  • I haven’t played it much because I didn’t get that far but I did watch some gameplay and it’s basically the paper game but with guardrails so you can’t do illegal stuff. Supposedly it’s also possible to build meta decks as a free to play player if you use your free currency well.

    Legacy of the duelist might be a better choice to jump into on PC because its single player even though its a bit older.


  • It’s almost impossible to break into yugioh at this point. The people playing it today are mostly the same people who kept playing it since childhood. The powercreep is so bad that it’s all a sequence of different “archetype” decks that do their own specific thing and if you’re not familiar with each one, you’re gonna have to do a lot of reading either on the spot (great gameplay experience) or get a master’s degree in yugioh on your own time.

    Card text length, phrasing, esoteric rulings etc all make it very inaccessible unless you’re willing to devote a lot of time to the game. I came to the conclusion that’s it’s not worth it for me right now but you could try playing some of the older video games to gradually learn the new mechanics and cards and then spend time in Master Duel if you’re willing to put in the time.



  • Sure, framing it as mandatory wholesale support for x,y,z is disengenuous the same way it would be to call someone who is not vehemently against the United States as a concept in its entirety a bigot due to their current persecution of racial and LGBT minorities. Multiple things can be true at once but when you zero in on specific injustices that nearly the entire world exhibited just 2 decades ago and apply the same standard to people experiencing very different conditions (for example, people who have only known conflict for their entire lives and have not had the same opportunities that rich, safe countries have had) then it comes off as dishonest or at the very least just very myopic and ill informed. Should those injustices be criticized: yes. Are the people pointing out the perceived hypocracy doing it because they genuinely care about LGBT people impacted in those countries: no. I don’t agree with all perspectives expressed in the other direction but I understand why they exist when we exist in a space where certain people are painted with broad strokes while others are afforded infinite nuance in their positions.





  • 2 things to note: They want to deport him to Syria or Algeria and not to El Salvador so hopefully he remains free at least.

    The judge making this assessment is part of the executive branch and not a federal judge and made it on very literal terms (spineless and ethically bankrupt but not the final decision). Secretary of state said hes is a threat to US foreign policy in writing therefore he can be deported as the law states that he can be deported if the secretary of state says he is a threat to US foreign policy.







  • It refers to either a limited time reward structure where you pay for the ability to earn rewards such as cosmetics or other perks in multiplayer games such Fortnite and Valorant (If you don’t earn the needed XP within the designated timeframe then you may not even get those rewards you paid for) or access to DLC content in general for both single and multiplayer games where some functionality/maps/modes are gated behind a single or recurring payment.
