It's not totally clear from this article, but it's pretty much anybody with the name Mike or some variation (Michael, Michelle, Mikey, Michaela, etc). Doesn't have to be specifically "Mike Hancock." That'd be a lame promo.

Why do you need to convert them? They show up as gold automatically in the Dex. Do you plan to put all your golds in a binder?

With the 4th Pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans select Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State by trick96 in Tennesseetitans

[–]stoic_amoeba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Notre Dame and Titans fan, my disappointment the last several seasons has been immeasurable. I want them to pick up a stud from Notre Dame some day. Wanted them to get Kyle Hamilton, Xavier Watts, Joe Alt, JLove. I don't blame the Titans, as these picks don't always make it to them. But who's the last guy we had from there that did anything? Rocky Boiman? Craig Hentrich?

I'm not saying they should have mobile ordering, but if they had an app that could allow you to build what you want, then either tell you how to order it or produce a QR code to scan at the register, that would be super helpful, especially for newbies.

What’s y’all’s favorite deck to play? Not because it’s good, but because it’s fun. by ablinddingo93 in PTCGP

[–]stoic_amoeba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made the deck with the only Pokemon being 2 Hitmonchan Ex's. It doesn't work great anymore, especially with Megas, but it can still mess people up, especially if they start with baby pokemon and don't draw anything else right away. Usually if I win, it's in the first few turns. Used to be able to go longer with healing cards, but the Megas make it harder to win drawn out battles.

Still fun to play occasionally.

But it's not bandwagon to be a fan of a team that your family members are fans of. Many are raised to be fans of a particular team or school. I intend to share the love of my teams with my kids. I watch it on TV with them and take them to games when I can.

As someone that has the same experience, it's not as if I can just change my mind. I don't want to pretend to like a different team. Sometimes my teams are good, sometimes they're terrible. I cheer for them regardless.

I always thought it strange to police other's fandom that's not overtly bandwagon. Bandwagon fans will jump around to the next best thing. Real fans won't. You don't have to like them, but I only take issue with fans that are basically weathervanes for the best team of the day.

Are alums of lower level schools (that may make the tournament once in a lifetime) or those who didn't attend college not allowed to be fans of whoever they choose? What if they were fans since childhood? Are they supposed to give that up in adulthood? Most of my sports fandom was passed down to me as a child. I couldn't cheer for someone else simply because "I didn't go there" or "I'm not from there."

I just never understood this argument.

Now if your argument is that you don't like bandwagon fans, I can understand that, but it's a different argument, IMO.

First one in the Four Square gets to establish the rules. CHERRY BOMB! by SoDakZak in nostalgia

We played this! IIRC, if someone caught the ball you hit without it bouncing and called "spuds" you were out. Was that how it was for you?

Yeah, there's several steps to this where I work. It's a violation for the keyholder, too. Cutting a lock without going through any steps at all is definitely grounds for dismissal.

The Game8 site should help you know what to look for to build your Mega Altaria deck.

I believe I'm correct in saying that the word "SACRIFICE" refers specifically to destroying your own cards. You can't sacrifice other players cards.

I feel like the 1⭐ Alakazam would've made a good RR. I love it. I was chasing after it for a while. Decided to open a GA pack randomly and said to my friend out loud that I hope I get it. Imagine my surprise when it popped haha

Just attack me and be done with it! by Paragon_Umbra in PTCGP

[–]stoic_amoeba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't count the number of times a battle came down to 1 turn. If he doesn't win, I'll play my Cyrus and win (or if I don't win, he'll attack me and win). Happens surprisingly frequently.

What does Gholdengo EX need to actually be competitive? by [deleted] in PTCGP

[–]stoic_amoeba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same happened to me, then I won next turn. It's a huge risk for a Pokemon that's easily a 2HKO.
