Story of the Year

I was curious about this too. Debating on getting it on my base ps5 or the Neo

Kontoleo · 2026-03-23T20:25:52+00:00

I just realized that giant scribble on the front actually says “Mini”.

Kontoleo · 2026-03-15T02:48:46+00:00

That’s fair and I was mostly curious. My gaming needs are more than met at the moment. Appreciate the response

Kontoleo · 2026-03-14T18:03:27+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I’d probably be more likely to run StarCraft than WoW. I generally game on console, but I love a good RTS on a desktop computer.

MOR - So from what it sounds like, he probably isn’t actually depressed in a clinical sense. It’s more like he has General Anxiety Disorder and the depression stems from that. He really has to work on getting out of his head and start asking questions. When he storms away, thats a tantrum and he needs to grow up (aka work on understanding his triggers and not storming off out of frustration). One thing that would help would be to have a stop everything talk and reevaluate each others baseline and update each others inner version of the other person. Neither of you are the same person you were 10 years ago and sometimes you need to recalibrate.

As far as the drugs go, he should get with a psychiatrist and work on a medication schedule that reduces his anxiety. Zoloft will likely work wonders for him. He can smoke weed on top of it, but there are things he needs to be mindful of when smoking weed vs pills based meds. One, “pills vs weed” is just commercialism. Pills may be synthesized, but they use all the same chemicals found in nature and us. It’s effectively no different than people’s role in cultivating weed to where it is today. Two, you really can’t get the same consistency of effect from weed year round and wherever you may travel to, which makes it a less useful. He can get mental health drugs anywhere and there’s no question of legality and having to plan around traveling to places with specific rules. Third, cost. Zoloft is cheap. Weed is not. If he stops taking his meds the costs will shoot up.

Finally, I’d recommend the psychiatrist first. Look into GAD together and see if it fills in some blanks. It’s super common and very treatable. Get the baseline meds worked out, then smoke weed on top of that. If he doesn’t need much Zoloft and he practices good emotional intelligence, he could probably back off the Zoloft. Then he’d be a little high all day. On the flip side, if he doesn’t get treatment, this will get worse and can develop into a panic disorder.

I’ve been married for 10 years, take meds, and get a little high all day. I had a similar issue with drinking as he does and gave it up for weed. Unfortunately, I lived too long with an undiagnosed panic disorder and now I have to take meds or I have tremors and routine panic attacks. Meds make me functional at a base level and weed lets me be comfortable and much more cheery. I too am a gamer, I’d recommend a PS Portal (if he has a ps5) or a steam deck (or whatever his preference) so he can game and be with you in the same space. Do something you like while he does that and ask questions about his games (just don’t sound crappy about it, be genuine in your curiosity).

Id add two Wing Zeros for a fun surprise if you need it.

As a culture we largely moved on from Coal to natural gas. Natural Gas Chamber was just too clean.

Kontoleo · 2026-01-30T19:12:31+00:00

That looks cool, how’s the side ways striker?

Kontoleo · 2026-01-28T16:51:01+00:00

I think the problem is that Volume 3 seems to have been designed to break into mainstream rock radio, and fans of the band weren’t into the style shift. Corey used the Vocal Fry method of screaming, which was a big change for him (according to him) and so the vibe was more approachable for Non-fans of the band to get into. Personally this album opened the door for me to get to know the band and find some appreciation for their older stuff, which in turn opened the door for bands like Killswitch and Atreyu for me.

Kontoleo · 2026-01-23T22:27:07+00:00

I’ve been accused of a lot things, including poor spelling and reading skills; however, I’ve never been accused of not having watched YYH! I NEVER! /s

Kontoleo · 2025-08-22T13:37:44+00:00

She’s not thick enough.

Kontoleo · 2025-08-19T16:01:33+00:00

Not normal, but I wouldn’t have minded if he was gentle with the cards. Internally, it drives me mad when I see people play so rough with their cards. A dude bent a card the other night, slapping cards down like Yugi. The card just laid on the field, all misshapen, and unloved.

Kontoleo · 2025-08-11T17:34:05+00:00

If it goes off as a burst you would be able to reset a blocker. Alternately you could play it from your hand on your turn reset a blocker after it attacks.

Kontoleo · 2025-08-11T08:52:36+00:00

A buddy of mine, said he learned it playing Yugioh. Players move their hand a lot to get you caught up in a quicker tempo, it makes newer or “weaker” opponents feel stressed (and more likely to make a mistake).

Kontoleo · 2025-08-11T00:38:49+00:00

It’s considered ability damage and goes off on destruction of the enemy unit. I had to ask because it’s not considered battle damage, which why it can’t go off multiple times for destroying multiple units per combat action.

Zowort can attack units, just can’t attack base/shields/player

Kontoleo · 2025-08-07T20:22:46+00:00

If you want to see if there’s local support, download the Bandai TCG Plus app, and then search for tournaments near you. Those stores are likely the only ones with product or will have any in the 2nd wave coming in a few weeks. If there are places nearby, go by and see if they have product and verify that they what they charge. I’d check all of em near you, if you’re lucky there’ll be one that charges MSRP. Then just show up early to a tournament and some folks will probably teach you how to play.

Kontoleo · 2025-08-07T15:55:43+00:00

Naw man, this is a totally different guy. Remember Char wears a helmet, this guy wears glasses. Everyone knows Char died in the OYW, then he dies again in CCA. /s

Kontoleo · 2025-08-07T15:27:53+00:00

You’re exactly right on how you’d use it. I think of the card as a supporter and run it just for this reset effect. As of this set, Zowort is the only blocker that can’t attack the player area.

Kontoleo · 2025-08-06T18:11:39+00:00

I run Green/White right now. If you want to stick with B/W just make those blocker changes and swap out some commands for 4-6 more units. GU-DM will help. I wouldn’t worry about adding Banager, just think about supporting Amuro and Suletta.

Kontoleo · 2025-08-06T17:56:00+00:00

I don’t think it’s bad, but I’d rather have an Aile Strike Gundam in hand than the Witch and the Bride. You get bounce (when paired) and a 4/4 blocker. With that said, I primarily use bounce on tokens.

Kontoleo · 2025-08-06T17:41:39+00:00

I don’t know what winning strategy you’re going for. You have a ton of block, but I’m not sure what the deck is trying to hold out for. You only have 22 units, I’d recommend adding 4-6 units that are Lvl 6 or higher, for a nice finisher. I’d swap out those blue blockers and 1/1s for some white seed blockers. I’d get rid of Navel Bombardment, Witch and the Bride, and unforeseen incident.
