fuck yes. Ages and Seasons were always a couple of my favorite games.

I am aware of their weaknesses. I also fully understand how they work. We eventually opted to stop playing with EXes because we weren’t having fun WITH them. They just threw the balance off too much. The difficulty of building a decent defense against an opponent using EX is way higher than the difficulty of actually…

They picked the worst possible way to ‘save’ it. They’re basically surviving financially entirely on people buying EX/Break/Legendary boxes and shit.

I’m also including the current sets in that assessment. The overall balance is fucked so bad. I watched some tournament footage a few months back and literally everyone was using pretty much the same cards and strats, and basically nobody uses anything but EX cards. I’m generalizing, but it’s pretty much like that.

hm, dunno. I hadn’t heard about it, but I hadn’t followed it so closely either.

I also learned that the hard way. Tried playing against a friend, using gold/silver era cards, while he was using a brand new prebuilt deck... got absolutely wrecked.

Still pretty annoyed that all of my old cards are now basically useless.

That seems to be what this is. Since the old cards don’t stand a shadow of a chance against any of the newer shit thanks to extreme levels of power creep, they had to beef them up to keep them relevant.

This game was basically ruined by EX cards and other OP nonsense. This just looks like them finally acknowledging that.

But there are also marketplaces other than steam (e.g. indiegala, humble store, etc.) where you can buy games in the form of steam keys. I just bought Neptunia VII from indiegala yesterday, and this system ensures that any review I give will not count toward that game’s score, which is not an idea that makes me…

definitely not the case. There are games that let you switch between first- and third-person views, and they almost always play and feel better in first-person. That said, there are times when third-person is useful to have, since it lets you hide around obstacles and still have a view of the battlefield. This became…

I might be slightly biased here, but I don’t think there’s anything really wrong with being socially awkward in general, nor with aversions to sexual activity. I’m against being openly and unreasonably hostile, certainly. But I would definitely count myself among the ‘socially awkward’ group who finds those kinds of…

Yeah, getting pissed at someone who doesn’t want to entertain your advances is pretty shitty. I never understood that.

I forgot to add to my previous reply;

Oh, I think I agree there. I was mainly just responding to the statistic, not necessarily that particular measure. When I said ‘government-enforced’, I kinda had in my head any means that made people less sexually active *against their will*, but anti-procreation laws were the big thing that came to mind (was it China…

I figure it just depends on what social circles you tend to run with. The type of person who’s into vocaloid stuff doesn’t likely flow with more ‘normal’ society to begin with, and isn’t likely going to be in the position for that.

A couple separate thoughts here that don’t necessarily have much to do with the point you’re making.

I’m not even into overwatch, but have a star for the clever pun.

Last time I tried something similar, all I got was “who are you?” and “why are you in my hotel room?”. Also, I didn’t know virtual idols could punch so hard. I’m starting to get the distinct feeling that the Mikus I keep seeing at these conventions are not actually virtual.

Never been a fan of the homing attack, but I like most of what I’m seeing here. Might give it a shot.
