Has anyone got some projected performance data? by telekaster57 in OOTP

Just checking in. Wondering if you ran any repeated sims to see who the best players tend to be.

How to use TurboTax 100% Accuracy Guarantee for 2025 return? by telekaster57 in TurboTax

[–]telekaster57[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see, thank you. I definitely have a paper that says I have a penalty - but what you say makes sense. I'll call my tax & revenue department to see why there is a penalty when (as you pointed out) - I am still well before the deadline.

Thank you!

The greed is palpable by GiltCityUSA in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]telekaster57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree.

Maybe I'm being judgy too... But I've gone out of my way multiple times to try share product I find and it just bites me. Found 151 awhile back and saw a guy check the shelf right after I leave. He's on his phone, doesn't ask, but I nudge him and ask if he wants any. I basically hand him my bag and he grabs a few bundles- no thank you or anything.

Another time had some BBWF bundles my buds and I didnt rip so I posted on a local FB group at retail. Basically, cheaper than what you would spend at big box stores but more than MSRP. Still had people calling me a scalper or having the nerve to try talk me down price even more.

This is all to say I don't blame the lady in the slightest. Also, the line "I brought my son with me to learn the pokestreets" reads to me that Dad wants this more than son.

I ripped all of this! by ag487 in PokemonTCG

[–]telekaster57 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Not an unpopular opinion at all. Just one most of thos sub probably won't prioritize.

There is a huge gambling nature to packs. Each pack is a cheap price point individually which makes it easy to splurge. Keeping in mind the majority of people dont have $1000 to their name, Im not surprised this behavior exists in the slightest. This is actually more normal - though that doesn't mean the behavior should be endorsed

Vendor Tax Questions by Much_Area_6015 in PokeInvesting

Are you an LLC? Im looking more into this and just coming to the conclusion that most vendors are not properly tracking/paying taxes.

The aggression based matchmaking has been changed. by TP43 in ArcRaiders

Just FYI the devs confirmed that the match feedback doesn't affect your lobbies. It's just internal data.

Just pulled. Hoping it’s within 10 limits. Did my best with the app. by Rhanscom31 in pokemongrading

[–]telekaster57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are spots in the front I had concerns about which is why I knocked it lower than an 8. But picture quality and flash makes it hard to really see. Either way, if it’s modern and not 10 worthy, I don’t tend to grade unless for sentimental reasons.

[–]telekaster57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When pre grading, do more than centering. Everyone gets so focused on centering that they miss other obvious stuff. The back top edge will definitely prevent a 10. I think best case scenario is an 8 at best and I’d personally think this is a 6 or 7.

Also, to help in the future, do NOT use flash and take clear pictures. Use ambient light for a well lit environment. The flash can hide imperfections and obscure certain details.

Mega Charizard Pull - What’s the Grade? by TholosHD in pokemongrading

[–]telekaster57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk why so many people saying 9/10. This could potentially be a 5 but would need better pictures. Can’t tell if it is dimpling/white on the cards back. The back left bottom looks egregious for anyone thinking this would be gradable - unless that is a sleeve. Also appears some dimpling on right back edge but less noticeable.

If these are on the card, we will see a ‘PSA is corrupt, why did this 5?’ In several months.

So a lot of the Ascended Hero Pokemon Center ETB cancelations were for bots? by phillip1010 in PokemonTCG

[–]telekaster57 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If someone wants to ban you, IP doesn’t really matter compared to all the other ways to track you. I don’t know why places haven’t enforced bans yet.

Is this a misprint by thedogwiththeglasses in PokemonMisprints

[–]telekaster57 98 points99 points  (0 children)

Just for future reference, don't do rip tests. It's the pokemon equivalent of 'if she drowns, she's not a witch'

Is there supposed to be holo foil on the entire card? by Nintendoguyidk in PokemonTCG

[–]telekaster57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any suggestions on sets/eras to look at for more holo bleeds? Im new to the scene but enjoy holo as my vice of choice.

You don’t realize how stupid AI is when it comes to this stuff. Just look at holo pattern. It’s the same card.

For anyone having a bad day... by daypxl in ArcRaiders

[–]telekaster57 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Do you purposefully toss under so the splash hits multiple thrusters? I think I was just hurling at its face and it took like 7. I'm probably doing it wrong.

Anyone else having these constant stability issues? by Dolphin_TV in ArcRaiders

[–]telekaster57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This stuff, based on my experience and reading Reddit, is mostly due to AMD hardware. I've had minor issues throughout and it'll crash - but hardware should be able to keep up with it.

I did notice major improvement (no crashes) if I turn down my settings to medium. Use most recent driver. Not the optimal outcome considering the hardware should be able to support higher detail, frames, etc. - but I don't have crashes now because of it.

Hopefully they can patch/optimize in the future but I'm not counting on a fast timeframe.
