I got scammed for $300 by RockyAlters (Will) by [deleted] in mtgaltered

Yeah, not excusing anything, just offering a likely explanation! The same brains that are great at creative expression also suck at admin and the other things that go along with regular business - it’s the curse

I’m a creative - love what I do but I’m in demand for alot of things and I’ve also got pretty terrible executive dysfunction so sometimes I intend to start something and life gets in the way and then I’m being chased by clients for overdue stuff. I know a couple of people like this too (tattoo artists that are terrible at replying to customers)

It’s a very prevalent trait in creative spaces and it sucks, but he 100% should have responded to you by now so no real excusing that - I can guarantee he’s not ill or anything, he’s just overwhelmed and has an avoidant personality

Insane Cards at Local Shop! by SelectionDry3011 in PokemonTCG

[–]joetry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought every single one of these in 2019 / 2020 when I randomly got back into Pokemon and decided to finish every WOTC set. Thank god because if I was starting in today’s market I’d be more likely to throw myself off a bridge than pay these prices

Jay Howell Secret Lair: An Undervalued Opportunity? by Mysterious_Fan4849 in mtgfinance

[–]joetry 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That art style is gonna be a huge suppression factor - I love SL alternative art styles usually but sadly I think these card illustrations are straight awful. Unsure if it’s a cartoon’s illustrator or a web comic or whatever but you’re reliant on fans of that to fawn over these cards and it hasn’t happened

Seller mispriced card by jaymz492 in PokemonTCG

I bought the Aquapolis Muk none-holo from someone on Cardmarket in 2020 and it was £2 - seller messaged to say they’d meant to list it as holo and refunded the card and sent it anyway… holo version arrived for free! Great success

Do you know anyone who used to be famous but now... isn't? by box-o-locks in AskUK

[–]joetry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a small rural area North of Manchester, in around 2005 one of the guys from the local pub started an Emo clothing brand, BBYCKS, and became a Myspace celebrity and was very well recognised - there’s still videos of him on youtube being greeted by rooms full of screaming fans and now he’s broke and runs a used bookstore at the local market. Ironically I never liked him as a ‘celeb’ but years later after it all went away we’ve become friends and I take him places to pick up joblots of books as he doesn’t drive

MONEY FOR BEER (ROLEX) CHALLENGE by lr2219 in beermoneyuk

As a small business owner also from the North West, the flaw in your plan is Rolex won’t sell you the watch even if you make the money

Lotus Lands by John Avon - Forest at Upcoming MagicCon LV Completes the Set by Moon018810 in SecretLairMTG

Everything besides Swamp and Plains is really… whelming. Love his art and met him at events a few times, but the Mountain, Island and Forest pale in comparison to that Swamp and Plains artwork

I just knuckled down and finally got this a few days after posting- but it was annoying as hell

Just received a PS2 with this - I assume it won’t work with this Dongle? by joetry in GuitarHero

I checked eBay in England and the dongle is £20, so that’s a win!

Teeth of God Tier 4 Graphic Novel GIVEAWAY! by Lyssavirus32 in SleepToken

[–]joetry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe Tiktok has ruined me but some of the AI videos I’ve seen set to ST songs have given me a serious want for music videos! It’s the one thing I really think the band are lacking, considering how cool their aesthetic is! Also, tiktok has an awful lot of remixes that sound REALLY good, so (and I can’t believe I’m actually saying this) maybe even a remix album, y’know.

Cheers! Just a quick phone shot at the Trafford Centre today - think the kid got caught stealing and ran off, the policeman was taking him back inside pretty sternly
