I absolutely adore this game, but imo it's a terrible candidate for a remaster. The graphics were already stylized so I doubt a graphics update would make much difference. It's a puzzle game so the replayability is already low. And I can't imagine that developer commentary get people excited about buying the game again.

I wish this was successful, but I can see why this went sideways.

It's been a while since I've used it, but the site "clicked" with me quickly. I used to be an avid tappedout user

Oof that's a tough one... mull to 5 is rough, they probably figured they'd have a better chance to draw those lands, especially if the curve was good.

Esper taking a huge chunk of the field, but honestly still pretty diverse metagame. It might have something to do with the bigger card pool. I'm excited to see what comes out on top!

There are dozens of us! I think the book is enjoyable if all you're expecting is a fun but shallow ride. If it's been hyped up, it's going to be disappointing. A lot of reviews treat it like the pinnacle of the genre, which is ridiculous.

It's about being respectful. Using someone's condition they can't control as a descriptor is (at least in my opinion) disrespectful.

I agree with your main points, but I don't think that just because something has been the status quo it doesn't deserve scrutiny. There are those out there who feel that this is an issue. For them, the best time to explore it is now. At this point it's futile, but I think it's important that we re-evaluate our laws and policies when there's a group asking for it. We just need to make sure the people making the decisions at the end of the day are competent...

Poor Wii U... I had forgotten they had a TP remaster for it. I hope they end up bringing it and the WW remaster to Switch or whatever console is after it.

If you have access to it, I recommend playing the Majora's Mask remaster on 3DS. I also tried to start the N64 version a few times and couldn't stay motivated until I played the remaster.

I hope the game picks up for you! I remember enjoying the game a lot, the items were fun and that final boss was a blast. I also really liked the art style, though I can see why some people didn't.

I haven't played it since launch, but I'm really hoping they do a remaster for it soon. I'm surprised they did Skyward Sword before it...

Wow that's impressive! I can't imagine the time and dedication it took to create this.

Honestly, that's great that you enjoy them! I think the negativity is the sets aren't self-contained. Once they're released, they're a part of magic and the eternal formats forever. Especially for those who have played for decades, that identity shift of the game is jarring.

My take is the two UB and MH3 in the lineup are very polarizing, leading to negative perceptions overall.

While I don't feel as negatively about these sets as the other poster, the attempt to be "flashy" strikes me the wrong way. Even though it's been years now, I feel the same was true for the sets you listed in your response.

I understand that they're trying to market to a broad audience and generate hype for cool new worlds / themes / crossovers, but I'd prefer if the sets were slower and we spent more time on each plane.

I realize this topic has been beaten to death and I have a bit of old man bias with this, but I'm not thrilled that trend is continuing.

I'm sure the next few days before the surgery are going to be tough emotionally for both of you. It sounds like your SO likely doesn't realize how worried they are or how much it's affecting them, but giving them a little space is a good move.

Try not to beat yourself up for getting upset - it's a perfectly normal reaction, especially in a stressful situation like this. Luckily there're a few days before the procedure so you can hopefully discuss it and be supportive of each other. This internet stranger is sending love!

It is! But it's a bit sad we have to think about it.

Wow wasn't expecting to see an Addie LaRue reference today! Who's to say that the thought of "Ralph" doesn't trigger thoughts or feelings in an individual that affects them later on today, later on this week, etc. I agree it's a beautiful sentiment.

P.S. That's probably my favorite book I've read in the last few years.

"Piracy preserves what capitalism can't be bothered to."

Love that sentence, and I agree with your points that these pieces of media are available not truly "lost." I don't hold anything against studios/publishers not wanting to invest time to make niche ports/emulations available, especially when it won't make them money.

Interesting! So if I'm understanding correctly, the scare about YouTube stopping adblocked users was being caused by the Enhancer for Youtube extension? If so, that's a relief.

Came here to post something similar. I'm in my 30s but can't resist going for a little "cart-ride" in the parking lot when going back to my car.
