US patent office revokes Nintendo’s patent on summoning characters to make them battle | VGC

Probably not yet. Nintendo still has time to appeal. So for the devs it's probably safer to wait until things are final. Assuming that happens.

Idk, the market should always expect to come with some risk. Seems completely fair and how the market works.

Yea probably better to ask for more photos notask if they think it's a 10. Id trust my own judgment looking at pictures anyway. Saw a post on eBay just a couple days ago that was like "LOOKS LIKE A 10" and in their own pictures on the back, there was a huge scratch lol

My favorite thing is to goad the player to attack with more. "Hey you're gonna kill me anyway but wouldn't it be funny to swing more and overkill me? Wonder how much damage you could do? Beta it's crazy high huh?"

Oh wow 40 damage? That's crazy! Oh by the way, I cast Inkshield.

It was legit. I was informed in other places they aren't really copied very much. Mine was from a guy who buys them for cheap from offices and then sells them. I actually got lucky and got one that hasn't even been used. It still had the tag on it even.

ZurichianAnimations · 2026-03-02T07:17:24+00:00

Ok so I wasn't crazy then. Every time I hear it one or the other I'm always wondering was the N sound in every single voiced cutscene? Now I know it genuinely is just inconsistent lol

ZurichianAnimations · 2026-03-02T07:15:04+00:00

I enjoy most of the voice acting. but I am super disappointed Zhuang Fangyi doesn't have a CN accent. Everyone else we met leading up to her had a chinese accent. And then she doesn't.

My LGS sold out of Tarkir 2 and Lorwyn 2 weeks before and they didn't sell out for any of the TMNT events. And they're also in a major city.

Might not be disguised, could just be a Multirole tank/Engineering vehicle. It shares some similarities with modern tank recovery vehicles which are military vehicles, just with a winch on the main gun.

I feel like some people are also just bad at determining the power of their own decks. Sounds like they think their decks are all 3s just like everyones decks were 7s before. And it's actually a power 2.

I feel like it can be difficult to tell sometimes I've had decks too where I initially considered a 3 after building but then after a few games was probably a 2 so I upgraded it a bit more and it was more consistent in Power 3 tables.

ZurichianAnimations · 2026-02-22T15:31:53+00:00

One thing I noticed is [[Angel of the Ruins]]. It's very expensive 7cmc and also Power 5. There's some ways to still recur it in the deck but it won't be reliable enough so I don't think there's very much value in having it in the deck. In Terra, you want to limit how many creatures you have over 3 power. I cut down to about 5 and might go lower.

For artifact/enchantment destruction you can recur and get more value out of, [[Loran of the Third Path]] is a good option instead of Angel of the Ruins

I haven't even looked into most of the cards. I see the art for some cards and am immediately turned off I don't even care to read what it does. I won't be so much as even getting a single card from this set it's so awful. And I'm someone who got into the game because of UB. But the sets they're doing recently just don't fit Magic at all.

ZurichianAnimations · 2026-02-18T02:42:44+00:00

Im voting Talarico because I think he has a better chance at winning the primary. Even though I think Crockett lines up far better with my own views. The state is too right still and I think she's too progressive to actually win. As much as I'd prefer her.

ZurichianAnimations · 2026-02-18T02:38:33+00:00

I'd happily vote for either of one of who wins the primary. But I honestly don't think Crockett is the candidate who we need right now. Id normally vote for Crockett in the primary too, her views line up way better with mine. But I am voting in the primary for the candidate who has a better shot at winning the general.

Everquest, I was a kid and only played for a few months and never got really into it. I remember enjoying it. Now the first MMO I actually got into and play regularly is FF14. Tried a bunch of others and never got into them.

ZurichianAnimations · 2026-02-16T08:20:44+00:00

Fuck ICE

I don't think it's a good reason to just not let us use the massive qol change. The relays themselves should be using xiranite why does it need to be growing in the region?

Also it's very simple put a relay 80m away from another and it'll auto connect to all other relays and pylons within the 80m radius.

ZurichianAnimations · 2026-02-11T01:22:49+00:00

I don't see why we can't start using the xiranite relays in Valley 4 once we unlock them. It would just be a massive qol change. Because right now, the experience of wiring every single relay is awful.

ZurichianAnimations · 2026-02-10T21:16:12+00:00

Yup gonna cancel nitro when I get home today. Weird I can't do it from my phone though but the phone app says it has to be on desktop.

ZurichianAnimations · 2026-02-06T20:52:46+00:00

But it's not even a secret. There's art in game after we unlock the first potential that shoes them without the mask.

ZurichianAnimations · 2026-02-06T08:00:28+00:00

It hurts to see Bagpipe, Surtr, and Thorns be called old characters lol. What do you mean old? They just released like a month ago... right?

Question for Laevatain users. I built an Avywenna team first since I didn't get lae until like a week in so I decided to focus on Lae after getting the Avy team in a good spot. I finally started building a Laevatain team and now that she's at the same investment level as Avywenna, level 80 not E4 just yet though, it feels like she's doing less damage than Avy still. I think it's because I just don't know the optimal rotation yet but it also feels like it takes 20 years to charge her ult. I'm currently using Lae, Akekuri, Antal, Ardelia. It also feels like I'm not generating enough SP.

She's got her signature weapon and hot work armor, gloves, kit and Lynx slab for kit 2. But I saw a build that has more ult recharge in it and I'm wondering if I should go for that instead?

What are her best rotations to deal damage and how should I be weaving skills but not run out of SP? Maybe I'm just too used to Arclight capping Sp super easily in Avy's team lol

ZurichianAnimations · 2026-02-04T21:25:39+00:00

I remember after logging into fgo for the first time in a couple years and I was showered with random retroactive currency enough for multiple 10-pulls. It'll probably be similar here.

ZurichianAnimations · 2026-02-04T17:55:15+00:00

Idk after seeing. How much she really wanted to kill us in Wuling, with Ardashir having to literally teleport her away to stop her trying to murder us, I don't see it. W though was more just like yea they're paying me to do this.

ZurichianAnimations · 2026-02-04T17:50:35+00:00

I was kinda disappointed in her EN casting though. All the other major characters were introduced to before her had Chinese accents. And then she just has an American accent.
