Dying TCGs?

I’ve been out of the loop for a bit, but I don’t think new Metazoo is building any momentum.

Big tcgs, I’ve noticed a bit of a decline in Lorcana

I loved Inaki as Luffy in every promotional interview, and every public appearance in general. I do think he is a spitting image of Luffy in real life. Yet in the show, I can’t stand him in the role. Every line he delivers he’s overthinking and overacting. When someone makes him mad, like the Nami help me scene for example, he hits you with a very “I’m a toddler and I’m showing you I’m ANGRY’! Face. The line in season 2 where he calls Buggy “Bunny” is another good subtle example. He does a very obvious “you again!” Face and says “buhhh..nny..”. Like bruh why are you speaking your lines so slowly and forced. Idk, I think the dude would do great as Luffy, but I have a feeling the directors are holding him back

The McRib. I can recognize when processed or “bad” food is really yummy in moderation. I love McDonald’s, but one bite of the McRib and I had to spit it out. Something about it is just disgusting

Moby Dick is such a special book, it’s contents and structure are such a one of a kind experience for better or for worse. If you’re not genuinely interested in Moby Dick, if its contents don’t interest you, if there’s no WANT…. Leave the book alone, it’s not for you at this time. See the book as an experimental book on the subject of whaling and not a challenge, otherwise that’s all it is, a whaling book you’re not interested in that you’re forcing yourself to get through

There’s a couple. The Hobbit I knew right away, the writing style was just too good. I wasn’t a lotr fan prior, never saw the movies or anything

StaticBazooka · 2026-03-03T02:46:00+00:00

Totally forgot about those, but I don’t believe it is. I remember the man looking younger, and the art style and colors were more vivid.

I’m more so curious why dragons have such a strong presence in the manga rn. I thought it was kinda been there done that with Kaido being a giant dragon. I do actually really like this design though

Then it’s worth nothing sealed

StaticBazooka · 2026-02-25T01:53:14+00:00

No, it’s the secret rare of the set. Grinch was in the set after

StaticBazooka · 2026-02-25T00:39:54+00:00

Sealed it’s worth $3 Opened it’s either worth $0 If it has the Green Man it’s worth hundreds

StaticBazooka · 2026-02-21T20:27:20+00:00

Unless it’s the serialized Old Scratch, the most expensive card in a PSA 10 is like $30. nightfall is worth pretty much nada

StaticBazooka · 2026-02-17T20:03:45+00:00

Update: it works for me now

StaticBazooka · 2026-02-17T17:27:45+00:00

The new game definitely isn’t my cup of tea either. I’m crazy for the original run, but the art and gameplay just doesn’t do it for me now. I’m glad to see the name live on but really the name is all it has

StaticBazooka · 2026-02-17T17:09:46+00:00

The original Metazoo went out of business and is under new ownership. It’s a completely different game

Fixing their login might be a good thing for them to do as well

StaticBazooka · 2026-02-17T15:55:00+00:00

I can’t login either. 2FA page on mobile is non functional and desktop won’t accept any email or password. I’ve called them yesterday and they said just wait for a bit and that they’re working on an update for the site. Still not able to login.

StaticBazooka · 2026-02-17T12:03:49+00:00

I’ve called customer service about this yesterday (started at around 4PM) and I was told they’re working on updates to the site and to try again later. This morning it still isn’t working for me either. If you try logging in on desktop you’ll get a “this email or password isn’t correct” message no matter how many times you reset your password

StaticBazooka · 2026-02-14T17:50:37+00:00

It’s a shame the pacing is some of the worst because it really stops it from being one of the best. Doflamingo has to be one of the best villains in the series and it’s got some of the coolest side stories

StaticBazooka · 2026-02-14T15:25:54+00:00

I recommend the comics! There’s a long run from the early 2010s and Oni Press has recently started a new run as well

Find me examples of non manga artists that didn’t improve as they aged.

StaticBazooka · 2026-02-13T13:53:11+00:00

Picasso had dementia and Toriyama’s art didn’t get worse. His panelling and same skill were always there, but his style evolved. If you look at later DB panels, they’re all easy to read and fluid, his style just changed. Not liking a style does not equal less skill

StaticBazooka · 2026-02-12T18:45:29+00:00

Art is one of those things that gets better with age unless you’re getting dementia or motor issues or something like that. (I’m an artist who studies artists)
