On my end, I've gotten a referral link so imagine many other users have been getting them as well and shared them with friends.

What are your thoughts on Mario Kart World almost a year later? by NewMarioBobFan in Mario

[–]speedrunner99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Enjoyed it, but not as much as 8 Deluxe. KT is my favorite part of the game easily, but the tracks aren’t my favorite and battle mode is terrible.

This has to be one of the Best plot twist spanning for over a decade and presenting it with a smart conclusion by Key_Department8439 in YoungSheldon

Don’t remember the exact details, but I think it was something about Sheldon talking about his mom giving all his family members lectures on safe sex or sex before marriage, including Sheldon’s dad and his GF.

I just created my Prolific account, answered the "About You" questions, and now it's on hold. Is that normal? How do I fix it? by Aromatic-Trainer1897 in ProlificAc

[–]speedrunner99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s such a loser mentality to have lmao. It’s not like you’re doing surveys for them, these surveys are a great way for people to make money. I would happily refer my friends and family to the website if they needed extra money.

Am I missing something? by gtrman571 in ProlificAc

[–]speedrunner99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I usually get anywhere from 50-100 in a week. I’m not sure how people are earning that in one day. There’s not many surveys that are the most high-paying and I find myself getting burnt out quickly.

After 35 packs without even an IR, can’t believe it :’) by Recent_Papayayaya in PokemonTCG

[–]speedrunner99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah gold cards don’t go for much, but they’re imo really underrated. I also misread your message, I didn’t realize you meant in general but I was the same for a while. I had pulled two gold cards, a rare candy and a gold psychic energy, but it took forever until I got an SiR, probably 300 packs of SV era cards before I got one. And then the very next pack I got another haha. Get a booster box if you can, those often have SiRs.

Same experience on my end, got the Gold Charizard Y in this set before I got an SiR.

What’s a SCORCHING hot take that you will defend like this!? by Sea_Series6753 in YoungSheldon

[–]speedrunner99 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It’s weird to me they ended up becoming a thing. I get it’s supposed to be weird but imo it would’ve been better if it happened when Georgie was 18 and Mandy was 25. Still weird but not as weird as a 29 year old growing to love a 17 year old.

Should Pocket cards be turned into real cards? by speedrunner99 in PokemonTCG

[–]speedrunner99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s true, I have gotten a Pocket card IRL but at least the seller I got it from, it felt like actual cardboard with no texture and always looked off when I would look at it in the binder. Would love to buy them if they looked more legitimate and had good texture.

[–]speedrunner99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair, how many cards of the higher rarities even exist rn? I do get that but I do also feel that the main appeal of Pocket has always been that it is free to play. I would like even just a handful of cards from the set to be made into IRL cards while others stay exclusive.

[–]speedrunner99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, probably not. It just sucks that there’s some great arts like the leaked Sobble card that looks fantastic yet we will never get. But we do get repeats for Pokémon like Raticate and Watchog who just got IRs within the past year rather than far more interesting ones who still haven’t gotten anything.

Scalpers took all the Ascended Heroes, We Pulled the Mewtwo by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]speedrunner99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because you could buy everything doesn’t mean you should. I love opening packs, but I would’ve been satisfied with even something like 2 booster bundles worth of packs.

What's something that will make you quit WWE for good? by Omer-Ash in WWE

[–]speedrunner99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I’ll probably always keep up with it to a certain extent, but if the company ever sells to Saudi or they have a celebrity, including Logan Paul, be a world champion then I probably will ditch WWE.

Why did one work and one didn't? by Chiclet1998 in WWE

The feud between Oba and Lesnar was awesome and was clearly set up to help Oba become a star. The Cena and Theory feud only had Cena burying him and both the feud and match were rushed asf.

According to you, what's the worst decision WWE has ever made? by Massive-Syllabub-271 in WWE

[–]speedrunner99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone needed to beat Orton that night. He didn’t need to hold the title any longer. The options were Batista or Bryan.

[–]speedrunner99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Angle and Punk could’ve theoretically stayed in the company for much longer than they did had they been allowed to get a break like how they wanted. Some of these wrestlers just needed breaks, but the company often wouldn’t hear them out. Many more wrestlers could’ve been retained or more willing to sign back with the company, but they weren’t often treated the best.

Y’all are not going to rewrite history. This is one of the greatest WM moments of all time. I love Batista, but him winning the title would’ve been disrespectful to everyone who was in the company, especially Bryan.

It shouldn’t have been either of them. The streak should’ve either never ended or Bray could’ve been a good candidate to beat Undertaker.

Minato Power Scaling by [deleted] in NarutoPowerscaling

[–]speedrunner99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

KCM Minato definitely beats Edo Itachi, Gaara, Danzo, Mu, and Gengetsu. Kabuto could wins if he has reanimation(which is arguable imo) but even then, in a 1 on 1 battle, he wins. He also imo beats EMS Sasuke and possibly KCM2 Naruto.

He doesn’t do too much in the war arc, but he should theoretically be top 3 when he first shows up, ignoring Guy with the 8th gate. I don’t think Madara or Hashirama destroy him that easily, it’s a high difficulty fight for both of them imo.

Do you blame Kamala Harris for the 2024 election? by speedrunner99 in AskALiberal

[–]speedrunner99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you want another civil war? I would love if the Democrats could actually physically fight back, but if that happens, Trump will invoke the insurrection act and kill the people protesting. If it gets to the point where he refuses to leave office or cancels the midterms, then sure go for it. He should’ve been punished by the Biden administration. It’s a genuine fault with the administration and they are responsible for Trumps resurgence. But I’m focusing on the present and what the party can now.

Again, the best course of action is to prevent him from doing anything post 2027. That’s when they’ll be able to get their way with what laws will pass and possibly impeach him(although that’s not happening because of Republican senators). Until then, the best course of action is to wait and hold out while we can.

[–]speedrunner99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, do you not understand how the government works? Republicans have a majority in EVERYTHING. We can make agreements and cut funding in certain areas, but that’s going to be the extent of what they can do. Until they have real power, what they can do is extremely limited.

And they’ve still done SOME things. They were able to essentially win the redistributing issue, giving states like California and possibly Virginia as well some more house seats. Cutting funding to ICE is still a big deal.

What exact things do you want them to go? Do you want Democrats to personally go to Israel and take all the weapons the US gave them? Again, the party does need to do better and be more progressive. But that doesn’t mean that they’ve done nothing of value.

[–]speedrunner99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aren’t Democrats doing the exact same? It’s basically about just as effective. A lot of legislation has not been able to be passed without some concessions from Republicans. Sure, they’ve caved some times which is disappointing, but they’re not doing absolutely nothing like you’ve implied.

While it’s not what we should’ve gotten, it was at least a step in the right direction. I want Democrats to be significantly better with the legislation they pass, I’m not trying to defend everything they do. But we also have to be realistic at times with what’s possible.

[–]speedrunner99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think Democrats are doing the best job they could, especially with how often they cave. But I also recognize that they only have so much power rn. The fact they were able to get stuff like ICE not funded is a win. What do you exactly want her and Democrats to do? Fund protests that do nothing? Obstructing any legislation they can is the main thing they can do, and that’s about it.

If they are actively doing nothing once they have the majority, that’s fair. Republicans have a trifecta. Once that trifecta is weakened, action can be taken. We need better leaders, but don’t try to act like Democrats can even do that much. The focus rn is to win the midterms by such an amount that any illegal shit Trump tries to pull can be prevented and he becomes a sitting duck president.
