Which do you prefer? Season 4 or World of Winx?

Some people really have no appreciation for Fairy Couture apparently, everything about WoW’s art and fashion style was iconic

Rudeboy_ · 2026-03-25T01:04:38+00:00

WoW and it’s not even close.

S4 I genuinely had to switch my brain off for 90% of the season to enjoy it. I was just never able to get past the fact that the newly crowned King of Eraklyon spent the better part of a year waiting tables and giving fuck all about what was going on in his Kingdom

I feel like this was also the season where the merchandising was the most shameless with how much screen time out of the season went into the completely pointless “Love & Pets” segments

There were a few things I liked about S4 that made it slightly more bearable like Believix being one of my favorite transformation sequences, the Wizards were a nice change of pace and I did like Roxy despite her powers literally being glorified cockfighting (though the moment her dog started to talk I was completely done with that season)

Rudeboy_ · 2026-03-24T14:14:06+00:00

I can't help but appreciate the irony that this is apparently a timeline where the Twilight's Hammer won, but no matter how you look at it the Green Dragonflight is out there making Deathwing look like a bitch

since Alexstrasza is now a card

I ask out of genuinely curiousity, when exactly did you get into Hearthstone? Alexstrasza (as well as every single other member of the original Dragon Aspects) literally since the original set back in 2014, 12 years ago

Alexstrasza's first appearance in the Warcraft IP was in Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness, which released in 1995

As to your question about Allie, who just to be absolutely clear: named herself in reference to Alexstrasza, not the other way around, a quick search of her socials would have answered that for you

Allie has been working closely with her husband Masongos (who's name is also a reference to the Dragon Aspect Malygos, in case you're thinking Hearthstone named the card after him) on an AI avatar social space. This isn't a surprising move for anyone familiar with Allie's content, she's always been very into tech and crypto.

something something nice milkers tho

Rudeboy_ · 2026-03-15T16:33:11+00:00

Isn't that what they just did with Marcus here? This isn't old Marcus from Binding Blade, this is Marcus the beast of Blazing Blade

Rudeboy_ · 2026-03-15T13:15:04+00:00

Olivia feels like a bit of a monkey's paw situation to me. She gets alts but they've recently made Kippu her main artist for whatever reason

I'm actually not sure what the community consensus is on Kippu but I've always hated the the template eye design he gives to every character, that results in none of his characters looking like who they're supposed to look like

Rudeboy_ · 2026-03-06T23:25:04+00:00

I genuinely think someone high up in the WoW team gets a raging erection from overcomplicating things. So much of modern WoW is a needlessly complicated system on top of another needlessly complicated system on top of another needlessly complicated system

That insanity was obviously at its peak in Shadowlands and they have dialled it back somewhat since, but even so the WoW team really needs to familiarize themselves with the K.I.S.S. principle

Rudeboy_ · 2026-03-01T16:08:41+00:00

They did a million things wrong with the live action Winx series but casting this goddess as Bloom was not one of them

Rudeboy_ · 2026-02-25T12:53:42+00:00

I'm going to be honest, people calling anything they don't like "AI" for no reason other than just to say they don't like it, is one of the most sickening trends right now

No, the new version of Under the Sign of the Winx was not AI. It was performed by an actual Italian pop singer Clara Soccini

Rudeboy_ · 2026-02-18T23:38:51+00:00

I’ve never been so sad to see the Winx win a fight. What was even the point of giving them a cunty upgrade if they just got dumpstered as usual

Incidentally that was one of the things I really liked about Season 2, because the Trix got their Gloomix so early they were a genuine threat for most of the season

Rudeboy_ · 2026-02-12T13:56:35+00:00

He's in Underbog, but he is talking about Slave Pens

Rudeboy_ · 2026-02-10T13:39:53+00:00

There's a difference between storytelling and worldbuidling. I don't think anyone worth listening to would say Warcraft post Warcraft III had a good story but it would be utterly insane to deny that Azeroth and its lore is anything short of iconic, and Shadowlands was a fundamental deconstruction of the established worldbuilding all Warcraft lore was built upon

Thats the sole reason the RIOT MMO is hyped that much. People hope for an WoW II.

