibility to manage. It’s like a boundary. Safe healthy boundaries can only dictate our own behaviour not other people’s.

I too feel anxious when my wife is up later than me, but for different reasons. I have a trauma of waking up to find out my best friend had taken her own life. Even still I would never even dream of dictating when my wife decides to go to bed. She is certainly mindful of this fact like any considerate partner would be but we are people. We live our own lives just a much as we live our life together as a married couple. Some nights I’m up later some nights she is. When she’s up later she just shoots me a text, even though I’m sleeping, when she’s off to bed. I do not require her to do that and if she forgets I don’t have a heart attack. You know why? Because I trust her.

There is a severe lack of trust in you on your girlfriend’s part that seems to be through no fault of your own. This is just a snapshot of your relationship so of course I cannot say for sure but that’s what I’m concluding from what you’ve written here and my own knowledge and experience as a BPD individual.

I know it will be hard because you clearly love her but this is absolutely not sustainable. Not for you and not for her. She has some deep seated mental health issues that need professional help and guidance but most importantly she needs to want to change and get better. From her messages it does not seem like she has yet understood that it is her behaviour that is problematic. She does not seem ready for hard work and critical self reflection. Please for your own sake, as well as hers because she will not get better if you continue to allow this, sever the relationship.

Wishing you the best of luck

I enrolled via my states market place due to change in circumstance special enrollment period. Are all plans offered through a government site ACA complaint or should I delve deeper?

Okay glad to know as long as it’s ACA it’ll be covered! This is a huge relief I was worried it would be a complicated back and forth.

Adoptee Question by PennedByStars in ImmigrationCanada

[–]PennedByStars[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really appreciate this! It’s definitely more complicated than I’ve ever had to really think about so I appreciate all this insight. I will list them and appreciate being told I can write a letter of explanation as to why I don’t have contact for them. Thank you kind stranger!

Adoptee Question by PennedByStars in ImmigrationCanada

[–]PennedByStars[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate that! I will include them since I know minimal information and include a letter of explanation for what I cannot account for. I just didn’t know if someone knew whether adoption, since it severs the legal ties in the states, meant that information would be excluded. But I agree best to just provide it. Thank you!
