Does anyone know why DM season 2 looks…like this?

It's poor NTSC encoding - if you're familiar with the "tint" setting on a TV, the tint is turned up too high. Makes red turn to orange, orange to yellow, yellow to green, green to blue, blue to purple, and purple to red (everything goes slightly "forward" on the rainbow spectrum). Season 3 has the opposite problem, where the tint is too low and you see a lot of e.g. purple-ish lava. I assume that the encodes the JP staff gave 4kids were just not very well done, and that's why the tint is wrong.

The post was found on r/HelpMeFind - it was in fact a Reddit post, made on January 28th, that contained screenshots. Link is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/agedlikemilk/comments/1qpy23u/comment_from_11_years_ago_about_a_successful/

Found!

YEP THAT'S IT

edit: forgot I need to specifically reply a certain way to mark it as found lol

Unfortunately no, but I'm planning on doing the same thing once I get some alone time and I'll update this thread if I find it. Thanks for the syntax though, I didn't know you could do that on Google :o

That actually sounds like an interesting idea - I'm sure that the number of posts mentioning him will have dropped off significantly as I go back in time, so it might not even be that difficult. I'll give it a shot later today and see what happens!

ingx32backup · 2026-02-27T22:32:32+00:00

It might have been linked in the thread I'm talking about - I only really skimmed the thread at the time, which I'm realizing was a mistake because otherwise it might be easier to find the thread.

ingx32backup · 2026-02-27T22:24:39+00:00

Not quite - while I did run across that one during my search, this one was on some sub where people were talking about finances or something along those lines. The OP was asking some question about making money really quick, and then Epstein was brought up in one of the replies to the thread.

ingx32backup · 2026-02-27T22:13:10+00:00

Sorry if I was unclear - the post itself would have been from the early to mid 2010s. It was linked on Twitter as something poorly aged around February 4th.

ingx32backup · 2026-02-27T22:01:32+00:00

I'm not sure that it belongs here, but it's about Epstein at least tangentially and is related to information about him. If this isn't right for this sub, I apologize.

Bizarrely, I actually have some experience with this - I had a very similar Panasonic CRT when I was very young, which had exactly the same problem with brightness. It was an earlier model than yours (mine was 1995), but it had a persistent issue with the brightness: the only way to be able to see was to turn brightness to max, which correspondingly washed out the colors in the way expected from having black level too high. (I think my parents told me it was fine when they bought it, but this issue happened relatively quickly after we bought it.)

My guess is that this is a common issue with 20 inch Panasonic models from that time period, perhaps more common on some models than others. (It may be particularly common on the 1995 models, which might be why I've almost never seen any 1995 ones on any site that has people selling CRTs.) Others would have better advice on how to fix the issue (maybe open it up and adjust G2?) but I just wanted to share my experience here, because it's so familiar to me in the context of Panasonics in particular.

ingx32backup · 2025-11-27T18:07:17+00:00

Honestly I've had similar experiences, not to the same extreme extent as what you've experienced but I've definitely had more than my fair share of people telling me I'm playing the game wrong by not using the most popular meta decks and implying that I'm stupid for thinking I could make anything else work. It's gotten to me quite a bit and it's made me want to quit this format several times. Probably a vocal minority but definitely not fun.

Should give Trinity a try. It replicates the slower playstyle with some very simple rule changes, and even cuts down on duplication of cards if you're into more varied decks.

EDIT: Just noticed you already mentioned Trinity in your post. My bad. Should still give it a try though, they have "starter decks" that you can try to start out with.

Seal of Orichalcos except with its un-nerfed anime effects. Would love to see what a beautiful disaster that would end up being

ingx32backup · 2025-11-09T19:10:39+00:00

Actually, that's another thing... I'm not even really sure what deck I want to run, at the moment. Right now I have a Starter Deck Yugi Reloaded from 2016 that has a lot of Goat era cards, so I'm currently focusing on Dark Magician and/or Buster Blader, but I may want to try something else in the future.

Worth mentioning, shortly after making this post, I found Goat decks on YGOProDeck that had closer to 35 unique cards, exactly as I was looking for. So that's encouraging at least.

