Creating the Pokédex binder of IRs has been quite nice since many of the cards have dropped to less than $4 each

Tried to wire money between my accounts

Wire doesn’t go through
I lose online access to my bank account

Now sitting through multiple phone calls and having to make a trip to the bank while they call multiple departments

@Hellaorganics Most don’t take it, but it has a niche at the mega high end vintage

[Tafo @tafokints]

I didn’t realize that Initial D, Maximum Tune, and all of the Time crisis games are emulatable now

[Tafo @tafokints]

@TreyTheTrashman Honestly, yes, but feel like the average bar watcher is going to pick Iverson

In a redraft of the 1996 NBA draft for 2026 teams, and assuming Kobe goes first, Who do you pick 2nd in the draft?

My new random Pokemon related RNG “gacha”

Buying legacy reverse holos on Tcgplayer and praying they arrive as the condition stated

[Tafo @tafokints]

@PremiumGoblin I think the signatures and high end cards are very collectible.

The game itself is also very good

[Tafo @tafokints]

Hot take:

Lots of good investments are just a product of having RNG on your side.

Never knew my Gengar collection would be worth a down payment and I’m not going to pretend I had a magical repeatable formula.

I am just a naive Pokemon collector that likes Gengar

If I were able to promise 10x gains in 4 year time spans, then I’d be the greatest VC investor of all time

[Tafo @tafokints]

@LyalinDotCom @ThomasBurkhartB Time to build you an agent that filters other people's agents

[Tafo @tafokints]

Kinda wild the # of people asking me if they should take Credit Card debt and loans to buy Pokemon Cards

While I can't really give financial advice, but like, don't be stupid

[Tafo @tafokints]

Was thinking about finally updating my PC after nearly a decade, then I saw graphics and ram prices

[Tafo @tafokints]

@regularpikachu IIRC, he doesn't have the $$ or healthcare to have one. His past caretakers were people from the esports / smash scene such as MVG

[Tafo @tafokints]

I’m not sure why people are blaming m2k’s roommate for all of this. The roommate is likely just a random person that is providing extra help, driving him around, and prepping food - likely going above and beyond what most roommates would be willing to do

[Tafo @tafokints]

@princesshyruIe @HugS86 He was the server, so you got all the smashers

[Tafo @tafokints]

Your melee og card is showing if you know everyone here

[Tafo @tafokints]

My all time favorite cards (based on art)

1.) Bubble Mew
2.) CD Promo Blastoise
3.) Neo Genesis Typhlosion 17
4.) Dragon’s exalted full art mew
5.) Skyridge Gengar

@Schabilionaire @idkmanwow @_RoseWhip_ @brianorsomethin I also extended the offer to the games that you “claimed” to be good at. Just to set the facts straight

You also mentioned you’d beat me in Melee, so just going off of what you said, not mine. Figure since you’re so intelligent, that I’d point that out

[Tafo @tafokints]

Note: most of the time I’m way friendlier but this cat is double-tripling down and avoiding the core thing, so yes I’m going to troll a bit

[Tafo @tafokints]

All I want is the $5K match, haha. Anyway going back to my wife and kid. Enjoy whatever you’re doing on this lovely Saturday

[Talos @Schabilionaire]

It's sad to watch people who once got thousands of views playing games drop down to 30 because they got old and bitter 😔 they lash out to try and remain relevant and it's sorta pathetic. They clearly invested their entire identity into it and now they just dont matter
