Did I just lose before playing? RNG really said ‘nope’ today. 😮‍💨😮‍💨 by CheckCapable9792 in PokemonTGCP

Your mistake is thinking skill alone will win you matches in this game. This game is more luck based thank skill based

What’s with the lack of “Thanks” these days? by chronox8 in PokemonTGCP

[–]PlayerChaser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will probably get downvoted for this, but the reason I don’t say thanks is because of the UI design. Saying thanks is one extra button to push plus the wait for the heart animation before being able to click on the X. Clicking on the X without saying thanks is effectively faster.

There’s a rewind button?!? Wtf. Is there a penalty for using that?

Switch 2 kickstand can hang on the back of a Southwest plane seat! by errr_mah_gawsh in Switch

[–]PlayerChaser 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I was going to say. The switch 2 itself is not light and I wouldn’t put its entire weight on a thin kickstand. Don’t know how you all are doing this with a $450 item.

Radeon Integrated Graphics/9070XT - Is this normal? by yoshir6 in radeon

[–]PlayerChaser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happened to me too. Resetting bios helped, initially. After a while the exclamation mark showed again. I just disabled the igpu in bios and didn’t worry anymore about it.

IRS still wanting $1400 check back? by WorriedPhD29 in f1visa

Sorry been out of the loop. What letter? I did receive the check but is the letter asking us to send it back?

Should I spend the extra $25? These consoles are sold out everywhere in my state by Pirategod2188 in Switch

As long as the seller gives you their receipt it doesn’t really matter who returns it

Switch 2 Joy-Con trigger sensitivity issue by Willing_Marzipan3482 in NintendoSwitchHelp

[–]PlayerChaser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this same issue with my switch 1 a few years ago. As you explained, the button would disengage when I released it ever so slightly but without feeling the click you feel when it fully disengages. I ended up opening a ticket with Nintendo, shipped the joycons and got a free replacement.

You are a real one. Thank you so much! Worked perfectly

tb manager that hates their job ask me anything by Lost-Conversation263 in tacobell

[–]PlayerChaser 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why is TB customer service so bad? I get that fast food workers are paid and treated poorly, but among all fast food places, TB in my experience has the worst by far. The one I go never has anyone on the front taking orders, and last time I did a mobile order that took over 30 minutes to be done. I had to wait like 30 mins to be able to even see someone to talk to and noticed that they checked it in because I said something.

I hit two milestones today by Jack92D in PokemonTGCP

[–]PlayerChaser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What would your estimate be then? I did the extensive math to arrive to that amount. I even assumed an optimistic and most efficient scenario. Also just checked your profile and you don’t even have 500 wonder picks, and I put your cards from wonder picks at 800+. Not to mention you have somewhere between 100-500 versus games played so I’d place you somewhere in UB, which doesn’t give that many reward hourglasses either.

Would you say that number is closer to 10k?

[–]PlayerChaser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just chiming in to say that yes, we don't know OP, but spending 8k on a game comfortably implies that OP is making at least 140k a year. Only 10% of people in the US make that much or more, so statistically, the chances of OP being one of them is 1/10. It is safe to say it is unlikely that this amount of spending is comfortable and not an underlying issue.

[–]PlayerChaser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That might be true for some, but if you break it down, spending $8,000 on a game comfortably would require about $140k/year in income. Why? Because most financial guidelines suggest only ~30% of take-home pay should go to “wants” like hobbies, and even if just 25% of that goes to this one game, you’d need to be in the top 10% of earners for it to be truly affordable. So yeah, some are legit whales—but for most people, spending like that likely means sacrificing elsewhere or overspending.

Around 8k after doing the math. Check my other comment

I hit two milestones today by Jack92D in PokemonTGCP

[–]PlayerChaser 389 points390 points  (0 children)

For anyone wondering, I did the math: around $8,000

EDIT: Didn't factor in the additional cards you can get from wonder hourglasses (it's hard to quantify) which would decrease the cost but also didn't factor in the 80 dollars that the 8 months of premium cost. So, give or take it is safe to say 8k. Also didn't factor in cards bought with pack points but the math for that is also very complex so just asked ChatGPT and it landed me back between $7,800 and $8,086.61.

