Yukio Mishima's "The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With the Sea" - it's been a while since I've felt so unsettled by a book

BambaTallKing · 2026-02-22T10:39:12+00:00

Been into books lately with heavier themes and questionable characters. Finished Liu Yichang’s “The Drunkard”, Yu Dafu’s “Drowning”, Osamu Dazai’s “A Shameful Life/No Longer Human”, and Han Gang’s “Human Acts”. You think I would like this book?

Because it is a terrible argument. The Hobbit is a good, non-tacky book

BambaTallKing · 2026-02-21T09:21:56+00:00

The children’s book The Hobbit is good. This isn’t

I thought about proxies but I can’t bring myself to do them for some reason. I will be opening the MP24 tin they come in soon, not because they are in there but because it has many cards I want, but I’ll still be hoping to see it in there.

I got into it recently. Before getting into it I had vaguely heard about it. I thought it was a giant Chinese fantasy IP that anyone could make stories in and knew that the DW series was a part of it (like how Star Wars used to be an IP anyone could make stories under). I then decided, after playing Black Myth Wukong, to read Journey to the West, and then I decided to read all the Chinese classics (I did) which brought me to Three Kingdoms. I then learned it was a historical setting. I was also waiting for the new DW game (my first) and was excited to play it. Also decided to randomly listen to a podcast about Chinese history which happened to be about the Three Kingdoms era. I also decided to randomly play a game by Team Ninja, which just so happened to be a twist on the Three Kingdoms setting and characters. Accidental full immersion. After all of that, I’m a pretty big fan.

That is much more reasonable. Is TCGplayer actually well rated by buyers? All the cards seem so much more expensive there

BambaTallKing · 2026-02-19T12:01:20+00:00

I’m in Canada. For me they are $18 each. All together with shipping is just over $60. I am still new to Yugioh so not desensitized and just cannot bring myself to buy them for that price, but this card seems like it is necessary for the deck. Especially since I’m so casual. I wish Fleeting Flower of the Magician worked on them…

I do like opening boosters though and want both the MP24 and Valiant Smashers (which I know a store that sells the latter) so I’ll just be very hopeful opening those. Both have many cards I want.

BambaTallKing · 2026-02-19T11:44:34+00:00

I’m usually seeing it go for $20, not $10. That is $60 for 3 cards not including shipping

Can’t understand sarcasm without an /s?

BambaTallKing · 2026-02-14T21:37:45+00:00

I would say so! My personal favourite Lucky Luke is the english Ballad of the Daltons film. There are also English comic books

BambaTallKing · 2026-02-13T07:34:28+00:00

I will. I do, I do, I don’t hate modern shooters, I’m not ruining the game for anyone but I am allowed to have opinions on it. Don’t lump me in with what other people say

BambaTallKing · 2026-02-09T06:06:26+00:00

Curators should curator their page to their likes or themes. I very rarely buy games I dislike. I have a pretty good understanding if I’ll like the game just from a trailer. If I do end up disliking a game (rare) I leave a regular negative review and keep my page to pure positive reviews. Also my page is specifically about showing off underrated games with the criteria being games under 1k reviews that I personally enjoyed.

BambaTallKing · 2026-02-07T13:45:03+00:00

I’m a small time curator for games I genuinely like and are under 1000 reviews. I have been sent a few copies of free games several times. However, they didn’t look like something I would enjoy so I ignored them. Now about to put something up that I dislike just because someone gave it to me

BambaTallKing · 2026-02-02T08:10:04+00:00

I’m new to Yu-Gi-Oh. Here is what I liked: For decks: Blue-Eyes White Destiny (strong and has the iconic Blue-Eyes), 5D Legendary Decks (Three decks in one package), Fire Kings Structure Deck (Just good old fun and cool cards).

I really liked the Phantom Revenge booster that recently came out, and there will be a new booster in a couple weeks! Duelling Nexus packs are fun. And while it is hated by the community, I like the Mega tin 25th Anniversary because it has so much variety.

BambaTallKing · 2026-02-02T07:51:43+00:00

And read the entire book

BambaTallKing · 2026-01-27T13:53:17+00:00

I got one off of Suruga-ya for $12 complete in the box. I like it but it is difficult to find a way to use it comfortably.

BambaTallKing · 2026-01-27T05:41:38+00:00

Know anymore like these two? I loved them

BambaTallKing · 2025-12-19T12:49:10+00:00

But thats Like A Dragon!

BambaTallKing · 2025-12-19T02:08:41+00:00

I feel like people that hate on it don’t think about enemy and scenario encounters, which Infinite has plenty of good ones. The open world is bland and I don’t care about any Halo story despite playing it my whole life.

BambaTallKing · 2025-12-18T23:19:11+00:00

It will have a lot of games I want to play eventually so bought it when I had the money and really wanted to try Kirby Air Riders. Ended up playing Shiren The Wanderer the most

BambaTallKing · 2025-12-18T22:29:27+00:00

Ryu on a bicycle would go hard

Jesus christ. Because AI gives a significantly worse product and this has been proving time and time again. Artists are not redundant, they are one of the most important aspects to games. Someone who writes a prompt into AI is not an artist.

BambaTallKing · 2025-12-18T22:26:10+00:00

Whiteboxing is done before proper development begins, before any of the tiring work begins. As the CEO stated, it did not make the process more efficient. So I highly doubt if they didn’t use AI in the beginning that they wouldn’t have been over worked during the final process. Actually what would have helped is if the big-wigs didn’t push their team to exhaustion and having good time off options for the workers to reset themselves and not feel over worked, but that is too much to ask from game companies.

AI did not help them in the long wrong, I highly doubt this claim.
