video games are about taking turns and selecting options from a menu

this is what it feels like to cast fire on an enemy that is weak to fire

reinstalled master duel huh

worse? better? i'm playing fucking nightmare troubadour

I was going to say "well at least its not an evil predatory exploitation game like master duel" then i remembered that all those old yugioh videgames had exclusive rare cards as pack-ins so uh, jury's out

the actual funny thing is its insane yu gi oh survived long enough to even become konami's evil playground this is 2004 and the game is NOT finished. goat format found dead

to be fair a lot of people were dumb babies at the time but even like in japan before global the game was so popular konami caused a riot at tokyo dome when they tried to exclusively stock exodia there. the earliest JP card metas were shockingly simple but it had its hooks in

the exodia tokyo dome riot is a top ten konami moment its so fucking funny. especially with how the tcg players have completely understandably always seen the ocg as a promised land where things are affordable and normal

especially villainous too because iirc each set had one piece of exodia in it leading up to the event so the reasonable assumption would be "oh you get the exodia head card in the next set" but no, you get a concussion instead

theres this one youtuber who many years ago made an incomplete series about the history of japanese tcgs and its probably the most detailed account available in english but his opinion was the riot told konami they could basically get away with insane greed if they wanted, explains a lot of shit imo

i THINK i've watched those videos. good shit
