Rainbow charizard vmax price4/11/2024 I think they think it's the only way they'll sell their products anymore, having ungodly amounts of quantity with little to no quality. ![]() I love collecting Charizard, I'm guilty of that and I'm sure you and everyone here knows that but even I can agree it's gotten to a ridiculous point, and it really boils down to one thing: Oversaturation. ![]() While normally I don't care as much anymore because I have other, better hobbies and the first 6 generations of the TCG to enjoy anyways, I do want to mention again what I've been saying about the modern TCG. It's 100% Scalpers and TCG stores artificially inflating the price of this card and it's the worst example of it I've ever seen. That's like if they sold the Megas from flashfire for hundreds each even though they were just as easy to get as any other card in the set. It's not that hard to pull comparatively, it's not a secret rare, there's not an astronomically low chance of getting it like say, the Shiny one from HF. Charizard VMAX's price is another dumpster fire, and I have no idea why it's so much money. I want those alternate art Tag Teams a LOT more than I want anything in this set besides the one card.Ĭlick to expand.I couldn't ever bring myself to spend hundreds on a single of a stupid rainbow card, so I just don't bother. It especially disappoints me as a special set because Tag All Stars, like you said exists. It puts me in a weird rut where it's like, sure I want this but I'm not going to waste my time and money on a set I don't care about otherwise. ![]() It's not like Hidden Fates where at least there was a lot of stuff to want out of it, it's just another boring SwSh set that happens to have a chase card. I'm probably not going to deal with it unless they print enough of this set to go and easily pick it up (hint, they won't). I don't care about its themes, being "relive your epic journey through Galar and all these characters you love!" because I sure don't care about anything from that game, and so I'm just kind of in a rut with it. And while I'd like to own the Shiny one at least, I think it's a nice looking card and I want it as a Zard collector, I have no desire to get anything Champion's Path otherwise, because I don't care about this messily-thrown together set. The rainbow rares are dumb and shouldn't have ever existed, though. ![]() It also makes me wonder why this practice is still enabled? Are the Charizard fans even happy having to spend hundreds of dollars on one card every few months? How are they not saturated with super and ultra rare Charizard cards after 20? And the fanatics and/or scalpers have created a fantasia moment at this point where even cards that are not that rare and definitely not playable like Darkness Ablaze Charizard VMAX are selling for $100 for what reason?Ĭlick to expand.I don't have a problem with most of the Charizards existing, visually I enjoy a lot of the ones that have recently come out. This one is particularly egregious because a) there are two of them and b) the rest of the set is god awful, scraped together from random Japanese filler when they could have just as easily given us the rest of the Tag All Stars cards as a distraction. Do they have no faith in their products to sell anymore? This is the fifth set in the last year and a half, within the last eight expansions in general, to rely on a super shiny Charizard to keep the rest of the set afloat. That said, the Charizard mania is really beginning to frustrate me. With everything going on in the world today, it feels pretty tone deaf of me to come on here and nerd rage about a collectible card game.

