off-topic

[stable quest]

So im guessing its cheaper than real cards?

[neon shore]

Oh easily

[fast hearth]

exactly after all, they are fake

[neon shore]

I mean if you're going for basic testing shit, you can just print out paper copies. If you want stuff to be a bit more professional, there are websites that print it out on basically official MTG cardstock

[narrow prairie]

Hey guys how much do you know about Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG card store circulation?

[stable quest]

I guess if youre just a casual player and your friends allow it then buying them is fine

[neon shore]

I personally like having money

So proxies? They're pretty cool

[fast hearth]

exactly, and im okay with that, but saying that its an arbitrary rule to ban them from tournaments?

[narrow prairie]

Hold on lemme use A Goho-M so I can save and load up Master Duel (I was grinding in Heaven)

[stable quest]

I see the appeal of having the real cards tho

[neon shore]

If it's a local tournament at like, a card shop, then it kinda is

You said it was a small tourney

Like, official or local?

[narrow prairie]

I wanna play in A Yu-Gi-Oh! YCS

[fast hearth]

both, usually at the store i go the winners can get spot at the state regionals

[stable quest]

So anyways i fucked around too much and i lost

[neon shore]

Just cast three lightning bolts

[turbid rampart]

Yeah uh, you gonna need like 1k plus to be able to play at that level

No joke

[stable quest]

If i went for the obvious win they would just resign tho, i wanted to prolong the game and fucked up 😭

[turbid rampart]

Fiendsmith and Ryzeal are like the best decks and the most expensive

[neon shore]

I personally think that having a LOT of disposable income shouldn't be the baseline barrier for entry to competitive gaming

[stable quest]

I just love stealing opponents cards

[neon shore]

It should be skill, not wealth.

But unfortunately, I don't make the card games.

Or scalp the cards.

(looking at you PKMN TCG)

[wild pelican]

there is no good reason for someone talented at deck composition to be held back from making a good deck

[fast hearth]

say that to golf, to people that race boats, to fencing, to...

[neon shore]

I say it's time we start cutting the waste 😈

[wild pelican]

are you saying golf is good

because golf fucking sucks

[neon shore]

Nah bro's just mentioning rich people things

[fast hearth]

or you know, get a better work and better pay, control better your debts, be economically responsible

[neon shore]

Ah yes, all things I have infinite control over.

I'll just pull myself up by my bootstraps, of course.

[fast hearth]

not my fault there

[wild pelican]

this gives off the same energy as referring to people as "the poors"

[stable quest]

This convo is going nowhere

[neon shore]

yeah but it's funny

[fast hearth]

like i said, not the first time he pushes the proxies talk

[stable quest]

If you have thee extra money and you like the game buy the real thing, if you dont want to, get proxies then

[wild pelican]

if you like the company buy the real thing

I love the game but hasbro can rot

[fast hearth]

not the company

[neon shore]

Ooh I should buy the company

Good idea

[fast hearth]

there's like nothing that i do buy that i do just because i like the company, thats just ass talk

why would you do that?

[wild pelican]

I buy from local businesses because I know the owners

[turbid rampart]

Ik Wizards of the coast is owned by hasbro but doesn’t hasbro have very little influence over MTG & D&D?

[wild pelican]

they have a LOT more influence than they should

like WOTC has its problems, sure

[neon shore]

My favorite part about modern MTG is how it is the fortnite of card games

[stable quest]

So ig buy the real thing from local businesses?

[neon shore]

"Hey, you wanna collab?"

👉 👈

[wild pelican]

I mean, yeah, when I do buy real cards I buy from my local games store

(few and far between, of course)

[turbid rampart]

If mtg didn’t have set rotation I’d might enjoy it

[neon shore]

This is genuine criticism btw

[stable quest]

Man i love going against mitotic ultimus, it feels like an actual good match up for me

[stable quest]

I mean you can try brawl, i dont think its affected by set rotation

[fast hearth]

you really love zora huh?

[neon shore]

I dislike the somewhat jarring departure from how things were to "but what if there was the walking dead or fallout or whatever"

(and I like fallout)

[stable quest]

Yeah especially since i built the deck

[wild pelican]

I've come to accept that universe beyond is going to happen whether I want it to or not. And hey, it did convince one of my friends to pick up the game, so I can't say it isn't working

[stable quest]

Its a commander no one has heard of, and i really like it

[wild pelican]

... plus most of my proxies don't exactly fit the MTG universe lol

but if I could thanos snap that shit out of the game I would

[fast hearth]

hakim started not long time ago, so he is fresh, got hooked, maybe too hooked

[stable quest]

I play like 50 games a day

[turbid rampart]

Eh, there’s other reasons I don’t like mtg as well, such as too many keywords that don’t explain what they do, it’s just “flying” or “trample” like explain what these mean, new players are gonna be turned away from all that info

Plus the game is really slow

[neon shore]

I'll give you one guess what deathtouch does

The issue is that a lot of keywords nowadays are set gimmicks

So they can stack up fast and get confusing, I've been there dw

[fast hearth]

those were bad examples to pick, but yeah there's a lot of keywords

[wild pelican]

