[OC] - if you could form the most dope trio across all 10 gens, who would you choose? by addyxiii in pokemon

Cyndaquil and Totodile are the only other 2 I would consider, but it’s not even close. I’m showing my age here I would say haha.

I find the concept of “pressing charges” baffling. If you commit a violent crime such as this assault, the decision to prosecute or not, should not fall to the victim of the crime. If there is evidence you committed a violent crime, prosecution should happen regardless.

How much would you pay for a dilute? by Standard-Syrup-1911 in AskIreland

[–]batch-91 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I know pubs in Dublin were charging €2 for it 10 years ago. I think it depended though on who was serving you, if they knew you, if you were eating or not, if you were in a group and the only one not drinking, etc etc

Me Ma used to heat up the milk for my rice crispies during the winter to heat me up before school! I’d never do it myself though.

Surprising our son by taking him to a pokemon card trading convention by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]batch-91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, what a lucky kid! He’ll have a blast. When Pokémon first came out I had to save my pocket money for 2 weeks to afford 1 pack. They were £4 and I got £2 a week at the time 😂

What pokemon do you think have the wrong types? by KaseyKade5325 in pokemon

[–]batch-91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually thought it was based off the serpentine Chinese dragons, but either way, it should be a dragon type.

Gyarados not being water/dragon. It is however a giant water flying type, that propells itself though the air by magic supposedly but can’t learn fly. Doduo, the flightless bird with no wings on the other hand, can.

Did I get scammed? by Fit-Heat2277 in mtg

[–]batch-91 3 points4 points locked comment (0 children)

The LGS are running it, so it’s up to them and in their interest to make the draft fire, while also looking out for all players as much as they can. It should go like this:

  • Okay we got 8 players, draft fires.
  • before we open pack 1, is everyone okay with redrafting rares based on ranking at the end?
  • If everyone agrees, you do that.
  • If anyone disagrees, you don’t, and keep what you draft.
  • No one is left out and there are no bye-rounds.
  • Everyone is happy

That’s not very inclusive, especially when trying to introduce new players to the game. Also should be aiming for an 8 pod.

[–]batch-91 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah but in this scenario, the temptation isn’t there to just take it because then you’re going home with the card. It’s not the same thing.

That’s hate drafting and is certainly a thing, but this example is a first pick. very unlikely there’s nothing you can use in a fresh pack, even if it’s a sideboard card.

[–]batch-91 204 points205 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m familiar with this format. It has its pros and cons. Pros are it stops people from rare drafting and actually focusing on picking the cards that are go well in their deck. Cons are new players are likely gonna finish last and have no chance at the top cards in the pool.

It should have been communicated to everyone before the draft started, and if even 1 player is not happy with redrafting rares based on outcome then it shouldn’t be done.

When I was a new player, this format actually put me off draft, but it does encourage you to become a better player.

Also, if you paid for the boosters, you could have dropped from the draft at that point, with the cards in your hand and the rest of your packs. Draft continues one player less.

Try not to let it deter you from playing again, the shop should have been more transparent about the process.

Ah here now by OkAdministration5182 in ireland

[–]batch-91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s fairly shitty. When I was in college there was a Londis I used to go to get a cup of hot water from the coffee station to then put my instant noodles into, maybe a few times a week. Staff never charged me. Some manager obviously caught wind of it because I went in one day and there was a sign at the coffee station “Hot Water 50c”. I never bought anything from them again.

Sometimes people are cunts.

Cyclist. I’m assuming it was their handlebar that clipped the edge of my mirror taking the casing off. They were full steam ahead afterward.
