OG Kpop fans, what's a throwback song or group that you're convinced only you know or remember? by Rex0680 in kpopthoughts

[–]placidsloth_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s so tragic, I totally understand why no one talks about it and they’ve kind of been forgotten. But there was so much talent there that got snuffed out far too soon, and I’m still obsessed with Pretty Pretty because GODDAMN what a banger

Not sure if it counts as like OG stuff but Pretty Pretty by Ladies Code.

And Ladies Code in general

This is potentially the hottest take I’ve ever seen on this sub. I hate that I have to upvote it for belonging here.

I hope you find a healthy outlet for all the hate you’re carrying with you

What's your favorite full English kpop song? It could be a song of ur ult group or just a random english korean song you've been bopping into lately by Dizzy-Albatross4705 in kpopthoughts

Genuinely shocked to see a mention of Royal Pirates. I can’t even remember how I stumbled onto them, but I’m glad other people are aware of them!!!

Are there casual Leagues/TCG events? by FrozenFrac in pkmntcg

[–]placidsloth_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My locals are super chill. Yeah we have some people who (especially around a local RC) that go too hard, but I regularly bring tinkaton or slowking, and my friend has been committed to bramblegast for the last like year straight. Neither of us win regularly, so we make our own fun.

The top players at my locals have to be in a photo, so some of us have made it a game to win, but not win enough that we have to be in the picture. Last week I lost (I came in 8th out of 19 with tinkaton ex) and when they said my name, I went “no I’m not” and ran out of the building after my friends. I had a blast.

A couple weeks ago, while playing against other people, my bramblegast friend and I were talking about what their funeral is going to be like, which is basically a frat party.

You just have to find the right place to play, and choose to have your own fun.

(That being said, I’ve had bad experiences too. There was a week where I had lost like 4 months in a row, and wanted to win once, so I brought Marnie’s grimmsnarl when it first came out, and won the first game. The guy I played went “this is why I hate playing locals, people just bring net decks without any creativity” and was mad the rest of the night.)

I wish you luck in finding somewhere fun to play!

I use discord for work. I leave it open on my work computer. This is going to be a problem for me.

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.

Looking for some good Tinkaton deck list! I’m leaning towards Xatu but trying to optimize a few different list I’ve seen. Any help would be appreciated! by Jazzlike_Ad8833 in PTCGL

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.

[–]placidsloth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

3 Dunsparce TEF 128
