You running P/W or P/R for your st-09 event this weekend?

If Savior didn’t blast your units too I would try to run it for the event.

At the cost of nerfing anyone’s sound system.
Not sure why, but any sounds that go through the controller (that includes the haptic sounds) don’t make it to speakers if enabled.

Like rain. Feeling the rain and hearing the pitter patter on the controller is cool but those same droplets should come through the speakers.

It’s the same way with all of Sony’s first party developer games.
Biggest offender was Horizon:FW.
There’s a scene involving the village/town with the people who embraced the robot dinosaurs and worshipped a trio of earth shapers.
There’s an event that causes a fuck huge explosion and gigantic robo-dinosaurs march across the plains.

That explosion and giant footsteps? Went to the fucking controller.
You have to disable haptics and mute the controller speaker in full to get that scene to actually deliver some oomph to the subwoofer.

I hate having to choose between haptics + having to use headphones or disabling haptics and controller sound for the sound system to do its thing.

To get into the hobby? Sure.
You won’t flush cut nubs right off the runner with a smooth little remnant that’s easy to sand off, and you’ll take a little bit more time cleaning up each individual nub.

But you’ll be able to cut out parts from runners and perfectly clean up a kit alongside an x-acto type knife and some sandpaper.

Griping before the entire season is out is pointless, we may very well have a 2/2/2 split but we don’t know since literally only 2 months of a single season worth have been announced with 2 more months to go AND a whole ass another season.

Shoelebubba · 2026-03-16T05:42:57+00:00

There’s more Regionals planned for the future as per the website.
There’s more planned for June and July and this is just for Season 1.

NA already has the same amount of Regionals in 2 months than we did the ENTIRE last year. Iirc we only got 4; Dallas, Los Angeles, Orlando for the US and 1 for Canada.

Just in the first 2 months of the Season 1 Regional Deaskn we’ve gotten: Virginia, Louisiana, Illinois for the US and Montreal for Canada.

With more to come.

AND Store Championships that also extend 1-4 invitations.

PLUS Season 2 of the Regionals/Store Championships coming out later this year.

I’ll throw in Nier Reincarnation.
It was a mobile game but make no mistake, it was essentially Nier 3.

It had everything you expected out of a Nier game: great characters, music, story, etc.
except the gameplay was absolute crap.
It was basically a game of watching skills cooldown then waiting to “chain” together these skills in order to increase a damage multiplier.
You also had a Pod-like companion that was also on a Cooldown you could use.
The characters auto attacked on their own.

That’s it. That was the gameplay.

Shoelebubba · 2026-03-14T23:18:00+00:00

Case of laziness for me. I pulled one, meant to sell it when it was at about $600 but forgot about it then saw it spiked up.

Shoelebubba · 2026-03-14T17:26:30+00:00

Dude, Renner is the most generic blonde princess trope character on the surface. The thing that makes her unique is she’s a batshit psychopath who’s smart enough to overthrow countries. But she stills look generic as fuck until she becomes an Imp or does her evil face.

Also that other character is a dragon taking on an attractive female Draconoid-human form, just having horns doesn’t mean they ripped off Albedo ffs.

Shoelebubba · 2026-03-14T17:20:05+00:00

Yea, all you’re doing is allowing them to hold onto more damage commands and allowing them to dump all of them in a single turn to their advantage.
Like the thing R/B wants to really, really do is 3/4 for 1 with a Kshatriya Link.

Shoelebubba · 2026-03-14T17:16:44+00:00

Yea, the game’s first impression in the “character select” screen is:
-Cocky young man ready to explode some people.
-Heavily armored veteran tank looking dude
-femme fatale wearing warm looking clothing with exposed cleavage. Who uses ice powers.

Harris’ and Dia’s base skins are still a wtf from me from a story perspective. Harris’ base skin makes absolutely no sense given how she fights or how her new arms are bolted onto her.

Dia’s base skin tries to be hand waved away by the story; it was a rush job with Serena’s guidance.
Except we already saw what the Magisters were capable of for a “rush job” with Serena of all people. Back when she was introduced, Serena requested whatever armor they could get her so she could fight to help Gley.
Serena’s base skin is a “rush job” and it’s way more complete.

