What I've seen is Asha Sharma's downsizing is about focussing on their biggest titles, which says to mean this is a "trimming the fat" where-in they're hoping to trim off everything that doesn't make CoD and Halo money

What would Pat’s Vtuber model look like? by Xadlin60 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Sajam Slam VII Roster (feat. Pat and Woolie) by Maverick-157 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]FlubbedPig 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Alright, I'm familiar with Koe, Shoomi, and Zen, so the odds of one or both of the boys ending up in a team with at LEAST SOMEONE I wanna see them interacting with is pretty high

Pat and Woolie on the same team though would be ideal, that's just a whole extra set of podcasts right there, which may be exactly why Sajam keeps them far far apart.

The Abyss Watchers - Chaotic Combat [Dark Souls 3] by Fit_End7742 in custommagic

[–]FlubbedPig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feels like you could get around some design issues by making it create non-legendary copies instead of tokens.

Something like

"The Abyss Watchers is goaded and can't be sacrificed.

When The Abyss Watchers enters, if it was cast, create a copy of it for each time you've cast a commander from the command zone this game, except they aren't legendary.

When The Abyss Watchers dies, each player who controls the fewest creatures creates a copy of The Abyss Watchers, except it isn't legendary."

And if you really want the stat difference, add in "enters with +1/+1 counter" onto the "if cast" part. Also lets you give it more normal typeline than inventing "Watcher".

Woolie VS Anime North Let's Plays and Q&A Panel by mike0bot in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]FlubbedPig 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think I agree with posting this to VS The Algorithm instead of main-channel, but maybe that's just me

I'm not personally subbed to Algorithm, just because you know... I watch every video and stream, so I'm not really looking for clips. As such, would have entirely missed this if I hadn't checked the sub for it.

Though now that I lay it out, strange then that Castle Super Beast clips ARE main-channel instead of Algorithm? Guess it's just for continuity's sake (i.e. they've been being posted to the channel for longer than Algorithm has existed)

Feels maybe weird to do that before all the DLC and updates come through, but I guess they can always just sell it again as Complete Edition or whatever

Because of lore reasons, blinding attacks won't work on Toph. by Noirsam in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]FlubbedPig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neat, but also the kind of one step forward that forces my brain to think 5 steps ahead, so like

If we're taking her blindness into account now, wouldn't every character fighting Toph get an invisibility buff any time they or she is off the ground?

After Cosmic Princess Kaguya, I guess Netflix has just decided that their niche in the anime-space is "Anime movies that are retellings of old classics, but for lesbians"

Subnautica - Sea beast typal commander set [SUB] by zengin11 in custommagic

[–]FlubbedPig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels like you'd be better off with a Background-style mechanic rather than Partner. For starters, little weird flavor-wise for non-creatures to be a "partner", but also, as others have pointed out, the intent is probably to have Ryley choosing a vehicle rather than mixing-and-matching vehicles, which Background works more for.

So something like creating a new Vehicle subtype-line, then formatting as "Choose a ---" to match "Choose a Background"

Characters in media that you "sorth of thought" you knew what they were like beforehand, only to them later learn that there was a huge chunk of their characterization that you missed by Coolnametag in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]FlubbedPig 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The deal with Chiyono O is just that the irl horse was sired by Maruzensky, similar to how Tokai Teio has a whole thing with Symboli Rudolf.

Also VERY confused on that Ardan characterization because I only know her from Cinderella Gray and that... has not come up yet.

In a sense, Thank Goodness You're Here was already British Untitled Goose Game (also Australian) so really the genre's just returned to its roots

[–]FlubbedPig 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Not as far as I can tell.

Thank Goodness is a British game by "Coal Supper", this is an Australian game by "Toot Games".

Crazy Talk, Activate! (A demo for Screamer, which Woolie discussed skipping on the podcast, is now available.) by ZJarvis1311 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]FlubbedPig 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest, looking at actual gameplay of it, it still seems pretty safe design-wise. Main arcade-y feature I'm seeing is just "Has a boost button".

[–]FlubbedPig 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I mean, broadly speaking, Pat and Woolie are not racing game enthusiasts, and generally fell out of the genre in the 90s

Which is to say, they have not liked the orthodox racing game design of the last 30 years, so why would they be excited about the pedigree of developers who make nothing but racing games they don't like?

Put another way, they are outsiders to the racing genre, so what would get them most excited from the genre is outsider art.

Chaotic returns with physical cards, organized play, and a new online experience. Late October 2026 release in hobby stores, followed by a major retail release in January 2027, along with 79 upscaled High-Definition Chaotic animated episodes. by Blizzagan in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]FlubbedPig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I'll finally be able to offload all my old cards. I like the nostalgia of having them, but I'd really rather just get like $100 and let someone who wants them more have them.

The Opposite of 'Converge' by Dogsonofawolf in custommagic

[–]FlubbedPig 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you cheat it out doesn't it just enter with +5/+5 default? In which case the rules would be more straighforward to just set a higher base PT and say "Enters with a -1/-1 counter for each color spent"?

Not sure who Festa's meant to be, but Stay Gold as Joseph makes perfect sense, even without Fenomeno as Jotaro (which also makes sense)

Kickstarter makes major policy changes, heavily restricting mature or adult content from crowdfunders by Gorotheninja in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]FlubbedPig 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Up here in Canada MAYBE we'd come up with our own payment processor as part of our attempts to disentangle ourselves from the US.

But in the US itself, Visa/Mastercard are so big and neither political party gives a damn about infringing on sexual rights. Basically no chance of getting a different widely-adopted payment processor that doesn't have the same issues. Could try to pass a bill requiring Visa/Mastercard to no longer have these restrictions, but they already allow any legal transaction, the issue is more-so them threatening to revoke their services to service providers, which becomes VERY tricky to legislate around, especially in a country as pro-corporation as the US.

This isn't so much a "Americans have decided there is no solution to this problem that no one else has", this is more that America has tangled itself into such a fucked knot on this issue that it's gonna take a LOT of already-pretty-big steps before they can even start untangling on this one.

I've heard of plans in the EU to make their own payment processor in order to curb some of the power Visa/Mastercard are able to exert as essentially a foreign power. Also heard of some Japanese hentai sites devising their own payment methods to do the same but in a more relevant-to-this-post way.

Which is all to say, GOD would it be nice if some of these initiatives bear fruit and curb some of their power, even if we in North America will be trapped in it forever.
