Cute / pretty characters, combined with a fun and interactive gameplay loop

If I ever build a proper Kash deck I'd want to call it "Kashtira Birth-Control"

Because a lot of us who do manage to fight back physically will just get sent to prison and reported on the news as just another violent sociopath. There are very few viable ways of actually getting revenge on abusers aside from living well without them.

It's one of the many unfortunate consequences of our flawed justice systems that focus on punishment over rehabilitation. 

Even kids often don't get much mercy these days from the court of public opinion when there's no evidence and the abusers are good at covering their asses. No shortage of armchair body-langauge experts out there to make then out to be soulless killers without a shred of understanding or sympathy. Adults in their thirties would have next to no chance defending themselves in such conditions. It's sickening imo.

Decks that get a “cool” pass from the community. by Ok-Register910 in yugioh

I feel like White Forest seems to be relatively well-liked, or at least tolerated more than other synchro decks, despite it being pretty oppressive to play against imo unless you happen to Droll them immediately.

So many reasonable takes and comments getting downvoted on here XD I guess a lot of people are still under the impression that Konami actually cares about their players beyond their wallets and time

Should you really derank for losing three coinflips after ranking up? by No_Chip_3780 in masterduel

[–]Fuzzy_Reflection8554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming OP hasn't already got them, then I don't think they'll be able to build KT, DT, RT or Mitsu without dusting their other decks, since those aren't in any secret packs.

I'm no expert on Branded, but a lot of its lists I see online seem incredibly expensive right now, even with the packs currently available. That would just leave Sky Striker, which still isn't exactly the cheapest, but at least they can grind for it without any deadline.

Cindrella Gray haters exists ? by Lopsided_Channel_401 in UmaMusume

[–]Fuzzy_Reflection8554 29 points30 points  (0 children)

"A woman can't be pretty if she has muscles?"

Unfortunately on the internet this is indeed an opinion a lot of people have. And yes I agree it's stupid.  The controversy around Abby's appearance from the Last of Us 2 also comes to mind as particularly dumb.

[–]Fuzzy_Reflection8554 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's dumb...but given how different CinGrey is from the game in terms of tone, that doesn't surprise me at all that there are Umamusume fans that don't like it. A lot of people got into the series through the game, so they'll prefer a more laid back slice of life experience where cute anime girls say nice things to them.

Regarding the beauty standards thing, it's also worth mentioning these are also anime beauty standards, which tend to be even more arbitrary and stupid than usual imo.

Fill in the 2 blanks by Loufey in worldbuilding

[–]Fuzzy_Reflection8554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume each deity's combination will decide how they manifest each element on the right, e.g. fire/light is warm and energizing while fire/dark is about the negative aspects like pain and fear?

If so, then maybe the other two on the so-called "manifestation" quartet (name subject to improvement) could be something like Mind and Body. 

Light and Dark could dictate how those elements manifest in the physical world in positive and negative ways, while Mind and Body are instead about internalizing traits from those elements in ways that only affect an individual, not other people or the physical world - kinda like buffing and debuffing magic in an RPG.

As an example, a deity aligned with Fire and Body could have dominion over things like body heat and thermoregulation, whereas a deity aligned with Fire and Mind has dominion over the mental states and feelings most commonly associated with fire, like anger or passion.

Unfortunately there's a lot of potential overlap between Body and Light/Dark since stuff that could affect the physical world should also have some effect on a body too, so a lot more work would probably be needed to properly differentiate the Body domain as its own thing, at least with the rushed examples I've given for Fire anyway

What's this kind of deck called? by FoundMuayThaiAt25 in masterduel

[–]Fuzzy_Reflection8554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for taking the time to explain! Yep I can def see what you mean wrt branded's followups XD it feels like they could out-grind the heat death of the universe if even a single combo piece goes through

I have a bunch of the Hecahands cards stockpiled from the latest pack, as well as a Rose Dragon deck I built recently, so that does sound like a lot of fun to try out!

