Well that's fun.

Neat study. Glad to see some real stats on how astronomically unlikely myocarditis and the such is.

So in my friend group, we're all vaccinated and there's been a massive covid outbreak anyway. I haven't gotten it yet, but a few of them are in bad shape. A couple are even boostered, too.

I'm not giving the told-you-so speech to them because that's just a dick move, so I will simply put it here because I need to vent. The vaccines clearly do not work. They don't stop covid, the symptoms, or the spread. At all. And the whole "it just stops the serious stuff" isn't true for a couple of these dudes, either. They have pretty bad symptoms already.

I honestly think I've already had covid or I'm immune to it, because I've yet to get any symptoms or test positive. I get tested once per week at work, so something would have been caught by now.

95% of ICU in my province is unvaccinated but honestly your personal experience convinced me the stats must be wrong. The vaccines definitely don't do anything.

scrolling through this in the morning and i thought this was about Gale for a sec. what a twist that would have been

i guess i'll actually check out the anime sometime to see the Wings in action.

excellent.

2009? that was also the year Blackwings won the world championship iirc.

also, damn 3 gale & 2 allure looks fun. when i was playing they were both at 1. not that i was even close to being 'good'

top 8 at nationals is really impressive! the site lists the deck value as $108 and i did a double take but then it listed DAD as $1. curious as to how much that was going for back then.

When DAD first released and was at 3, he was going for 250-300 canadian a pop. Thankfully once he got limited he dropped to a more respectable price.

I've reached the 5Ds story after getting frustrated with GX. I thought Yugi had it bad when he started with a good deck and then it got worse and worse later on, but Jaden actually starts with a well-themed deck and then ends up with all the weird Neo-Spacian and Ojama rubbish.

Yeah I ended up making a Gravekeeper Deck with the Grandpa pack cards and used that until I unlocked the Crow pack and made a Blackwing deck with those cards for the rest of the game. The story decks are straight up not fun to play most of the time.

Wow, with them not kicking people for idling back during the rush of ARR launch I didn't think they would ever implement it.

They did kick people for idling shortly after ARR launch though. Not immediately, but pretty quickly after.

They also do it when every new expansion comes out as well.

Tag. Anyone who knows me knows I used to be very big into Yugioh.

Definitely have some childhood stories like that one though.

The big one I remember was Dragon Zombie and Armored Zombie couldn't be killed in defense mode because 0 DEF meant it basically had infinite defense and couldn't be destroyed.

Why? I have no idea but every kid in my neighborhood played them that way.

I must be missing something with Bozjan duals. Every time it comes up, I don't get chosen

When you aren't selected, you get 1 notoriety. Eventually you'll have the highest notoriety and will get picked.

Edit: Unless you're just not getting the duel at all, in which case it's because you didn't do the CE prior to the duel perfectly. You have to not mess up a single mechanic (No vuln stacks) and not die to qualify for a duel.

The next Trial you face probably has my favorite theme in the entire game, too - one that I attempted to get into VGMC this year and failed. :(

Really? Of all the great music in 14, Bismarck's theme is your favourite? Not that anything is wrong with it, it's great, but not exactly top tier.

But opinions, I guess.

I've been watching some video lately of first time players and WoW refugees playing through the game, and every time they get to the end of 2.0 they're always comenting on how incredible the music and stuff is for all of it and, like, they're RIGHT, but I've heard it all millions of times now so it's just gone straight to background noise.

There's a speech a character in Prae has near the ends that's also just real cool, and I haven't paid attention to it for like 50 runs of it now so I just never think about it.

Such devastation...

Lol Echo.

You can survive towers in e9, reliably clear before voidgate 2 in 10, and easily skip at least two cycles in 11.

My group is learning the second half of E12S and we have a lot of deaths that are people just barely dying to AoEs so I'm really hoping the echo mitigates that.

Snagged the new shop minions because I have a problem. I think that puts me at 240 minions, which is my true endgame progression.

I'm a mount collecting guy. Closing in on 150 mounts. I'm sick.

I went undefeated in the swiss rounds at Canadian Nationals in 2009, wrote for Konami's strategy site for a couple years a few years later... but since Pendulums came out I fell out of the game and just haven't been able to get back into it. Every time I try I face a deck that does 30 plays on turn 1 and I have to read a novel on every card and I just get overwhelmed and put the game down again.

Frustrating because I have so many great memories in the game.
