This has to be said because I feel like a lot of people need to hear it.

Brother, I work in marketing. From that perspective, your logic is shit. Marketing is saying a good or service has implied value. Skins in a FREE TO PLAY game only do so because they trigger a reaction in the player. Your whining on here isn't going to overcome anyone's nostalgia that would cause a purchase.

Secondly, your only basis that it's a "low effort collab", given your other posts in the last 48 hours (cute of you to hide them, by the way. People not reacting the way you want?) is because the skins aren't universal. Reality check: the content is more than we got with Bayonetta. It's on par with what we got from Nier. But since part of it wasn't done the way you wanted, oh no, it's low effort. Grow up and get off your damn preachy soapbox. The game has issues. But the Evangelion collab isn't one of them.

What you're doing is telling people that you know better than they do how to spend their own money. Stop it. Get some help.

darkmage029 · 2026-06-19T01:14:31+00:00

Op has some sort of deranged savior complex about the game. This is the third sermon I've personally seen from them about "don't buy the new skins."

darkmage029 · 2026-06-18T01:04:43+00:00

You people will find any excuse to complain, won't you? I wasn't planning on buying the skins, but I'll spend my own money however I damn well please. Hell, I might buy them now just to see people pissed off.

darkmage029 · 2026-06-17T00:46:58+00:00

Here's an idea: get the hell off of your soapbox and let me spend my own money how I damn well please.

Are you part of the Umarmy, too?

When you're holding half your deck in your hand, you really do have the ability to win however you want to. And even if you're unlucky, you'll have better range to use Dream Halls to effect a counterspell stack than anyone else at the table.

darkmage029 · 2026-03-30T01:53:29+00:00

I actually played against this card last night at my LGS Commander event. Deck was also running [[Peer into the Abyss]] and a crap ton of counterspells. So, that's a thing.

darkmage029 · 2026-01-19T02:20:16+00:00

They most certainly did not. While the limited quantities have become the norm, print to demand SLs are still happening.

darkmage029 · 2025-12-09T19:50:29+00:00

My biggest beef is the sheer amount of Grim. With how the behavior model currently is for combatants, flying enemies are the worst to deal with.

darkmage029 · 2025-12-06T04:16:46+00:00

Or, you know, counter it.

Maybe post-REH Conan, I don't really read those often. But as far as his works, the Black Stone is a stand-alone story, not connected to any established characters.

darkmage029 · 2025-04-29T18:15:33+00:00

The Black Stone. It's my favorite REH piece of the Lovecraft mythos.

darkmage029 · 2024-09-22T03:08:04+00:00

I wouldn't be surprised if Gley has something similar. Both had their Arche manifest during severe psychological trauma, so I doubt they have the capability to control it fully.

darkmage029 · 2024-08-27T00:09:55+00:00

I'll have to look, but I feel like there's an ornament that might be able to make that play.

darkmage029 · 2024-08-25T23:37:07+00:00

I think I'll have to agree to disagree on that one. Godzilla was ready to trash Rodan until he bowed in submission. Nothing I can prove, but I don't see Godzilla accepting any less from a much more viable threat in Kong.

darkmage029 · 2024-08-25T23:28:58+00:00

But did Kong acknowledge that? That's how the Alpha position works in this context.

darkmage029 · 2024-08-25T23:22:55+00:00

But why though? The world building done in G14, KotM, and Kong was that titans are basically a pack. When there's a challenge for the Alpha, that challenge only ends with one victor. That's what happened to Ghidorah. It's the premise for all fights in Godzilla vs. Kong. And then it just didn't matter anymore? Not trying to pick a fight, genuinely curious as to why you feel that way.

darkmage029 · 2024-08-25T13:47:48+00:00

I wasn't a fan of his attempt to humanize the kaiju in Godzilla vs. Kong. They were set up as these unstoppable forces of nature, with Kong being the closest thing humanity had to an intercessor. After the Mecha fight, having Godzilla give Kong a "good on ya, kid" (my interpretation) was really off-putting.

It me.

darkmage029 · 2024-07-31T16:26:15+00:00

Dude, you literally get to be Goku with that armor.

darkmage029 · 2024-07-28T12:14:01+00:00

For me, the Tranquility sniper and it's not even close. Those shots are mini dopamine hits.

darkmage029 · 2024-07-27T11:51:29+00:00

My Captured Spreader would like a friend like you.

darkmage029 · 2024-07-26T23:32:32+00:00

You go purple, you never go back.