I miss banding

[neon shore]

banding isn't a real mechanic

[wild pelican]

it was actually really powerful if you used it right

[neon shore]

yeah ik

also hasn't existed for like a decade now

[turbid rampart]

Also going from yugioh to mtg did not feel good, as I was used to how fast yugioh was, mtg is a snail compared to the Yugioh

[neon shore]

unless they brought it back

[neon shore]

mtg requires a lot of patience and attention to play well

[turbid rampart]

So does Yugioh

[fast hearth]

i mean, Hakim did just that, went from Yugi to MTG

[neon shore]

One thing I like about it over Yugioh is how I can actually. Absorb the information on the cards. Instead of reading an entire fuck off essay about how I'm gonna discard one card and take 200 damage.

[stable quest]

Its a only a handful that arent explained because theyre very common, and most of them are simple and straightforward, like "indestructible" cant be destroyed, "hexproof" cant be targeted

[turbid rampart]

This is why I like Digimon tcg the best, it strikes a balance between both

[stable quest]

I like mtg because you can do way more wacky shit than in yugioh

[turbid rampart]

It’s got mtg’s resource system but is fast like Yugioh, has keywords but they actually explain it for a first few prints, for 4 sets or so after initial release

[neon shore]

I'm gonna level with you for a sec: I kinda hate keyword counters

[fast hearth]

and it doesnt end in 2-3 turns

as yugi most of time does

[stable quest]

And you can actually interact

[neon shore]

I much prefer effects that temporarily grant a card a keyword, because of the tangible risk/reward factor that making that play creates.

[turbid rampart]

In no world does “hexproof” to me mean untargetable unless you just told me

[neon shore]

Just giving your 12/12 permanent hexproof and trample and double strike just feels boring imo.

[stable quest]

And its not solitaire most of the time (unless you're against simic )

[neon shore]

Considering most cards in MTG are spells

It makes more sense in context

[stable quest]

I meant it as in its simple to understand

[turbid rampart]

Ok but someone who isn’t knowledgeable on the game is going to lack that context

[neon shore]

Well that's why you

Learn the game

And THEN you get good at it

It's not just something, like a lot of games, that you can just pick up and understand instantly

[wild pelican]

someone who isn't knowledgeable on the game is not going to have knowledge about the game, that is correct

[turbid rampart]

Ok but a new player is gonna struggle to learn if they don’t know what they are doing

[valid knoll]

I would 100% have instead guessed it meant immune to statuses

[neon shore]

Hey chat

[fast hearth]

and MTG arena [online] helps a lot as there's always the description of the effects

[stable quest]

Theres a tutorial

[neon shore]

Introduce this guy to a rulebook

[stable quest]

And guide you can read

[neon shore]

Please

[stable quest]

Yeah that too

[wild pelican]

as much as I dislike arena, it's GREAT for learning how to play the game

[neon shore]

I've actually never used MTG Arena

[wild pelican]

reminder text is always available and chains happen on their own with minimal need for player input

[neon shore]

I've heard mixed opinions.

[stable quest]

Huh i thought i was spending way more than just 5h, glad to know im not addicted

[turbid rampart]

My guy a new player isn’t gonna look at rule book first thing, they’re gonna look at how a game looks, if they can’t understand it from a look, they aren’t gonna be interested in it

[neon shore]

Dawg, you can't tell me that Yugioh can be understood from a quick look

[turbid rampart]

Ok but someone who is getting into the game for the first time might not know about arena

[wild pelican]

idk what you want them to do about that

[neon shore]

Yeah lol

[stable quest]

Brother you cant print the rulebook on every single card

[neon shore]

Like, this relies on them having intelligence slightly higher than a seventh grader.

[stable quest]

Ask a friend or google it or something

[turbid rampart]

Actually it can, ever heard of this thing called the anime?

[wild pelican]

they already have a game advert in like half of all magic packs

[fast hearth]

i mean, a new players would be watching 2 veterans play, if physical they would gladly explain everything, or there's always someone also watching that would explain. Or would be playing against a veteran that would explain everything to them

[neon shore]

If I have to watch an entire TV series to figure out how to play a card game

[turbid rampart]

I’m not saying that

[stable quest]

So reading the rulebook is out of line but watching an entire anime isnt?

[neon shore]

The average card in that game has an essay on it lmao

idk man

[fast hearth]

learn from anime that you only need kuriboh

[neon shore]

The only reason I haven't tried Yugioh out seriously is because it's a very intimidating game to look at.

MTG was easy for me to pick up, I had someone to help me learn.

[turbid rampart]

I never said reading a rule book was out of line. I said it’s not the first thing a new player is going to look at

[stable quest]

Even if you watched the original duel monsters you still wouldnt understand how pendulum or synchro works

[valid knoll]

This doesn't stop Yugioh from trying

[neon shore]

So do you just go off of vibes when learning a new game..?

