Master Duel prints millions in profit but Konami can't afford a translator or a proofreader...

100

Did you miss the "Dark Spellian" incident? A filter was set to correct "Magic" in old cards to "Spell", and it rewrote some Dark Magician stuff. The AI translations are also obvious from how much meaningless, nonsense fluff is in item descriptions and story segments (which aren't even canon).

100

Unfortunately nothing new--Master Duel is also machine translated. But in an improvement from Master Duel, apparently now the output will be reviewed by actual people.

Channel update: I realized I'm long overdue to stop recording in front of blank walls, so I've paused to turn that room into a proper film set. Because I'm a theater kid with no chill, it will include colored spotlights. It'll take another couple of weeks to all come together.

I voted down the ballot for every candidate who promised to ban Droll & Lock Bird.

MarkThePage @markthepage.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Don't worry, though--there's a new solution! It's a new staple card printed at max rarity, and a playset will only cost you $200!

MarkThePage @markthepage.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Newly forbidden: Not wanting to be served an automatic loss because the other player was skilled enough to draw Maxx "C" Floodgates that effectively skip turn 1 can fix the issue of player 1's advantage, but they do not address Yugioh's main issue of unfun, noninteractive gameplay.

I have apparently been tinkering with something good. 🤔

Sorry I didn't post a video this week. I did something else.

New video! An unhinged duel with the devious @outofcharacters.bsky.social using only vanilla monsters... except the flavor text is the effect. This went above and beyond previous installments in the series--and not just because Mega Thunderball got launched onto a Z-axis. youtu.be/vvWGIYqZ2R4

Oh my god, this is INSANE. It's so cathartic to hear I'm not the only one bothered by Nintendo (America only?) now calling everything "the ____ game". The Mario Kart 8 GAME??? I thought you were talking about Mario Kart 8 the breakfast cereal! Mario Kart 8 the flamethrower...

The popups, sidebars, auto-playing videos, 2+GB pages... The whole experience is covered in spam, especially bad when trying to read long passages.

Branded, Tri-Brigade, Springans, Dogmatika, Therion, and Lunalight all synergized--and a single Crystal Beast summons every engine to the field. Yep, it's another new record for my biggest Yugioh guide video. Come for the combo slop, stay to see how many cards I'll throw. youtu.be/dgg8uFiQqbg

There is no day, no night. Only the Ever Twilight. No asleep, awake, no up or down, or right or wrong. Time became a starry-eyed illusion when the Ever Twilight rose--or set--whenever "when" was or will be.

Summarize it, rather than reposting their messages for them.

I think the more we give our platform to fascists (via posts like this), the sooner Bluesky will no longer be a place where fascists feel unwelcome. Remember what happened when we thought it was a good idea to give Trump a platform for laughs.

To think, five months ago I was bragging about having made little biscuits based on Yugioh's anime card design. Now I'm here with cake #4. Anything is possible when you make art for friends! (They really like when the art is edible too.)

MarkThePage @markthepage.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Eating the card explains the card. (This latest cake turned out much better than I expected! I cant stop looking at it--more pics in the comments!) #yugioh #cake #fudge

Fudge cake with dark chocolate buttercream frosting, and caramel, to resemble a Yugioh card.

I'm a simple man. When I see an account reposting someone else's words or image by copy/pasting as their own, rather than just sharing the original post, I block that account. Same goes for constantly repeating the same post as a new one. Just use the retweet button, please.

MarkThePage @markthepage.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

Cake☆Yummy No special occasion--I just wanted to use what I learned from the previous batch. I ran out of powdered sugar for the buttercream frosting, but the bit of grit from substituting some granulated sugar actually feels kind of nice. Uhhhh anyway, new Yugioh video this week.

Cake bases: cocoa powder and vanilla bean paste. Topping: chocolate buttercream frosting, and whipped strawberry mascarpone cream cheese

Dust off your Gold/Silver cartridges for this awesome Pokemon short film made by my friend John! You won't believe how many handmade Pokemon he's crammed in here. Picnicker Liz, Hiker Anthony, and Youngster Joey are my favorite NPC blorbos. youtu.be/_b1Xvm3Albk?...

The majority of Republicans on the Supreme Court have ruled that when the Constitution clearly states, "All persons born in the United States are citizens of the United States," actually it means they're NOT citizens. Republicans supporting "constitutional textualism" are liars & always have been.

Opponent used Theorealize to check the top card of my deck, read it for the first time, perplexed, then put it on the bottom. Wondering if that was the optimal play, she then accidentally asked, "Was he a good bottom?" So anyway, I can confirm that GMX Chairman Kimridge is an excellent bottom. 🏳️‍🌈

MarkThePage @markthepage.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

... I didn't pull a single rare card, but at least I got the one random Branded card in the set. And the mat! I'd only won one mat before this... and let's just say it had pendulum zones.

MarkThePage @markthepage.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

I had a great time at the Chaos Origins prerelease! I was so lightheaded from five rounds of rapid-fire explaining what my cards do, while also having great conversations with fellow Yugioh players. I never regret ditching my local OTS full of nasty cheaters, to drive farther out to the fun place.

This, Dragon of Pride and Soul, and Magicians of Bonds and Unity are "25"-themed gimmick cards based on DM & BEWD to celebrate the game's 25th anniversary.

Rainbow Life goes so hard in the Speed Duel deck that turns White Veil into Snatch Steal. Flipping its burn clause makes a net gain of 6000 LP AND you get equal rights for living as your true self.

I just bought Chicory last night because of the remix album, so that sales gap has closed a little! :)
