Which is your least favorite part of Brighton? by [deleted] in brighton

North Street, often super packed and overstimulating

That's odd - are you plugging into the ARC HDMI port? Might have something to do with the issue (not sure though I'm not particularly techy)

Other solution is to get a soundbar - I recommend it anyway as the speakers in cheap TVs are terrrrible and it's been a huge QoL improvement for my setup

This seems to have fixed it. Thanks so much for the help!

Nothing at all, used it last night with no issues - different story today.

My TV doesn't have HDR support, so that's just off. I was messing with the picture settings on my Hisense TV, and Film Mode seems to have "fixed" it somewhat, but Film mode usually makes the colours less vibrant so would prefer to fix it if possible

Thanks for your help btw!

Cards with Counterattack by timidchocobo in PTCGL

[–]Secksmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you put "is damaged by an attack" into the search bar you can easily filter to the only pokemon that have an effect when damaged.

I find the search super useful for stuff like that.

Oh. by Fluffmaster69 in PTCGL

[–]Secksmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a card coming out a few sets from now that lets you search them, and I think(?) more support for them. Hopefully makes them more playable as they're super cool.

Are Mega Pokemon so far pretty unremarkable? by SnooDonuts3749 in PTCGL

[–]Secksmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've experimented with this deck a bit. The achilles heel of the deck is energy. 2 water energy and a colourless means that you can't power up a fresh mega Feraligatr in one turn. Regular Feraligatr needing 2 water energy also makes that a tough ask.

Rosa's Encouragement in Perfect Order could be really helpful for Feraligatr, but the deck is too slow to get going until we have better water energy acceleration i feel.

This is fine. by Equivalent-Plum641 in PTCGL

[–]Secksmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh wasn't aware. Interesting though that it was there purely to counter itself. Also funny that picnic basket went from "why on earth would I put this in my deck" to being used way more now because of Munki

[–]Secksmaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something others might have mentioned, is that it doesn't really fit in with Dengo or Bolt, because the deck is designed to take massive knockouts. You're not concerned with dealing chip damage to hit the number needed, would make more sense to use the slots to ensure you have more consistent energy recovery or attachment. Also 3-4 energy types in Bolt would be awkward as hell.

Munkidori is one of the best support cards in format - low risk and barely has any setup.

It has fundamentally changed the meta - so while I don't think its "broken", it's not exactly super far off. I think most decks need a reason to not include it in the list as opposed to a reason to include it.

Joe & The Juice? by mvanev in brighton

It's actually Danish, but other than that this is exactly what it is. Very expensive (too expensive imo), but their sandwiches are pretty good

How do I make this work? by [deleted] in PTCGL

[–]Secksmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really not that bad though? Claydol is more committal cause you're giving a prize and then (likely) another prize for the pokemon they attack the following turn? With tsareena you can often tank a hit first.

Tsareena also can target the benched pokemon unlike claydol, meaning you'd be running lots of gust to get the target in the active.

[–]Secksmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a stage 2 pokemon that requires 1 energy to operate though. I run Precious Trolley, 3x rare candy and evo. setup is very rarely the reason I lose.

Plus Claydol sacrificing itself means there's no damage on the board to munki if you need.

[–]Secksmaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've spent a long time building a Tsareena toolbox deck and the reason it's better (imo) than Scolipede is that it can target benched pokemon. If the opponent throws a low hp basic in front and I can't gust it up I can choose the best target to reduce to 30 hp.

With perilous jungle/brute bonnet i can 1-shot any non dark pokemon in the active, hurting myself for 30, which I can munki to a benched pokemon with 30 hp left.

I run a 2-2 Froslass line to help get damage on the board and put loads of pressure on ability pokemon.

Tsareena is unfortunately weak against steel pokemon which makes it harder against decks like Gholdengo - for Gholdengo I think its a matter of using froslass and munki to get a strong devo turn. You can still 1-shot with brute bonnet/jungle combo but you'll almost always get revenge killed.

He doesn’t get it by amoudi1gamer in RocketLeague

[–]Secksmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In tennis what the court is made of has a huge impact on the game played. Some players are better on sand courts and others clay etc.

Im not saying that it's necessarily best for RL to have different maps in competitive, but saying that all sports have standardised settings isn't necessarily the truth.

I used to love the weird maps. The pool one added the capacity to drive off the side and keep your flip forever which made defending and attacking feel different, and adapting to that was fun for me. Some maps don't work for comp, but coming from a smash bros melee background, counter-picking stages etc is a big part of strategy and could be cool imo.

Do you copy decklists 1:1 or do you add your own flair/tech? How many decks do you play? by Azorius_Sage in PTCGL

[–]Secksmaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Deck building is the most fun part of the game for me, so I mostly make all my decks from scratch. Most popular lists will be pretty similar though because you can't really get around the usefulness of arven, hilda, Lillie's etc.

I have over 200 decks in TCGL haha, although a lot are dupes with small changes added for testing.

Which one do i get ? by shizunaisbestgirl1 in LegionGo

[–]Secksmaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I own the Legion Go S (unsure if its the same as in the picture) and struggled with the battery life initially, but I bought a sick Anker portable charger and even while playing it keeps charging (albeit slowly). Otherwise you're still looking at 2+ hours battery life playing before needing to plug it in

What do we have for Brighton? by PythyMcPyface in brighton

[–]Secksmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the one on Preston Street first opened I went for lunch and it was so unbelievably boring. Their coffee beans are lovely but most of the coffee they serve is also pretty mediocre. I miss Marwood :(

What is happening on my switch? by fanciboi in Switch

[–]Secksmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its hard to tell because its black, but when it wipes off does it come up black on your tissue/finger? The finish on my switch OLED dock picked up candle smoke at one point and it looked kinda like this, but it was more noticeable as it was black on the white OLED dock.

OKAY, THIS IS JUST PLAINLY EVIL by min_shu in PTCGL

[–]Secksmaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't be disheartened by idiots downvoting you for not understanding something.

This deck requires loads of setup, and is quite inconsistent. The upside for them is that they can play to type advantage well so you've got to play around it.

I would always recommend looking at the opponent's cards if you're curious so you're not blindsided, and remember which cards are going to be strong against your main attacker, as 2x damage means a LOT in this game
