It just bugs me because everyone does it

There are literally hundreds of fangames out there that never get touched. The only thing they care about is if you start asking for money.

I know it's just a little thing but how do people constantly mix up TPC and TPCi even within the same post, they're not the same thing at all

I mean if you actually read the chart, it looks like the MLB problem comes down to one owner. Who is that owner?

What do you have against Abilities specifically

That sounds like more repetitive gameplay. Just because the card name is different doesn't mean the gameplay is better.

How does that make the game better? Less online whining isn't an answer.

I think it's a necessary evil for the game to work as it does. It would be a very different game without Boss and I don't think it would be for the better. Boss allows them to print good abilities on liability Pokemon, to make spread and control more viable strategies (yes, I know most people don't like them very much, but the game is better for them existing), and to make the decision on which Supporter to use more meaningful. Yes, the single play pattern of "dig for Boss for game" can feel repetitive, but I think the game before that point is more interesting.

I loved the gray as a kid, United was my favorite airline, now I wouldn't fly them if the alternative was to walk

I haven't seen any pointed ones in a long time. But as I said, they're hard to see, so it's possible I guess

Every accusation is a confession

But they don't have any consequences. They come out of the general fund. The cops doing this shit face zero consequences whatsoever.

It's almost like it's much better for the team when the people in charge are working towards long-term success rather than just trying to keep their jobs for next year or next week

They're rounded rods that pop up occasionally, but go such a small distance that the commentators never notice them. I wish they used them more, would be nice to see a break from the constant ground-scraping meta.

Yup. Fox succeeded because of football, their good scripted shows didn't have that much to do with it.

They also didn't have 5-ish hours of TV a week

Nah, Bischoff theme for sure

Calling a judge is never "cheating". If you're not sure about something, you can and should always talk to a judge. Yes, the opponent should have done it immediately. But nothing about this is sharking or cheating.

I mean the modern WWE is quite possibly the most "leashed" wrestling promotion in history. What is he going to do that someone higher up in TKO couldn't easily just slap down and shitcan him?

It's the people that make Pocket, the app, but, contrary to popular belief, almost certainly not the people that make the cards. Creatures is credited in Pocket for a reason.

It happens. Practice will certainly help. Ultimately, even if it is a "real tournament", it's OK if stuff happens at a challenge. You'll do better next time :)

I think that being part of a system of any kind is inherently a kind of dissociation. It involves thoughts, ideas, up to actions that aren't "you". But in terms of dissociating from memories, from long periods of time, etc, that does seem to be less common in endogenic systems.

Sealed or other limited formats can be a fun break from just playing whatever the standard format is constantly. But yeah it's probably also trying to get the pack opening fiends via the algorithm or whatever

A challenge is a real tournament. If you make mistakes, and you did, the correct response is to call a judge immediately. Yes, if you are playing in a serious tournament, you need to not make mistakes. If you didn't see the cards probably nothing would happen, but you need to be careful. And if you're not sure, then you should call a judge, even if it was you that made the mistake.

Challenges have actual prizes and affect qualifying to the world championships.