[turbid rampart]

Vrains and Arc-V are good enough to learn the game

[neon shore]

Like

[turbid rampart]

Looks but yes

[neon shore]

Most starter decks come with rule pamphlets these days, don't they?

I haven't bought one in years, but I think they still did when I was buying.

[fast hearth]

they have been coming with one fr a while

also lore text of the deck along [MTG cons/precons]

[neon shore]

I know they've had them since like, Alpha lol

So I didn't figure they'd stop

[neon shore]

The first set, for any uninformed

[turbid rampart]

Ok but like, not every new player is gonna have that

[fast hearth]

pretty sure most dropped both playing and watching yugioh around that time

[neon shore]

What are you even arguing at this point dude

[stable quest]

You can watch a video guide on the basics

[turbid rampart]

I started with arc-v

[neon shore]

You're literally just assuming every new player doesn't have any ability to help themself out or. think. honestly.

We are in the age of the internet.

There are very easy to comprehend series on these sorts of things.

[fast hearth]

if you go to a store, they would, also all stores have 1-2 days permonth [official events] for new players.
if you play the online game the game explain everything pretty well

[turbid rampart]

My point is, a game is a poorly designed game if the player can’t get into it from a first look

If they can’t understand what something does at first glance, they aren’t gonna bother to learn the mechanics of the game, because they lost interest with how it looks

[neon shore]

Okay sure.

I understood pretty much all of the basic mechanics within 5 minutes.

[stable quest]

This can very easily be said about yugioh man :/

[neon shore]

Different people different skills ig

[fast hearth]

you talking about magic or about XYZ and Pendullum from yugioh?

[valid knoll]

If it's me I just ask somebody I know about the game to tell me shit about it
Like
I'm not playing a board game/card game/ttrpg by myself, my buddy can show me the ropes or tell me shit until I know whether I'm interested or not

[turbid rampart]

I’m training to work in games design, I’ve literally been taught that if a player doesn’t understand a game from how it looks or get interested in its art, then it’s a bad game

This is one of the reasons I don’t like MTG

[valid knoll]

If I don't have a buddy that knows it, I don't have anyone to play it with anyway, so I won't bother looking at it for long.

[fast hearth]

XYZ and Pendullum from yugioh

[stable quest]

Gix please hit a craterhoof for once 😭

[neon shore]

Hey so MTG happens to have some of the best card art of any game out there.

[turbid rampart]

Ok but that’s not what I’m talking about now is it?

[neon shore]

And very easy to understand card layout.

[turbid rampart]

I disagree

[fast hearth]

you can, doesnt really change facts

[turbid rampart]

That I agree with

[stable quest]

Eh thats subjective but i like mtg art

[neon shore]

And very simple base rules (which you can add more onto as you go, with stuff like upkeeps and exile & milling & control)

[valid knoll]

I think a lot of card games have good art. Yugioh has really cool anime style monsters, MTG takes a different style but also has really gorgeous cards from what I've seen.

[neon shore]

Yeah tbf it depends on the set, but there's a lot of variety

[stable quest]

I also did not hit that craterhoof 😔

[neon shore]

So there's something for everyone imo

[turbid rampart]

Well no otherwise I’d be playing it

[neon shore]

Sure

[stable quest]

He's planning to royally screw me

[valid knoll]

Also, MTG isn't... Thaaat nuts to figure out at a glance? No more or less than classic Yugioh. Like, 5 greens is a thing you need to summon or cast a thingy, it does 3 points, the guys beat on each other, bigger numbers usually win...

[neon shore]

According to yourself, it sounds like you couldn't learn how to run a toaster tho man

[fast hearth]

i think all that mich needs, is the one right collab /universes beyond, to push him into magic.

[valid knoll]

Like, to be fair

[neon shore]

yuuuurp

[valid knoll]

How do you know how to normal summon a 5* monster

It's not printed anywhere that you need a sacrifice

[neon shore]

One of the reasons I recommend green to new players is because it has the lowest barrier to entry skill and knowledge wise

[valid knoll]

You'd have to read the rules (or watch someone playing it, and infer from that)

[turbid rampart]

No, magic is literally the most expensive tcgs out there

[neon shore]

and then immediately built him a black blue control deck FUCK

[valid knoll]

Let's be fair here my dude, all the card games are super expensive

[stable quest]

Shit

[turbid rampart]

Like your 30th anniversary set was $300 of PROXIES

[stable quest]

Curse these alchemy cards 😭

[valid knoll]

They're the biggest cardboard selling schemes ever.

[neon shore]

I will not defend the price of this game, it's fucking bonkers.

[turbid rampart]

Digimon.

Digimon is cheap af

[valid knoll]

Is Digimon cheap?

It's probably because it's unpopular.

[turbid rampart]

Yes

[neon shore]

oh no

[turbid rampart]

Actually no its pretty popular

[stable quest]

Damn

Emrakul in there too

[neon shore]

WHAT

Damn that's rough

[valid knoll]

Pokemon cards are expensive. Baseball cards are expensive. MTG is expensive probably because you need very specific cards to have a functioning deck which means buying a lot of cards, but then you like, have the lands or whatever.

