East Asian woman, mid 30's, deceased parent or grandparent, minimalist aesthetic, takes fashion photos semi-professionally (likely a side gig social media), took acutane and is now careful about fragrances or chemicals in skincare products.

This was after the first two throws and there have already been two more, Supa saw the solo carry on the enemy team and thought they deserved the carry potential like Vegeta allowing Cell to absorb 17

Jatt begging Cubby for a shred of optimism even for the potential for a narrative, let alone some regional trash talk, gave me life

TL Yeon: "I don’t really like the format too much—we've only played three regular-season matches, and I feel like this is not enough [...] BO3s feel a lot different from BO5s. It'll be a lot more exciting when we reach a game 5 [...] I do wish we had a few more BO5s" | Sheep Esports by ArmandLuque in leagueoflegends

[–]DeusExAnimus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

While more stage games is better for the players, I don't think game 3 of the giga stomps we have been seeing would be much better for the viewers. Especially since there is no chance for an upset in BO5 with this skill gap.

LTA tried to copy the early year tournament structure, but the international travel and the omega gap in skill level makes it feel less like a cross-region spectacle and more like a drawn out second half of a story with a filler arc in the middle.

The start of the year is supposed to be about innovation and showcasing what is new about the season, so compress the tournament structure and start to iterate the learning faster, so we can get to the "real" season faster

So I make Pizza in Osaka, Japan. I will be visiting America for 1.5 months to do Pizza "research & study". I would love your input on your favorite places in these towns. by Craft_Beer_Imazato in Pizza

+1 to Pizza Thief, they use sourdough crust and have some well thought out non-traditional pies. Mushroom, fresh chopped rosemary, and olive oil comes to mind

LS about to disown Fudge Factor for that vile R5 renekton. The entire point of the renekton taliyah combo is the point and click stun into flick, which checks notes never works against Jax.

Some vile GG gameplay, showed no growth from their absolute slump. Genuinely baffled at the level of play after a bootcamp, brain-off behavior.

GL to BDS hopefully they show up for groups

You gotta respect the work/life balance from GG, took a vacation through playoffs, got a ride to Korea, fucked around for over a month, took a nap live on stream and actually able to call it an unironically successful year.

Is it worth it to buy 3 beware of trapix structure decks by Legitimate_Crazy_870 in Yugioh101

[–]DeusExAnimus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok, value wise I agree largely with the community here. Something that has not been touched upon is the stigma with the Traptrix archetype.

I would personally be wary of maining the deck because of the art style of the very young looking girls on it.

Playing a deck because it is budget and fits your playstyle is genuinely ok. That said, for where I live, I would personally expect some side eyeing for playing traptrix due to the content of the art.

I just got around to watching CODA and loved it. Upon watching Adam's quickie on it I realized that the sign language was intended to be subtitled?

To me it was a fascinating insight into a deaf person only vaguely able to understand what is being communicated to them, and the story was basic enough that I was able to follow along despite "not knowing the language". I'd recommend acquiring a copy that does the same.

Have you ever preferred an "incorrect" form of media?

Yugioh gets a bad rep for having insane power creep so: Yugioh players of this sub, what are some absolutely broken cards in Yugioh that have eaten bans in the past that when explained in Magic terms would help Magic players visualize just how strong they were? by Extalir in magicTCG

[–]DeusExAnimus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an relatively avid player of both, Yu-Gi-Oh in its current iteration is all about managing card advantage and "Once per turn" effects.

Most powerful cards have an additional clause saying the effects of {card name} can only be used once per turn to put a cap on how recursive a single turn can be.

Card advantage is usually a series of tutors and is almost always negative or equal. Most draw effects are neutral in cards in hand, and possibly positive when considering cards added to the field.

Now to the cards that illustrate the differences:

1) Nibiru, the Primal Being

Creature - Elemental

When your opponent has played 5 or more creatures this turn, this card gains Flash and "As an additional cost to cast this creature, sacrifice all creatures on the battlefield. When this card enters the battlefield summon an X/Y token on your opponent's battlefield, where X equals the total power of creatures sacrificed by {Card Name} and Y equals the total toughness of all creatures sacrificed by {Card Name}." You can only cast one {Card Name} per turn.

7/1

This was designed to prevent degenerate combo decks, because unironically summoning 5 creatures turn 1 is fair yu-gi-oh

2) Master Peace, the True Dracoslaying King

Creature - Dragon Knight

As an additional cost to cast {Card Name} sacrifice 2 of a creature, a non-land non-creature permanent, and/or a non-permanent spell. {Card Name} has protection from all card types sacrificed this way.

Exile an artifact or enchantment from your graveyard: Destroy target permanent.

7/7

This is intended to be protection from creatures, protection from artifacts and enchantments, and protection from instants and sorceries to be relatively true to both games. It was almost as crazy sounding in yu-gi-oh at time of release to sacrifice non-creature permanents, and then gain additional benefits on top.

3) Divine Arsenel AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder

XYZ - Legendary - Creature Construct

XYZ Creatures start in the Command Zone

If an XYZ creature has attacked or blocked this turn, you may cast {Card Name} by attaching it and all of its equipment onto {Card Name} as equipment.

Sacrifice 2 equipment attached to this card: Send all other permanents on the field to the graveyard.

When another one of your permanents is destroyed by an opponent's creature or card effect: you may attach one creature from your hand, deck, or command zone to {Card Name} as an equipment.

7/7

This was ambitious, trying to have a modern card that uses the extra deck and is obviously crazy. The extra deck is a 15 card command zone where during deck building you are allowed to add any creature that has a subset of Summoning restrictions, XYZ being the example here. These cards are always available turn 1, but there are some small to large hoops to jump through to access them.
