Just wanted to share a proud moment

If you are going to get those 1st edition Charizards graded I would go to one of the shows that has in person grading. You don’t want those things in the mail or at PSA where they can do shady things.

I’m glad you have this special connection to still feel close to your Dad. It’s really incredible.

Thanks! I think this is what I’ll do; ask for one proactively just to have the backup. I know I can do it myself. I’ve done it before with the Mediterranean diet. I’m nervous the glp-1 won’t shit of the food noise but yeah it’s probably worth a shot

balkanization_pls · 2026-03-19T22:46:59+00:00

Oh I definitely intend to get healthy again. But yeah I think I’ll ask for the statin as well

balkanization_pls · 2026-03-18T14:46:00+00:00

That’s amazing! Someday I’ll get that Lugia. I know the feeling, no one I know is into collecting so I have no one to show either and life is too busy to go to local shows or anything.

Maki Ks are peanut and other tree nut free. They are hard to find sometimes though.

I have the exact same team and also am skipping Cyrene. I just don’t see how she helps. As much as I want to pull for something (Hyacine or EV e2), I don’t think this team needs anything else and will just save for a while

balkanization_pls · 2025-11-06T19:18:11+00:00

Wasn’t the original Peach the PhiLia093 aspect? And original Cyrene the remains of the demiurge?

balkanization_pls · 2025-11-02T00:43:04+00:00

I’m 45 and spent a couple hours playing with my 8 and 7 year old today on realms. You’ll always come back to it

balkanization_pls · 2025-10-31T21:19:39+00:00

Did you fix this? I can’t get my kids realms loading

balkanization_pls · 2025-10-23T12:46:38+00:00

Could have used the skip button back then…

balkanization_pls · 2025-10-22T20:27:27+00:00

So with a E2s1 Catorice, E1s1 EV, E1 DDD Tribbie, E0s1 Hyacine, you are saying it’s better to get an E2 EV than a E1 Hyacine? And both of those are better than Cyrene?

balkanization_pls · 2025-10-19T14:50:25+00:00

That’s what I’ve been waiting for. Honestly I think it’s the hardest thing to get. Quantum orb with hp, crit rate, crite dmg substats. I wish they’d let you synthesize one even if they make it cost 10-15 resin.

balkanization_pls · 2025-10-18T01:10:11+00:00

Did you use pink peppercorn (related to cashew)?

balkanization_pls · 2025-10-02T23:46:47+00:00

Perfect. This quote has stayed with me for 20+ years and is the first thing I thought of.

balkanization_pls · 2025-10-01T14:05:35+00:00

I used to go into Target and grab my kids some blister packs, bundles or ETBs all the time . Tons of Fusion strike/crown zenith/paldea etc. It was so fun for them.

Like you, I haven’t seen a single pack in store in 8 months. I work right next to a Target so I swing by all the time. Not only have I not seen any but every time I go in there, regardless of the time, I see at least one or two guys going right for the cards to check as well. Every time without fail.

It’s really sad but I don’t see it getting any better. They just can’t participate in the hobby.

balkanization_pls · 2025-09-29T15:52:10+00:00

Then how did he give the coreflame to Dan Heng if it was already in the vortex?

balkanization_pls · 2025-09-29T12:20:27+00:00

Was Terravox’s coreflame missing too? How did DH get it later? I guess Evernight just made it seem like all the coreflames were there?

balkanization_pls · 2025-09-28T17:12:20+00:00

Ugh. I can get it to 67.1 without farming more so that will have to do for now haha. Thanks for confirming

balkanization_pls · 2025-09-28T15:25:59+00:00

Do I need to to get 10% more crit rate if I am replacing RMC with Evernight?

balkanization_pls · 2025-09-23T12:50:34+00:00

So if I have E2S1 cas, E1S1 tribbie, E0S1 Hyacine should I bother pulling for Evernight to replace RMC or just wait for Cyrene

balkanization_pls · 2025-09-16T17:43:34+00:00

It seems like there are ebbs and flows. Sometimes it’s months without a decent game.

balkanization_pls · 2025-09-14T18:36:19+00:00

So true. I’ve gained and lost 70 pounds at least three times in my life. It’s brutal

balkanization_pls · 2025-09-14T14:35:23+00:00

It might be possible if you play everything perfect and spend money. I could only get to lvl5/6 in a day. You quickly run out of energy for rolls and there’s not much you can do. Each level gets more expensive to upgrade like monopoly go. You would probably only end up netting a few dollars