[stable quest]

Im still alive tho

[neon shore]

Pokemon TCG is even more so recently from those scalpers man

[stable quest]

Nvm

[neon shore]

Shit is rough

[stable quest]

Ggs tatyova 😔

[valid knoll]

Most card games have a high barrier to entry, Magic and Yugioh aren't special

[valid knoll]

This is what I'm saying!!

[neon shore]

Though tbf, I haven't collected seriously for that game in YEARS

I think last time I bought a Pokemon pack was last... July?

[valid knoll]

This alone gives me an encyclopedic understanding of your psyche and mind. I know you.

[turbid rampart]

Pokemon is expensive cus of an outside issue (scalpers)

wtf are baseball cards?

Mtg & yugioh are expensive cus top tier cards and decks are at high rarity

[neon shore]

Hello? How do you not know what baseball cards are?

What world are you living in?

[turbid rampart]

They are irrelevant

[valid knoll]

I bought one on Halloween because the cute Pikachus were wearing cute Halloween costumes. I opened them with my mom, it was fun. I don't usually buy cards.

[neon shore]

I'm in shock.

[valid knoll]

You are indeed what I thought.

[neon shore]

This is not a real conversation I'm having right now.

It simply can't be.

[turbid rampart]

Baseball isn’t a thing where I’m from

[neon shore]

Oh. Well that's fair I guess.

[valid knoll]

To be fair, they could be from a country that doesn't have baseball- yeah

[neon shore]

The answer is: Not the USA it would seem

[valid knoll]

(this was also my initial reaction)

[turbid rampart]

Or Japan

Japan likes baseball too

[valid knoll]

But yeah over here we've got cards for sportsball players, they have like stats and pictures of them and stuff.

[fast hearth]

where?

[valid knoll]

Legend has it that you can play them using the Pokemon TCG ruleset, but nobody can agree on what their attacks' energy costs are.

[valid knoll]

If they're from another country besides the US- probably there. It explains a lot.

[turbid rampart]

Quite a few places, US seems to be pretty big for it tho

Japan as well but that’s obvious

[neon shore]

I've literally never met someone who plays Digimon

Or has EVER brought it up in conversation.

[valid knoll]

I've never seen a Digimon card. Ever. And I'm a huge nerd, so I feel like it would have come up.
I know they exist! I've just... Never seen them.

[neon shore]

This too

[fast hearth]

i'm from brazil, i have a digimon deck, because the art is cool, but its like the TCG that no one plays here, even Dragonball and One Piece TCG have players here

[neon shore]

Not even at like, gaming stores.

[turbid rampart]

Well if Bandai didn’t release a garbage game of SHIT PIECE shortly after Digimon then it would do well

[neon shore]

Sure.

[valid knoll]

Oh hey yeah Dragonball TCG that was briefly a thing when I was in grade school, that's cool

[neon shore]

I actually do have a friend who has some One Piece cards.

[valid knoll]

Good on you collecting those! Maybe you could share some pictures of your favorite cards, I'd genuinely like to see them.

[turbid rampart]

Here

[neon shore]

Wow

[valid knoll]

You're going to have to be more specific, which Digimon game aee you badmouthing because that didn't narrow it down at all

[neon shore]

That is

A MESS

of design

[turbid rampart]

Ew

[valid knoll]

Oh no wonder that's radical

[turbid rampart]

Not bad mouthing Digimon, I’m bad mouth the OP TCG

[stable quest]

Vaccine??

[valid knoll]

Big swor!d! Spikeys everywhere! I dig it. Is it chaotic? Yes! Is it a good design? I'm not a character design artist! Is it cool? I think so!

[fast hearth]

they are back at my town, im only going back there next week, i only carry with me my ~~furry ~~ werewolf MTG decks

[neon shore]

Apparently it's also a light dragon

[valid knoll]

Oh okay. I hadn't heard of the one piece tcg at all.

[turbid rampart]

Yes, Digimon have 4 traits. Vaccine, Virus, Data and Free

[stable quest]

Oh

That makes more sense

[fast hearth]

they have great art

[stable quest]

I just realizes theres a dead person in the food token

[turbid rampart]

False. Nothing OP produces is great

Dog ahh franchise

[fast hearth]

ok....

[neon shore]

Alright sure.

I've never watched one piece, I have no opinions on it.

Except that it is too long lol

[fast hearth]

i dont even like the franchise, but i dont think the franchise is bad, nor the art

[turbid rampart]

My guy the art style is so bad, those eyes aren’t human

Fucking soulless ahh eyes

[turbid rampart]

How is it a mess?

[fast hearth]

i also like clamp style anime, i also like Baki, like jojo, like so many styles

[neon shore]

ooh, I disagree with the Baki pick

[fast hearth]

dont you like muscles on muscles

that have muscles

[turbid rampart]

If I wasn’t used to Jojo i probably wouldn’t like Baki’s art

[valid knoll]

I don't know whether One Piece is bad or not. I have a friend who's watched it but he won't tell me. But, I have gleaned that some of the recent seasons and arcs have been interesting or cool.

