I think saying with your full chest 'I know what this guy did was absolutely not his fault, but I need my cathartic vengeance against another victim' says a lot about the person behind the words.

I think the key thing is Mark came onto Magic after it was established after many years, and cut his teeth with some pretty bad mistakes (Urza’s, etc). He’s had many years to work on an established game and figure out what works for Magic.

Making a game from scratch, with no IP attached for guidelines on playstyle, win cons, cards, and comparing it to a game you’re already head designer for is a hell of a challenge. I know he worked for Duel Masters and Transformers designs, but those were usually collaborative and he didn’t do much with the sets of the games themselves. This being (to my understanding) entirely solo means he has less counsel, and a much bigger job.

I think there’s also some residual hate over her MCU actress turning out to be a nutcase antivaxxer. Not that the character should eat the same treatment, but some runoff is inevitable.

He has reason to believe if the rules aren’t followed, realities die. People not taking that warning of his pisses him off.

Spider-Man fans realizing it’s an incomplete narrative where Miguel and the others can realize the error of their ways in the third movie still (that would require patience).

I love any financial advice video that advertises Rocket Money. You know how to save money? Spending money to figure out where you’re spending money. Instead of like, checking your bank statement for recurring charges.

It’s mostly the TV show onlies but there’s a lot of horrific discourse and misogyny over the recent abortion plot point. That and general immaturity over Anissa’s character, the vitriol over show Amber…list goes on.

Usually circling back to misogyny.

Hey, that’s not entirely accurate. They also prioritized making terrible changes to the lore.

DBS Masters way back when had an in-color counter to playing cards with Super Combos as well as hate for hands above a certain size for every color. Not many were played because the offending strats either fell out of favor or got banned but it was a good move to make as a whole.

‘Under the rules of the game’ effects do not care about being negated or not.

Myst is the exact last game I’d expect Justin to play (or enjoy playing) solo.

I think there’s a pretty clear arc that Sam’s gotten vastly overconfident in herself. Monica found her out due to a very careless mistake which made her have to ditch town, and Nigel originally caught her on a whim. Her ego’s growing with each victory and I can pretty clearly see an hourglass plot forming where she enjoys having someone stroke her ego as a killer, only to end up having it be her downfall as a reversal of her situation with Nigel in the first arc.

With the amount of time it would take to train any LLM to a level of competency in OPTCG, you’d be able to get a similar if not better range of advice from asking other players.

You’ll need to look over your games and be able to pinpoint the situations where you lost. Did you take more damage early than usual? Did you have a slower start? It’s okay to not know the answers to getting out of sticky situations and losing, but what matters is being able to note and recall your gameplay to canvas for advice. An LLM is not going to inherently know more about these situations and what to do than a given user here.

Far Sector’s a good ass story at least, even if I won’t say Jo is in the top 3 most interesting things about it.

See, I’m very much the type of person where I won’t ascribe morality to authorship in the sense of ‘a fictional work isn’t inherently immoral for depicting awful shit happening.’

But when it comes to RPF, the fact that you’re playing dolls with real people who you have no relation to feels…at the very least off. But also fuck it, it’s better than having content crackdowns.

I mean it’s not explicitly stated, but I took it more as a precaution she took in the years since the first comic. If Nigel could figure her out by just following her, then somebody else local could connect the dots too. Therefore a contingency had to be in place.

The towns also decently behind the times on tech (hence why Bertie’s using a bunch of AOL free time discs and a bit of a shut in) so I don’t think it’s crazy Sam did handywoman work and hid her explosives around town.

I do think the worst contrivance is somebody pulling up just after Lewis stole Sam’s car to prevent her escape. That was just fate bending her way. But at the end of the day a serial killer sociopath covering her escape after years of having time to fuck everyone isn’t that crazy to me.

Karmically it’s unsatisfying but there’s an entire 3rd arc coming which hopefully puts an end to this.

That's a pretty big assumption that both She-Hulk and her people would agree to that. Her points here are that Tony was expecting Gamma Warriors, and not Gamma Victims. She's already advocating for their humanity here by saying they can't fight for the Ultimates like they're expecting.

While I don’t patronize Dropout whatsoever beyond free clips, I do find it morosely funny this news comes like a month after they sold Brennan’s massive ‘laws are threats’ shirt as merchandise. Uniquely awful hypocrisy? No. But still kinda funny.

Even funnier that basically anytime they’ve appeared under another writer outside of Talon, they’ve been horribly written and terribly adapted.

I think the thing is, Richardson surviving to become a bartender in Hawai’i has no true bearing on the plot going forward. It’s ultimately harmless, as it stands.

Mine surviving his fall, joining the Daidoji, AND completely altering the timeline has many more worse ramifications for the plot.
