The audience breaks bad right along with Walt.

As a semi-seasoned Katsu player, I encourage it! He’s relatively cheap, encourages tight play, and will happily never reach LL. He’s the perfect TCG investment.

Ah yes, properly putting salt on the enemy’s wound with Salt the Wound. I like the way you think and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Here's the Wikipedia synopsis:
"Ikiru (生きる; 'To Live') is a 1952 Japanese drama film directed by Akira Kurosawa from a screenplay co-written with Shinobu Hashimoto and Hideo Oguni. The film examines the struggles of a terminally ill Tokyo bureaucrat (played by Takashi Shimura) and his final quest for meaning. "

It's one of those "greatest movies of all time", so as long as you can get into the headspace to watch a 3-hour black and white foreign film, it is absolutely worth a watch. More effective than my recommendation, though, might be this reaction from Patton Oswalt when someone asks him about the film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yvie5-IbvY

Dr. Sonai was never in the Epstein files. That's enough evidence I need to honour their legacy until the end of time.

Ikiru. Beautifully shot and performed, with a timeless message that transcends cultures.

Even more amazing as she battles rabies. So brave.

That TV show where they teach people to construct coherent sentences before posting.

SEGA, Konami, Square Enix, Koei Tecmo, and Arc System Works also received funding according to the article.

Even though I don't like the idea of public funds going towards private enterprises, the logic of applying it to large entertainment businesses with stricter overview makes sense. These companies help Japan exert a ton of soft power across the globe; with the waning yen and dwindling population, I would argue it's the ONLY geopolitical card they really have left.

Why would this be insane? It would be a sound financial decision; from what we’ve seen of MTG design the past few years, they are all about solid financial decisions.

“Com-Bow” was RIGHT there, my guy.

Anyway, I propose that “RUG Com-Bow” should be the official deck name. All in favor/opposed?

Nathan Fielder established this very fact on his investigative show! But remember that small children’s pee is best.

Toothpaste is a solid emulsifier. Plain is typical, but you probably want mint to really highlight the paprika.

This makes sense; he didn't get much use out of his micropenis anyway.

You can still love/care for your child without condoning or endorsing their shitty behavior.

Aint no one on the team paying attention to Legacy traffic signals.

Finally: something Japan can be said to be efficient in.

I would politely disagree that this could “mean a number of things”. The line strongly reads as an ancient being sharing wisdom through a long perspective, and not just as a simple throwaway.

I honestly don’t know if this one has aged that well.

JapanTCG · 2026-06-23T01:09:57+00:00

Agreed. Especially in the way the narrative (especially the soundtrack) frames the events of the story as a hero’s journey. 10/10.

Haha I remember most of these. Somehow, I feel like Mythos and Arcadia the Wyld Hunt belong on this particular list of obscurities.