[stable quest]

Baki's pretty cool, i like the goofiness of it too

[turbid rampart]

You should watch Jojo’s if you haven’t alr

[neon shore]

The general information is in all four quadrants of the card, with the name being at the bottom (atypical for most games). The text is small & white on white background, with no bounding box to help read it. I get it's a full art, but that probably wasn't the best example to send.

[fast hearth]

makes even less sense then to complain about OP

[neon shore]

No actually, I don't find large muscles to be very attractive at all.

Or pleasing to look at.

[turbid rampart]

Oda simply can’t draw eyes

I also find it weird how much pissing there is in the show.

Probably not, all of the level 6’s are full arts, and they used to have borders for text on lower levels but ditched it from bt14 onwards

[stable quest]

Its on my radar, i still gotta finish severance

1K what? (Also here's the deck, I just wanna know how many are out of circulation.)

[soft geyser]

Let me tell you a funny story when I was a kid
Me and my brother used to own a hamster each I had 1 male hamster and my brother had 2 female hamster (who we named after the rugrats characters from the tv series) and one day I put both of them together in the same cage but seconds later they paused for 2 second then started a fight!
In my mind I thought placing 2 pets of the opposite gender means they are a match and will love each other in seconds

[turbid rampart]

Oh I’m talking irl, tho master duel is pretty much the same

[narrow prairie]

I am talking in real life, too

[turbid rampart]

Wdym out of circulation tho

At least 9,000 damage if I get 3 12-level monsters

By the way what did you mean by 1K? Cards? Money? Some kinda point-based reputation?

[turbid rampart]

Money

[narrow prairie]

Wait just for transportation or is that an entrance fee???

No its the price of the cards

[stable quest]

You know your device has a calculator right

[turbid rampart]

105

wait no its 500

[wooden stone]

How are neither of those correct

[fast hearth]

you can also use the address bar of your browser as a calculator

[wooden stone]

That has come in handy more times than I am willing to count

Also PEMDAS

[pallid ridge]

its 10

[wooden stone]

Do people forget how math works

[fast hearth]

yes

because they dont use it

[wooden stone]

But it literally isn't what

Not a single bit of division or subtraction is used

[wooden stone]

It rears it's fangs too often

[stable quest]

Lads

The answer is clearly indonesia

[pallid ridge]

oh oops i thought i put ➗not * my bad

[turbid rampart]

20 * 5 is 100

1 + 4 is 5

5 * 100 is 500

[stable quest]

Wait are you serious 💀

I thought you were joking 😭

[turbid rampart]

I am probably wrong, maths isn;t my strong suit

[turbid rampart]

I assume thats a differnt version of BIDMAS

[stable quest]

Lads, i may not have the answer, but i found out how to write my name in the calculator

[wooden stone]

Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction.

[wooden stone]

That is still wrong

[turbid rampart]

Ye where im from that BIDMAS

[turbid rampart]

Ye its 401

[stable quest]

Wait i thought you were making a joke answer, wth are these abbreviations

[wooden stone]

What do you mean

[stable quest]

Pemdas is an actual thing?

[wooden stone]

Yes

[stable quest]

Huh

[wooden stone]

It's the American Education System at It's finest

It's what I was taught all my years of school

Interesting isn't

[stable quest]

That's kind of interesting

Whats bidmas then

[patent turret]

The same thing

Pretty much

[wooden stone]

Just different wording

BODMAS/BIDMAS/PEMDAS

Those are the three super common ones

Although BODMAS is not as common

[turbid rampart]

Tbh ive never heard of PEMDAS

Only BID/BODMAS

[wooden stone]

Really that is very interesting

[turbid rampart]

Im also extremely bad at maths so idk why i bothered to answer

[wooden stone]

Lmao

[stable quest]

Im trying to think if i learned something like that in Arabic

[wooden stone]

Probably

[stable quest]

I mean like an abbreviation

[wooden stone]

Something adjacent I would imagine

[patent turret]

A level maths is pay 2 win tho

[fast hearth]

PEMDAS is also how we memorized in Brazil
or at least how some of us learned

[patent turret]

£100 ish (on average) for a fucking calculator ;-;

[wooden stone]

Neat

[stable quest]

Calculators are expensive here too

[wooden stone]

They will always be expensive

[stable quest]

But since we need one through highschool our school paid us to get one

[wooden stone]

Lucky

[stable quest]

Then i lost it right after graduating high-school and had to buy another one

[wooden stone]

Although I got a TI-84 CE for cheap

Like real cheap

[stable quest]

Is that one of those that can make graphes?

[wooden stone]

Yep

[stable quest]

Damn thats pretty cool

[wooden stone]

It's the best in the market rn

I can also put games on it too

[stable quest]

Oh you can code on it too?

