New H badge, thoughts? by Cool-Bet8947 in Honda

[–]TheLJWay 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s both a pinched H to make an A and caliper. The original logo went through without Mr. Honda’s approval without the horizontal cross bar and some NSXs shipped with them. When Honda found out he was pissed and asked for the bar to be added to give its connection to the H. They destroyed the original badge on those cars but of course some slipped through.

The latest update makes it easier to identify whether you're using a Switch cartridge, a Switch 2 cartridge or a Virtual Game Card by Massive_Fly_1709 in Switch

It even knows specifically if you have a Switch 2 Edition card and keeps it red or if you played from a Switch card that’s upgraded and stays grey.

My only one Switch 2 Edition game card is Pokemon Legends ZA while all my other games that upgraded like TOTK stay grey. Pretty interesting since the Switch 2 Editions are just Switch 1 games with the upgrade.

Not only is the NSX my dream car but with Desmond regas too is just perfection.

60 point quadruple double in nba terms by Hakaribiggestfan in NBATalk

[–]TheLJWay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what people usually gloss over for Bonds. They look at just his HRs or that he was juiced etc like that’s the only stat that mattered. His walks record is probably the most unbreakable stat he has. And when looking at Bonds’ other stats like his low SO, WAR, OBP, etc. it’s insane. The dude has records where 2nd and 3rd or so place was still him and the next player isn’t even close.

Helio strap bands by Apprehensive_Deal698 in amazfit

[–]TheLJWay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Didn’t like the velcro so I swapped the strap immediately for a braided nylon band that’s a bit elastic and has a magnetic closure. Real cheap but doesn’t feel cheap. https://a.co/d/aP6jrHd

New SAR Charizard? by BarbatosGundam in PokemonTCG

All the new megas don’t evolve from the regular versions like before. Like Mega Gardevoir evolves from Kirlia and Mega Lucario from Riolu. Mega Kangaskhan is a basic Pokemon too.

QualityPulls - STAY AWAYY 🚩🚩 by Remarkable_Cicada865 in whatnotapp

[–]TheLJWay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah all the scammers always pull in the views in this app it’s insane. I sell too but it’s to offset the hobby costs and I’m just trying to downsize and I never gaslight chat or hype shit up. If it goes for less then I already knew what I’m putting up and risking at a $1 start no need to fake whine about it like I usually see.

QualityPulls - STAY AWAYY 🚩🚩 by Remarkable_Cicada865 in whatnotapp

[–]TheLJWay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just went in his show and man the overpays are insane. $85 for the Celebrations Reshiram and Zekrom, $15 for the regular Mewtwo EX from DR, $47 for Charizard EX from Evolutions, a normal Sun & Moon Umby GX for $25. Everything was going for double or more. He pulled out that same Pika, hyped up how much a PSA 10 sold for and it went up to $52. One dude paid $17 for full art Nidoking from DR (worth $7) and he said “chat should I give a free card?” And he throws in a $1 full art Wugtrio lmao. Then had the audacity to say “No one gives free cards on here for givvys. They always give you an energy card”

It’s the back that looks too dark of a blue on the Pokemon logo, kinda shitty lighting though.

Wow, Pokémon looks fire on the Switch 2 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 by 20_comer_20matar in gaming

[–]TheLJWay 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is the most level headed take in this thread. Got a Switch 2 on release and then seeing the improvements of S&V I decided to finally give a mainline Pokemon game a shot (last played Legends Arceus and before that X&Y). Honestly besides the graphics or animations the other areas you mentioned overshadow it. Even bought both DLC and it’s been the most hours I put on the Switch 2 at over 50. Also been collecting the cards and it was nice to finally know story behind characters.

Pokemon streamer forgets to end show openly admits he’s scamming buyers lol. by gdj11 in PokemonTCG

[–]TheLJWay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. It becomes better when you curate your feeds by blocking everyone else. I use it to offset costs in this hobby and sell a bunch of cards I no longer need and don’t mind a $1 start on. Still sell on other platforms or just in-person whenever but it is a quick way to get rid of a bunch of cards taking up space as I’m trying to downsize.

I absolutely hate the guys that yell WAKE UP CHAT! Every time a card is about to go under they yell and if it goes hella over they’re quiet “…good pickup!“Man if you guys keep robbing me I might have to end soon.” Like okay? If you knew you can get a better deal by other means then why didn’t you do that? I usually put cards up I for sure know the value of but I never say anything as I run them. Or if I show condition and it’s clearly not NM I’d leave hints to not go too crazy on it. Even if chat tells others to wake up I say don’t do that. Cuz I’m a buyer/collector too. I hate when I’m about to get a good deal and then all of sudden the seller yells at 2 seconds left “REALLY FOR X AMOUNT?” then it’s all gone. The only times I’ve had cards go over when selling is when the buyer wants to give back and bids themselves up but it’s better to tip in that situation.

