@amorus93 @Peanutor__ @IWishTCG It was literally part of the original Kaiba Starter Deck.

@Peanutor__ @IWishTCG Sure but you weren’t opening packs full of them

You are in love with the memories you had with Yu-gi-oh, not how it actually was. You also say cards are not playable out of the pack cus they mention other cards. Dog I remember opening Invasion of Chaos packs Id get Ojama Delta Hurricane, Torpedo fish, Primal Seed, Earth Chant

@prettyyy_odd_ @dustoxgDP63 The Hero's Cape is around $25-30 recently.

@dustoxgDP63 All super playable cards that’s why 😭 the blazikens are 3$+ market and the hero’s cape is like 10

$20 at the card show btw

@Teal_dance @dustoxgDP63 Hero's Cape alone has spiked to around $25 probably because of Prague.

@dustoxgDP63 The Ogerpons alone are worth it

@BlackJackPartII @MarioNawfal @mrddmia For the bit

@MarioNawfal @mrddmia Why was Kash Patel specifically exempted from the target list?

🇺🇸 The full manifesto of WHCD gunman Cole Allen has been obtained by the New York Post. Key takeaways: - A 31-year-old California teacher who described himself as "half-black, half-white" - Sent the 1,052-word document to family 10 minutes before the attack - Targeted Trump administration officials by rank, explicitly excluded Kash Patel - Used buckshot deliberately to minimize collateral casualties - Described Secret Service security as "actually insane" and said he walked in with multiple weapons undetected - "If I was an Iranian agent instead of an American citizen, I could have brought a Ma Deuce in here and no one would have noticed" - Ended the manifesto: "It's awful. I want to throw up. Can't really recommend it. Stay in school, kids." Full manifesto: "Hello everybody! So I may have given a lot of people a surprise today. Let me start off by apologizing to everyone whose trust I abused. I apologize to my parents for saying I had an interview without specifying it was for “Most Wanted.” I apologize to my colleagues and students for saying I had a personal emergency (by the time anyone reads this, I probably most certainly DO need to go to the ER, but can hardly call that not a self-inflicted status.) I apologize to all of the people I traveled next to, all the workers who handled my luggage, and all the other non-targeted people at the hotel who I put in danger simply by being near. I apologize to everyone who was abused and/or murdered before this, to all those who suffered before I was able to attempt this, to all who may still suffer after, regardless of my success or failure. I don’t expect forgiveness, but if I could have seen any other way to get this close, I would have taken it. Again, my sincere apologies. On to why I did any of this: I am a citizen of the United States of America. What my representatives do reflects on me. And I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes. (Well, to be completely honest, I was no longer willing a long time ago, but this is the first real opportunity I’ve had to do something about it.) While I’m discussing this, I’ll also go over my expected rules of engagement (probably in a terrible format, but I’m not military so too bad.) Administration officials (not including Mr. Patel): they are targets, prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest Secret Service: they are targets only if necessary, and to be incapacitated non-lethally if possible (aka, I hope they’re wearing body armor because center mass with shotguns messes up people who *aren’t* Hotel Security: not targets if at all possible (aka unless they shoot at me) Capitol Police: same as Hotel Security National Guard: same as Hotel Security Hotel Employees: not targets at all Guests: not targets at all In order to minimize casualties I will also be using buckshot rather than slugs (less penetration through walls) I would still go through most everyone here to get to the targets if it were absolutely necessary (on the basis that most people *chose* to attend a speech by a pedophile, rapist, and traitor, and are thus complicit) but I really hope it doesn’t come to that. Rebuttals to objections: Objection 1: As a Christian, you should turn the other cheek. Rebuttal: Turning the other cheek is for when you yourself are oppressed. I’m not the person raped in a detention camp. I’m not the fisherman executed without trial. I’m not a schoolkid blown up or a child starved or a teenage girl abused by the many criminals in this administration. Turning the other cheek when *someone else* is oppressed is not Christian behavior; it is complicity in the oppressor’s crimes. Objection 2: This is not a convenient time for you to do this. Rebuttal: I need whoever thinks this way to take a couple minutes and realize that the world isn’t about them. Do you think that when I see someone raped or murdered or abused, I should walk on by because it would be “inconvenient” for people who aren’t the victim? This was the best timing and chance of success I could come up with. Objection 3: You didn’t get them all. Rebuttal: Gotta start somewhere. Objection 4: As a half-black, half-white person, you shouldn’t be the one doing this. Rebuttal: I don’t see anyone else picking up the slack Objection 5: Yield unto Caesar what is Caesar’s. Rebuttal: The United States of America are ruled by the law, not by any one or several people. In so far as representatives and judges do not follow the law, no one is required to yield them anything so unlawfully ordered. I would also like to extend my appreciation to a great many people since I will not be likely to be able to talk with them again (unless the Secret Service is *astoundingly* incompetent.) Thank you to my family, both personal and church, for your love over these 31 years. Thank you to my friends, for your companionship over many years. Thank you to my colleagues over many jobs, for your positivity and professionalism. Thank you to my students for your enthusiasm and love of learning. Thank you to the many acquaintances I’ve met, in person and online, for short interactions and long-term relationships, for your perspectives and inspiration. Thank you all for everything. Sincerely, Cole “coldForce” “Friendly Federal Assassin” Allen PS: Ok now that all the sappy stuff is done, what the hell is the Secret Service doing? Sorry, gonna rant a bit here and drop the formal tone. Like, I expected security cameras at every bend, bugged hotel rooms, armed agents every 10 feet, metal detectors out the wazoo. What I got (who knows, maybe they’re pranking me!) is nothing. No damn security. Not in transport. Not in the hotel. Not in the event. Like, the one thing that I immediately noticed walking into the hotel is the sense of arrogance. I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person there considers the possibility that I could be a threat. The security at the event is all outside, focused on protestors and current arrivals, because apparently no one thought about what happens if someone checks in the day before. Like, this level of incompetence is insane, and I very sincerely hope it’s corrected by the time this country gets actually competent leadership again. Like, if I was an Iranian agent, instead of an American citizen, I could have brought a damn Ma Deuce in here and no one would have noticed shit. Actually insane. Oh and if anyone is curious is how doing something like feels: it’s awful. I want to throw up; I want to cry for all the things I wanted to do and never will, for all the people whose trust this betrays; I experience rage thinking about everything this administration has done. Can’t really recommend it! Stay in school, kids." Source: New York Post

