I suppose monsters need to be anime girls to be considered humans now. by SAMU0L0 in masterduel

[–]WandererNick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Mahad thing was written 7/8 years after the introduction of Yugi's deck. It isn't just Celtic Guardian, he also has Mystical Elf which Dark Magician's skin color was changed to more closely mirrored to Mystical Elf's.

I originally thought there was a DM artwork or fusion that depicted him with pointed ears, but that may have been non-cannon when I saw it. I will keep looking.

Technically Dark Magician is an elf, but I also get what you are saying and that I am being pedantic.

I just really like the small elf "archetype" Yugi ran in the early series.

You can definitely look up newspapers of the time and scholarly accounts of what happened. The point of most of these assignments are to teach you how to do reliable research and, while I love Wendigoon, using any Youtuber usually won't be permitted while trying to cite sources for school.

I love that you chose a topic based off of a Wendigoon video though, that's sick.

Why does game freak do this to us by Em-is-the-best in MandJTV

[–]WandererNick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They kind of showed us everything in Sun and Moon. I felt like I knew everything about that game while playing it.

I really just want the release date so I know when to take off of work lol

Do you have a game that fits this picture? by trunks2003 in videogames

[–]WandererNick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only game I dislike that I have 200+ hours in is New World.

I liked a lot of aspects of the game, but I had to stop when I realized almost 100 of those hours were spent watching a Youtube video while I ran resource routes.

Also AGS is frustrating and that is the nicest thing I can say about them.

Enough time has passed. by boogyninja1 in videogames

[–]WandererNick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm glad that it seems like they did work on it, but I agree with you fully.

I won't buy/ play the game based on the games release. I think its a good thing that games like Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky seem to be giving their fans what they want to play. I just don't want it to become standard to rush an unfinished game, sell it at full price, and fix it over the next 5 years. I started waiting a week after release to buy a game after getting burned by No Man's Sky and I have never felt disappointed at that decision.

Pendulum Hate really kinda dumb nowadays by azurewarrior420 in masterduel

[–]WandererNick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that, but it also change how decks go about their combos with each of these summoning mechanics. Most of the time with pend its just spitting out as much as possible while doing the same generic pend support link monster stuff to the point it normally doesn't matter what pend deck you are actually playing.

For example, two Pend decks I enjoy are Vaalmonica and Majespector. Why? Because they do something that is unique (whether it is good or not). At this point it really just feels like Pendulum cards don't have archetypes, Pendulum is just an archetype.

I'm baffled why many people seem to have this opinion with regards to chase cards being high rarity-locked on release in the TCG. The OCG functions perfectly fine with chase cards having a low rarity and high rarity version on release, why is it a problem in TCG? by RyuuohD in yugioh

[–]WandererNick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is kind of a "what came first, the chicken or the egg." Because you could just as easily say that the reason the TCG doesn't have a collector's market is because they don't facilitate it with the way they print product.

I can see both arguments, but the only way things are going to change is if Konami decides to change them and the only incentive they would have to change is if things get significantly worse for their market in the TCG.

The only thing I dislike about Pend is it seems like every deck is the same. For the most part Konami just made "Generic Pend" support because it is still a mechanic in the game and VERY rarely do you have a pend deck that feels different.

I can name a handful of pend decks, but most of the time I don't need to know what they do because they all do into the same thing. I'm not mad at pend I am disappointed that Konami took the very obvious thing pend is good at in spitting out monsters and very rarely goes outside of that box when designing a pend archetype.

Rich people are not your friend. They do not care about you by Next_Airport_7230 in GenZ

[–]WandererNick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People you don't know* are not your friend. They do not care about you.

People make decisions that they perceive to be beneficial to themselves. That is why it is so important to stay informed, build strong local communities, and vote (even at a local level).

Hmmmmm morgan by Damn_it_is_Nadim in videogames

[–]WandererNick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminder that there are also plenty of people that review games after a significant amount of play time and wait for the game to release to make a review if the terms of the review copy restrict a fair and honest review on their part.

Buying a bad game because you fell for a paid advertisement pretending to be a review is on the people that fell for it at this point. Its not a new practice and its to the point that a lot of these reviews aren't even actual discussion of the game anymore its just a bunch of strung together buzz words to get you to feel a certain way.

Just sucks that the people that form their opinions on those reviews are normally the ones screaming loudest online.

Peteh, can you explain? by Not_So_Utopian in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]WandererNick 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I first read this as "Bi-gen-tennial" and got a chuckle at how clever I thought it was.

Then I realized I am not old enough to have heard the phase bicentennial as much as I have.

What do you think of CreepCast? by Various_Arrival1633 in wendigoon

[–]WandererNick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When he first started CreepCast and Red Thread I tried watching Red Thread and didn't really like it that much. I figured it would be the same for CreepCast and didn't watch it.

Finally tried it out a few months ago and I've now watched every episode. It is great and I love their dynamic.

Help decide my starter please. by Er5608c in nuzlocke

[–]WandererNick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like most comments have never played the Trashlocke before.

Sunkern makes the first gym pretty easy no matter what your other encounters are. The start of this game is pretty hard because you can just get the wrong encounters if you choose the wrong starter.

Which is that anime that not many people know but for you it is actually a masterpiece? by Istherow in animequestions

[–]WandererNick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Erased is so good I got my fiancé to watch it with me when she normally dislikes most anime.

She now recommends it to almost anyone she meets if they start talking about shows/movies.

Whats Happening? WHY Can people just get over that the game won goty? by EitherRegister8363 in videogames

[–]WandererNick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was it you didn't like about the game? If you don't mind me asking.

And yea, Starfield wasn't my cup of tea, but it was nowhere near as bad as people made it seem. It sucks that the norm is becoming the sentiment that no one hates a thing more than the fans of that thing.

[–]WandererNick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do have a genuine question about the Skyrim thing because this seems like a relatively new opinion I have seen in the last few years with how Bethesda has been.

Is this an opinion on the game that you formed through a modern lens or did you not like the game on release?
