I saw it was super rent boost, decided to try to get my ads done. I got 1 done before the game crashed. Even if it isnt the fault of Atlas Earth, something has to be done. I WANT TO DO MY ADS! I WANT TO PLAY ATLAS! I cant!

Enhanced... AT LEAST!

I was one my way to work early this morning with 25 minutes to spare, so i thought I would grab a breakfast sandwich. The line was 5 cars deep, but i decided to try and order anyways. They took my order, i moved up slightly and waited. After 6 minutes of nobody moving, I just bailed. Friend at work said I should have known better and basically called me an asshole for ordering when I didnt have time. I believe in 6 minutes, someone should have at least moved and my brain was telling me I was going to he late for work. So, AITA? Should I have just not even tried?

Now, I introduced her to pokemon cards at about 6. She was fast to learn the rules, and we used to play quite a bit over a whole summer. We made our own version where there was my son and daughter and I would play all at once, 3 decks, all against each other. They always teamed up on me, allowing me to play alot rougher on them but I still mostly lost. Lol

Fast forward a few years, Ive got all these cards and they really arent interested in playing the game the way it was meant to be played, so I got an idea.

We separated all cards with 100hp or less into a pile, drew 7 cards and had to match them by HP or type. Each turn, we drew a new card, and had to discard into a discard pile laid out like you would in rummy. It was a big hit! Weve been playing with cards i havent even looked at in years. Those cards most of us dont really touch once theyre out of the pack. We did it for about 2 hours and I could tell they were having a blast.

I only felt like sharing this because I know I cant be the only one saddened by how pokemon cards are becoming more and more about investment and less and less about what it was not only intendid for, but what I remember it being when i was a kid in the 90's. Not worried about the value of every card I owned and not afraid to play with even some of my holographics if it meant beating my friends at school.

There are more than 1 way to play cards. And who knows, maybe getting some of them to catch on will be a way to pass our spin on the fondness we have remembering playing cards as kids. Not just hunting for those top tier cards, but enjoying all of them.
