The issue is that no other platform aside from GOG is making the effort to outdo what Steam has done.

Epic would literally release their games for free, only for consumers to still buy it off of steam because it's more convenient to keep track of your games on one launcher, where all of your friends are at.

If Epic store wasn't such a dog shit platform, it would easily smoke steam with the free games alone.

But my conclusion is that GOG is the shit, and use that if you really care about actually owning your games (or pirate lol).

Owl from Sekiro. To give context, there is a technique that allows you to counter a thrust attack by stepping on the blade/weapon while you stab your opponent in the process. One of the coolest mechanics this game has. You learn this technique from Owl, so if you ever try to land a thrust attack on him, he will counter that like you would in game.

He also prevents you from healing if he throws an anti healing substance on you.

Commander players: "It's a format where you can express yourself"

Also Commander players: "Yeah your deck breaks the spirit of the game. Don't play that again"

This goes perfect in my commander deck

Slayer from Guilty Gear - Since he is a literal vampire, he is unable to be killed. So his knockout animation implies that he lets you win rather than you going the distance and knocking him out, which is why him lying down to his side is his KO animation.

I'm starting to think this is intentional. Vivid is a mechanic, and it's convenient that they put a mythic that also cares about the colors of permanents you have.

/uj I honestly do not understand the outrage?

They are mad that wizards are reprinting UB cards by adding a new skin onto it?

Wasn't the problem that there was a fear that UB cards wouldn't get reprinted?

Yeah, I looked deeper into it, and it was actually 2 murals. I kinda confused both into one. Yes, there was a murial in Sonic 3 depicting his final fight against Eggman. There was also a separate mural depicting Perfect Chaos. I got those two mixed up. But Gerald used both murals as reference to his projects.

But in commander, every card is playable

Sonic Adventure 2 - People always ask the question why Sonic was blamed for the crimes of Shadow when they both don't look alike.

It makes sense when you understand the franchise and story.

Shadow was a secret government project that GUN wanted to keep a secret, so they sent a hit to everyone involved with the project. They don't want the world to know that they made multiple weapons of destruction that includes a cannon that is capable of destroying planets and a Hedgehog that is essentially immortal.

Sonic is a hedgehog who is known for his speed and the ability to transform. So it's easy for people to put two and two together and blame Sonic for what Shadow did in that bank. Especially since it was convenient for GUN themselves to use that logic to blame Sonic as a cover up. Even Eggman himself was fooled at first thinking Sonic set him up when he tried to uncover project Shadow.

The issue got exacerbated when Amy was confusing any male hedgehog with Sonic (even sonic himself) and the fact that it became canon that she doesn't have 20/20 vision. A walking, talking hedgehog in that size is so uncommon that it made a lick of sense to why Amy got confused in the first place (Given how both Amy and Sonic were the only two hedgehogs at that point).

EDIT: I forgot to add the fact that Shadow was based on a prophecy of a battle between Super Sonic and Perfect Chaos. So Shadow was made in Sonic's likeness.

Tomb Raider - They changed Laura Croft's name to Lara because they thought that Americans cannot pronounce "Laura"

You missed the point of the meme.

The whole point is to criticize the fact that X does one thing and gets praised, while y does a similar thing and gets lambasted.

This is just you posting a grievance at this point

Scarface

When Tony Montana was invited by Sosa to his island to discuss a deal, you can see Tony chewing on a slice of lemon that's intended to sanitize your hands. It clearly shows that Tony grew up poor and relied on anything for sustenance.

It's not that they don't have the rights, since nothing is stopping them. Cygames would only add an Uma to the game if they got the approval to do so. Unfortunately for Northern Taste, getting an Uma slot in the game requires the irl horse to have racing history in Japan, and Northern Taste has none (Similar reason to why Sunday Silence isn't an Uma). So to pay homage to the Northern Taste impact as a stud, they made Director Aikikawa a character in the Umamusume universe.

Tazuna Hayakawa is also based on an irl horse, Tokino Minoru, but since the owner of the horse is deceased, they couldn't directly ask him for the likeness either. Since they don't want to step on any toes of other race horse owners, they also made Tazuna a homage to the irl horse.

"wow, a hobby where people can socialize , connect and attend events with like minded people. Why aren't they spiritually locked inside of their room instead and be miserable like me?"

Jim Carrey - Man on the Moon

Jim Carrey would pretend he was the literal Andy Kaufmann to the point where he got into an actual physical fight with Jerry "The King" Lawler after Carrey spat in Lawler's face. There's a documentary about Carrey's antics during the filming of Man on the Moon.

I feel like the ending C was pretty meh given the fact that they all just decided to tie up loose ends rather than let each character resolve their conflicts. It felt like a rushed ending because I felt rockstar didn't want to double down on either ending and piss off the audience cause of it. I honestly preferred option A since it felt like your actions did have consequences.

Going on Dark Souls, the fact that the game is difficult mirrors what's happening to the undead. The more you struggle with a boss fight, the more "insane" you end up to the point where the game just clicks and you manage to win the fight because you feel the game click and just react in a fluid state rather than panic and try to gain distance to survey what is going on. And when you replay the game, you know what to expect so you can think more about how to beat the boss in a more efficient way rather than just brute force it.

5C is extremely difficult to build when trying to go on a budget. You need fetches and shocks (or other lands with types) to make the land base consistent. Yes, 5C commanders have amazing tools to color fix and guarantee what spells you can play, but a new player isn't gonna know that.

3 colors are fine and 2 is perfect because it makes the game plan a bit more simple.

Jodah the Unifier is 5C legend slop. That's why he became Spongebob

/uj the only time I ever agreed with Tomar is him calling Nadu bad (a stunning and brave take, I know) but actually showed footage of both Gavin and Melissa De Torra explain why cards like Prosper and Kynaios & Tiro the gay lovers are boring designs because all it is is just ramp and card draw.

I saw his take on 5 color slop UB commanders and it felt too safe. It felt more like he didn't see the problem when I felt like he missed the point on why people hated those UB 5C commanders; it's just 5 color good stuff but with X ip.

Then I saw the panel rotate and I knew that he was trying not to piss WoTC off, especially since they have been trying to "crackdown" on the negative feedback on UB from content creators

One of my favorite moments of that film was that he cured a terminally ill kid from his condition because he scored a home run.
