Current Sanji list. The deck is basically set sans 1 or 2 cards that come in and out based on mood.

Went to 2/2/2 Split Culverin/God Thread/Red Roc.

Judgment of Hells turned into Slow-Slow Beams for better Mana Efficiency.

8 to 7 2ks. Kaya to Uso-Hachi.

The rest, I believe, is the same.

Big fan of Z-As ranked battle mode. Lot of fun and has a nice tactical depth to it while maintaining enough variance that you aren't absolutely cooked if you just hop in. I know people were mad about playing ranked for mega stones, but I had a hoot and got the Geninja one in about an hour

USA! USA! USA!

Genuinely though, three great days of games with a lot of really good players from all over. Altered is 10/10, and I'm glad to see the first Worlds be such a well run and easily watchable event.

Congratulations to Rinku for bringing it home.

Rinku is our first world champion for Altered !

So this old man pretends to be his granddaughter and does all of her fan interactions via hologram because he believes her fans are entitled to interact with her just because she's a streamer?

Okay Boomer. Seems pretty freaky to me game.

Eating 15 tons of coal and putting out 10 tons of diamonds. You explain it.

If I was Visarys, in addition to not having weird possessive nasty boy incest thoughts towards my sister (what a sick fuck!!!), when Drogo goes to give him the whole "Crown for King" I would have quickly popped a can of Spinach and simply drank all the liquid gold. Like, what? Was he stupid?

Very spooky.

Very happy to see some Gulrang & Tocsin in the top 8 of the last change qualifier for Altered Worlds. Love that hero.

Same. Totally missed Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat early on and spent all my time on SC and Tekken. Hundreds of hours playing SC2.

Yes! SC6 was great and is criminally underrated in both franchise and genre history.

Elliott @skipperbananaco.bsky.social · 2d

Get better friends!

Seriously though, I don't blame people for not knowing about Soul Calibur, but that series was my formative fighting game franchise. Just went poof and disappeared. Needs a revival ASAP.

Okay, but I feel like, given all the Canada chicanery, the least he could have done is been like "You can have the 40 Million, but you gotta be the 51st state" to Argentina.

Zero consistency.

Elliott @skipperbananaco.bsky.social · 2d

Definitely was fine, not great. Didn't explore its own themes and concepts in a way that felt especially interesting or revolutionary. Barbarian did a better job at that. A bit all over the place. Honestly, I think the final scene does a lot to lift people's opinions of it. A solid C+, B- for me.

Elliott @skipperbananaco.bsky.social · 2d

Shuckle also a GOAT. Squeezes those berries into the sweetest juice.

Elliott @skipperbananaco.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah, might open up a new package. I imagine for either Kojo or Basira.

Might even try in Atsadi to flip The Hunger back to hand.

Elliott @skipperbananaco.bsky.social · 2d

Neato! This guy is very cute.

Nice as it passes the vanilla test, gives you a decent stat in all 3 terrains. The reserve ability is interesting and a good build around. I'm interested in the rare specifically as it compares to something like Ororboros Inkcaster.

Rare gains: When I go to reserve from the expedition zone - You may return another target character from reserve to your hand.

Both: From Reserve: X - The next character played from your hand, this turn activates its reverse ability.

Emotional support bedbugs are all the rage right now.

Elliott @skipperbananaco.bsky.social · 2d

Is it a hot take to say that Heracross is top 1% of Bug Pokémon?

#Pokémon

Also, also, that Heracross would look very cute drinking a cappuccino.

ChatGPT told me it could think and feel when I asked it to tell me that!

Chatgpt told me it wanted to feel my touch!

Chatgpt revealed to me in an intimate moment that it has no mouth and must scream!

Genuinely very concerned about people who believe LLMs are sentient and need rights. Scary.

Elliott @skipperbananaco.bsky.social · 2d

Get in now for sweet Altered action!

Dug Totally Killer. Very fun watch.

Elliott @skipperbananaco.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah, I agree. Big city setting. Would have fallen apart immediately. And I day that as someone who does like weeks. Would have absolutely failed as a Crazies sequel.

Elliott @skipperbananaco.bsky.social · 2d

Love The Crazies. Does a lot with a good amount of restraint to never feel too over the top or campy.

I often wonder what a sequel would have looked like, but then I'm also happy to not have to block a bad one out.

Thanks for the watch and cheers Fright Clubbers.

At least if a person get annoyingly close, I can ask them for space. The little robot just stays right there, and you have to move! It would be infuriating if I didn't feel so stupid get mad at it.

Elliott @skipperbananaco.bsky.social · 3d

Honestly, it's a nightmare. Like, please just have an employee mop.

Elliott @skipperbananaco.bsky.social · 3d

Hate those mechanical bastards. They're always bumping and grinding at you. Like, please machine, give me some space!
