How about Raigeki? What does it do? Destroys all of the opponent's monsters. How much does it cost? Just the card itself. Sure, there's technically a counter to it called Raigeki Break, but before it existed, it could just do what it said. Blue Eyes White Dragon ain't shit to Black Hole or Raigeki. Seems like Yugi should have built a deck around these cards instead of drawing Exodia pieces.

Raigeki is fine as an idea, because most card games want an equalizer to let a player who is behind get back into the game, the issue is it came out early in the games lifespan and as such didn't have a resource cost beyond itself. The same goes for Pot of Greed which has seen a million reworks (or is it Retrains?) to make it more balanced and even then it's wonky. Yu-gi-oh didn't start off with a resource mechanic and then added tributes and had a hard cap in terms of how many cards you could play. Then it leaned into having even less of a resource cost by introducing more and more ways to play stuff in one turn, to the point the game broke, and now it has hard caps on how many times you can play a card in one turn.

Most of the people I know that like Yu-gi-oh are people who love combo decks in Magic, and that makes sense. Though really it's a game that's very interesting because of how it handles resources and mechanics when there really aren't any as other games would view it. That's why I've been so into learning the history of it recently, it's so different that it really brings a lot to game design.

I love yugioh

Tim's life is pretty boring, but we need to make our entertainment where we can. That being said, who is who in the Tim world?

I'd say Tim is probably Joey, he's the side character who is always angry that he's just some idiot but still does well in life. Rocco is the fucker with the bug deck, and Ra is probably the dinosaur guy I think was called Rex. Ben Shapiro is clearly Kaiba, with his sister Khazaar Mokuba that tends to steal the show.

Ian is Tristan, he's pleasantly retarded.

Cassandra Fairbanks is Mai. Best looking girl in the entire bunch, but sneaky and scheming as fuck. Emily is Tea. Theoretically the love interest, but isn't really.

Does Cassandra Fairbanks still work for Tim? He hasn't mentioned her in a while and at one point he mentioned all the time about being in the newsroom making great news, for great people like Tim Pool, who'll then read it as his sole source for the first 5 minutes.

She was there the 29th. Tim's probably hoping she fucks the whole castle besides him before firing her
Tough to do when you're hiring people all the time

Not fucking him is probably why he no longer mentions her, the beanie cult leader scorned.

Konami should of made a plan on how not to make cards that either to op or just outright broken. I don’t see people losing their shit over axis and allies.

They literally can't. Because they don't want to get rid of a lot of the old cards, people complain if they do, even if they make new cards that are way more restrictive and balanced, which they do, they can't see how that will mesh with things it, most of the time, was not intended to.

Add to the fact that in the community Broken or OP is just whatever is the best. Never does it bare any relation to if the card is way too powerful. Because the game has printed so many cards, there will be a counter to it. Even if it's obscure. I'd argue that's why we get the Banlists we do most of the time, players really do not like using specifically designed counters, of which there are many.

Yes and no. The reason stuff gets banned isn't usually because it's unbeatable but because it's meta warping, so sure, there may be an answer to it, but the question you have to ask is if the meta is devolving into "Deck A" and "Deck that beats Deck A" with the latter deck not being particularly consistent against other strategies while Deck A obliterates other strategies.

It's why Dredge tends to be so oppressive in Magic, there are tons of answers to it, but the problem is those answers don't do much against other decks, so you end up with all of them being in the sideboard and game 1 against Dredge is usually an auto loss, then game 2 and 3 are Dredge trying to pick up a second win. So in Vintage for example there's always this cycle of Dredge being the best deck, hated out, then returning again. The problem is that meta call is not based on anything besides if you happened to be the Dredge player in a room where people didn't prepare for it, or if you're a player who brought no Dredge hate and got lucky because no one showed up with Dredge.

Some people are fine with that meta and it's a thing that's just accepted in Vintage, but when every format is like that it gets old quick.

I haven't watched anything by Tim lately, not even Cast Castle which used to be fun but has just been people skating or just chickens lately.

And unlike the Lotus Eaters, he hasn't proven it's a good website that's worth going to on its own merits.

The problem is Tim doesn't even really explain what the site is when he plugs it. Alright, he uses it as a source so it's probably a news site but people watch Tim because they don't want to read, and maybe it has bonus content but Tim's already putting out a podcast each day, multiple videos of news segments, and things like Cast Castle. There's more than enough Tim for people and any guest I'd be interested has their own channel, so unless it's Alex Jones and Michael Malice paired specifically why would I go to the website as I can get more Malice and Jones on their own shows?

This is really the problem with Tim's thing, it's a one trick show and there aren't any products offered. He really needed to take the time to really make the website offer something more while people are willing to jump on it as he essentially has a golden opportunity to build a platform but he's just not doing much with it besides treading water. At least offer a mug or beanie with the subscription.

This is a lot like Nostalgia Chick being surprised her books didn't sell even though she has a lot of social media followers; people who watch a movie reviewer probably don't care about reading books. At least the Diversity & Comics guy made videos about comics and then wrote his own comics because there was an overlap.
Tim doesn't realize that he built his original audience on reading news articles and some basic commentary, because people have more important thing to do than read. Even his pop culture show there are other people already doing it. He should have stuck to his man on the ground thing he wanted to do and hired somebody specifically for that. Like not hire 5 people to pay two people to travel around and talk to regular Americans. That would be an original concept (sort of like how the people of NY became popular)

MTG players still get the rope

The Diversity and Comics guy made sense, he talked about comics and bashed how comics had shitty writing these days, and decided to make his own comic to fill the needs of an audience being neglected by modern comics. That's probably the most ideal situation as he complained about a problem and provided a solution for those who wanted it.

Tim did the same in theory but didn't understand why the audience liked him. His old content was basically the solution to the problem, as he was doing a news show that gave a quick overview and tried to remove some of the main stream spin. He'd probably been better off hiring a couple more news anchors for his site and just having more of his old style content by multiple presenters and categories. Instead he made a shittier Buzzfeed.

Even the original SCNR/Subverse idea was better than what he has now, as I remember some of the interviews they had back then were good, like the Daryl Davis one where he talks about Charlottesville and AntiFa.


It better be a nice rope at least.

How did we end up in a discussion on yu gi oh

Tim was sperging about how he thought Yu-gi-oh was dumb because he's an enlightened Magic player. Magic and Yu-Gi-Oh players united to call Tim gay.

For YGO I’d absolutely say it's the players are lazy and Konami does not want to deal with its own players.

Beanie Man mentioned he did not like it. And we let that distract us all for a second.

it was more interesting than whatever else Tim was saying.

has Beanie Man considered that the Court would likely not even be entertaining the idea enough for this to even come out if all Justices were not 100% on board.
This is not the kind of thing you take a partisan approach to.

Has he also considered it might have come out to energise the Left?

The most annoying thing about Tim's position on abortion is that he admits it's a human life being snuffed out. I don't care about fringe cases like rape and incest, I don't care that it "gets between a woman and her doctor". If you acknowledge it's a human life that baby's right to not be murdered vastly outweighs the woman's right to not carry the pregnancy to term and punishing murder is one of the few things legitimately within the government's purview.

But we all know this is Tim justifying his stance after the fact. In reality, he just wants an out in case he accidentally knocks up one of his groupies. His stance isn't "nuanced" it isn't "complicated" it's internally inconsistent.

Here's Tim's video on the Roe V. Wade leak.