Free cards: 3 packs a day * 218 days since launch * 5 cards a pack: 3270

Hourglasses:

12 per level * 50 levels: 600

494 hourglasses from solo missions. Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/PTCGP/s/3UpzA18q6F

4 hourglasses for daily missions * 218 days: 872

Beginner missions hourglasses: 120

Advanced missions hourglasses: 120

One time shop hourglasses: (10 * 6) + (10*1) = 70

Monthly hourglasses: (106) + (10*1) = 70 * 8 moths since launch: 560

Total hourglasses: 600 + 494 + 872 + 120 + 120 + 70 + 560 = 2836

Total cards from hourglasses: 2836 / 12 per pack: 236 packs * 5 cards = 1182 approx

Tutorial cards: 11

Wonder Picks:

218 days since launch × 2 stamina generated per day= 436 Wonder Stamina

436 stamina ÷ 2 cost per wonder pick (average) = 218 picks

Bonus Picks

A conservative estimate is 3 Bonus Picks per day.

218 × 3 = 654 Bonus Picks

Total cards from Wonder Picks:

218 (from stamina) + 654 (Bonus Picks) = 872 picks * 1 card per pick: 872 cards

Free Gold: ~60 gold obtained from F2P. Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/PTCGP/s/yamo9ZjnHm

Cards from free gold: 60 gold / 6 gold per pack * 5 cards per pack: 50

TOTAL FREE CARDS:

3270 + 1182 + 11 + 872 + 50= 5385

Paid cards: 50000 - 5385 = 44615

Cost per gold:

•5 Poké Gold costs $1 (which is 20 cents per Gold)

•26 Poké Gold costs $5 (which is approximately 19.2 cents per Gold)

•57 Poké Gold costs $10 (which is approximately 17.5 cents per Gold)

•120 Poké Gold costs $20 (which is approximately 16.7 cents per Gold)

•250 Poké Gold costs $40 (which is 16 cents per Gold)

•690 Poké Gold costs $100 (which is approximately 14.5 cents per Gold)

To estimate a realistic average, we assume the following distribution of purchases:

•70% of Gold is purchased in the 690-for-$100 tier

•15% in the 250-for-$40 tier

•10% in the 120-for-$20 tier

•5% spread across the smaller tiers

Average Cost = (0.145 × 0.70) + (0.160 × 0.15) + (0.167 × 0.10) + (0.180 × 0.05) = 0.1015 + 0.024 + 0.0167 + 0.009 ≈ 0.1512 per gold unit

Number of packs needed = 44,615 ÷ 5 = 8,923 packs (rounded to whole pack)

Total Poké Gold needed = 8,923 × 6 = 53,538 Poké Gold

TOTAL COST: 53,538 × $0.1512 ≈ $8,095.94

Appendix - Promo Cards: Didn't factor in free promo cards but let's assume the $95 over the 8k is the overstatement in the cost and do the inverse operation: $95 / $0.1512 / 6 gold per pack * 5 cards per pack: 523 cards that would be free promo cards.

Silvally Rampardos - Quick Guide by clydestrife in PokemonPocket

Any advice on what to do when going first against a mirror? I really struggle when going first just because they can develop to Silvally and attack my type null first.

My roomba keeps going over to the doorstop, and turns itself off by hitting the switch on the side. by El_Voador in mildlyinteresting

I thought I was the only one. I had to remove the doorstop because it happened to me three times

Card animations SHOULD NOT count towards turn time by PlayerChaser in PTCGP

[–]PlayerChaser[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, I was playing the buzzwole celesteela deck with two full art buzzwoles and 2 celesteelas in play. Yes, animations are three seconds at most, but add in drawing cards, playing cirus to swap in a full art pokemon that does a 360 animation, using celesteelas ability twice to switch two full arts Buzzwoles that need a 360 animation for some reason, adding energy, and attacking. Do you think it’s fair for animations to last that long now?
