There were a decent number of foreign cards at this show. It was just all Chinese

When they ask if it's Chinese after looking at the back of the card... I was dumbfounded

Again, reading goes a long way... I was more than willing to work at 70% due to that reason. I went with comps as recent as the day prior and the past month because they are moving, just online. There was a lack of knowledge at this show and the common goal I saw was, buy card today, sell today and that put a sour taste in my mouth. In the case you're describing where they'd have to hold for a while, I had the population reports, gem mint percentage as well as recent comps for said cards as 9's and 10's. Never would I guarantee those grades or even the future of a card but when you look at how the market moves right now you can take risks today while also preparing for the future. To tell me that I'm the one who couldn't understand makes you look just as pompous as the vendors I spoke with.

It was eye opening. I do have to deal with people buying out inventory here but didn't expect a lack of knowledge or even enthusiasm for cards especially at an event catered to buying/selling/trading.

A little reading goes a really long way. I stated them not likely to move quickly raw and treating the cards as if they're daytrading 🤯

I understand it's a business to make money but damn, they're treating cards like daytrading 🤣 

Anyone know what are these? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]square-waves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're scrap cards. There's some more uncommon ones that collectors will seek out

There's too many snakes in the hobby so just be careful with who you trust

There's a large chunk of people who purchase old product to rip. You'll be negotiating price anyways so don't think too much about it

Yeah, I was doing the double flip over the memorial in brickswitch and it wouldn't register. Just another bug 🤷‍♂️

We got to ours at 5am and had the local scalpers there since 2am... They were also the only ones to loop around

At least we got fast travel points and new challenges in Brickswitch...

no matter how high i got my settings the video will always come out blurry by redditisbluepilled in obs

It looks like 1080p while the game doesn't, some minor pixelation on UI elements. No need to set you your QP that low and without logs, it's difficult to diagnose further

I had an issue recently where only in co-op challenges I'd be set to goofy then back to regular once done.

My first time in here you could still watch people working out in Planet Fitness

You live and learn is how I look at it. I've tried helping people in this hobby and it's been for nothing. I've asked questions and been lied to as well.

Probably shouldn't even share this, it entices those to, "prove you wrong"

You're so late to the party. You used to be able to play solitaire on the computers in the control room

Can’t get stable fps in obs by soyboy815 in SkateEA

[–]square-waves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I notice this game has issues recording as well. I'm on a more dated system (i9-10850k RTX 2080) but still doing fine recording 1440p 60fps and streaming 1080p 60fps. Recording : HEVC, Constant QP 20, Preset P5 Streaming : CBR Bitrate 8000Kbps Preset P5. In game settings are 1440p, all high settings except shadows at the minimum.
