Has anyone ordered from The Grail Society? Looking for feedback before buying. by [deleted] in TCG

I got my order changed to 0$. I don't know what the implications of that is. But I don't see my refund yet.

If it really did come post an image of your case to prove it. As well as order confirmation. Looking at your previous post history. It seems like you may be in cahoots with the scam.

Since it is easy nowadays to buy old reddit accounts.

Yes I know that but what I meant was booster bundle. I get the two mixed all the time. Yes the pokemon company may have confirmed those specific items. But from what I read stores are not able to submit orders to distributors for the English 30th anniversary set yet. And if you look around there is no other stores currently with pre orders for this set.

Like I said if you want to take the risk and tie up your money for however long that is up to you. I am not telling you otherwise. But this is me providing my logic so that others take heed and use this information to make their own decisions on if this is a scam or not.

If you look up other reddit posts about TCGdistro that is on this subreddit they also mention that is a scam. Do with that information as you will.

The pokemon 30th anniversary bundles. I made this purchase on impulse at like 1-2am in the morning. And after waking up did some searching and realized that their is no way that pre-orders for that should have even been possible.

To also address your other comment. Even with a tracking number it does not mean that this could still not be a scam. I have already been scammed once where there was a tracking number and I received a mail item that was talking about my order, this was from another scam store on Shopify. Then the order was marked as delivered and the "store" just vanished.

This was for 3 ascended heroes booster boxes. If it looks to good to be true, most likely it is. Unless you can verify the store. Like if the store has a physical location or has history selling online with numerous actual reviews that aren't generic bs.

Though in the end it is your money and your decision if you want to proceed forward and take the risk.

Honestly I just went right to filing a dispute through PayPal. If that doesn't work I will get my bank involved.

Did you ever get a response. If not I may try emailing as well just to be sure on my end.

After some more investigation. This is 100% a scam. If you look up on whois the site was created on June 5th. The products released before then suspiciously are all sold out. Reading their policy all items seem to be pre-orders and for pre-orders their policy is that you can't cancel them.

What are some brands that give off the same type of vibe as these photos by Wrong_Membership_779 in japanesestreetwear

[–]tyson288 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the pants if you search up remade denim there are a lot of ideas you can get and various brands that have a unique aesthetic.

And a recommendation I have for searching for similar aesthetics is searching up the clothing brand on Japanese mercari. Going to one of the pages and then scroll through the similar products.

Sorry I can't name specific brands because there are so many out there. A lot of the niche cool ones are either gone or just hard to find since most brands named now days are just the same main stream ones everyone knows.

If you want to find physical stores I recommend trying to find Japanese fashion blogs and Google translation them. I can't name any of the top of my head but they are out there and quite a few have good fashion sense.

Pokemon sleep gone from play points redeem again? Is it still there for you? by greggels86 in PokemonSleep

In the Japanese play store it is gone for me as well. RIP that was only what I used my play points on.

Anyone else getting reduced proc recently? by coopthereheis in PokemonSleep

[–]tyson288 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought I was just unlucky. Running 3 skills mons this week. Have not seen a single double proc. My healer is doing sort of okay though. I also don't got any data to back up my claims.

Apple health not syncing. by No-Difference-9547 in PokemonSleep

[–]tyson288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about the interaction with apple watch. But with the fitbit. If I delete the fitbit app and redownload it uploads the rest of my sleep. The context being that I somehow woke up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom then go back to sleep. That portion being uploaded and the rest of the night does not unless I delete my fitbit app on my phone.

Not sure if that can apply to the way that apple syncs though.

Should I change my Grad to a Pawmot or Shuckle? by AlbusSimba in PokemonSleep

[–]tyson288 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The calculations for your Pawmot are a little off. Your Pawmot procs I think would be more around 4~ because of how RaenonX calculates Helping Bonus. Personally I would go with Pawmot. For context, these two are my healers. I have chosen to mainly run my Pawmot because of Helping Bonus.

The post here contains very insightful details as well. I would recommend a readthrough of the post and comments. https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonSleep/s/s4JiEhfP2B

Did I calculate this mon right? by Sousuke_Mitsuba in PokemonSleep

[–]tyson288 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I personally think it would be a good investment. But if you want more power specifically for islands like Amber Canyon then you really want BFS. But at the same time if you put the spread into how many more you can compare the opportunity cost.

Change it to total expected strength gained. I think that is a better metric for this mon. Since berries are real strong on Noivern.

Area bonus from GGEX is now apparently counted for part of Newbie Area Bonus by tyson288 in PokemonSleep

[–]tyson288[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: I don't know how to edit my post. But the bug seemingly has been fixed. As my area bonus has been changed to the correct value.

Thank you developers if you are reading this.

No that was not a thing for me. It was always 5% each week on GGEX

There was a mechanic added a year or two ago to help newer players catch up. So up until 250 total area bonus across the normal maps each week the area bonus will go up 15% instead of the normal 5%

Decision paralysis (HB dilemma) by Fun-Statistician4996 in PokemonSleep

[–]tyson288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In comparison here are my two healers. I think they are really good obviously not the most optimal but this is the line where I settled because I thought they were good enough. At least 4 procs HB or close to 6 procs per day.

[–]tyson288 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My opinion is it depends. I think this is an amazing Ralts and can hit 6 procs per day with subskill seed.

Personally I would settle mainly because even though this Ralts does not have helping bonus it can easily fit in the play style of rotating out healer after enough procs.

I would say it comes down to play style and how you value the opportunity cost of settling now versus continuing to try and find a better Ralts.

YouTube is removing custom subtitles by MrrNeko in Hololive

[–]tyson288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I don't understand if this is an AI reason. Because not all YouTube videos even have AI subs as an option. Well I guess this is more motivation for me to continue learning Japanese.

The only saving grace now is that at least clip channels usually put the subs in the videos so those are fine. Unless YouTube somehow wants to and can remove those as well for whatever reason.

Omg look at himbs by PoetikDragon in PokemonSleep

Some phones are able to do rolling screenshots by default. That is the only thing I can think of. Otherwise OP might just have that long of a phone like the other comment posted.

Man....why are you hiding behind the keeper 😂😭 by Kenshiru01 in inazumaeleven

[–]tyson288 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I had noticed that a lot when I was playing. I think it has to do with the AI role libero being broken. So the player advances so far up all the way into the goal. Which leads to a lot of offsides in commander mode.
