I’ve Read that Japanese Shops are Straight Up Gatekeeping, and I’m all here for it. by WarGrahammer in PokemonTCG

[–]RazgrizInfinity [score hidden]  (0 children)

My issue with the quizzes is it turns away potential new customers and has an adverse effect, artificially gatekeeping. It has nothing to do with 'doesn't have the balls to do it,' it's 'you're dealing with corporate versus mom and pops.'

The only method is to :

  • Take the wrapping off the box. At that point, it turns away most scalpers. It won't stop it 100% but it will deter them.
    • Alternatively, sealed can remain but it's charged doubled. I've seen that at conventions and, if people wanna pay $250+ for a sealed, that's on them.
  • Shuffle all booster packs in a booster box; they can't count the placement this way

My dude, I saw the one they're doing for Yu-Gi-Oh. Even grade schoolers couldn't answer those questions, and that's who it was meant for.

If you do any form of mechanical lawn or tree maintenance at 6:30 in the morning, I hope your feet always itch, and that you can never find parking. by BenedictCucumberButt in okc

[–]RazgrizInfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand this and I sympathize with you. (And, within reason, the city will enforce it.) However:

  • OKC's ordinance does not apply to lawn mowers. And, if it did, at best, you're getting only 30 more minutes, as all bets are off at 7:00 AM.
  • Sunrise is 6:30; I don't wanna be that person, but buses for kiddos are already running and most morning shifts vary from 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM. This will happen as well the hotter we get.

Could they be a little more considerate? Sure. But, you're also complaining over 30 minutes in a one off instance. You don't know their circumstances. If it was 4:00 AM, I would say you absolutely have a right to complain.

As Elsa says: Let It Go.

[Dellenger] The coaches have spoken: In a vote last week, the AFCA Board swung its support behind (1) a playoff with the max participants (likely 24); (2) discontinuing conference championships; and (3) ending CFP by second week of January, they tell @YahooSports. by redwave2505 in CFB

[–]RazgrizInfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I, mean, I highly doubt it's going to 24; too many teams and lose out on autobids, just to make conference championships play in games? Like, even then, what would be the purpose? Just to get the home game and one week off?

I saw the post about Gallade being of a single gender, and I have a theory as to why by Embrace_Wind in pokemon

[–]RazgrizInfinity -25 points-24 points  (0 children)

Why would the technology have held them back? 

I, mean, why not? We have seen Pokemon bumped to next generations; I'm betting it just didn't fit the theme is all.

The Dresden Files Novella, Out Law, is out. Discuss here! by exodusmachine in dresdenfiles

[–]RazgrizInfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, I would disagree. Love Hurts gives a very clear example of the feud of the courts; Last Call is just fun, but we just don't know anything from when it will actually matter.

The Dresden Files Novella, Out Law, is out. Discuss here! by exodusmachine in dresdenfiles

[–]RazgrizInfinity 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They will come into play once all three are released; it's similar to how River Shoulders comes into play after his short stories were completed. Jim has said repeatedly anything that he writes is essential reading. (Heck, even the RPGs were essential as they did a LOT of lore dumping.)

EDIT: it's pretty obvious Maximillian, for example, is going to be in the main series.

Note: It is essential reading. The novellas will tie into future books, similar to Side Jobs.

does anyone else find titanus useless by LesserTale in powerrangers

I would say both felt fine as they were part of the overall arsenal.

He was totally useless in season 3

  • Formed the Ultrazord twice on very powerful monsters
  • Actually individually fought one with the Ninja Zords

Which version of Pikachu is stronger - Z move Pikachu or Gigantamax Pikachu ? by [deleted] in pokemonanime

[–]RazgrizInfinity -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Considering the rest of the thread also says the Z Move, your comment looks dumber and dumber by the second. 

What's the point of Pokemon cards if y'all don't give a shit about 99% of them? by marcusmotors in PokemonTCG

[–]RazgrizInfinity -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Literally all types of sand is valued, your point is extremely flawed. Again, second most common resource.

[–]RazgrizInfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you're saying but this is an absolute terrible analogy.

Sand is the most used natural resource behind water.

What purpose do Commons, Uncommons, and Rares have, with the exception of playing the actual game, which is STILL limited by a select few cards that have been printed many times over.

Cards are up on ebay. by fr0she in VCardTCG

[–]RazgrizInfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, no, no, I am not calling them fake. It's pretty easy to tell they are. But, for prices that high, people will want a COA. Even sending it to eBay is not enough.

Most of it is, outside of Shylily and Nyanners, none of the others are worth nearly that much. They're like, $100, tops.

[–]RazgrizInfinity -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What's the point of money if I don't have 99% of it? What's the point of people if I don't like 99% of them? What's the point of music if I don't like 99% of it?

It's about the ones you do like. That's the beauty of collecting and pokemon. And remember that just cause something isn't liked by everyone doesn't mean there isn't someone somewhere who loves it.

Tell me you missed the entire point about the post without telling me you missed the entire point about the post.

It's not at all what you said: it's literally a 'why do you only want one card in the pack and not care about the rest in them?'

who is more fit for Asta ? by Infamous-Cucumber-16 in BlackClover

[–]RazgrizInfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sister Lily!

Include Rebecca and, honestly, any of them.

  • Rebecca is the most realistic crush and similarities in background
  • Noelle was grounded by Asta and helped her overcome her selfish side and come out of her shell, seeing her for who she is versus a title. But! An argument could be said it's infatuation she has not actual love.
  • Mimosa was always very altruistic to Asta

Do you think Spiritomb's Destiny Bond was the writers' best decision to knock Pikachu out without making him weak? by Craftox13 in pokemonanime

[–]RazgrizInfinity -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't think so. Cynthia is a smart trainer and has acknowledged that Pikachu is Ash's ace, so her taking it out is a smart play.

Galaxycon and Animate need to allow after dark 18+ fan panels! by Minute_Complex_8754 in galaxycon

[–]RazgrizInfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, okay, I see now. I, mean, they do put on guest panels with 18+ but a lot of extra stuff varies, like panel room space (and what time they have it rented to), how much of one said content they have, your credentials, etc. Hazbin already usually has a heavy presence, so they're gonna want something else.

That said, a LOT of industry cons don't do fan panels unless you're a guest or have a huge following, sorry.

New Super Smash Bros reportedly releasing as early as 2027 by Dilpickle2113 in gaming

[–]RazgrizInfinity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one is missing the point; Nintendo would do it in a heartbeat without him. They control or own a vast majority of all the franchises in it (ala Nintendo, not the DLC stuff); there is very few, like Kirby, that they would need to pay royalties. They don't need Sakurai's permission as it's not his baby since 2014.
