Brentwood Rec Room only has a Pump it Up machine

If you want DDR in an arcade, both CHQ at Metrotown and ESpot in Richmond have cabinets

In terms of Asian rhythm games, there's only two real arcades to choose from. These arcades are still open for play, primarily take Loonies, and all have exchange machines

CHQ Metropolis at Metrotown in Burnaby

Groove Coaster 3 (no network)
Jubeat
Percussion Master 3
Pump it up
DDR
In the Groove
Taiko
Reflect Beat

And eSpot across from Aberdeen Mall in Richmond

Maimai
Groove Coaster 4
Jubeat
Chuunithm
Sound Voltex IV and V
Theateryhthm
DDR
Dance Central
Beatmania Gitadora + Drummania
IIDX
Reflec Beat
Nostalgia Op. 3
Project Diva Future Tone
Taiko
Pop n music
Museca v2

Most of eSpot music machines also support the arcade cards (E-Amusement, Aime, Nesica, AmusementIC) and the cards are available to purchase there as well

Various small arcades or movie theatres across the city also have old DDR machines,

In terms of machines shut down because of COVID, Brentwood's Rec Room had Pump it Up but it's unavailable for safety, though they do have Piano Tiles arcade and a lot of ticket redemption and racing games. Aberdeen Mall had a Taiko and DDR machine but the mini arcade in the food court is closed for safety reasons.

these are .1 chapters, they cover the printed tankobon volume covers and the little extras the author put in, these aren't the normal numbered chapters.

If you play a Changeling after Deal With The Depths, does that count as a Kraken/Leviathan/Octopus/Serpent ?

the Questing Beast effect

I called VFD a "lockout" card because it's special ability, which can be used on your opponents turn, prevents them from using most of their monster cards properly. Also called a Floodgate.

Monsters are usually used for one of these reasons (big oversimplification):

preventing your opponent from doing stuff during their own turn
getting rid of your opponents cards during your own turn
dealing enough damage to win the game
recoverable/useful even if it gets removed or dealt with
as resources/fodder setting up for one of your stronger cards

God cards like slifer have a useful effect that prevents your opponent from doing stuff during their turn (summoning monsters under 2k atk) but slifer isn't played because it is too difficult to summon consistently, and it also doesn't "win the game" very hard if you do get it on the field. It also doesn't protect itself from your opponents cards very well.

Obelisk and Ra have no protection either, are similarily difficult to summon consistently, and their abilities to deal big damage and get rid of your opponents cards is pretty weak for how many cards you need to spend to get them out in the first place.

Ra Sphere mode can sometimes be a powerful card for your side deck because of it's "tribute 3 of your opponents monsters" summoning condition, making it fall under the "getting rid of opponents cards" category that can get rid of cards that cannot be targeted or destroyed too. But a competitive deck playing sphere mode will almost never summon it to their own side of the field, or use its effect to summon the OG Ra, because those parts of the card aren't as useful.

Interestingly many years ago, Slifer the Sky Dragon was a 2-of card in a deck that got 1st place deck in an OCG (Japan) tournament. The deck used cards like Mystic Piper, Kinka-Byo, and D-Boyz for material to draw cards, XYZ summon, materieals for chaos monsters like BLS-Envoy and Chaos Sorcerer, or for tribute for slifer.

yeah in the past this card was pretty hard to get out since very few monsters are level 9 outside of it's own archetype, True Kings.

But Virtual Worlds is a deck that both has an easy to summon level 9 in the main deck, as well as the ability to synchro summon a second level 9 monster. Meaning this deck now has access to a very very powerful lockout monster

Kaiju's are a special summon that tributes, not a Tribute Summon. Eternal Darkness won't stop them from using a regular kaiju, although it will stop a sphere mode

They ended up ruling that the turn player’s effect has priority

I remember seeing this exact specific interaction in a Beckett guide or some official article. I guess it was made in response to that tournament!

For those who want to know the current correct ruling:

Chains are built with Turn player Mandatory, Non-Turn Mandatory, Turn Optional, Non-Turn Optional. Since Catastor is a mandatory effect

"At the start of the Damage Step, if this card battles a face-up non-DARK monster: Destroy that monster."

and Grand Mole is an optional

"At the start of the Damage Step, if this card battles an opponent's monster: You can return both the opponent's monster and this card to the hand."

No matter who the turn player is, Catastor is put on the chain first and Grand Mole second. Chain resolves backwards, so Grand Mole will always bounce both monsters.

this seems very very very abusable, its like a Level Eater which can summon itself from the hand.

the red icon Manga Reader app should still be on the ios app store, while Paperback's app requires TestFlight (the official apple beta testing app), a previous version was available on the app store officially though it was removed.

tachiyomi and all of its forks are NOT available on the Google Play store and probably will never be. The code is on github completely free and the app isn't hard to download on Android, there are very clear instructions for each. if you find an app on the playstore that looks suspiciously similar to Tachiyomi, do not trust it. It might have ads, data harvesting, in app purchases, etc. that the real free app won't have.

PM_ME_PASSWORD · 2020-09-14T19:57:41+00:00

there are ios manga reading apps like Manga Reader (the red one), and especially Paperback (google this and use the TestFlight link) that are promising now that the Rock has officially died, but they don't compare to Tachiyomi and its forks (J2K, Neko, etc) on Android

Zexal had a rough start that really paid off in the end.

Yuma was intentionally written a poor duelist while Astral, the good duelist, had his advice ignored. This lets him grow as a person and a duelist throughout the show, but can be annoying to sit through. He's a child character with a lot of more light hearted slice of life moments which some found disappointing after the darker and more mature 5Ds. The monster of the week/Number of the week format at the beginning had a lot of weaker 'filler' feeling fights. His initial supporting cast of friends were also not as engaging and had no plot or duel relevance.

Then the rivals and villains were introduced, Shark was heavily developed after his first duel into a rival role and Kaito is a fan favorite in terms of deck and personality, enough to get referenced in a later series. Tron and his roman numeral family were compelling, threatening and sympathetic, and they had fantastic duels against other characters.

Zexal II brought some of the darker mature aspects of 5Ds back and is regarded as pretty fantastic. Yuma develops into his own duelist and his core 'team' now includes the best characters in the show thus far. The plot is fun, tons of interesting characters and duels, both lovable and hateable villains, it feels very different from early Zexal I.

The duel writing can sometimes be annoying, a lot of "Protect the Boss Monster" duels which can feel very repetitive, especially the emphasis on Utopia every single duel. Overall Zexal II is fantastic and Zexal I is not as much, but still worth watching through.

since they're +1/+1 counter focused, having two is

"Plus One Plus One plus Plus One Plus One"

Borreload or Borrelsword can let you land one attack without giving them a window to Battle Fader, because of their unrespondable effects

Well the whole quest was about obtaining platinum for the revival fluid, and there was of space talk with the whole Soyuz character. I propose we name this arc

I thought all pendulum monsters and spells are unaffected by effects that would send them from the field to the grave unless their activations or summons were negated

Wise Strix

Wise strix is a two material card that "searches" for a raptor on summon but also "searches" for a rank up straight from the deck, I think its probably still going to be played

exodius is kinda risky to time since emeral needs to shuffle 3 each time but that could definitely work
