Pokémon card pack/box opening has become a major thing recently for content creators (again). It started on YouTube with people like Logan Paul, but it recently made its way onto twitch as well. A lot of the older first edition packs have cards that sell for insane amounts of money. Perfect/PSA10 holo dark charizards are worth like 10-15k for example. Pretty much every card in these first edition packs are worth something, so streamers have been buying the first edition boxes that cost like 20-30k and opening all of the packs on stream. They usually make that money back from the stream itself so it’s not a big deal to them. Also recently sodapoppin trolled everyone and basically ruined many thousands worth of cards on stream with around 100k viewers. I think he even took a literal flame thrower to a holo dark charizard lmao. So all of the Pokémon box opening streamers are tilting over it. | ||

Yea I don't understand most twitch metas, but this is the weirdest one of them all. I guess the viewers get a dopamine boost watching them find super rare cards? I think the whole thing is boring as fuck, and honestly this is just about as scummy as the whole CSGO skin betting meta because these streamers make money regardless of whether their boxes have a positive return on investment or not. Meanwhile the viewers are convinced to start gambling on their own boxes/packs and lose money 99% of the time  | ||

+ Show Spoiler + I went for a hacking build and it gets pretty silly towards the endgame. I can clear entire areas from stealth by melting enemy brains/detonating their grenades/making them commit suicide, all from literally across the street without even entering the hostile area or even needing LoS. It's pretty funny but not exactly challenging. I think enemy netrunners need to be better equipped to slow/stop your hacking until you deal with them. The enemy ai can't really respond to you hacking them through walls from a block away, so the challenge becomes pretty trivial | ||
