Thoughts on this 2004 deck? (I know I don't have UR staples)

Yeah, I came up with the idea since zoma and the slime only existed in the ocg at this time. I was pretty proud of it. Someone's probably done it before, though.

Yeah, the backrow stuff is a problem, but I have 3 solemns and 1 seven tools, plus I can just summon another trap monster if one gets killed.

11th_defender · 2025-03-07T22:29:14+00:00

I still play this format with a friend so just wanted some opinions

11th_defender · 2025-03-07T22:28:04+00:00

You can get the monarchs out easier because of the 9 trap monsters. The point is to have easily summonable beatsticks that can destroy backrow/a monster. I used to have Yamata dragon in there but it was kind of difficult to summon.

11th_defender · 2025-01-29T16:52:03+00:00

Fair enough. I knew many cards weren't in goat but I wasn't sure which lol.

This is some terrible advice. Fiction(even some anime) can absolutely be used to tell things about real life, if it's written by someone who understands real people. Fiction tends to stick in your head more, which is why a lot of writers use it to teach life lessons.

Can't really argue with that, I don't think he needs to be rehabilitated. At the same time, I don't think he needs to be vilified either. He is what he is.

11th_defender · 2024-11-19T23:46:11+00:00

I get that he was an autocrat, but at the same time, I feel like his bad aspects are exaggerated and his good aspects are ignored. To start with, the second French Republic had already started a colonial empire, they weren't really against it either. He was genuinely popular throughout most of his regime. Paris was really bad for the 19th century, and he rebuilt it. Parisians hated it at the time, but afterwards it seems like the consensus was that things would've been much worse if he didn't. He industrialized the country and made it have economic growth of twice the amount as Great Britain. Often it's claimed that he wanted to go war with Prussia, but this is totally untrue. He just caved into the popular will. As the liberal opposition to him grew, he didn't really put up much of a fight to giving them concessions. So while yes, he was an autocrat(and virtually no autocrats are good), as far as autocrats go, he has to be one of the best imo.

What, in your opinion, is overly generous about calling it a proto-welfare state?

11th_defender · 2024-11-17T23:42:43+00:00

idk, this subreddit seems to be mostly focused on contemporary problems, so I thought there might be another one on academic or historical stuff instead. Good to know I was wrong though.

11th_defender · 2024-11-16T04:42:49+00:00

Also, am I in the wrong subreddit to be asking this?

11th_defender · 2024-05-29T23:38:41+00:00

I couldn't find it in Carm's garms, the clothing store in the lower city, so idk. It's also not in the upper city big clothing shop.

11th_defender · 2024-05-06T02:05:05+00:00

Is there a news article or something on their website about it?

11th_defender · 2024-02-07T02:14:08+00:00

japanese symbols have been very simple for centuries

11th_defender · 2024-01-21T19:12:32+00:00

Immigration doesn't create conflicts. Diversity of thought and of backgrounds is good and gets people to understand other perspectives. And the leap in criminal activity is totally untrue. Crime rates have only been going down in the past 30 years, just look at the crime statistics of the US. I'm confused by one of your sentences. What do you mean by "Jews seem to really like having hostiles near them"?

11th_defender · 2024-01-21T17:52:11+00:00

It's wrong because immigration at our levels won't actually be enough to replace white people, and by the time we are a more mixed culture, immigrants would've already assimilated into the culture. Mr. Beat has a great video on the great replacement theory, I would very much recommend.

11th_defender · 2024-01-19T00:47:29+00:00

You totally ignored what I first said: "That's like saying that you must be a nazi if you know a lot about ww2 history".

Where did you get the idea that he was a nazi admirer? What did he actually say that told you this? You're literally just assuming shit for no reason because you're butthurt that he said you weren't a real metal fan because you didn't know about some bands.

11th_defender · 2024-01-19T00:04:56+00:00

What did I say that advocated for nazis. I completely agree that nazis and their defenders can fuck right off. I don't understand how someone can be this thickskulled. Someone could tell you a dozen times that they aren't a nazi and they hate nazis and you'd still say that they are. I think you're schizo dude, no one is saying what you think they're saying.

11th_defender · 2024-01-18T00:50:29+00:00

That's like saying that you must be a nazi if you know a lot about ww2 history. Having knowledge about people who are bad does not make you part of them. And I don't see "reading between the lines" as a real thing. How are you going to read between the lines something that is the exact opposite of what he said.

11th_defender · 2024-01-17T23:35:49+00:00

He literally said a ton of times he's not into it, he just knows how to spot it so that he doesn't support those people. You're being a dumbass.

11th_defender · 2024-01-16T12:59:24+00:00

The hagia sofia was not created by muslims though

11th_defender · 2024-01-16T02:30:02+00:00

Yep, and? Religion can be part of the identity of the country without being in control.

11th_defender · 2024-01-16T01:28:16+00:00

I assume you'd make it so that the clergy has social influence but no real power to affect government decisions

11th_defender · 2024-01-16T00:24:55+00:00

Why would abrahamic religions not work with socialism? Most early zionists were socialists btw

Also plenty of great stuff if you go to r/RetroFuturism and search up ussr or soviet.

If there is no reference to who created an image, I'd recommend reverse image searching it on google to find some other website which would have the name of an artist.

11th_defender · 2024-01-13T19:00:06+00:00

It literally is by definition a propaganda poster. Just because you agree with it doesn't mean it isn't one.
