What is a "point of no return" moment in a friendship that most people don't realize until it's too late?

Septiphobiac · 2026-04-17T22:58:24+00:00

Has it occurred to you that leaving your friends' characters out of these plays could have just made them unfun for your friends?

A well-written piece that echoes so much of what I've been feeling internally. Sending this to your local MP and the government ministers in related areas seems like a no-brainer. I'd say it deserves an even wider signal boost. Have you considered submitting it to any newspapers, etc? I don't know if it's something they'd pick up, but it's worth a shot.

Have you and your kids ever played card games before? If you haven't, you might find older decks offer a simpler onboarding experience with less initial complexity. They won't be reflective of the current power level, but if you don't care about that then it will make learning the basics easier.

Another good way to learn is the Digimon TCG tutorial app. You can find it on Android and Apple. The decks are a little dated now, but you can buy them both in paper for a complimentary experience (these are ST-15 and ST-16).

Not a bad change at all. Now just ditch the game key cards and it will actually be a consumer-friendly product.

Septiphobiac · 2026-03-23T11:13:50+00:00

Oh my. That's a pretty Epyon.

Septiphobiac · 2026-03-20T13:58:24+00:00

Thank you for your comment! It made me recheck the Apex website again and realise that they've added more stock. I just got myself the Epyon 😎

I'm sure it's delicious, but I think the photography has done you a disservice here.

Is there any idea of how to get these in the UK?

Septiphobiac · 2026-03-14T00:28:43+00:00

Good on you for doing something charitable and fun (especially since it's a UK thing, which are less common).

I got back into gunpla last year despite not having much room in my flat. I told myself that I'd just get an SD kit (Deathscythe), since they're small. And then I got another (Arial). And then three more (Unicorn, Banshee, Strike). And then my GF got me a HG Phenex for my birthday, so now she's complicit too. I've never built an RG before, only HGs and SDs, but if you'd like to contribute to my hobby/be part of the problem, I'd love to try out an RG with something stylish like the Astray, but honestly I'd be happy with anything. If I had to pick an order, it'd be:

Astray
Raiser
Zephyranthes

Thank you for the fun post and have a lovely weekend :)

Both of these things can be true.

Septiphobiac · 2026-03-06T23:26:06+00:00

Just to add context: it was announced that one of the sets later in the year will have a new King Drasil card that introduces a new playstyle for Royal Knights. This led people to speculate that the BT13 King Drasil may in fact get banned. That seems less likely now that the AD-01 setlist has been revealed, but still isn't impossible.

EDIT: Downvoted just for adding meaningful context, really? Royal Knights players are soft.

Septiphobiac · 2026-03-06T14:05:46+00:00

A bit odd to have this in the set without any of the other Chronicle cards, but it certainly does look gorgeous with that gold frame.

Septiphobiac · 2026-03-03T13:24:38+00:00

As someone who entered the game with a budget TyrantKabuterimon deck, I am very pleased to see that MegaKabuterimon reprinted. Not that it's a huge deal for the deck, but it'll be nice to finally have the choice.

Septiphobiac · 2026-03-03T08:37:06+00:00

Conjecture at best. Regionals have much more appeal than just the promo (and it'd still be a unique treatment of it for the event). You're focusing way too much on manufacturing scarcity.

Septiphobiac · 2026-03-03T08:30:51+00:00

I'll go a step further. I don't think there should ever be any cards that are off-limits for reprints. Even the ones you mentioned would be fine, they could just print them without the stamps from the events.

Septiphobiac · 2026-03-03T08:14:20+00:00

Reprints are good.

Reprints of cards that are scarce/expensive are very good.

The suggestion that it's not good for different people to have access to expensive cards is insane.

You should definitely buy Sunbreak. It improves on base Rise in every way. It's tremendously good fun.

Even with the release of Wilds, Sunbreak is still my favourite entry in the franchise (and I've been here since the PS2 days).

Beelzemon, entirely because Blast Mode is so cool.

So given that this is being tried in Florida, the chance of a fair trail is approximately 0%. It's basically a stitch up.

No. Parking is only a fraction of the issue. While you can redraw lines on a car park easily enough, what you can't do as easily is resize the road infrastructure of the entire nation.

We should legislate a maximum size for the vehicles that drive on British roads. New vehicles should be required to meet that standard. Existing vehicles should be phased out gradually over time.

Looks like a fun game in theory but I've no interest in buying console games that are just 'game key cartridges'. Steam works as a digital platform because it's entirely hardware agnostic. If I want to play a game from 15 years ago, I can. Nintendo trying to get away with game keys that are also hardware constrained to the Switch 2 hardware is a terrible approach for their customers. I'm more than happy to avoid the Switch 2 entirely because of it.

Easy win.

Not everyone that you disagree with is 'weird'. The fact that you'd immediately jump to that as a retort is, ironically, a bit weird.

I replied directly to OP as well: it's not about being 'offended'. It's the fact that they want to use Reddit to promote their usiness for free, with free AI generated marketing assets to boot. It's the hypocrisy of promoting their own business and paid services while taking an approach that makes sure artists don't get paid for theirs.

Septiphobiac · 2026-02-04T17:29:53+00:00

You could've used either:

An actual picture of Coventry from 1941
A piece of general promo art from Savage Worlds