[wooden stone]

My math teacher had some set to the side with games programmed on to them via a computer for those who got done early

[stable quest]

Lmao that sounds hilarious

[wooden stone]

It was great I was always on them

Since I finished my math homework really quickly

He was also the coding class teacher so it was par the course

[stable quest]

Ah

[wooden stone]

Yeah he was a cool teacher

[stable quest]

Lmao i go to youtube and this video immediately pops up

[wooden stone]

The phones always listen and read

[patent turret]

Lucky :/

[wooden stone]

I know right how fortunate

I got told I had to have a graphing calculator

Lucky the one I got still works

[stable quest]

To be fair it wasnt an advanced calculator

And the graph ones were banned iirc

[wooden stone]

Really why?

[stable quest]

Well the main exercise in our highschool finals is studying a function and one of the questions is draw the graph

So its kind of cheating ig?

[wooden stone]

Oh I see

[stable quest]

Plus knowing the graph of the function makes it way easier to know if you're right or wrong

[wooden stone]

That is very true

So there is a decent reason

[stable quest]

Yknow something im insecure about? I feel like every person from another country has studied so much more advanced stuff in highschool

[wooden stone]

Hmmm

Probably and Probably not

[turbid rampart]

Different countries have different curriculums

So not everyone covers the same material

[wooden stone]

Indeed

I was taking college classes in Highschool

Soo

[turbid rampart]

Especially for subjects like history

[wooden stone]

Especially History

[stable quest]

It makes me feel bad cuz it sounds like our stuff is so much easier yet we still struggle with it so much

[wooden stone]

Eh don't get too hung up on it

[stable quest]

Highschool finals are actually such a big thing here that they bring in the army to guard the schools

[turbid rampart]

Oh right I have to convert that my school system which is different

[wooden stone]

Woah that's cool but also intense

[turbid rampart]

Wild

[stable quest]

They kind of lame tho they dont bring any guns

[fast hearth]

yes and no, i mean people from Korea / Japan / China probaby yes as they are really harsh and serious regarding school. But generally it falls more on the teachers, i had some really amazing teachers

they need to make it interesting

[wooden stone]

This 1000%

[stable quest]

Fr

[wooden stone]

If teachers can't grasp a kids attention in the subject the less likely the kid is to pay any mind to it

Sometimes you need to do one on one or ask the student what they find interesting about the subject to truly get them invested

That's how I fell in love with engineering

Something about it I just can't put to words

Well that's enough about me

I have bowling to prep for

[stable quest]

Yeah thats enough school talk for me i gotta bully more children on arena

[wooden stone]

YEAH

I mean wait

NOOOO

[stable quest]

Lmao

[wooden stone]

Ehem anyways

[wooden stone]

Sigh no more switch games I guess

[unkempt heron]

Not to mention backwards compatibility with switch 1 games costs extra

[spice pivot]

bloodborne 2 for the switch 2 is just a hilarious concept to me

[unkempt heron]

[narrow prairie]

[stable quest]

God i hate this shit so much

All counterspell bs

[stable quest]

[neon shore]

TRUE

[cosmic loom]

£429 > cost of Switch 2 with mario kart
£4.70 > avg cost of 8 cans of apple tango
429 / 4.70 = 91 (rounded to 0dp)
91 x 8 = 728
for the cost of the switch 2 with mario kart u could get 728 cans of apple tango
reject nintendo, embrace apple tango

[void sundial]

Is apple tango good? I don't think I have that in my country

[cosmic loom]

i think it's really nice but obv taste buds are subjective, tbh i've never had a bad tango flavour i just picked the first one that came to mind

[dense wasp]

thats a big price difference right cause 429 pound would be 560 dollar

and in the us switch with mario kart is 499 dollar

[cosmic loom]

that's acc crazy

here's a screenshot from a bbc article abt it btw in case u wanted proof or anything

[dense wasp]

interesting

so guess brits would probaböly be better off buying it from a US site

tho i guess that would then also have shipping costs

[cosmic loom]

tbf with conversion and stuff tanking the shipping costs would probably still cost less than the actual uk retail price

assuming shipping isn't outrageous ofc if it's like thousands to ship that's a different thing

[dense wasp]

last thing i ordered with us shipping had 40 shipping and then another 80 tax after but im glad i found out there was an international version of the site so then shipping cost was only 14 but the item itself was more expensive but overall still saved around 30 euro

[cosmic loom]

yeah ig it just depends on your currency and where you are etc, i've never rlly had to bother with us shipping since they put a pokemon center in the uk to order off that website in the uk

[dense wasp]

ye dont have that here

This feels like actual bullying

Everyone one get it

[narrow prairie]

Dude was from the Australian Gold Rush, I swear. (Actually wasn’t that where you’d dip A plate into A river then lift it out and filter the yucky stuff and then take the gold with you?)

Maybe film studios should stop throwing everything they got all at once and rather take time to analyse why their most recent film was either A success or A failure…? Like, Quality Assurance, but for after the project is released to the public. Quality over quantity, Y’know?

[alpine marsh]

Hollywood actually think? Noooo

Now consume slop, consumer!

[unkempt heron]

It's gonna make a lot of money either way, so why bother make it good?

[surreal axle]

Bro what

[narrow prairie]

Because reputation is more important than money in the long run. Like, the kind of reputation where the community can unite to save the film studio from something that could bring ‘em down… Y’know, the kind of unity you see in good films, right?