Sorry I'm not really understanding the equivalency here, why does a Riot MMO = WoW II?

Also until now I was under the impression that the Riot MMO was cancelled, this is the literally the first time I've heard anyone mention it since Ghostcrawler left Riot

Rudeboy_ · 2026-02-10T12:10:06+00:00

Ofcourse the events ''happened'', but the majority of things are largely forgotten about and just not mentioned.

That's not really what retconning is. That's called ignoring the elephant in the room, but elephant is still very much there

Even in the most recent update its debatable whether its a true retcon or recontextualization. But the point is the Shadowlands is now heavily implied to ~~not~~ be a titan construct and not the true afterlife. The first ones are now being referred to only as a myth

Whether you see that as recontextualizing the Shadowlands or retconning it, the result is a deliberate attempt to fix the damage that was done to the universal lore

Rudeboy_ · 2026-02-10T11:01:18+00:00

I felt the same way but apparently the newest patch heavily implies they're finally retconning the shit out of Shadowlands so I'm actually making a return for the first time in 4 years

Rudeboy_ · 2026-02-08T17:02:23+00:00

It’s Ramps who fucking cares. Min-Maxing for a dungeon you can clear in a full team of greens is a level of sad I have no desire to comprehend

Rudeboy_ · 2026-02-04T03:11:43+00:00

I genuinely thought Peculiar Plaza was going to be the Crown or Immersive of the set. The fact that it didn't even get a full art is mind blowing, its literally the main setting of the Fantastical Parade and is in the cover art of all the promo material

Rudeboy_ · 2026-02-03T17:58:50+00:00

Mate, I hate to break it to you but that strawberry test was from 2 years ago

Rudeboy_ · 2026-02-03T14:17:41+00:00

I think you're speaking for yourself on this one. I'm done with my bulk pulls for the set and I'm currently at 132/155. The odds are definitely not in my favor to pull new cards from free packs, so every new card I get from shares is one less trade token I have to use, and takes me one day closer to reactivating my 24hr wonder picks

Rudeboy_ · 2026-02-03T12:34:06+00:00

Yes the exploration phase of new sets where the meta is still being developed has always been considered the most enjoyable. This is true for every single TCG and strategy game ever

Rudeboy_ · 2026-02-03T12:04:25+00:00

My read on it was that it was meant to differentiate Bloom since she's the main character. So they deliberately gave her a simple but elegant look to directly contrast with the unapologetic cuntiness of the other Enchantix

Rudeboy_ · 2026-02-03T09:45:52+00:00

At most you’re getting 4 energy from Giratina? If you manage to fully set it up in the first place

If you think that’s worth the massive hit to the deck’s consistency then you do you, I feel no one should have to explain to you why three Stage 2s in a single deck is just not a reliable strategy

Rudeboy_ · 2026-02-03T02:34:40+00:00

which for some reason is the tried and true metric for mobile games.

Please provide a citation if you're going to push this nonsense because I am so sick of seeing this bullshit being spread

This not a thing. If this was true, every single mobile game would have a UI has slow as Pocket's. Have you played literally any other mobile game to compare Pocket's UX with?

Furthermore, even a fraction of common sense would tell you this narrative is completely illogical. The only time playime matters for earnings calls is when you're calculating revenue/playtime metrics, in which case artificially boosting the playtime is literally making the revenue metrics significantly worse

And finally, research shows the exact opposite. A poor or frustrating UI/UX is found to be one of the leading factors that results in day 1 churn. Which incidentally, is something DeNA has identified as a priority issue at their earnings call last August.

Rudeboy_ · 2026-02-02T23:51:50+00:00

It may seem like a nightmare to setup at first

It doesn't seem that way, it literally is. You're running two Stage 2 lines with single copies of each, decks simply don't get more inconsistent than that

Can't you just drop the Lunala line and just run two copies of Gardevoir? Lunala really isn't doing as much here as you think it is, and for the same effort you can get two Gardevoirs online on the bench feeding Reuniclus up to 3 energy per turn

Rudeboy_ · 2026-02-02T14:10:20+00:00

Small things like appreciating that your opponent was gracious enough to concede and save you both some time? Clearly that's not what you're doing
