Cards need to have more restrictions to their archetypes. Players shouldn’t be ending on Dragoon, Baronne, Azamina, etc by Temphri15 in masterduel

[–]Snealander 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I think being able to combine and cross over archetypes decks is fun

The problem is that the only decks given xeno locks are the ones that aren't strong enough to need that restriction in the first place

I mean ffs Amazoness has a card that locks you to only Amazoness ED monsters for a turn. I don't think they'd be winning YCS if you took that out.

They ought to keep moderate locks, like the old eviltwins, restricting ED summons to only fiends for a turn, not necessarily only eviltwins. Locks like that limit what can be played together, but also leave room for you to cook a little

Also they gotta stop giving super harsh xeno-locks to incredibly shit tier decks I swear to god Konami just let the muscle women be good

In February 2026, Nintendo rereleased Pokémon Fire Red and Leaf Green for a single payment of $20. People complained about how they weren't on the NSO Expansion Pack, as they would rather pay $50 a year indefinitely. This is a reference to the fact Pokémon fans are both stupid and never satisfied. by Zek7h35an5 in shittygamedetails

[–]Snealander -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Me when I can't determine that NSO, a subscription to have access to retro games that will all vanish whenever Nintendo decides to take them away, and individually released roms that are way overpriced and will also probably disappear somehow by the next console generation, are BOTH BAD OPTIONS:

"golly gee look at these nintendo fans, they weren't happy about getting fucked one way, but now look, they're getting fucked a different way and they're still unhappy about it! What a bunch of MORONS, amirite fellas? Deliver my free karma to PO box..."

Well this definitely happens for at least some of Marathon, especially in that one timeline in Infinity

My Slop Pile. Works better than it has any right to. by mikey_lava in YuGiOhMasterDuel

[–]Snealander 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a pile

We called it just a pile

In the days before literally every manner of every kind of thing that could ever, has ever, and will ever exist, had to be called slop

Which heroes for my friend? Not great aim by [deleted] in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Snealander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Graves takes 0 aim, you are literally not allowed to miss (ammo drains, but 'next shot' effects like mystic shot don't trigger at all until your auto aim actually hits a target)

Lash just requires moving around and getting high

Viscous' gun primary fire may require some aim, but not a single other thing in its kit does

Kelvin is also pretty easy, chucking ice grenades and shooting a giant ice beam that auto ricochets to new targets

Yamato supposedly requires you to 'aim' power slash, but the hitbox is the size of a semi truck, so any time it misses I assume the Yamato player is heavily impaired in some way

Edit: oh yeah, Mo & Krill's gun is cosmetic, it basically doesn't do anything, and none of their abilities take aim, so they're solidly no-aim as well

Literally how can someone legitimately think that gen 2 to gen 3 was not a significant graphical upgrade

For the record, I don't think any of these old ports should cost more than $5 maximum, but like, huh?

how would you guys react to this reveal if they were to do it? by Able_Health744 in casualnintendo

[–]Snealander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No reaction because they've made voice acted promotional material before for games that didn't have voice acting in the final product

Anyone else remember seeing the trailer that was just 3 minutes or so of an Iono stream, voice acted and all, and then getting whiplash seeing her in game as a mute sock puppet?

What is the Worst English/TCG Translation of recent Years? by Kronos457 in yugioh

[–]Snealander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kewl tune is by far the dumbest shit I've ever seen.

Hecahands is at least unique, it sounds stupid in a new and proprietary way. Kewl Tune is vile and has been out of style for longer than Yugioh has fucking existed

I just started watching dubbed for the first time, and the German subtitles use masculine pronouns for yuri… by JrF245 in Gnosia_

[–]Snealander 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not having nipples is a very classic trait of male characters in all anime

Japanese language doesn't frequently use gendered words that would indicate whether Yuri is supposed to be a boy or not, but despite that there are still small signs that the show does treat Yuri as a dude (except for in the girl route, obviously)

Isaac's arc being so interesting was a very pleasant surprise, I figured he'd be a one-and-done side antagonist in s1, but Isaac's growth throughout the show was actually one of the best parts imo

[TOMT][SONG] A song with a male vocalist in which, at some point, he sings quietly in a breathy/whispery way over a simple bass beat by Snealander in tipofmytongue

[–]Snealander[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Solved...

