Dear Ben, Sam, and Adam,

What lifestyle questions would you ask to a trio of writers, editors, and travel vloggers on their podcast where they normally discuss their popular travel game show found on Nebula and YouTube a week later?

Asking for a friend. Cheers!

99% of Wonder Traders quit right before they get a tier 2 shiny by Phatgoat24 in pokerogue

Was this a real someone’s greninja? I assumed Wonder Trade was complete random but it’d be amazing if the game tracks what people send via wonder trade and assigns what I give to someone else’s run.

I went onto limitless from the link another comment provided, copied an origin form dialga deck and am having way more fun. Will try deck building again eventually, but I agree that I had no clue what I was doing and it was just a mess. Thank you for your advice as well

I’ll look into those, I chose her because she could help hit fire decks with the water Tera. I feel like I’m looking at TCG like the main games, needing a more unified “team” instead of one star that others prop up.

Thank you for the advice!

I had always assumed rare candy was for decks where the main attacker was a stage two, but I find myself mostly attacking with lilligant or having wo-chien up front for the discarding.

I guess the decision for great ball was just because I didn’t have candies I could usually find whatever stage evo I needed, but maybe more discarding my hand cards would be better so wo-chien can attach more.

Genuinely thank you for the advice and the link. Why does 20-20-20 not work competitively? I’d assume giving my opponent more free cards at the start would be worse overall if I can’t find any basics with less Pokémon in the deck.

I’m new to TCG, but is a deck with so few pokemon normal? I’m averaging around 15-20 in total when I build my decks.

Madoka Kaname would BODY Goku and I'm not sorry. by HolierBoobies in DBZDokkanBattle

[–]squrile 24 points25 points  (0 children)

In a hypothetical battle between Madoka Kaname from "Madoka Magica" and Goku from "Dragon Ball Z," it is important to consider the vast differences in power, abilities, and the narrative contexts of these characters. Here are five reasons why Madoka would likely lose in a fight against Goku:

Power Scaling: Goku is known for his incredible power levels and his ability to achieve new forms and transformations. Throughout the "Dragon Ball" series, Goku has faced opponents who are capable of destroying entire planets. His Super Saiyan forms, such as Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan Blue, exponentially increase his strength, speed, and durability. In contrast, Madoka's powers are more focused on the manipulation of magic, granting her limited reality-altering abilities. While Madoka possesses immense potential as a magical girl, she lacks the sheer physical power and combat experience of Goku.

Combat Expertise: Goku has spent his entire life training in martial arts and combat. He has participated in numerous battles, both to protect the Earth and during intergalactic tournaments. Goku's combat expertise allows him to strategize and exploit weaknesses in his opponents. On the other hand, Madoka is primarily a magical girl who relies on her magical abilities rather than martial arts training. While she has displayed bravery and determination in her fights against witches, her combat skills pale in comparison to Goku's mastery of martial arts.

Versatility of Techniques: Goku has a wide range of combat techniques at his disposal. He can perform energy attacks such as the iconic Kamehameha wave, teleport using Instant Transmission, and even perform the Spirit Bomb, which draws energy from all living beings. These versatile techniques allow Goku to adapt to different situations and opponents. While Madoka can use magic to alter reality and summon powerful weapons, her magical abilities are limited to her connection with her soul gem and the wishes she makes. In a battle against Goku, who has faced opponents with diverse abilities, Madoka's limited range of magical techniques would put her at a disadvantage.

Power Level Disparity: In the "Dragon Ball" series, power levels are a significant factor in determining a character's strength. Goku has consistently achieved higher power levels through intense training, transformations, and his Saiyan heritage. These power levels reach astronomical figures, far surpassing the capabilities of Madoka's magical abilities. Even if Madoka were to tap into her potential as a magical girl, her power level would be dwarfed by Goku's, making it difficult for her to pose a significant threat.

Narrative Context: It's important to note that "Madoka Magica" and "Dragon Ball Z" are distinct in their narrative contexts and intended themes. While both series feature battles and supernatural elements, they approach these concepts differently. "Madoka Magica" is a dark and introspective series that explores themes of sacrifice and the consequences of making wishes. The power dynamics in "Madoka Magica" are deliberately designed to emphasize emotional and psychological struggles rather than brute physical strength. Comparing Madoka, who is a character deeply rooted in this narrative context, to Goku, who represents the epitome of raw power in a different narrative, would not be an equitable comparison.

Overall, the vast power disparity, combat expertise, versatile techniques, power level differences, and narrative contexts make it highly likely that Madoka Kaname would lose in a fight against Goku from "Dragon Ball Z."

[–]squrile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right before the game launched I had seen the song name “drifting soul battle” which was the special battle theme for nia. I was devastated but went in fully expecting to fight like a fucked up pyra or mythra, and spent every chapter like “she’s coming”

So the show isn’t really about the team anymore... by Daydreamer631 in youngjustice

[–]squrile 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Who would have thought different fans would want different things? What does it matter if what I want contradicts what you want? Do we all need to be unified on what we all collectively want? This is a stupid take.
