You might call him unqualified, book at the resume of recent candidates. if you think about it, wouldn't you say that loopholes is pretty much the Apprentice of yugitube

It's wild that Democrat think tanks are trying to drum up electoral support for Gavin Newsom off the back of his viral series of witty tweets, when the superior option of Doug Zeeff is right there

A screenshot of the game crashing in Cimo's youtube video "I HOSTED A YU-GI-OH! DUNGEON DICE MONSTERS TOURNAMENT!!!" The video is a collaboration between cimo, theJWittz, Pharahmone, DistantCoder, and Team APS

ya'll ever watch the cimo dungeon dice video where he sets aside time to schedule with 4 other people to play the early days collection tournament-style?

the game crashed like 4 times, all to play the misery that is dungeon dice monsters. it's a wonder this video (game) ever saw the light of day

I would not. I don't often make decisions about buying games based on their dollar per hour cost, but I think I would only spend that much on a short game if I was extremely confident that it would become one of my favorites.

i think its a little fucked up that white binder's corpse is barely cold and you're on db looking for a polycule of 10s to replace her with

I don't really think field spells are really that great right now. the only real deck that could use something like this might be white forest, but does that deck even want more engine at the cost of extradeck slots?

i hate to say it but... i think this card is perfectly fine power-wise. maybe this'll encourage a tenpai player to come to locals again or something, god knows you aren't searching maliss in underground with it.

What's especially funny about this is that I have a hunch that the error happened when trying to accommodate the Fur Hire PSCT joke.

It's hard to word the effect in a way that both properly explains the effect and includes the joke.

The Konami-translated effect text of Rex, Ride Fur Hire

You can reveal this card in your hand; Special Summon 1 monster "Fur Hire" from your hand, except "Rex, Ride Fur Hire", then Special Summon this card. You can only use this effect of "Rex, Ride Fur Hire" once per turn. If a card(s) is added from the Deck to your opponent's hand, except by a card effect "Fur Hire", and you control another monster "Fur Hire" (except during the Damage Step): You can draw 1 card.

The Ygorganization translated effect text of "Rex, Ride Fur Hire"

You can only use the (1)st effect of this card’s name once per turn.
(1) You can reveal this card in your hand; Special Summon 1 monster β€œFur Hire” from your hand, except β€œRex, Gale Fur Hire”, then Special Summon this card.
(2) If a card(s) is added from the Deck to your opponent’s hand by a non-β€œFur Hire” card’s effect and you control another monster β€œFur Hire”: You can draw 1 card.

I'm pretty sure the text on "Rex, Ride Fur Hire" has been mistranslated. TCG Rex can trigger in the draw phase when your opponent draws a card, whereas OCG Rex only draws a card when your opponent adds a card to hand with a non-"Fur Hire" card's effect.

then they'd have to list it as lightly played instead of near mint when it's finally time to sell

he's been using machine learning to draw a correlation between the number of interruptions on the board at the end of the turn to the cards that player had at the start of the turn. It's meant to assess the value of each card from a set of test duels that he catalogues the information from.

A Machine Learning Approach to Card Values in Yu-Gi-Oh! Yu-Gi-Oh! is a complicated game; we’re thinking about it wrong.

Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream Will Allow Same-Sex Relationships & Non-Binary Miis Finally fulfilling the "more inclusive" promise

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.)

this one seems more informed than actman's by a lot, but is still kind of caught in the trap that few turns means the game isn't interactive. It's also kind of crazy since yugioh was pretty grindy this year, it's a massive selling point of dracotail and fiendsmith as engines.
