I have no idea who those guys are but I looked them up and they're promoting "Waifu Cups" from Gamer Supps and that's sure a repellent chain of words.

The thing that gets me about the "b-but the WORLD BUILDING" arguments is that even if Horrible Fetish Story has good world building or whatever, so loving what? It's the easiest thing in the world to find a piece of fiction that's hot garbage with a few cool ideas within.

If I'm going to rec an anime with cool worldbuilding that's also a mess I'm going to rec The Twelve Kingdoms. Which is not a mess because it is a horny show (it's a very normal Inuyasha-era isekai.) It's a mess because you can tell it had basically no budget to animate big sequences and a lot of smaller details are lost in scenes or wonkily edited, someone involved must have decided the world and politics laid out were too complicated so we need multiple recap episodes, the anime has to struggle to reframe a few light novel stories that were presented from different POVs as all being presented to one character, and then the anime trails off because the light novels weren't (and still aren't) finished so the anime suddenly ends on dangling plot threads because it had nothing else to adapt.

It's still an interesting anime when it's hitting right, but sad the story stalled out.

I feel like these people are saying a lot more about the things they choose to watch than the state of anime.

out of all the weird ygo rules, for some reason the one that makes MTG players reliably go feral is that you can't activate search cards without a valid target. if you "fail to find" you get a minor penalty and have to retract the activation


for some reason people get extremely angry when they hear about this

It seems a little silly. What’s the reason there’s a penalty?

Met a couple in uni and one at a local ttrpg group a few years back (he wasn't invited back to any tables). Some of them before aforementioned Gigguk quote became a thing but they were still very much of a type.

they say regulations are written in blood, which makes me extremely interested in the yugioh fandom wiki's sole two examples of procedural errors that will cause you to instantly lose the match:
  • A player spills water on their Deck and damages their cards, which makes it impossible to finish the current Match.
  • A player loses their Deck in between Matches and does not notify the scorekeeper until after the round has already been paired.

Chef James gets so appalled by Jamie Oliver's dish that his English accent comes back. He's a fun watch despite the cringey video thumbnails because he does know what he's talking about with cooking.

The gameplay reason probably is because there is no explicit resource system, so the "costs" of cards tend to be actions you perform.

with good deckbuilding you can set things up so these costs can benefit you, like running a discard engine with cards that have a "discard one card from your hand" cost. however at the same time they probably don't want people to generically pay activation costs on cards without the deckbuilding cost of having to run a legal target.

Mtg players are dirty and underhanded gamers that love to use fake searches to shuffle away bad cards after getting to see the top cards of their library

But in general mtg has so many weird advantages that arise from angle-shooting the rules as they are written exactly that I can see a clause that guarantees you do something only the intended way upsetting them

Too many people took the sentiment of "don't be embarrassed by your interests" to actually mean "uncritically accept all media and overlook any questionable elements". The point was that nerdy interests are fine, not that you should be proud of loving creepy poo poo!

but even larger is his heart and determination. he cries, and his friends cry, and even those that betray him cry, because they're all fighting and scraping and clawing their way towards survival, against the greatest odds!! these men aren't afraid to cry and let their emotions out, to show fear and vulnerability! the system is rigged against them but they will fight with everything they have!!!
