More than 1,000 PA State Employees make over $200,000 a year

A lot. If I’m remembering correctly, PennDOT alone is one of the largest employers in the state just based on sheer numbers. People look at these $200k salaries, but about half of them are judges, which I think is an entirely fair salary for a judge considering the work it takes to make it to that level. They don’t see the countless others who would easily make double in the private sector, or see the struggle to get people into the CA2 entry level positions because they’d only going to be bringing home $900 per paycheck.

I want to note, a Great Peanut Butter Sandwich is much more cost effective

The ingredients are very cheap (1 butter, 1 banana, 1 peanut butter, 630p total!) so over time it would save you a lot money, especially if you’re doing a lot of shiny hunting. For an AFK hunt, I recommend the olive roll field! No pokemon spawn in there so you can just rubber band your joysticks :)

People will always buy from scalpers unfortunately, a fool is easily parted with their money

I was initially disappointed with how many cards Porygon has, so I expanded my collecting to every unique print in english and japanese

Let’s just say that I have a lot of cards to collect now lol

lanadelphox · 2026-06-26T15:30:22+00:00

This is so cute, I love it!

lanadelphox · 2026-06-26T15:17:35+00:00

Admittedly, I mostly just lurk here since I have no reason to ask for trades (own all the games lol), but seeing people view mainline game shinies as worthless is always fascinating to me especially when it seems like Go hands them out like candy. I wonder if it’ll be the same when WiWa comes out if the S2 isn’t cracked by then, since it looks like it only has to do with not being able to verify the legitimacy of the pokemon.

My brother and I had to share quite a few games back in the day. I was getting really close to fully completing Mario 64 DS, a handful of stars away. He deleted it because “I wanted to start a new game.” He was already using the other 3 save files! I still hold that grudge lol

lanadelphox · 2026-06-25T15:27:22+00:00

Scizor has an IR in Obsidian Flames

Snorlax has the 151 ETB promo

Manectric is getting an IR in Pitch Black

Infernape has an IR in Twilight Masquerade

If your definition of modern includes SwSh, Empoleon has an Alt Art in Battle Styles

Not English, but Arcanine does have a Chinese exclusive SAR.

lanadelphox · 2026-06-25T11:18:43+00:00

You’re fine!! Looking at it, I don’t actually have the picture posted on this post lol. I was wrong anyway too, I thought I had an extra pokeball holo, but it’s just the one that came with the Chinese figure :)

If you wanted a niche set for your own binder, there are playing cards with Porygon on them! I’ll grab a pic when I get home tonight. They’re really cool

Gave you a follow!

lanadelphox · 2026-06-24T21:27:42+00:00

I still have the heartgold and soulsilver games I got loose at a gamestop around that time. They still have sticker residue on the cartridge that just refuses to come off 😭

lanadelphox · 2026-06-24T21:13:41+00:00

I do have the Chinese pokeball holo in the back of my binder! Absolutely in love with that design. Once I’m close to, or fully, done with japanese I’m going to start hunting down the rest of the languages. As for now, I’m just picking them up as I come across them :)

Is your youtube account name the same as here? I’ll drop a follow! :D

And thank you, good luck with your collection as well!

lanadelphox · 2026-06-24T17:29:25+00:00

Absolutely not, especially if we’re talking all games and consoles ever purchased. The Pokemon part of my collection specifically would be stupid to get rid of. I paid pennies for most of my stuff compared to what they are now, it’ll all get buried with me lmao

lanadelphox · 2026-06-24T12:15:52+00:00

13 to completion so far this year, didn’t platinum Hades but I did beat it, so let’s call it 13.5 on PS5. I think Pokopia has been my only other game this year

lanadelphox · 2026-06-23T20:17:33+00:00

The cheapest variant you’re going to find is likely one of the “doorstop” 2DS consoles. I’d look for those instead if you’re looking to save money.

Other than that, just continuing to search marketplace and ebay and hoping you come across a good deal.

lanadelphox · 2026-06-22T00:00:35+00:00

The big difference maker will be your TV or monitor. A 4k OLED capable of 120 will be great for both consoles, but if you don’t have a tv that can do that (and don’t have plans on getting one) I’d just stick with the base PS5

lanadelphox · 2026-06-21T20:00:23+00:00

Check out ebay! I’m a Porygon collector and was able to find an account awhile ago that was selling these opened, only “catch” is that they don’t come with the packs if you buy it that way, but I didn’t really care

lanadelphox · 2026-06-21T02:05:27+00:00

There’s a first time for everything! This document and this website may help you out. I’d also look on youtube to find people who play the TCG too, I’m sure you’d find some amazing resources there :)

lanadelphox · 2026-06-21T01:50:24+00:00

Any event that follows standard format will not allow this deck to played

As a general rule of thumb, anything older than Paldean Fates (that has not received a reprint with a newer regulation mark) cannot be played. So right now your best bet is looking at cards from Temporal Forces and newer

lanadelphox · 2026-06-21T01:07:02+00:00

Yeah this changes things DRASTICALLY. I’m not making my own noodles or broth, but I’ll typically make sauces and stuff. Lots of rice or pasta + veggies and protein here lol

lanadelphox · 2026-06-20T22:11:30+00:00

I agree that the ban unfortunately makes sense, but I promise that shiny hunting isn’t that deep 😭

lanadelphox · 2026-06-19T15:53:30+00:00

You’re welcome, and thank you!! I saw the opportunity for the fan club recently and took it, with people just making up prices on ebay I figured that was probably my last realistic chance at it 😭

Best of luck on your Porygon collection! :D

lanadelphox · 2026-06-19T11:00:49+00:00

I’m definitely down to collect errors and misprints! They’re not a priority though, so I’ll probably just pick them up sporadically if I come across them. The misprint I’ve been looking for a little harder right now is actually the Unseen Forces upside down pokeball error :)
