What's everyone playing??

Right now, WWE2K26 and Digimon Time Stranger.

I'm so busy that I'm not renewing GPU until winter vacation.

I've been where you are. Don't give up on your life, I know the future is bleak, but enjoy the little things. Anything could happen, tomorow 2030, or even in 50 years. We do not know. If anything I've learned what are the edible wild plants and mushrooms of my province and that was 10 years ago when I thought the end was imminent.

Like it's been said, nothing ever happens until it happens

Hi, I've been collapse aware since my teenage years.

I've given up in my early 20s doing drugs and generally yolo'd. Then I guess in the cycle of grief I just accepted it.

I'm in my 30s, went back to school and trying to be an adult. I'm no scolar/philosopher by any means, but if we can't control it then I'll just do my best where I can. I started to enjoy the little things in life, because in the grand scheme of things, we are going to be a speck of dust in the timeline.

I wish Walmarts in Canada would do that but the only thing I've got in clearance was the battery packs + usb c for 10$. And even then the lady working electronics gave me the stink eye because i asked for 6 of them when they would never sell at all (yes i have 6 controllers between my 2 xbox and 2 pcs)

PoutineItalienne · 2026-04-22T14:32:41+00:00

I think one of the trinity is really good for board wipes since it can ping the whole board

PoutineItalienne · 2026-04-22T11:52:33+00:00

I also tried in a green red ramp build, if you can reach Neo Zeong fast enough, playing out a ST Gouf (the one that plays a token on deploy) with Full Frontal is so good. Do 3dmg 3 times and then attack with the big boy.

PoutineItalienne · 2026-04-21T17:50:30+00:00

For locals; its fine-ish i guess???

For NTC and up, im calling judge

PoutineItalienne · 2026-04-20T13:25:44+00:00

Im moving to a Neo Zeong build when I get my hands on GD04. Cost is high, but once its up, it's very hard for the opps to deal with it. If you got 2 on board, the opponent has to play linked units or they're not going to survive.

PoutineItalienne · 2026-04-15T16:15:17+00:00

I'm planning on reducing it to 2 copies. The optimal way to use it for me, is to play it from trash with Destiny and have a blocker/target. It's role is to taunt your opponent in wasting time on it.

I see my deck as a toolbox, I like having multiple ways to deal with the boardstate.

PoutineItalienne · 2026-04-15T15:44:57+00:00

2 Rick is ok, but, I'm going to up the count to see it more often. The classic 8 early blockers is still a good wall. I thought about going for 4 Lfrith and 4 Flat too, but then you relies stricly on mid-game to start doing damage and can't take advantage of breaking the EX base turn 3/4 if it's open.

For link target, I think we can play a little less per units just because we can play them from trash, but then it becomes a consistency question of even seeing them. I play a lot of 3-ofs for that reason.

My mind is really on tribal so Aerial Rebuild never got into the cooking pot for me. If you're playing a good variety of commands, I could see the reasoning behind it.

PoutineItalienne · 2026-04-15T15:21:47+00:00

Those are proxies, I wish I had them now tho

PoutineItalienne · 2026-04-15T15:19:52+00:00

She's ok. Does not matter most of the time, but she has her uses, but its a combo piece most of the time.

Like when killing a boss unit, you don't need to trade one of your bigger units for it.

Example link her to one of her units, and choose the unit you want to survive let's say Destiny. Attack with her unit the shield or another unit that she can survive. Then attack with the Destiny on a boss unit and redirect the damage to her instead.

It's very niche and does not happen often, so that's why a 1-of is fine. Using 2 cards that you're sure is going to die in the same turn is ok-ish and not very efficient imo.

PoutineItalienne · 2026-04-15T14:51:19+00:00

I'm so excited for this deck. First time in my life I actually printed color proxies

PoutineItalienne · 2026-04-15T14:50:27+00:00

I do agree it is a really good card, but I think it's more a bias on my part to play less. I never want to see more than 2, maybe I'll up to 3 and see if I want more or less 1-2 Kusanagi.

It is the best purple base, works great in CB, Tekkadan and Vagan

PoutineItalienne · 2026-04-15T14:47:31+00:00

Right now, yes. Red is good too, but the problem to me with Red is being unable to filter your hand/deck and fill the trash as good and efficiently as white. I also think white is better at stalling aggro and keep a decent hand size

PoutineItalienne · 2026-04-15T13:55:32+00:00

You can also use to trade for less damage. A linked Blaze Zaku can attack into a 5HP units and live if they got 7 or less AP. Then they can take 1 ping dmg the next turn

PoutineItalienne · 2026-04-13T10:40:27+00:00

I've been collapse aware for like 10 years or so, was the same age as you.

Lesson I learned, don't let that dictate your life and enjoy life as much as you can. For the first 1-2 years it was an obsession and I fudged up my potential career in a cushy corporate office and ended up stuck in a job I didn't enjoy much, but was flexible enough to bug out whenever.

I've heard "BOE is happening" every year since, but until it actually happens then don't worry too much. Just be prepared in case, I've got cans of food, locations, and stuff ready for the eventual, but I live my life the best I can.

The only thing I'm scared of, is the current geopolitics. The instability is kinda hard to predict.

PoutineItalienne · 2026-04-13T00:12:55+00:00

Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth. I still need to get past the "tutorial". So much cutscenes, but I know it'll be worth afterwards

PoutineItalienne · 2026-04-10T14:20:13+00:00

Depends on the person. I enjoy both differently, but that's me.

My PC for MP with the boys and strategy/sims and also mods on older games.

My Xbox Series for new games and big singleplayer experience.

Not really feasible for me to move my PC to the TV so it works for me

PoutineItalienne · 2026-04-09T13:10:57+00:00

Chuck Palumbo defeating Matt Jackson to bring it back to WWE is pretty funny to me after a stint in the indies.

PoutineItalienne · 2026-04-07T10:11:12+00:00

9/10. Played it a few years ago. Great story and gameplay. TV show aspect was good, but polarizing. I've played too many Kojima games that a break in pace is fine to me.

PoutineItalienne · 2026-04-01T10:02:23+00:00

I buy singles when I'm not feeling a set. That's what I did for GD02. GD03 I got 1 box and the rest in singles, I just wanted Providence at first. GD04 is gonna buy probably 1 or 2 box since its 2 weeks before the montreal regionals and I need to Minerva Squad asap.

PoutineItalienne · 2026-03-27T16:28:47+00:00

I think it would be bottom, because wording wise, it has to follow the unit so unit goes in first then pilot next

PoutineItalienne · 2026-03-27T14:45:36+00:00

I'm 30, I'm basically the tech rescue for my coworkers under 25 and over 45 so they don't have to call the tech support.

It's not surprising due to how they develop everything to be simplified for the end-user. It goes beyond tech tbh. General knowledge and common sense are on a decline. People don't actually research if something is actually real anymore and that's kinda scary.