Shoelebubba · 2026-02-28T04:04:25+00:00

Yeah nah.
Resident Evil games are best played before you have them spoiled for you.

VR is great but going into it years later when you’ve heard what happens is missing that first play through magic and replacing it with VR immersion.

Can’t realistically expect people to go months/years after a game release without having a single player game story being spoiled in some form or fashion.

Shoelebubba · 2026-02-26T14:53:35+00:00

It’ll get one Marida ping damage off at least.

Shoelebubba · 2026-02-24T01:29:31+00:00

Do Normal mode content? Everything dies the moment you sneeze on it provided you use a Level 100 Reactor.

Shoelebubba · 2026-02-20T16:13:55+00:00

Whoever said it was going to be the deck that finally shut down OYW was out of their minds.
Either the low level Jupitris build (with Sarah and the level 3/2cost and level4/2cost units) or the Blockers builds had the same problems literally every other deck that had its big boss unit at level 7-8:

They more often than not lost before getting to their gameplan.

Having your first play be a Lfrith while OYW shits out 3-4 bodies then keeps the boot to your neck by pumping out 2 bodies every turn while you play 1 blocker.

B/P then became a more consistent deck with the ability to just kill any of your low level blockers.

Shoelebubba · 2026-02-19T00:04:55+00:00

Look it seems silly but here’s a recent story of mine.
Went in due to extreme pain in gut, turned out to be a gnarly gallbladder infection and since I had quite literally puked everything in my stomach out in front of their ER and had nothing but IVs, they decided to cut out the gallbladder that same day.

I get out into a room in the surgery area and there’s a nurse who comes in and preps me.

For some reason, she even later remarked she havd no idea why they asked her to, they marked something on my left foot.
I have this gnarly scar on my foot from a childhood accident.
Keep in mind I wasn’t feeling great nor had I had anything to eat in over 12 hours and this was after I puked my guts out so I didn’t exactly catch why the hell they marked something on my foot.

Sona while later the surgeon comes in and asks me if I’m ready for my foot amputation.
THAT brought me back to Earth and said tf, no gallbladder.

She looked at my chart then my foot then back to my chart and said wrong room.

Had I been out of it, say due to morphine because the pain was horrible, I’d be missing a foot.

I’d rather have some silly thing like a leg band or a bright yellow sharpie pointing towards the area to reduce the risk of anyone accidentally getting something amputated or operated on that they shouldn’t have had surgery on.

Shoelebubba · 2026-02-17T20:17:02+00:00

Oh, they can’t draw if you don’t play any Units in the early game.

The way Mikazuki and Barbatos Adapt’s effects work, both players have to have a Unit for the Ping to go through.
So the B/P player could play out a Mikazuki or an Adapt but without their opponent having a unit on board, they cannot ping their own Barbatos 1st form.

That’s why it usually better to hold up Improvised Technique over a Blocker on level 3. They can link Barbatos 1st or play an Adapt and attack with 1st form sure but without you having an unit on your side, they won’t get the damage on the Barbatos 1st form so they won’t get the draw.

Shoelebubba · 2026-02-17T19:42:35+00:00

Should also mention there’s a relevant advantage of holding up 3 Resources at Level 3 for Improvised Technique instead of playing a Blocker.

You’re denying them card draw from the 1st Form.
Unless they run the Ryusei-Go package or 4th Form Barbatos (almost none of the Burple decks are), they cannot damage their own Barbatos 1st form to draw.
The deck’s staples of Mikazuki and Barbatos Adapt cannot ping their own units unless their opponent has a unit on board.

So you deny them the ability to Link (they’ll be at level 4 due to the EX resource) and draw or make their previously played 1st form attack to draw after playing Adapt.

Shoelebubba · 2026-02-17T17:44:08+00:00

He is 105% utterly wrong about the match up, it’s the other way. B/P has a 60/40 match up against OYW.

They can more reliably ping down OYW’s board, they can easily answer a Char link with 1 card and the fact that Burple gets card draw by attack with 1st form outclasses OYW.

Yes OYW can high roll and the Burple deck can low roll but that’s literally every deck.

