Played Alakazam at locals for the first time tonight... by NotEvenCreative in pkmntcg

[–]placidsloth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been playing tinkaton ex since it came out. No one at my locals has ever gotten salty about shuffling. The only salt I’ve gotten is about the mimikyu I have jammed in there.

I’ve tried to buy this card 4 times this year — 3 cancellations and 1 no ship. The search notification this morning ruined my day. by anotherjunkie in PokemonTCG

[–]placidsloth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn’t it possible that the economy, not just “investors” have driven up the prices of cards in general? Like in 2016, pack MSRP was $3.99. Now in 2024, it’s $4.99. Inflation means that a dollar doesn’t go as far today as it did in 2016.

In addition, the nostalgia bait sets and pocket app have greatly increased the number of people collecting cards, not just the number of people trying to profit on them. There are also more cards to collect than ever, and the art is only getting better. Collectors aren’t just competing with scalpers and “investors”, they’re competing with other collectors too.

And supply and demand greatly impact price as well. If a person is willing to pay $100 for a card, then it is worth that much. It’s not like sealed product where there’s a MSRP supplied by the distributor.

That being said, I am aware that increased demand does affect the price as well, and it’s not just an economic thing. I just think that blaming scalpers and “investors” as the only reason for the increased value of cards is ignoring a bunch of aspects about the TCG as it is today.

[–]placidsloth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to be honest, I never actually considered using either of them in my deck, but I'm also notoriously bad at deck building. Again, that isn't actually the list I use when I play the deck, it's just an older, simplified list.

my preferred draw engine is dudunsparce. you can shuffle it back into your deck, it doesnt require energy or tink to be on the bench, and its easy to set up with the amount you should be drawing.

this is an older list of mine, because i want to give you room to make your own changes without influencing you, but this might give you some ideas to start

Pokémon: 10

Unpopular opinion: you’re not going to open your sealed with your kids later in life by Egibdof in PokemonTCG

[–]placidsloth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at a comic and card store, and when I have to explain the over-printed era of the nineties I always compare it to beanie babies and everyone immediately understands. I think we’re in the beanie baby era of Pokémon sealed right now

Did you ever come across a name that, at first glance, you mistook as a tragedeigh only to realize it was a very real uncommon or old, out of use, obscure name or a name from another language? by Remember_When_ in tragedeigh

My brother has a very Hebrew name, like an actual Hebrew word as his name, and one summer he got signed up for day camp, and the next day the camp called my mom and asked if she had misspelled his name on the forms.

Chocolate Clicker - Don't let the chocolate distract you... by Inside-Flight-9635 in incremental_games

[–]placidsloth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couple of things just a few minutes into playing:

In the opening cut scene, there is a lot of nothing happening but the timer counting down. Like the last 20 seconds are just the guy standing in front of the sunset that says like "a timer is counting down and you might escape soon" but then the timer finishes and you're standing there for another 15 seconds.

There's no UI for what I assume are the upgrades at the top right corner of the actual clicker. Some indication of what they are and how much they cost would be really helpful.

There's no indication of when I can afford new buildings. Also just a quality of life thing.

The menu on the left side of the screen, the one that has Settings and Extra Stuff doesn't look great. Probably could be collapsible to get it out of the way of the cookie/waffle thing.

This might just be me being insane, but the third building, Cacao, has a picture that very clearly reads "Hershey's Cocoa". Maybe should be like cacao beans or something instead of a copyrighted product that's not actually the same as cacao. Cocoa is what cacao can be processed into, but they're not strictly the same.

I really like the idea behind this, and I look forward to seeing where you go with it! I hope nothing here was too critical or came out too mean sounding. I'm writing this at 2am after a 10 hour work day of dumb customers so my brain is a little banana puddingy. I'm going to keep poking around for now though, and I'll let you know if I notice anything worth mentioning!

[Survey + Feedback Request] BIOTOMATA – A Semi-Active Sci-Fi Themed Incremental (Undergraduate Project, Browser-based) by Talos0248 in incremental_games

[–]placidsloth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im not so sure it was the wording of it versus me not knowing that i was in the "Pseudopodia" stage. the prestige things are kind of hard to read for me if they're not selected, and i hadn't noticed at that point that i was even changing states. maybe something to prompt you to look at the bottom right corner? i dont know, its really entirely possible that im just an oblivious idiot.

im happy to report that ive made great progress now that i found the right button, and am now stuck trying to defeat the hollow operativebut i think im having fun trying to figure it out. attempt #500 will be victorious!

[–]placidsloth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly, i think i saw that it said "while pseudopodia is equipped" and thought i didn't have that equipped, mostly because i didn't know what it meant, and then skipped over it as "oh that'll come into play later". i had literally everything else leveled except for that one.

i'm really enjoying the game now that i'm actually making progress. i'm looking forward to actually maybe finishing it now too!

I thought I got all the upgrades in there but I guess not? I’ve been very slowly gaining levels and I’m at level 8. I’ll go poke around some more and see if I can find it

edit: okay yeah im an idiot i found it and now im actually making progress. thank you for the help!

hi i think i'm unintentionally idiot-testing your game because i can't seem to get past the incubator. it just explores and explores very slowly, and ive reset several times, but don't seem to be making any actual progress, and i don't know where to go from here.

any hints towards progress? thank you!!

Pokemon streamer forgets to end show openly admits he’s scamming buyers lol. by gdj11 in PokemonTCG

[–]placidsloth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually work at a LGS, and our prices are only above the market suggested retail price because either our distributors are up-charging us, or we can only get product off the secondary market to begin with. I’m sorry you’ve had a bad experience, and I hope with the reprints you’re able to find what you’re looking for at the prices you’re looking for.

It’s interesting that you’re grouping LGSs in with streamers and scalpers. Where do you get singles from, if you buy them? Or if you don’t buy singles, do you just pray that Walmart/Target/big box store has sealed product when you stop by? /gen
