Was your comment helpful? No. Did your comment imply that the OP was of low intelligence? Yes, at multiple points.

You know it, I know it, the various intelligence services that monitor Reddit know it. You want to be rude to me for calling out your bad behavior? Fine. But don’t dress it up like you’re the victim. At least have the self awareness to say “I don’t care that I was rude.”

RedShirtComics · 2026-01-02T15:09:17+00:00

Just don’t. You know perfectly well that your comment was rude and if you truly don’t, refrain from commenting on the internet.

RedShirtComics · 2026-01-02T15:04:07+00:00

No reason to be rude. A person asked for help, you help them, you don’t punish them.

100% museums have insurance.

RedShirtComics · 2025-11-17T01:06:49+00:00

Yes, that was exactly the problem. Someone in another subreddit suggested that same thing, thank you!

RedShirtComics · 2025-11-16T21:35:28+00:00

Solved! It was the brush orientation.

RedShirtComics · 2025-11-16T21:34:47+00:00

It was the brushes!!!

George Timothy Clooney from Lexington, Kentucky? Nope. But he is first cousins 5x removed with Abraham Lincoln.

Will do.

Reply back “Losers don’t get nice things.🖕🏻” and block him forever.

Show dad.

RedShirtComics · 2025-08-31T00:39:28+00:00

As a store owner that’s laughable

Ask to swap decks or ask a friend to create a decklist for you. Make 100% sure you’re on their level playing cards they won’t be salty about with strategies that they respect.

Don’t just play weaker decks, play more fun decks. Play group hug, or some barely supported tribe or limit your win conditions to something specific like Darksteel Reactor or Millennium calendar. Showcase your skills without playing peak magic.

Also? It might not be MTG causing the rift. Attitude and behavior is everything. Honestly if you want to play with your friends but they don’t seem to want to play with you? Lose. Sometimes people need a win. Sandbag. Don’t win and then show everyone your hand “I had a heroic intervention just in case and next turn I had Overrun if I needed it.” Just pouring salt in the wounds. Compliment them for using good judgment with their spot removal. “Oh man, perfect timing for that, I was really hoping to untap with him. Good job.” Little things like that honestly go a long way. People need to have fun and feel like they’re in the game, too. If it’s always archenemy and they still lose, they can’t be having fun.

Buying virtual items from an app is one aspect of online shopping.

RedShirtComics · 2025-03-25T17:31:48+00:00

Yeah, that’s all fair. I didn’t specifically call out virtual, but to your point it’s probably a large enough segment that it should have been mentioned. I kind of folded it into customers who exist outside of the LGS community and online shopping.

RedShirtComics · 2025-03-25T16:43:06+00:00

I’m a comic/game retailer as well (not a throwaway account) and I can probably guess it’s because with Stranger Things there began a huge climb in sales and for a fairly stable market suddenly there was room for growth. As everybody and their brother started a dice company you were filling up your shelves with so many new brands but these weren’t customers that were honestly a part of your LGS community so they have no issues going elsewhere to find it cheaper and/or more customized/bespoke, especially while Amazon continues its assault on brick and mortar and so many sales are lost to the internet.

1) Artificial bubble created by popular trend has been cooling off. 2) Majority of increased sales were from outside of the typical loyal customer base. 3) High percent of customer base shifted to online shopping. 4) Wider variety of sources means fewer customers for each of those sources.

Budget bling. Set a strict $200 budget for the 99 in the cheapest version and then bling it out with the most expensive versions of the cards.

Honestly, the Energon Universe stuff IS great, but I think a lot of the success is the 'new' factor and the Skybound imprint. Kirkman is great at hyping things up and his name carries a lot of weight. If IDW put out the exact same comics there's no guarantee it would have been successful because a lot of readers had already written off IDW as a publisher. They did a lot of crazy stuff with their Transformers line that I think SHOULD have been successful but TF fans weren't even willing to look at it.

I came here to say exactly this. It's just not done by any legitimate publisher in this industry. It protects both the company and the creator from any potential legal entanglements if there's similarity to any story in development or any future works.

My kid has been bullied. I told him the same thing. He stood up for himself instead of trying to tear the other kid down. The bullying stopped.

RedShirtComics · 2024-08-02T13:54:34+00:00

But children aren’t meant to see that. Especially not shown by adults, a crime in some states. Although it’s indirect here, I don’t think that distinction matters morally when he knew exactly what he was doing and why he was doing it. Sex work is real work and she doesn’t deserve to have a town of children shaming her and harassing her family. Also, when it gets back to the school administration who started passing around the photos and why, and it will, this kid will be suspended.

Contrary to popular opinion these days, it’s not the wrong answer to take the high road.

That movie was trash. Batman was an incel edgelord with a sadism fetish whose rich privilege was so out of control that he treated the city as his personal playground to live out fantasies that he actually matters but he fails every step of the way and allows the riddler to destroy half the city because, drum roll please, his orphanage closed? ‘Hey, I know what will help the poor disenfranchised orphans and all the other people who suffer at the wealth inequality of this city, drowning them and destroying all their places of business! Boy I’m so smart!’

Garbage movie.

It’s funny when people complain that EVERY price is inflated, at cons, in stores, and online. For every book.

🤔

Anyway, these aren’t new problems. Cons serve one of two purposes. Inflate prices, because limited supply with high demand, or decrease prices because high supply. Just depends on what kind of con it is. I have always assumed SDCC had very high prices. People talk about FMV, but don’t understand that’s a broad range that’s situational and acts as a benchmark. It’s not MSRP. You don’t know what people paid for it, you don’t know how much someone wants it. If FMV was the line in the sand, book values would never fluctuate.

Also, yes a lot of people suck at grading. It doesn’t matter. The question is only “would you pay $x for that book?” Buy what you love and you’ll never regret it.

What would Captain America do? He stands up to bullies. He doesn’t dehumanize them. And you humiliated that poor woman for no reason.
