People know exactly what a deck builder is, and that it’s what they mean by card based. You didn’t need to “um acksually” this. A lot of us are either sick of card/decks being shoved into everything pointlessly or never liked it to begin with.

Dumbasses in the comments talking about Lizzie’s “ancestors”. Motherfucker, it was her! She did this shit in her lifetime! She oversaw the mass executions of the Mau Mau Rebellion and the internment of a million Kenyans, the decapitations and scalpings of the Malayan Emergency, the massacres and oppression of The…

I'll celebrate her death on principle. Down with monarchs. And death to monarchys.

The whole energy vampire concept is the kind of weird out of left field thing that really elevates this show, for me 

“Like driving electric cars to avoid fossil fuels, without realizing much of the electricity powering the cars still comes from fossil fuels”

I still really love this show, but I feel the emphasis on season-long arcs it detrimental to the comedy. Season one had a very loose arc with The Baron and Vampiric council, but it wasn’t the main driver of the season. I feel WWDITS is better served with a more “monster of the week.” Format. 

It baffled me while playing Bloodborne, how a game that people kept telling me was designed around the need to “get good” was so unfriendly about letting you get back into the boss fight right away to keep practicing. Instead, a boss could kill you in a few moves, then you had to trek all the way back to try and learn…

A ..”what we do in the shadows” movie eh? I can’t believe no one’s thought of making one!

Having an option does not make a game worse.  That’s gatekeeping.  You’re saying that if someone can’t keep up with the difficulty YOU are comfortable with, they shouldn’t be allowed to play the game.  Other people having the choice to lower or raise difficulty has no effect what so ever on the difficulty you play on.

are you ever not a complete choad

That certain users kept concern trolling about “WHERE IS THE MIKE FAHEY ARTICLE” was annoying and completely insensitive. When a loved one dies, your first instinct isn’t to go and immediately write about it. You take the time to gather your thoughts and the thoughts of those closest to the person to make sure you get…

Every time I deal with a spider I think about the copy of Plants vs Zombies that ended up stuck on Fahey’s office ceiling and wonder if it’s still there.

This might be the most constructive criticism I’ve ever heard for SWSH. Bravo for focusing on actionable & specific development values instead of just National Dex and trees.

Alolan forms bringing in new regional variants should definitely be the “best” of that gen. Or no longer needing HMs proper and having pokemon taxi services do that feature.

Random thoughts

RB: The worst part of RB was absolutely the fact that the games did not function as they were supposed to. Ghost moves not working on psychic, critical hits being based on speed, crit rate going down after using Focus Energy, etc.

GSC: level scaling wasnt great, but it wasnt a dealbreaker.…

You can easily play through the whole game without using the items, so you’re not missing on much; that is, from a main game perspective, and not from a competitive/multiplayer perspective.

Wait, what!? I LOVE Alolan forms, ESPECIALLY Vulpix/Ninetails! And Litten as the best starter? Nope.

Yeah regional forms are absolutely one of the best decisions they ever did, full stop.

Honestly wild to see someone call regional forms, the best thing they ever added to these games, bad. What the hell Ari.

I don’t want to come off as condescending, but the trick to catching the Gold/Silver legendaries wasn’t especially difficult for me to figure out as a kid - the Pokedex shows you where each one is right then, so just stand at the barrier between two routes, going back and forth and checking the Pokedex until they were…