@KieranH79849146 @CardGameNomad How often do you actually sell the $500+ booster boxes at these toy fairs? And specifically to people who aren't also Investors and other vendors just looking to sell what they just bought

@CardGameNomad I do toy fairs all the time, kids are 100% still a huge part of this hobby. Can't speak on the future, but I can say that almost NO ONE is nostalgic for heart gold soul silver or black & white packs,but looks at the volume and pricing on those.

I could write a longer, drawn out tweet why Pokemon investing is dumb as your sole investing avenue, but I’ll just say this….. If you have $10k in modern sealed and hold it for 30 years, you will reach a point where most of it will not move. There will never be a customer base as large as the WOTC nostalgia boomers. As someone who works directly with kids, the amount of kids who have never heard of or considered checking out Pokemon as a franchise is low, meaning that the potential customer base to buy all the sealed being held today will be extremely limited. You will not have as many buyers for Evo Skies in 30 years as we do with WOTC, but the amount of it being kept sealed is probably 100x or more 🤷‍♂️

@TheFloppestra @TXMCtrades @wittlett This conversation has literally been had ad nauseum since League became mainstream.

@TXMCtrades @wittlett Yeah and they're all basically the same character with mild differences mostly related to items purchased but this is a conversation nobody is willing to have.

u ever think about how gaming has become so stupid that even league of legends is a Complicated Game but starcraft was something normal people played

@micah_erfan ⁷⁷⁷

You get to randomly call people slurs at work now because a guy did a crime in a red state. You heard it here first, folks.

Possibly the funniest shit a President has ever done. Unfortunate that he's evil.

@bungarsargon He's a grown man he can stand up for himself

When Texas Governor Greg Abbott was 26, he was paralyzed from the waist down. Rather than give up, he spent his life in public service to this nation—from his wheelchair. I am gobsmacked that a Congressmember would mock his disability, at a Human Rights Campaign event no less.

Incredibly funny if Trump takes away the Cuban Immigrant Fast Pass

@stepfanie Do you think they're gonna vandalize your car while you're in it you fucking moron?

oh you wanna key a swastica on my car?

President Xi, there has been a surprising wave of support. Now is the time to strike images.app.goo.gl/k9tnEuXGGR9uSS…

@_kdubya youtu.be/MZgBxVQIDuo?si… President Xi you may fire when ready

@haran_tom Tom we are COOKED

Lmao I knew it was bad but waking up to see Dems lost everything even the popular vote is crazy

If the Dem Party establishment succeeds in beating down the fresh leadership and bold vision that's stepping up, it will effectively enable the continued rise of authoritarianism. But they will not wake up and suddenly grasp this. It's on us to outmaneuver them and win.

@ElieNYC @willmenaker Grow up.
