@bashmcalister Momentum ain’t that strong. Pong was the first video game, doesn’t really mean shit unless it’s got the chops to be fun for 30 years. Pong is gone and magic is here

Can we PLEASE get over the Magic Supremacy bullshit?
Magic is the Bitcoin of TCGs. There are a ton of games that do things better than Magic does but it was the first so it has the most traction. If Magic wasn’t 1st there’s a strong argument that it wouldn’t have lasted.

@zectrillionaire @bashmcalister The problem is you need to find people to play with, you can always find someone playing Magic within 3 miles of you anywhere in the US.

@KrystaIAvatar @mis0b_ Flashbacks often, almost always, recontexualize events
English
@FNbunchonumbers @mis0b_ No. A flashback is not retcon because it doesn't change anything. it's simply showing events that happened in the past. A retcon has to recontextualizs or straight up change an established event, then pretends like that was always the case.
English
Why are people acting like this isn't a retcon. It's continuity added retroactively that wasn't originally there. This doesn't mean it's bad but it is a retcon lol

@GutokuEijin Am I crazy in thinking that homophones are not the major part of Japanese poetry? While not wrong, it seems like a weird part to emphasize.
English
This is why I have an arguably irrational hatred of “English Haiku”. Everything about how Haiku are constructed is rooted in how Japanese as a language functions in a way that cannot meaningfully be translated into English.

i tried reading some japanese poetry while in japan, and found it pretty bland. this surprised me because it’s a culture of incredible aesthetics, so i looked it up. it turns out that many japanese sounds have completely different meanings depending on context, and poets leverage this to evoke multiple images/concepts at once in a way that is impossible to translate with any fidelity. for example “matsu” means “to wait” and also means “pine tree.” “furu” means “to rain/snow” and “to grow old.”

@bl00dmoonhunter @Maudeofmany Damn salty as hell for calling out a game that doesn’t look fun. I’ve been gaming over 27 years that’s why. So for me it’s a fact.
English
@FNbunchonumbers @Maudeofmany Driveling over this doesn’t do anything but you’re so mind numbingly addicted to negativity you see everything as a dichotomy
You haven’t played the game 27 years ago, you didn’t today, why comment?
English
@bl00dmoonhunter @Maudeofmany 27 years ago we had better games than this bro
English
@Maudeofmany Putting modern standards on a 27 year old game, I just know you will be all over making an AI generated game with your ideas and only play that
English
@DaQiHuangdi Been here 10 years. Have not noticed a large difference between Japanese and Americans in general happiness from life. If anything I give the edge to Japanese people

@Dynamite_Derek Bloated and doesn’t respect your time are different. All the bloat is optional, the main story is fun and doesn’t waste time except for a few random mini games that are over quickly like the dolphin and parade.

@gaijinthoughts Is it? I thought the rose in interest is to intentionally kill "zombie companies" surviving off loan rotations. And to increase the FX value of yen

Reminder the artist for the goblin deck encourages you to proxy the deck.

@MaxDamage9999 There is decent variation and balance between the 3 types but I just really don’t like that decks need turn 3~4 win potential or 20+ removal. There’s no in between it’s very extreme
English
@FNbunchonumbers Yea landfall represents aggro pretty well but it's an izzet/4c control world at least for me, personally.
English
On the one hand: yes, MTG creators DO suck at MTG overall. On the other hand: nah, Standard needs some bans to get away from a 2 deck meta of control or Izzet.
Toothy!@toothymtg1
seeing content creators complain that there were no bans in standard every b&r is a reminder that most content creators are not good at magic. it’s completely unreasonable to think this month’s metagame information conveys a format needing bans, +the gameplay is great
English
@BarbraWyre I think it takes more concentration to bend away what someone else is bending so the assumption is they will either fight for control of the armor or whip stuff at you. At worst it’s a neutral move but it’s kind of preemptive I guess. Also could just be habit
English
I never understood using metal as armor when fighting another metal bender. Wouldn’t the other metal bender just bend that metal around you and use it against you???
dia is watching jjk 🂱@kiyodia
ugh yes the metal bending armor move is so sickening i love it
English
@toothymtg1 Have you seen a lot of ppl saying it’s unbalanced? Most criticism I saw was that the balance is fine but the speed is too fast and pushes out too many archetypes

@rowanfornow The thing is I think bad faith requires some sense of self awareness or intent.
English
The problem with the breakfast question is obviously basically everyone can understand hypotheticals. I've literally never seen someone actually fail the test, just say "I didn't have breakfast, so I'd feel how I do now." Try a hypothetical like "if you had a million dollars what would you spend it on" and almost every single person on earth will answer it. The problem with hypotheticals is when people are willfully obtuse and intentionally do not engage with a hypothetical. Misinterpreting bad faith as a cognitive failure is itself a cognitive failure.

@pudelkonasok @wizardofbarge On a recent blogatog mark said print to demand is out of the question as they have reserved printers a year or more in advance. Basically they would have to change their entire release schedule (7 sets a year…). I wish they would but I’m guessing they won’t.
English
I can guarantee you not a single person that actually wants to buy this deck to play it would be upset waiting 7-8 months for it to be print to demand. We want to play it, not hoard it to artificially inflate the value and turn a profit. Even @wizardofbarge wants more out there!

@FNbunchonumbers @mbjackng Don't know where I heard it from, but this game has to succeed or the company is going under iirc

given Yacht Club’s track record i’m inclined to believe Mina is probably a perfectly good game without major balance issues but i can understand why people would interpret the devs sticking their neck out this far to appease everyone as a lack of confidence in their own game
Yacht Club Games@YachtClubGames
Hoping to make the game easier? Amp up the challenge? Looking to get WEIRD???? 🥸 We’ve got you covered. Mina the Hollower has tons of built-in modifiers that customize your experience from the lenient to the punishing. 💪 What kind of experience are YOU going to craft? 👾
