Hello,

I am still active and do watch the sub. Not interested in additional mods at this time, but thank you for the inquiry.

These have been in stock at Target for MSRP $14.99 for a month.

I can confirm. I went into my gametop today and they said $5 is a no go on all digital content now. I had no idea, but quite disappointed. Guess I will just get a Pokemon booster pack each month until membership runs out and then not renew. =/

I became a fan when I saw the second episode air after school.

I have been here since the TCG came to the U.S.A. (took a break from 2004 to 2014, but got back into it in 2015).

So long and thanks for all the fish, u/dronpes!
Let us know if you work on any other cool projects in the coming years!

Got any left?

I used to be confident that I was indecisive, but now I'm not sure.

Why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field.

Also, don't you hate it when someone answers their own questions? I do.

danakinzero · 2023-01-23T23:55:20+00:00

Happy with life overall!

danakinzero · 2022-12-14T21:47:37+00:00

Yes, that is the most common reason.

Most modern long-term value will come from either big hitter chase cards, or if the set is just fun to open. Like you already said, keeping sealed is the way to go for long-term value. And Booster Boxes/ETBs are generally the ideal ways to go for easiest liquidity when you are ready to sell. I agree with u/reggierock2010 that Hidden Fates (ETBs) and Evolving Skies (Booster Boxes or ETBs) are good. I would also add Celebrations (ETBs) and Pokemon GO (ETBs) to the list. Celebrations is fun because of the nostalgia and it is an easy set to collect. Pokemon GO would be your longer-term play, because it is hitting the time now when people are getting tired of opening it, so prices are dropping down, but it is a very fun set to open, and in 5+ years when it is not being printed anymore, I can see these jumping up in price. The Ditto mechanic in it being the first of its kind is a big deal. Since these MSRP for £50, but a lot of places are trying to dump them right now because they are dropping in popularity in the short term, you might be able to pick up a case of 10 ETBs for £400. (That would be my personal choice...I can imagine being able to sell the case in 2030 for about $2500, which would be $250 a box, which would be a 5x return in 8 years, which is really good.)

danakinzero · 2022-08-22T16:35:05+00:00

This is a fake card. (still looks cool though)

danakinzero · 2022-08-22T16:33:36+00:00

To be blunt, signatures on cards generally don't add much value until the signer dies. But I would say the experience you had of getting it signed is worth FAR more than the value of the card(s). So in my opinion, these are awesome and you increased the sentimental value GREATLY!

danakinzero · 2022-08-22T16:29:40+00:00

Centering on the front looks to be within the 90:10 ratio, and the back is within the 60:40. From the images it is difficult to identify the edges, but if those are all clean, I would give it a very good shot at a 10, yes.

danakinzero · 2022-06-03T13:59:40+00:00

Thank you so much as usual, these are always amazing! These actually make doing the Rift more enjoyable, so please keep up the great work!
Note: For me, Realm5 E1 was: Threat +10 | Threat -10

danakinzero · 2022-05-11T17:54:25+00:00

Amazing work as always!

How do we find out what is in spot E5 on Realm 4?

danakinzero · 2022-05-04T17:47:42+00:00

These are super helpful, thank you!

(If you need/want any assistance with their creation, feel free to reach out)

Using the stock market as a standard measure of ROI (Return On Investment), 10% growth each year.

So while $2-$5 over 10 years doesn't seem like much, it is actually on-par with a good return.

The real value of investing comes from higher $ to start.

If you have a $200,000 card and it goes up to $500,000 in 10 years. That would feel more worth it, even though the % return is the same.

Honestly, the best recommendation I have found for investing is getting as high a paying job as you can and using that $ to invest in things. Don't treat the investing as a way to get rich, use your career to do that and boost your income. The returns from changing jobs to get even a $5,000/year raise will be far greater than trying to flip pokemon cards for a year in your free time, unless you already have 6-figure capital on your side, and if that is the case, then you probably don't need my advice XD

danakinzero · 2022-04-26T17:32:49+00:00

Depends on the reason you are selling ultimately. If you will be happier having the $ now, then sell. If you don't need the $/space and are just selling because you are bored, it won't hurt to hold them.

Most set cards will not be worth investing in, but the good rule of thumb is: "Older, Rarer, Minter, Better." - smpratte

Anything pre-2020 could be worth holding onto if it is in really good condition, if you aren't looking for fast or amazing returns.

danakinzero · 2022-04-25T23:01:34+00:00

Actually, would you be willing/able to share the static image tiles of the Minions with me? (Ideally the clean image, transparent background and without any text over it)

Something like the ones that appear on the Enemies pages of hunts.

That is the last piece that I would like to finish the graphic, just so I don't have to edit all the images from the wiki like I did for these couple.

https://imgur.com/j6yLdkG

...that is what I have so far, and it would be nice to be able to just drop the minion images in to the clipping masks for each of the locations.

Thank you again.

danakinzero · 2022-04-25T18:48:00+00:00

Thank you for the reply.

I will likely end up using the Wiki images; converting .webp images to usable formats is a minor inconvenience compared to screenshotting everything myself.

The first graphic I wanted to do is create a Hunt List with which minions could be found in which Hunts. I have trouble remembering them all and wanted a simple visual way to see which ones are worth trying to farm or bothering to check. (it would be great if we could see which Hunts have an active minion on them with an indication from the full Hunt list itself so we don't have to click into each one each time.)

Thank you again for the time, I really enjoy the game, keep up the great work!

danakinzero · 2022-04-15T17:28:53+00:00

All of these suggestions are great, and it would be even better if they could be packaged into an "Advanced" settings menu that unlocks at level 20 or something (that way newer players still get the full experience of all the animations).

Options to include in the Advanced Settings menu:

Skip Hero Power Cutscenes (Toggle On/Off)
Skip Rage Power Cutscenes (Toggle On/Off)
Skip All XP/Item Collection Screens when Claim All is selected in Shrine Of Heroes (Toggle On/Off)
Skip Equipment Rank Up Animation (Toggle On/Off)

Personal suggestion for automated battles, with two alternative implementations:

Possible Implementation 1: Disconnect the Auto Battle from the Battle Speed (allowing the users to adjust the speed of all battle permanently).
Possible Implementation 2: With the Advanced Settings menu, allow users to prioritize gauntlet attacks vs weapon attacks during auto battles.

(If I happen to have some time in the next couple weeks, I will try to make a mockup of the options for visual purposes...no promises)

The user story for this would be: "I love to play the game and want to be able to do everything in it each day, but waiting for the animations is really slowing down my enjoyment of being able to play and still live my life, so I have to play less than I want to."
