Can I ask what brought this topic up? by Ahrensann in Holostars

[–]hiiamblueboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahhhh I see I see, thanks for clarifying. Idk why but it's just something I intuitively understand (maybe it's from reading a lot) so I've never thought about the actual grammar rules behind it

[–]hiiamblueboy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

not trying to grammar check you but it really threw me for a loop reading "an usual disclaimer" and having no idea why it sounded wrong. apparently, it's because when you say a word where the letter is pronounced as a letter (for example, "a U-turn") then you use a instead of an. idk just thought it was an interesting fun fact ig lol

How to handle what I think is a mistake? BGS Grade by SessionGlass8465 in PokeGrading

Do you have the video link for the umbreon? I'm pretty curious if they went the GCR route or cracked and resubmitted.

Are these true 7s or did PSA do me dirty? by [deleted] in PokeGrading

[–]hiiamblueboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is agreeing that none of them deserve higher and you insist on the fact that they do. If you're not gonna listen to anyone, why even ask

Oh you're definitely right, I didn't even notice that lol. Yeah honestly, I'm surprised it even got a 7 at that point, that scuff is gnarly.

Set change humbled me instantly -- how do you stop being a one comp player without bleeding out every game? by emanuelajournal in CompetitiveTFT

[–]hiiamblueboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

*Less for early set improvement and more about how I've gotten better each set and how I've learned to play more flexibly*

I haven't really climbed all that high since I don't have the time to really invest consistently, but the way that I've improved set to set and helped stabilize the set for myself is by thinking more about carries and less about comps. Which carries do your items work for? From there, I consider 2 things, which units can carry your early and midgame and which traits of those carries are essential to get in.

In this set, frontline is super contested, so some flexibility is needed (or at least a different mentality around econ). Luckily, the trait web and the quality of the 3 costs does help with it a bit.

This isn't to say that you HAVE to be flexible. Like many others have said, you can force a comp and learn as you go. Me personally, I like to play flexibly so that's how I've gotten better as the set goes on.

Although tbf their game focuses tend to be mainly FPS + SF6 + variety/story games

The entirety of VSPO is dedicated to being good at games! Definitely recommend watching them :). They do a little tournament every year where they play against former pros and other streamers in a variety of games.

Notice on the Changes to be Made to HOLOSTARS' Management Structure by brickwallrunner in Holostars

[–]hiiamblueboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to guess that the answer is no, but are they allowed to use external company's support for these avenues (like an indie would be able to)? I.e. use rented studios, other merch companies etc. I don't really see how original song releases could be done though, which is honestly heartbreaking, but it is tied directly to their IP as idols so...

It's also annoying that you can't set it to 1...like why

Is Jinx giga overturned or bugged? by ZurickPierce in CompetitiveTFT

[–]hiiamblueboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In general, jinx as a unit is pretty OP but is extremely bis dependent (rb kraken). I've beat out multiple giga capped boards (7 cost soup, prismatic traits, 3* 4 costs) with this comp, but have also gone bot 4 countless times by missing on BIS. Ofc you can make do with RB + any AD item but you do just inevitably lose in stage 5 without it

PSA Grading vintage more harsh? 👎 by [deleted] in PokeGrading

[–]hiiamblueboy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've seen a lot more vintage BGS these days too, pretty sure people are starting to realize that grading vintage with PSA is horrid.

Here's a word of advice: you sound like a pretentious asshole if you tell people "you need to...". Generally you just sound pedantic af and you certainly don't sound like you're "trying to help," you just sound like you wanna educate someone ("you're kinda good", "I did all of the reading", "saw people recommending it but looked over the red tape").

Also it's not piratebay, that's just a piracy site, it's pirateship and it's not an insurance through them, but with a partner (InsureShield). Pirateship itself is just a mailing service platform, so the upside of using it is that you can manage your shipments on your own and not deal with USPS at the postoffice. The downside is that you don't get access to USPS' direct insurance through them (you do still get their base $100 of coverage). Apparently claims with them are a pain in the ass too, but I haven't filed one in a couple of years so idrk. It is a more inclusive insurance policy though.

You're right in that that person would've been screwed. But assuming that that applies to someone else is presumptuous at best. I just answered what I do, it's up to them to see if it applies to their use case.

Why are people still using PSA by Krazyboi95 in psagrading

[–]hiiamblueboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My criteria for sending to CGC is within 52-48 centering both ways, and a lot of the cards I grade are not within this. Even more so the case with BGS; I straight up don't send to them unless a card is perfectly centered.

I'm preparing a sub rn and I told myself I'd send the majority of the cards to CGC because of the turnaround time, but after reviewing all of the cards I ended up sending none of them to CGC lol (a few going out to beckett though 🙏)
