What's with the angry rhetoric all the sudden? I'm guessing that the actual cost of purchasing a Nintendo Switch is what makes it difficult to get into Competitive in Sword & Shield? It makes sense I get it but I've seen other people where I play at my Local Game Store (LGS) have their own...

I already told myself that I'm officially done with the Mainline Pokémon games after Sword & Shield and my opinion hasn't changed since. As much as I want to be really excited for Scarlet & Violet I'm gonna have to give these new games a hard pass especially with what I suspect Nintendo / Game...

The reason why I brought this up is because I've been recently noticing a shift in behavior with the way Nintendo / Game Freak have been designing Mainline Pokémon games as of late especially with Brilliant Diamond / Shining Pearl and Legends: Arceus. The fact that the Pokémon you catch in these...

Whether If it's the Nipah Virus, another global pandemic after COVID-19 is very much likely going to happen in the near future due to habitat destruction and disease vectors introduced during said destruction like with the Global Meat Trade and Wet Meat Markets killing animals on-site without...

Scientists are now warning that the brain-swelling Nipah virus that's 75 times more deadly than COVID-19 could mutate to become the next global pandemic, should we be worried...

One thing that's come to my attention in the light of this pandemic is that most Paper Trading Card Games / Collectible Card Games outside of MTG are too competitive based as they don't really have their own dedicated casual format like MTG does with EDH / Commander while still having to rely...

That's right, it took months and the theory was only around since early July but there seems to have been drastic confirmation by Summit that COVID-19 works in a VERY unusual way we didn't initially expect. The best news: we already have the drugs tested and approved that can stop it from...

People in general are sad that they're not able to get away with the stuff they used to be able to say without someone calling them out on it on Twitter or anywhere else. That's what all this whining about Politically Correct / Cancel Culture is all about. They're used to getting away with it...

Just seems like no matter what message board forum I post on nowadays I'm not welcome anywhere anymore. I can't even have a conversation online without someone getting triggered by something I said that easily offends them because they're too thin skinned. We've become so sensitive about the...

I've actually been blessed with a part-time job at a grocery store chain I've had for 17 years that's allowed me to have days off on the weekends as well as on Tuesdays so that I'm able to play my favorite Trading Card Games / Collectible Card Games at the Local Game Stores (LGSs) within my...

I don't know what I said to piss you off when I was just wondering how often players continued to support their Local Game Stores (LGSs) so they actually have a physical place to play instead of being forced to play online. Everyone has their own preference of how they want to play their...

Well keep in the mind the most important thing to remember is that while a Local Game Store (LGS) might not always be able to sell you cards, they will always sell you an experience you'll never find from big box retailers like Walmart and Target and that's community. That's why In-Store Play is...

Does your LGS have an online presence via e-commerce like an eBay store or being partnered up with TCGPlayer by any chance cause that could be a major factor as to why the business isn't running as smoothly. Of course there's other factors pertaining to an LGSs success such as geography...

Sadly I think we're all severely underestimating the possibility of another future pandemic similar to what we've already experienced with COVID-19. Even with a vaccine or proven treatment methods, social distancing protocols will still linger long after. Even with COVID-19 under control, how...

I don't think this question gets raised enough though I am a bit curious. Before the COVID-19 Pandemic I've always tried to support my Local Game / Hobby Stores once every weekend. I have been buying more on TCGPlayer than I have on eBay since the proceeds go directly toward Local Game / Hobby...

What I should've said earlier was to avoid future lockdowns and have plans in place to minimize the death toll of the next pandemic at the top of our priority list moving forward. I would like to think COVID-19 is a once in a generation event similar to the 1918 Spanish Flu but given the...

Look I apologize If I came off as being racist toward Chinese people when that wasn't my original intent. It's just that we're living in chaotic times right now where there's so much mass hysteria going on at a time when people want more clarity and truth where there's so much negativity within...

That's what I don't understand about the whole "criticism = racism" argument that people are going on about when it comes to the Chinese Government's involvement with this situation as well as the World Health Organization. I get what you're saying in regards to how dangerous it is turning the...

Well speaking of Asian countries that managed to eradicate COVID-19 without a vaccine, Japan somehow managed to contain the virus enough to where there's only been 50 confirmed cases thus far unless the number's gone up recently. Taiwan seems like they were doing pretty good for awhile until...
