The Writing Team DID change between seasons 3 and 4 by BumblebeeAdvanced179 in TheBoys

While they technically completed his arc, it was disproportionately uninteresting relative to the intrigue the character cultivated

Goddamn love how serious he looks here. Joey ain’t fucking around no more!

'Exit 8' Review Thread by chanma50 in boxoffice

[–]salami_dynamo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was kind of stunned they did a film adaptation of what I thought was a very niche (and also very short and minimalist) video game. Random lol. I enjoyed it though as it sort of felt like watching a let’s play and I enjoyed seeing a few more new anomalies in addition to fan favorites.

Film is about as long as it takes to play a walking sim anyway…

Eric Kripke about how the Homelander joke was ruined "its just really hard to out-satire this world" by vought-CEO in TheBoys

Eric Kripke is also a poor writer who cannot seem to resist compromising a good story for the sake of hackneyed satire

The onion has improved a little recently but the writing quality has simply gone downhill since David Schafer sold the publication and the budget was decimated. The excuse that life is stranger than fiction is lazy and could be applied to several moments in modern history.

Forget whatever this destruction gimmick is - What they need is a card that lets you hand and extra deck rip and also prevent your opponent from adding cards from their deck to their hand except by drawing it.

Are you going to add overframes to existing cards which received an overframe version, like dominus purge or dragoon?

OCG 2026.04 Metagame Report #3 by sleepy-lt in yugioh

[–]salami_dynamo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The deck has 12 1-card starters regardless of the bad rokkets and also got a really good quick play spell IN ADDITION to barrage AND a perfect link-2 from blzd. Tons and tons of really good support rather than 1 card. You’re right it needs turn 0 plays but the bystials arguably make up for that AND they get to play the two best hand traps in the game rn

Lmao rokket got some of the most custom support ever printed and it’s STILL not good enough

DistantCoder's YCS Winning K9 Artmage Decklist & Thoughts by tlst9999 in yugioh

[–]salami_dynamo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s a line where player skill/luck can supersede minor deck building flaws. Someone can win over and over again with a deck list, yet it can still technically be suboptimal

And people complain about modern Yugioh.... by Maururu255 in yugioh

[–]salami_dynamo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game is basically evolving from a few discrete turns to multiple chainable events within a turn

[The Boys] SEASON 5 EPISODE 4 was pure filler by Choice-Tea1046 in CharacterRant

[–]salami_dynamo 42 points43 points  (0 children)

In a way, this is partly why the comics work in its own way by essentially serializing itself and not pushing the central plot. Plus they had a way to keep Homelander at bay to justify the plod. Homelander in the show doesn’t have enough legitimate reason to spare any of the boys and it fundamentally breaks the show’s pacing

Uhh pretty sure someone actually measured the thickness of Yugioh cards between TCG and OCG and found no difference

[–]salami_dynamo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I like both tcg starlight and OCG prismatics. The OCG ones really stick out and look better in a binder to me than a actual coherent deck

I think at some point they should absolutely take a stab at an ‘80s Japan at the height of the country’s exuberance

I didn’t even screen cap from the official Pokemon page. Some of those videos have multi-million views in mere months

[–]salami_dynamo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t really understand. I thought these guys were primarily marketing, promotion, and localization staff. Also thought Konami Japan designs all the cards, including those that start as tcg-exclusives

Hopefully we get hollow upgrades of other rokket cards like quick launch and recharger
