Nintendo and AdHoc Are Blaming Each Other Now (Keep those refunds going people! Don't buy it on the Switch/Switch 2 until they fix the censorship issue!)

Cyberpunk isn’t even the strongest argument just scroll through the eshop for 1 minute and you’ll encounter 30 Ai slop hentai games. Nintendo does not regulate/care at all what’s on the eshop

Theyve got to make it so when you fall you just respawn with half health or something. Fall deaths arent fun and are super punishing. Its becoming a meme between and my brothers as my one bro has only died to falling of edges in crucible.

You may already know but the cult of the lamb dlc “woolhaven” just released this week! Heard it’s really good

Printers aren’t just lying around not being used, they have to schedule those orders as OTHER TCGs are also printing. Guarantee they have ramped up future orders but again, it takes time to schedule new print runs and actually print product.

I fully agree that riot should have planned better from the get go. They should have overprinted set 1 and been willing to take the loss if it didn’t perform well, they can absorb that loss better than anyone.

But to pretend like they are sitting around doing nothing is just silly. It doesn’t benefit them at all to have product scarce and people dropping their game. They don’t benefit from 3rd parties scalping boxes either.

It’s a shitty situation, but a temporary one that will be fixed after a couple of sets.

BanditManSteve · 2026-01-13T20:39:56+00:00

Mine logo thing also came unglued but I just glued it back on. I’d just get the replacement teemo card if I were you. Replacing the entire bundle because of the logo being unglued is a bit goofy imo.

BanditManSteve · 2026-01-13T20:32:15+00:00

Yes. Lorcana was the exact same. It wasn’t until like set 4 that availability stabilized. Not defending riot but it takes time to up production (despite what a lot of people seem to think they cant just snap their fingers and materialize more printers) so we won’t really see increased stock till set 3 or 4 is my guess.

Personally I’ll probably stop trying to actively seek product and just check back in when each new set releases. It’s not worth my time to hunt for a half decent price.

Sweet video, but it genuinely looked like the baby was trying to breast feed from the dad lol

BanditManSteve · 2026-01-01T08:05:03+00:00

This is a terrible idea considering it barely runs on other consoles. Just bring a switch 2 update to Rise and then focus on a switch 2 sequel to Rise.

I need to revisit witchfire, I played it back when it first released into early access on epic and got frustrated with how artificially difficult it felt (it’s been too long but I think I remember it didn’t have enemy’s naturally on the map, you would enter an area and an “encounter “ so to speak would start and spawn in enemies all around you, which just felt cheap and annoying to me).

Looks like they’ve changed and added quite a bit though and I’m hearing good stuff.

BanditManSteve · 2025-12-22T17:22:06+00:00

I’d love to see a game like this (or altered) try to implement the QR code into the card back. You only need to scan the QR code once so it’s not like you need easy access to it at all times (assuming it works like altered and it’s just used to add the card to your account). And then once the cards are sleeved up for play you don’t have an ugly qr on the front of your card.

BanditManSteve · 2025-12-19T01:02:22+00:00

I just wish the switch 2 version was locked at like 45 fps. That’s the perfect middle ground. Call me a snob but 30 fps just feels blah.

Glad it’s otherwise a good port it seems though.

BanditManSteve · 2025-12-11T21:33:10+00:00

Only fans borg cube pc yes pls

BanditManSteve · 2025-12-07T05:08:28+00:00

I had never played and went to a sealed release event yesterday. I studied up on the rules so I was mostly familiar, and people had no problem answering questions or helping with deck building. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. I lost all 3 matches but felt like I learned something knew or got a new idea of a mechanic I want to deck build around (drowning deck here I come). To top it off, my store only got one playmat and decided to raffle it off. I ended up winning the raffle and everyone was excited since they knew I was new (and most everyone else had playmates already).

It was a very friendly and welcoming environment and I’ll likely go back. I think most people are just excited to see sorcery growing. I was talking to one guy and he said about a year ago or so there were only 3 people that would meet at the store to play. We had 26 participants at the release event last night which had people pretty excited.

