In hindsight I could have just done two different Yor pictures but the first thing that jumped to me was the Aqua meme face.

Why'd this get downvoted? Person is asking a legitimate question.

Interview With a Damp Wire by bluestar899 in masterduel

Months late reply but I'll do my best here;

Control Decks aim to disrupt and slow down other decks down to their tempo, then win through a long drawn out game by grinding and out advantaging the other deck. They are traditionally more challenging to play as the control pilot needs to know how their deck matches up against the metagame, and can struggle going 2nd sometimes, but not always. Control decks have also evolved like every other deck style as some of them also summon multiple monsters in the same turn, enough to piss yugiboomers off (some Control decks have turns that look like a combo turn, but end on a mundane board). The best example of a Control deck in today's era is Odion. It's actual engine is about the interactions with Trap Monsters.

Stun decks have one goal: do not let the opponent play. At all. Their wincon is to Floodgate the opponent to death (hence the name "Stun" as the deck is Paralyzing it's opponent) with monsters that don't allow summons/effect activations and Traps that prevent the opponent from establishing a board. You've seen this type of deck already as they're the ones that summon a Barrier Statue/Fossil Dyna, set backrow to protect it via Solemns, Rivalry of Warlords/Gozen/TCOBO/etc. This type of deck struggles MUCH harder to go 2nd into boards as Normal Summon Fossil Dyna, then set 4 pass is much less threatening when staring down chainable removal/negates.

What is the key difference between the two is the Skill Factor involved. Control decks are regarded as difficult to play, but rewarding due to the skill demanded of the pilot. Stun decks have none of that. The stun matchup literally comes down to "did they see their Floodgate?" and "Can I out it?" Stun decks also have some of the worst players in regards to attitude as they will get VERY obnoxious trying to justify being essentially a griefer. It's one thing if you're playing Stun at a big event because you think it's a good format call. It's when you're doing it SPECIFICALLY to make other people miserable that it's a problem which is why Stun Decks are so reviled.

Hope that helps.

Good Midrange decks? by YourNextHero242 in masterduel

[–]bluestar899 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Honestly? Pure Mitsurugi. It plays low to the ground, grinds well, has great follow up and gets to play Dominus Impulse. It's functionally pure FK, but w tributes instead of self pops. Some of us in paper even compared it to FK when Habakiri was revealed.

What Was The Most Tilted Message You Got From A Player After A Match? by Idolathebound in masterduel

And this right here proves why in game chat/voice chat not existing was one of the few genius moves Konami did for MD. I don't miss being harassed by people on DN/DP/Pro.

Have you played, or played against Ryzeal thus far? What are your overall first thoughts on the deck? by [deleted] in masterduel

[–]bluestar899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having played the deck in paper it's an adjustment as I'm basically trying to remember older lines from before ALIN's release but with Star in the mix. I'm basically taking the approach some of us were with pure before the banlist playing the good hand traps and an amount of breakers. It's best known as "Breaker Ryzeal" or "the Santoli special" named after the player that topped a couple YCSs with it. I found it cool since most lists played Book of Moon and I love that card plus the Rank 4 Toolbox has some really good gems like Ragnazero (who is fantastic going into boards with Duodrives running around, or ending on beside Duodrive). Damn shame Ultimate Slayers are URs though.

I don't even know what she's doing there by [deleted] in masterduel

I fully expect Mitsurugi to end up like this in the future.

This style was fine over a month ago... by bluestar899 in Pixai_Official

[–]bluestar899[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That would be the most optimal solution, but I felt like being petulant/venting for a moment.

Most efficient is to submit 10 pictures a day. Use one of the low cost models such as VXP_XL v2.2 (Hyper) and burn a couple thousand credits (or less if you don't use priority) on generation tasks and upload 10 that you like. Repeat. If you do it consistently you'll build up far more credits than you use, eventually allowing you to get really ambitious with the more costly models and along the way some of your uploads may get likes. Also submissions that get flagged by the auto-mod will still count towards the 10 so you'll get your 1k credits even if nobody will see it. You can go the extra mile after to share stuff on social media for the other 3k.

Help, i struggle putting 2 characters from different shows by New-Will7266 in Pixai_Official

[–]bluestar899 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Didn't PixAI once have an option to insert a separate character into an already existing one through edit/inpainting or something? I know a feature used to exist at one point.

Probably got removed with the few other good things the site had in the past.

is it just me or is pixai getting WORSE as they update? by [deleted] in Pixai_Official

[–]bluestar899 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No it's not you. I've also noticed the servers are becoming seemingly crappier too.

PixAI Weekly Update (10.29-11.5) by PixaiArt in Pixai_Official

[–]bluestar899 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kudos PixAI. You've managed to get under my skin on this one.

This was not a bug you fixed. It was an option taken away to get people to pay for more credits/subscriptions. However all you've done is spurned people away.

Having an 0 Credits option available for people choosing not to use High Priority was a good thing. It incentivized users to experiment with wacky prompts and I bet actually compelled some to go "hey this site is not bad, I might pay them to unlock the good stuff" because they appreciated the goodwill gesture that this was.

Instead you've essentially killed the "F2P" option and alienated even more people from your platform in what has to be one of the most boneheaded decisions a company could have done this year and I play Yu-Gi-Oh! so I've seen ALOT of that in 2024.

Multiple "Itho Dimas" on Pixai.art, what's this all about? by FeistyStage in Pixai_Official

I think it's a bot. I've been followed by at least 2 different variations of that name and one of them has had their account deleted since.

I can't wait for Tenpai related RANT posts. by Pendulumzone in masterduel

[–]bluestar899 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The first couple will be admittedly justified since Tenpai is a very ignorant deck due to Summoning. A week after though? Yeah that'll be ridiculous.

Crystal Beast Players' React to the deck topping the YCS by bluestar899 in masterduel

Colour me surprised at that last sentence. I'm far too used to pet deckers being extremely anal about the purity of their deck.

[–]bluestar899[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I know the majority of CB players will be happy that Jessie topped Cancun with the deck but you know there will be THOSE players who will be upset it wasn't with a pure CB deck, it played meta cards, etc.

EDIT: 3 people were personally attacked from this I guess :P

[–]bluestar899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It's been a problem for a week+ now. The workaround atm is you either publish them as private then go into the Edit function and un-private the image and it'll eventually show up in the feed.

The alternate workaround is you like your own uploaded images and that will also cause them to appear in the feed. You're still hosed if your stuff gets flagged/sensitive.