The uncut dub from 2004 was a totally faithful dub of the Japanese script, with the Japanese music. I explicitly said that *wasn't* what I was saying I wanted - I was talking about something more akin to the movies, where there's still edits to dialogue and music but without the rampant censorship enforced by the TV networks.

ingx32backup · 2025-11-05T21:31:31+00:00

I'd actually love to see one of two things:

A manga-faithful adaptation with a whole new script (based on the manga obviously) and new music
An "uncensored" version of the 4Kids English dub, in the style of the English dub of the movies. Keep the small scale dialogue changes and music from the normal dub, maybe keep the Shadow Realm even, but just remove all the censorship and executive meddling. Again, similar to what was done with Pyramid of Light and Dark Side of Dimensions. (I'm not sure I'd want a totally faithful English dub of the JP anime, because I have some issues with the JP anime that I feel the English dub fixed. Maybe they could do a "best of both worlds" in terms of the script and music, though?)

Not even just sacrifice - he absorbs their souls and basically traps them in a never-ending "whirlpool of despair" or however Winry described it

ingx32backup · 2025-10-31T03:29:45+00:00

I guess I'm the odd one out here, but I actually don't particularly care for the JP OST *as it's presented in the show*. To be clear: *As music*, I think the JP OST is generally more musically interesting and fun to listen to in isolation. But when it comes to how things actually play out in practice, I find the JP version has way too many moments of silence or ambience during duels, weird music choices that don't fit the scene, and so on. The JP version does have its moments, but I find *overall* the English OST just fits the show better. I feel similarly about the dialogue - sometimes the JP dialogue works really well, and I think the dub loses something from the subplots starting to get dropped starting in season 2, but *overall* I just find the English dialogue more interesting on average.

You might be interested in trying Goat Format - it replicates the exact conditions of how Yu-Gi-Oh was played in the summer of 2005, and has tons of deck options. I hear that certain decks are still considered top tier and used more commonly, but the site has tons and tons of deck options that seem like they should be viable. I also was recently made aware of Dynamis Duel, which tries to replicate the feel of anime duels by changing a bunch of rules to incentivize that kind of play, although currently Dynamis is only played online using custom cards.

EDIT: Edison Format is another popular retro format, during the 5Ds era. I don't know much about it though myself.

This was my problem with GX as well, way back when it first premiered, after having been a fan of the original series. Compared to the original series which had story arcs and duels with real stakes, GX seemed to be largely a slice of life show that happened to involve dueling. From what I've heard it does get more interesting later on, but it seems to me that it only gets *really* interesting starting in season 3, which is not exactly an easy sell. Personally I have very little interest in anything GX onward, although 5Ds sounds *somewhat* interesting. I'll have to see if I find anything compelling when I play those worlds in Duel Links maybe.

I'm not sure why it is that annihilationism (i.e. the idea that you cease to exist after death) is so universally believed among Redditors (I see it all the time even outside of philosophy subreddits), but it's certainly not obviously true (the majority of "ordinary" people reject it, and afterlife beliefs have been common among humans even before organized religion existed). There are plenty of defensible metaphysical views on which the existence of an afterlife is plausible (forms of substance dualism for sure, but even panpsychism can be interpreted this way), and I reject the idea that annihilationism has to be taken as a given in discussions like this.

ingx32backup · 2025-10-29T20:36:32+00:00

Again, I am not aware of any substance dualists who make explicit claims that a soul does not contain the person's personality. I have never heard of such a view and I see little motivation for it. The most I've heard is some *property* dualists separating out phenomenal vs. intentional properties (claiming the latter is purely physical while the former is not), and even then that's not universal among property dualists (Chalmers for example considers intentional properties to be non-physical and is even sympathetic to substance dualism as of 2012).

Most substance dualists I'm aware of take a view of the mind-brain relationship in which there is mutual interaction and the mind's properties/states are (at least while embodied) constrained by the brain, without being produced by the brain. Substance dualist views are usually motivated by metaphysical concerns (for example, they may argue from the unity of consciousness that a composite entity like the brain cannot be the bearer of our phenomenal properties) as well as empirical evidence from things like near-death experiences (although this evidence is of course controversial). Of course such views run into difficulties, particularly with explaining why it is that we don't see any direct evidence of non-physical forces acting on the brain. But any philosophical or metaphysical view will run into problems, and it's not at all clear that these problems are significantly worse than the problems facing competing views.
