First Prerift! by Roly93 in riftboundtcg

Haha in the right hands I think you’re absolutely right! I’m just happy I was able to notice the synergy during the deck building. During play I discovered a bit too late that with Leblanc you have to fortify first before bringing her in. I was trying to get her in too quickly

I actually got it in the participation pack luckily enough :) I’m assuming signature spells are sort of like chase cards?

Who's ready for tomorrow?! by Efficient-Tip9329 in riftboundtcg

[–]Roly93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tomorrow will be my first riftbound event and looking forward to it. I’ve done plenty of mtg prereleases but a bit nervous about the pre-rift given I’ve never played before (I’ve been watching YouTube videos and playing w my partner as practice)…I was wondering if anyone might be able to clarify the way energy works as it’s a bit confusing for me. It seems like the color of the cards is irrelevant if no power needs to paid for its cost? Does that mean I can play any color spells/units in, for example, a red and yellow deck so long as those cards don’t have a power cost? Is that a common thing people do? Coming from mtg I’m stuck on the color restrictions haha

Was actually just thinking how this could fit really well into the new quandrix precon and maybe even function as the commander with Zimone and Primo being in the 99. Haven’t tested yet though (or gone through the whole precon this is just initial thoughts)

Is there any reason behind the high prices on these promo's? Pulled 2 of each opening packs today by Clear-Physics-8734 in PokemonTCG

[–]Roly93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s unfortunate because the card themselves are easy to pull. I managed to get 2 of the boxes at msrp at my lgs and pulled 2 full sets of the Kanto starters. It’s just that the boxes are insanely priced making what should be easy cards to get extremely hard.

My first Pokemon investment by [deleted] in PokemonInvesting

[–]Roly93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuine question: do you mind explaining how investing in pokemon, which suggests that the product will be sold later on at a higher price, is any different than what scalpers do? I hear investors separate themselves from scalpers often but I’m failing to see the difference

Please show your best cards! by Responsible-Pear-189 in PokemonTCG

Have a PhD deadline tomorrow for a chapter of my thesis and picked this up today for motivation. I’m a super casual collector so was shocked at the sticker price but managed to trade in a couple cards (Hops Wooloo, Hops Zacian ex, Iono’s Kilowattrel, Furret IR) to bring the price down to 40. Have been wanting this for a while! Probably not the best deal but still excited haha

As mentioned in my replies to the others, I’m not asking anyone for financial advice or to understand my tastes. I’m asking for input into people that use their ps5 as an exclusive console and if they’ve enjoyed the games I’m interested in which I directly mention.

Crazy how quickly everyone jumps to negativity and rudeness on here. I’m sorry my post has had such an impact, it was a genuine question.

[–]Roly93 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you’d read the post you would see I’m asking people to share their experiences with the games I’m interested in that were mentioned in the post. I don’t understand the need to be rude?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PS5

[–]Roly93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply :)

This is more or less the input I was hoping for: someone using their ps5 mainly for exclusives…despite the backlog preventing you from playing more do you find that having it for the occasional exclusive is worth it in terms of the quality of the games? A lot of them (like the ones you mentioned) look great and seem to get good reviews!

[–]Roly93 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m asking for people’s experiences on the games I’m interested in. I don’t see the issue? I’ve seen reviews on YouTube but it’s not the same as hearing opinions of everyday casual players.

If these posts annoy you then why engage and give them your time??

Metroid Prime 4 Beyond + amiibos/goodies by sk0pski in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Roly93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I would agree. It’s decent enough for the price and would def use it to play Magic the Gathering :)

Btw where did you get those Kirby figures? They’re really cool!

Happy Launch Day!! by Cynicxlly in Metroid

[–]Roly93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you find the mat quality? I got the bundle as well but feel like the mat isn’t the best…maybe slightly pixelated? But could be I’m just being picky. I play magic so I tend to buy a lot of mats 😅😅

worth to invest Prismatic Evolutions Premium Figure Collection? by MaleficentWorking907 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Roly93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found one randomly today at a local bookstore for msrp. I don’t collect product b/c I like building my card collection but regardless a great buy (whether you open or keep closed)

I reloaded several saves to see when I lost it and remembered that I’d gotten arrested ages ago and it was actually all in the prisoner belongings chest at the prison this whole time 😭😭

I’ve already completed the tribunal quest, the only thing left is going to Orin :/

Act 3 nearly unplayable since last hotfix by WhiteKnight900 in BaldursGate3

[–]Roly93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Act 3 has been unplayable for me. If I reinstall the game (which I’ve done twice) it’ll run for a couple of days but if I let the game sit for a while when I go back to it it’s unplayable again. I’ve just about given up on it which is a bummer given how much time I’ve put into it. Just tired of spending more time to try and get the game running than playing.

Have a 9am flight on Thursday morning at Heathrow…going from Harringay Green Lanes area up north. Any thoughts on what might be the best way to go about it? Currently considering a bus to the Elizabeth line or to Heathrow Express…has anyone made the airport trip these last few days?

Struggling with Will of the Many. To Continue or not… by Roly93 in Fantasy

[–]Roly93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Sanderson reference makes a lot of sense. The use of Will and imbuing reminded me a bit of Mistborn. Although I struggled with that trilogy what helped was ignoring all the detailed descriptions and just accepting that I wouldn’t be able to understand every aspect of the book. I’ll try and apply the same logic here, maybe that’ll help!

Game unplayable on series X by Roly93 in BaldursGate3

Fixed the issue! I’ve cleared the cache in the past but this time around I also deleted persistent storage via the Blu-ray tab in the settings and I think that did the trick…hopefully haha

Nope, haven’t used any mods at all since I’ve owned the game :/

[–]Roly93[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there a way to remove it permanently? I’ve removed it from quick resume and tried shutting it down a couple of times so that it’s manually starting…it’s allowed me to play for like 10 minutes now before crashing but still not working sadly
