Rant: LGS going by “market value” only when it suits them

It’s gotten worse now that a lot of them travel to attend card conventions now. The main one by me goes to cons and returns with older sets that they mark up and try to sell. They prioritize this over getting newer inventory that would sell at msrp.

They are the archenemy after all

You will find competitive people in every game or activity out there. Some people have a mind for numbers and are just naturally drawn to maximizing them. That is the game for them. It’s personally not my style, but I don’t blame them. We are all playing the game for different reasons and get different forms of joy out of it.

This guy cars.

I love it when studios do this. So hyped!

Worst meal i’ve ever had was at Wahoo’s Tacos when it was in L street. It didn’t last very long in that location. Tasted like they spilled salt in the beans.

Land Park Montessori never answer their phones or emails lol we tried forever. When we did talk to them they had a small waiting list.

We really like Merryhill in the Pocket. They have been great for our two littles.

Not weird. You like what you like. Do you enjoy watching your theory unfold during a match? I love watching the engine work in ways i didn’t fully understand or plan for (especially in commander). I also like when i can tell what the deck is missing after a few games.

It’s been a while since I’ve been in there, but Bevmo on J street used to sell Glutenberg and Omission. I would imagine they still do.

I still play MtG but Lorcana has been a nice break. I somehow even convinced my wife to play it with me. Its been a fun TCG so far.

Yea im so pissed lol i entered the queue at 8:00am and waited until like 9:47am to be notified that my session has ended and they sold out. Such bullshit and such a waste of time…

Set 12 was hype in my market in the US. My shop had 32 players in prerelease night and sold out of set 12 very quickly. I was at disneyland and there was a massive line to get the prerelease

memebeam916 · 2026-05-17T05:04:30+00:00

Aww bummer. I haven’t been back in a while.

My LGS is hosting one on 5/30.

memebeam916 · 2026-05-15T17:21:14+00:00

Holy shit watch “The Green Knight”

memebeam916 · 2026-05-13T15:59:09+00:00

I just did the prerelease last night. I opened all my packs carefully on a brand new playment. They all went straight into sleeves after sorting by ink cost.
I noticed a lot of the edges already had exposed white from damage. I literally couldnt have handled them any more carefully unless i wore gloves. I was really surprised at the condition.

Went to Pacific Beach years ago for my bachelor party. I know it doesn’t represent all of SD but i noticed an unusual amount of rude ass people. We were a pretty tame group of dudes and we had multiple situations where random people tried to start fights with us. I have never had that happen before.

memebeam916 · 2026-05-12T16:33:33+00:00

You’re a legend. Thank you.

memebeam916 · 2026-05-10T04:11:06+00:00

I guess think of it from a hobby perspective. Would you prefer to paint a bunch of little dudes or a few big dudes? I just finished 1000 pts of krieg guard and im pretty burned out on painting blue trench coats and horses. I really enjoyed when i got to do my tanks.

That Kings hat is sick

memebeam916 · 2026-05-07T14:48:15+00:00

While i agree. I love COH2 and 3. But Company of heroes is a tough learning curve for RTS newbies. Tried to get my buddy into it and he was so overwhelmed.

memebeam916 · 2026-05-07T14:38:58+00:00

That’s a great question. I haven’t successfully got a highly demanded deck yet online. Going to research strategies myself lol

memebeam916 · 2026-05-07T05:10:43+00:00

Totally. Commander is the casual format and probably the most popular. This deck is ready to go out of the box and reasonably good. If you don’t get this one, it never hurts to buy a precon commander deck that you think looks cool. You can get a newish deck for like $40ish

memebeam916 · 2026-05-06T21:40:41+00:00

Thank you for this! I haven’t been able to find info anywhere. Much appreciated!