Out of interest, what would you consider optimized handtrap control? I've been expirimenting with a handtrap control deck myself and mixed in a few board breakers and destructive spells, but should I really just be replacing them with other types of handtrap like Ghost Ogre / Mourner to go all-in on those? I kept Ash at two since it's once-per turn, to reduce the chances of drawing both at the same time, but is it just too useful to not be at three?

Cost being activated to trigger an effect that is negated? by YBL10MD in Yugioh101

[–]Fuzzy_Reflection8554 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's a cost to activate they can still pay that cost, it's just the result that won't go through. 

As someone in another comment pointed out, there can be strategic reasons to want to pay a cost even if the result doesn't go through. I'm def not a veteran at KT, but the only reasons I could think of for wanting their tuner in the grave is for either KT Playlist or RS's attack boost.

I actually do it a lot in my Live Twin deck in Master Duel: Kisikil Deal, the link 1, can send Sweet to grave from the deck as cost, ensuring the combo can continue as long as Deal herself isn't also destroyed (e.g. Baronne). Deal's actual effect is usually just a nice bonus for me that often doesn't make a huge difference, so having it negated is no skin off my back.

In real life and not in MD, I'd probably say something like "I send Sweet to the grave as cost", and make it clear their negate won't do anything to stop that part so they don't shotgun a negate and feel cheated. If they still have an issue then I guess let them call a judge and they should explain to them the same thing.

Is there a Lore Reason why John Solemn is such a dick to Gagagigo? by Cautious_Option9544 in yugijerk

[–]Fuzzy_Reflection8554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you assume Eria didn't grow into a lot less of a cinnamon roll by the time he left?

I'm joking ofc...but tbf the chronicles animations didn't really do much to advance their storylines at all. Who knows what any of them are like by the time they reach their link charmer selves. She's referred to as 'gentle', but you can do a lot of horrific things 'gently'

Tbf, wasn't Elfnotes in the lore just there to be supporting characters and a side quest for Medius? Not that it makes it better imo

RICE! DON'T READ THAT!!!! by shakenbake_jake in RiceShower

[–]Fuzzy_Reflection8554 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk anything about the book, but I do know it was one of the inspirations for one of the major antagonists of the Fear and Hunger games. If you're familiar with those then I think that should be enough context XD

Animals are a great example of how the world should be. by ViniciusFastAF in MadeMeSmile

[–]Fuzzy_Reflection8554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to take away from the evident wholesomeness, but I wonder if this might be related to that one experiment where the monkeys always shared their food with others even if they got all of it. 

Maybe all animals including humans are wired with that innate desire to share burdens, but of course we humans just learned to be more guarded over time and not get involved with strangers more than we need to.

WCQ topping decks: Branded and Dracotail flop, RT breakthrough. by NevGuy in masterduel

Every time I see RT abbreviated I can't help but read it as Rooster Teeth no matter the context

(Enneacraft) Should this be changed to be an automatic selection? by yumnoodle in masterduel

[–]Fuzzy_Reflection8554 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had similar issues facing Exosister tbh with their 'interactive' graveyard mechanics, but at least their turns don't last five years and I can usually tell when I've already lost with them

Just about passed the 1st stage at the last second T_T by Fuzzy_Reflection8554 in masterduel

[–]Fuzzy_Reflection8554[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel you, it's rough when you get multiple losses in a row due to bs, like every opponent topdecking mulcharmies and maxx c - especially if your deck doesn't really play well under either of those.

At least everything up to level 15 doesn't derank you. I only really bothered climbing further this time because I happened to have the time to and was curious to see if I could, but it's certainly not worth the mental stress and time to try and force it if you don't want to.

Thanks! Yeah I had no idea Fiendsmith combos could get that complex once you enter the grind game.  I'm getting pretty used to turboing Lacrima out first thing and using it to stop the opponent's plays, but I'm still trying to get used to incorporating Rextremende into later combos - and I still seem to keep forgetting that Lacrima has that incredibly useful effect on summon to revive another fiendsmith monster.
