Crying my way through the Cimo stuff 30 minutes before work. Might be ridiculous because I never even met him, but it just fucking sucks y’all. Tell someone you love them today. Fuck cancer.

Shapesnatch getting a reprint in 2026 is an inspired choice. Please keep occasionally reprinting old bad cards

Thanks to RJ’s post the other day, I’m reminded for my Clown Domain deck I’ll need a bunch of cheap ass cards that will be hard to get. Damn

Here’s hoping I can do a BCS, YCS, or both this year

Every time I see Swerve and Nana I see a New Day style, “Please never break these guys up” duo

That Swerve v Bandito match was EVERYTHING damn

CFV will be back. When I have time/money to do it irl, since that’s my favorite BUT Magic Era is SO FUN, so I am glad I jumped into this, and the people I’ve met through it has already been worth it So take the above post as, “I want it, but I’m still happy with what I’ve done”

Isolde @isoldevt.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

Like I said above, I do enjoy what I’m able to make. Magic Era also has a limit, but I love making it, and I hope that shows I also enjoy community building. I used to do irl comedy with audience participation It’s a balance. I’ll always do what I like, but I like to do it FOR someone too

Oh yeah Doctors besides the ones I see for my gender stuff have to know I’m on HRT. Bleh

Do the 3 Stygian monsters also count? They have no lore besides “Used my the cops in 5Ds but”

I wish ANY lgs near me sold YGO singles. It’s a big ask. So I get why they don’t, but damn I want to avoid using TCGplayer as much as possible

Isolde @isoldevt.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

The Chaotic TCG finally returning actually makes me want to play another TCG for the first time in years

Damn MBT was right. Sketchers Slip-Ins really are good

Isolde @isoldevt.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

One day I will get back to putting something related to it on my channel, because I love the game too much to stay away, but I know that it’ll just have to be a passion project, because it’ll never get 1/10th the views anything I make CFV related will

020

Isolde @isoldevt.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

I love Cardfight so much, and if I could justify using my very limited time I have to create on it instead of YGO I would, but when our community is basically DifferentFight, and basically no one else can hit 5k on a channel it’s a massive uphill battle 3/?

Isolde @isoldevt.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

But thinking about how when I streamed Dear Days my biggest stream was like 4 people, and I could get 2-3x that amount on YGO easily, as an entertainer you get significantly more of a good feeling when someone actually watches what you’re putting out 2/?

Isolde @isoldevt.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

There’s a discussion on the other site about how hard it is to make CFV content, and let me say, yeah it’s so damn hard Part of the reason I moved primarily to YGO was… I actually got someone to watch. I love both games, I’ve played CFV since release, and it’s changed my life 1/?

Ads when I watch politics: Get your plumbing checked Ads when I watch gaming: GIVE ME $400 BECAUSE YOU HATE TRANS AND LOVE CHARLIE KIRK AND HE’D WANT YOU TO GIVE ME $400 TO OWN THE LIBS (Hyperbole but y’all get it)

Rewatching GX with my friends has been fun. It’s honestly better than I remember, and knowing so many things get better gets me excited

Isolde @isoldevt.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

While using the word Race in DnD definitely comes with some negative connotations, I feel like calling them Species is like… just as bad if not worse I guess maybe they didn’t want to use similar language to Pathfinder 2, but it still feels icky

Isolde @isoldevt.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

I must say, if you go see Nova’s first reaction because you want to see someone’s first reaction and you want him to react to things first, he does in fact react to them first

I think it’s just the difference between Link spam, and a deck with Links in it

Isolde @isoldevt.bsky.social · 16/05/2026

I was expecting Edison to be the benchmark when I asked this lol I do want to include a variety of mechanics, so that can make things be a bit of a sticky thing to work on. Why I ask more about feel than anything

Isolde @isoldevt.bsky.social · 16/05/2026

Also how does one make control decks in the game fun to play against? Floodgates suck especially in casual, so is the answer actually just 1 for 1 traps and handtraps?

Isolde @isoldevt.bsky.social · 16/05/2026

I REALLY want to do like, a set of YGO decks as a board game style thing. Ones that aren’t too complex, closely balanced, and have some unique gameplay My first issue is: Should I build them with sides, or just 40-60 card decks that you can just grab multiple of?