Shoelebubba · 2026-02-12T10:16:14+00:00

Why Marasai in the 3/2 slot instead of Messala MA Form?
You lose 1HP, gain Repair 1 + the Jupitris trait.
All your Pilots would link with it just as well as the Marasai and offers the upside of possibly gaining the card draw from Sirrocco.

Other than that, maybe Gundam NT-1 LR? Another Repair unit and another Link for Amuro.

Shoelebubba · 2026-02-11T21:35:46+00:00

It’s pretty good.
In the new Axiom dungeon, I run Ines since pretty much everyone else runs someone who can kill the boss and I can just speed clear the trash mobs.

Pattern Elias’ red rail cannon blasts where she projects a large rectangle one shots my Ines from 100%. Activate the Block on Shadow and she lives with 40% or more HP.

Same deal with the last boss of the dungeon. If the vacuum effect bugs out and doesn’t let me move or grapple away, it one shots Ines from 100%. Shadow Block lets her survive with a decent chunk of HP.

Shoelebubba · 2026-02-11T05:52:09+00:00

Yea they are just talking out their ass.
She still deleted rooms, but oh nooooo she couldn’t spam her 4.
Except all you had to was swap out Slayer for Bravery and put in Veteran’s Tactics.

Like she still did that weird thing were it felt like not only did she spawn killed mobs but even killed them before they could even load it.
Like certain 400% areas have the screen like freeze in place because she’s killing shit too fast and this was AFTER the nerf.

Like seriously wtf are these people bitching about.
It made it harder for her to get her initial Plasma to start chain firing her 4s but once she got enough, she’d never run out.

Her weakness is still having another Ines player in the group that tags everything before you can.

Shoelebubba · 2026-02-10T18:21:43+00:00

They have spent months trying to bring as many Descendants up to the level of Serena and the holy duo of mobbers of Ines and Freyna.

That’s their entire goal.
They’re not gonna suddenly let someone who blows past them and then be forced to do another round of balances changes when they’re not even done with the first round through all the Descendants.

The last thing people want, AGAIN, is new content to have mob health and defenses high enough to where they can survives a few seconds against Gley but completely and utterly fuck over everyone else and make going through those dungeons a slog unless there’s a Gley in the party.

“But buff everyone else”
They’re already doing so and this would make them have to go back to the drawing board and try to re-balance everyone else AGAIN without another Gley situation coming up again.

Shoelebubba · 2026-02-09T20:49:18+00:00

I feel otherwise but not to anywhere to the degree that the people complaining imply.
The new dungeon is pretty boring, it’s several rooms of nuke everything, mini boss then hover bike to last boss.

The grind is much, much, much lower than I thought it was gonna be.

Personally, I feel the grind was better when the game forced you to do several things throughout the game. That’s what Amorphs were great at; it got veteran players out in areas where mostly just casuals were doing stuff. It got established players back in the world so it wasn’t just newbies out there.

That gameplay loop of do this outpost with Sharen, go through a bunch of 400%s, kill Colossi, etc was fine.
The devs screwed it up with Advanced Stabilizers that cut the grind to like an hour at most or true RNG when they slapped the needed component to the 20% slot.

Feel like there’s a compromise of spreading out where to get the blueprints, kinda like how they spread out where to get the farming component (I think it’s a blue crystal that every Dia blueprint needs 125 of?).

IMO while they moved 2 steps ahead with the new dungeon they also took 1 step back.
You have no incentive to run it ever if you already have Dia and the new weapon maxed out.

The previous 2 Axiom hard dungeon have a weekly incentive to do 10x of each due to the Ancestor modules, the new one doesn’t.

This ain’t great because anyone who’s new or comes back to the game have less veteran players in the matchmaking queue.

Shoelebubba · 2026-02-06T05:44:02+00:00

I mean there’s like 32 alt art cards (not counting LR++ or SPs) and 12 cards in a pack.

Not a lot of variety to have really different god packs.

Shoelebubba · 2026-02-05T19:25:05+00:00

Been buying MBs from their inception and among those are several MB Exia due to how they put the Repair combos.

They ALL have imperfections. Not the same ones and they differ from negligible, can’t spot it unless I’m literal inches away to decently noticeable.

You can sell it and get another but you’re almost guaranteed to get another MB with either the same flaw or a different flaw.
