I'm stuck at the airport for the next 3 days cause they oversold on every flight to Japan the fucking nimrods. I have so much fury in my heart I'm staying offline so I don't go off on anybody by accident

15 hours and I'll be in Japan for 2 and a half weeks. Any spots like museums, parks, shops etc I should check out?

Honda carrying some real protag energy.

Japan got a new prime minister right before I fly over, lemme check what she's about so i can have a better pulse on the climate "She's a Xenophobic homophobic nationalist"

JP left movements have been pushing for wealth to be distributed from the rich in various ways. So "ability rich" from the right implies they should distribute their talents to everyone else which AI does by taking and molesting existing work. Very sick minded mental gymnastics going on over there

In Japan the hot topic right now is Sora AI and the people who support AI over there have suddenly coined the term "ability rich class" to all creatives against AI. It's a total mess right now

Trash taste slander reminds me of way back when I read fishman island in OP. I felt there was a clear parallel to civil rights, MLK, and X. I went online to see who felt similar and for the first time saw that there were parts of the anime community that was anti intellectual & low key racist

Watched a Zelda video from a Youtube peer and at the end he opens up about the YT changes killing his momentum. I usually don't really ask people to sub and support cause I let my videos speak for itself but it's getting really dire and I might just have to address the elephant in the room

Stuck inside my own personal hell.

also this

For the last month or 2 I've been on the Japanese side of YouTube specifically for YGO at first then other things. The reason why I'm able to lurk that side of YouTube is because of THE RAMPANT USE OF AI LMAO SHIT IS BLEAK

Sorry I'm doing a whole side quest to make a quick video on the new format. This is extremely important for me to do and I hope the video gets some vision to the bulk of the community (I'm uploading it to the second channel so this might be unlikely lol)

If the marketing, prize support and reprints is not stellar, this shit is not lasting more than a year at best

Looking into high rarity short prints, does this happen in other card games besides YGO? I'm having difficulty finding instances where it happens in MTG and Pokémon for even commons cause google will show me tons of threads and videos of YGO and sports cards short prints instead

I have a section going over pack ratios in early YGO for like 25 minutes. In the time of writing it didn't feel like it would be that long but I now see I have to use the games as a vehicle to teach people about the history of YGO/Konami beyond the games and TCG

Sets used to have fewer secrets so it was easier to get the one you want but during late gx they went from 2-3 secrets per set to 10-15 while also rarity bumping cards like crazy. Made cards extremely expensive from then on and YGO was infamous for being a rich man game ever since

Very depressing to see store owners plead with Julia and Kevin about TCG sets having abysmal design only for them to say "I will let Konami know" and not see anything change for the last 18 years since they asked

I'm looking at an old thread of people arguing with Kevin Tewart on why the set change was total dogshit...in 2007...YGO has been fucked for so long man

They use to make yugioh card art which makes me wonder what other big artist made art for konami back in the day

Very interesting to read 20 years ago that one of the owners of the biggest card shop chains in japan was gatekeeping yugioh because he felt like it was a disgrace to card games at the time lmao. The man is an infinite well of TCG history and I hope to have an interview with him one day

No twitter on the list says a lot about this country

Fire emblem whining reminds me we are suffering through the consequences of post SNES Nintendo home consoles barely having any RPG's with the result being most Nintendo personalities loathing them

!!NEW VIDEO!! This time I cover Chunsoft’s Sound Novel franchise, a hugely important series in the history of Japanese video games that served as the progenitor to the visual novel genre and was a source of inspiration for all kinds of developers. WATCH - www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9BT...

Last week's events made me not even say what I wanted to say about the Nintendo direct...Get ready for 10 years of remakes LMAO ggs I got no use complaining about it just gotta live with it and stay tapped into the indie and fan game space

The theory now is that ad blocked views do not count anymore. I don't think anyone was missing videos. They just might not count. Some people in the comments of this vid suspect this might be the case since most have loss a chunk of views from desktop users youtu.be/QGS_bBaC8WM

At a certain point, civility becomes code for "know your place." It's apparent it's acceptable to advocate for genocide or the repression of others if you wear a suit and are the "right" kind of person in their eyes. But anyone else? Calls for peace and demonstrations are somehow disavowed. (1/3)

Y'all really don't understand how lucky we are that E3 is the face of Edison, Imagine having a loser like the YGO commander guy being the face of it. It would have never taken off

Country is so cooked when it's mourning a man that said the passing of the civil rights act was a mistake and demands you to debate that

Nigga my discord DM's on fire holy shit

Killer7 is starting off extremely promising no wonder people ride or die for it

Recorded & Rated a set for a series I'm making for Patreon with a friend. Anybody I know who wants to be a special guest every now and then hit me up 🐟

Crazy how Ishowspeed used to be the worst kind of content a youtuber can make a few years back. Now I wish the average big youtuber was more like speeds content now, instead of the army of Asmon/Rev slop clones being manufactured daily

What's frustrating me about the restriction mode on YouTube is that it's not consistent at all. Right wing political channels still had the majority of their content. Go to any left wing channel and the feed is obliterated

first time I ever seen an OST be a top seller LMAO

Say what you want about Drake, but when it comes to his music you gotta admit nothing comes close to being as satisfying to press mute on.

Reading through Takahashi's interviews from 2000 and occasionally it low key feels like he wasn't much of a fan adults playing YGO. I wonder if he ever changed his mind about that...

Hearing trump might be at deaths door

Expecting analysis from sites like this and twitter instead of writing and/or making a video, we losin recipes dog

More remake discourse that doesn't go beyond the surface level, waiter please don't bring more

(PCDD) Ghost Trick & Ace Attorney & Mega Man 11 Game Bundle $35 via Humble Bundle. ow.ly/9ZBw50WNuJs

You hear people say "I don't want to play old game cause it's clunky, rough, aged etc." Often times I ignore it cause they say that for games like Resident Evil cause they can't handle tank controls. Let me assure you this is one is pure ASS LMAO WHO THE FUCK THOUGHT THAT CAMERA WAS OK #GBLmedia

Bro the person who wrote the guide to FF7 had to beat it in less than 30 days blind and it was in Japanese LMAOOOOO

Still going through. so crazy to me this is the first time anyone reached out to someone who worked with prima www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICzG...

Found a random podcast episode from this year having an interview with someone who made the prima guide for YGO FM. Gonna listen to this for the next hour and a half

I understand Ansem now...Nobodies in Kingdom hearts are equivalent to AI language models

Why is every subscription service 10$ plus now

Saying something moronic as "Normies don't even really care about narrative fiction" is completely stupid cause not only is that not true, why do you act as if that is exclusive to normal people?

Didn't know Sugimori saved my favorite Pokémon from being a neopet
