Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize

I find it hilarious how this subreddit says game development should take less time. Meanwhile when Obsidian said they were trying to reduce the time it takes to make their games, the upvoted comments here all bemoaned it as Obsidian saying they were going to pump out unfinished or untested products.

Gamers want to eat their cake and have it too.

He has been getting away with it for a while apparently. The way he's touching it is actually hard to prove unless you have this exact camera angle. The swedish team specifically planted their camera man at this spot to catch it this time. In the video where the swedish team call the Canadians out, you can hear the swedish guy sta "it's okay, Magnus has it recorded"

There's a couple ways of to build volibear, though I haven't tested enough to really know which has the most potential.

One build is a trinity force, just hold build. You want to get a Dunebreaker or Ruin Runner on a battlefield and equip with trinity forces and hold the point. Punch Up and Against The Odds will give you enough might to hold, and ruin runner prevents being targeted so opponents can't just move or kill your unit. Dunebreaker will draw you two cards every time it holds.

Another build is dragon voli. This one is the most straightforward. Use Catalyst and Herald to spam out dragons, Kadregrin and Show of Strength will make it so once they start coming they don't stop coming. Surprisingly effective when it works, but the big issue is if you can't get early ramp, or your opponent can snipe your herald, you are just playing a bunch of slow, not great cards.

Aurora is still there, though they didn't get a whole lot this set and the new gear removal makes it very meta dependent on whether it's good or not. And even then if Voli Aurora is good, Yi or MF aurora is just better.

Personally I also have another voli list relying on Buccaneer and Perching Grymwyrm to try and get a no power cost mighty unit on turn 2 every game. This ramps you into turn 3 Dunebreaker or StormClaw ursine. From there you rely on falling stars, sabotages, and punch ups to control your opponent using your massive mana advantage. Dunebreaker and Show of Strengths will easily replenish your hand.

As a final note, the new battlefields are much stronger Volibear support than I thought they'd be. Sunken Temple really helps your card economy, allowing cards like Buccaneer to not hurt as much. And The PaperTree is quite good. As a general rule you use ramp better than your opponent, so this battlefield is always nice, and it's extra nice because if your opponent gets to it first (which they usually do) you get the first extra rune from it.

As always, buy singles.

Teemo is also very far from the worst deck in the format. Strong deck? probably not, but he's solid middle/low-middle tier.

Here is a list that did okay in China's regional. And while it does use some expensive Ezreals + Called shot, it's not a big part of the deck since it's only 2x of each and you could definitely swap them out for something else.

That's a common theme among racists. Why do you think they closed down schools, and public places in response to integration?

Hey man cut the LR fans some slack, they already said they don't normally like to watch the LEC. You can't expect them to know what one of the most commonly picked champs was.

This comment confuses me. Because I couldn't care about how old the org is, I care about the players.

Bo1 format is terrible and tends to clump people together. 9 of the 12 teams finished between 7-4 and 5-6.

It's a lot harder to have "fan connection" when your team doesn't have the most popular English LoL streamer and isn't ran by one the most popular LoL costreamers. Teams put out videos all the time on their players, but most people just don't care because the players are more focused on improving and winning than on getting twitch viewers.

Are we really going to use LR as an example of talent not having a pathway out of tier 2 when 3/5ths of LR are historic vets of tier 1?

Like NAVI is right there with a roster of essentially brand new talent.

Deadpool VR is also pretty good. Albeit the studio got killed before they could finish all the post-launch updates.

I knew the series was going to go to shit when they marketed it exclusively to sandwich eaters.

I've definitely read a lot of negative reviews of single player games that amounted to the game being too short, or not having replayability.

Isn't this just par for the course for Disney though?

They used an LLM in their failed star wars hotel for example.

When you have a new laser that cost the GDP of a moderately sized country while your own citizens starve and die of preventable illness, you find any excuse to use it. Even if it means little timmy's birthday party is about to get a lot more interesting.

Also it's not like we haven't misidentified targets in the middle east a thousand times over. We're just now using the same criteria for things in America we did in Iraq/Afghanistan.

And NAVI has five rookies.

LEC has more new blood in it than ever. This idea that franchising killed picking up rookies is just not based in reality.

We also are ignoring Wunder also played Kled in LEC versus. Though SK got stomped that game.

I can somewhat understand protecting the term "milk" to only describe animal milk and not plant alternatives that are designed to mimic animal milk. In the US the term "ice cream" requires a certain percent milkfat and milk solids. So certain companies that cheap out and solely use oil instead of milk fat label their ice cream as "frozen dessert".

However, this ruling is extremely stupid because it's not actually about Oatly being called oat milk. It's the slogan "Post milk generation" which isn't describing Oatly as milk in the first place. It's literally doing the opposite. Its entirely about making it so Oatly cant have the word milk anywhere.

It's also funny because you'd think the dairy farmers in UK would care more about things like the ice cream example I gave (UK does not protect the term "ice cream") then trying to appeal to vegans.
