I have like multiple full sets of Illuminati: New World Order, which I have managed to convince other people to play with me like twice, that I obtained solely by paying five bucks for a box full of unsold card packs from my local card place. Also some Christian-themed card game that I can't even get someone to play with me for a lark.

thetoughestbean posted:The rules have become ridiculously obtuse and hard to penetrate over time but there’s always something worse. Always. A New Hope: Event cards for blowing up planets or the Death Star, and creature card type for critters like Wampas, which play like normal character cards but have their own “habitat” and “AI” to determine movement and attack Hoth: Had “shield generator rules” when the titular card was out. The card literally says “‘Hoth Energy Shields Rules’” in effect” and nothing else. Also had new rules for interior vs exterior playing of locations. Dagobah: Jedi Tests, as series of tests to take any character from neophyte to Jedi Knight, complete with rules for the mentor, location, and how to pass the test. Introduced Jedi Master with Yoda, which isn’t super complicated (they generate more of the game’s resource) but isn’t explained on the card. Rules for the Executor, a ship so large it needed rules for its own location cards. Rules for Dagobah and travel as it was so far away. Rules for nee “sector” space locations such as asteroid fields which have their own rules. Rules for attaching parasitic creatures like mynocks to characters and a rule for Landing Claw, a SINGLE CARD ONLY AVAILABLE TO THE LIGHT SIDE. I’m not loving done yet: TIE bomber rules, site restrictions, Dagobah was insane. Cloud City: Needed special rules for deploying “Clouds” which were basically sectors but not in space so literally Cloud Cars can travel through them. New rules for capturing enemy characters to facilitate bounty hunting, including escorting and carbonite freezing. Dedicated rules for Lando since he was the first unique character both Dark and Light sides had access. On top of that crossing over rules for when a character changes sides (mainly for when the Dark Side wins the Luke/Vader Duel card). A goddamn rule for Sabbac, space poker, and no the card does not just tell you how to play but just the parameters for poo poo like wild cards. Jabba’s Palace: i swear I am almost done. Remember those exterior/interior rules in Hoth? gently caress those, because Jabba’s Palace needs special rules for his hideout. Rules for cards that were not unique but could only have X copies in play at once. Battlegrounds, a new location subtype applied to all prior locations where applicable. Starting Interrupt rules. And my favorite: a rule for determining the gender of your characters, which is determined by not just the rules text of the character, but also the card’s flavor text, title, and image and lore. Cards otherwise defaulted to male, because of loving course, but I think you could have a lot of fun arguing a rat alien is a woman or a named Jawa is non-binary because of a canon episode of the Bad Batch or whatever. The next set, Special Edition, finally organized and condensed it all into a thick booklet included in the starter sets. And given this is the 90s, a lot of people didn’t have the internet or even a printer, so this was a very popular set for that booklet alone. You know, until the next set came along. I still somehow have the booklet despite it being older than perhaps some of you posting in here. It is 144 pages long.

The original manga was about a different game every week. When they tried the card game someone realized it had potential, and the whole thing was rebooted to being strictly about the cards. After the original series ended he was set for life afterwards and could just act as a consultant for the franchise afterwards. Nobody did give a poo poo about that Dice Dungeon game they tried in one episode, huh?

I mean they are printing cards from that game into YGO now, so it made some impact.  I also wish he could have had his fun with all of his creative games, but I dont mind the shift towards just Duel Monsters. Series zero was a bad adaptation though.

I somehow fell into a hole watching a two hour video on the early Yu-Gi-Oh metagame. https://youtu.be/ZP61wUYPs_M There's just something fascinating about the fanbase manage to create strategy out of a hastily cobbled together mess where most of the cards are completely useless even in the first set.

Yeah, that was his CCG channel that he spun up when he was banned from Magic for harassing a cosplayer. I always like this story because somebody at WotC on the ball decided to also ban his Magic On-line account so he was out several hundred dollars.

Go to your history. You can delete the video there. (If you're on desktop you have to wait a little for the delete button to appear for some reason. Or maybe that's an interaction with my adblocker IDK. No idea how mobile works.)

You can kind of tell in the manga when the card game actually became a real thing because all of a sudden there are rules.

I haven't paid any attention to youtube's "shorts" thing (I actually installed a plugin to force all shorts to play like a normal youtube video) so my assumption was youtube just wanting to bite into tiktok's thing. I guess it was also an excuse to try and rip off creators. https://twitter.com/ProZD/status/1545170394935463936 and that it's not even voluntary, it just auto turned vertical videos into shorts https://twitter.com/ProZD/status/1545171334744772608

Danny Gonzalez pointed out in a recent video that numbers on Shorts are completely bizarre. Like hundreds of million views on videos with like 90 comments.

muscles like this! posted:Danny Gonzalez pointed out in a recent video that numbers on Shorts are completely bizarre. Like hundreds of million views on videos with like 90 comments. Probably because when a Short is playing the UI automatically changes to a completely different, completely dogshit one. On the extremely rare occasion I attempt to view a youtube short on mobile I have a hell of a time getting the thing to even play, let alone interact with it in any other way. It's like... Step 1: Click youtube short Step 2: Stare vacantly at thumbnail of video which is not the one you clicked on for a few seconds Step 3: Realize whatever code they implemented to make it automatically play the next video after the first one ended is busted and it skipped the video you actually wanted to watch Step 4: Look for a button to go back to the video you clicked on, then use your browser's back button when you figure out there isn't one Step 5: Scan the frozen video thumbnail, looking for how to make it actually play Step 6: Click the tiny play button which is inexplicably in the upper left corner of the video So yeah, I can see why people aren't putting in the additional effort to leave a comment.
