Damn… well, at least it’s one option marked off the list. Hope you’re able to find it again some day!

Big Thinkers (video game series) - Wikipedia

The only thing that comes to mind for me is the “Big Thinker” games from ‘97? Never played them myself, but that’s what I thought of right away.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Thi...

Sadly, don’t have an x account anymore, so I’ll just have to try and keep my eyes on it. Thanks for the advice and info though~! I’ll relay the same to him in the hopes one of us will catch something~

My partner is crying at how beautiful they are, and I'm now somewhat tempted to try and collect whatever set he's not collecting... How long ago was the pre-order for these guys, and how much am I going to cry trying to get them?

Well, thank goodness then that I'm only an old white man, as I'll echo that the Clone Wars era is my favorite~

... Though truthfully I don't know as much as I'd like about it, as I haven't been able to dive deep into it in years...

Well shit... Now I feel like I should probably buy anything that I come across, which I know only makes the problem even worse for others OTL

Really hope Pokemon gets their act together and just puts the printing presses in overdrive soon. Not like they'd lose any money over it...

This set too!?! My gawd... My boyfriend will never be able to catch a break, as he first wanted to collect the new prismatic evolutions set, then 151 since it was being reprinted, and then decided on this one because of the ninetails in it... Every one of those sets are suddenly just gone everywhere

Rip Dauntless. Loved playing the game since beta; missing the alpha by days. Played almost daily up until maybe a year ago when they stopped putting out content cosmetic wise. Then with their most recent update, they were doomed to fail… Will really miss the game; hoping for private servers.

Listen I know shit sucks but PLEASE find the things that make you happy and keep doing them.

It is not frivolous. It is how you survive.

Nice! Not sure what ones he has left, but all I’m missing is Black 2, and Heart Gold~ don’t have boxes for most of them though.

And yeah; that’s what has me thinking about collecting again since they’re cheeper. Actually found a sealed Jap Jungle pack in a box of cards and wonder what I should do.

I decided to do that with the mainline Pokémon cartridges, and I’m down to two left… and then I started thinking “what about the Japanese ones too? They’re cheeper than the English ones.” Lol. Think you’ll just do English or any interest in other languages?

I've been out of the game for a long time, but my boyfriend is trying to collect them now... It blows my mind how bad the scalping is and bad the product deployment is. I went to three tabletop shops and all 3 said they don't do pre-orders anymore because they never get what they ask for anymore.

watch out for this! for folks who don't know:

- windows+R opens the run window which lets you run any program
- ctrl+V pastes

so this puts some malicious command on your clipboard, then convinces you to run it yourself. don't.

And sadly, all I was met with was “preorders are full” or “we don’t do them anymore due to limited stock”… so looks like extra waiting or scalpers if he wants them asap.

Sadly I haven't logged in there for a long while, and don't really plan to since I barely use Bluesky lol. But thanks! I'll have to hit up my local gamestop and see what I can do... Probably hit up the local tabletop games shop too and see if they'd sell for msrp. Fingers crossed!

So thanks to this comment I only just learned about the new set, and my boyfriend is really going to want that etb... where were you able to preorder at msrp if I may ask? I've been out of the buying new cards game for quite some time... Haven't collected since the Black and White sets...

Damn. Glad you don't have to worry about that as then they'd probably want you to retroactively pay all of the fees that weren't paid, but that's about the extent of my knowledge about it. I do hope that you're able to figure out what's going on!

Elves in general are always competitive feeling xD My squirrel deck is just a modified version of the Bloomburrow precon, but it was fun to play the other night. It got stomped every time, and I sort of know what I need to swap around to make it work better, but it was pretty fun over all~

I don't, but my first guess is if someone sent you funds and labeled it as "Friends and Family" instead of something business related, it doesn't get added in to that document. Happened to my stepfather but the other way around; his kids were sending him their parts of the rent, but not as family.

Well I'm going to try me some Commander tonight with people I've (mostly) never met before! I'm terrified 8D

But I remember it over all being fun with friends, so I hope it's not a competitive bunch and that my deck doesn't come across as competitive... Playing a Black/Green Squirrel deck lol

Planning on going out and being social after work today in a public social setting... I literally haven't done this since late 2019....

And it's to play Magic: The Gathering... a card game that I haven't played properly since 2006-ish.....

I'm sure everything will be fiiiiiiiiine~

Oh trust me; I’m feeling the burn xD; It’s why I haven’t streamed anything in basically 3 months now, as even though I kinda have my weekends back, all I want to do is just lay back and relax. Doing what I can to keep myself cared for otherwise though.

Dude if you get art for free from an artist friend, that shit is a gem. Like, treasure it, because that time and effort went 100% into making you happy.

Don't take it for granted, man. And please, for the love of god, don't like... abuse that relationship.

I still have my Coco Kitty plushie from Gaia, as I wanted it in order to cosplay as my avatar at a convention they were going to. First time I ever dressed up for a convention.

Some day my hours will go back to normal… but it’s not looking like it will for a while…

… but at least I’ll get a good chunk of my debt paid off due to the overtime. That’s a good thing, right? XD

My hat off to those that work more than 8 hours a day… I say again: I’ve been working every day since the 11th for anywhere between 10 and 14 hours a day with a one hour drive in one direction… Stuff is hella rough and I wish this pain/stress on no one.

I love my artist friends. I love artists. I love art.
