I reccomand Shame (2011) directed by Steve McQueen. Michael Fassbender is in the movie. Just a warning it's one of the most sexually explicit movies I seen in a long time. The acting all around is fantastic and the cinematography is outstanding
This movie is a masterpiece. It's not for everyone but man. I'll add that the soundtrack and score are great as well.

I had a solid Christmas. Spent it with family, though my sister’s family wasn’t able to visit cause they all got sick. But I was just over their house last night making gingerbread houses with my nieces.

(that’s supposed to say poop, but the icing was drippy and awful lol)

Got some cool gifts. Got this Canadian tabletop bar game called crokinole, which I’ve wanted for years. It’s like a combination of shuffleboard and snooker almost. My uncle got me and my fiancée a nice set of stainless steel pots and pans, which I desperately wanted.

My parents bought me a really nice workbench for our house, which I also really needed. And a bunch of other bits and bobs here and there, a lot of really thoughtful and fun gifts.

I got my toddler nephews a bunch of fun toys. My nieces will open their gifts on Friday when they feel better. Got my dad a new iPhone and my mom some fun stuff and some religious stuff. Got my uncle security cameras, which I’ll probably help him set up in a couple days.

And my mom made raviolis, and we had endless desserts, beer, and wine. Overall a great Christmas.

I’m hosting a Christmas party for my friends in a few days, and I still need to get most of them gifts lol.

And of course I kept checking GAF throughout the day to see what everyone was up to. Solid day. 🍻

have been simulating Pokemon card pull rates to get an idea of how many packs i'd need to buy to get a chance of getting the card i bought on ebay

iu


each pack is going for ~£19 and i started at x50 (£950). the card didn't appear once. the card sells for £1,350-2,000 for a graded 10 (perfect/flawless/pristine condition).

x100 / £1,900 = 0 (100% loss*)
x150 / £2,850 = 0 (100% loss)
x300 / £5,700 = 0 (100% loss)
x400 / £7,600 = 0 (100% loss)
x500 / £9,500 = 1 (£7,500-£8,150 loss)
x750 / £14,250 = 0 (100% loss)
x1000 / £19,000 = 0 (100% loss)
x2000 / £38,000 = 1 (£36,000-36,650 loss)
x4000 / £76,000 = 1 (£74,000-£74,650 loss)

I'm not gonna simulate anymore of this card because it is taking way too long now lol but yeah that's how rare it is. *You could lose tens of thousands to get just 1 or none of this card!

The most recent english expansion's chase card is this:

iu


a pack cost ~£4.50 if you can find it in stock. the card sells for £600-700 for a graded 10

x50 / £225 = 1 (£375-475 profit*)
x100 / £450 = 2 (£750-950 profit)
x150 / £675 = 3 (£1,125-1,425 profit)
x300 / £1,350 = 3 (£450-750 profit)
x400 / £1,800 = 6 (£1,800-2,400 profit)
x500 / £2,250 = 7 (£1,950-2,650 profit)
x750 / £3,375 = 14 (£5,025-6,425 profit)
x1000 / £4,500 = 8 (£300-£1,100 profit)
x2000 / £9,000 = 20 (£3,000-5,000 profit)
x4000 / £18,000 = 40 (£6,000-10,000 profit)

i actually bought x70 packs of this expansion and didn't get the card. i felt like i could have opened another 100 and still not get it so i bought it on ebay. going by those rates it's actually cheaper (*potentially profitable) to buy packs.

edit: i suck at numbers so probably made a mistake somewhere lol
