Pokemon's greatest masterpiece was released in America on this day... I'm gonna say, ten years ago?

can you even imagine spending dozens of hours of your life programming a dueling ai script so players can have something interactive to test against, then at the end of all of that you add maxx c to the deck

It's finally up--my vlog from Yu-Gi-Oh's 300th YCS in Richmond. An exhausting week of highs and lows, and new ways to enjoy this great game. It's given me a lot to think about. youtu.be/7Dln0O_AXtg

I apologize for how long it's taking to finish the YCS Richmond vlog! It's my biggest tournament vlog so far. Lots to juggle narratively that I'm trying to get just right.

reserving a special place in the shadow realm for the legions of online yugioh players who could be using any deck in the game, yet choose to play stall/burn

Every time I post a Mimighoul video, I lose another bunch of subscribers--more than when I post silly Nintendo stuff that has *nothing* to do with Yugioh. Y'all are weird.

Regional tomorrow, after last week's championship. Am I tired? Yes. Am I busy and injured? Yes. But I also just spent $200 on Yugioh cards for a video so I should try to get more use out of them.

what a missed opportunity

On the plane home from YCS Richmond I got seated next to a fellow duelist (and fan!). We could not shut up about our decks and our experiences. The flight really ...flew by 😎 Duelists, talk to each other! Yugioh is the greatest game ever made and it gives us all so many stories to bond over.

Another YCS, another few cosplays! I think we're gaining steam. It's a fun way to spread energy and smiles--just don't expect an easy win, or you'll be in for a rough match!

Who's helping me pack up the post-YCS mess? (That Dragonmaid mat is going to the highest bidder to finance my Branded addiction.)

@mbtyugioh.bsky.social Don't think I didn't notice you try to approach me at the YCS but turn away because I was already talking to... a random player's girlfriend about her heated lunchbox. You gotta work up the courage to do some networking at these events!

Have you ever felt the grip of despair until you've activated lunalight black sheep only to find that you left polymerization in the deck box

In recent years I have received no fewer incorrect judge calls than correct ones. Just saying.

In a ridiculous display of beginner's luck, I started my first IRL Domain Format duel by putting over 50,000 damage on the board. It's a silly multiplayer format run by people who really care about community (and who bring spare decks if you need one!) - @domain-yu-gi-oh.bsky.social

Reposted that as an actual thread 🙃 So it's an awkward 3-2-drop for Sapphire Surprise today. I hope I don't get the short end of the stick in some side events again! Then I'll try to get a game with the Domain Format crew, because they really love playing Yugioh!

*thread about Yugioh's time rules* A VSK9 opponent was angry that I kept pulling out new engines to play through his full board. Despite having no outs for my Towers bosses and no chance of winning the match, he stalled for 15 minutes to turn my 2-0 into a double loss.

2-2 at Richmond so far. When I'm not making fatal misplays or forgetting what engines I sided out, I've been making some really masterful plays. Please believe me.

I'm off to represent Crystal Beasts at YCS Richmond! If you see Jesse Anderson, say hi! (I am very tired.)

Eat your last pathetic card so I can end this, Yugi.

"Get a box of BPRO," they said. "You'll pull Albaz!" Wanna know how bad my pulls are? I just managed to pull ZERO BLUES out of a box of Betty Crocker food coloring that I bought specifically for the blue.

It's called Rainbow Bridge... it has a rainbow... it involves lv10 and field spells... It's not a Crystal Beast card. To be a Crystal Beast player is to know suffering.

Something has awakened in my brain and suddenly I can play piano and it's all I can think about. I'm sure it has nothing to do with procrastinating videos and prep for YCS Richmond.

I bought Retaliating C in starlight rare thinking the overdone foil would obscure the picture. Nope, it foils everything BUT the foot and now I'm gonna get distracted during matches when I'm supposed to be focusing on card games.

🥺 P-pwease don't use that Bubblebeam on my hot wittle tail! UwU 👉👈

We can make straight Miis!!! Huge news for all the heterosexual gamers who will finally be able to see people like them depicted in media. (I still don't want any heteros on my island, personally, but I support y'all doing your own thing.) www.nintendolife.com/news/2026/01...

Oh, that's different. Far from the worst snowstorm New England's seen in my lifetime, but strong wind! (I am SO tempted to open this window.)

Exclusive preview of what I'm cooking for tomorrow's yugioh video

I have an extremely strong opinion about people who play Paleo decks. I cannot fathom how the most grating and miserable deck in Yugioh's history is also, in my unfortunate Genesys experience, one of the most popular.

why do they call it side deck when you side in the cold card side out hot eat the card

Venusaur, buddy, you feeling okay?

My insomnia's back, and you know what that means! I am coming up with new Yugioh combos whether I want to or not.

If you like: - fantasy - or romance - or mysteries - or friends - or fashion - or battles - or princesses who never surrender - or warriors who talk about their feelings - or finding strength in beauty - or just sweet revenge Then you will love The Princess Knight, the best book I have ever read.

Playing Genesys Format as Takahashi intended, with four different kinds of sleeves on my main deck.

My Dogmatika Mimighouls discarded all of Joe's Gem-Knight fusions and his will to live, so today's baking project is a desperate attempt at a peace offering.

On Switch 2 I have finally experienced the legendary, magical world of Final Fantasy 7. Uh... I did not know Midgar would be so hilariously pedestrian! But the intro mission required killing a dog to progress, so putting this game down was easy.

Expectation: follow Mark to get updates on his YouTube videos Reality: Hey guys, I listened to the Pokemon Christmas album too much and they talk about Brock making Christmas cookies so I spent three hours making these. (The chocolate refused to melt until mixed with coconut oil.)

As someone aptly pointed-out on another platform: the Epstein files aren't filled with trans people. They're filled with wealthy, straight, white, cisgender men.

I did not fail to make a good batch of pumpkin bread. I succeeded in learning what happens if one increases the spices after cutting most of the sugar. (One or the other. Doing both made it dry and bitter. Yes, I added chocolate and caramel chips because the fascists can't stop me.)

This Republican just said something so horrible! Here, let me repost their hateful message in its entirety to ensure that it reaches as many people as possible. That'll teach them!

Just received the tragic news that She-Ra & the Princesses of Power is getting booted from Netflix 2/21/26, before I could hold down a boyfriend long enough to finish it. On the bright side, now those later seasons won't be able to gaslight me into thinking Catra is redeemable.

I learned about Fidough today. For the first time in a long time, I feel like maybe I will be okay.

I just played the climax of Super Mario Odyssey. After years of growing away from video games, Odyssey has shown me how wonderful and exciting they can be. What a masterpiece.

Dreamed that I heard of a new electric-type Pokemon called Pssmoist. I'm still very excited to meet it.

I appreciate the friends who have been trying to teach me to relax, indulge, and enjoy life like a normal person. Thanks to them, I have finally realized that actually I should work harder and be even more uptight.

Konami's official tournament policy was updated today. Any player who shuffles their opening hand on Duelingbook will now be launched into the sun. Competitive Yu-Gi-Oh is now saved.

Shoutout to all the furries out there! Y'all are eating good. (I'm ace but I'm 90% sure I know what this means.)