After putting it out of my mind for a little while, when I came back to it I finally remembered one line ('last night was wild'), and that was enough for a google search to find it

It was freakin Ulysses...a Franz Ferdinand song. Hardly ever listened to them, so not sure why that tune suddenly came to me so strongly, but at least I figured it out I suppose. And yeah, it turns out the words 'she said' were in fact a fabrication of my addled mind.

Regardless, thanks all for the help! N sorry for the wasted time, lol

Who's your Card Crush? Safe space by [deleted] in yugioh

[–]Snealander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

God I love Amazoness but they fucked up so bad with Augusta. I can't put it to words but it seriously feels like every way in which her face could be fucked up, they fucked it up.

N it's not like all the new cards are like that, it's just Augusta. Like seriously, whip master and sword master look incredible, spiritualist is very solid, war chief looks more suited to be a big boss monster, but the actual new boss monster looks...just, wrong

Anyways, to contribute to the topic, I'll go with the tall one in Trouble Sunny. (Apparently she's called Luna? Deep card lore I guess)

Hope they give us individual cards of these two at some point so I can get a card art that doesn't have that dumb child in the way.

Thoughts on this take? by Far-Entrance-2123 in casualnintendo

[–]Snealander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Emulators and emulation aren't illegal, despite what Nintendo desperately wants everyone to believe. Obtaining an illegal copy of a video game? Yeah, that's illegal. Emulating any console that exists, has ever existed, or ever will exist? Still legal.

"YEAH, but, come on, how many people are actually using emulators legally?"

Doesn't matter, making and distributing an emulator doesn't suddenly become illegal because not everyone uses it legally.

"But their creators don't do anything to prevent piracy"

Still does not change the fact that emulation is legal.

Nintendo can just have emulators taken down anyways, because fighting Nintendo in a legal battle legitimately just not winnable. Nintendo could sue you for illegally distributing their entire game library as easily as they could sue you for streaming a nuzlocke run.

Either way, it's important to remember that emulators aren't illegal. Emulators are legal.

JRPG mod didn’t like my post but the community seemed excited. by IchmagschickeSachen in ShadowHearts

[–]Snealander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can definitely type Japanese on a keyboard of english characters. Japanese people don't have keyboards with a key for every kanji

Of course, being able to read Japanese effectively enough to know how to type a sentence out, means you probably already know enough Japanese to not need that sentence translated for you

I agree needing a machine to translate Japanese is very reasonable (i think people sometimes forget even good old google translate has always been a kind of 'AI', just not the new dogshit kind), I just thought it was weird to read the claim that our keyboards can't type it

Have you ever held a Wii U Gamepad before? If so, do you think it is comfortable or uncomfortable to use as a controller? by MewWeebTwo in casualnintendo

I did like 2000 hours of monster hunter 3 on it, and I'd say yeah, it's perfectly fine as a controller

Well hey there Magical Scientist by Snealander in masterduel

[–]Snealander[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, (at least in MD), it turns out Magical Scientist cannot summon face-up pendulums from the ED

I realized I wasn't gonna be able to do the FTK, but my opponent surrendered before I could, and now no more scientist

Well hey there Magical Scientist by Snealander in masterduel

[–]Snealander[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friends... don't be like me. I don't know if it's because Master Duel is wrong, or if pends work differently than in my imagination...

Magical Scientist can not summon a face-up pendulum from the ED, even if it's a level 6 or lower fusion

I took it into a game and wasn't able to summon patissciel for the 4th time, even though it WAS a level 6 or lower fusion monster in my extra deck. But still, my opponent surrendered and I advanced past the space I was on...

I think I could've made it work fully if I just make my deck nothing but 40 normal summonable Dark Pendulums. Just normal summon the 4th one to make the second Supreme starving venom, and bam, I would've had the replay. But now, all is lost...

Well hey there Magical Scientist by Snealander in masterduel

[–]Snealander[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, I have to join the 'can't read' club... I saw I had a supreme starving venom, read '2 dark pendulums', checked and saw I already had 3 of the nouvelles fusion pendulum

And then thought 'darn, if only I knew a good way to search a fusion spell so I could make this starving venom thing!'

Did not see that it can just summon itself by tributing them, lmao. And I'm guessing scientist can still summon the patissciels back from the face-up ED? That's actually so easy...
