I do not have fun with the tcg despite multiple attempts

everything being coin flips is awful game design

bob Jul 23, 2026 12:47 PM b0b

it was back when my longtime grade school buddy didn't hate my guts and he got a bunch of packs and let me open some

Phijkchu_Pikachu Jul 23, 2026 12:47 PM b0b

Last time I opened a pack of pokemon cards with like 5 years ago because I got a promo pack of cards from something, last time I bought a pack of pokemon cards was probably like 15 years ago

Not even the worse part at times imo

bob Jul 23, 2026 12:47 PM b0b

I pulled a secret art water energy and made like a hundred bucks

bob Jul 23, 2026 12:47 PM b0b

*for him

bob Jul 23, 2026 12:47 PM b0b

because he paid for it and it was his i just opened it for him

Polar_ Jul 23, 2026 12:48 PM b0b

This card apparently is 2k. My buddy wants me to get it graded since hes very into pokemon cards (the regi way)

bob Jul 23, 2026 12:48 PM b0b

holy moly

Polar_ Jul 23, 2026 12:48 PM b0b

Its the chase card of the set

bob Jul 23, 2026 12:48 PM b0b

you gotta get it graded bro

Polar_ Jul 23, 2026 12:48 PM b0b

Yea ig so, I always see people bemoan grading and psa these days

Phijkchu_Pikachu Jul 23, 2026 12:48 PM b0b

Pokemon card grading is so backlogged it will take forever

Regi Jul 23, 2026 12:49 PM b0b

Take pics of front and back and i can tell u if worth sending

Regi Jul 23, 2026 12:49 PM b0b

Nah itll be like 3w for that card bc expensive

Polar_ Jul 23, 2026 12:49 PM b0b

Theres a weekly card show at Bell Works in NJ, might just send it there

Regi Jul 23, 2026 12:49 PM b0b

Youll have to pay more

legorhin Jul 23, 2026 12:49 PM b0b

sleave it before doing anything to it

Regi Jul 23, 2026 12:49 PM b0b

Thats not how it works

Its been in my collectors binder for years, but yea def needs a sleeve

Phijkchu_Pikachu Jul 23, 2026 12:50 PM b0b

Speaking of gambling, you should go to the Casino

Phijkchu_Pikachu Jul 23, 2026 12:50 PM b0b

it is a charity that is designed to make you money

Polar_ Jul 23, 2026 12:50 PM b0b

I have bad luck at casinos >.>

Phijkchu_Pikachu Jul 23, 2026 12:50 PM b0b

notice I said the Casino, proper noun

bob Jul 23, 2026 12:50 PM b0b

stay away from ogre magi and chaos knight then

Kribbles Jul 23, 2026 12:50 PM b0b

Your luck is due

Phijkchu_Pikachu Jul 23, 2026 12:50 PM b0b

it is up to you to determine what the Casino is

Phijkchu_Pikachu Jul 23, 2026 12:50 PM b0b

good luck

I love CK despite him being kinda consistently inconsistent

Kribbles Jul 23, 2026 12:54 PM b0b

Spooky got me to play brewmaster and I like him

Kribbles Jul 23, 2026 12:55 PM b0b

Although I haven't played in a month and I just reopened the game to cancel my dota plus lol

thanks for reminding me

Spooky Phijkchu Jul 23, 2026 3:53 PM b0b

I turned mine back on when Max said she might play last month

Polar_ Jul 23, 2026 3:57 PM b0b

Dota+ is unironically pay to win, but its not like you cant play without it

Polar_ Jul 23, 2026 3:57 PM b0b

But the games undeniably easier with it imo

Polar_ Jul 23, 2026 3:57 PM b0b

Gabe gave me like 3 months free last TI

Spooky Phijkchu Jul 23, 2026 3:58 PM b0b

It lets me be lazier

Spooky Phijkchu Jul 23, 2026 3:58 PM b0b

and yeah, it is just pay-to-win, pay-to-qol

The cosmetic/voice lines are very fun

Polar_ Jul 23, 2026 3:59 PM b0b

But camp timers make it worth

Polar_ Jul 23, 2026 3:59 PM b0b

Also the lil arrows at draft are great too

Polar_ Jul 23, 2026 3:59 PM b0b

Really is a lazy tax

Spooky Phijkchu Jul 23, 2026 3:59 PM b0b

yep, all the in-game overlays just save me from having to track (if I'm trying)

Spooky Phijkchu Jul 23, 2026 4:00 PM b0b

before they added dota+ (and before they removed all my cool custom scripts)

Spooky Phijkchu Jul 23, 2026 4:00 PM b0b

you used to be able to add a lot of 3rd party scripts/hotkeys to stay active

Spooky Phijkchu Jul 23, 2026 4:00 PM b0b

but now it's just $5/month

Polar_ Jul 23, 2026 4:01 PM b0b

I thought it was 1 dollar, maybe 4 max

Spooky Phijkchu Jul 23, 2026 4:01 PM b0b

$3.99/month

Spooky Phijkchu Jul 23, 2026 4:01 PM b0b

just checked

Spooky Phijkchu Jul 23, 2026 4:02 PM b0b

with minimal savings for paying yearly

Spooky Phijkchu Jul 23, 2026 4:02 PM b0b

also, I think they paywalled blocks/mutes

Spooky Phijkchu Jul 23, 2026 4:02 PM b0b

I remember reading that somewhere

Spooky Phijkchu Jul 23, 2026 4:03 PM b0b

you can still report w/o D+

Spooky Phijkchu Jul 23, 2026 4:03 PM b0b

but you need it to blacklist queueing into someone

Polar_ Jul 23, 2026 4:09 PM b0b

I think the avoid list is also time gated, but maybe thats just other games

Kribbles Jul 23, 2026 4:38 PM b0b

Is knowing the jungle stack timings under dota plus? I think it is, if not, that's basically the only thing I really use it for

Polar_ Aug 2, 2026 9:52 PM b0b

literally shit on infern so hard in lane he freaked the fuck out and went 0/13

bob Aug 5, 2026 7:07 PM b0b

Polar_ Aug 5, 2026 7:25 PM b0b

ranked? just came back to the game after a big break, i should have played the day they had Shives 2 scale with melee dmg

Polar_ Aug 5, 2026 11:36 PM b0b

feels like Spirit meta again, idc what anything says Apollo is giga hitler rn. slowing hex be damned. I know people bitch about his Parry change, but i think its arguably better targeted.

Oh, maybe steam deck? Yeah, I have dock and hook it up to a monitor, keyboard and mouse. Works just fine. Typical Linux issues where audio messed up for about a year, but Valve mighr have finally fixed it?

Polar_ Aug 5, 2026 11:50 PM b0b

There was a guy on /v/ that would post his dick on his steam deck like every day and say ick on eck

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 5, 2026 11:51 PM b0b

Polar, you and every other deadlock player might be gay

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 5, 2026 11:52 PM b0b
