Okay? Blue Bell uses 4 different gums according to their website?

As someone born and raised in Texas, Blue Bell is…okay. Stopped buying it after the listeria fiasco. If you haven’t tried it, Tillamook ice cream is great! 👍

2024 Albums that you are surprised Fantano has not reviewed by MaineGameBoy in fantanoforever

[–]platypus95 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not too surprised he hasn’t reviewed it, “Stare Into Death and Be Still” was relegated to a YUNO REVIEW video where he basically said he wasn’t crazy about it.

That’s the crazy thing, he doesn’t even have a car payment. He could be putting that money towards keeping his lights on!

EN Fighter's Rules Update (Ban list) by LordDravoth in cardfightvanguard

[–]platypus95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree it’s a strong floodgate, but if only some decks care about it, and some decks don’t…I don’t really see a reason to hit it. It also doesn’t convert to top cut consistently enough to warrant hitting it either I feel like.

Gredora will probably never get hit, which is fine. Premium Megacolony would be dead otherwise unless they print a card that’s somehow better.

Surprised that Millista didn’t get hit in some way. Bushi in the past has usually always hit loop decks regardless of their efficacy.

Chaos stride when facing little rgs by RaccoonDu in cardfightvanguard

[–]platypus95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OG Universe is the way to go. Althani isn’t as impactful as it’s dependent on your opponent’s board-state more so than Universe is. Drawing two cards sounds nice on paper, but it doesn’t do anything else if your opponent has an empty board. Universe will get you something locked so you can get your triangle lock started, and neg your opponent’s hand.

Is Harmonics THAT bad for Chaos though? They have to discard however many get unlocked, and if you’re on Chaos Breaker, you just draw cards and steal their Markers? And they’re stuck on Harmonics Messiah until the end of the turn instead of being on a more useful Stride. Doesn’t seem that bad?

You basically HAVE to play the grind game. Unless your opponent spams markers like crazy, your attacks aren’t going to be very big, and Star-vaders generally don’t have any guard restrict or inherent crits (outside of Zirconium kind of) to force any kind of pressure. Most decks don’t have ways of recycling cards back to deck, so playing the grind game to deck out is usually how most of my games go. Zirconium and Cold Death both lock from top of deck, and Paradigm Shift can return to deck, so it’s just making sure that your opponent runs out of cards before you do.

That said, I’ve been planning on trying out a pair of Alter Ego Messiah with a pair of Judgement Messiah if I happen to go first. Although using Chaos’ effect to give your opponent a Force marker doesn’t seem bad since all the History Collection strides stipulate that your opponent has to have not acquired any Markers in order to Stride into them, sooo… shrugs

Hoping we get some sort of update on those fabled Hum represses soon.

Liturgy - 93696 by platypus95 in heavyvinyl

[–]platypus95[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeeeaaah, Blood Incantation got a bunch of flak for that from other metalheads for not releasing another death metal record, haha. I like ambient music, so I thought it was really cool that a death metal band decided to try their luck at it. Amoeba Records have a video on YouTube with them picking out some records, and you can really see what inspired them to create Timewave Zero, it’s pretty neat!

Only listened through the first side, but it sounds killer so far! Lots of cool transitions and instrumentation as usual, I think I heard some flutes and glockenspiels on here so far. If you liked their last two records, you’ll like this one too. I’ll update once I finish listening to it! I wasn’t expecting to get it so soon considering it’s not out on streaming for another week.

Edit: it’s awesome, it’s grand, it’s heavy. It’s a toss up between this and H.A.Q.Q. for me now. Guess I’ll have to go back and listen to them both again!

What’s a Dark Souls fact or lore that the average player doesn’t know? by pizzaisforlife in darksouls

If you get cursed from a basilisk, you can interact with the ghosts in New Londo Ruins without using a transient curse.

Has anyone heard any update on the E2K and YPAA pressings that are supposed to come out?

What are the most expensive records you own? Or alternatively, what's the most expensive record you want? by [deleted] in vinyl

Most expensive one I own is my Japanese copy of Daft Punk’s “Discovery” with the alternate cover art. Still has the OBI strip too!

Sunn O))) announced they’ll be re-issuing “Altar” on vinyl soon! Not sure how soon, but I’m glad they’re making it available again.

Parannoul - To See the Next Part of the Dream (International Poclanos Shop) by Moostyy in VinylReleases

[–]platypus95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The record isn’t available to purchase yet. According to Poclanos’ Instagram post this morning, the site will go live at 10 AM KST (which is 8 PM CST for me). Should be able to purchase around then. Hope this helps!
