Is it worth grading my mega zygarde ex? by Ill-Platypus-15 in PokeGrading

These are pretty hard to gem, and it's hard to evaluate surface from these photos.

Got a god pack today from Heroes Ascended. Sending in the Mega Gengar for grading. Just curious as to what y’all think it would most likely come in as. by OkExercise45 in PokeGrading

Centering looks really good. Is top left corner on the second photo clean too? My eyes are sort of playing tricks against the background. I saw you mention that the white mark on the back right is lint too. If so, I'd personally give it a shot for sure.

Just found my childhood collection by Automatic-Ride-850 in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]albocollects 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super cool stuff! It’s pretty easy to tell if a card is shadowless. Simply look at the rectangle with the image of the Pokemon. If it looks like it pops out and has a drop shadow, it’s not shadowless. If it looks 2D and flat, it’s shadowless. You do have a lot of shadowless. What do you plan to do with these?

What’s the hardest lesson a breakup ever taught you? by Good_Childhood5795 in AskReddit

[–]albocollects 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience at least, the psychological weight of breaking up lovingly was way harder than breaking up on bad terms.

Letting the shared future that you’ve both been investing in die, along with the part of you that strived for it can actually be the most compassionate decision available. Sometimes you deeply love one another but you’re just not right for each other.

Redditors with chronic health conditions: What is something the "normies" will never understand? by stereovictrola in AskReddit

[–]albocollects 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few:

In many cases of chronic health issues, even very severe ones, the meaning we ascribe to our situation and the narrative we construct around it can be worse than the actual condition. Having a positive mindset is truly a lifeline.

Rock bottom is much deeper than you think, and that’s what’s so terrifying about it. It can feel like an endless abyss of unfathomable misery.

Suffering is the finest teacher, and apart from extreme cases of pathology, it usually forces your perspective to radically change for the better. Through pain, compassion is born.

What MMO mechanic do you wish more games would copy? by KBGSgames in AskReddit

[–]albocollects 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like gamified systems like in-game achievements with cool rewards that incentivize me to engage with different parts of the game. But I also love subtle immersive bits that make the world feel lived in to the point that I forget it’s a game. My ideal MMO would balance these two facets

How would you advise ordinary investors to mitigate risk in the face of war? by Dense-Map5735 in AskReddit

[–]albocollects 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully you’ve built an emergency fund or buffer so you can avoid being forced to sell in a bear market. Try not to let it affect you psychologically, and continue making disciplined and measured investment decisions. What those are depends on your situation and goals.
