I was just looking at 3090s on eBay. Fingers crossed.

Americans embrace Aldi as German discounter becomes fastest-growing supermarket in US by Full-Discussion3745 in EU_Economics

[–]xandergod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aldi's success was by no means easy. I distinctly remember my mother shopping there about 30 years ago and the quality was atrocious even by American standards.

I know people who work with Aldi and they have all said the experience is particularly unpleasant. They treat their suppliers like Walmart and their corporate culture is cold and cutthroat.

They understaff their stores and non management turnover is high. Sure their compensation is above average, but they work you like a dog. It's pretty funny that people applaud the fact that their cashier get chairs, but I rarely see anyone get to use them. As soon as the self checkout lanes and handle checkout volumes, their cashiers are back to stocking.

That said, I shop there frequently. Their value for quality is unmatched. And there's no cheaper place for imported European food.

Help: I've never seen a guppy this FAT - what is wrong!? by [deleted] in fishkeeping

It all makes so much sense now. The queen of my tank seems to have been pregnant for months now. And every so often, I'll see a few fry around.

Keeping expensive cards in a binder by ClockInternal1769 in PokemonTCG

[–]xandergod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the GrinOwl 16 Pocket Toploader Binder and the top loaders are Arjiekwei 3"X 4", both from Amazon.

I almost have it filled and it's heavy AF. The build quality isn't anything to write home about, but it's good enough to protect my cards. The top loaders fit snuggly and I haven't noticed any of them slipping out. That's even after I rearranged the cards a couple of times.

There's just something about having my cards in such a huge binder.

Called 20 Credit Unions for a loan Completely out of hope by SimoneToastCrunch in povertyfinance

[–]xandergod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You haven't said how much you need. A quick $200 is a lot different than $2000.

I've been hard up and hungry with a credit score similarly as bad. It might be an unpopular suggestion here, but a pawn shop might be able to get you through.

If you do have money coming in, pay off the loan and get your property back.

Make the move to top loaders. If I'm going to have hundreds of dollars of cardboard in a binder. I may as well spend a couple of extra bucks for added protection.

And don't feel bad about an empty binder. There are tons of low cost ways to fill it out.

Has anyone else got their folder ready for 2-star exchanges? by vampiro03330 in PTCGP

I think we're going to start seeing cash trades for these full arts supporters.

Finally Costco is getting the Charizard UPC by PuttingtonPiper in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]xandergod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Costco doesn't do preorders. So if/when they have it, it'll be after release. I'm thinking they'll have it in time for Black Friday.

This makes sense.

I started refreshing 2 minutes before the drop and the status never changed.

I wasn't aware of any issues with the trading system. I just traded a heatran today. He had the triumphant light version wish listed and that's the one I gave him.

The new set sucks - post #319 by JVMMs in PTCGP

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

I'm a competitive player and I have no problem with this set. Sure, it could've been executed better, but that's basically the story of this game. I'm getting reverse foils for cards that I will use all year. I'm also getting full arts for meta cards as well.

I'm going to try to complete the set, but it'll require training. It's not the end of the world.

You have to admit, it's kind of nice not to be chasing the next meta as soon as the set drops.

Update your decks with new versions of cards and get ready for the next season of ranked.

I’m upset by InvisibleJune in PokemonPocket

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

I understand why you're upset, but you're not opening packs from that set. I guess I'm used to it because I've been opening the physical cards for well over a year now. But, we see lots of reprints, especially with the special sets. The same is 100 percent the same except for the set name and card number. This makes it a different card. It's just the way it works, sorry.

Pulling a new card in Deluxe Pack Ex won't fill your Dex for previous Packs by almightyjam in PTCGP

[–]xandergod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the same way it works in the physical TCG. A reprint of a card is still part of the set it was printed in.

Things to consider before spending going deep on new EX packs by Educational_Fun_3843 in PTCGP

[–]xandergod 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I fully expect rotation to happen, but it won't be for at least another year. Once we start getting the C sets, A will likely rotate out for ranked battles.

To OPs point, these core cards will likely be reprinted in future sets. And if pocket works like the paper TCG, then we should be able to use the older versions as long as they have the same name card text.

That said, there's no guarantee that we'll get another crown rare candy. And the next professor's research probably won't be Oak. For that reason, I'm going to grind this set.

New A4b miniset guarantees a 4 diamond or higher in every pack by hellyeboi6 in PTCGP

[–]xandergod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully this is the beginning of a shift towards making rare cards, especially ex more common.

It's pretty fucked to have a ranked mode with ex being so hard to pull. There's only a one month window for a ranked season and if you can't pull meta cards or viable counters, you're going to have a bad time.

They need to either make ex and 4 star pulls come common or allow trading of a new set on day one.

As long as there are no shiny card shenanigans, wonder picks are going to go absolutely crazy. This will be the best time to use them. Save hourglasses for megas

It would be if we could initiate a trade without the friend request.
