It’s not that I want Reddit to support violence, it’s that I want Reddit to support free speech

It’s not being abandoned by my friends, it’s not having a way to explain the situation. That’s why I’ve made sure most of them add me on Telegram and Steam

When I was banned from Reddit I was devestated, thankfully I’ve come to see it as a blessing in disguise since I’m on lemmy now.

I didn’t have friends on Reddit, I do on Discord though, so if Discord became ban happy I doubt I’d reach the same conclusion

Indeed, especially since both (Reddit more than Discord admittedly) give out blanket bans on a whim and that means being blocked off from the modern internet, the stakes are too damn high.

Though what do they mean “Disappearing”, isn’t this like pulling the alarm because you just learned “There’s not that many dinosaurs left”

This is the best ad campaign Jellyfin could have asked for.

Sadly Reddit has been toeing the line and has been banning any accounts for “threatening violence” for any support of Luigi no matter how peaceful or non-violent or ANY criticism of Elon The Musky Husky

Heck even before my account was banned I was warned for “advocating violence” just for saying “It’s understandable to wanna punch Nazis”

Good boi

And that’s why I’m excited for Early Days, to play in a format where you can’t do that.

See normally, you can summon ONE Monster, use as many Spell Cards as you have, or set (Put them on the field face down) Spell or Trap cards to use later… Maybe even set a spell card that doesn’t actually do anything relevant at any real juncture to bluff your opponent and make them think that you put down some deadly trap that will activate if they do the wrong thing.

But hold on, you can use cards that SPECIAL Summon a monster and that doesn’t count against your summoning of ONE Monster… but when only a couple of rarer spells or Effect Monsters do that and only under special conditions it’s not a problem…

But then you keep printing cards that let you Special Summon, then you make cards that when Special Summoned allow you to put them back in your hand and summon something from your deck in its place.

Oh and also you can “Link two monsters together” to Synchro-Summon a third stronger monster from your extra deck, which counts as a Special Summon and thus isn’t using your ONE normal summon…

Basically: The rules were fair, but… then they KEPT printing stronger and stronger cards without any concern for how to balance the game…

Personally I gave up when Normal Monsters more or less stop being printed and Effect Monsters stopped being this “Once in a blue moon, you’ll get a monster that does something special… Maybe if it you flip it over it kills a monster or restores life points, maybe it has a low summon cost BUT the effect forces you to pay a different kind of cost to make up for it ?”, and started being more “Every monster will wildly change the rules of the game and let you do two or three things.”

And Konami is such an incompetent company that Pot of Greed (a card that lets you… draw two cards… and nothing else) is this super evil card that must be banned at all costs (yet they keep making support cards that require being played in conjunction with Pot of Greed in order to do anything… so… figure that one out) and never allowed to see the light of day…

But a card like Exoddius The Ultimate Forbidden Lord that has no cost to play, counts as a special summon, completely empties my graveyard, revives EVERY monster that was inside of it and puts them back in my deck (giving me amazing levels of card advantage), that gains 1000 attack power for every monster in my graveyard is just fine…

See it’s fine because my graveyard was emptied, so Exoddius only has 0 Attack power to start with and isn’t going to live very long unless I do something clever…

Is what I’d say if there weren’t like 500 cards that just automatically let me do overpowered shit that makes my turn take even longer, for the cost of… weak cards that actually are an advantage to me when killed not only because Exoddius gets a boost from their deaths… but have their own effects that activate upon them reaching the graveyard…

Ugh… In fact so many cards have a “When this card is sent to the graveyard” or “While this card is in the graveyard” effect, that in the current meta, your discard pile is basically a second deck of resources at this point…

So much so that a SECOND Discard Pile had to be created for cards that are COMPLETELY out of play and have NO ABILITY to effect anything, just so the game can be even slightly balanced and it obviously still isn’t.

Reboot. The. Card. Game. Already. Konami.

This video is more or less what the game has devolved into, I don’t expect you to be able to follow it, because I can’t either.

All you really need to know is Modern Yugioh asks and answers a bold question…

That question is “So when does the other gentleman in the duel get to actually have a turn?” and the answer is “The neat part is, that he does not.”

I feel like Konami and I both want it to be like the show, but that means different things to both parties.

I think it means, a battle of wits in which ultimately two parties are summoning stronger and stronger monsters trying to one up the other in the course of a duel while throwing curve balls via Spell or Traps, maybe even an Effect monster or two.

And Konami thinks it means “Every card printed after 2006 needs to be the most gimmicky bullshit you’ve ever seen and do such absurd things that it would and literally does have entire paragraphs printed on the smallest text ever on each card just to go on and on about how horribly this warps the rules of the game, and the further you go, the more absurdly broken these cards get to the point where insane moon logic is at play more than anything else.”

So I want Battle City and Konami wants Duelist Kingdom, which is ironic because Battle City comes after Duelist Kingdom

Seriously I tried playing Master Duel and had to surrender because I literally got a headache trying to remember what all of my cards did.

Remember when most of your monsters were just Attack/Defend goons who just had flavor text whereas a few here and there might have some small effect? Good times… I’m not even sure Non-Effect monsters exist anymore.

We all want a version of Yugioh that doesn’t cost literal thousands of real world dollars to get decent cards for in a format that isn’t “Waiting 40 minutes for your opponent to play Solitaire until he finishes Special Summoning five of his overpriced boss monsters”

I’ve waited years for such a thing, I can wait one more day.

Steam

Ah good to know, Yugioh Early Days drops that day and I was planning on buying it day one (Because aint nobody got time to wait 40 minutes for the opponent to win on his first turn) now, I will not

What’s happening on FEbuary 28th? I’m sorry I’m out of the loop

Vim is illegal?

Pretty much the gay couple was originally supposed to be Bashir and Garak, but they were worried that anything involving penises is too gay for people in the 90’s.

That makes the poor optimization even worse because NetEase games could run on a Galaxy S2 if you could find one that got service

I need a new CPU… that new Marvel game has shown me two things

1. Western Developers still have open contempt for the concept of Optimization
2. I’ve upgraded EVERYTHING over the years… except for my CPU