Swimmer's itch rash pictures4/10/2024 Whether you’re dealing with a heat rash or a sun rash and aren’t sure what to do, you can seek out urgent care at an OSF OnCall Urgent Care or OSF PromptCare clinic or go online and connect with a board-certified advanced practice provider at OSF OnCall. when the sun is most intense.” Seek urgent care “Protect your skin with clothing and wear a wide-brimmed hat. The microscopic parasites responsible for swimmer's itch contaminate fresh and saltwater after being. “The key to sun rash is prevention by using sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 and to reapply the sunscreen every two hours or more often if you’re swimming or perspiring,” Melinda said. This allergic reaction is also known as cercarial dermatitis, which develops as a skin rash. If you have increased pain, fever, swelling or redness, you may have an infection and should seek urgent care, she said. “If you have blisters, keep them clean and dry to help to prevent infection.” Swimmers Itch, also called cercarial dermatitis, appears as a skin rash caused by an allergic reaction to microscopic parasites that are released from snails into fresh and salt water. “Over-the-counter aloe vera or anti-itch ointments can be helpful. Cool compresses or a cool bath can provide itch relief,” Melinda said. Most sun rashes will resolve on its own within 10-14 days, she said. If the burn is severe, some patients may feel nauseated or feverish.” Treatment First, wash your body with clean water to try to remove any lingering traces of chlorine, Dr. “Normally it shows within hours of the sun exposure. There are a few things you can do to get relief. “It usually presents as a red, itchy rash that groups together and it can feel like it is burning,” Melinda said. “Stick to pools or clean bodies of water and you and your loved ones will be safe from the pesky swimmer’s itch.Sun rash starts in areas where the skin is exposed to sunlight. ![]() Normally, the blood flukes infect a bird or mammal by burrowing into these animals’ skin. These tiny parasites are released from infected snails into fresh and salt water such as lakes, ponds, and ocean bays. “These last weeks of summer should be filled with fun and not a trip to the walk-in clinic,” said Zamora. Swimmers Itch (Cercarial or Schistosomal Dermatitis) Swimmer’s itch is an allergic reaction to a small parasite called a blood fluke. Should you develop swimmer’s itch with a fever, rapidly spreading rash, severe itching despite the use of steroid creams, or persistent symptoms lasting longer than two weeks, medical attention is necessary. To help prevent the parasites from entering the skin, Zamora recommends adults and children thoroughly dry off with a clean towel and if possible rinse off after swimming. This type of rash occurs when the skin comes into direct contact with a foreign substance that causes an adverse reaction, leading to. “The more exposures you experience, the quicker the onset of its symptoms.” Contact dermatitis is one of the most common causes of rashes. “Because swimmer’s itch is an allergic reaction to the parasite, itching and a rash may be more severe with repetitive infections,” she explained. Zamora, assistant professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston, stresses the best course of action after you develop an infection is to not revisit that particular body of water. Allergy medicines are helpful to reduce incessant itching. Treatment for swimmer’s itch can be as simple as over-the-counter steroid creams or a paste made from baking soda and water. These effects last for approximately one week and gradually fade. ![]() A rash will develop on the exposed areas, followed by itching, burning, and the appearance of small red spots. Symptoms from an infection can arise within a few hours after being exposed. “It’s best to avoid bodies of water that appear cloudy or have a thin layer of film on top.” Zamora, MD, family medicine expert with UT Physicians. Also known as cercarial dermatitis, swimmer's itch is most common in freshwater lakes and ponds, but it occasionally occurs in salt water. “Shallow or marshy waters have the highest risk of carrying parasites,” shared Elena N. AugSwimmer's itch is an itchy rash that can occur after you go swimming or wading outdoors. The parasites are less likely to be found in salt water and cannot live in a properly chlorinated pool. How severe the rash is may vary for people exposed to the same. It often appears outside the bathing suit. The rash looks like reddish bumps on the skin. A parasite is an animal or plant that lives in or on another animal or plant (called the host). Typically, swimmer’s itch is contracted after spending time in freshwater lakes and ponds. Swimmers itch is a rash caused by an allergic reaction to the larvae of certain parasites.

