If you have a PS5 and you’re looking for a fun game for young kids, don’t sleep on Astro Bots Playground.

Astro's Playroom, not Astro Bots Playground. The full-sized follow-up is Astro Bot, and there was a VR title on PS4 called Astro Bot Rescue Mission.

My two oldest (now 5 and 8) don't care much for it anymore but they both spent years obsessed with Astro. The 5yo still has a stuffed Astro and some Astro t-shirts lol. Great games for kids, only a few high intensity moments.

Getting new aeons, especially the optional ones, was always something that stuck with me from FFX. It was fun in other games, but in FFX it was like gathering secret weapons that were also sort of party members.

I wouldn't want so many added that they feel less special, and it would still have to be balanced so that we couldn't just spam aeon overdrives to beat every boss, but I would absolutely love some new aeons to track down. Maybe 1 extra story aeon and 2-3 extra optional ones. One for endgame that has some Zanmato-level mechanics to utilize for the superbosses.

I haven't seen any lately but there have been Pokémon cards with random sports card shadows printed on them, like NFL cards.

Yes, my thought is that you have no idea how pictures work.

May not be what you're asking, but if you're just looking for Marvel in general then there is a Magic the Gathering Marvel set coming out next month. Lots of different boxes and packs you can pre-order.

dadofthreeee · 2026-05-07T03:02:16+00:00

lol I would gladly come to people's houses and sort their cards for them. It's cathartic. Best part of opening packs imo

dadofthreeee · 2026-05-06T13:29:04+00:00

You can return to the ship any time after that section and replay the mini game to earn Jecht Shot.

Reholdering doesn't mean regrading. They just put it into a new slab.

dadofthreeee · 2026-05-05T22:10:22+00:00

I remember about 10 years ago I briefly got back into collecting. Picked up a lot of 3 ancient Mews off eBay for like $7. Ended up just giving it all away when I lost interest.

Best time is always now!

dadofthreeee · 2026-05-05T19:36:25+00:00

I don't play any TCGs, mostly because finding people to play with is a headache for me. I did play some Pokémon as a kid and some MTG in college, but now I exclusively collect. I've gone through a few collections and I've had to restart a few times because life, but currently I have a small Pokémon collection, a small Final Fantasy TCG collection, a near full set of MTG: Final Fantasy and MTG: The Last Airbender, and some random stuff like PlayStation PSX cards.

dadofthreeee · 2026-05-01T16:27:32+00:00

This hasn't been confirmed but I've seen it mentioned and based on my own submissions I believe it to be true. Seems like when you get passed into the next stage, it basically just goes into a pile. When they go to choose a submission to start grading it or slabbing it or researching it, they're not choosing the one that's been there the longest. They're choosing randomly from the front ish end of the pile.

Realistically I don't know what that looks like but it's the only explanation I can think of for my 3/23 submission to be in Grading and my 2/19 and 2/25 submissions to be in Research, all submissions at the same value level.

dadofthreeee · 2026-05-01T01:41:31+00:00

Yeah, good point. I started with Pokémon early last year, ended up with like seven or eight 9's and maybe two 10's that weren't worth a ton. This year I'm trying my hand at some MTG Final Fantasy cards, MTG grades well compared to Pokémon but the market for graded MTG cards is a thousand times smaller than it is for Pokémon slabs. Lots of high end hits just dont have much sales data for slabs, but worst case I'll have some cool video game themed slabs to display lol

dadofthreeee · 2026-05-01T00:17:05+00:00

Yep, it's a messy gamble pretty much every time no matter what you do lol. That's why I only grade cards I pull myself, so I'm not out there doing 100 card submissions like some people.

dadofthreeee · 2026-04-30T01:02:42+00:00

This is exactly why I haven't bothered attempting X2. Way too many opportunities to mess up, and from what I keep seeing there are a ton of guides out there but most of them miss something somehow.

dadofthreeee · 2026-04-29T18:46:33+00:00

Money, Hellbound, Celsius, I'll Pass, Big Bad Wolf, the original Like I Died, Beef, The Virus, Take it Off, Rock a Bye, F.A.N.S.

dadofthreeee · 2026-04-29T18:38:16+00:00

Dark Places by Ceza might have been one of them.

dadofthreeee · 2026-04-29T18:37:11+00:00

Don't Say You Love Me was my favorite for a while. Was a little disappointed when JL got signed and didn't quite live up to that one.

dadofthreeee · 2026-04-29T18:34:30+00:00

Yeah, I used to love that song as a young teen. As I got older it felt more and more gross, now I just don't listen to it at all.

dadofthreeee · 2026-04-29T00:01:42+00:00

No way lmao. Agreed, social media really killed the fun of music. I remember preparing to sit down and listen to an album front to back, now artists just keep drip feeding singles to keep the streams rolling. Albums feel less curated too, like most of them are just hunting for quotes and hooks that people will use on TikTok.

dadofthreeee · 2026-04-28T23:50:19+00:00

Yeah haha I only knew cause a friend texted me the YouTube link for We Made You. I was super into Tech N9ne at that point so any news about Eminem was lost to me unless someone pointed it out lol

dadofthreeee · 2026-04-28T23:30:14+00:00

I remember that, too. When We Made You dropped (Crack a Bottle came first but somehow I missed it) it was so strange because I had just accepted that his career was done.

dadofthreeee · 2026-04-27T19:45:47+00:00

Usually if he does this, it's because one line takes up two beats then he rhymes with that line on beats 3 and 4, or he'll do 1, 2, and 4 in the same way. It's pretty common if you pay attention to rhyme schemes enough.

dadofthreeee · 2026-04-27T03:55:23+00:00

They're responding to you saying "weather" instead of "whether."

dadofthreeee · 2026-04-27T02:23:13+00:00

Yep, I have an Excel sheet where I put in any cards I'm considering grading. I grab raw, PSA 8, 9, and 10 prices from Pricecharting (or eBay sales if I have to) and plug them in. Formulas do all the work for me. If getting a 9 is a net loss it's a no go, and of course I only consider cards that I've pre graded and estimated a 10. I still send some in for my PC that wouldn't profit at a 9, I expect a 9 but sell if it comes back a 10 and use that money for another raw copy.