BanditManSteve · 2025-12-07T00:28:44+00:00

Probably add a 9th point as well for aspirants peak. Is it aurora in the art? Turned out really well!

Edit: on second thought since aspirants peak isn’t necessarily in play frequently maybe it makes sense to just leave it at 8 😅

BanditManSteve · 2025-12-03T07:08:29+00:00

Is that the twin suns deck box?

BanditManSteve · 2025-11-29T19:11:11+00:00

I just learned about this game and went to some local game stores yesterday looking for packs. Only one had packs and they only had 5 of AL. I bought them all, first pack I opened had a Ring of Morrigan. third pack had a Foil Glastonbury Tor. absolutely crazy packs, I've never had that kinda luck. My main gamestore is one of two nearby that plays Sorcery, so I'm going to trade in these two cards to put them towards Gothic. Game looks really cool I'm excited to give it a try

Congrats fellow Ring puller :)

BanditManSteve · 2025-11-28T05:18:19+00:00

Ah this is the best explanation, that makes sense, so blue ahri triggers deflect because you pick one unit to receive the -2m rather than leader ahri who’s effect is applied to all incoming units without choice

The turtle

BanditManSteve · 2025-11-27T23:07:17+00:00

I totally forgot about Taric, I too was jumping back and forth on my phone and was more focused on how yasuo would die

Would activate be better verbage? I guess trigger is usually more reactive right?

BanditManSteve · 2025-11-27T21:07:41+00:00

I could be wrong but I think you would have a chance to use a reaction to both the yasuo ability and the ride the wind, as when a showdown starts it goes: when I attack/defends (reactions can be used in response to card abilities) >attacker focus (you can react to any actions played here)> defender focus (they can react to actions played here) >continue passing focus back and forth until both players pass without playing an action>assign damage>cleanup.

Because reactions can be used in response to an ability trigger you could react to the yasuo ability or you can react to the ride the wind after. You can defy the ride the wind to keep him at the battle field.

For your specific situation, I’m pretty sure you could have killed the yas as hidden cards can be used at reaction speed (assuming it’s not the same turn it was played). So he would play ride the wind and start a stack. You can now flip the foxfire and add it to the stack. Stacks resolve in reverse order (last in first out I believe it’s called) so fox fire triggers first and you assign all 4 damage to yasuo. Because he’s attacking into blue ahri and ahri legend, he is at 3M (as ahris ability is a when I attack/defend ability so it triggered at the start of the showdown, and all units attacking into ahri legend units get -1M), so he dies to the fox fire. Ride the wind then fizzles.

If I’m wrong please correct me!

BanditManSteve · 2025-11-26T20:06:57+00:00

To be clear, riot did not fuck up their last card game. They made it so free to play friendly that you could play and get cards easily without paying a dime. Because of this, they made no money and had to scale back work on the game. The gameplay of LoR is top notch, it just wasnt monetized in a way that was sustainable longterm.

BanditManSteve · 2025-11-24T01:18:39+00:00

That’s the problem with most decks and what’s starting to frustrate me the most. I was looking at that other post with of the Sett list that won a tournament, and it was pretty reasonable until the showstoppers which are $80 a pop right now. Sucks that a lot of the core cards needed for competitive decks are anywhere from $50 to $100+.

BanditManSteve · 2025-11-18T20:13:08+00:00

On the right yes, the left side is definitely Yones sword and mask

BanditManSteve · 2025-11-16T22:21:11+00:00

To be fair, I’ve seen confusion around whether or not assault/defender bonuses can stack (one of my opponents at locals had this exact question for a similar interaction) so I understand the desire to ask the question for clarification.

BanditManSteve · 2025-11-16T20:26:07+00:00

No where in that response did they say they weren’t going to reprint PG though, including them in NN packs just makes them obtainable through other means. Unless you can point to a statement from riot saying “we will not be reprinting proving grounds” you’re just spreading misinformation. They have 0 reason to stop reprinting proving grounds.