[unkempt heron]

But won't you think of the poor shareholders?

[alpine marsh]

Consume slop, consumer

[narrow prairie]

The shareholders will profit, too. They’ll be easier to hold on to if the film studio can make A few bad ones but still have the reputation to keep fans going

[alpine marsh]

Not fast enough

[narrow prairie]

More community, more tickets, more tickets, more money, more money, more good movies, more good movies, more community.

It can become exponential real fast

[alpine marsh]

You are thinking too hard. Just consume the slop, consumer 🙂

[narrow prairie]

Nah, I’d watch FLOW

If FLOW gets elected for best voice actors do they technically get to bring pets to whatever award place is awarding the awards?

not sure pickaxes are in villager chests but you can just buy one from a toolsmith

gawd, that framerate

my busted 2000s dell laptop can run 2020 games better than this

ai-generate, more like, ai-regurgitated!

https://tenor.com/view/muppets-lol-laugh-gif-6117941

[fast hearth]

the point was never framerate or quality, but okay

🤷🏾‍♂️

[remote prairie]

and what was the point?

"hey, look! we re-invented the wheel but it's jank sluggish af!"

same spiel these shmucks have been throwing around for years now.

wake me up when these "a.i" can generate something actually original.

[stable quest]

Pfff i stole the opponent's sir konrad

And its against slimefoot and squee

[fast hearth]

what are they uslng as commander? or lts not brawl ?

[stable quest]

Slimefoot and squee

[unkempt heron]

I think the main reason people are so interested in AI generated games is that they will supposdely be "quality games" and ""Free of woke""

Like Elon Musk's game company

[stable quest]

And now i stole his broodlord 💀

Oh he must be getting pissed rn

[unkempt heron]

Same reason why some anime websites use AI subtitles instead of hand made ones. To avoid "woke localization" they prefer lower quality subtitles that don't make sense in context

[fast hearth]

what even one thing has to do with the other, thats such weird take

[unkempt heron]

Idk man

[fast hearth]

like makes no sense

[unkempt heron]

I'm not educated on the topic thats just the impression ive gotten

[fast hearth]

from where?

[unkempt heron]

Idk should I have sources

[fast hearth]

you're saying that Microsoft is investing in ai generation, for games, to fight woke?

[remote prairie]

[unkempt heron]

https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2025/02/18/elon-musk-is-serious-about-his-xai-video-game-studio/ this is from a quick google

"Reminded by a few, let’s say, Musk superfans on Twitter, Musk confirmed that he is still making an xAI game studio, saying “It’s got to be done. Make video games great again!” echoing an adapted Trump phrase as he’s done before."

"There’s a lot to unpack here about his motivations and how exactly this would work. All of this spawned from the idea that modern video games are too “woke,” in whatever classification that means, be it women or minority characters leading games, progressive messaging or even how attractive the women are in the games, a frequent complaint among anti-woke messengers."

[remote prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/kek-kekw-gif-19460731

[unkempt heron]

Microsoft probably do it to appease their shareholders or something but I think this is one of the reasons conservative tech bros are so invested in ai

[fast hearth]

he is making his own studio [which doesnt even exists and is pure speculation], but you're tagging along all other companies?

[stable quest]

Ah death by his own syr konrad, theres something poetic about this

[remote prairie]

gg ez 👏

[unkempt heron]

Yeah I'm not trying to say that's why Microsoft is doing it I'm just saying that might be one of the reasons people want to make AI generated games

[fast hearth]

its not

[remote prairie]

its all about the money

[stable quest]

Oh wth is happening here

[remote prairie]

ai talk

[stable quest]

Had to go find this

[remote prairie]

ya know what, good point

how about that stock market, eh?

[unkempt heron]

Man I was just trying to share what I thought of the topic idk why yall had to get mad at me for this

[remote prairie]

im not mad, homie. that was a hilarious take.

[unkempt heron]

Thats even worse

[remote prairie]

anything corpo does is for money. anything corpo uses to make money is just to cover the fact its all about the money and nothing else.

woke included.

[stable quest]

Man white needs more busted cards

[fast hearth]

no they dont

they have enough angels and hexproofing as it is

[stable quest]

I feel like every other color is better than white

[stable quest]

No im talking about ban worthy cards

Like mana drain dark ritual all the "i win because i drew this" type shit

I guess red doesnt have anything either but they deserve it

[jaunty igloo]

and with that 2-3 is beat. ima take a break from jfa for a bit to play other games but im excited for 2-4 whenever i play it

[primal python]

To be fair the entire stock market is tanking

[fast hearth]

they have being going down for a while, its not because of the whole tax war

[primal python]

Showing one company that isn’t falling doesn’t exact mean much

[fast hearth]

it also shows that ubisoft has been going down for way way longer

its not because of the market

[primal python]

Two things can be true at once

The market going down certainly isn’t helping

[fast hearth]

thats an excuse

they've digged their own hole for years

[primal python]

I’m not saying it’s the only reason but the market tanking is a factor to consider

Even companies like Nvidia have been going down lately

Same with Tesla, Apple, Microsoft, etc.

