Joshmo posted:Probably half my characters are women in WoW, and while leveling one, there was a particularly memorable moment when a guy also playing as women starts flirting with me, so I played along because Violet Citadel is boring and I'm not retarded, but then he whispered me (to take things further, I guess?) and was disappointed that I'm not actually a woman in real life. Like, what exactly are guys expecting here? "Where the men are men, the women are men, the children are FBI agents and the FBI agents are children."

The Vosgian Beast posted:My favorite thing about Gamergate was how basically every pro-GG pundit had previously dissed gamers as permavirgin basement dwelling nerds who didn't live up to the standards of masculinity set by Our Esteemed Forefathers, but then instantly did a 1-80 once they realized they could exploit said demographic for attacks on political enemies and money. I know one or two otherwise decent people who got taken hook line and sinker by this stuff and it's exactly like seeing someone who's fallen for a MLM scheme or something, they honestly believe these people are on their side and doing something important to save video games from a weird conspiracy. These aren't people with blatant alt-right (etc) tendencies normally but they're just so politically unaware they can't see that they're being used as tools to further an agenda that really has nothing to do with the quality of video games

That's an actual thing though and despite me hating YGO good on them for making money off it Like, once you accept that there's a secondary market for trading cards and also that YGO is a badly designed and broken game it's p easy to accept that yes some of the best (most broken) cards are very expensive It's basically a function of both rarity and how much it sees play

Joshmo posted:I'm good at this game, let's have sex. I feel like this is a more subtle version of the crappy player. I think it's more akin to "I'm having a good time just playing this, so my self-worth isn't hinging on other players having a worse time than me. I have no reason to try to make anyone on this server feel bad."

Like how more powerful cards are more expensive the companies who make them don't set the prices on the cards, i hope this explains what i mean by secondary market also if you think better cards get less expensive in later sets boy are you in for a surprise edit also rarity plays into it

Like YGO doesn't make Blue Eyes White Dragons anymore? Edit: didn't see your edit

Twerkteam Pizza posted:I don't really play card games so I wouldn't know ok so i'm literally about to explain how fuckin TCGs and the secondary market work, jesus christ let's use magic as an example, because it's the first, the oldest, and the most successful wizards of the coast puts out a set of magic cards. let's call that set Herp. Herp goes on sale on August 12th. they print Herp for approximately 12-18 months. all the cards in set Herp that will ever exist exist at the end of that stretch of time. people buy packs of Herp. they open those packs and get cards. some of those cards are better or more rare than others, often they are both. there is a secondary market, independent from the game's publisher (in this case wotc), in these cards. many stores will sell them for prices higher than a single booster pack. this price is based on, literally, supply and demand. if a rare card is seeing a lot of play in tournaments, its worth more money than the 18th reprinting of Giant Growth (giant growth is the card that has appeared in the most sets of magic) the important thing to get here is publishers don't sell individual cards. it's a market driven almost entirely by the people who play the game, and demand has a huge influence on price

They're not even good cards really, the dude was clearly preying on kids/teenagers who saw the anime and how loving cool they were.

That's hardly unique to Yu-Gi-Oh, that's just gaming culture in general.

I'm generally on the "any games for any adults" train but I can't imagine a grown rear end man being into Yu-Gi-Oh, it's incredibly poorly designed and set up entirely to appeal to young teenagers and kids.