Nier automata 2b polygon count ass4/10/2024 ![]() Moving from the super serious to the super cute, we come to the NanaOn-Sha series of rhythm games which includes Parappa the Rapper and UmJammer Lammy. He’s basically the way we all wish Ganondorf played in smash. Zeus’s playstyle remains unchanged from the first game (aside from balance adjustments). (Yes, this game will have a cinematic Story Mode). Teaming up with the mad devil, the two plan to resurrect the Polygon Man and claim the power he can give for themselves. This included Zeus’s soul being transported from Hades to Calypso’s Hell. After an accidental synchronization of the Time Station from Ape Escape and the Time Twister from Crash Bandicoot, many universes began to synchronize. In this state he plays exactly like the first game but without his down special counter.Īlso from the God of War series we have a returning Zeus. His circle moves (specials) are his gauntlet powers, while his down special switches his weapon to the Blades of Chaos. His triangle moves (speed of a normal attack but with something other than the main weapon) are him calling for attacks from Atreus and his bow, but this isn’t like Ice Climbers and the two cannot be KO’d separately. ![]() His square moves (neutrals) would revolve around his leviathan axe. He sets off with Atreus to the Stadium to find the source of this power and destroy it, lest a familiar evil rise again. He realizes that when he equips his Blades of Chaos, he can mysteriously use all of his discarded Olympian weapons. The narrative goes that Kratos is hunting with Atreus when a strange magic comes over him as they fight a group of monsters. I didn’t want to lose this, but I also wanted to recognize the new installment. His appearance in the last game was Pre-PS4 and based around his moves from those games. We begin with the God of War series and its head honcho, Kratos. Each character will also have story elements which I will try to detail as I can. Some will get gameplay revisions which I will detail. There’s only like 20 to begin with and I think my additions will more than make up for a few of them. And I’m not cutting ANYONE from the first game. Starting out, I’m going to go franchise by franchise detailing the characters I picked and how I see them playing. ![]() More characters to pick, more items to use, more stages to fight on. The only thing that really needs to be changed is… more things to do in the game. It’s very different from Smash and I think it’s mostly fine the way it is. You also have items to use just like in smash, which range from status effects on your opponent (stunning, health leaching, movement speed alterations) to damage dealers that spawn orbs which ANYONE can pick up to increase their meter. The Level 3 move takes the longest to charge and varies between ultra powerful attacks to screen nukes, but in the time, it takes to charge up you could get killed yourself. Your level two generally involves some sort of transformation or timed attack that has a wide AOE. Generally, your Level One super is easy to charge up but has a high chance of missing. This offers a different kind of strategy from smash as every super for every character is quite different and needs to be considered when planning your strategy. Second of all, instead of racking up damage to launch oponants off of the screen, your objective is to build up your super meter by keeping up high combos and staying un-hit, until you are ready to unleash one of your three super moves to kill your oponant. First of all, is has 3 attack buttons and one jump button (instead of Smash’s redundant two of each). With a few key differences to make it distinct. PlayStation All-Stars is, much like smash, a platform fighter in which iconic characters jump and battle around various themed stages. I think it turned out a better roster) If you want to know about Stages or Items, please let me know.įirst a brief overview of the gameplay of the first one, and what alterations will be made. I decided not to focus on how difficult licensing would be and instead just make a roster to try to please the PlayStation fan base. (Also, I know I have a ton of third-party characters. I will be going over the entire roster, so get ready for a long one. A sequel to the infamous game “PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale”. ![]() And I’m here to talk to you today about my design for PlayStation All-Stars Stadium.

Memory bear free printable pattern4/10/2024 ![]() The only thing that was missing was that for most pieces when you cut 2, they should be mirror-image. The pattern had all the pattern pieces well labelled. Sewing a Memory Bear – Sewing Pattern Review You have successfully joined our subscriber list. ![]() The pattern makes a 12-inch bear, sitting, but more importantly, it had a nice-looking face. I ended up choosing a pattern I found on Etsy – the Stuffed Teddy Bear Pattern by BL Handmade. It has to have the right proportions and look just right. I also wasn’t a big fan of how many of them looked. I wanted something smaller and so that limited my search immensely. The majority of them were quite big – 18 inches seated, which seemed to be the standard size. Perhaps I’m really fussy, but it was hard to find a pattern that I liked. So I went on a quest to find the perfect pattern. Free is always good, but I can’t say I was thrilled with how it turned out.

Memory bears can be made from woven or knitted fabrics. I used Pellon 403 interfacing, a standard fusible interfacing. The pattern suggests using cotton as a lining, but I found that interfacing was perfectly fine. ![]() I chose to interface all of the pieces to add stability and to prevent stretching while I sewed the memory bear.

She no longer sleeps in the crib and so the fitted crib sheet has now been upcycled into something new that she can keep with her. It can also be baby items that your child has outgrown.įor Luke’s cousin, I was asked to make a memory bear out of a beautiful crib sheet. Sometimes, it is in the memory of a passed loved one – you could take that person’s clothing and make a memory bear. What is a Memory Bear? What is it Made From?Ī memory bear is the repurposing of an item into a bear. I was asked to make another memory bear, this time for Luke’s cousin. It was constructed from Luke’s father’s clothing.
