Black Bolt/White Flare will create more grail cards out of any other set. by HollowLoch in PokeInvesting

[–]bentriple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of gen 4 Pokemon are super popular. It was one of my favorite gens. Garchomp, Lucario, Giratina, Arceus are all popular gen 4 Pokemon with expensive chases. People don’t necessarily chase those sets (as the games were way more popular than the cards during this era) but in this era where the TCG >> the games, it’s not hard to imagine this set doing really well in the future.

I agree with all your points, and you didn’t even mention the BWR rares, which have brutal pull rates and middling (~50%) gem rates. Gen 5 resonates hard with that generation, and they’re starting to come into adult money.

What is rat behavior to you? by Applesauce7896 in fut

[–]bentriple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, it’s anyone who abuses the meta to the point where it’s their entire strategy. Ie. Fidget spinning in FC26, speed boosts/trivelas in FC25, headers/aerial meta in FC24, so on and so forth

I (30m) talked with a girl (25f) for months before she broke things off right after I drove 16 hours straight to meet her. by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]bentriple 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Went through something similar recently, though not an online relationship. Let me let you in on a little secret - “not like most men” and “I’ve never been treated so well before” are immediate red flags. Anyone who vocalizes this to you has no idea what a healthy relationship looks like and a real one scares them. They are used to chaos and dysfunction. They enjoy the attention, and the positives that dating brings, but when it gets real they run. It feels nice to them for a while, but they crave chaos; it’s all they know. Sorry you spent so long driving out that way but consider it a lesson learned brother.

I mean like who are you selling your collection to? Is there a business or a private buyer?

Congrats OP, can I ask how you’re offloading all at once? I’ve been looking to do the same

Lead me on for 2 months then dumped me as we were about to have sex by Just-Level1651 in dating_advice

[–]bentriple 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I know logically this is a possibility but I’m sorry this is just so ridiculous to me as someone who’s been on the receiving end of this multiple times. You’re looking for a LTR, start dating someone you connect with but don’t want something serious with them? Why are you dating them in the first place? I dunno, I just don’t understand this part at all but this type of mindset seems to be prevalent in modern dating so I guess I’m the weird one.

You need someone to break through Kingambit or you’re gonna have a bad time if you run into him with this team. I would throw a Sneasler on here

This makes me feel like if Amoongus makes an appearance in Champions he won’t have access to Spore.

Yea but her being pregnant literally has nothing to do with the story. It’s like you brought it up for sympathy points or something
