It annoys me that GameStop charges 4x MSRP for Pokémon cards when they get all their product at distributor prices. But it really irks me that the Pokémon Company is still giving GameStop exclusive stamped cards and exclusive product when they continually do this shit. 🙄
It's sad I used to get excited about these reveals. Now it just makes me depressed because it means this set will be scalped into oblivion by scum resellers and investment chuds. The soul from this hobby has genuinely been sucked dry by awful people.
I truly despise what pokemon tcg has become. Secondary market bullshit, pumps & investor bros have ruined what was supposed to just be a fun, wholesome game & hobby. I've worked at a lgs for the past 6 years & pokemon cards have just become dreadful to deal with lol
THE AUTISTIC URGE TO NOT REGISTER RED FLAGS AS RED FLAGS BECAUSE YOU’RE SO USED TO PEOPLE MISINTERPRETING YOUR HARMLESS BEHAVIOURS AND YOU DON’T WANT TO DO THAT TO ANYONE ELSE, SO YOU GO OVERBOARD TRYING TO FIND ACCEPTABLE EXPLANATIONS FOR OTHER PEOPLE’S UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOUR.
the funniest part of replacing receptionists with AI will be realizing nobody actually documented half the things jessica the front desk person just magically handled every day.
AO3 is not social media, it's a library. Fanfic is not content, it's a hobby. Fic writers are not published authors who should stay out of fan spaces. They ARE fans. Fic readers are not clients or customers, they're fellow fans. The sooner people realise all that, the better.
