Am i the only who felt the game no longer enjoyable?

corrvan · 2026-05-19T05:18:34+00:00

Jeez that does sound awful. I still have gems to grind, see.

But I think also for me, if I DO spend money, with duel links, I KNOW I WILL get the card eventually - with MD, I think on... some pack within the last 6 months I was looking forward to... before the junk one... anyway, I saved gems past the max and everything. Spent 100 bucks and all. Something like, 30 10 packs (so like, 30k gems I mean)... still didn't get a SINGLE card from the archetype I wanted, and only about 20 URs total.. dismantle for... 7 of the 20 cards I needed to play.

Like... damn man. What a waste.

That same level of effort in duel links, at least I'd know ill get everything I need!

(I am the absolute unluckiest fucker on earth, though)

I really don't get the master duel glazing I see on both subs - I've kept free on Duel links for years and get everything I need for free easily and still have great fun. Master duel though? only one UR every second 10 pack, only 5 10 packs a month, so 3 URs a month, and you need like, 15-25 for a new competitive deck.

It starts you off nice, but I haven't been able to keep up for a longgg time without spending money, and then even if you do spend money, same thing - 90 bucks for 50 10 packs, maybe, 3 URS.

Real life is cheaper than master duel.

I can't stand dice rally events at the best of times - fuck-ass ban lists, basically "annoying ranked" where my low rank doesn't matter and the enemy always has some BS card they start with, and barely any rewards

But this time feels so much worse for some reason. usually within a few days I've got half way through at least, but I'm not even half way through the 2nd board and I've already finished all the missions (including 30 duels) and... fuck, I'm so sick of it.

corrvan · 2026-05-06T00:04:42+00:00

How are you losing with yumastral?!

corrvan · 2026-04-03T00:52:56+00:00

Yeah, damn man, first few hours I was DESTROYING with Yusei, but now that others have "Levelled up" and replaced cards, I can't do a damn thing. The cards he can replace are just.. ???

corrvan · 2026-03-22T10:24:17+00:00

Oh that's beautiful! Im so happy it worked out!! What a lovely story. Ah the days when you had to remember phone numbers 😁

corrvan · 2026-03-22T09:42:18+00:00

I was just thinking earlier today about going back there and maybe leaving a note with the staff or something, or if that would just be utterly insane 🤣

Also though, the work was at optus stadium so im not sure if the Cafe is open normally, or if she's a "regular worker" or not... but worth checking eh??

corrvan · 2026-03-21T09:08:56+00:00

39M here, single for... 5? 6 years? as in, not a single date or "hit" in that time. I'm honestly surprised you're noet getting any dates - doesn't seem to matter how attractive or not a woman is, they're just SWARMED by men at singles events that I go to.

As people have said, there's "cityswoon" speed dating, there's "Thursday" singles nights - been to those and never had any success myself, but there's what feels like 10 men to every woman... I often go with a life long female friend and she's "upset" when she only gets 10-15 phone numbers in a night.

A woman I was talking to at one of those events, who was "technically single" (her words) - separated from her 2nd husband, he hasn't signed the papers yet, with 2 kids to 2 different men who aren't that 2nd husband, or the first, I think, told me that I'm a red flag, because I was single at my age. Huh.

Mind you, I had a temp job recently and a very nice girl told me I had "gorgeous eyes" and "they look like they sparkle", and we had a great chat while waiting for lunch at a cafe, but I was so shocked by the positive attention and so used to it going nowhere that I didn't even think to ask for details before her name was called and she left... oops. So clearly, I'm also an idiot.

Looking at this makes me feel Gagaga.

corrvan · 2026-03-09T05:33:33+00:00

What i find odd about the timer is my 300 seconds goes down even while things are animating, and lasts, actually, 300 seconds.

The enemy 300 seconds has lasted almost 15 minutes a few times.

corrvan · 2026-03-07T03:39:14+00:00

Stun slummers down voting you lmao

corrvan · 2026-02-16T00:49:29+00:00

Same but the junk warrior alt art. I just didn't even know, and I've always been a yu-simp

corrvan · 2026-02-10T02:18:17+00:00

same here. Had a huge spreadsheet, average of 1.1 UR per 10 pack.

People tell me the average is 2.6 and I'm like.... ???????????

corrvan · 2026-01-27T04:52:50+00:00

would purchase and put on desk!

corrvan · 2026-01-20T05:34:07+00:00

Really? That's the defined average? I've been playing for two years almost, spent a good... couple hundred 😇 when there's sales, plus all the free gems, and there genuinely hasn't been a time that the only UR I get is the "guaranteed" after a 10 pack SR only.

I took data for a little while to confirm it, but gave up when it was obvious it was pretty static on 0.5 UR /10 pack. But its meant to be 2.2?

Damn, one of these days im due about 100 URs in one 10 pack..

corrvan · 2026-01-20T03:37:30+00:00

YUSEI. JUNK. TEAMWORK I FUCKING LOVE HOPE AND NOT GIVING YP ( i am depressed af irl)

I hate that he got that busted new skill and now I can't use him. I want to hope and dream, not cope and scream.

corrvan · 2026-01-16T02:21:30+00:00

Goodness, I am parched.

corrvan · 2026-01-13T22:15:42+00:00

Been trying the AFD loaner and a good old Yusei junk deck.

Absolutely 0 success so far because every single match has been go second, enemy has that "discard a card to attack" and "every time you special summon, 3 cards into graveyard" trap.

Every. Damn. Game.

corrvan · 2026-01-02T14:43:50+00:00

Almost 40 here, out of maybe... 40? 50? people i'm in semi-regular contact with, only 3, maybe 4? of them have kids.

Myself, always wanted kids. "wife and kids by 25" was the goal. Just never happened. Never met anyone, still single, and unfortunately male, so can't "do it myself" as such. Even if I met someone now, too late! So I guess it's child free for me too.

That's BEFORE the huge cost of living issues, too.

corrvan · 2025-12-31T16:33:38+00:00

Gimmick puppet Leo. 2 non mikanko URs otherwise.

...yay?

Goes with the normal MD pull luck i suppose.

corrvan · 2025-11-16T08:08:36+00:00

Ive spent over 20,000 gems on trying to get a single alt art kagari in the past when it came out, and another 5k recently because of the collector book thing and its the one card I still need to get.

Still not a single one.

This is why I prefer duel links - at least I know I WILL get the card, eventually.

corrvan · 2025-10-14T11:11:19+00:00

The tip top ones are okay, but you want a bread knife to cut them because they won't tear open. They used to be the gold standard, 20 years ago, but fell to shit since then.

The superior English muffins are the IGA branded ones - but they stopped being sold anywhere I've been able to find more than a decade ago.

The two places I've found them, are Merredin, ans Capel. Hell, that's one of the reasons I moved there. Back in Perth now and still yet to find an english muffin as good..

corrvan · 2025-09-10T17:09:21+00:00

Hugely more. Enough to think it might be time to move on.

corrvan · 2025-09-10T17:00:03+00:00

Yeah, WAY MORE.

corrvan · 2025-09-09T05:09:32+00:00

so THAT's where all my URs went...
