There was like a brief time around 2006/7 where konami would just unban cards for seemingly no reason like graceful charity, pre erata dmoc, pre ereta ring, and monster reborn (which has since been "powercrept")

The interesting thing about ring is that Magic cylinder saw actual play during that time

quite a few cards have gotten nerfed. Like Chaos Emperor Dragon (basically can't do anything if you use its effect). Ring of Destruction (you take damage first, monster must be equal or less to the opponent's life points). DmoC (spell is gained at the end phase). Brain Control (card must be normal summonable). Future Fusion (have to wait a turn to grave yard dump). Rescue Cat (effects are negated for summoned monsters).

Im caught up with Tokyo Revengers and like

I dont really understand how popular the show is. I mean I do, but I feel like the author is simply doing whatever he wants to with the power of "time travel" stuff. The story has not managed to build its emotional moments like other time travel shows (Re:zero, Steins;Gate, Erased, etc) and I really don't see a strong cohesive story developing either.

I have played other mobile games but I recently picked up ffxiv so I dropped the last straggler which was Kings raid (which I had played on and off for years) recently.

Isnt that the inherent difference between a bad launch and a bad game?

The thing is if you actually use that distinction FFXIV current should just count as a separate game. It just has the same name as the failed product. Even the dev team that worked on A realm reborn is different from the original.

The answer is XIV.

As far as I know of in history there has never been another game that they had to make a brand new game from the ground up to replace the first and then give this brand new game and all its new assets to everyone who bought the first for free. It is unique, and hopefully no other game will ever join it.

I mean there totally have been games where they HAD to do that to save it. They just didn't.

Been wrapping up some seasonal anime. Have a couple more airing thats finishing soon and maybe a series or two. Some thoughts on what I finished. In airing order. (I have not seen the final season of fruitsbasket yet)

Vivy
-Vivy is a very pretty looking show with really good animation. Vivy and Matsumoto make a good duo as their personalities even each other out well. I do think the story does try to maybe do too many things as while the overall narrative is pretty simple and makes for a compelling premise, it's just hard to get invested when it seems to go from set piece to set piece without any real great individual storylines or stakes that shows like Steins;Gate or Psycho-Pass had (2 shows this is often compared to). Still, the whole package makes it a good show.

Megalo Box S2
-This is an anime where I like the message and such that it's giving but coming off the heels of S1 it does somewhat feel like a lot of characters circumstances are in a spot they are in for convenience to make S2 interesting. This is one of those things where I think it would be better if the cast was just different from S1 and they changed somethings around that would not make sense with a cast swap. That being said, the narrative itself is probably stronger overall than the first seasons and it does offer much more character depth.

Sentouin, Hakenshimasu!
-This is basically thrift store Konosuba (made by the same author). It's amusing in places and never quite a bad show, but the characters just dont have the charm (for the most part) of other comedies of this nature. Like, ironically most of the cast is nuts (just like Konosuba's) but in this case the level-headed one in Alice is probably the best cast member.

Higehiro
-This is clearly the most polarizing shows of the season for somewhat varying reasons in and outside of Japan. I was going to write a very long dissertation about Japan's stigma for mental health and the westerns anime community lack to will to be challenged by anything they see as somewhat objectional but I won't.

As for the anime itself. I really liked it. I don't think it's perfect, I think they toss the side characters to well... the side a little too quickly so somethings seem a little fast paced. Which is weird because I also feel like the ending dragged on for a bit too long. But I really liked Saya's journey in the show as well as how unapologetically human Yoshida could be at times and I think the overall message of the anime and the themes it tackled are important things that need to be talked about.

Odd Taxi
-This is one of the few real mystery shows that I think caught my attention. The show has this "style" and I don't just mean the art, but just the package of how everything is portrayed that makes it very compelling and I can't remember the last time when interwoven storylines were done this well in anime. Highly recommend this one.

Slime Diaries
-I think this was a nice but overall pretty mediocre and somewhat unneeded spinoff of slime. I liked that Milim was in it more at the end as it added some more variety, but I think a spinoff that focused somewhat away from like Tempest would have been better.

Zombie Land Saga: Revenge
-At the moment this is my AotS. Basically everything you could want in a sequel and more. For the most part each episode is a well told somewhat self-contained story as the girls work their way back to their big show. The musical performances are great. This is also an anime where the voice work is noticeablely very good. For the most part the comedy is not as over the top as the first season, but it's much more consistent in everything it's doing imo.

86
-(I know this is technically only half done)
86 Might be the best mecha since uhhh.... I don't remember the last time I saw a mecha series that I thought was good. (I looked and the last one I thought was very good was Knights of Sidonia S2 which aired way back in 2015). 86 is a good show that I think is being somewhat overly praised. I like the cast and find Milize to be one of the best female characters of the season. The anime also has decent character development (for her at least) and paints the current state of the world and people very well. But as good as that is I can't get over how little actually happens. They basically spend 11 episodes revealing 1 major story point and not making progress on another one. I'm also surprised on how unattached I feel to the actual 86 squad.

Nagatoro
-I wasn't quite on board with this in the first couple of episodes but the show just got better and better. This is another show that has had some "controversy" but doesn't make me as upset at the anime community as Higehiro. (But it still makes me somewhat annoyed). Takagi-san is one of my favorite shows so I was surprised when I didn't quite like this at first. But as I said it came into form. It's slightly different than Takagi-san of course. Nagatoro feels much more like a cat and mouse romance which makes sense seeing that the ages of the characters are older here. I think what Takagi-san has over this is that the back and forth between Nishikata and Takagi is basically perfection and has this sense of timing and expectation that is just unmatched. Nagatoro doesn't quite match that, but I still enjoyed the show a lot.

The difference is with lich you get unlucky and can like just lose all your leverage because you basically have a dead hero power after that.

With other heroes even if you lose a couple of rounds because you power leveled you maintain leverage if your hero is at least average.

One time I ALMOST won with illidan using a macaw bomb cheese build.

ALso Baz'hial is a unit I've picked a lot and the cost of the gold to level faster or get another unit just puts you too far behind life wise when you compare it to other heroes that can either scale better or can do things to improve their curve too AND do other things. Like compare her to Barov who just has much more high roll potential at what I'd argue is a lower cost for what I would say is a pretty comparable skill intensive hero.
