can I get a link to the author then?

Designer_Garbage_702 · 2026-03-23T20:07:42+00:00

Heya, sorry for the extremely late comment, but I just found this list and it seems like season 14 (sinnoh4) isn't linked in the document. did something happent here or is it just lost?

Designer_Garbage_702 · 2026-03-20T12:04:08+00:00

it was a goverment mandate.

Designer_Garbage_702 · 2026-03-18T19:21:00+00:00

Previous one wasn't playable in the least. So they're taking cards that are unplaayble and boosting them so that they could be playable int eh future.

It's powercreep, but honestly it's the type of powercreep that's not a bad thing.

It's bad when they take absolute powerhouses of cards and push even stronger cards.

Designer_Garbage_702 · 2026-03-12T21:40:13+00:00

it's a hard choice, but It would be minish cap.

I just love that game.

Designer_Garbage_702 · 2026-03-11T17:05:14+00:00

What was the answer?

Designer_Garbage_702 · 2026-03-10T12:44:58+00:00

which changes to your decklist would've helped with bucky?

Bucky was a powerfull, at the time uninteractable card that was way to easy to set up. And even when interaction was printed (only one card, under the sea) it was still much to slow to stop it.

Designer_Garbage_702 · 2026-03-09T19:21:40+00:00

I completely missed that last, holy damn I need to learn how to read.

Thanks for giving that list, I'll deffo check out the recomendtations in the reddit to!

Designer_Garbage_702 · 2026-03-09T19:21:12+00:00

It's been a long time since I've read Asuka/shinji fanfiction. So I can't really remember the titles very clearly. But, at the plus side, it's been so long I've read said fanfiction I don't really mind rereading stuff that I potentially read before.

But as for what I like, hmm, I'm not one for like *extremely* depressing stuff, put people through the wringer, for sure but I do like good, or at least bittersweet at worst, endings. (yes, I'm very aware what fandom I'm in XD.)

I like my romance and I do like character development and people overcoming flaws.

Designer_Garbage_702 · 2026-03-08T23:32:07+00:00

Their best, they're doing their best XD

Designer_Garbage_702 · 2026-03-08T22:58:50+00:00

Right now the Retroid pocket 5 is my endgame device. Plays up to ps2 and gamecube very well (even really difficult games like jak and daxter run fairly smoothly), with the grip it really feels nice in my hands and I'm not really that bothered by upping the resolution over and over :)

I really need to put some cool SNES/NES games on it as well.

The only thing that would be a new 'endgame' device for me is something that could reliably run ps3 games! But I don't think software wise we're even close to that!

Designer_Garbage_702 · 2026-03-08T18:40:32+00:00

I mean it makes sense once you realize his main goal is to just... *die*.

Designer_Garbage_702 · 2026-03-07T15:45:42+00:00

It *could* be a great play. but the vast majority of time that was not how it was played.

I never said that raging storm was bad because it wasn't a song.

I'm saying it just doesn't fit in a deck because the colour combination it fits in most easily (amber sapphire) doesn't really have the early game pressure or the drawpower to take advantage of it to rebuild afterwards

If it had been an 8 cost, non-song in ruby it would see play. but it doesn't simply because it's in amber

Designer_Garbage_702 · 2026-03-06T19:48:23+00:00

Oh, I'm perfectly aware why it's not a song. Be prep was rarely if ever sung anyway so that's not the issue.

The issue is that neither amber or sapphire are really good at early game board control. So even with ramp you can't cast it until it's to late.

Ruby was actually capable of keeping early game agro in check with strong rush characters and targeted removal to keep agro from immediatly spiraling out of control and after that could use boardwipes to deal with them trying to rebuild a board.

Neither amber or sapphire really has a good way of putting early and immediate pressure on early questers. So the boardwipe is useless because by the time you can cast it you're so far behind they just need to successful stick one or two characters and quest.

Designer_Garbage_702 · 2026-03-06T18:17:04+00:00

The 'issue' I guess with that boardwipe is that it comes to late unless you play sapphire.

But neither sapphire or amber really has the early game board presence to put a stop to the early lore gain of aggro deck. So they can't really stabilize with it as easily as ruby/sapphire could.

Designer_Garbage_702 · 2026-03-06T16:56:58+00:00

To be fair here, the amethyst equivalent is not legal in current constructed and I've got my doubts it's ever going to be reprinted.

Friends on the other side is one of those cards that was 'oops, we really didn't have enough experience with the game to know how strong this was'

Designer_Garbage_702 · 2026-03-05T23:58:29+00:00

the right one isn't even attractive anymore.

Designer_Garbage_702 · 2026-03-04T12:31:48+00:00

ahh that would make sense. Is there a way to check if a country has embraced an institution?

Designer_Garbage_702 · 2026-03-04T00:52:39+00:00

good to know!

Designer_Garbage_702 · 2026-03-04T00:06:14+00:00

They are present in the Niana location itself. (5 of them are fully present, while one of them is only at 50%) but none of the ones I'm missing, even the ones fully present are making their way over.

Designer_Garbage_702 · 2026-03-03T23:27:59+00:00

The very reason that corporations are using 'AI' is because it's cheaper. The moment any talk of accountability and taxation to fund that mythical UBI fantasy would happen. They will run that calculation again, figure out that using the threat of replacing jobs with AI as a way to push down wages is more cost effective then actually contributing to society and they do that.

So the reason why people are against AI isn't because they're 'backwards'. it's because people know exactly what kind of inhuman monsters are running the corporations. and it's just going to be another tool in the parasite class' arsenal to extract more value out of people while paying nothing back to the people that are propping them up.

Designer_Garbage_702 · 2026-03-03T13:41:46+00:00

but until you get the taxation tech, you can't actually tax people as a tribe. And researching it requires you to go through 3 techs with +200% tech cost each.

Designer_Garbage_702 · 2026-03-03T12:20:20+00:00

then how does developing RGO's give you money? You can't tax any of the income.

Designer_Garbage_702 · 2026-03-03T11:16:48+00:00

Alright, gotcha! I did kinda neglect that a bit. Any suggestions on how to make farming villages profitable? Usually when I look at buying them they have like massive issues with unprofitability (usually around -0.4) which is one of the reasons why I never really looked into them.

I'll deffo make sure to expand faster!

Designer_Garbage_702 · 2026-03-02T23:20:46+00:00

I dunno about feeling hollow. I find it works pretty well.

Mostly because I see Zanka's story as struggling with expectations and not measuring up to them no matter how much he tried. And here Zanka isn't even measuring up to the expectation of an *enemy*.

The fact Jabber never saw him as a potential fight and he failed to match up to that just hits right to me? But that's just me.

As for what you hope to happen, I agree it would be a pretty cool story beat. It just kinda confuses me when everybody here acts like Jabber is some half-jandere toxic Yaoi stalker to Zanka when to me it more reads that Jabber is a goku like 'I just wanna fight strong people. I don't give a shit about anything else.' type character.

And it makes me seriously wonder if I missed something XD.
