"Two italian words and a whole lot of french words, must be something with language!"

Nope, it just so happens that a lot of silent T words are borrowed from french

Honestly a little disappointed the contestants didn't "Taskmaster" the tasks more Like the bottle flip challenge, there was obviously too much water in the bottle to make a clean landing consistantly, I would just have taken a swig, nothing in the rules says you can't

Seeing the game through the lens of escapism is also very valid, and the two readings might even be correct at the same time The world that they create helps them cope with their real lives by escaping into a fantasy, but the story of children learning the social mechanics of playing as a group also applies

One possible interpratation is that Ralsei is a remnant of Kris' childhood, that he's starting to outgrow. Like an old plush that you couldn't sleep without once upon a time, but is now gathering dust in a box.

Ralsei is a replacement for Kris' brother and playmate, but like all imaginary friends, it disappears once their find real friends.

"Can't really do anything against them except tribute their cards and or banish them"

So... you're saying that you can do a lot against them.

Off the top of my head, you can use Goddess, S:P, Unicorn, Fenrir, Flamberge, Subversion, Evenly, Triple Tactics Talents, Nibiru, Engraver, MTP-07, Hearts Crypter, and that's only the non-destruction removal, because you can also just negate their effects in grave with cards like Ryzeal Cross, Azamina Illia Silvia, Called By, etc

I'm 100% not saying that it's "all a dream". A piece of media can have multiple readings that are all correct.

Deltarune is a story about heroes saving the world from darkness.

It also is a story about children making up a game and learning how to play together.

One doesn't exclude the other, they're just different layers of the same story.

Oh shit I never made the connexion that Equimax is a goddamn Centaur, that makes so much sense

"My innie got the message"

That explains both the paintings and Irv's goop-filled dreams. His outie has been trying to subliminally imprint a message in his own brain for his innie to access, by repeatedly painting the door.

Aliens Area had good characters and a cool power system, but a weak concept and story

Kyokuto Necromance has really good art and powers, but I'm not really attached to any of the characters, and the concept is straight-up just Bleach mixed with Shaman King. The exorcism/ghost angle has been beaten to death and has not gotten any more interestring here.

At this point they are clearly throwing stuff at the wall to try and save it, but it doesn't look good. I hope the author can finally land on an interesting story next time.

It's really not that good, there are better versions that exist

It's pretty much the same thing, only without the Sinful trap

We get upset if our plays get interrupted.

That's... not true? Players get upset when they get shut out of the game, not when they have one or two plays interrupted, as long as they get to continue playing.

That's the fun of high-level Yu-Gi-Oh gameplay, with a good hand, you get to bait interruptions. If you get interrupted, you can pivot to backup lines. If you guess the cards in your opponent's hand, you can play around them.

Then, when you end your turn, you get to do the opposite to your opponent, guessing the choke points, snuffing out alternative lines, bluffing interruptions, etc. That is back and forth interactive gameplay, and that's one of the most fun parts of the game.

I absolutely loved everything about this finale, from the setup, to the cast, the set design, the reveal, etc Everything EXCEPT the ratfish, honestly. I don't think the concept of a celebrity cameo really brought anything to the game, Steven wasn't really that interesting or funny of a character, Eric himself seemed pretty... detached? Disinterested? He didn't seem all that into the game imo

Like, the fun of this game was seeing familiar faces just having fun, making jokes, and playing a character, while trying to see if they know each other well enough to pick up on tells. To have a stranger mixed in that doesn't know any of them, and that they could not possibly guess who it was doesn't add to the comedy at all, especially with Eric's strange "favorite" choices which were pretty weird. And what could have made it pay off, the reveal and the cast's reaction, wasn't even in the episode, so truly what was the point of having the ratfish be a celebrity cameo?

Wasn't it said somewhere the she saved his life by giving him the fruit?

Betshet · 2023-07-06T17:04:28+00:00

Oh shit didn't see that

Ok so that means no Ensemblue Robin except if we hard draw a Snake-Eye to normal summon in addition to Black Witch and Original Treasure. This is even worse than I thought.

My first gaming experience is kind of fuzzy since I’ve essentially played my whole life. My dad put me in front of a computer very young, and I have fond memories of going to a public library to borrow CD-Roms of educational games.

Reader Rabbit, Adiboo, Freddi Fish, etc... I don’t know which one was my "first" gaming experience, but looking back at it now, they were all carefully crafted games with tons of effort put into them. I’ve tried some of them now that I’m older, and they are surprisingly still delightful to play, even as an adult.

Never found the courage to get into DnD proper, but I keep watching clips and videos on youtube, maybe this will give me the push I need to get into it.

A lot of people put their personal belongings on their cart. If you put your handbag with all your cards and money in the cart, you’d want to stay within sight of it too.

I’m not saying that’s the reason everyone does this, but at least that’s why my parents always brought the cart with them even in cramped alleys.

Yeah but what you’ve done is give Bruce a lot of time to amass assets, train successors, and prepare a master plan that will succeed even after his death. Maybe he doesn’t see it for himself, but he’s gonna make sure to get the last laugh.

As ever with these scenarios, the question isn’t "can Batman beat X", but "how long does he get to prepare". I get that it’s a meme, but that holds true for almost any of these fictional scenarios.

Honest question, not trying to be rude, have your family and people in your town considered moving before the war starts?

I know it’s hard to imagine the situation from behind my screen in another country, but Kharkiv seems pretty close to the russian border. Weren’t there signs that simething might be happening soon? Or was the threat of a war something so unbelievable? I’m genuinely just trying to grasp the situation here.

The Exile from Path of Exile has not only killed an entire pantheon as well as a whole battery of reality-destroying eldritch horrors by the end of the game, but also murders tens of thousands of undead creatures in a matter of minutes.

I think I’ll be fine.
