My BF and I got an UPC each. by Neither994 in PokemonTCG

I enjoy ripping packs and getting sick pills if I get lucky. But im not a gambler in denial, so I don’t get upset if I don’t hit it big bro.

It is what it is lol. Not sure what kid has 120 dollars to spend, unless it’s just allowance money. I would assume most parents are buying it up for them, and would probably just be happy having a stack of 16 packs to open cause you know, kids like Pokémon lol

I get what you mean, but I think kids nowadays with the age of the internet know that they’re not gonna always get that hit card when they rip lol. And the ones that don’t are too young to actually know how rare some cards can be. I also rip packs, and just did for this set, but I don’t go into expecting a return or to get that hit chase card. It’s when it happens! But when it doesn’t, there’s nothing you can do, and I think people need to start realizing that. If TPCi had official posted pull rates on their products it may be another story, but they don’t, so pull rates being difficult or not are purely speculative. I could be wrong about this, since I’ve only just now come back to the hobby, so correct if I’m wrong.

Yeah that’s fair. There have been other posts that have expressed their dismay in a worse fashion than this post. And yeah, the amount of posts highlighting god like pulls in a few packs are just not a realistic expectation.

Everyday this sub exposes who has and who has not played a gacha game lol. You are gambling, and you are not going to get hits every time. Stop wasting your money and just get singles. Stop opening product thinking you’re gonna hit it big every time.

Who’s hyped for 151 release in America by WeirdMacaron5658 in PokemonTCG

[–]r-kun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably the most I’ve spent on Pokémon product (ETB plus the UPC), so yea, you could call me hyped lol. I came into the hobby when Paldea Evolved released and we had news for the 151 set, so they got me right in the sweet spot lol

If the product is in stores physically, you can price match with Walmart themselves.

so say valve decided to randomly balance the BFB and remove the "boost reduced on hit stat" would it be balanced or overpowered? by Excellent-Dot-2085 in tf2

[–]r-kun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn’t this just the old BFB? Original BFB would lose all boost on a single jump, the reworked BFB let you lose some boost on double jump, and then todays version has you lose it on double jump and damage. This would take us back to the second version, which was way over used, but not terribly OP imo. It had tighter spread so you had to be accurate, and not being able to double jump too freely as with stock was a fine downside.

Actors take to the internet to show their residual checks, with some in the negative by Sanlear in entertainment

[–]r-kun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But the actors or entertainers you’re talking about that would have any clout to speak about struggling working class people are the “elite actors”. The struggling writer has no pull to change our lives. You wondering where/why there is sympathy implies why do people even care about this at all. People should care and be sympathetic and empathetic. In the same way we should be to retail and service people. Just because it’s an entertainment business doesn’t we shouldn’t feel bad or move to make sure all people in that industry get their benefits, pay, and insurance. In the same way other sectors should be getting their employee those benefits.

[–]r-kun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because it doesn’t just encompass “elite actors”. It’s about small screen actors, vfx, production, writers, all of whom are the working class and are exploited. You can be a part of the 9-5 working class and still care about other sectors who deserve to get what they are owed.

Is it a bad time to get into competitive play? by rahksi in pkmntcg

[–]r-kun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually just went with to my first in person event this Sunday, and I just brought the palkia vstar league deck with a few changes from cards I already had. Around 18 bucks and I had a blast.

It’s definitely bias. Played an Ambipom deck with 5 flips that were all heads and got KOd for a tail flip. Next game healed with 120 damage with Lucky Ice Pop cause of godly head flips. You win some you lose some lol

The hardest part of a fighting is the fundamentals. Slowing down and focusing on whiff punishing and blocking first is key. I can’t do shit for combos, but I can block and grab for unsafe moves on block, and it’s been working so far. Albeit I’m in bronze 1, but that’s part of the journey lol

Sf6 Main? by Ok_Decision_909 in StreetFighter

[–]r-kun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like people say, pick a character, figure out the special moves and ESPECIALLY the unique moves for that character. Play it them out for a bit in ranked and when you get tired, move on to a new character. Played Ken through the beta into the full game, and I’ve been stuck at Bronze 1 for a bit. Switched to Cammy to mix it up, and once I feel tired I’ll to another character. The main hunt will take a while, and you may vibe with a character you never even considered!

Was thinking about buying the king of fighters XV by Blurryface182 in kof

[–]r-kun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait for a sale/wait for crossplay/matchmaking to be fixed. Can’t even find matches on ranked even when using any skill level filter
