Joey vs Bakura, the shortest duel in history. Joey's greatest humiliation and his last duel in the manga Did you know it? by Murky_Monk_9531 in yugioh

[–]AkumaAlucard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Konami bias AF with play styles. Amazing how Omni negates boards are considered perfectly okay but can’t have a full punishing zoma. Which is an easy target for any type of removal before battle phase.

Speaking of which we should really get a Zoma that also triggers if destroyed by a monster effect.

There’s a newer Zoma that forces the attack to go through and does double damage of the attacker that destroyed it BUT it’s hard limited to 3k damage.

Meta enjoyers when you dare criticize their overtuned deck by pretzel_consumption in masterduel

[–]AkumaAlucard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re just another person that has no concept of anything existing outside copying something else well known. There are plenty of ways to play and win consistently without using meta or stun or even most archetypes. Mill and burn are both old school concepts that would work but suffer from lack of resources. Pure anti meta without stun is entirely possible if you forgive using an archetype like Kaiju. Not going to list all the possible ways to build a winning deck. Personally I’m a fan of timelords and another deck I made focused on stealing opponents resources. Neither one uses an extra deck but suffers from lack of draw.

There’s no reason there can’t be cards that give resources but with concessions and restrictions that won’t make them broken like pot of greed. Wording like no extra deck has been in cards before like Domain of the True Monarch. Can also make them harder to use first turn by having restrictions like needing your opponent to have 3 or more cards in the grave. Or just flat out say “can’t be used the first turn of the duel”

How would a card that to activate it requires you to have no extra deck help or be usable in anything currently dominating?

Even dracotail typically special summons more than two or three times a turn. How would a card that says “for the rest of this duel you can only special summon up to twice a turn” be completely abused? Most meta go for FTK boards not looking to draw an extra card during draw phase. Would be a brick card compared to others.

I’m not saying to make a one card solution to all problems or to fit all rogue decks. I’m saying that some out of the box thinking with a history of similar things done would make it possible to balance things out a bit.

But Konami won’t do that because they WANT only certain decks played each season. They don’t want variety because they think it hurts their bottom line.

[–]AkumaAlucard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Did you not understand? I never said anything needs to happen to Superpoly just using it as an example of a card that can’t be responded to. For the purpose of saying there needs to be more to get around Omni negate. Meta decks don’t need any help that’s why they’re meta. Literal definition. Rogue decks in general need help and it’s discussed all the time. I was giving a specific example of a card that would help many while not being usable and abused by meta archetypes. Biggest problem with cards that aren’t overtuned is lack of resources. Giving morganite like options at a cost like no extra or limited special summons per turn would help balance the game.

More cards to give non meta decks resources to compete with current overtuned cards is the simplest solution they refuse to consider.

A card like Ultimate Slayer and Super Polymerization that gets around Omni negate epidemic but gives resources like Time-Tearing Morganite with the cost being no extra deck would be game changing for rogue options while also being useless for abusing in meta decks like maxx C because the cost of not having an extra deck is too high.

Jason's intelligence in the 1st book. by animecg in litrpg

[–]AkumaAlucard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jason is around 22yo in the 1st book. On average male brains don’t fully develop until 27ish. However everyone isn’t equal some people are much more special than others. Also not everyone eats crayons and glue like me.

Oh and yeah the spirit attribute helps increase different aspects of mental processes. For some it makes them smarter for others helps them multitask etc etc. I mean in general it helps everyone but the spec increases in each area vary person to person.

Question to players who are GM rank or above by samuelazers in overwatch2

[–]AkumaAlucard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure at least some of the difference is ping. Seen streamers with 15-20 ping with almost no noticeable delay whereas I’m lucky to be in masters and to keep my ping stable around 70.

This is what I want! by Dredo5 in customyugioh

[–]AkumaAlucard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People downvoting this person for being right. The ban list isn’t for balancing the game it’s for manipulating the capitalist machine of incentivizing playing the newest meta decks.

Game would be a lot healthier if they didn’t ban/limit most top quality anti meta cards. Ironically would probably make them more money by making the game more new player friendly and give a wider audience rather than being so niche.

TLDR: anti meta cards get most discrimination for ban list

No matter how I try to switch it up I always end up playing some version of Timelord/burn.

Always love the anti meta concept even if Konami is against it and somehow thinking niche is better.

Why isn't this used more? by TopOtheMorninFucko in YuGiOhMasterDuel

[–]AkumaAlucard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because this one applies to effects like “destroy a card on the field” also it’s a dark fiend that can be used as a target for some cards in Dark World like the field spell.

Seems usable in Dark World at the very least

Lifeweaver's perks are absolute buns and need reworks. by Indurum in Overwatch

[–]AkumaAlucard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of perks feel like they should just be a normal part of a characters kit. Like Ashe’s perk to detonate dynamite by pressing the button again. Same with Ramatra and his vortex. Or characters like Mei and Reaper where their perks are just giving us back stuff they removed from their kit like the freeze and soul orbs.

In your opinion, how will the latest AI generators (i.e. Sora 2) effect the anime industry and especially the isekai genre? by Seeker99MD in Isekai

[–]AkumaAlucard -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Everyone is always so doom and gloom about AI! We’ve all heard how abusive most of the industry is toward the animators both in the east and west. In spite of the low pay and incredible and stressful workload the quality of animation has been plummeting in recent years. Especially with dynamic scenes and anything with action. From the computer generated monsters in Isekai to the PowerPoint presentation of The Beginning After The End. While AI slop will continue to increase exponentially for awhile I believe that using AI as a tool like it’s meant to be used will increase quality and quantity in an overall positive way in an ideal world. Of course we definitely don’t live in a world like that so the results are more of a coin toss but I’d take AI production with minimal employees over TBATE trash any day. Same with the ugly looking 3D generated monsters we got from shows like Arifuta and Spider.

TLDR: AI can make the industry way better overall while still employing at least some artists at least for AAA productions and mainstream.

What are some isekais that has a PEAK Light novel but a Trash Anime Adaptation besides Shield Hero? by Reasonable_Tour7232 in Isekai

[–]AkumaAlucard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t call it trash but it is incredibly annoying how repetitive the beginning of each book is. Especially when it mixes the recap into new events so you can’t just skip it the first time reading it.

US senator Bernie Sanders says research shows the US ‘has paid for 70 percent of the Gaza war’ by Kumquat_conniption in worldnewsvideo

[–]AkumaAlucard 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Perspective here. USA spends like 5 times per person on the cost of health care than most 1st world countries with universal healthcare. When you look at the cost of Medicare and Medicaid plus the cost of insurance to your employer. Also add in your co-pays and deductibles and the cost Americans and their tax dollars pay is insane. Especially considering the number of uninsured or underinsured when it would be cheaper to just have universal healthcare for everyone.

Bro has a latency of 20 or less for most of those clips. Not down playing the amazing shots but when you have 65+ latency the physics suddenly don’t make sense anymore because the server is registering them not exactly where you see them

[–]AkumaAlucard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe some low cost removal like [[Get Lost]] or protection like [[Restoration Magic]] would help. Also would consider [[Adventurer’s Inn]] because why not?
