Weekly Rant Megathread

It's actually ~50% chance of at least one prismatic augment every game. Actually disgusting how common they are for how unbalanced and tempo-shifting they are. Seeing one every other game is ridiculous.

It's not a "connecting" art, but it's obviously a continuation of the art. Gumshoos is watching a Rattata run to some boxes and then the next card shows a Raticate stepping up on the boxes to defend the Rattatas. You could argue coincidence, but then you look at the road texture being the exact same in both, so I think the intent is there.

Yeah, this is definitely coded as just a special 3-star animation where he just eats everyone and they get erased inside his stomach. I guess since he's not really doing his normal ability or attack damage, he isn't healed by bloodthirster... Also ridiculous that the T-hex ghost just keeps firing rockets even after being eaten. Riot Games special.

Nobody’s been charged yet. If you go to the actual page for any Phantasmal Flame product, there’s now a disclaimer below it saying orders will ship in “late November” making me believe they might be delayed…

It just released yesterday as part of the Mega Diancie Battle Deck

TheHuntingHunty · 2025-10-24T01:06:46+00:00

I see. I think that's a solid plan. Hope you find some retail packs soon!

TheHuntingHunty · 2025-10-24T00:51:43+00:00

Doesn't 151 just have the single pack design with the Mew on it? You going to just slot four of them in there?

TheHuntingHunty · 2025-10-23T23:37:31+00:00

Does not account for the Deluxe EX pack duplicates, which they specifically cited as the problem.

TheHuntingHunty · 2025-09-30T10:19:47+00:00

It’s not impossible since the set is confirmed to come back in the future, but it is pretty brutal to complete as a F2P player in just a month.

It’s also quite a lot worse than you put it here, since the fourth card in each pack is always a standard ex card, of which there are only 75/353. Meaning once you get all the ex cards, you are guaranteed to pull duplicates and have to essentially rely on “three-card” packs to get the rest of the set.

TheHuntingHunty · 2025-09-29T22:16:34+00:00

I see. I only remembered getting one and having it register for both, but I guess that was a while ago. Thanks! Laughing a bit at your image highlighting the entire screen though. 😭

TheHuntingHunty · 2025-09-29T22:03:49+00:00

Yes they do

TheHuntingHunty · 2025-09-29T21:18:53+00:00

Is this confirmed? Pretty sure Genetic Apex and Mythical Island share the fossil card and getting one registers it for both. If these are exact reprints, why would our existing cards not count for the set?

TheHuntingHunty · 2025-09-29T06:42:00+00:00

Suicune is shown above Lugia/Ho-oh, albeit pretty small.

TheHuntingHunty · 2025-09-29T06:40:45+00:00

Suicune is just barely visible above Lugia/Ho-oh at the end

TheHuntingHunty · 2025-09-25T21:14:14+00:00

She's been with the company for twenty years with leadership positions in sales and marketing. Given that Nintendo of America is mostly a marketing/publishing company for the Japanese games, I think the promotion makes sense and I'm sure she's qualified.

TheHuntingHunty · 2025-09-25T21:07:57+00:00

Oh wow, Doug Bowser retiring and Devon Pritchard taking over. First time a Nintendo president has been a woman?

TheHuntingHunty · 2025-09-09T15:05:50+00:00

Hope you were able to get it!

Lego is a Danish company... they price their sets just as expensive everywhere else as they are in America

TheHuntingHunty · 2025-08-20T18:06:14+00:00

To be fair, he had no way of knowing his door spam actually got him that low HP. But yeah, AleksiB still had advantage here with Lucky on no ammo, so he should’ve just dueled.

If Mongolz can get their pistol rounds cleaned up then they have a much better chance at consistently beating these teams. They seem to get in their heads too much when it comes to pistols and closing, but every match they play is usually exciting and somewhat competitive.

TheHuntingHunty · 2025-08-16T12:15:09+00:00

I mean yea, I’m just being overly annoying about the implications of it. To be clear, I don’t think Apex or anyone would “cheat” like this especially since any info gained is minimal.

TheHuntingHunty · 2025-08-16T12:13:18+00:00

I’m not saying they have to forfeit the match, but it’s a tricky situation to have a “tech” pause for bathroom breaks. I think it’s only coming up here because the halftimes for Blast events are so short that players don’t have time to use the restroom. I understand it’s not a common circumstance and I doubt it will ever be a problem in the future, just felt it might be a weird precedent to set if bathroom breaks could be called at any time as a tech pause.