[fast hearth]

well, some companies aren't crashing/going down, as per the example showed, so the "marketing crashing" should not be used as excuse for none

[fast hearth]

and im not talking about them

i'm talking ubisoft

games

[primal python]

The S&P 500 is a collection of the top 500 biggest stocks and the overall trend is that they’ve been going down for a while

Obviously there may be a few companies that aren’t following this trend

But if the average of the 500 biggest stocks are all down, that means something bigger is going on

Perhaps a market correction

[fast hearth]

more like ubisoft has been faking profitting from their recent games, and pissed their shareholders as they were never informed about their deal with tencent

that has a way more weight then "blaming the market"

[primal python]

AC Shadows is a great game though. It’s a shame the stock is low but as they say, buy low sell high

I’m also telling people that right now is a good time to buy into crypto and major stocks cuz they’re almost all at yearly lows

[fast hearth]

great game for gamepass/ubisoft subscription [17 dollars], not a good game for 70 dollars

[primal python]

I actually paid $90 for the deluxe edition. 40 hours of playtime later and I’m still having a good time

[fast hearth]

good for you

[narrow prairie]

Don't worry, this is just the prototype build, the AI will have raytracing and have fully functional RTX Enhanced fingers

[primal python]

People are speculating GTA 6 could cost upwards of $100

Not even joking

[fast hearth]

so what?

[primal python]

So if u think Ubisoft is bad just wait till rockstar’s new release prices

[fast hearth]

have you not seeing anything this week? nintendo?

[primal python]

Those $80 price tags is merely speculation

[fast hearth]

oh you're one of those

i get it now

ok

[primal python]

There’s no official confirmation

Just allegations of prices

I’ll be happy to admit I’m wrong if they turn out to actually be $80

But I won’t judge the games on merely speculation price

[primal python]

I support triple A studios

The only big studio I’m not a fan of is maybe EA

@fast hearth will u get the Switch 2?

[fast hearth]

the price is listed as 80 [for digital], on their own nintendo shop site...

[primal python]

Maybe it’s a typo

[fast hearth]

LMAO, yea, im done

[primal python]

Ok that was a troll

But in all seriousness we could just wait a few months for the game to go on sale

That’s what a lot of people do for games

@fast hearth the thing is inflation has made it so goods cost more than they used to. I remember in the Wii U era, the idea of a game costing $50 was madness

[strong totem]

My boyfriend bought me the Journey Together ETB (a set I've been looking forward to for MONTHS) and look what i pulled

I think I'm going to cry i wanted the N's Zoroark EX SIR so bad...

[high marsh]

I like the articuno art, nice pulls

[valid knoll]

Those are very nice fullarts, props to your boyfriend for being very lucky

[naive gorge]

i wish i could find any journey together at all. i hate scalpers

:(

i live next to the atlanta target and its STILL impossible to get anything

i wanna open them so bad

[strong totem]

Yeah he had to buy it resold for $150 >_< I couldn't find any of it anywhere either, despite how hard i looked

[primal python]

Is it just me or had Pokémon card collecting become an unaffordable hobby

[flint iron]

At least in english yes

Switch to japanese

[naive gorge]

as someone who is casually into it, its rough. japanese / korean / chinese boosters are easy to get but still scalped a bit

japanese cards are high quality and feel nice to open at least :) and get guaranteed hits in the boxes

[strong totem]

It definitely has, i only got back into collecting cards when i saw this set was going to come out (if you couldn't tell, I'm a really big fan of N)

The whole ETB has N art all over it and on the sleeves, this is like a dream come true :)

[naive gorge]

hell yeah

[strong totem]

I'd show off all the stuff i collected related to N and Gen 5, but its kinda a lot so I won't :P

[alpine marsh]

Gotta love scalpers ruining hobbies

[wooden stone]

Always happens and it will continue no matter the hobby

[alpine marsh]

Yeah, unless there is some weird way to isolate and humanely eliminate scalpers, which is already a bizzare thing to say in of itself, they will remain

[wooden stone]

I think that's called Darwinism

One could only hope tho

[alpine marsh]

Sadly I think a lot of scalpers have kids so darwinism fails

[wooden stone]

Well do I have a product for you

Fire

That's it

Anyways

[alpine marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/i-have-made-fire-gif-19352626

[wooden stone]

Or in turn take a piece of their car that costs a lot to fix so they can't continue

[gleaming willow]

I would not eat that steak

[unkempt heron]

Cancer flavored steak

[narrow prairie]

Isn’t there A show called Hot Ones that basically does this?

Whatever happened to letting children buy a children’s card game

[astral dagger]

It was never for the children.

The cards belong to the strong and the wealthy.

[neon shore]

Yeah man, artificial inflation.

It's great.

[neon shore]

Just set up a Claymore mine behind the Pokemon boxes

[neon shore]

I was spending too much time in this channel anyways, that's my signal to leave.
