Everyone’s freaking out over Snake-Eyes in Duel Links. Meanwhile, me: #yugioh #duellinks

Crosskeys is a race mode that demands a lot of skill checks from the player, and it doesn’t matter how well you solve the 17 puzzles before it, if you stumble on any piece of the puzzle, you lose. #alttp #alttpr

had to dig into the meme archive for this one

“When you try to caffeinate yourself and just end up increasing your heart rate with no changes in exhaustion” followed by a picture of a skull with lit eyes and a skeleton with trailing motion blur.

Spoiler: google led me to the tutorial page on discord’s developer portal that I already read and was lost on.

Slight Yu-Gi-Oh annoyance. I’ve been running Dragonmaid recently in all formats. I play Khaos Starsource Dragon as a removal option. Its initial text in ROTA is missing one important word that later printings (and Master Duel) have on it. See if you can spot the difference. #yugioh

If this card is Fusion Summoned: You can target cards your opponent controls, up to the number of LIGHT and DARK monsters used as this card's material; destroy them. If this card is banished: You can target 1 Level 4 LIGHT or DARK Dragon monster you control; its Level becomes 8. You can only use each effect of "Khaos Starsource Dragon" once per turn.

Re: bonus round statement. Richard Garfield has an interesting analysis with “innovators” and “honers” (deck builders vs tournament players) The article is in the context of tournaments vs ladder play but it’s still a good insight. www.gamedeveloper.com/game-platfor...

Are ladders the best way to choose out champions?

It is actually not even clear that the top players on a ladder are the best. I am sure that sometimes they are, but often the top echelon of a competitive ladder is filled with a group think and adherence to whatever is perceived as the top level metagame. A long time ago I divided players into innovators and honers. Innovators wanted to find new strategies in games, while honers would take those strategies and squeeze all the value out of them. The deal was that innovators would come up with something new and surprising and do well with it. In the long run, the honers were always the champions, but their reign was broken up by innovation. Of course in practice most players are a mix, and there are occasional champions who arise who do both very well – but that was the pattern in a lot of games as I saw it.

Opened a random Master Duel replay for my dailies, wasn’t really paying attention, looked down and saw this field. I have no idea how we got here.

From Facebook memories. This was a good meme format.

Facebook post from Crazdgamer, April 9 2023

me: activate Branded Fusion
opp: chain Ash
me: You cheated not only the game but yourself. You didn't grow. You didn't improve. You took a shortcut and gained nothing. You experienced a hollow victory. Nothing was risked and nothing was gained. It's sad that you don't know the difference.

I would come back in a second if the Sorry emote came back (I would also leave right after, but I’d at least show up)

Screenshot of Hearthstone’s 4.1.26 patch notes. The important part of the image is the “news” that they’re bringing back the Sorry emote for one day.

Judge, I have demonstrated a loop

Another partial transcript of my chat with HP's chat support AI Sage. Here, it asks me to connect the docking station to the laptop, check if the laptop detects it, check for updated graphics drivers, then asks to connect the docking station to the laptop again using the same instructions as it did previously.

After 15 minutes of troubleshooting, HP's tech support AI hit me with this and I almost lost it

A partial transcript of a chat conversation is HP's tech support AI Sage. Long story short, it asked me to unplug something that was already unplugged (because it asked me to unplug it and didn't tell me to plug it back in)

Computer opponent controls A Legendary Ocean. I’m playing Swordsoul, and the Swordsoul Token has 200 ATK due to A Legendary Ocean. It and Ruddy Rose Dragon is exact lethal. And that’s neat. #yugioh #duellinks
