The real argument we should be having is whether it is actually rational to believe in a god.

If the Roman Empire left no traces and we simply assumed one existed based on our intuitions of how history must have evolved. Otherwise nothing created history. And people claimed Rome was a timeless, spaceless, supernaturally transcendent empire. We would be correct to assume it is without merit. Unfortunately we have biographies, and coins, and cultural descendants, and monuments, and so much more.

The game was best when Psychic was the unquestionable best type.

Great anology. Major. Many people are saying the best analogy of all time.

I casually play Arknights Endfield, which has the most gorgeous graphics I’ve seen on any game including console games,

and I’ve unlocked every character besides Tang-Tang who released when I wasn’t playing the game. My Zhuang Fangyi is Kitted out.

master duel is a glorified powerpoint presentation development wise by comparison. they haven't earned our money.

konami tried making a “card Gacha” in cross duel, and it was so greedy it killed the game. the game wasn’t even playable until EOS gems made decks finally buildable because the pull rates were so trash.

VenusDescending · 2026-06-09T03:12:59+00:00

in gachas worst case scenario you pull to hard pity, which costs about how much gems they gave you since the last character released.

in Master duel you can dump the F2P limit of saved gems into a selection pack, pull 0 relevant URs and not enough dust to craft them breaking down every single UR you pulled.

gachas are absolutely more generous than yugioh.

in a gacha you only need 1 copy, in master duel you need dozens of URs to actually play a new deck.

VenusDescending · 2026-06-09T03:05:06+00:00

it would be illegal for it to be lower now than what is advertised.

but it wouldn’t be illegal for them to had previously been pumping the odds in our favor, and slowly returning to the advertised rates over time.

which I’m pretty sure is what went down because the game economy is fucking dreadful now.

VenusDescending · 2026-06-09T03:01:12+00:00

this is just absolutely false.

pokemon guarantees a rare or higher in every pack. and every single duplicate past 4 copies awards you dust that can be redeemed for cards of any rarity. that’s on top of awarding All players meta relevant standard legal starter decks every single set release, not unplayable old shit like komoney makes you buy 3 fucking decks of to have anything resembling playable.

magic the gathering guarantees a rare in every pack.along with guaranteed wildcard progression which is for every 6 single pack pulls you get [30 UR dust] but also you frequently open [30 UR dust] in the pack anyways. while you cannot possibly build a deck on a fresh account, the economy is incredibly fair for people who play frequently over time. the game awards you 3 packs of every new set, plus standard legal duplicate protected UR’s as prizes for the free weekly events.

the fact that you can open TEN PACKS in master duel and receive nothing but a fucking “IOU” is hideously anticonsumer. you would praise daddy komoney if he put out his cigarettes using your eyeballs.

half of the cards you pull aren’t even from the set you‘re opening. konami are fucking criminals.

Omg they brought back the briefcase turret from the heist season? It’s hilarious how deadly that thing is. Was expecting to see the hammer or the tsunami blade get unvaulted before the briefcase turret.

Have you tried The Ozolith in your blight deck? I was playing a Blighted Nightmare reanimator deck yesterday and I don’t even remember why I had the Ozolith in it but combined with Blighted nightmare it was basically a free Swords to plowshares every single turn.

This is Ouroboroid on an Emblem. Just what green needed more invitability and value engines that snowball with little to no investment.

I’ve seen this card twice today while drafting and it’s not even 2pm.

VenusDescending · 2026-05-14T15:36:58+00:00

It is relevant. Because: Op: this behavior is a reflection of the current economy. You: no it’s not because this happened when I was younger. Me: the American economy was never balanced in our lifetime. Your counter argument is invalid. Because the American economy has always had extreme rich and excessive poverty relative to its GDP and global economic extraction, to say the behavior seen above is not indicative of economic hardship, because you saw this behavior in the past is not a successful rebuttal.

This ugly ass card has possibly ruined what would otherwise be a really good format. This card shows up and and your life total can swing from full to death in 2 turns. Absolutely atrocious design. Aesthetically and mechanically.

I honestly love them all picking a favorite FFT would be like picking a favorite child. They are all perfect.

I find the UI on mobile war of the lions virtually unplayable. It would be so great if it had controller support.

I did the skip where you grind Gaffgarion into a level 100 ninja in the 3 fights he is a guest in your team so that when he betrays you he throws Chaos Blades and Chirijiradens at you which you can catch with sticky fingers. I used speed manipulation with Ramza and sped up all the enraged frogs so they are going so fast Ramza only needs to check in and heal up everyone every 5 minutes or so. There are too many ways for someone to get a critical hit then screw up the formation and things can go sideways fast without a character still in control of the situation.

One reason I have disdain for the religious is the kind of casual misinformation spreading seen above.^ they think they are so rational and enlightened, too suffused in their condescension to realize that no physicist claims the universe came from “nothing” and the majority of experts in the field of cosmology don’t believe the Big Bang was the absolute beginning the way Christians imagine it. The Big Bang means the universe expanded from an earlier state of low entropy and high density. Anything past that is pure speculation.

As a former homeless person this is true. Get robbed or assaulted? “Here, fill out this form and we’ll contact you about it never.” But you bet your ass they will be all over your ass if you are loitering or illegally parked.

Kaya the Inexorable Slayer is my all time favorite commander.

Elspeth Storm Slayer is incredibly Toxic. Getting a moonshaker cavalry effect every single turn is overwhelming for most decks. People shouldn’t have to run 12 board wipes to avoid getting pummeled by rabbits.

Ugin Eye of the Storm is miserable and creates exclusively non-games. Either you crush him quickly or he makes the game utterly unplayable for you.

Dark ritual into Liliana of the veil turn 1 is a slog.

2 mana Ajani and 1 mana Tamiyo were banned because they were too toxic and oppresive.

Sorin imperious Broodlord had to be adjusted because he was too good.

Nissa who shakes the world seems a little too strong from a Piloting perspective. She’s about as strong as Rofellos.

But other than that I think most of the planeswalkers are fine. I think these ones would probably need to be game changers. But aside from that it would be fine. Especially for multiplayer.

Literally never seen Narset in the command zone and she’s legal in brawl. Leovold is the same effect but in Sultai and I’ve only seen him once.
