CROSSPOSTING THE THREAD! Today we're talking about decks that were way better than they looked - and already looked good. I'll start with AGOV Unchained. It was SO good, even mid players could consistently win with it. But if you played someone GOOD on the deck - god. It was unwinnable.

current "speed camera" discourse is highlighting one of the underlying frictions in blueskyery: the superficial, sloganeering desire to oppose the state and the expansion of surveillance, and the deep-seated desire to be a good little boy who follows all the rules

sliced my fuckin finger open making chicken slop for the baby so im expecting to wake up tomorrow either with some sort of chicken-based superpower or dead

man one thing that really eats me up is when an artist i follow starts becoming more infrequent with posts because their job got harder or money’s tight. its silly and childish but i just really wish everyone could create as much as they wanted

CROSSPOSTING THE THREAD! Today I want to talk about banned cards - specifically, the WORST cards that have ever appeared on the list. I don't want ones with cute little implications - I want LOW-POWERED CARDS that randomly ended up hit for power-level reasons. I'll begin with a classic:

CROSSPOSTING THE THREAD! Today, I want to help Konami out. As decks get more and more desperate for floodgates (thanks, Protectcode), we've learned DOZENS of cards were ticking time bombs waiting to floodgate a format. What cards are just ONE enabler away from annoying?

Just tossed up another episode of YGO VRAINS abridged! I always have a blast making these - I get to write 2007-style quips and make all my friends do free voicework. It really reminds me of the scrappiness of early-YT and why I like making videos here at all!

gonna talk about it briefly onstream tonight (during yap session) but i've seen some of the streamer university stuff and it's really really disheartening LOL just like the uh... STYLE of streamer that's looking to "make it" in 2026 is so much different than a decade+ ago in a bunch of bad ways

dude i had so much fucking fun at the nagc. was absolutely floored by the turnout, SO HAPPY that people are giving genesys a try, thrilled with my own performance and the performance of the testing server... AUGH! I LOVE YUGIOH!

meet the 2026 progressive class: -squeaky clean bodybuilder who does campaign videos to taylor swift -zillenial mayor who encourages ny to get out there and have a great time! -da raping nazi (sponsored by blackwater)

XPOSTING THE THREAD! Fine - I'll do one of the requested threads! Today, we're talking about ALT ARTS. Often, YGO will upgrade a card with an awesome new look. But sometimes, they, uh... just make you want to sleeve up the old copy. What are this game's worst alt arts?

idk if its just my algo, but there's like. SOOOO much more AI on this website than there is on twitter. like by an order of magnitude (often just uncritically made or hoisted by lib boomers)

deltarune "discourse" has really made me realize that the way we think and talk about any media at all is totally monstrous the impulse to reduce a story down to a bunch of checkmarks and wiki pages is bad enough, evaluating the strength of a story based on SHIPPING CHARTS is unreal "fandom," man

CROSSPOSTING THE THREAD! Today I want to talk about THAT Duelist at your locals - the one who’s always talking about how the META SHEEP ruined this game… right before they drop the most heinous floodgate in the history of time. What decks - or cards - SCREAM that person?

In case you missed it, earlier this month I escaped through a wormhole back into 2007 and did the only two things GUARANTEED to make me rich: I bought a subprime mortgage and started an Abridged Series.

CRAZY COOL NEWS! I've been working with @elestrals.bsky.social to put together some beginner bundles with my favorite Elestrals products ever for people who want to get in but don't know how... AND they let me design my own custom card you can get as a part of the bundles!