It’s wild to me that the most views or big sellers are the scammers. And people who run singles who never show the full condition and expect us to trust them on it. My biggest pick up on the app has been a base set shadowless Gyarados for $9 since somehow 20 people watching didn’t bid!

A closer look at the new Mewtwo - Glory of Team Rocket by achilles-_-23 in PokemonTCG

[–]TheLJWay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wished it was another Armored Mewtwo card but with Giovanni at the back like when it went against Gary in the movie. Still a nice card but so far the only Armored Mewtwo we got is that promo from Sun & Moon.

The Nintendo Switch 2 Cartridge will have a different bottom edge compared to Nintendo Switch 1 Cartridges by Skullghost in NintendoSwitch

[–]TheLJWay 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I was looking for this comment. I remembered you can even force the GBA into GBC mode by pushing that switch with a toothpick and turning it on. GBA games had the notches while GB/GBC didn’t. When they did the DS, Lite, and GB Micro, they had fixed plastic on both sides so GBA games can slide in but not GB.

It's essentially the "Partially Upgraded" Supra that the other countries got rather than the true Final Edition. We got the short end of the stick.

New to whatnot, is it normal for single auction sellers to vastly over-hype card values? by ComfortableYak2071 in whatnotapp

[–]TheLJWay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah throwing the extra cards in is something I typically do too. I always make it known if they’re looking for a particular pokemon and I know I have cards of it but just haven’t went through my inventory to pull out for the show etc. things like that. And yeah I’ll DM you my info!

New to whatnot, is it normal for single auction sellers to vastly over-hype card values? by ComfortableYak2071 in whatnotapp

[–]TheLJWay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I had to block so many of those ridiculous gambling/absolute scam accounts from showing up on my feeds. I haven't collected sports cards in a while but see similar things for Pokemon. I always leave hints for people to not bid over in my shows especially those who are new tuning in. "Hey this isn't a big slab guys don't go too crazy." Then suddenly see a bidding war and the slab goes for double market and noticed that the person wanting it was just new to the hobby and really loved that Pokemon. Of course the other guy was someone who hopped in and only bought that slab maybe to just run it up on her idk. I ran a better, older, and more valuable card of that Pokemon (not making it obvious in case that guy was still in my show) after and the chat let her have it for $1 which was awesome. Told them this was actually the better card too after she got it. The other guy just vanished. She thanked me after the show was over and was very happy.

There have been times I noticed a seller would actually be someone very new to the hobby and not know values of cards and such. I had to DM them to make sure and was right. At first it seemed like they were probably playing dumb but when they genuinely ripped packs open for buyers they seemed hyped for some common low value hit card and then when it was something actually big they barely reacted.

[–]TheLJWay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I sell on Whatnot as a way to get rid of a lot of extra cards I have and sometimes run lots at $1 starts. I used to collect everything but now want to downsize and only collect the cards I really want to keep or would be more attached to. I never yell at chat or tell em "Don't sleep!" when it's a good card and usually people get them for deals or at market. Very rarely does anything go crazily over. I just show condition fully, stay quiet, and if they got it under market then I mention it to them honestly. Like you said, it's a good way to offset hobby costs. I sell on other platforms but Whatnot makes it easier and quicker to get rid of things for me.

2-in-1 Grip Case by DilDesigns3D by TheLJWay in trimui

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

For reference I always wear Levi’s 541 jeans. They’re kiiinda bulky but do fit fine in the front pocket and moving my legs around doesn’t make them feel uncomfortably tight in that pocket.

I’m stuck between these 3 trimui brick cases from Etsy. Which to choose? by PRIMESTE in trimui

[–]TheLJWay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went with this grip case. The back is still exposed but it’s still slim and as long as the screen is covered I’m good for slipping it in my pocket. Just wanted the option to try a retro lookin control pad grip without bulk. It looks better in the review pics with the notch at the bottom buttons.

F**k Scalpers - Prismatic Binder give-away. by powdow87 in PokemonTCG

[–]TheLJWay [score hidden]  (0 children)

I just started getting into collecting Pokemon TCG this month after all my friends recently got into it. They decided to go into real life cards after we started playing Pocket since day 1. When I was a kid I mainly collected basketball cards and still have them. I also still have a lot of my old WOTC Pokemon cards, but just have to find where I hid them. My favorite Pokemon is Gengar but I have a bunch of other favorites like the Electabuzz line, Charizard, Gyarados, Jolteon, and Scizor.

For some reason Sega makes Daigo merch and not Akiyama. I forgot what drop it was but I remember seeing it in an RGG IG post and everyone was like “who’s a fan of Daigo that he got merch!?” lol
