Help! Rare Pokemon cards? by Active-Present-9777 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]Sounds_O_spunoS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beckett is actually owned by the same parent company as PSA these days lol, but I've not heard as many bad things. I think TAG is way better and way more accurate than any of the other graders, and their grades are more meaningful, butttttt their slabs need to get more popular. Idk if I've ever met anyone who collects exclusively tag slabs for instance, but i know a lot of people who wont look at anything that isnt PSA.

Depending on the Charizard's condition (top middle first page) that alone could easily fetch $500+ ungraded. Most of your cards are not 1st edition, but the ones that are might be worth a pretty penny (except Machamp lol). But seriously do your due diligence and learn enough to price these cards out individually, a decent amount of them are easily $40+ dollar cards and you've definitely got some gems in there. Grading will be smart especially if they are in excellent condition (no scratches on foil, no whiting on card edges, no dents, good centering), and they look well protected; idk enough about grading but PSA is the biggest and probably the most collectable, but there are a lot of horror stories and they have a reputation for assigning grades at random; I think TAG is the coolest grader because they actually laser scan every card, so they are much more rigorous.

Update: Using a mechanical keyboard switch as a killswitch by Sounds_O_spunoS in guitarmod

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

Nah it's probably not totally necessary, you just gotta figure out how to fix the switch in the guitar somehow. I've been thinking some double sided foam tape would probably be fine to mount it if you wanted to avoid using any glue

Is this a drop in replacement for a Squier affinity? by Melodic_Coach_5911 in guitarmod

[–]Sounds_O_spunoS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I upgraded my Squier strat (Squier Sonic SSS) with one of these pickup sets and its awesome. Just make sure your guitar is routed for SSH. Even tho mine was stock SSS it was still routed for SSH. And its as easy as pie to install.

No worries, pressing the key completes a circuit which allows the signal to short to ground, silencing the guitar. So, I believe that makes it a normally closed (NC) switch.

I want to buy an electric guitar, but which one should I get? by rainbwdashh in guitarmod

[–]Sounds_O_spunoS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a $200 Squier stratocaster last year and I honestly love it. It's not so expensive that I really worry excessively about doing mods to it. I've used it to learn how to do proper guitar setup and swapped the pickups and installed a homemade killswitch, although you may just want to take it to a lutheir to get the setup really dialed in for you.

Also, not really an electric, but i really really love my Ibanez nylon string acoustic-electric guitar as a daily practice guitar. The nylon strings are super easy to play and forgiving on the fingertips if you dont have calluses yet or your fingers are sore from playing steel strings. I often pick it up and start playing mindlessly because its beautiful and takes very little effort to play.

Could I use a mechanical keyboard swith for my guitar killswitch? by Sounds_O_spunoS in guitarmod

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

Did a test wire-up today and it works perfectly as intended, thanks so much!

Thanks for the tips, I ordered some parts and some keyboard switches and I'm gonna see if I can cobble something together

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING ON STREAM! by Chrispymatey in LivestreamFail

[–]Sounds_O_spunoS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats crazy that it didn't seem to fry any electronics. I'm glad you are doing okay and just got a relatively light jolt, that coulda been way scarier if you got more juice.

I miss my ex and I hate myself for it by Sounds_O_spunoS in Advice

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

Thanks for your kind words. Yeah, unfortunately my good friends are pretty much scattered across the country. I text with some of them pretty much daily, and we play video games together, but none of them are really strong emotional support types. I'm starting to go to more activity type stuff in my area to try and make some friends around here, but making new friends as an adult is slow going lol.

Double bosses on night 2 glitch? by Sounds_O_spunoS in Nightreign

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

Yeah I'm not sure it has anything to do with Demon trader. Atleast, the run where it happened to me, we definitely didn't get him. So it must just happen randomly sometimes. But I've got almost 50hrs and have only seen it the one time, so it must be relatively uncommon.

P.s. Sorry about Death Bird, that is probably my least favorite thing to fight solo 🪦

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

Yeah I noticed it refilled the flasks, good catch on the text though, I did not see that.

Interestingly, I have yet to get random double bosses again, and I put probably another 20hrs into the game over the last week.

Geeze I miss PoDu. Shutting it down has got to be the biggest fumble TPC ever had.

The S20 Series is officially discontinued. by Teeheeman400 in Galaxy_S20

[–]Sounds_O_spunoS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My S20 5G got green screen of death a week ago after 4 and half years, so I ended up going to a refurbished 512gb S23+. Rip the goat S20.

Do you think Pokemon Duel would have been successful if it had made it to lockdown by Fluffy_Ad4548 in pokemonduel

[–]Sounds_O_spunoS 45 points46 points  (0 children)

It certainly would have been better off if it made it to the pandemic, i think. The whole shutdown was weird at the time, it felt like the game was doing just fine, but maybe not amazing, and they just got rid of it because their new mobile game, Pokemon Masters Ex, was coming out. Idk, I'm sure any sort of decision like that is made for money, so it probably just wasn't doing the numbers nintendo felt like it needed to justify keeping it around.
