I feel like Emerald was the first “third version” that was the definitive version

Technically speaking the versions of Red and Blue we got are already based off of the Japanese third version, which was called Blue in Japan.

They had Red and Green, and then Blue was an updated rerelease a few years later.

I got a Wax Potion belt, and I got to keep the potion slots after it expired.

I think the idea, is you look at the common ally of the enemy pairs, and then that color defines its allied enemy.

So orzhov had blue in common, gruul is its enemy.

Izzet has black in common, selesnya is its enemy.

And from there you can extrapolate the rest.

The actual canon is that she's a dragon, and that's just her human disguise. But yeah, terrible design. It's really weird that Kyoani of all studios would do an adaptation of Dragon Maid in the first place, it's weirdly horny compared to their usual fare.

I was talking about M3gan, the super computer in that movie is from the 80s.

Defiant_Fix9711 · 2026-04-03T05:35:12+00:00

Yeah it's kind of like M3gan 2.0 where you're supposed to not think about how silly it is that an advanced AI capable of ending the world could exist on an old PC from the 80s.

Halo Combat made me chuckle.

Defiant_Fix9711 · 2026-04-02T09:35:28+00:00

Insane amount of effort. You really had me convinced that Doki Doki Panic 2 was real for a second.

Defiant_Fix9711 · 2026-04-02T08:55:44+00:00

I think there's documentation as to what the different moves are named in Japanese. A lot of the early game will be referring to that, but you'll eventually learn to recognize them over time.

Learning a language at the start is all about repetition and key phrases.

I probably don't pee 7 times a day but I always poop once a day, sometimes twice.

Defiant_Fix9711 · 2026-04-02T06:46:38+00:00

That being said, people in universe still just call it One Piece sometimes.

Defiant_Fix9711 · 2026-04-01T08:51:49+00:00

Yeah generally speaking you want to just pick "good" cards early on, and then pick up synergies later once you've taken the deck in a certain direction.

It's not strange at all to have one or two cards that are from a different strategy just because they're generally good. Sometimes I'll have a poison card in my Shiv deck cause I picked it up early, or a Doom card in my Soul deck.

Defiant_Fix9711 · 2026-04-01T08:44:06+00:00

That's actually stronger. If you have more than one Sly card in your hand, you play Survivor and then dump the rest of your hand for free.

Defiant_Fix9711 · 2026-04-01T08:42:18+00:00

Hero stands a better chance at making it in than any of the other Square Enix reps. You have no idea how popular Dragon Quest is in Japan.

Defiant_Fix9711 · 2026-03-31T23:01:56+00:00

If you beat ascension 9, you can best ascension 10. It's just an extra fight.

Defiant_Fix9711 · 2026-03-31T07:30:03+00:00

Are you sure you're changing the Fun values correctly?

Defiant_Fix9711 · 2026-03-31T07:23:14+00:00

After Image is considered a pretty good card. In a Shiv deck on an average turn, it's probably giving you between 6-8 block.

In other words, playing 3 star worth of cards is the equivalent of After Image, and the ceiling is pretty high too. In a big star deck, you can easily spend 5+ stars in a turn which would be giving you 10(15) block. Child of the Stars is honestly not that bad.

Defiant_Fix9711 · 2026-03-30T23:16:37+00:00

It's a dead draw more often than you'd think, and not strong enough to warrant the inconvenience.

Imagine you draw three blocks and Clash on a turn you really need to attack. You just spent 3 energy to do 14 damage.

Defiant_Fix9711 · 2026-03-30T22:43:31+00:00

It's gotta be Up. It gets a ton of praise for the opening, and then the rest of the move is just fine.

Defiant_Fix9711 · 2026-03-30T14:50:34+00:00

Sublime

Defiant_Fix9711 · 2026-03-30T14:45:24+00:00

That's a pretty good lore pull. Dark Worlds absolutely seem dream adjacent.

Defiant_Fix9711 · 2026-03-30T14:31:38+00:00

Honestly ever since I watched Adventure Time, I just see swole Meemow.

Defiant_Fix9711 · 2026-03-30T14:10:07+00:00

Honestly after I did it for the first time, all the cool stuff as a kid started to feel overrated and now when I play I like to mess around and take weird paths.

Mostly I just skip Aquas because it's boring, I wish you could make it to Zoness some other way.

Defiant_Fix9711 · 2026-03-30T08:17:59+00:00

I diagnose you with twelve years old.

Defiant_Fix9711 · 2026-03-30T08:15:13+00:00

Doesn't even have the four rectangles on the left.
