Overall other than the Snatchy limit I really like these changes, just wish we had gotten some interesting unhits or even more flood bans like Kristya. Solid 8/10 list for me.

VS stuff: I always felt the toxic parts of VS were Sue and K9, so the fact those got swapped for raw consistency is REALLY nice imo Droll: Hopefully a sign of what's to come Every other unlim: Who gives a shit lmao (Inclusion actually kinda matters tho realtalk)

Habakiri: If they had to hit Mitsu, this is the least harsh consistency hit, reasonable imo Snatchy: Probs the only hit here I dislike, I would've liked to see Yummy without Arc Light legal and this borderline kills the deck

100

Mululu/Ketu: I would have preferred the hypothetical Flame hit but these are reasonably impactful without killing the deck Jokull/Case: Ripper ban wasn't happening so massively hitting your good Jokull copies is the next best thing tbh

100

YGO banlist thoughts by hit: Torrents: Good get the rest of these fuckers too Binder: I like this card a lot but idk I can't blame them for wanting Maliss dead in a ditch Arc: HITLER IS DEAD Feather Storm: MUSSOLINI IS DEAD

Another Pokémon game, I maintain that Pokémon Rangers: Shadows of Almia is the best game in the franchise. Not the Rangers series, but the franchise. Love this one.

It's Deltarune, I feel I don't have to justify this one much; shoutout to Glowing Snow and Dialtone being the best songs on the OST. Also I got to play through the entire game for my girlfriend to watch so it gets bonus points.

Not only is Signalis an amazing game, but it singlehandedly skyrocketed my opinion of sci-fi horror. Not that I disliked it before, just this game really did a number on my brain chemistry regarding it. I also got to play it for the first time during Joseph's modcast, so fond memories from that, too

Had to drop a mainline Pokémon game at some point, and Pokémon White is definitely the most representative for me. Not only is Gen 5 still my favorite, this was the first Pokémon game I played for the first time at an age where I was sentient enough to understand everything happening.

There are very few mobile games I give much credit to, but Alto's Odyssey is one of maybe 5-10 that I do. Gorgeous visuals, a really finetuned arcade runner gameplay experience, great sound design; genuinely a huge fan of this as my non-puzzle mobile game of choice.

Similarly, Othello/Reversi as a whole is my personal chess substitute. Once in a while I'll get sort of hyper focused on getting better at this game for a month or two before petering out.

Weird one, but Katana Nonograms here is less as a "this specific game is important to me" and more as a general representation of "I play a lot of nonograms as my go-to puzzle of choice/thing I do as a replayable mobile game"

Nier: Automata is the game I'm playing through currently and I've been enjoying it a ton. Just hit the point in route B that I feel it really begins to split from route A (after Amusement Park) and I'm having fun with the new quests+REALLY looking forward to whatever happens after the whale fight.

I play a lot of incremental games, and to this day, A Dark Room stands out as the best I've played. Not exactly a hot take, but between the added story, fun mechanics once you can access exploration, pleasant playtime, and multiple endings, this is in a class of its own within its genre

Great childhood memories of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, still my favorite of the Mario & Luigi series to this day for nostalgia reasons. Funny story, in the first fight against Cackletta, the black holes+lightning scared me so much as a kid I almost threw my GBA across the room LMAO

Poképark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure is the first game I ever 100%ed as a child. I am not kidding.

Crazy pull here, but Book of Mages: The Dark Times was my shit during the peak of Flash games. Easily played this more than any other one, although I can't speak to if it holds up. I should probably play through it again soon at some point.

100

Star of Providence is probably the game I play most these days just because it's such a well made and replayable rogue-lite. Really cool aesthetic and some fun lore on top of obviously good gameplay. The runs are way longer than the average rogue-lite though, if anyone plans to try it.

Hollow Knight, another favorite and a huge part of why I began playing more Metroidvanias. Great art, great world, great feeling combat, and GREAT music. Shoutout to the Radiance and Sealed Vessel OSTs, incredible setup for the final boss(es).

I might genuinely have to put you down dog

My favorite game of all time, TES III: Morrowind. An incredibly weird yet engaging world, one of the most interesting magic systems of all time in spellcrafting, and an extremely lively modding scene that keeps the game fresh well after its lifespan.

I love engagement slop I love engagement slop

Icl, while YGO leaks can be fun in a way to discuss, trying to talk about them for stuff like Gee Em Ex is really annoying bc people will call the archetype shit while it's missing ⅔ of its cards, including the seeming centerpiece of the deck

350

Yeah one of the matches I won at my most recent regs was pretty explicitly because my opponent Faimena'd me turn 1 instead of holding it and I just cleaned up the backrow after and they had fuck all for followup

I have that popular with friends thing and it's funny because like 50% of the posts I see from it are YGO and the other 50% are horny and I'm like "yeah that tracks"

do you remember when, during this, some people started saying british soap was no-rinse and people had to post the back of the bottles because no it fucking isn't

Card is defs strong imo but it's pretty specific in what wants to play it

100

Oh also I'm thinking a bit about Heavy Poly in side, at which point I'd want 2 Allvains in ED, probably over the third Eveningstar and... something else, might just need to be third Condemned

Currently working a lot on Patron Darklord because I have a problem. Couple things I'm considering still: - Is Dom Spark actually good - 2 Ixchel I think is correct, second comes up a lot for grind but 3 is probs overkill - I wanna cut 1 non-nonengine/starter but I think everything's uncuttable

You might be playing the worst Genesys deck in the game dog

I've been dieting pretty heavily and sitting down and really figuring out how many calories a few handfuls of pistachios had left my genuinely devastated. Fuck do you mean one ounce is like 150cal

040

Thinking a little about Abyss Actor, which is the only deck AFAIK short of like, stun/trap decks that gets to flex Songs, Impulse, and Spark in the same list. Still dogshit but kinda cool.

My GF plays LADS and sometimes she'll show me scenes from it/twitter discourse and it's like looking through a veil, it's incredible

As usual, the one true crime above all: being a little annoying

040

One of the reasons I got so attached to Memento for so long is while you can certainly learn the baseline combos, the skill ceiling for this deck is absurd. I'll never forget playing thru 4 HT w. it at a regs and only losing because I STILL misplayed after all that into an avoidable Nib.

030

Are you sure? Maybe you bought another one and forgot, I'm sure an estimation like having bought 6 or 7 kettles would be a safer bet-- (I'm sorry for this bit but also very pretty kettle)

So obviously going first side sucks yada yada, however: - MORE DARKLORD LORE WHOO - I do think this being highly flexible as a reward for playing trap decks is genuinely very cool, more fuel for my 12 trap non-engine Trix list

030

I showed her the fucking whipping crop minigame and she asked me how this can even "technically" not count as porn at this point 😭

It's crazy bc we genuinely peaked with just having the clockwork visible. We got a whole aesthetic genre out of that shit, we KNOW WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT WHY ARE YOU FUCKING IT
